The House of the Samurai

[Paddy]

of your knowledge....

so help me then which one?

[Ljube]

Kampaku is the best title in Japan, on paper.
Better even than emperor as kampaku exerts real power (on paper) while the emperor has many ceremonial duties.

[Paddy]

duely noted

/me passes the sake to Ljube

[Daddy-O]

Rise Kampaku Paddiock Taronga

[Krill]

Wold it be possible for one more humble servant to join the house of the Samurai, and the learn the Samurais' way?

And if I have to have a new name, Krillshi should be OK...

[Daddy-O]

How many turns are we to be playing 5 or 10? Are we not supposed to post polls? What is going on?

[Paddy]

10 turns for the first era

Polls are optional extra, mainly to get the opinons and hopes of the Clan. that there have been none is most surprising...

[Daddy-O]

Thank you for clarifying. Now stop over at the Chaniwa Bonsai for a hot tea, or a cold biiru.
