Dip 55: Hagakure Diplomacy Spring 1572 Results

"When there is something to be said, it is better if it is said right away. If it is said later, it will sound like an excuse. Moreover, it is occasionally good to really overwhelm your opponent. Also, in addition to having spoken sufficiently, it is the highest sort of victory to teach your opponent something that will be to his benefit. This is in accordnace with the Way".
-----Tsunetomo, Yamamoto "Hagakure, Book of the Samurai"

[RUFFHAUS 8]

As much as I would like to have it this way, I think that my army in Chikugo should have moved to Buzen, although it is listed in the moves and shown on the map as bouncing. Orange One, can we get this cleared up before the moves are due? Thanks.

Lord Shimazu Yoshihisa

[Dr. Nick]

Orders from the Daimyo Uesugi have been dispatched to the mighty Uesugi armies in an attempt to gain the surprise advantage over our enemies!

[the_orange1]

Ruffy, sorry about that, you are of course right - I must have been drunk or something...
Anyway, I unfortunately can't change the map until I get back from my holidays (Thursday) so please everyone just assume that Army is in Buzen.

[Dr. Tzuri]

Hello there, I know that I paid attention late, but I have just got back home from the army (I were there 11 days). I think you have a mistake, Orange, my army at Izumo moved to Hoki instead of Aki, like I sent you. Please check your ICQ history.

Thank you, and may us continue the game..

[the_orange1]

Tzuri, you're right. I'll change it tonight

[Dr. Tzuri]

Thank you,

but I found another mistake:
Shimazu's Army should be at Buzen instead of Chikugo.

Thank you again..

[the_orange1]

If you scroll up, that one has already been noticed and corrected in the orders. Unfortunatley, I've been on holiday so haven't been able to change the map. I will do so tonight. I now have all orders in for the next turn, but will give people 24 hrs to revise following the map change in case it makes a difference.
