Dip 55 Hagakure Diplomacy Spring 1576 Results

THOUGHT FOR THE PHASE:

'A warrior should be careful in all things and should dislike to be the least bit worsted. Above all, if he is not careful in his choice of words he may say things like, "I'm a coward," or "At that time I'd probably run," or "How frightening," or "How painful." These are words that should not be said even in jest, on a whim, or when talking in one's sleep. If a person with understanding hears such things, he will see to the bottom of the speaker's heart. This is something that should be carefully thought about beforehand.'
-----Tsunetomo, Yamamoto Hagakure, Book of the Samurai

Uesugi retreat to Inaba. I will have the updated map up tonight.

Autumn results will be extended by 24hrs in case the retreat makes a difference. Now due on Tuesday 9 October at 1159 GMT. Please get them in by then.

[RUFFHAUS 8]

INFIDELS!!! Uesugi, you craven flea-bitten dog. This was not agreed to! Your stench shall be cleansed from these islands.

[Dr. Nick]

In old treaties the infidel Shimazu had agreed that any orange Scs were the rightful ownership of Uesugi! Now if daimyo Shimazu isn't happy with his Chosokabe lackey alone then so be it, let it be known that with Hojo, Uesugi shall help cleanse the glorious islands from Shimazu and his lacky, Wormtongue Chosokabe!

[Defiant]

"Why can't we be friends"

[RUFFHAUS 8]

Keep talking, peasants! Your betters are sailing north towards victory and conquest!


Uesugi, my champion will cut off your head with your own katana, and place it upon the pikes of my legions as they march onward. Hojo, you can hide behind the dogs all you wish, but we all know that your day is coming too. You are salemated at sea. Can it be long before Uesugi feels your bite?

[MDR]

El Awrence makes a wonderful spokesman for the Portugese and their treed God.

Tell me, how do you like being considered a "little father"?

[Dr. Nick]

The only "little father" here is Ruff.

How's the wife daimyo Shimazu Randolf?

*kicks Chosokabe-the-lackey in the groin*

[MDR]

It is the weak and simple-minded that react with violence.

I guess you're two for two, El Awrence...
