Dip 55 Hagakure Diplomacy Spring 1571 Results

New units on the map and things are hotting up now. The Suo Sea continues to be a sticking point, while Oda takes advantage in Kii.Further north, and Hojo and Takeda combined against Uesugi, but to no avail. Only one neutral unit remains, but there are still a few empty SCs yet to be taken.

"One cannot accomplish things simply with cleverness. One must take a broad view. It will not do to make rash judgments concerning good and evil. However, one should not be sluggish. It is said that one is not truly a samurai if he does not make his decisions quickly and break right through to completion".
----------------Tsunetomo, Yamamoto "Hagakure, Book of the Samurai"

Ha! Now that the fool Chosokabe has been driven from the shores of the Kanto, the wrath of Heaven shall descend upon the degenerate Takeda, who are so busy laying with their horses to stop the rampant Clan interbreeding they are notorious for that they cannot even seize one province without needing the aid of the Hojo, whose gekokujo-practicing commanders are too busy slurping on opium pipes to realize that their time is long come and gone. At the rate those drag queens are going, their peasants will be feasting on Uesugi rice by the next moon! They'll be the mockery of all Japan in no time, and their ancestors will weep tears of shame at their loss of honor. A fitting end for incompetents trying to be sei'i-tai-shogun!

[MDR]

We'll see about that. And you can't hold Kii without help. It won't be long before I've got fleets sitting off your coast, HDS. BTW, thanks for keeping the peasants repressed. It'll make transfer of power so much easier.

[SnowFire]

ARGH, somebody's messengers now need to commit seppuku. This happened in Game A too, my ICQ must be cursed or something.

Orange, did you recieve the latest moves I sent you? If not, that's okay, or I could send you my own ICQ log which would have a time stamp. It's not a HUGE issue, but if this is correctable, that'd be nice.

Anyway, assuming the message went through, you'll note that the first moves I sent you were followed almost immediately with (the time stamp on my original moves is 6:20, on the second set 6:24):
Moves change:
F Inaba->Wakasa Bay
A Settsu->Kawachi
A Omi->Yamashiro
A Echizen->Tamba

[the_orange1]

Snowfire, I never received the second set of orders and I gave you a couple of days before adjudicating. But, I'm happy to accept the reason this time. The orders have been modified above and the new map is at:

To all players, please assume I have NOT recieved orders unless you recieve a confirmation message from me.

[MDR]

Orange1,

I just sent my moves a second time. Let me know if you get them.
