Courts of the Crane Clan

Now that a new Kotei season is upon us, let's talk about the mega-game.

This year, winners have a choice to save icons of the Great Clans. Saving another clan's icon can either bring us closer or drive us apart. Which of our icons do you want to see saved? What other clan's icons do we want to save?

In order of importance:

Kyuden Otomo (I really want to see it again )
Doji Courtier School
Single Strike Style

Incidently, I have a bounty out for a Crane who chooses the Akodo Battle College, or a Lion who chooses the Doji Courtier School, as a way of bringing the two Clans closer together.

I also have a bounty for not corrupting the Kakita Academy.

I am mostly involved with the Crane over the Kakita Academy. Noritoshi, Toshimoko and Tadanobu are among my favorite L5R characters. Let's keep it in the family. Though I feel like if it were corrupted it could be interesting and of course it is so fundamental to the clan that we would likely see it return.

The Kakita Academy should be our most preserved icon, together with its famous dueling style.

The Spider should corrupt the Doji courtier school. Maybe that would give us the chance to actually accomplish something interesting.

And it's much more tempting to corrupt than the Daidoji Iron Warrior.
But on the other hand, I think that Spider players have better targets (Crab...) .

Just got back from the Tenesse Kotei. Lots of fun. Got to meet Daidoji Reiji IRL and others.

I will say that Mantis/Shika sensei is something that needs to be addressed. Unless a ban/errata comes out, we either need to build against it or not bother planning on winning anything.

Also, Dragon Enlightenment is viable? Who knew!
