Ok, I read it. While Emperor Hentai XXXIX sits leisurely on the Heavenly Throne, we the mounted steppe warriors put our lives on the line to defend the realm from foreigners beyond the Great Wall.

Rokugan's world is a hodgepodge of Eastern Asian stuff.

The Empire's defense depends critically on outsider technology, traditions and warfare. Thus, Unicorn is the best clan. QED.

I don't understand what the duel system is for. The winner loses a bunch of ki points and gains nothing unless they already have some dishonour?

I guess since the loser gets roleblocked it might be worthwhile to challenge someone you think is scum, but there is still every chance of shooting yourself in the foot instead

HMMMM

I think it makes sense to ##refuse since there are no mechanical consequences for just one dishonour. I will accept the next one though if one comes, to try and eliminate that dishonour

Or maybe... you want that dishonor 🦂

So in the ~lore~, Scorpion Clan thrives on dishonor. Of course, this probably means that for this game, they are the noblest warriors known in Rokugan.

Same but I actually can't wound or kill people if you lose against me. And it'll be a fair fight.

AFancyQuestionMark posted:

Curious. That means that you can't roleblock thorugh duels, so there isn't actually any incentive for you to challenge other players as you would lose your ki points for no benefit. I get why you would challenge someone to prove your role, but it still seems a bit odd.

That'd also mean that Cube is a "safe" challenge target for anyone who wants/needs to use their challenge but is afraid of losing.

On the ki duel math, how dare you bring up "science" into bushido!? The samurai code is not a problem to be solved; it is the highest expression of self-sacrifice and honour above all earthly concerns.

Allow me to quote Yamamoto Tsunetomo, a samurai turned monk, who is not from Rokugan, but from Earth:

Bushido is realised in the presence of death. In the case of having to choose between life and death you should choose death. There is no other reasoning.

I don't like Maugrim today because:
- Gambler's fallacy, they've been scum recently.
- Actually playing the "dueling seems pretty bad folks" concept straight, which is what I did in Cultivation Mafia. Setup spec suggests it seems likely that at least a couple of folks would be in exactly that scenario.

Speaking of, how come you flipped your script entirely from Cultivation Mafia regarding the drawbacks of dueling?

Unsure, but the pile up on them was absolutely stupid and suspicious as hell, containing at least one player that I'm pretty sure knows PMom does this all the time, (Josef) and a bunch of absolutely terrible drive by votes from players that dropped it and vanished. (Fancy, Circl)

I'd also add the second Cube vote to that list.
