Sengoku Jidai, Japanese interactive History

Open statement:

Lord Ôtomo tends to find needless slander rather uninspiring. However this much is a fact:
Lord Asai has never ordered the slaughter of unarmed men, while it remains a fact that Lord Asakura indeed, has. Unless I am alone together with my ally Shimazu Takahisa to count christians as men.

As your fate draws ever closer, Asakura Yoshikage, I would have expected to see at least some measure of remorse. Nonetheless, you have managed to outdo even my own oppinions of you, which admittedly is quite a feat.

Message to Lord Amako:

Tell me, esteemed Lord. What kind of a man would I be to turn coat and betray my friend and ally, Lord Môri?

Ôtomo Sorin

The Christians are were not men.

Esteemed Otomo Sorin

I would say to you a wise one. Judge your ally by his record - he stabbed me in the back while an ally and after I and my troops had bourne the brunt of a campaign that he has benefited from. When he stood with you before Gassan Toda he choose to run like a woman in the night rather than face my forces - leaving you at a disadvantage when I attacked. Who is to say if you are not next on his list of allies to betray? We both could weaken our forces fighting each other leaving the Mori cowards to attack the weakened force afterwards. This clan with no honour dares not stand in a true fight like you or I. I have no quarrel with you, I have only attacked you in defence of my capital. Join me and see how an honorable ally acts.

Lord Amako

Again a nice update Kage and I must say you sure manage to keep poor Oda occupied with challenges. But that said I do like to crack hard nuts. :2thumbsup:

Amako Haruhisa,

I assume you realize that as long as the Môri, the Shimazu and the Ôtomo stand united, you will fall, sooner or later.

Divide and conquer. If you split our alliance with false offers, turn us against eachother while strenghtening your own position, you can later pick us off, one by one. With your ally Yamana, you are already strong enough to offer the three of us formidable resistance. You have no need for any of us as allies, you would gain the upper hand by simply isolating Môri to stand alone.

I am not a fool, nor am I one to betray one man for the offers of another. Lord Môri withdrew to his lands to protect his people, and you call him a coward for it. All the while, you were the one who choose to attack defense-less people rather than fighting our armies upfront.

Lord Môri betrayed you, but that has nothing to do with my personal honour. You ask me to stain it by lowering myself to the rank of a mercenary, and you speak of it as honour. At this point I would fight you even if Môri was not involved.

And know this. What you have seen of the Kyûshû hosts up until now has been a token force. My assets have been invested in building projects, but now the harvest has come. By spring your lands will be covered with the banners of our clans. By that time, your people will thank the heavens that noone in our alliance is a ruthless butcher such as yourself,

Ôtomo Sorin

OOC:
Kage, I have sent you the updated map to your mail.

OOC:

An open statement to the people of Echizen and Kaga:

I did not want this war against the Asakura clan and it saddens me, that the aggression of the Asakura daimyo, has already brought strife and despair to Owari, Echizen and Kaga. Sadly this war has already degenerated to a state where a peaceful solution is impossible. I hope to be able to repair the damage caused by my occupation at the first possible moment and as a sign of my good will for the people of Echizen, the taxes for the next coming year will be decreased by a quarter to an amount of 11250 koku for the whole province. I will also attempt to persuade the new lord of Kaga, Hatakeyama Yoshitsugu to agree to a similar relief for the subjects of Kaga province. I wish the best for both of the provinces and hopefully under my supervision we can bring back prosperity to the wartorn region.

Our people will never surrender, not even for your petty bribes.

How can they surrender to me when I'm fighting you, not them?

Open Letter to the Christians of Echizen and Kaga

Lord Oda and Myself have no issue with religion.. so long as you serve us as all other religions do, then you are free to practice what religion you wish.
I invite priests to Echizen to renew the chrisitian influence here and help the christians that have survived the genocide of Asakura to rebuild there lives and practice the religion as they wish.

Asai Nagamasa

Open letter from clan Ôtomo

Lord Asai, Lord Oda, you have my deepest thanks for your show of benevolence, tolerance and wisdom. I will never forget this generous act towards christianity. I will send some of our priests to make sure the christian religion is practiced to its words in your lands, and that your christian subjects will lead peaceful and dutyful lifes.

May you set an example to all other Daimyô,

Ôtomo Sorin

Bah! I already killed all of the christians in my land.

So you thought Asakura.. there are plenty you missed... as Oda and Myself have proven... you aren't hard to deceive and out manoeuvre.

Kage

I am off on holiday for a week and will be away from a PC, so my move may be a little delayed as I haven't had my PM yet.

------
OOC: Well, Kanrei is back and is ready to read and reply to the letters of his fans. :stars: (mixed the cookie, sorry; this is what will happen if the Kanrei fails to reply).

Hey, Kage, I've just voted for you and you are not going to leave this poor Interactive die in the cold night of the winter? :beam:

Joking aside. I'm back and I hope this Interactive will be soon rolling. If there is any delayal it's normal... Take your time Kage...

P.S. Happy birthday, King Kurt.

Back in the game:

The winter is coming and the season is beautiful. We think only barbarian can stay unmoved by the change of the seasons. But the winter is also the season of death so we will remember all who died in these difficult times in Nippon. We will pray to the Gods better times to come for Nippon. For the winter is also the season of the beginning.

Miyoshi Chokei, Kanrei

The only blow they know is the stab in the back. They are not true warriors and a disgrace to the Bushido code. As usual they decieved an ally, leaving the Otomo to face the might of the Amako. At least they stood and fought like men rather than fleeing like prattling women.

I say to all allies of the Mori - look at their record - they have stabbed me in the back after my forces had done most of the fighting and they deserted the Otomo when faced with the prospect of a fight. I say to the Otomo and the Shimazu who do you wish for an ally - a dishonorable coward or a warrior with honor. Join with me and we will crush these dogs who an insult to Bushido. They dare not face my small forces in Gassan Toda, so with a united force they will not stop running until they are up to their necks in the sea. I do not seek money or lands - they can be yours - all I seek is a justified revenge. Only when the banners of the Mori hang from and the severed head of the Mori Lord looks down on the ramparts of Gassan Toda will I sleep easy.

Dearest Lord Amako,

Lord Mori wonders why Lord Amako speaks lowly of the Mori. We won't face you in open battle? Come out from behind your walls. We won't face you in open battle? Stop raiding villages and killing peasants. The only blow we know how to strike is to the back? You have done the same with your pincer attack at Gassan Toda. My head WILL look down at Gassan Toda. But it will be attached to my body, and I shall stand alongside Lord Otomo and Lord Shimazu while I view MY castle from the top of MY keep.

Love,
Mori Motonari

And concerning Lord Otomo's faith, although we of the Mori clan are devout Buddhists, we shall make no effort to suppress Christianity. The people are free to practice it as they like within my lands. There is a church in Koriyama Castle, alongside a Buddhist monestary that all men are free to use as they like.

So says Mori Motonari

To Lord Amako,



I hope my Messnagers reach your castle alright?





Yamanda Todosada

Lord Yamana,

No I didn't receive them. No messengers have come to me.
