Sengoku Jidai, Japanese interactive History

[Revolting Friendship]

Not this day Toyosada, not at this place.
None the less, the death of my brave vassal Norimatsu Nobukatsu stings me no less, I'm sure, than that wound to your shoulder. I wish that I could have died beside him, chasing your head. I grieve greatly over this. But I did not have time to die on that beach. I have much left to do before my time in this life is over.

OOC:
Awesome chapter Kage. Could hardly read it from all the excitement.

[Ravie]

Awesome :)

[Kagemusha]

Thanks guys. I would recommend with it: A small measure of peace from Hans Zimmer, for music. Atleast thats what i was listening while writing it.

What a wonderfully bloody chapter Kage!

What a wonderfully bloody chapter Kage!

Indeed, the growing power of the Date can't be denied.

To Miyoshi Chokei

The bloodletting of this autumn
was a prelude of that to come,
as the cherry blossoms of Japan
will run crimson at the rise
of this sanguine Spring sun.



Oda Nobunaga

[Prince Cobra]

Words can not express my grief,
for my fortune was robbed by a thief.
But the enemy shall pay
and I will expect this day.

Oh of course Sorin, I know you was to much of a coward to stay and fight. You are a coward, besides being a rebel. I am still alive, and happliy for me, at least your vassal was killed. So I am somewhat happy.


We will fight one day, now, no, but one day Sorin.


Lord Yamana Toyosada

[Prince Cobra]

I, Kanrei of Nippon, appeal for the aid or condolnces for my loss from any daimyo that still considers himself to be loyal of the Shogunate or hesitates which side in the present conflict to take. My own daughter was left as widow by the rebel called Oda Nobunaga and the scum of a dog called Asai Nagamasa. I will accept and will not forget anybody who decides to give his hand to the Miyoshi in this hour of need.

Miyoshi Chokei

This could be also done via pm.

Miyoshi Chokei

I am deeply sadded Kanrei. Oda, Otomo,Asai Nagamasa and their rebels allies must be brought to justice. I, Lord Yaman Toyosada am still loyal to the Shogunate and will help deafet these dogs anyway I can. I am sure Lord Amako, Mori and Ukita feel the same!


May Budda Damn them!


Lord Yamana Toyosada

[Paradox]

You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Kenshin. Such a sly and dishonorable move, you should know better. If you wish to engage with my army, have the courage to perform it traditionally like old times. Despite your insolence, I see you have taken this fight to the next level, I look forward to our next battles, that is, if you are still the Dragon of Echigo that I knew.

Takeda Shingen, Daizen-Daibu

[Revolting Friendship]

Oh of course Sorin, I know you was to much of a coward to stay and fight. You are a coward, besides being a rebel.

I'm brave enough to be called a coward for doing what I had to do. I will not risk the stability of my clan by dying needlessly. That is not courage, that is not virtue, that is waste and idiocy. I have other responsibilities than wielding my spear, no matter how much I wish to do it.

One day I may be in a situation where I have no other choice. This was not one of those days, but trust me when I say that I long for it.

Ôtomo Sorin

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Yes Sorin, that what you will say time and time after time again.

We will see if your comment is true or not.



Lord Yamana Toyosada

[AggonyDuck]

Asakura brought his fate upon himself and you, Kanrei, chose to wage a war against me and my allies. Asakura felt threatened by me and my alliance with Asai Nagamasa, and decided to attack me while I was vulnerable. Now he has paid the price. As to you, Miyoshi Chokei, I hope you are prepared to sacrifice the things you hold dear, because no victory over me will be cheaply purchased, as my many enemies have already witnessed.

As to the other daimyo of Japan, once this conflict is over the victor will be mortally wounded and you will have the chance to perform the coup de grâce.

Oda Nobunaga

[Kagemusha]

Im sorry. You guys, except Shimazu, have to wait for your situation reports until tomorrow evening. Im too tired to write them today.

[Revolting Friendship]

OOC:
Don't stress about it Kage, you have given us more these past days than I was hoping for.

[Monk]

The way of the land is fast becoming the way of the sword, it is unfortunate those things that are cut down by its graceful pass and are lost forever. May the coming winter bring a chill that freezes the terrible conflict between Oda, the Kanrei and their allies. So that both sides may see reason. May it freeze as it would the blood in a warrior's veins.

OOC: Indeed, no worries Kage!

Most Noble Takeda Shingen,

If the Takeda daimyo wishes to fight me then he should lead his men to me. I will await your swords, and you shall die before me.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

It's fine with me!


My birthday is March 11th, so hopefully the chapter is up by then and hopefully everything works out for Lord Yamana and our allies!

Oda Nobunaga

It was you who break the peace, Oda Nobunaga. It was your Shibata Katsuie (may he be reborn as a dog) that started this war. It was Asai Nagamasa who admired you and became your puppet.

Your words can mislead many people but not me. I know what your ambitions are. I congratulate you on your victory against Asakura Yoshikage. I hope it will be the last victory in your life, Oda Nobunaga.

[Kagemusha]

OOC: I am now writing the situation reports and the Kyushu daimyos already have theirs. The new income will arrive to your Clans after the next chapter. So disband any forces you dont want to maintain through out the next year at the end of the next season. Also remainder to old players and information to new players. Armies will march slower during winter, attrition is also lot bigger, thus armies out on the field will suffer and last movement of navies is more hazardous, because of winter storms.

EDIT: All the situation reports sent, except for Lord Hojo, who knows whats the reason behind that. Sorry Seign Thelas. But once you send me that pm i pm´d you about, youl get yours also.

I offered a sincere apology and a peace offer to Asakura for that incident, which he accepted. As to your insult to Shibata Katsuie; it is rather ironic that you insult him when you do not have a man in your ranks even worthy to stand in his shadow! His dedication and determination set an example for all of us and we will not rest until we can honour his memory back in Owari. When the snow withdraws, Shibata shall have his vengeange!
