---Just say no to Crane. Its the gateway clan. It will start out innocently enough. Only playing Crane once in a while or at parties. But then suddenly you cant stop. You find yourself playing Crane in storyline tourneys and dressing up in powder blue boas and dying your hair white. *shudder* Please, please for the love of God, just say no to Crane.

Americans have never won any European tournaments, huh? HOW ABOUT WORLD WAR TWO WHEN [insert jingoistic rant here].
If it weren't for the good ol' U.S. of A., there'd be 80 some million people in Europe speaking German RIGHT NOW.

Gempukku is never going to be a staple card, but it does have it's
value and it will definitely see more play time than many actions out
there.
Further, I doubt anyone will ever scream at a tourney (for good
reason): "DAMN GEMPUKKU FUCKS ME EVERY TIME!!!". But, again, it has
it's uses in the game (and I don't just mean as a coaster).

However, the art on Broken Words is really, um, not. "Broken Face" is more like it...
What the hell happened to Hochiu in that picture? Does he not die in lost duels by letting his face take the brunt of the blows or what? He looks like the creepy drunk homeless guy out front of the local comic store that keeps getting beaten up by the other creepy drunk homeless guys.
No offense to The Hochiu, of course. I don't want him to go go all Bitter/Spirit Legion on my ass again.

Sorry. Ummm....how 'bout this:
RARRRRRR! The Hochiu SMASHED the fool Kurohito! Henceforth the Hochiu shall simply refer to Kurohito as the Fool. Ha! THe Hochiu now has less to type each time he explicates, in gory detail, how he humbled the Fool in combat! FEEL the awesome power of The Hochiu's drive to typing efficiency! It is this relentless drive for perfection (not neglecting the role of MUSHROOM CLOUDS) that has raised The Hochiu *above* the roiling sea of stuff he currently sees *below* him. The Hochiu will now read from his new book, A Duelling Primer, with the Master of Fire:
<ahem>
See the Fool.
See the Fool run. Run, Fool, RUN!
Is that the best you can do? RUN, Fool, RUN!
Smooth.
The Fool falls down.
Fall, Fool, Fall.
The Hochiu kicks him in the nuts.
Nuts, Fool, nuts.
See the MUSHROOM CLOUDS! Where are your nuts now,
Fool?
In the stratusphere, Fool, in the stratusphere.
See The Hochiu stand victorious.
The Hochiu still has his nuts.
Pity the Fool.
Word.
Moving stuff, The Hochiu thinks you'll agree. But let this be a signal warning to all those who would oppose The Hochiu (and, by extension, MUSHROOM CLOUDS): The Hochiu has yet to meet a Fool he has not Pitied. Do not be the next! Yo!

Subject: [Shiba_Halls] How to Decorate a Christmas Tree, Rokugan Style...
Editor's note: This one will probably eventually be moved into rants, but will reside here for now so I can justify a Phoenix page. =P
One of the few things our contact with the gaijin have given Rokugan is the tradition of Christmas. Asako scholars note that Christmas was once widely celebrated among all Rokugan. The tradition was lost in the first reign of the Iron Chrysanthemum, the Emperor choosing to believe that there could be no reason to celebrate the birth of anyone other than himself, and that having fun and spending time with family was for the weak.
In typical evil dictator fashion, he abolished it and ordered all written records of it destroyed. About 45 years ago, the Gaijin Explosives Expert, Alejundro Corneilo taught us once again about this wondrous holiday.
Without going into the celebration details that you all know so well, I'd like to give some Christmas Tree decorating tips.
1) Find a suitable evergreen tree. Bonsai are too small. Doji Kurohito once tried to put a rather large origami ornament on his ancestral Bonsai tree, and ended up breaking a branch that his great grandfather first trimmed into shape. If he wasn't the clan champion, I'm sure someone would have asked for his seppuku. Think pine or cedar.
2) Petition the forest kami to allow you to cut this tree for the celebration. There was a Hida last year who just took his ono to the nearest tree without the proper ritual and was promptly turned into a sapling for his trouble. It's interesting to note that a Kaiu, using the proper ritual cut down him down for use in a seige engine. It seems even as trees, the Crab never stop fighting.
3) Have the tree placed in a bucket of water inside your home, and if you live with a Fire
Henshin, keep plenty of extra sand and water nearby in case of emergency. Our own The Hochiu as a child tried to Mushroom Cloud his christmas tree. If it weren't for the fact Tsuke's wife was used to things randomly exploding due to her husband's unpredictable moods, it's possible we'd have charcoal as our current master of fire.
4) Decorate the tree with festive and/or shiny objects hung from it's branches. The Lion seem to think that severed heads of their enemies are festive objects, but most other clans think this
rather gauche. It is also considered quite unacceptable to use shuriken to decorate the tree,
especially in the same country as Kitsuki ninja hunters. Jade is considered particularly appropriate for use as an ornament in Crab lands, and recently in Otosan Uchi.
5) Avoid your tree the night before Christmas, as the Kami Santa Clause will be delivering gifts
to the honorable, and lumps of coal to the dishonorable. If you see him delivering gifts, it is
very likely that he will view this as a great dishonor and you may find yourself kneeling before
your Daimyo and becoming more acquainted with your wakizashi than you'd like.
I hope that with these tips, your Christmas celebration will be a happy and enjoyable one.
Merry Christmas!
