OOC Pregame Thread

[Seppun Urusai]

Very meta.

[Shiba Haru]

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

But I don't like you now, so what would that change?

Anyway,

Any Crane who want to play with oars, just swing on down by the docks and we'll get you sorted!

How can you say that we haven't even met yet? Has my brother been telling tales about me again?

[Seppun Urusai]

Should he be?

Should we listen if he does?

[Shiba Haru]

Certainly not, just look at him he's clearly shifty and unreliable.

I mean, you characterized my lord's gracious hospitality to his Crane guests as picking on them, a slander I'm not sure any self-respecting samurai could stand for!

Especially when he goes to such lengths to provide entertainment, fresh air, and plenty of exercise for them!

OOC: This is exactly why the Phoenix and Mantis are always at war, this attitude.

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

I thought it was 'cause AEG had nothing better for either of them to do most of the time?

[Shiba Haru]

and the fact that all this Mantis sass is coming from a Phoenix player and is directed at a Phoenix hasn't escaped me. Projecting?

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

Honestly, i got REALLY sick of the clunky, manufactured "rivalry," and was very glad that FFG seemed to have moved the Mantis' targeting reticule.

[Shiba Haru]

But they moved it to my clan! Remember that brief moment when the Mantis were all up the Lion's face because they had one good boat? (The Deathless) I want to go back to those days.

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

Look, not my fault the Crane are plot-hogs.

[Shiba Haru]

*cough*Phoenix in 4 Winds*cough*

But seriously, I think we could be friends if you just give me a chance. Do you perhaps like music?
*pulls out koto*

[Kitsu Masaru]

Did someone say music? hmmm you already have Koto covered maybe my Biwa or a flute to accompany!

[Shiba Haru]

That would be lovely Kitsu-san.

Not every arc, Unicorn dominated multiple times. i was there the day the single season wins record was broken. Got wrecked my that Unicorn deck with my honor rocket. But it's Ok because the guy who was playing it turns out to be a TERRIBLE mini-golfer. I haven't laughed that hard since then, it was hysterical.

Even when the Crane were mechanical trash, they hogged the plot. It's why I absolutely hate them.

[Shiba Haru]

You hate me?

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

You hate me?

Kyuden Doji Delenda Est.

Crane hogged almost EVERY SINGLE B-plot.

"Oh, want a detective story? BETTER PUT A CRANE IN THERE."
"Doomed romance between a yojimbo and their charge, huh? Yeah, let's give that to the Crane."
"Oh, hey, you what we need, a story about a goddamn Crane playwright, haven't had that before!'

I got sicker of them than I did of the Lion, because the Lion, at least, had the decency to go away for a bit here and there!

Has a flute

Can kinda play it... but ends up swinging it
