Rainy Days are here again - Another L5R 4e Campaign?

No mine, just fishing? That actually sounds kinda fun~

Why are we looking for more suggestions? This seems like the point to start narrowing them down. sweatdrop  

[Plainsfox]

I like the thought of having a kind of clash between mining and fishing. EG Their charter is to fish (and manage fishing of) delicacies for the imperials, but the mine brings in as many resources.

Does the Clan choose to focus on its imperial mandate or pursue other things at the expense of their obligations? Just a thought.

Akkorokamui. A Japanese sea monster of legend that resembles an octopus. Basically it is the Kraken.

You can still have the mine. Ultimately, the reason why you were given this island over a Great Clan is the question to be answered. Why are you there, as far as the Imperials are concerned?

The non-jade mine is a good idea though, to cover your own clan's operating expenses. I don't think the Emperor or anyone else will care about gemstones that offer nothing except being pretty. So that would be all you, if that's something you guys would want.

Anywho, unless someone comes up with something that everyone falls in love with, we need to work at narrowing this down.

[Raganui Minamoto]

I'm going to go with the Fugu Fishing as duty (with a mine operation to just keep the clan floating), as for name... Akkorokamui Clan  

[Paidi tou Selini]

Yes, delicacy fishing mandate, with happenstancial mine~

The Kraken clan, huh? We are going to get utterly obliterated for our hubris, but sure why not. xd

Kraken seems a bit big for a minor clan. Right now, Octopus has my vote, cause reasons. >< Seahorse is fine, too.

But just imagine it. The Dragon clan is at war, they roll up with a bit box on a cart and yell "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!" Then we pour out with pufferfish poison infused weapons!

We're just simple fisherpeople.We fish and mine and run places where fishers and miners can enjoy themselves!

On a more serious note: Poison is major bad mojo. If you're caught using it, you may be asked to clean your house's honor. You may be executed.

As far as the Dragon goes, it's unknown how deep the ties may be with them. They have supported the Dragonfly Clan, but that's because the Dragonflies fulfill a role important to them.  

[Rain Yupa]

Well, right now it's 2 Kraken, 1 Seahorse, and 1 Octopus. I'm using the 'translated' Kraken, because all the other clans use the Clan Name of something translated in English.

So unless someone wants to change their vote, it looks like you guys will be the Kraken Clan, for good or for ill! I'll check back tomorrow smile  

[Plainsfox]

Kraken is fine with me.  

[PupSage]

Lets get kraken on the next step ... get it? Get it?

Just a thought, or note....we may end up borrowing a little from the Mantis due to their experience with fishing traditions. EG The Mantis do not use any weapon they can afford to lose aboard a ship and leave them on land.
