Just a reminder - dice rolls are not allowed on D12 - so heists and information transfers must be finished on D11 latest - or they cannot happen.
Similarly you should post ALL your information gains (koku gains for ronin) on FIRST RL day of D12 - after which we do the tally. Gains posted after this won't be counted.

The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, the Fortunes still watch and judge us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the alleys of yesteryear. But it was never the alleys that were evil.

Re: GM announcements
Dearests,
As some of you may have seen on Discord, last evening and today were not the kindest days for me.
I didn't want to do this, but between a frustratingly strong headache, my SO hurting her neck/back yesterday (still having that looked into too...) and now coming down with sinusitis, me trying to phone post from the hospital and likely some 3/4 more hours of hospital ahead of us, I have talked to Tassu and Boogie and we'll be extending D11 for one more day so Kioku's fight and any other relevant things may be finished properly.
I'm real sorry about this and hope it doesn't cause much trouble to you all.
Hugs and thanks for being part of this game!

Re: GM announcements
As before and following all traditions. I'll post this again on D12 and make it an announcement so that everyone actually sees it.
Character Goals
Each character will be allowed to have one goal at the end of the game. Please post these in a thread in your Private Forum. You goal should be:
-something within the character's capabilities. Convincing your daimyo to go to war isn't really something most of you have the connections for, for example.
-something that can be accomplished within the next in-character year.
-if it involves other characters, they may need to agree with your goal and possibly use their goal for the same thing. Alliance, marriage or a trade agreement between two families would require both samurai involved to use their goals for the cause.
You can find some approved goals listed here to give you some idea what a goal might entail.
Epilogues
These are allowed, but by no means necessary. We just ask that you post them to your Private Forum first, for approval.

Re: GM announcements
You have 24 hours to post Information gains into your clan's Information tally (yeah, I know a lot of them says Influence, typos happened).
After that we will count the scores and announce the three winners.
Ronin should tally their cash - and note if they are swearing fealty or not.

Re: GM announcements
Day 12 will end on Monday 5 AM GMT (8 am here).
Votes for winning factions should come up latest on Sunday and will be open for 72 hours.
Only members of the factions get to vote so this ought to be fast and easy.
I will keep the IC forums open for another three days after that so people can wrap-up their scenes should they need the time.
You may post your Q&A Thread into dedicated post-game forum that will pop up sometime during Sunday.

Re: GM announcements
You have roughly 36 hours to get your goals approved. So if you want one and you haven't seen 'accepted' from one of us, please come up with one and make sounds.
