Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Kusari

[Friday]

There are two people mentioned buy name in the Kusari lore outline as written by Igiss, as founding the Democratic Party of Kusari:

Kato Takahashi and Shimura Yokitara.

No rank or position was given to these people, so when it came time to write the news items I basically flipped a coin for PM.

KNF want to use Mr Takahasi as a government rep - as the surname is identical to a KNF HC character (family members following the same profession is common in Kusari).

This means that Kishiro are using Mr Shimura Yokitara as their named rep. It is no problem to alter the news items to use Mr Yokitara's name instead.

As for people not being unhappy with the new system - there should be PLENTY!

Samura and the AFA in particular have every reason to be outraged at what has happened. Thousands of years of tradition - extending all the way back into ancient Japan - has been torn down by this cowardly new government.

KNF generals afraid to die with honour waited until the Great Emperor was out of the country to stage a coup, and the disgraceful Kishiro was only too willing to sleaze its way into power. No doubt they used a slick marketing campaign to extoll the virtues of a Republic, whilst denigrating Kusari's grand heritage.

To the Kusari Conservative, this once great nation must be looking more and more like gaijin Liberty every day!

I say to the community this:

You want to get angry in Kusari? Join the AFA and go NUTS! Kill every bastard KNF, Kishiro and gaijin you see - they deserve it!

You want to be Samura and support the Ronin - do it! Your Emperor needs you, your nation needs your Emperor!

You want to be Hogosha? It is time to adapt, like the Yakuza have done for centuries. You need to be making deals with other House pirates, so you can pirate further away from home (where you are not allowed to anymore).

Dragons and GC? The new government refuses to negotiate with terrorists unless they renounce violence. In military terms, Kusari is weaker than it has ever been in its history, there is no better time to mount a full-scale offensive!

Kusari lawfuls? Expect the scourge of piracy to be returning to Kusari. As pirate activity increases, lawfuls will start coming out of the woodwork.

With the new mineable commodities in Kusari and the surrounding regions, there is more than ever to do in this House. People just need to stop whining, get off their butts and go play!
