Hogosha ID

[Markus_Janus]

Indeed, if Samura want something done by the Hogosha, we approach them as one corporation to the other.
They may work for Samura on individual contracts but are not permantly on Samura's books.

Perfect example would be to ask them to attack Kishiro shipping.
For the Farmers Alliance this is easy, we throw some cash around, remind them of how Kishiro let the Gaijin in and before you know it, dead Kishiro.
Try this with the Hogosha and you may as well be talking to a brick wall.
They will not attack Kusari shipping for us as the fallout is not something they wish to deal with.
We can ask them to attack foreign shipping for us, but so can Kishiro.

So yes Samura does have a close relationship with the Hogosha, but so does Kishiro.
Maybe not as much as Samura does, but not that much less either.
And I do not believe enough to make a difference on their ID.
