Poll: The Fate of the Tribal Remnants

Post Reply

Whose advice will Shiba follow in dealing with the tribal remnants?

Poll ended at Tue Jun 23, 2020 11:04 pm

Shinjo suggests that they take a route much the same as they did in the first five years after they landed in Ningen-do, this time able to show the amount that they’ve been able to help people. They also have things in the Kami-ruled areas that the tribes simply don’t have access to. She wants them to convince people to join rather than force them, but if they refuse, the last remnants need to be exiled from the Empire to the north.

Bayushi suggests a more sneaky route – eliminate some of the leaders of the tribes secretly, leaving the tribes disorganized and needing leadership, which they can then find under the Kami. He also suggests that many of the tribes are very superstitious, and arranging things to look like the spirits are punishing them for their reluctance will drive most of them into the Clans.

Akodo proposes a simple approach – convert or kill. His highly organized armies will destroy the tribes that resist with little effort, and simple survival will drive the others to join the Kami.

Togashi believes that the best tactic is non-interference, stating that the tribes will follow their proper paths whether they interfere or not, and the Empire will eventually fully envelop the land it calls home.

29%
Doji thinks a more genteel approach is best. She believes that they should start trading with them and enable them to grow more food. Eventually, they Clans will grow and as the diplomatic ties become stronger, they can simply absorb the villages and tribes into different Clans peacefully, since they’re already essentially working for the Kami anyway.

Shinjo recognized during her travels that, as much as she was inclined to compassion and letting people make their own decisions, having people strongly opposing the very existence of the Empire and rule of the Kami within its borders is an invitation to potential war and suffering. She also believes that incorporating more of the tribes ideas into the Clans could be helpful to the burgeoning country. Shiba acknowledges her words and the potential threat and looks to his siblings for suggestions about what to do.

This poll will run for three days.

Makes sure someone works the fields, and gets well protected and cared for by their lords, eh? All as it should be.

The Doji/Nanzi plan is effective.

If Nanzi had talked less like he favored Akodo's plan, he might have found that Sora... agrees with Doji. :lol:

Well, Sora's view is more Togashi/Doji hybrid, but... yeah. The tribes cannot go on as they are, no matter how nice the Empire tries to play. Phi's view on the Hikaru is a perfect example: The remnants who held out from joining Koyama and going into the Ki-Rin? They really have no future if they go on as they are.

Sora's player voted Togashi, on the other hand, because I like having these weird little tribes still popping up in the young empire- plus, when the war comes, and some of them fall to corruption and have to be stomped on...

I voted Akodo.

Which Ryoko would hate, but I, as a player, would find fascinating to see the fallout.

I can appreciate that. I've occasionally voted for results my character and even I as a player would personally hate, not because I want them to happen, but because I consider the story itself and its fallout to be more interesting.

Not today, mind you. But I can definitely appreciate the sentiment.

Well Jin goes against Shinjo on this one. Doji's plan fits his views the best - show them benevolence and eventually they'll come around (ok, he's more optimistic than she is about the long term meaning of it)
