The Bat goal is likely unreachable, but it could potentially be combined with another. We just want to build something.

Hence why I said Makime goal and not Lion goal :)

It's neat and GEnji likes it.

The Imp goal is an institutional piece of legislation, not a structure, soooo... it mates poorly with a lot of what the rest of you seem to be up to :lol:

The sad thing is the influence system probably would have worked if we were greedy/assholes. The players are the ones who decided 'avoid competing events' even though it only took five attendees, counting the host, to be worth influence. Mind you, I'm glad I didn't have to often decide between events but I suspect it was expected we would have more influence floating around than we did.

There is actually a note saying on the Event Rules to avoid doing that very thing.

Except I think that flooding the game with Events would've backfired and people would've been fatigued on them much sooner, causing more Events to fail to meet the 5 person criteria.

That was at the same at the same time. So, having an event in the Garden and in the Dining Hall was cool. Two in the Garden was not.

Ah, so it does say that. Kinda figured that was counted in general location posting etiquette but I've missed many memo's :oops:

I still agree getting more events happening at the same time would have made for event fatigue much earlier. And there was quite a bit of that, I think?

May be wrong though.

Btw - I had miscalculated, "Rockstar" ( :? ) Kotsu is sitting at 9 Influence. Would have 11 if I hadn't given out Influence in events she was in - although I'm glad we decided to do that in the events I was in! ;)

But yeah... waaay far from Kirin goal. Might do it with... lots of help? lol

When Day 8 finishes and we get to see end-game stuff come up, I imagine we'll see people start threads to ask for Influence for their goals (clan and otherwise). I feel pretty sure I will do it at least.

I'm curious to see if Goal Points from Dawn 2 will return again, because I know myself and others aimed for some goals back then with the thought that the system would be used again in the future.

Stag goal is very straightforward and honorable: peace.

Anyone willing to donate extra points to make peace between Stag and Crab will be remembered by the Stag as brothers and sisters in arms.

Just because of how this game turned out, I may lower Influence costs. Don't set out expenditures until I get everything sorted out tomorrow.

Now that there shouldn't be any issue with achieving our faction goal, the Imperial Families have a few points left. We have ideas of our own about what to use them on, but if some of the factions that have been best friends with us this court have plans that would require a complementary input, you can try knocking that door.

Roads will need some influence. I intend to commit part of my influence to it but I know others were interested as well.
