I thought it was pretty cool and brave to avoid an actual war by having a person who gets super bonus to dueling to just duel the non-duelist lion instead of even fighting, and forcing them all to go home instead b/c my family is rich.

Are the Crane not amazing?

The Crane are necessary for Rokugan to continue to exist, just as the Unicorn are. If it wasn't for those two clans, we would have nobody to make war against except the Scorpion, and that would just be dull.

Oh come on, a mountain war against the Dragon and Phoenix, some maritime combat with the Mantis, a macho throwdown with the Crab... come on. T

Of course.
If you could talk to your dog, would you really want to? Would it really have anything to say?

The Phoenix can't afford to have class or dignity; they're too afraid these things would upset some cosmic balance. So they stick with familiar things like having yojimbo which are weaker than Crane musicians, having the political savvy of Little Red Riding Hood, and playing with matches, squirt guns, mud pies, and pretending to be the wind. Interacting with the void is just an excuse to get in a good nap. Or so I've heard it told.

You're clearly not a dog owner if you think people don't talk to their dogs...

Don't the Mantis eat dogs?
Talk to, in this instance means carry a conversation.

I know. Dogs can't understand what we're saying, can't give a helpful response, and are quite likely to hear a word that gets them excited so that they start running around yipping and being generally annoying. The conversations I've had with them have nevertheless been far more enjoyable and more productive than many conversations I've had with human beings.

I don't think they eat dogs.
It wouldn't surprise if they ate each other however.

Sorry, so during the last Gencon of the CCG the side events and the main event revolved around the fact that in story the Black Scrolls were remanifesting in rokugan and the clans were fighting over who got what scroll.
The prize for the main event was the 13th scroll which had the power to strip the power from a being, like it was used to contain the demon lord Kyoso no Oni long ago. The winner of the event could choose which character got it and if they kept it or used it, and if used... on who.
So at Gencon there was a bounty placed for over $1000 for someone to use the scroll on Yoritomo, sapping his divinity away with its power. The winner of the event was a Mantis player who, if I'm recalling right, had car troubles on his trip there and needed to pay to repair their car. So they won the event, chose their favorite mantis and chose for him to turn the scroll on Yoritomo.
It was a rare moment when everyone was shocked, but also totally got it, because a Mantis selling out his God for money is something everyone can kinda see happening.
So yeah, the last major story prize was Mantis punking yoritomo. Playmats were made, fanart was drawn, hilarity ensured.

As one of Issac's friends and a fellow Mantis, I take exception to this. (see below)

His car broke down on the way there. At the time, he lived in New Mexico.
No one in the Mantis community who knows what happened blames him for his choice. Nor would we ask him and everyone who rode with him to walk 1200 miles home.
See what I get for not paying attention to tourney results?
I wonder who put up the bounty?

There, there. Someday you might be allowed to die and reincarnate into a clan that actually contributes value into the wider world. You'll be fine.
