Of course! That's a base minimum for a lot of accommodations.

Meditation and tea ceremony
Character may spend a time slot to meditate and or take part to tea ceremony - however for the sake of clarity this should take majority of the time slot. It should be noted that character cannot meditate of perform tea ceremony during an event slot.

The Clan with the most Bid Points will secure a lucrative merchant contract on the Tango Province Islands. They will be given priority on merchant licenses on all the islands, the lowest legal taxes, and become a key partner in future projects to further development on all islands of the archipelago. Most importantly, with this secure standing, they will have the possibility to expand further in the Green Carp and be given a notable dock on the Skycarp so that they can be given a priority on shipping and trade. This contract is approximately 3 Large Unique Holding and 10 Medium Unique Holding Gentries.

The Clan with the second most Bid Points will have a say in the planning and development of the Tango Provinces. They will also be allowed to lease property and land to host businesses on the Tango Province islands. This comes with lower taxes and a second priority on leases not claimed by either Crab Clan or their key partner. Most of these contracts will be outside of the Lower City of Nakahama City, Mount Nakahama, Namigashira Bay and Azuma Beach. This contract is worth approximately 1 Large Unique Holding and 5 Medium Unique Holding Gentries.

Finally, any Clan or party may use 30 Bid Points for one lease on Shiawase Island. This will allow either an existing Gentry business/unique holding to open up a branch on the island and expand their operations as a chain or open a new business opportunity in hopes of taking part in the Tango Province's future economic prosperity. For reference, this will be equivalent to 12-point Gentry Unique Holding, if the Clan member or party in question does not own a Gentry themselves. If they already own a Gentry Unique Holding, they will be upgraded to an 18-point Gentry Unique Holding instead.

Make two rolls, one at TN 20 and one at TN 25 using your choice of skill and trait. However, if you use a skill you have previously used for a roll in this event increase your base TN by 10. Don't be boring!
This counts as a contested social roll for the purpose of techniques and advantages.
The following advantages provide a free raise on this roll, this is cumulative if you possess multiple: Blackmail (only one, regardless of how much blackmail you've collected, you monster), Clear Thinker, Darling of the Court, Fame (still only one regardless of how much fame), Imperial Spouse, Paragon: Compassion/Duty/Sincerity, Read Lips, Voice
The following disadvantages increase the TN of this roll by 5 (cumulative): Antisocial, Bad eyesight, Bad fortune (any), Black Sheep, Blackmailed, Can't Lie, Cursed by the Realm (any), Doubt, Failure of Bushido: Compassion/Duty/Sincerity, Insensitive, Overconfident.
Success on each of these rolls and every successful raise on each of these rolls will provide one party point, failure on each roll will reduce your party points by 1 (cumulative).

Kitsuki Ichitaiyo wrote: Wed Nov 12, 2025 1:39 pm
If the ruling is that it affects the second roll, in spirit of It Fucking Sucks to Lose To A Rules Misread, I think Kiyoshi should be able to reroll it freely anything he wants, given that being hit with the extra TN clearly was not intended.

And figure a tiebreaker in case, because we both didn't use our Free Raises on the first step, so that can't be the decider lolol

Is it legal to use alien fauna/flora for such purposes in the Empire? Asking before Kanna says something illegal.

Also, I think it should be one more Glory on my sheet (+1.0 from ranking up, +1.0 from Day 3's Bid event).
