Castle story tournament. If you want to participate, your
store needs to be a Stronghold and register with FRPG. For
either of these, contact FRPG.

Anti Seeding Petition
Dragon*Con '98 winner Eric Wiener is circulating a petition
against the automatic placing of high tournament point
tallying players into the finals of major tournaments. If
you wish to participate, read the
petition.
The issue stems from recent changes made to the L5R tournament
system, as stated by L5R Brand Manager Luke Peterschmidt in a recent announcement to
l5rinfo. The particular point in contention is point
number two:
2) Worlds Championships - For the first time, the Gen Con tourney will be a
true World Championship. We will "seed" players with the highest "other
points" total as well as the highest lifetime points players of each clan.
In addition, country champions from there countries "nationals" will also
get seeded (the first year will probably only have 2-4 of these while we
gear up the system). Players who show up to Gen Con will also be able to
play in the Worlds - the seeded players will get buys into later rounds (32
or 64 or something).
Many people, myself included, feel that the automatic
placement of these players directly into the finals
discriminates against those players who do not have an active
sanctioned tournament "scene" in their area, and lessens the
chances for advancement to other players at major cons, many
of whom have spent a lot of money and made a lot of effort to
represent their clan at a major storyline affecting event.

Corrupt Morikage Decks
Puck also got a peek at
the Stronghold store info for the Storming of Morikage Castle.
According to him, a deck will be considered Corrupt if it

Lion decks ready!! We will show Toturi what it means to slay
the Son of Heaven. ;)

HE7-9 Name Correction
Yesterday, I referred to HE7-9 as "Storms of War," a working

conclusion to Hidden Emperor.

The Storming of Morikage Castle
The worldwide story tournament in January will be the Storming of
Morikage Castle. According to FRPG's new website, "The
results of the tournament will be pooled together to determine
who saves the Emperor (who is being held in the abandoned
forest castle of Morikage.)"
Note that the tournaments will be held only at Stronghold stores.
If you do not have a Stronghold store nearby, start working now
to get one by January 15th!
Also note that Storms of War (HE episodes 7-9) will not be
released until February, which means we know pretty much all
the cards available for this tournament. Get to work on your
Corrupt Lion decks now! ;)
