Free action negotiations? These are negotiations I am aware of;<br/><br/>Yunar Exiles = Yamashita by her own action started them and got kidnapped.<br/>Krai Folk = Send Emiko/Denka do negotiations with them about ritual (were not RP'ed out)<br/>Krai Folk = Peace treaty negotiated by Yamashita during first year<br/>Aka Ka = During first year (first action) Takeda negotiated them, peace treaty and delivery of iron<br/>Bandits = Did not take action but was solved in PM discussion between player, GM and I (as means solve the overall mess the situation was the blood river valley incident), overall details were negotiated in return giving Yamashita back I let bandits alone and rest details more and less explains why Gunba has the territory and why bandits still are there and what they are doing. So overall negotiations were more and less 'battle resolution' result than negotiation action itself.<br/>Krai Folk = The present scene where Takeda is meeting Krai Folk ritualist is by GM call that 'any transfer between clans take a action' and so Krai Folk player is moving off from Krai Folks to Gunba clan (and thus no action needed from Takeda but from other player's part). Transfer is temporal in nature and means to let player to spend growth point in war academy.<br/><br/>If there are other negotiations going on which need explained then please mention them so I can tell details about them. But overall what may appear 'free action' negotiations may be because result of PM discussion between players or GM or resolution from other actions (which creates the steaming plot of intrigue going on between clans but can lead bit confusion in game itself). I example learned one my trusted people had been via PM's told not to trust me at all and instead turn upon me :P.
