[dragon] Ft. Collins, CO Morikage.

[Scott M Parrish]

While not able to claim a victory I do have generally good news about
the Morikage event at Marshak's House of Fantasy.

There were only 2 Dragon participants here.  Myself, playing the Tatooed
Smack in the Head deck which took me to the finals of Gen Con.  This is
of course pure as snow, relying on speed and the deceptive nature of the
Hitom Zumi along with a smattering of Togashi, Agasha and Mirumoto to
gain quick and decisive military victories.  It utilizes the Kyunden
Hitomi stronghold.

The second had heard of our movement only days before the tourney.  It
was run by Jeremy Gray, and was an honor runner using the Mountain
keeps.  we both had records of 3-2 out of 24 participants and finished
sixth and seventh.  We sisn't play each other during the swiis portion,
but as neither of us had made the finals, and the Jade backed stronghold
card was a Dragon Stronghold, we decided to go head to head for it.  

The game was a lot of fun, and invloved me keeping his honor down around
0 for the first 1/2 of the game, but after hte first province kill (when
he had gained 1 for Crys festival, and another when he had 3 yoshi's to
my 1 and won the Test of the Emeralrd Champion.  Adter that it settled
into a stalemate.  I was too bone-headed to remeber that he had already
brought out the Ring of Earth and I was waiting for him to attack
(Kisada's Funeral).  He won, and took the Stronghold.

I also wore my Hitomi Fan Club name tag, and gave several speeches about
the Honorable Dragon movement.  I gave out it's address to 4 people, and
hopefully have added to the rolls of the movement.  Even the naga player
there had to admit our movement was bad news for the scaly ones, as it
appears that the naga are the one in the wrong in their pogrom against
us.

The tournament was dominated by Crane(7) and Unicorn(6)  the finals were
3 crane and a Unicorn, and the day was one by a Crane who used poisoned
weapons to defeat his opponents.
