Incorrect PL / IR
According to my calculations, I have 81 PL and 5 Artifacts.
Also, I have 70 IR, instead of the 100 you said I'd get...
I prefer Janos.
And could you change "victus" into "victis"?

For those interested....
Gencon UK was won by a very lucky Goblin Horde deck. Crane came in second, Phoenix 3rd and Horse again at 4th.
Storyline decisions:
Crab: The winning Crab had a choice of totally recapturing the Great Wall at the cost of a hero's life, or recapturing the wall, but one tower is forever tainted. He chose to contain the taint in the one tower. This seems to have been a very unpopular choice among other Crab players, judging by their message board.
Crane: The Crane Champion Kurohito carries Chukandomo, a cursed blade. The winning Crane was allowed to chose either him setting the blade aside, or keeping it and taking the chance to cleanse the blade. He chose to keep the katana.
Dragon: The top dragon had the choice of either driving the Dark Oracle of Fire from the mountains of the Dragon and ignoring the Phoenix threat. Or allying with the Dark Oracle to attack the Phoenix. They chose to ally with the Dark Oracle.
Lion: The Lion have had their honor insulted by attacks from both their former allies, the Phoenix, and the monsterous Tsuno. The player was given the choice who will suffer the wrath of the Lion. He chose the Tsuno, the Phoenix will be ignored.
Mantis: The Celestrial Sword of the Mantis was lost when their previousn Champion Aramasu was killed by the Scorpion. The Mantis winner had the choice of either current Clan Champion Yoritomo Kitao or her rival and the true hair of Yoritomo, the Daughter of Storms, Yoritomo Kumiko regaining the sword. He chose Kumiko.
Phoenix: Phoenix Champion Aikune has a unique link to Isawa's Last Wish, an artifact of tremendous power. the winning Phoenix player was allowed to choose between Aikune pursuing wisdom or power. He chose power.
Rat: For the ratlings, it's been a bad year. They've discovered a new tribed called the Stained Paw, who was allying themselve with the Shadowlands Horde. The top ratling player had the choice of either attacking the Stained Paw or making peace with them and trying to win them back away from the Horde. He chose to attack.
Scorpion: The Scorpion face a new threat, a disloyal faction of their clan called the Shadowed Tower is using tainted means to gain their goals. the top Scorpion player had the choice of either the Master of the Shadowed tower finding information he could use to blackmail the Scorpion clan Champion Yojiro, or Yojiro finding out the identity of the Master of the Shadowed Tower. He chose Yojiro finding out who leads the Shadowed Tower.
Shadow: The Horde previously stole the Celestrial Jitte, a gift from the Fortune of Steel to the Empire. Efforts to taint it have met with mixed results. the top shadowlands player had the option of either giving the half tainted weapon back to the empire so it might ensnare the unwary, or letting one of the Lost heros carry it and risk it's heavenly power. He decided the Horde would keep the weapon and accept the risk.
Unicorn: A new general for the Unicorn will be chosen soon. the top player was allowed to choose between Moto Chaozhu, couragous but ruthless and bitter. And Shinjo Shono, couragous but leader of a dishonored house. He chose Shono.
Comment: The Dragon ally with the Dark Oracle and his terrible power to attack the Phoenix. The Phoenix choose power over wisdom. Can't you just see this trainwreck coming from miles away?
Also interesting Kitao is an evil, greedy Mantis Daimyo. Kumiko is good but Tainted. Interesting she's the top choice of Mantis players so decisively so far.

Ok, here is what everyone know's about Akuma no Oni's artifact brought with him from Jigoku:
It does not grant an enhancement bonus of any kind
It does create an area affect
It does require a great deal of time to "charge"
It is offensive
It is an exceptionally strange artifact from Jigoku
There might be reason for me to give an IC board introduction to the artifact if and when someone spots it, or it is used, but otherwise little is known about it's direct affect.

Alright, Janos, instead of changing your ratio from 1 feat every 10 years to 1 feat every 8 years, I worked out a mechanic that shines a little more to me.
You gain a bonus research feat every 40 years.

I've had to divvy out some conflicting information on epic spells. I had a little help last night re-evaluating how to deal with Mitigating Factors. Here is what I came up with.
These four Mitigating Factors I think are correct for the IR:
Backlash 1 PL of damage -2 to Epic DC
Burn 1 Character Level -5 to Epic DC
Increase Casting Time to 1 day -20 to Epic DC
Increase Casting Time 1 additional day -2 to Epic DC
Mitigating Factors are applied After Permanency or Recorded onto a Stone Tablet.
I'll update the Epic Spells post with this info shortly.

I tried to update the lists again.
And Janos, as far as having IR goes, your IR is lower since your cap is lower. Your at 70 PL, which is lower than everyone I think, save Sollir possibly. And I think since Sollir has been in the game for a long time, and rolled relatively well, he's passed you up. Also, remember that you started with a lower PL cap because you have a relatively good degree of cover due to your off-map location.
Now, it might be possible to persuade me to believe your PL cap shouldn't be lowered, but it kind of depends on your plans. If your plans are to sit back and absorb all your safety for the first turn or so, you will likely catch up quickly (like Kaboom last IR).
