Legend of the Five Rings

I played Legend of the Five Rings tonight in an interesting scenario by Michael H that put together war, arranged marriages, and courtly maneuvering. There were five pregenerated PCs with name, stats, and the same basic setup: all were honorable unmarried women of the Crane clan friendly with each other. The hook was that we all had marriages

Were the bethrothed in the same order as the PCs?

I agree with you on failure; this is basically a descriptive issue. For instance, a Poetry failure could be a beautiful poem that unknowningly brings in a story element offensive or upsetting to the target; the character has failed at their goals, not randomly failed at poetry (for Scorpion/Crane, that sounds pretty easy to do).
