Scenario 1: You are a samurai under the service of a daimyo.

One day, you overhear a plot

among your fellow samurai to overthrow the daimyo due to his cruelty. They ask you to join
them. This puts you in a moral dilemma because on one hand, the daimyo is indeed cruel, and
on the other hand, you have sworn loyalty to him. What would you do?

Scenario 2: As a daimyo, you are facing a period of famine. The emperor demands the usual tax
paid in rice, but you know that if you pay it this time, your people will starve. If you don't, you
will be defying the emperor, which could lead to war. How do you handle this situation?

Scenario 3: As the emperor, you learn that some of your daimyo are growing more powerful
and could potentially pose a threat to your rule. However, these daimyo also protect your lands
and contribute significantly to your economy. How would you ensure your power remains
unchallenged?

Scenario 4: You are a commoner living in a province governed by a fair daimyo. However, a
new, more powerful and ruthless daimyo takes over and begins implementing harsh rules and
heavy taxes. As a commoner, you have limited power, but you also know that if things continue
this way, life would become unbearable. How could you make your concerns heard or improve
your situation?

Scenario 5: You are a samurai serving a daimyo who has been falsely accused of treason by a
rival daimyo. Your daimyo could face severe punishment or even death if convicted. However,
you've discovered evidence that could prove his innocence. The problem is, sharing this
evidence could lead to a dangerous conflict with the accusing daimyo. What would you do?

Scenario 6: You are a daimyo with a loyal group of samurai. Lately, you've noticed that another
daimyo has been trying to tempt your samurai to switch allegiances, offering them better
rewards. If you lose your samurai, your power could be significantly weakened. How would you
handle this situation?

Scenario 7: As the emperor, you discover that there's a plot to overthrow you orchestrated by
several powerful daimyo. You have loyal daimyo and samurai, but you're unsure if they are
enough to defeat the rebellion. How do you plan to suppress the rebellion and secure your
position?

Scenario 8: You're a commoner who has found a large gold deposit on your small piece of land.
While this could change your life, you also know that if your daimyo finds out, he could claim
the gold for himself and leave you with nothing. What actions would you take?

Scenario 9: You are a ronin approached by a group of oppressed commoners. They've gathered
some money and ask you to protect them from bandits. The money they offer is very little,
hardly enough for your own sustenance. But if you decline, these people will continue to suffer.
What do you decide?

Scenario 10: You are the shogun, and a severe drought has led to a terrible famine throughout
the land. You have enough stores to feed your own soldiers and samurai but not enough to feed
all the commoners. Do you distribute the food to the commoners, which would mean less for
your troops, or keep it for your soldiers to maintain your military strength?
