why do people keep forgetting about Leung over in China...?

Because he's a cheap Hong Kong knock-off? 

Yes yes, I know, "The Special Hell".

You're dangerous with a phone. Remember what you did when you were alone with a phone in Prague? Remember how many people died?

Vaguely, I was on a lot of drugs at the time.

"Lung", you mean?  We don't forget about him, we just dismiss him because he and Ryumyo would take each other out.

Honestly, I'd bet on only ... two Great Dragons surviving:

• Masaru, because he hasn't really built any enemies, and is young enough to not have any total opponents;
• and Arleesh, because it's getting to the point where she frankly doesn't give two $|-|!ts about anything but her self-appointed task.

I thought Masaru fragged Ryumyo off because he helped kick the Japanese out of the Phillipanes.  Which means Ryumyo has two great dragon enemies (that we know off).  I also thought, once upon a time in another age, Lung was the senior mentor for Ryumyo...  I think its likely that Ryumyo would get his ticket punched in that scenario...

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

Ryumyo and Lung would kill each other off; their hate for each other leaves very little room for a nervous young accountant like Masaru.  Yes, Masaru's Huk kicked the Japanese out of the Philippines, but the Emperor did a big chunk of that first.

my sympathies are with Aden...althought his sympathies are with no man...
And also...the feathered lady...there is strange silence around Cape Town this days, so idn if Mujaji is still living her personal garden dream as she always was...having some minor skirmishes with Lofwyrs agents...or if she is more interrested in what is going on in the world...

[ArkangelWinter]

As much as I like Aden and his stance against anti-Awakened groups, his militance would get him geeked quick.

[Sichr]

I dont think so. His display of power was even more amazing than Ghostwalkers...putting whole Tehran into dust to make a statement...it is maybe more close to Sirrug and his group...

[Patrick Goodman]

That's an interesting picture to me...Aden as one of the "good guys."

[ArkangelWinter]

Well, if there really are any "good guys", nothing Adens done precludes him from being one. Nothing he's done includes him in that group either. He knows what pisses off his delicate sensibilities and torches it. I'm not sure what his recent activities are, but he's not a "villain".

[Sichr]

There is so terribly little known on his agenda, that he may seem almost as asome kind of neutral power, radicaly conservative, territorial godlike power dwelling on Ararat...and his first action was on behalf of awakened...
"You want to fight, so look what you will face" message to new jihadists...well it seems that young races have little to none significance in the streams of time...

[Wakshaani]

Lung has taken Masaru under his wing, as he did with Ryumyo long ago, remember ... Masaru is the New Apprentice, not as talented as the old one, but far more moldable. Masaru's also the one who woke up as a lesser dragon, then upgraded himself in the 6th world and is, thus, the newest Great Dragon.

Ryumyo was working on upgrading himself into something greater than a Great Dragon, but the Comet blew that up in his face. Who knows how far it set him back?

Aden remains a wild card, but one who was present at the DC Rift when it blew up, so probably has some sort of understanding with Ghostwalker.

Lofwyr, obvious.

Ditto the Orange Queen.

Arleesh is doing her thing.

...

There're a lot of dragons. (For some reason, I want to say that, back in first edition, there was a not ethat there were only twelve Great Dragons, as if the number has a mystic importance and that's all that there COULD be ... one had to die for a new one to rise up. But I have no idea *why* I think this.)

Oh, thank you Patrick, I needed a laugh like that!

Good guys, in Shadowrun, that's rich!!!
