All in Jest

All in Jest was a Rank 1 water shūji which taught veteran courtiers often played off missteps as a joke. This underhanded but effective tactic put the other person in a difficult position, press the issue and seem stubborn, or let it slide. The wise knew to listen especially closely to anything a courtier said in jest, for in it, one could often read their true desires. Legend of the Five Rings - Roleplaying, p. 220
