srsly, I did not mean any offense, I love cats, and I think a whole clan of cats is a very interesting idea. gives a interesting spin on diversity in our shogunate. (btw, from your avatar pic, ARCHERS REPRESENT! :: throws up recurve bow symbol:

Vassels will join the families in which they show the most interest. reduced hakama? superior katanas? speaking in japanese? ....sushi? but srsly, being local will make the family bond even stronger, so you should pick a local daimyo. Sanjuro

Sushi = tasty Sub-par sushi = food poisoning
I have experience in this matter...
And yes, Storm. As far as I know, you can join whichever Daimyo family you wish. Am I correct, Lord Masamune?

Also, I wish to hold the tournament on Nov. 3, at the Crown Wars. I wish for all members of the Shogunate to appear and cheer on your respective Daiymo...if you have anyone to cheer for you that is. The tournament will be single blue (katana only equivalent) as it is the only honorable way to fight in such a contest as this.

I know that last one means, "Sorry."
I'm not familiar with the other words, however.

its a more formal way of saying "i'm sorry", the literal word for word breakdown of it is " there is no explainable reason (for my error)" the japanese LOVE to compact a lot of meaning into one litte word or verb.

We do too, to a degree.
Example: "You cannot help me with my problem? That's alright." = "F*ck you!"

Sanjuro, i would be interested in two wakizashi's ( short swords ^.^ ) and a katana. (hopefully i'll never have to commit seppuku with the wakizashi )

I think you commit seppuku (ritual suicide) with the tanto blade of a Daicho set (three swords, katana, wakizashi, tanto) katana for the killing of your enemies, wakizashi for backup sword and doing random tasks (cutting down brush in your way, etc.)
Side note: there is nothing funnier than seeing a samurai plow through a shield line with a giant sledgehammer. Its been done. >^_^< and could be done again.

yes, samurai commited seppuku with a tanto. now it was used as a back up weapon like i was reading up on samurai and i saw in a picture one samurai grab another one's head and stab him with the tanto. and sanjuro-san, i maybe wrong here but i just have to ask. when you say samurai with a hammer smash through the line, do you mean Yoshihiro Shimazu? cause thats what he uses in samurai warriors 2

It was more or less used as a dagger or knife more than anything else.

i know you use the tanto for the first part, cutting your belly open but i thought you used the wakizashi to slit your throat. i may be wronge though

oh, the hammer smash thing....., storm, its just an aethenu-inside joke, I build a red-type 5 foot sledge hammer made of complete open cell and used a wooden broomhandle as the core, its becoming really popular with my fightin' buddies. everyone laughs at me cause I try to use it.....such a strange sight to see a samurai with a HUGE sledgehammer.

Well, it seems that I may not be able to attend either. Due to the emergency the company I work for is dealing with at the present time, I am now on manditory 8 hour Saturdays. So, I shall cancel the tournament, if only for a few weeks.

Dream it, and I can create it...... ....... .......within Dagorhir (and sometime Belegarth) rules, of course. Sanjuro PS: long red hammers cost around $30, short blue hammers cost $15, and special modifications can be made (e.g. stabby tips, color cloth, shapes, sizes, just give me the specs of what your dream is.)
