    NEW SHINOBI MARKETPLACE UPDATE!

    Yes! We are continuing our efforts to improve and update the site. With this first one will be a big change to the Shinobi Marketplace. Yes, again. Unlike the last one, this version is actually a new version and not just a change in how the shop is represented -- but the shop, itself, is brand new. You can access it HERE.

    Due to the change in Shinobi Marketplace, a lot of items have been removed.
    You are entitled to a refund on the following items: (with proof of purchase in your Updates)
    • Iwagakure's Exploding Sphere
    • Medikit
    • Soothing Cream
    • Grain Alcohol
    • Bandage Wrap
    • Konoha's Three-Colored Pills
    • Cement Mixer Appliance
    • Black Market Improvised Explosive
    • Black Market Cocaine
    • Black Market Sleeping Syrup

    The following have been changed or had their names changed in some way:
    • Numbing Poison to Cold Touch
    • Cheap Beer, Cheap Wine, Cheap Liquor to Cheap/Mid/Good Sake for lore accuracy
    • Cannabis to Marijuana
    • Ciggies to Cigarettes


    Crafting Items
    Crafting Items have been changed completely. Now, in order to purchase a crafting material, it will be up to you to decide what rank of crafting material you want to buy and up to you to decide what that material is when you create a craft. Any existing Crafting Items you still have in your inventory will now take on the properties of that Rank of Hardness item. So if you have Silver (C++ Hardness), it is now simply a C Rank Crafting Item. To compensate for this, a new crafting station has been added called "Smith's Hammer" which will allow the user to get up to (++) hardness.

    Engineering Parts such as Copper Wire, Aluminum Pressurized Canister, and Transducers are no longer available. They are now just considered Crafting Materials now. Copper Wire and Aluminum Pressurized Canisters are now considered C Rank Crafting Materials and a Transducer is now considered a B Rank Crafting Material.

    Cement Mixer has been removed and can be refunded as it's kinda unnecessary now as Engineering buildings now uses similar principles, with crafting materials that actual crafting has.

    Weapons and Armor
    Completely changed. Do not have long lists of weapons and armor. Changed to being apped items so people can make their own weapons and make their own armor. All Shop items are still C Rank. All currently existing weapons and armor will stay that way and cannot be refunded.

    New Service added called Reforge to allow players to upgrade their C Rank Shop Weapon/Armor to B Rank and will be allowed to have 1 Enchantment slot.

    Increases Shop Prices
    Let's face it, Ryo is kinda pointless on the site. We are working on more methods of increasing things to spend Ryo on (which may come in future patches) so keep an eye out on that. Everything has had their prices increased especially crafting materials.

    Staff Additions
    Staff reserves the rights to add items to the Shinobi Shop or alter items in the Shinobi Shop at a whim. Doing so will have an accompanied announcement of the change. If there is a specific item you wish to see added to the shop, let us know and we'll review it. If we like it, we'll add it in.

    New Secret Shop
    The new secret shop will be added before the end of the next Activity Check. There will be changes to the format and items provided.

    Wave 1 of Rules Rewritten
    Keep in mind, this isn't changing the rules, just a rewriting and a change of the way the rules are represented. This is all, in the effort, of making the site more user-friendly, and especially new-user friendly.

    List of Changes
    • Shinobi Salary
    • Experience and Class Rules (now 2 different topics)
    • Buffing and Debuffing Rules
    • Character Stats Rules
    • Character Resets Rules
    • Jutsu/Tech Training Information

    Specific Rule Changes
    The current rules for debuffing stamina has been seen as kind of annoying to calculate
    Current
    Special Note: Stamina receives Debuffs as normal: by reducing Tiers. This will reduce your currently available and overall Stamina point totals by the difference of those Tiers. When the Debuff is removed, your overall point total will return to normal, but your currently available total will be the same percentage you had when the Debuff was active.

    For example, let's say you have B-Tier Stamina. That's 120 points. Then you take a one tier debuff to Stamina, reducing you to C-Tier, which is 80 points. Now let's say your currently available total before you got the debuff was 110 points, because you used a technique. So with the debuff, you now have 70 points (110 - 40, and 40 is the difference of 120 - 80). If you use no techniques while you have the debuff, you'll go back to 110 points when it ends, but let's say you spend 10 of those points on a jutsu. Now you have 60 points. So, when the debuff goes away, you'll need to calculate your percentage with the debuff: 60/80 = 75%. So when the debuff is gone, you'll still be at 75%, which means you need to calculate 75% of 120: 120*0.75 = 90. So now that your debuff is gone, you have 90 points left.
    New
    Stamina Debuffs
    Stamina may receive debuffs as usual by reducing tiers. This will reduce your currently available and overall Chakra Points by the difference of those tiers (check Stat Rules for more details). When the debuff to your Stamina is removed, your overall point total will return to normal.
    Example
    Let's say you have B-Tier Stamina (185 CP), then you take a -1 Tier debuff to your Stamina, dropping you to C-Tier Stamina (110 CP) = A difference of 75 CP. Let's say our current available CP before you got the debuff was 165 CP because you used an A Rank technique. So with this debuff, you will lose 75 (due to the difference from B-Tier and C-Tier). You will also lose 75 from your current CP dropping you from 165-75 = 90 CP. Once the debuff is over, you will regain this CP back.
    If you ever reach below 30 CP, even via Stamina Debuff, you will reach Exhaustion. If you ever reach 0 CP, even via Stamina Debuff, you will be considered unconscious until you regain this CP.

    Expect more changes in the future while we strive to make things more readable in order to future-proof it. If you find any errors, let us know.

    Custom Entities
    Due to how special Entities are supposed to be, the staff has decided that creating Custom Entities that are, in no way, Canon or Canon Adjacent, (Roen is canon as it was part of a novel) will no longer be allowed to be made from now-on. Those who have Custom Entities will be grandfathered in until we decide to do a Timeskip -- which is when we plan on completely getting rid of Custom Entities.

    If you have any questions or complaints, ask a member of staff. This announcement, as I mentioned before, is to protect the special-ness of Entities.

    Physically sealing a Bijuu
    It has been a long time coming, but new rules have been officially laid out for for sealing Entities during a thread. This does not include those who claim entities via S/X Class but in the middle of a topic.

    Physically Sealing a Bijuu via Roleplay
    During an actual, physical fight with an entity (Bijuu, Custom Entity, etc), in order to seal the Entity, the user will require 9 posts in order to seal the Bijuu. This can be lowered by 1 post for every rank of the Seal placed on the potential future Jinchuuriki or within an item:
    • D Rank Seal: -1 Post
    • C Rank Seal: -2 Posts
    • B Rank Seal: -3 Posts
    • A Rank Seal: -4 Posts
    • S Rank Seal: -5 Posts
    The recipient of the Bijuu/Entity will be pretty vulnerable during this time so protecting the person sealing the Bijuu/Entity will be essential.

    This rule will take effect immediately, even in topics on-going right now (mainly the 3 bijuu threads happening). This rule has also been added to the 9 tailed beasts, Roen, and Nue. All beasts, in the future, that is to be sealed within a target will also fall under these rules. So have a high ranking seal and protect your future Jinchuuriki!

    Rescinding Part of Last Update
    It was mentioned in discord, but it will now be mentioned here.
    The above announcement about Custom Entities will be changed to:
    - Creation of new Custom Entities will be ceased for a short while until new rules for handling the creation of Custom Entities can be made. It will no longer be grandfathered in nor removed. Just be patient and we'll eventually get to working on these rules once we've cleared our plate a bit.

    S Rank Con no longer makes you completely immune to all poisons. Now it only applies to S Rank and below poisons.

    Renown List


    Shinobi Legends, those with maximum Renown may now be added to the Renown list for a quick reference so people can know whether or not your character has max renown -- this is to allow people to know bits and bobs of your character by their sheer fame/infamy.

    Send me a PM on discord with your character name and their updates link and you'll be added to this list. For more information, read the Renown Rules

    Leaving Threads Reminder
    Just a reminder, when you leave a thread, you have to post at least 1 sentence, IC, about your character leaving. You cannot OOC leave a thread. OOC leaving a thread WILL NOT work and will not count as you leaving your thread. You will still be considered to be in the thread if you make an OOC leaving post.

    EXP Update

    EXP has boomed for a while and the boon of solos granting 10 base at 5 solo posts per day has come to an end.
    Solos now grant only 5 base EXP at 3 solo posts per day. I'm aware this isn't going to be a very popular among the playerbase, but the boom of EXP has come to an end. All solo posts made after this announcement will now be subject to the new numbers.

    Note: The 10 Base EXP will remain for group threads though to further incentivize group RPs. If you have any questions about this, ask me or another member of staff.

    EXP Rules

    5 EXP per post in a solo topic. Solo Topics have a limit of 3 posts a day that you can claim EXP for -- Solo PC Missions (a lone ANBU preparing to assassinate a PC Kage) are exceptions to this rule and are not restricted to a post-per-day limit.

    Changes to Six Paths Sage Mode

    Staff has been brought to the attention of the current version of Six Paths Sage Mode and has deemed it far too powerful to be in the Entity category. It's power far exceeded other Entity Level Restricteds and thus it was pulled down and reworked to be more in-line with what Bijuu level strength should be.

    Old Path of Indra
      Spoiler:

    Old Path of Asura
      Spoiler:


    Change Log
      Affecting Both
      - In order to gain specific Path of Indra or Path of Asura skills, the user will be required to gain Control and win the Control Fight.
      - Senjutsu Chakra Regeneration mid-battle has been changed to be more in-line with other Bijuu and not allow the user to have near infinite regeneration. This was seen as allowing Sages to have infinite Senjutsu Chakra and can maintain their Sage Mode indefinitely -- which isn't balanced with how much Senjutsu Chakra they can obtain (S++ Stamina worth). This has been changed to be more in-line with how Bijuu regain their chakra.
      - To gain Path specific skills no longer costs 3500 EXP upfront any more. It will be split up between most of the skills gained by obtaining control.

      Path of Indra
      - Combat Mastery Skill removed
      - True Sight Skill Removed
      - Hinokagutsuchi removed
      - Rinne-Sharingan no longer has immunity to use Izanagi and Izanami
      - Rinne-Sharingan can be upgraded to Rinne-Mangekyou Sharingan allowing the user to access Mangekyou Sharingan abilities (will still deal Eye Damage). Still must be obtained as per stated in the Uchiha Clan.
      - The user is capable of gaining Rinne-Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan if they use an Enhanced State, conferring bonuses from the EMS. Still must be obtained as per stated in the Uchiha Clan
      - The user now gains 2 General Rinnegan Techniques for free and now able to purchase up to 3 additional General Rinnegan Techniques at EXP cost (as stated in the Otsutsuki Clan)
      - Susano'o may be leveled up to Level 7
      - Limbo: Border Jail: Added as an optional Restricted Technique (if the user has the Restricted Tech Slot).

      Path of Asura
      - Everything given by Path of Asura is now only usable while the user is in Chakra Cloak.
      - Additional Chakra property has been reduced from a max of 250 CP to a max of 150 CP. This was seen as a bit too much.
      - Mastery of Ninshu has now been completely overhauled. This, essentially, just made the user a complete god of all things chakra. This was seen as too much. This was changed to allowing the user to create/choose 2 techniques up to A Rank of all basic elements and canon advanced elements (besides dust, Blaze, or yin-yang).
      - Enhanced Truth Seeking Balls has been removed.


    New Path of Asura
      Spoiler:

    New Path of Indra
      Spoiler:

    While we understand this might be upsetting to the users of Six Paths Sage Mode, the previous incarnation was just too much. It was far too strong, even exceeding the strength of what should be the strongest entity being Kurama. (or 10 tails, but that hasn't been created yet). If you have spent EXP that no longer exists between the two versions, you may get a refund on it in your Character Update.

    Links to new SPSM:
    Path of Indra: Here
    Path of Asura: Here
    Restricted List has been updated.

    Character Registration Clan Clarification

    Due to there being an unwritten rule that was smuggled into an update in 2018, there has been some confusion about how to handle clans belonging to unregisterable clans. My lack of psychic powers caused quite a bit of confusion as of late and I do apologize for that. I'll do my very best to work on my psychic prowess.

    Character's Clan
    You can find the list of clans Here.
    Clans are sorted between villages and those not affiliated with villages.

    You are capable of taking a clan from the village you plan on joining. You may also choose to take on an Unaffiliated Clan. Villages that aren't open for registration will be considered an Unaffiliated Clan until they are re-opened for registration.

    You cannot create a limited clan on your first character.
    This line has been changed to clarify what is allowed when joining.
    Now nobody needs psychic powers to decypher these unwritten rules revolving clans.

    Konohagakure Open


    Due to the influx of genin pouring into Konoha before the Chuunin exams, Konohagakure was closed for Leaf Genin. But now that Mist numbers of Genin have been bolstered, it was decided to re-open Konoha Genin to being made. Just keep in mind that if the populations get a bit uneven again, that Konoha Genin may be closed again.

    Pirates and Bandits Abound!

    This is integration into fixing the massive inflation of the site (temporary fix until the Village/Organization Rules have been finished) and with an event incoming. This really only affects people who do Village Updates.

    Bandits and Pirates mysteriously appear before trade routes on both land and sea. All money that was sent from minor nations to their owning major nations have been pilfered, leaving the crew of the caravans and their vehicles and horses alive and unbothered. All ships carrying money and goods will be pilfered by Ghost Ships who, like the bandits, only steal the goods and money while leaving the ships and their crews in-tact. What could cause these bandits and pirates to only go about stealing money and resources? Are they gathering money and resources for a greater cause or are they just Robin-Hooding all of the resources to spread to others? Only time will tell!

    ------
    System Explanation
    This is done to combat the absolutely bonkers amount of money flowing in. How long this will last? That's to be determined.
    - All Ryo from Minor Nations will be pilfered. It will not make it to the major nations.
    - All Ryo for Minor Nations will be pilfered in the event that minor nation doesn't send it's ryo out. This will leave their accounts at 0 after paying for upkeep.
    - All money from resources (Wood, Metal, Crops, Fish, Livestock) from other villages will not make it to it's destination if it comes from a country other than your own
      Example:
      Kirigakure is sending Konohagakure 1 Livestock. That Livestock doesn't reach Konohagakure and is considered gone for good.
    - All Ryo gained from Tartanes and East Indiaman are gone.
    - The only forms of money a Major Village can make is from their own Resources, income from your Base Size, Mission Payouts, and Donations.  
    - All Ryo from Dwellings within your country may contribute to village income -- this only applies to major nations.

    Special Note for the Stag Emporium
    - Only whatever money is generated by the Floating City, itself, is what can be gained.
    - Wind Country is capable of generating income -- however, the Stag Emporium will be required to get the money manually by visiting Wind Country.
    - Any money gained by it's major/Minor Nations will be 0 and will be subject to Minor Nation money theft.
    - Any money gained from Stag Towers abroad will be pilfered and no money will be gained.

    Special Note for Raijin
    - Lightning will be the only country capable of generating income. Raijin will need to visit Lightning Country manually to get the money.
    - Frost/Hotsprings/Snow will not generate any income and will be subject to Minor Nation money theft.

    Exceptions
    Single player-owned countries (only 1 country) is exempt from this. Such as:
      Kiyoko and Iron
      Light and Rice
      Diana and Key

    Loopholes
    There will be no loopholing by granting ownership of a Minor Nation to a certain individual(s) to avoid this outcome. This also accounts for any individual invading/taking over a country for the duration of this effect.

    Duration of this?
    TBD.

    Secret Shop Archived
      In lieu of the impending update to the Economy System, the Secret Shop has been archived. A new Secret Shop will be created probably at the next Activity Check. (don't quote me on that, things can change and I have a million things to work on).

      You can find the Secret Shop in the Secret Shop Archives having expired 6/2/2024. When the Secret Shop comes back, it's going to be VERY, VERY expensive. Just a warning.

    Lifestyle Changes

    As many of you might know, we are undergoing a substantial change to the economic system here in Gladius due to the massive amount of money flowing in. Some of you may agree that this needs to be done while others may absolutely hate it. Regardless of your position, it is a required change that needs to happen. While we do agree that "more things to spend money on" would solve that problem, which yes, we do agree and we are working on measures for that, we have also decided to work on some auxiliary systems that feed into this. And the first piece of that puzzle will be the Lifestyle Rules.

    Some big changes you'll notice are the number of lifestyles have been reduced by 1. Squallid and Wretched have been combined together and given an actual benefit while also having a pretty drastic drawback. Another big change you'll notice are the passive (+) bonuses. The level of their bonuses will be determined by your Lifestyle. You'll have to read it more. And Aristocratic has now taken on a bigger role with a much large purse required to keep it.

    You will also notice that only the Aristocratic will now have access to the secret shop -- when we decide to make the new one.  Another really big change is the Lifestyle needed for auto-matic item repair. Items no longer automatically repair with Comfortable and you'll need to get your stuff repaired a bit more frequently now -- and that's goign to be a bit more expensive.

    FOR THOSE IN THE CHUUNIN EXAMS
    For those participating in the Chuunin exams, anything you have currently will remain that way until the Updates lock has been lifted. Once the updates lock has been lifted, you will be expecting to change to reflect this change.

    Item Repair Service

    Due to the changes above, a repair service has been added to the "Other Services" in the Shinobi Marketplace. This is to allow anyone whose gear doesn't automatically repair itself (anyone below wealthy) to be able to repair their own items. This shall not be loopholed by giving the item to someone that is wealthy, repair it, then give it back to the other person.

    Reforging Clarification

    We had talks to possibly expand this to A rank but that would step on other people's toes. Well, I tried. Anyway, there seemed to be a miscommunication in terms of Reforging that you get an enchantment for reforging -- which wasn't the original intention. That has been fixed with a rewording that the B-Rank enchantment has to be obtained separately and that reforging doesn't just come with the enchantment.

    S to X Boosting Update/Clarification

    A new rule has been added to the boosting rules. This was also clarified elsewhere but was now placed here for added clarification.  
    Buffing to S and X
      To buff to S Rank, you will need to have a stat at A-Rank (whether modified or natural). Generic Buffs/Boosters require +2 Tiers to increase from A to S Rank. Unique Buff/Boosters require +1 Tier to increase from A to S Rank.

      To buff to X Rank, you will need to have a stat that is Natural S-Rank. Both Generic and Unique Buff/Boosters is required to have +2 Tiers to reach X Rank

    - Entities, while in an Entity form (or obtaining stats from an Entity), may not reach X-Rank stats and will max out at S(++) maximum.
    - uNPCs, Summons, or other ranked mechanic cannot boost from S to X. You may also not boost an weapon, armor, engineering item, chem, or enchantment to X. There are some exceptions such as (Clan, Restricted, Plot Items, etc) that can boost to X.

    Expansion of Limited Clans

    Simply put, you are allowed to have 2 characters with Limited Clans. You cannot have 1 character with 2 nor can you have both characters with the same limited clan.

    This change has been reflected in the Character Registration Template and Rules section beneath "Other Rules".

    National Secrecy and Annexation Rules
    Staff has released new rules as a peripheral ruling surrounding the Economy System. That being the protection and acquisition of Minor Nations with the new "National Secrecy and Annexation Rules". Due to these rules being in multiple places (for the time being), the rules stated General Organization and Village Rules about taking over nations WILL BE IGNORED and will be replaced with the new set of rules. You can find those rules: HERE. I would HIGHLY suggest reading these rules if you plan on interacting with other Minor Nations.

    Notable Changes
    - Scouting has also had the amount of time changed a bit.
    - The Buy-Out Costs for a minor nation will ONLY apply for the initial purchase of the Minor Nation. The price will sky-rocket if and only if the nation becomes "Unclaimed" again through various means -- generally involving a country just wanting to make a minor nation free or the owner goes AFK for too long.
    - The Annexation of a Minor Nation now has been defined and is required to be followed.
    - A new system, more of an update, to the "Gaining Favor" via EXP system has been updated to "Heart and Minds". There is a pretty big system involving that so take a look and see.


    Country Secrecy and Annexation Rules
      To see the Control Map, refer to the Travel Rules for the most up-to-date Control Map. This will show who owns what Minor and Major Countries.

    Country Secrecy
      Major Country Secrecy
      Due to Nozomi Himitsu's actions, doxxing all of the major country's locations, the 5 major shinobi countries: Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, and Lightning, no longer have National Secrecy to protect them.

      Minor Nation Secrecy
      All Minor Nations, however, will have the ability to maintain their secrecy. You can find the secrecy of the nation by checking their specific Village Update to see what their national secrecy level is. A Minor Nation is capable of increasing it's National Secrecy by paying a certain upkeep according to the rank of Secrecy.
        + E-Rank Secrecy: 8,000 ryo per month
        + D-Rank Secrecy: 16,000 ryo per month
        + C-Rank Secrecy: 24,000 ryo per month
        + B-Rank Secrecy: 32,000 ryo per month
        + A-Rank Secrecy: 40,000 ryo per month
      This upkeep will be paid every month during the monthly updates. While you can have Nation Secrecy, people are capable of still wandering into your country. Secrecy may also be used on Organization Complexes/Dwellings to protect their base from being discovered.

      Benefit of Secrecy
      The benefit of secrecy is to restrict who can go searching for your Complex/Minor Nation Dwelling.


    Searching for Dwellings/Complexes under Secrecy
      In order to even go find a Dwelling within a  Minor Nation or an Organization Complex with Secrecy, you will need to fulfill the following requirement: Being of equal or higher Class than the Secrecy. If you are A-Class, you can find Dwellings/Complexes hidden behind A-Rank or lower Secrecy. You will be eligible to actually go searching for Dwellings/Complexes. Other skills may augment this.

      Once you have fulfilled that requirement, you can attempt to search for the Dwelling/Complex hidden under secrecy. To do this, you must travel to the country, using the Travel Rules, and then write a post within the country attempting to Search. You must specify what you wish to search for. The base amount of time for searching is 60 IRL days. There are, however, modifiers that can reduce this time.

        + Base Intelligence or Perception: Whether searching solo or in a group of PCs (NPCs do not count), the user may choose either their Base Intelligence or Base Perception to use as bonuses (if traveling in a group, selecting the person with the highest base stat is suggested). When doing this, the user/group will reduce the required amount of search time by -5 IRL Days for every 1 tier above C of their base stat. (B Tier grants -5 days, A Tier will grant -10 days, S Tier will grant -15 Days).

        + Eagle Eye Perk: If you have the Eagle Eye Perk from Kyujutsu (with base of A-Tier Perception), the person doing the above will reduce the time required by another -10 IRL days.

        + Pet/Summon with Flight: The person doing the Base Perception/Intelligence upon a Flying Pet/Summon can get an additional -10 IRL days. This will stack with the two previous notes.

        + Large Party: If you are searching in a party of other player characters, you will receive a bonus of -5 IRL days for every member in your party that has a Perception higher than C.

      Important: The minimum number of days the user(s) must search is 7 IRL days. This cannot be lowered below 7 IRL days. The user must state their modifiers in their Searching Post.


    Obtaining and Sharing Intelligence
      Once you and your party have completed the search and discovered the Dwelling/Complex, they now have intelligence on the location of this place. The user(s) now have a few choices.
        + Hording Intelligence: The user may horde intelligence for themselves. They will no longer need to search again for this place (unless their memory has been tampered to forget this place). You will need to state this intelligence gathered in your updates.

        + Sharing Intelligence: The user may share this intelligence with their village/organization. Doing so will require the leader to make an announcement in their Amphitheater. Doing this will share the information with the entire village/organization -- This will grant the entire Village/Organization intelligence and will no longer need to search for this particular location in the future.

      Successfully finding a place hidden under secrecy for the first time will also grant you Renown. (See the Renown Rules for more details).








    Annexing Countries
    Once you have finished searching for a Dwelling/Complex that is hidden under secrecy, you are capable of potentially annexing that country if you wish. There are a few ways in which you can annex a country.

    + Initial Buy-Out of a Nation
      You may only initially buy out a country if it is considered "Unclaimed". If nobody has a claim on the country, you are capable of buying out the nation in a more diplomatic manner. You cannot buy-out a nation that is currently controlled by any entity (as shown in the Control Map). In order to do an Initial Buy-Out of a Nation, you are required to bring the amount of Ryo required to buy-out the nation with you upon entering it's Dwelling. You make an RP buying out the nation and handing over the Ryo. Then, and only then, will you/your village/your organization will have control over the minor nation.

      In the event that the nation was previously owned and then goes Unclaimed (through either the player owner going inactive for too long or the owners no longer wanting to own it), it's Initial Buy-Out will automatically be set to a static 25,000,000 ryo. This will only be set once and the amount below will reflect that. This number is subject to change if the staff feels the number should be increased or decreased based on village economy.
      Buy Out Costs:


    + Purchasing from Owner
      In the event a Minor Nation is already owned and you really want that minor nation, you can attempt to purchase it from the owner (village kage/organization leader). The Village Kage/Organization Leader will set the price-point on what they want in exchange for the nation. This price-point will not be regulated by staff and will be up to the whims of the Village Kage/Organization Leader. If the purchaser agrees and makes the payment, ownership of the Minor Nation will be transferred to the buyer. An update must be made on the end of the buyer for this to be reflected. Naturally, this purchase must be roleplayed out.


    + Conquering a Country
      When diplomacy fails, you can take on the role of a conqueror. Attacking a nation until it bends the knee is one method of taking over a Minor Nation. This will require some man-power to perform.
      Conqueror Rules:


    + Winning over "Hearts and Minds"
      If supplying a vast quantity of money or pure violence isn't the answer on how a certain leader wishes to take over a nation, they are capable of winning over the local's 'Hearts and Minds'. Doing politics and opening the wallet is too expensive and committing genocide would lead to bitterness from the locals, winning them over and getting them to join your side will be the best means of a 'peaceful' transition -- even though it is done through subterfuge.

    Gaining Trust:

    Proxy Civil War:







    Nation Artifacts and Exclusives
    See the Artifacts list for more information on each artifact and who is the current owner.

    Kotoshura Clan Change
    Kotoshura Clan

    This isn't a rework of the clan, this is a revision. The clan previously didn't have anything stating it requires Clan Head Position nor Clan Head Permission in order to obtain. This caused a bit of an issue and was eventually sorted out.  

    The following now require the Clan Head Permission or being in the Clan Head Position to obtain:
    + Explosive Release: Explosive Clay Stage 1 -- 250 EXP
    + C4
    + C0

    If you already have these techniques, you are grandfathered in.

    Account Switching Widget

      So, the site had an account switching widget using HTML which didn't work, so after scouring around a bit i found Javascript that'll allow us to Account Switch. You can find the Widget at the footer (very bottom). You can switch accounts without logging out now and it'll keep you on the thread/reply page. Just note that if you are writing a reply/starting a post, copy your post before switching accounts.

      This is currently on a trial basis to see if it'll cause any problems on the site. I wish I could put it somewhere else but that would either:
      A: Make the site look horrible with a side-bar (which nobody wants)
      B: Require FAR more coding than I am comfortable with.

      So for now we are stuck with a Bottom of the Forum Account Switching Widget. Make sure you leave some feedback about it.

    Welcome back, Little Brother!


    Everyone, welcome Iwagakure back! Iwagakure is now open for village registration once more!
    + Clan Directory: Iwa Clans are now locked to Iwa Nin only and Dual KKG members.
    + Character Registration: Iwagakure Unstruck from the list.
    +
    Starting Ryo and Shinobi Salary: Unstruck Iwagakure. Starting Ryo is 30k.

    If staff decides to do some kind of incentive to draw people into Iwagakure, it will be stated in another announcement. Until then, welcome back to Iwagakure. Stick around for a while!







    And we have bad news for Konohagakure. Due to the popularity of the village, Konohagakure will be CLOSED. If you have a currently pending registration, you can continue to finish your registration into Konohagakure. However, the massive influx of people drew away from Mist. And with the previous announcement, it would take away from new entrants into Iwagakure. So for this...
    + Character Registration: Konohagakure is now off-limits for all character Registrations until further notice.

    Teleportation Techniques


    After a discussion with staff about Teleportation Techniques, staff was in a gridlock about allowing Custom Teleportation Techniques (even short-range). Through a discussion going back and forth between staff, Staff has decided that any and all Custom Teleportation techniques, outside of the Teleportation Techniques currently available, (FTG, Yomotsu Hirasaka, Mayfly, Animal Path Summonin, Kamui, etc etc) will be disallowed from here-on out (Excluding customs that derive from a Canon Teleportation technique). This comes from fears of abuse of these kind of techniques and the wide proliferation of these kind of techniques. We were told that if you want Teleportation that you are to fulfill the requirements for said Teleportation techniques as the bar for entry is relatively low.

    Sorry for the inconvenience that this might cause.

    Clarification of Chakra Reductions

    Due to an error during transcription, the rules in regards to Chakra Cost reductions have been added to the Character Stat Rules. The following have been added.

    Chakra Reductions
    A character may reduce the cost of techniques via a variety of methods to include:
      - Unique Abilities
      - Items (Armor, Weapons, etc etc)
      - Kekkei Genkai Abilities
      - Restricted Abilities
      - Other Jutsu

    These reductions can lower the cost of Chakra by a single rank. (Example: A Unique Ability may reduce the cost of one's katon technique by 1 rank -- making a B Rank Katon technique cost the same as a C Rank Katon technique).

    These cost reductions may NEVER stack (with the exception of X Rank Items/Restricteds/Artifacts), therefore a character cannot have a UA that reduces the cost of Katon by 1 rank while also having an item that reduces the cost of Katon by 1 rank. While stacking Cost Reductions for the same skill is prohibited, one can have cost reductions for different skills.  You may have a maximum of 3 Chakra Cost reductions -- regardless of the skills you may have and the sources. If you have more than 3, you must declare the sources that will receive the chakra cost reductions. In the event you have an X Rank Item/Restricted/Artifact that grants an additional cost reduction, this will count towards your 3.

    All Chakra Reductions must be stated in your Updates.
