Community events are back! We want to give players more fun events/contests with focus on rewarding them for their creativity, and to do so, we will be hosting contests like Best Dressed, House Design, Screenshot, Fanarts and more. Every 2 weeks or so I'll announce it on our Discord what contest it is going to be, and will also give you specific themes to follow (e.g. fire, pirates, fisherman) just to keep it a bit different every time. There will be separate topics for each contest explaining rules and prizes. As they are hosted, you'll be able to find the link for their topics here: (Closed) Best Dressed Contest - Topic Link (Closed) Screenshot Contest - Topic Link Judging Criteria: Theme Follow the theme that was announced for that specific contest/round. Originality/Creativity Can you do something that we don't see that often? General Rules: Only 1 submission per round. You must have a way to prove that you own that screenshot if requested.

"Catalyst of Tranquil Flames, Forged in the Land of Fire's ember, From routine's grip, I broke the chains, To seek solace, my heart would remember. Villager's cloak cast off, anew, Ninja's path embraced with zest, Fists and swords, skills honed true, In the pursuit of excellence, I invest. Leaf's refuge, where bonds thrive, Brothers, sisters, united strong, Talents myriad, helping me to strive, Crafting a destiny where I truly belong. A journey cherished, every stride, In solitude not lone, but free, Treasures of the world, open wide, Life's tapestry woven, as I choose to be."

Since 30 June 2023, as part of our leading up to our 10th Anniversary, we actually own ninonline.com! This comes after 10 years of negotiating with the company that was parking on the domain. The domain name used to belong to Nine-Inch Nails (Yes, the rock band) but was later bought by a company that was parking on the domain waiting for it to be bought. This is a common (though, technically illegal) practice done across the world. Nin Online has historically used ninonline.org not out of choice, but necessity, due to the .com being taken. .Org domains are supposed to be used for non-profit organizations, which doesn't fit what Nin Online is. Therefore, finally holding the .com (short for commercial) domain name makes more sense for us. After 10 years of negotiating, we finally got it to a point where they agreed to sell it at a reasonable price. While Nin Online doesn't need the domain name, it does do a little for our credibility to own our own domain name, and thus I decided to finally spend the still sizeable amount to take ownership of the name of our legacy online for real. The discussions have gotten pretty annoying (for both parties) but I'm glad it finally worked out. Just a mini win for Nin Online I wanted to talk about!

Ranks Hokage Hokage is a title bestowed on the village's leader. The Hokage is generally regarded as the strongest shinobi in the village. The Leaf Village picks it's leaders from elected candidates during elections. Retirement: If a ninja is a Chunin before becoming Hokage, and serves as an active Hokage for atleast 6 months. He will be promoted to Jonin upon retirement. Chunin & Jonin Path Chunin and Jonin path is the traditional ranking system in all villages. Chunin As a Chunin, you have reached a level of maturity and ability that primarily consists of leadership skills and tactical prowess and as such, are qualified to guide other ninja and lead missions. In a war, a Chunin would be a team leader. Requirement: Passing a Chunin Exam Jonin Generally highly experienced and highly skilled shinobi who serve as military captains. In a war, the Jonin would be a commander, commanding teams as battalions. If enough villagers and the respective Kage deem the shinobi to be fitting to the rank, they will be promoted. Requirement: Send a team of Genin into a Chunin Exam, Complete numerous RP Missions with players with mostly good reviews. Specialized Jonin Path A Specialized Jonin, sometimes called an S-Jonin is a ranking granted to Ninja whom display "Jonin level abilities" in one area of the Ninja Arts (eg. Sensory, Medical Ninjutsu) but are not balanced in terms of skills, and hence would be unlikely to climb the normal Chunin and Jonin paths. Specialized Jonin are normally tasked to lead missions that require a higher-than-usual level in a specific ability. Eg. Leading a team of Medical Ninja on a rescue mission. In a war, a Specialized Jonin will normally either lead a team tasked with his specialization, or fight as a Genin-level ninja. A Specialized Jonin is comparable to a real world military specialist. A completely different path from the Officer rankings, and still under officers (in this case, Chunin and Jonin) in ranking. Requirement: Display extraordinary abilities in one area of the Ninja Arts, participate in a Chunin Exam. Genin Genin are the lowest level of ninja and also the ones that display the most difference in power. When they become genin, ninja start to do their bit for their village's economy – being sent on missions that the village gets paid for. Requirement: Pass the Genin Test in the Academy Academy Student Academy students are trained and prepared for life as a shinobi. They are not an actual part of the shinobi force, as they are still in the process of mastering the very basics of the ninja lifestyle. However, they can be conscripted as part of the war potential in times of emergency. Titles Council Member Council Members are the leader's figures of the Leaf Village along with the Hokage, under the Leaf democratic system, they hold power above the Hokage if needed. The Council's duty consists of keeping the village in order and bring power balance within a magnanimous government. Requirement: Close companions of the current Hokage, and runner ups for elections. ANBU Leader The one in charge of the Anbu organization along with the Hokage and Council, a skilled strategist in charge of defending the village from the shadows.
