Authoritative corruption doesn't have anything to do with the color of your skin. It has to do with people who will do anything to secure their own well-being. In other words, assuming this story is true - and I don't since it came from worldstarhiphop.com, a race-baiting website for videos which are uploaded for the purpose of getting emotional responses from people - I would not say that these individuals were framed only because of the color of their skin. Someone always stands to benefit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUYMPZ4nEOY

If you're only showing seven items, then you must only have seven new items. It will list all new content and even break it up into multiple pages if there's too much of it. Additionally, on the left panel you can sort new material by author, post date, and threads you have started, followed or posted in. Does yours look different than this? As to your second question, you can clear all topics and posts in a forum as read by clicking the gray quote bubble: You can also do this for the entire board simultaneously by clicking Mark Community Read at the very bottom of the page.

On the contrary, I'd love to see more people reporting posts. Reports might pile up, but it saves me the time of clicking on every topic.

I wonder who will be lucky enough to partner up with me..

For your birthday, I posted in your introduction topic and gave you this countdown. http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/birthday?iso=20140726T00&p0=43&fg1=ff605a&fg2=a39de0&msg=Happy+21st%2C+Streetz! I also made you this from a picture off my phone, taken inside my own house.

I don't think forum awards will be carrying over to the game, though that's not to say that game achievements can't carry over to forum rewards (e.g. being the most generous player, most liked kage, most ruthless killer). On the subject of clothing, however, it's possible that there is an award waiting to be earned by forum members who make and contribute pixel art for the game.

It's almost as "great" as mine.

Mine is blue. There is no need to be upset.

I'm strongly in favor of this. Role-playing seems to be integral to the intended purpose of this game, and having a section dedicated to it would encourage more players to partake and help improve their creative writing skills. While we're on the subject, I'd like to propose a simplification to the forum structure so that there isn't an abundance of subsections. This makes browsing and moderating much easier. Proposed tentative structure. Announcements (this is all the same) - News & Updates - Development Log - - C# Nin Online - Official Screenshots & Previews General - Discussion - Support - Suggestions - Role-Play (tutorials and suggestions for writing, logged backstories and developing stories, etc.) Community - Introductions - Chit-Chat (leave post count enabled and allow forum games that are not spam; e.g., counting to 1,000) - Anime & Manga (Naruto general discussion can take place here, as well as other anime and manga) - Art & Graphics @Rory @Noble @Sipher @Whack

@Ryoshi Have no fear, for you are protected by the ruthless tyrant moderator who will warn @ for double posting even after the thread has already been locked. Feel free to use the report button liberally; I check reports quite often.

Ah, hello Kurenai...

Yes I realize that dust is all three, but for the sake of simplicity it would be entirely possible to require only earth and wind - especially since crystal (allegedly earth and wind) is filler.

Except crystal isn't canonical, so hopefully earth + wind will be either dust or sand.

@Slaizen A closer look reveals that the pixel art is quite different, from the shaping of awning corners to the shading patterns used, noticeable both on the pole and wood panels. Welcome to Nin Online. We hope you enjoy the game and stay out of further trouble.

Whatever you want to call it, Rory has already decided not to add it.

There won't be a sand clan.

The story of Yaoyorozu, Izanagi and Izanami, Amaterasu, Ninigi and Jimmu is from the Shinto creation myth. The eight additional kami and their names are not part of the actual myth; they were added to help develop the role-play characters of the forum members I mentioned.

The Beginning The concept of a beginning is a curious thing, but our tale must start somewhere. From the myriad gods which inhabit this realm, two legendary beings emerged; these were known as Izanagi and Izanami. Together, these beings descended from the heavens and thrust a great jeweled spear into the vast ocean creating the eight islands of the Japanese archipelago - the first land. Izanagi and Izanami sought to populate the new land, and imbue it with the powers of existence. From their intercourse were formed the first kami, entities which lie somewhere in the gray area between gods and spirits. Some benevolent and some wicked, these kami permeated the natural world to create and hold dominion over a great many elements, concepts and qualities. Death and Rebirth Being mortally injured from birthing the kami of the fire element, Izanami passed away to the underworld in the land of Yomi. Desperately seeking to reunite with his partner, Izanagi risked venturing into the land of the dead in search of her. When Izanagi found Izanami and looked upon her, he saw that her flesh was rotting and maggot-ridden. Horrified, Izanagi fled from Yomi and sealed the entrance behind him with a great boulder, forever separating the world of the living from the world of the dead. Disgusted by his close contact with the rotting body if Izanami, Izanagi plunged himself deep into the ocean so that he might be purified of the experience. As a result of this purification, many new kami were born. Among these was Amaterasu. Assigning an Emperor Amaterasu was the sun goddess, and she was also tasked with dominion over the land; a giver of life. Amaterasu had many children and grandchildren, and one day came to the realization that the great nation of Japan should be ruled by an emperor. She cast forth one grandchild by the name of Ninigi, whose son - Amaterasu's great grandson - would be Jimmu Tenno, the first emperor of Japan. Henceforth, Jimmu's bloodline would be considered that of divinity and his family would forever rule over the land. The Eight Kami Jimmu Tenno would, over time, be diluted and detached from his kami essence as a result of his exposure to humanity and his indulgence in worldly pleasures. Jimmu would remain forever ignorant of the eight other kami sent forth by his great grandmother, Amaterasu, and their divine bloodlines which were to be tasked with dominion over eight elements of the world. These kami were created by Amaterasu's hand from worldly material; they would assume a human-like form and live in relative solitude, their descendants taking surnames after the names given to them by Amaterasu herself: Seikatsu, created from a stream of sand allowed to slip through Amaterasu's fingers; he and his lineage are charged with overseeing the continuity of daily life; the regular cycles of sun and moon (Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi), the coming and going of seasons, and new life and new death. @ Howaitora, created with frozen snow from the peak of the highest mountain; he and his lineage are charged with guarding all things at a high altitude; the climbing of steep, icy mountains made a very perilous endeavor, and the clouds always kept pure and high - far from the grasp of humanity. @Stylishninja Enzan, created from the most beautiful flower in the world which was found and plucked by Amaterasu; he and his lineage responsible for maintaining the balance and harmony of the natural world, ensuring that all things in nature interact peacefully and remain beautiful. @Crosswise Shousetsu, created with an urn of ocean water which Amaterasu foolishly took from her brother, Susanoo; intended to rule over the cycle of evaporation and condensation of water. However, Susanoo being a kami of storms and destruction, the water which was used to create Shousetsu was of a dangerous nature. This kami forsook his original task and defeated Konpira - the kami of safety at sea - in combat; he and his lineage now hold dominion over the oceans, permitting safe travel and inflicting turmoil at their discretion. @Sipher Tetsumei, created from a fragment of Ninigi's broken mirror; he and his lineage are tasked with the structuring and distribution of wisdom with relation to universal truth and rationality, allowing enlightenment to those deemed worthy and withholding it from those who are not. @Mr.Yagura Donsu, created from the dreams stolen from other kami; he and his lineage maintain the boundary between reality and the world of dreams, blocking off from the minds of humans and other kami those which are dangerous or forbidden, and permitting them only dreams which the Donsu deem important. @Gary Oak Raishuu, created from the blood of Amaterasu herself, which she spilled during her time of solitude and depression; he and his lineage are charged with dominion over all human conflicts; the Raishuu determine the outcome of wars, and are responsible for inflicting and relieving human suffering. @Undo Minamiyori, created from the deep, black roots of a weeping pagoda tree; he and his lineage are charged with dominion over thick forested areas as well as the darkness and shadow which inhabit them. All things which happen in concealment are attentively presided over by the Minamiyori. @Southend_boi

So aesthetically pleasing. I know exactly who I'm buying flowers for now.
