Dear Ninja, As of today, we are introducing two of the most anticipated features for the game's world! ANBU stands for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (暗殺戦術特殊部隊) which means Special Assassination and Tactical Squad. They are elite ninja from the village, who serve their Kage by hunting down ninja in the bingo book deemed a threat by their village. Each village will have an ANBU organization, which will serve identical purpose and follow similar structure. Leaf Sand Squads Each ANBU consists of squads of up to 8 members. However, on assassination missions, they will operate in 2 teams of 4, with their Kage appointed squad leaders. While not enforced, it is recommended that members of the same squad wear the same masks to differentiate themselves instantly. Individual ANBU members should not go alone on killing rampages, and should always do so on the command of squad leaders or Kage. Assassinations The goal of each ANBU is to clear the Bingo Book. ANBU operations should be stealthy. They should as little attention when leaving their village, so as not to be tailed or joined by non-ANBU members. This is to ensure that the enemy is not aware of an assassination, and to keep roleplay concentrated on ANBU only. Missing Ninja and enemy village ninja with zero bounty should not be targeted by ANBU. ANBU are allowed to kill at any location. This includes outside hospitals. Remember - Ninja with bounty are considered criminals. Membership The Kage of each village chooses squad leaders anytime they want, to a healthy amount. Though it is recommended to keep membership exclusive to facilitate better roleplay. The requirement for ANBU is level 30, atleast Genin rank. Squad leaders are incharge of choosing their members, and eventual promotions if there is opportunity to expand. While not wearing ANBU uniform (off duty), members retain their normal ninja rankings eg. Genin, Chunin, Jonin Members are not required to keep their identities a secret. However, they may choose to, or roleplay as such. ANBU members should be retired due to inactivity or long service to make way for new players. Looking forward to seeing you in-game! Regards, Rory

I'm sorry to hear you still hold a grudge over that here. Unfortunately, I hold staff team members to a higher standard than the community itself, and my previous attempts at trying to communicate with you properly have all just ended with you throwing insults at me. Which is a clear indication we shouldn't work together.

I wasn't trying to insult you. I explained to you the difference between the statement you presented and the example I gave you, after you criticized my point. A simpler explanation to why we don't punish people for using vulgarities and this isn't a PG13 community is because neither is Naruto. Characters like Hidan constantly used vulgarities, and so, a game about meaningful RP shouldn't punish people for using it sparingly. Sorry if you felt offended by my analysis of your criticism and following rebuttal. Also, I'd like to ask that you take any further rebuttals to DMs as this is a post about non-toxicity and I would rather not need to argue in it. No need to get so defensive here. Chill. PS: For everyone else, this is an example of behavior I want to discourage in the community. Doesn't it seem so unnecessary to be arguing about one person's misunderstanding of a statement I made to the point where he's calling me a chink? Let's do better.

Despite noticing that your lack of understanding on the simple point I was trying to make is probably a facade, and the true motive of your unneeded comments on my post about being positive is just out of a desire to be edgy and stand out. I'll try to attempt to explain to you the difference. The problem with that is that the "my friend" comes off as a tad bit sarcastic after you call somebody a moronic fuckwad. Whereas in my example, I used a vulgarity, without directing it at somebody, but instead used it to exaggerate a statement. EQ is hard to teach! I recommend just talking to more people and putting yourself into real social situations like attending parties or going on dates. Real experience in social situations tend to translate to better behavior in online social interactions as well!

I see zero contradiction in being non-PG13 and being fucking positive and non-toxic. Could say I fucking love you. It's vulgar and positive. No contradiction in NSFW and positive too. I have a lot of great sex. Not toxic at all.

A lot of us have been there, a lot of us will. A state of mind where we're not completely ourselves. In such times, it's completely acceptable to drown yourself in things that make you happy, because time heals a lot of problems. If you're experiencing tough times, and you feel pushed to a corner, Nin Online should be a place where people's feel safe to unwind. Although we're not a PG-13 gaming experience, and our community and game is open to swear words and NSFW talk, let's try to build a positive, non-toxic environment for everyone. When we're RP-ing, it's fine and dandy to behave any way you like. But when OOC, let's remember that life is short and in years to come, we will look back and remember everyone fondly for having added to the experience. Let's stay away from comments like "go kill urself" or "just die", if in a moment of heated conflict you say such things. Think to apologize afterwards, because words do hurt. Be bigger men. Enjoy!

Dear Patrons, I've decided to discontinue my Patreon as it's no longer necessary for my well-being! I'd like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support over one of the toughest periods of my life. Aside from donating, I've received so many sweet messages and words of encouragement from you all, it's more than I could've asked for. The amount of money raised was helpful when it came to paying my initial rent and deposit while I moved into my new place and although I wouldn't have died without it, It has gotten me some warm meals when I might not have been to eat. I've definitely felt the help on a personal level. Thank you for that. On another note, I will start making the Ninja Spotlight videos soon, and although I know it's a little bit late, I do still intend to honor them! Regards, Rory

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.

Ranks Kazekage The Kazekage is the Sand village's leader. The Kazekage is generally regarded as the strongest shinobi in the village, responsible for keeping Suna on an even footing with the other villages despite its small size. The Sand Village, being a monarchy of sorts, picks it's leaders from the adopted children (aka. Sand Siblings) of the previous Kazekage, upon the end of his life or service as Kazekage. Retirement: If a ninja is a Chunin before becoming Kazekage, and serves as an active Kazekage for atleast 6 months. He will be promoted to Jonin upon retirement.

Titles Council Members Council Members of the Sand Village advise the Kazekage and take his place in events where he is unavailable as leaders. Requirement: Sand Siblings who did not become Kazekage, and/or close companions of the current Kazekage.

Requirement: Must never have been a sand sibling, kazekage or council member before. Assassins Leader More information coming soon..

Dear Ninja, Today the Sand Village held an independent Chunin Exams! Thank you all of those who turned up to participate. Out of the 10 teams that participated, the promotions that have been decided on are: @nut @bowieeee @MrChubb @Pervy Sage Congratulations on your promotions! Do note that as this is a Sand village Chunin Exam and not a joint Chunin Exam, your rank should only be kept within the village. You may not change villages, however, you may become missing ninja. Regards, Rory

Patch Notes 1/7/2017 Added Sand Village Chunin Exam Hall. Fixed description for Great Earth Prison Technique.

You can't stretch the boxes like that, the quality is hindered. Thanks for the submissions still Love it. I'll see how this looks in-game x) Very nice! All good ideas and decent art skills. If nobody submits better ones, I'll work from this. I feel like anger can be expressed in a multitude of ways. The surrender flag is cool, but it would be better if it waved, which is hard to do. Good idea, a sigh emoticon. The idea is there!
