[b][u]Before reading further, something you should know:[/u][/b]
[spoiler]This is an RP thread. If you don't like that kind of thing, than I suggest you hit the back tab now.[/spoiler]
Welcome to the [DIGITAL_DOJO], a safe haven for warriors of any kind. Here, all are welcome to train for whatever purpose they may have, whether it be a war, or for personal improvement. You may bring weapons, or buy them here, as we can provide for the unarmed.
OUR POLICY:
The dojo will remain neutral to all other groups, and anyone is welcome to train. This also means we will not interfere with other battles, nor will we start one ourselves. There is one exception however, it is the sovereignty. We have declared war on them, and we will grill their corpses...
If you wish to truly join us, you must go through testing by me or by designated personnel. If not, you do not have permission to take up permanent residence.
This place is centered around fighting. This includes a multitude of different fighting techniques, ranging from bladed weaponry, ranged, magical, to even firearms. We have specialists for each, and we also carry some forms of each in stock.
Another important notice to everyone: do not add or make adjustments to the dojo without asking me first. This includes relations with other groups, buildings, particularly dangerous equipment, and new members.
NEWS:

WE'VE HIT 50,000!! DON'T SHUT US DOWN NOW![/spoiler]
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:
[spoiler]I'm not always going to be here! If I don't respond, look for one of the Lieutenants.[/spoiler]
[b]RULES[/b]
[spoiler]
1-the dojo will remain neutral under any and every circumstance, with one exception (see rule 6). All members are required to follow this rule.
2-Any member attempting to take another members life without consent or approval from either the person in question or me will be removed. This becomes effective immediately.
3-Godmodding will grant you a removal from the dojo.
4-lieutenants will now be selected based on merit, not time spent. It is still a factor, but not the main reason for selection.
5-Remember that you cannot win every fight. Try to win if you can, but if you are put up against impossible odds, do not resort to godmodding
6-Anyone and everyone of the sovereignty is our enemy. Kill them and bring their corpses back to the dojo for grilling
7-Ookshmook383141 is not permitted to participate due to constant harassment. No one is permitted to allow him entry.
General RP rules will be discussed in the group[/spoiler]
[b]For those that don't know what this thread is about, this is an RP thread. Which means you can leave if you were here for something else.[/b]

Edited by Inflatablepants: 8/21/2016 10:09:15 PM[b]An apology. [/b] This is long overdue. Clearly this posts tardiness has resulted in many friends, or as an old bird once said, "brothers," leaving us. These new absences are at the fault of us. The lieutenants. The lieutenants, and this includes me, have made some VERY AWFUL DECISIONS. This month especially. The way we banned Lego as an easy solution was pure bull shit. And the amount of People that have been turned away is also insult to injury. Lieutenants of the dojo are required to uphold the law of the dojo. The rules. But when the rules are so damn broken, and vague and have never been changed, we are just a bunch of guys with sticks too far up our asses. This is why we need a reform. The rules must be changed, updated. The Thread needs to be updated. Such things include... >Testing >Banning >plots >the thread itself >Lieutenants >what the dojo really is. >and everyone's favourite, God modding. I will not include everything in this post. I will go over each topic in a separate post. But, now I must say some words. Some of the best people I have known have left the dojo today. This is a result of the lieutenants decisions. Hell, my decisions. Ever since I started work this month I have not been able to really assist in...Anything! This is my fault. It's my fault for not being here for you guys. And I'm so...so sorry. Hasty decision making and stupid solutions to problems have resulted in you guys leaving. And that's on me. The dojo is a place about freedom and creativity! Yet lately to achieve that I have only made it the opposite. Change will happen. I can give you my absolute word on that. I hope these next posts of revisions will give you hope for the future. I am sorry for everything. I'm sorry for ruining your experiences. That's not what the dojo should be. And neither should I be.
