NINJA Something like a new clan but more "laid back" RECRUITING

[Finished]

Some people still think that Samurai are the brave heroes and Ninjas are their coward opponent.

But forget about the movies I will tell you the truth.

A Ninja can handle all sorts of weapons very well.
But the Ninja's best weapon is his head.
Therefore a Ninja doesn't ride into a spearwall or on the open field against a bunch of archers.
The Ninja's fighting style is a little different.

Ninjas are highly skilled in tactics. The usually operate on their own or in very small groups behind the enemy's line, scouting the area and sending information about the enemy's position to their allied army.

The Ninja's first goal is to win.

But Ninjas like Zen and love their life so the are not willing to risk it if not necessary.

So usually there is no fighting at all. It is not the Ninja's style to take a two handed weapon and try to kill as many opponents as possible until he (or she) is killed him/herself.

The Ninja prefers killing the enemy from a save distance by headshot with the crossbow or in melee from behind, be it on horseback with the lance or on foot with the sword. In most cases the enemy is dead before he even noticed the Ninja's presence.
And of course Ninjas use their throwing weapons several times before going into melee.

To make it short,
Samurai fight and win with honour and if they are defeated they prefer suicide with their own sword from living in shame;
Ninja just win.






I am eager to get involved in a Clan war but I can't find a clan.

Some clans have rules I don't like, others don't recruit any more, or I don't speak the required languages.

So I am seeking people who would like to go into battle together with me against other clans, using tactics, having fun, all laid back.

You should be able to speak a language that I am able to understand (English, Deutsch, Francais), you should be able to play at least on Saturdays and Sundays, European time zone, and you should show up on the battlefield if you said so, especially in Clan Wars.
No other rules or requirements.

All members should be equal, all decisions should be made by the majority.

I use Teamspeak 3 and play the game for almost a year so I should be able to train you if necessary.

Your age should be between 9 and 99. 

I want to fight in Clan Wars at least once a week.

I prefer native open battles.

I wish you good luck on your "laid back" clan.

One single answer and then it's good luck. That hurts.

It's like you'd ask 'Would someone....anyone like to go on a date with me and the only answer you get is 'No, I won't, but yeah, good luck and goodbye then.'

A new low.

Maybe I should offer money.
But that wouldn't be laid back. I guess.

Don't worry Finished, There are plenty of people with the same idea as you. They just haven't found this thread yet, But if I see someone who might be interested in such a clan I'll link them to this page ok? 

 

[SpeedyDemon67]

If I find people interested in this type of clan I'll let you know, but sorry if you felt hurt. I was just wishing you good luck on your clan because its always hard starting them out and keeping them maintained. 

I just like wishing new clans good luck. 

I'm already part of a clan: The Kingdom of Veluca

Well, good luck on that mate. I made system of three equal clan leaders with possible council members and I say it's pretty much impossible to agree on anything with more than three people. Back when Warband Clan council for match rules was assembling it's rules we used to have up to three voting turns with just four people. I can't imagine our clan would get somewhere if I let all members a vote.

I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much.

Yeah, I know, thank you. I was just trying to make a joke.

I know what you mean. Communism doesn't work in the real world but I want to see if it might work in a clan.

I know what you mean. Communism doesn't work in the real world but I want to see if it might work in a clan.

Even if it does, it's a lot of hassle to organize a larger clan to have votes and discussions.
If you can be somewhat sure of the result in advance or if three persons could find a satisfactory result for the whole clan, the whole effort also seems unnecessary.
But it's worth the try as experience is best gained first-hand.
So good luck with your ideas.

I'm interested in joining.
Unlike everyone else here I don't see a problem with the "all members have the right to vote" idea.
Actually, all clans I ever I belonged to (3 clans in 2 other games) worked that way, and they worked well.

I speak English and German. I can play on weekends and weekdays, but on weekdays usually not before 20:00 or 21:00 (GMT +1). 

I mostly play Duels and Team Deathmatch (playing infantry). Rarely battles because most public battles aren't different from team deathmatches at all, except for the annoying waiting times. The few battles that I enjoyed were the ones were my team mates were actually interested tactics, in working together instead of just charging at the enemy.

Maybe we should meet a duel server so we can test each others skills? PM me, I check the forum at least once per day.

IRC has no leader, and it works fine. (Right?)

Clantag will be Ninja_Nickname

And I have added a small description on the beginning of the first post.




Oh Mahud what happened to your avatar I really liked it!

That will be the case in a Clan War.
In Clan Wars usually the side with the better tactics wins, and therefore most players are more disciplined.

Yeah, we can do that. Thanks for your interest.

I hate to scold your enthusiasm, but do you realise that ninja's were outlawed assassins? They were assassins with top class training, but assassins neverteless

 

[Lord Tryko]

Go anti-ninja samurai glorious warriors!

Come on guys are you kidding me? Bohemian Guard and Sith Lords are both known for using assassins.

And they have good reasons to use assassins. Sometimes one single man (or woman) with one knife, crossbow, or poison can do more harm to the enemy than thousand men with the best weapons and armour.

No, he can't. In Hollywood, yes. In videogames, yes. In history, not really .

Oh of course it is possible. Many powerful men were killed by assassins. Philipp of Macedon, John F. Kennedy.

And even today it is possible to kill any person. At least the Arab Leaders suppose the Mossad to be able to kill any of them.


I am not talking about Jet Li killing twenty elite soldiers with his own hands.

I am talking about killing one (the right) person. The leader. 

What would have been Carthage without Hannibal?

When Alexander the Great died, his empire died with him.

 

[SanDiego]

Well, when there was that large mongolian invasion one Polish assassin murdered the khan himself, yet they still had to fight all those thousands of mongolians left But enough of this.

I don't get the point you are trying to make, all your examples are in some way irrelevant. First of all, all in the wrong time period. Secondly, there are no indications that the assassinations of Philip or Kennedy were caused by international conflict. Warband is about warfare, warfare is international conflict. Thirdly, the deaths of Philip of Macedon and JFK did not have the effect of a full invasion, and did not considerably harm their respective countries. After Philip's death, Alexander took over and decided to conquer himself an empire. After JFK was killed, a new president was appointed and all went on as usual. Carthage did have a great leader in Hannibal, but you may have noticed that he wasn't assassinated. There is no evidence that Alexander was assassinated. In modern times, it is in fact a lot easier to assassinate someone, due to modern technology. So yes, assassination does probably play a greater role today.

Now, I hear you coming: "But if Hannibal or Alexander were assassinated, it would have been an effective move against their kingdom!" Probably yes, but I'd say it would be just as easy to take their full army head-on, these people were well-protected. Also, the comparison is unfair, as these are extraordinary people, not your average general. Most stable kingdoms didn't depend that heavily on one man, Hannibal and Alexander were notable exceptions. So yes, you found two cases in history where assassination would have caused such a major wound to a powerful military empire. With some searching, you may find a dozen such people, perhaps up to twenty, thirty or so (most of them already considerably less so than Alexander or Hannibal). But that's not really worth blowing up 'assassination' for. In general, you'll get good value if you exchange an assassin for an army. Assassinating the average general or king will result in him being replaced by another. With some luck, a less competent one, but that is often not guaranteed.

Anyway, if you wish to discuss it further, perhaps via PM? (Well, it's your thread, so you can decide )

 

[Skandinav]

Let us also not forget that Hannibal wasn't the leader of anything but his army and his holdings in Spain as Carthage was a republic.

 

[Lord Tryko]

What the bloody hell are you talking about?
Of course one single man can do a lot. Take this as an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I

Gavrilo Princip assassinated Franz Ferdinand and caused the WWI.

But all of this has no connection with ninjas and even less with Warband, so...
