Before we get to the rankings, here are the awards won during this task:
Japanese Film - Jyubei Takeda. Goodness gracious I still remember reading the last part of your entry. I was surprised and fangirling so hard I couldn't sit still. I felt like I was watching another movie like the Last Samurai, and let me tell you IT WAS AMAZING.
Drama - Kairi Saito. I mean between having nightmares, talking to her dead brother, being a woman, being forced to get married, and then having her husband almost assassinated I mean you just piled on the drama! It was so suspenseful and intense, I couldn't stop reading, and I didn't want to. ONCE AGAIN YOU ARE MAKING ME FANGIRL TOO MUCH (just kidding; you and I both know that there's no such thing).
Monks - Hirotei Imagawa. You were one of the few who actually even included the monks, but the entire conversation was so realistic. It was a negotiation, yes, but it actually felt like monks to me. I was completely engaged into what was going on, and I felt like I was at a monk temple in 1560 Japan. YOU DESERVE THIS.
Negotiation - No one really did this one o.o
Fighting Styles - Kyou Asai and Naoki Hojo. I couldn't choose between the two of you. Both of you were the only people to name the fighting style, and not just name them in English, but in Japanese. You used real styles from Japan 1560, and you described them well and kept it all in story! Enough said. Most impressive fighting scenes! YOU ARE SAMURAI MASTERS :D
Enemy - Yuudai Kato - There were a few other people who included the Enemies in the entries, but you were the one that directly tied the back history to it. I mean, seriously that epic twist that even I didn't see coming??!?! (***Spoiler alert*** that the Kato clan used to be part of the Oda clan until they changed their name. I'M STILL FREAKING ABOUT THAT.
Bonus:
Most Hooking Introduction - This bonus award goes to none other than Shiro Askura. I literally felt the hooks digging into my chest and pulling me toward your entry. They didn't let go until I finished reading it. I mean WOW. IT WAS SO AMAZING THAT I JUST HAD TO GIVE AN AWARD TO IT. Right away I was just completely blown away!
All of you award winners, either comment or PM me whether you want a 0.5 added to your score, save from point deduction due to punishment (late or word count), or 250 gold. (**Hint** since the sponsorship battle task is next, extra gold will come in handy)!
Guess the title: Miyoshi, Kyou Asai, Kairi Saito, Jyubei Takeda, and Shiro Askura. All of you guessed the title and all of you were so close I had to give the award to you. The correct translation was: back history. You all received 50 gold.
Handed in early:
Kairi Saito, Jyubei Takeda, Hirotei Imagawa, and Setsuka Matsunaga. All of you handed in your entries before May 13th. You all received 50 gold.

Shiro Askura, you impressed me the most. Congratulations you have won immunity this round. You are safe from the battle task, and don't have to participate in it. Anyone who wins immunity also gets an early start on the next regular task. PM me for the details.
EVERYONE. Your scores awarded you gold based off of the score. It was in the clan information chapter, but here is a refresher:
0 - You receive nothing
1- 5 This will award you 20 gold
6 - 8 This will award you 50 gold
9 - 10 This will award you 100 gold
11 - 12 This will award you 500 gold
13 (no one got this) This will award you 1,000 gold
PM me what you have in terms of gold, supplies, castle defense level, ronin and troops. And then tell me how you want to use your income. Tell me if you want to use it to buy new items (see clan information details chapter for help) and if so what items you want to buy, or save your income for the next battle task. And yes, you can use part of your income and save the rest.
Preparation for the sponsorship battle task will begin soon!
