Task One: Rankings and Awards

Here are the awards won during this task: 

Poetry - KAIRI SAITO I mean, you literally not only WROTE your own poem, but you wrote it IN JAPANESE. YOU WIN IT ALL. Sachi Miyoshi - your poem was absolutely beautiful, so I decided to be awesome and give this award to you too.

Sakura - Hirotei Imagawa - you included a baby and named it Sakura and had it fit in with the Sakura theme. Ren Sanada, the way you wrote about the blossoms, the lesson with the seed and tied it into wanting to take over Japan, you deserve this too. 

Vengeance - NAOKI HOJO YOU AND YOU ALONE WIN THIS. I mean, you would have won a FEELS award, but there wasn't one. That whole seen with how gruesome the destruction of the village was, combined with Naoki's emotions, just killed me. His deep desire for vengeance afterward... you win this!

Show, Show, Show - KYOU ASAI YOU SHOWED ME JAPAN. Need I say more?  Oka Mori you also really showed me the devastation of the village and her families bodies!

All of you award winners either comment or PM me whether you want a 0.5 added to your score, save from punishment due to lateness or word count, or 250 gold *hint* gold will come in handy!

Guess the title - Sachi Miyoshi, Jyubei Takeda, Setsuka Matsunaga you three won 50 gold for guessing the title correctly. IF I FORGOT ANYONE LET ME KNOW PLEASE 

Handed in early - NO ONE DID THIS o.o 

Critiqued my Enemy Entry - Jyubei Takeda, Sachi Miyoshi, Hirotei Imagawa and Kyou Asai

MOST OF YOU FORGOT THIS PART LAST ROUND. YOU MUST PM ME WHAT YOU HAVE IN GOLD, SUPPLIES, CASTLE DEFENSE LEVEL, RONIN AND TROOPS as well as tell me what else you want to buy or save. DO THIS OR THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES for anyone who hasn't done this by Task One Battle Task.
