Task Two: Rankings and Awards

With all the rewards/penalties, I decided to list all the stats, first and foremost:

Kyou, you gained 600 riflemen (alliance with Magoichi) 1 month supplies and 1,000 soldiers for being first entry, plus 250 gold (200 gold for including and listing the song and 50 gold for handing in before the 7th). 

Naoki, you gained 1 month supplies and 1,000 soldiers for being the second entry, plus 75 gold (25 for guessing half the title and 50 for handing in before the 7th). 

Kairi, you gained 700 samurai and Ishida (if you guys ever escape) because of your alliance with him, 1 month supplies and 1,000 soldiers for being the third entry in, plus 50 gold for handing in before the 7th. 

Shiro, you gained 100 gold (50 for handing in before the 7th and 50 for guessing the title correctly)

Hirotei, you LOST 1,000 soldiers and you CANNOT BUY ANY UNITS NEXT BATTLE TASK since you were the third to last entry to hand in

Toshihiro, you LOST 1,000 soldiers and YOU CANNOT BUY ANY UNITS NEXT BATTLE TASK since you were the second to last entry to hand in

Ren, you LOST 1,000 soldiers and you CANNOT BUY ANY UNITS NEXT BATTLE TASK since you were the last entry handed in

Here are the awards handed out this task:

History - Kyou Asai, you did so much research that your entry felt like a real account of 1560 Japan

Creative Spark - Kairi Saito, seriously the mind-blowing ending of their capture had me jumping off my chair freaking out

Secrets of the Past - Kyou Asai, you completely came up with an ex-fiance death and had it be all Magoichi's fault. I was so surprised.

 PM me whether you want the 0.5 added onto your overall score, or 250 gold. Kyou since you won two, you can win it twice.

Song - Kyou Asai, you were the only one to include the song as well as list the title at the bottom. It was implied, not stated, which made me feel the emotions behind the song. Great job! You have 0.5 added onto your score, along with 250 gold.

Twist With an Enemy - Kyou Asai, Ren Sanada, Kairi Saito, Toshihiro Ukita you all had a twist with an Enemy included in your entry. You all win 300 gold

Guess the title - Shiro Askura, you were the only one to guess the title correctly, so you win 50 gold. Naoki Hojo you guessed half, winning you 25 gold

Song additional gold - Kyou Asai (200 gold)

Early hand in - Kairi Saito, Kyou Asai, Jyubei Takeda, Naoki Hojo, Yuudai Kato all of you handed in before the 7th, so you all win 50 gold

First three entries - Kyou Asai, Noaki Hojo, and Kairi Saito, you all win 1 month supplies and 1,000 soldiers for being the first three entries in. 

Last three entries - Hirotei Imagawa, Toshihiro Ukita and Ren Sanada, you all lose 1,000 and cannot buy units next task since you were the last three entires in.

Those of you who are at the bottom of the ranks will receive penalties that will hurt you during the battle task. Those in the top will receive rewards that will help you during the battle task.

2. Clan 14: Yuudai Kato - 2

3. Clan 15: Toshihiro Ukita - 1

Ballot rankings will make you receive punishments in task three. 

I'm doing something SUPER special this round, something that will never happen again. 

I'm handing out immunity to THREE PEOPLE the ones whose entries impressed me the most. I couldn't decide, so I gave it to all three of you. This means that the other six of you will be in the battle task. 

Ren Sanada your entry has impressed me (your writing and historical accuracy changed so dramatically in just one task, I was blown away).

Kairi Saito your entry blew my mind and I fangirled so much I jumped out of my seat. You know what you did. Enough said. 

Kyou Asai, you used unlimited word count and wrote six thousand words and kept me engaged the entire time. Your entry was the most historically accurate I've ever read, enough to make me truly feel as if I was in 1560 Japan. 

All three of you have won immunity, which means that neither of you will participate in the upcoming battle task. Congratulations. PM me for the hints on task three. 

EVERYONE, your scores awarded you gold based off of the score itself. I'm repeating it again to make it convienent for everyone:

0 - nothing

1 - 5 is 20 gold

6 - 8 is 50 gold

9 - 10 is 100 gold

11 - 12 is 500 gold

13 is 1,000 gold. 

More of you forgot to message me and inform me of your information (gold, supplies, castle defense level, soldiers and ronin). There have been A LOT of changes (the report chapter decreased everyone's information and this chapter increased a few things so remember to read and check your information thorroughly). Some of you still think it's okay to skip this. So IF YOU DO NOT PM ME WITH YOUR CLAN INFORMATION BEFORE THE BATTLE TASK BEGINS THEN YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOSE THIS BATTLE TASK. You three with immunity still need to do this otherwise you will have a severely lessened word count and much quicker due date for task three.
