- 750 word count on Battle Task Four

Here are the awards handed out this task:

Sting of Betrayal -  Kyou Asai, Hirotei Imagawa,  both of you gave me the feels as your characters felt utterly betrayed by a close friend and brother. It made my chest clench as the realization sank in with both of them, so much so that I couldn't choose between them. 

Twisted Secrets - Kairi Saito, the information that the general revealed about how Oda's plans to infiltrate clans with his own men who can later swear loyalty to him, not only is very Oda-like, but it's just so twisted and definitely a secret I didn't expect. 

Brutality - Kyou Asai... the amount of research that went into your entry for this task really showed through with your descriptions and the torture Kyou endured. I cringed several times, so you won this hands down. 

From now on, you guys will win ONLY 500 gold for the awards, not the added score. Kyou, since you won two awards, you earn 1,000 gold. 

Here are the rankings for this task alone:

1. Clan 2: Kyou Asai - 13

1. Clan 3: Kairi Saito - 13

2. Clan 9: Naoki Hojo - 12.7

3. Clan 13: Ren Sanada - 12.6

4. Clan 8: Hirotei Imagawa - 11.6

Here are the rankings overall:

1. Clan 2: Kyou Asai [65.4]

2. Clan 3: Kairi Saito [64.9]

3. Clan 9: Naoki Hojo [63.4]  

4. Clan 13: Ren Sanada [62.9]  

5. Clan 8: Hirotei Imagawa [62.8]

You guys know the drill. Those at the bottom will receive harsh penalties during Battle Task Four. Those at the top will recieve rewards to help you. 

Here are the ballot rankings:

1. Kairi Saito - 1

1. Hirotei Imagawa - 1

You guys will both receive penalties in Battle Task Four. 

Congratulations, Kairi Saito,  you have won immunity from Battle Task Four and you are going straight through to the semi-finals!

Everyone won awards based off their awards. 

11 - 12 is 500 gold (Hirotei, Naoki, Ren)

13 is 1,000 (Kairi and Kyou)

EVERYONE MUST MESSAGE ME THEIR SUPPLIES INFORMATION, factoring in Battle Task Three's penalties, and Task Four's awards. I want this by tomorrow at 6pm, giving you 24 hours. 

Anyone who doesn't, will have a WAY shorter deadline in Battle Task Four. 

Remember, that whoever loses Battle Task Four IS ELIMINATED. 

What factors into losing is your supplies information. If you siege someone who has double the soldiers you do, chances are you will lose by the sheer numbers. If you have a sound strategy, better than your opponent, then your chances of winning are better. Battle Task Four is the last chance to buy units!
