Batsuzoku Events
Events are group approved functions in which time is set aside for either specific purposes of joining (an example would be a martial arts tournament), or for general attending which would be like an anime convention. The current council including the Shogun and the Ryukage must decide on what events the clan will be going to as a whole. Ideas for upcoming events should be brought forward to the current event planner.
Types of Events:
Martial Arts Tournaments: These events should be used for the martial art requiems and/or studying up on the different style that will be displayed at the tournament. Conversations with masters of the styles could be a good way of breaking the ice about our organization. Remember only people of samurai rank or higher can provide detailed information about the organization.
Anime Conventions: Anime conventions are used for general requiems in a relaxed setting, when the council decides on it; we will have a booth at the convention. There we will provide information concerning the group as a whole plus information concern in part of B.N.D. including house details. An important thing to remember at these events; when you are not working at the booth please just try and have fun and enjoy yourself but continue acting in a respectful manner.
Rallies: Rallies are basically like a mini festival, this is basically a chance to relax and have fun within the group. More details on when the Rallies take place will be presented by the Shogun. Food will be provided by members who bring it, same goes for drinks. Not one single person is expected to bring everything but the group as a whole is asked to bring the materials needed instead. Guards will be posted even though these will be small celebrations. Ideas for rallies may vary from event to event as we try to make each rally a unique experience.
Festivals: Festivals are House sponsored and driven. Each House holds a festival during one of the four seasons. Each Festival will be held in the way the House who represents that season best shows aspects of their house and of that season. We will have more on the Festivals of Batsuzoku when we have officially begun holding them. There will be many events at each, and the events in one festival will be different from the events in another. Keep in touch with the House Leaders to stay up to date on the possibilities of the festivals. The order is as such:
1) New Year’s Festival - Ryu House
2) Winter Festival - Kormyou House
3) Spring Festival - Kuma House
4) Summer Festival - Dojima House
5) Fall Festival - Tekken House
