EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS FROM OUR KAGES

SHINE

"As a nation for of individual empowerment we take our Alliances very Seriously so as soon as Current went to war we were not going to let them go alone."

2. Was there a particular event or series of events that solidified your decision to go to war, or has this been a long time coming?

"No-one was against the war against Tsuki while assisting our Ally mostly because the transgressions of a few individuals attacking our young. The young are our future we cant sit by and let them be harassed endlessly."

"Shine is open to anyone who is looking for a home, we run things fairly and everyone has a voice. Even today we ran a Tournament to choose our 2 new Elder position that Nyne and Saint fought for brilliantly"

SHROUD

1. What specific actions or policies of the Tsukimori Kage led your village to join the war effort against them?

"The decision for our village to engage in conflict with Tsukimori was a carefully considered one, reached through collaborative discussions within our leadership team and a series of smaller battles over recent weeks. This decision was not made in isolation but reflects a broader sentiment shared by our senior raiders, who expressed a strong desire for this course of action. Their unified stance was reaffirmed when I confirmed their readiness to proceed with the war."

2. Was there a particular event or series of events that solidified your decision to go to war, or has this been a long time coming?

"This conflict is driven by our condemnation of the current Tsukimori regime and its repressive policies. We aim to challenge an authoritarian system that has silenced its people and stifled their influence. Our involvement is not merely about territorial gain or power, but about giving a voice to those who have been marginalized and ensuring that their grievances are heard. By opposing Tsukimori, we are creating internal pressures on the regime, pushing for a more equitable and responsive governance."

3. Is there a scenario in which your village would be willing to negotiate peace without the removal of the current Kage? If so, what would that require?

Negotiations with Tsukimori are complex. While we are open to the possibility of peace, the conditions would need to align with the aspirations of the people we represent. A mere surrender from Tsukimori may not suffice, especially if it does not address the deeper issues at hand. Our coalition's strength and unity will be critical in determining how we proceed and when the time is right to consider an end to the conflict.

4. How unified is the coalition against Tsukimori? Are there any disagreements or tensions among the allied villages?

"Regarding alliances, our approach was both spontaneous and pragmatic. We did not engage in prior discussions or planning about forming alliances. Instead, we acted quickly and decisively when the need arose. We extended a formal alliance offer to Rev, which was accepted, and we have since reached out to other villages such as Zaruza and Rill. These gestures of partnership reflect our commitment to building a united front against Tsukimori, despite the lack of prior coordination."

5. Any message you would like to give people of Seichi?

"Paschar is now leading the Storm Demons. This isn't over Iffy."

Current

1. Is there a scenario in which your village would be willing to negotiate peace without the removal of the current Kage? If so, what would that require?

"At this time Current would like to denounce the escalation of conflict and rapid accruement of arms from the Tsukimori governing body. This blatant attempt at fear mongering has lead to feelings of distrust and hostility from across the world of Seichi and will not be tolerated."

2. How unified is the coalition against Tsukimori? Are there any disagreements or tensions among the allied villages?

"We stand united with this Alliance in hopes of proving that the people of Seichi need not live in fear of the strong keeping the weak in submission, and we shall hold to that promise long after this conflict has been resolved."

3. Any message you would like to give people of Seichi?

"As this time of darkness reaches each and every one of us, know that we your Kages look towards brighter futures and seek every day the persuance of that vision. May the Wind guide us all to better days."

GLACIER

1. What specific actions or policies of the Tsukimori Kage led your village to join the war effort against them?

"War is inevitable foe those that disrupt the peace. We didn't join the effort we would have gone to war without anyone else starting"

2. Was there a particular event or series of events that solidified your decision to go to war, or has this been a long time coming?

"Felt like it was a long time coming and most Glaicians agreed"

3. Is there a scenario in which your village would be willing to negotiate peace without the removal of the current Kage? If so, what would that require?

"There have been talks, but nothing concrete. War for the foreseeable future"

4. How unified is the coalition against Tsukimori? Are there any disagreements or tensions among the allied villages?

"Not necessarily, our ally Shroud is also at war and we would back them in decisions. At the moment no other tensions."

5. Any message you would like to give people of Seichi?

"Glacier is planning on holding a tournament with hefty prize pool. Keep an eye out this week for more information"

TSUKIMORI

1. "What actions did you take that led to all other villages declaring war on Tsukimori? Do you believe any of these actions were justified?"

"It’s a game. No real action qualifies for a gang up on one village. Every village has there moments. Strengths and weakness. In this instance we cannot entirely speculate. However, we do know this. Any village that feels the need to ally to fight a single village for a single person isn’t as strong as they think they are"

2. "How do you plan to defend Tsukimori against the combined forces of the other villages?"

"Right now, we have people around the clock helping people understand the mechanics of the game. Along with data of their predictable raid times. We cannot give any more information with revealing our strategy, but we can assure you that we will be fine. This isn’t the first time everyone has tried to gang up on us. We will endure as we always have and grow. If anything, they are helping us become a better village and unite under one unit. With several new strategies in place to protect everyone"

3. "What would you say to those who believe your leadership is the root cause of this conflict?"

"Kakashi’s leadership was never the problem. Everyone has always gone to war with Tsukimori. In alpha when Celes was kage, it was the same story. In past cores it was the same story. It has never been about leadership. They fear our numbers, our growth. And most importantly our unity. They failed to disrupt our village and unity with compromised shinobi fighting on their behalf. The hate and constant harassment on our village anytime we go into tavvy has shown that on multiple occasions through each core. If we fight back, we’re attacked. If we take retaliation due to their initial actions, we’re attacked. We didn’t start these wars (answer provided by the Tsukimori Council)"

4. "What do you believe is the moral obligation of a Kage to their people during times of internal and external conflict?"

"We teach our villagers how to defend themselves. War is a part of the game. Every village has seen war, and no village is excluded from war. War never changes. What we can do is help guide our new players and defend our walls with opportune moments of engagement. Picking and choosing what battles we decide to take as every shinobi should. Our moral obligation has always been to protect the village. When insults, name calling and personal attacks came flying out the other villages mouth, we stood up. When others sat down. In alpha we endured so much verbal conflict that Kakashi decided to take it on himself, personally to ensure the peace and harmony of the village. By constantly defending the village in the tavern and on the battlefield. Most people didn’t like being stood up against but he never backed down. Making sure guides, strategies, and data on other players were collected and used to make sure we succeed in our endeavors. (answer provided by Tsukimori Council)"

5."Given the current dire situation, do you have any plans for negotiations or peace talks with the other villages?"

"Right now, peace is something we should all be interested in. We cannot say our plans, respectfully. We didn’t start this and if someone is willing to talk, they know where to find Kakashi. With every alliance, there is less people for each village to kill and with our current strategy boredom is already settling in from our enemies. It’s only a matter of time before a cease fire at the least starts to kick in. These wars our taxing. We also do not view this situation as dire but an opportunity to come together and work even harder for the people in our village. (answer by Tsukimori Council)"

6. A message you would like to give to the people of Seichi?

"My message to Seichi is this. To those villages who warred us in hopes to hurt specific people, you failed. We know most just want to have fun and hopped in the bandwagon, and thats ok! Lets have fun! We think some put their village in a bind with less targets to attack and to those who attacked allies, we believe your penalty should be applied if you got removed from your village. Discipline needs to be paramount, we will continue business as usual and reap the fun. In reality, the only one's who were hurt are our growing villagers and some of your villagers who are funneled to attack one or two villages and ended up attacking allies. To our villagers who left who have strong opinions, im sorry you feel that way. If Tsuki is your home, you are most welcomed back. We do have plans in order to deal with such circumstances, such as sleeping and starving enemies of targets. Lower levels need to adhere to these rules in war if you are to be successful. Some of you refuse to sleep and make friends in the tavern. We also enjoy doing the same, but you need to be mindful of the situation to be a Tsuki Ninja and ADAPT. We do not make decisions out of fear. We will not bend nor break. We welcome fair play, and strong competition. All of our competitive spirits can breed some heated battles and that is welcomed. We will persevere and continue to be a top contender. All ninja who like to battle, and grow strong, our targets are endless. The battle opportunity is fruitful. We will shed those who cannot adapt and end up an even stronger village than before. It's a great time to be a Tsuki ninja and we would like to shine a light to others who enjoy these things. Our leadership is open to ideas for the future and you can be apart of that. Praise the Moon."
