Random nuggets of wisdom Vol. 1

The Tao is always at ease.
It overcomes without competing,
answers without speaking a word,
arrives without being summoned,
accomplishes without a plan.

Its net covers the whole universe.
And though its meshes are wide,
it doesn’t let a thing slip through.

Lao Tzu, “Tao Te Ching”, 73

Gempukku ceremony

THE NEW PLAYER IS THE LIFE!

It has been a long-standing tradition of Mouzaka Championships to have a little ceremony at the beginning of each tournament, to honor our new players. Players that have started playing the game in the last year (basically since the last Mouzaka), are called up before banzais, given an ovation from the crowd, and given some goodies.  We’d like this to hold true for the EC this year. However, I am thinking that if we have sufficient players (8 or more), we could additionally make a tournament out of it, with the winner getting an award of some sort (starting L5R is daunting, especially since everyone is clobbering you with tournament decks while you are just learning the game).

Any other ideas/suggestions?

Greetings citzens of Greekugan/ Rokugan.

This is my initial post on this fine blog.  Our topic: the EC 2009. While things are not fully formulated yet, there is an outline appearing out of the chaos. One of the themes of this year’s EC will be that of interactivity. We want you to tell us your opinions and thoughts on various issues concerning the EC. Therefore, I will be posting here on various facets of the event, and how we are thinking of handling it. We want your  input and we expect to get it!

Regards,
