The Azuma Zaibatsu

Policy statement issued by: Kenzoku

Rank tags for members rank level 0-6 shall be as follows:
«AZ»X.Name or «AZ»Name.X with X standing as the rank initial/s.

For those members who are rank level 7 and up the rank tag shall be as follows:
«AZ»X’Name or «AZ»Name’X with X again standing as the rank initial/s.

This is to show uniformity within the clan while at the same time making it easier to see higher ranked members for those that are as yet unfamiliar with the ranks and the tags that go with them.

For those of you who do not know what double-clanning is, it is participating in more than one clan at a time. Example: if you were a member of xyz clan when you joined AZ, then you would have double-clanned on xyz, however if you were a member of AZ and then joined xyz clan, then you would be double-clanning on us.

Azuma Zaibatsu is not a clan for double-clanning. Whether it’s a base clan, a Movie Battles clan, a siege clan or some other JA+ clan, we do not allow it in AZ.

There are a few reasons for this. One is that we are all about honor, unity, and pride and feel that you should be proud to be in one clan or none at all. Another is the fact that since most people do not have time to be in one clan and spend more than 5-10 minutes at a time on that clan’s server, how do they expect to have enough time to devote a healthy portion of attention to more than one clan? People need to sleep, they have work or school, and they need to have a life outside of JA as well in order to be emotionally healthy. Ergo, no one really has enough time to live a healthy lifestyle and yet devote a reasonable portion of time to more than one clan.

The Knights of Honor Jedi Academy division was shut down on or before 4 Janurary 2010. Before that, we had maintained a healthy alliance with them. We remain friendly towards their clan and will immediately resume our alliance if and when they re-open a JKA division.

The official stance of Azuma Zaibatsu towards other clans that value peace and honor is to be friendly toward them.

Azuma Zaibatsu is neutral towards most other clans.

Azuma Zaibatsu has a small number of (undisclosed) enemies, but does not wish to remain in that state.

I’ve been thinking about ways to arrange this site. There is going to be a lot of information on here and storing all of it using the pages you see up top will not work because the pages will get so long that they become cumbersome to deal with. And I can only have so many pages before the menu runs out of space!

So I figured I would take advantage of this website’s blogging platform and use categories and posts to organize a lot of the information. The first thing you will see is me splitting the “Diplomacy” page into three separate posts. These posts will be labeled “DIP-#” because each type of issuance (i.e. something that the leadership is issuing) is part of a category of different types of statements that can be made. “DIP” means diplomacy. Also, the post will be tagged “Diplomacy” to signify that as well.

You will be able to use the categories and tags boxes at the right to sort through these posts.

I think that will make it much easier to figure out when there is a change to the clan’s rules or something of that nature, because before one of those pages would get edited and no one would know. This will also make it so that we are publishing content on this site far more frequently, which is great because it is the first thing you see when you go to azumazaibatsu.org.

As the SoE clan is unfortunately without a server at the moment — AZ has experienced this difficulty in the past, and we know what it feels like — we have made an agreement with Kowro Wefai that his clan may use our server as a meeting spot. Everyone please give them a warm welcome.

Due to a problem with upgrading the database from version 4 to 5, I had to re-install WordPress. I imported all the old pages and posts, but the user accounts on the website are gone, unfortunately. However, they really didn’t have any useful purpose, so it shouldn’t be a problem unless you were using it for something.

Within the next week or so, the content on this website will be reorganized a bit and new stuff will be added. It probably won’t make any sense until I’m done but I’ll announce when it is.

In other news, AZ is now affiliated with Vega Gaming!
