Just got this in my email, and wanted to post it for those who are following along:

Group Notice From: Kenneth Susenko
Hello Samurai,
Tourny is tomorrow 2:00pm s/l time with Yak clan. plz come and meet at dojo. Have a good fight!
One for All, All for One

Also, a reminder about Stuart Warf’s Katana Tournament, which is being held today at 5:00PM SLT on the Nowhereville sim.

I’m going to do my best to show up for both, though I’m not completely confident that I’ll be able to stay online long enough to see an entire tournament.  For whatever reason, since last Wednesday’s grid maintenance and subsequent mandatory viewer upgrade, I’ve only managed to remain online more than five minutes once.

Fortunately, that one time was on Samurai Edo, where I got to see the progress that Esprite and Archanox are making on the sim rebuild.  It looks pretty nice so far, and Esprite mentioned to me several of the things they are taking into consideration in the build to reduce lag (to the extent that SL allows you to do so) as well as create appealing community spaces. 

Hopefully we’ll be able to schedule a full-on official tournament when the rebuild is complete
