Ever since I got into Katana fighting, about 3 years ago, my favourite sword has been the Heart of Darkness by Archatek. I have a lot of swords, I think I almost have every C:si sword there is, but for some reason the HoD suits me best. Did you know I ALWAYS wear it? Even…

Planking in ImperiuM
I guess I had nothing better to do, on this rainy and gray Monday morning… (The Planking pose is a Platinum Hunt item from Tutti Frutti, just as the jeans I am wearing on the pics)
Meiji
While I will be travelling the rest of this week – and probably will not blog, although I will try to find a topic and time! – one of the most well-known C:si combat sims will close. This was announced months ago and lots of fighters have taken the last opportunities to spar there and…
Living obstacles
Monday nights we usually have a grouptraining in our Dojo, lead by Ratt. Today it was a challenge, for all of us. Not only practicing what Ratt was teaching us, but also trying to manoeuvre around the non-stop stream of noobs. Amazing really, how people act. Even as a noob I used to be able…
Gotta love n00bs!
This weekend was total chaos in ImperiuM Island! It sort of started Friday evening, when we were having some groupfights and had a n00b or 3-5 running around and standing in appearance-mode in the middle of the combat zone (heh). It happens, we thought, and continued our fights around them, occasionally kicking one in the…
Ellie’s Time out
Last night I rezzed the Padded Room from aDorkable (yeah, another Platinum Hunt item!) in the dojo, to check it out. Within a couple of minutes Ellie took a time-out in it! No worries, Ellie is just fine, it just shows even brave Samurai need some peace and quiet every now and again….
Sweet!
My vacation ended and today was my first day back in the office. Meetings…catching up and deleting hundreds of emails…pretty tiresome! To add joy to all, the rain has stopped and summer has begun! WTF! Anyway, tonight we sparred like crazy in the dojo and during one of the (needed!) breaks Ratt took the opportunity…
Combat and pictures
Last night we were delighted to see some members of ImperiuM returned to our dojo, as this is still a slow time and lots of people are on vacation. Being all a bit rusty, we did some groupfights (or FFA) just for the heck of it. Kill and be killed. Die and stand up. Good…
Goodbye to Meiji
The Meiji sim has always been in SL ever since I started katana-fighting in 2008. It was a public combatsim, open to all and run and owned by Domokun, who has spent a lot of his money and time in this to create a gathering place for clans and ronin. I remember having my very…
Meanwhile in The ImperiuM..
Whilst I spend most of my in world time on the SL8B sims this week, I also try to keep up with fighting in ImperiuM ! Last night I watched a nice groupfight in our Mainhall and we welcomed a new member: Kirjaval! She did her best in the fight (with the Bokuto) but it’s…
SL8B, getting closer!
SL8B is getting closer and closer, luckily our exhibit is already finished – thanks to Ratt’s hard work! The grand Opening is on 20 June and the gates will close again at 2 July! An overview of all the sims, including the names ( The ImperiuM has its parcel on Spellbound!), they are closed for…
SL8B: The start!
Yesterday we could claim our parcel on SL8B, we got one assigned on the sim called: Spellbound! Getting into the exhibitor-group for both Ratt and me went swiftly and within an hour we found ‘our’ land. Claiming it means: put a prim on it. Simple! The theme this year is: ‘The Magic of Second Life’,…
Fierce Fighters!
Gotta love what the sword-animations does to your facial expression :)
1 month left until the gates open at SL8B (via Daniel Voyager’s Blog)
I applied on behalf of the ImperiuM Katana, after we found it quite a succes to be in SL7B last year. I hope we will get a parcel assigned, so Ratt can build something amazing ;) Just one month remains until the gates open to the public at SL8B. Courtney Linden published another SL8B post yesterday about…
Ready!
Trainingnight was good! It was nice to see new and old faces in our dojo, where Ratt went through some moves and tips for us all. Unfortunately I was not really able to attend, due to phonecalls (meh to RL), but while on phone I watched the lessons :).
New blades ;)
A lovely evening in our Dojo tonight! Had some wonderful spars with Ratt and watched our two newest members (Micki and Gihn) learning the basics :)
