Capture The Flag on YouTube!


What a lovely surprise this afternoon! I uploaded some photo’s on my flickr, snapshots I managed to take while busy looking and Imming with Pilar, Ratt, H and Glu if all went well..so I felt kind of proud..when Glu gave me a link to YouTube, to the movie Arishia Nishi made last night!! Now….how cool…

ImperiuM vs Sessou!


Tonight was the big night….the first interclan CTF (Capture the Flag) for our new members, against another clan! We had invited Sessou Samurai, so Glu came with his team of 7 fairly new students, so this was a good experience and a fair game! Pilar and I were ‘referees’, meaning we stood at the sides…

Jumping and Slashing


  Tonight’s training was about Jumping & Slashing. Always funny to see the group practice their jumps like a bunch of hyperactive Tiggers!   The lovely Ellie from the UK was curious  and ‘maybe interested’ and watched the entire evening and then decided to join the ImperiuM! We have seen our group grow these last…

Total War


Today I installed a so-called ‘Undead War Camp’ on ImperiuM Island! It is part of a brand-new big game in Second Life: Total War. In a nutshell: it’s a grid-wide war, with players from all kind of clans and with all kinds of weapons and combat systems. Via a special HUD the weapons are compatible…

Blocks, tings and curved runs…


We had a full house in training tonight! Lovely to see all the new members in their ImperiuM outfit and with their shiny new blades! Ratt had put a lot of effort in tonight’s training, mainly covering blocks and tings and curved running…may sound mysterious, and yeah…we keep it that way! After an hour of…

Rabbit Kiss


Katana fighting does not mean I am into to Asian culture, or dress up like a wannabee Ninja or Samurai. I always found it silly to do so, as I am (not only in RL) very Western. Of course, when you are a roleplayer, it’s a different story, but I am not. Every now and…

Renovation and FFA


As said earlier, it seems The ImperiuM is getting back on track again. Last night Seizu joined us, an experienced fighter and this morning Pippin took her first steps on a mat with a katana! The new members, 5 this week!, are all from the USA. Us poor Europeans are getting outnumbered! Between helping out…

Ewok’s Epic Story


Two weeks ago, when I had uploaded some pictures of the Halloween Party on Flickr, I got one comment from Ewok. I had never met him, but  he is a member of the Forum Cartel and I had seen some posts of him. Anyways, we ‘chatted’ a bit in the comments on Flickr and that…

Fresh blood


After a real slow time, for some reasons things in ImperiuM go up and down, this week 3 new members joined! All three beginners! Let’s hope this means we are on our way back again :). Ratt is busy building or re-building things at the moment, as I am writing this post. He made a…

Next Holiday please!


This morning I removed all Halloween decoration on ImperiuM Island, to get it over with! To be honest, I am kind of looking forward to the next Holiday-season, to have an excuse to turn the sim upside down and decorate again, hehe! Last year we had an ice-rink on one of the ponds, but then…

Me and my alt


Yeah, I have an alt. Her name is ImperiuM Katana, hehe! As she is not online often, not many people know her. To be honest, I only created her when I saw a newb running around with the last name Katana, and thought it would be cool to ‘save’ our clan name for an avatar!…

Serious business!


For those of you who may think running a clan of deadly fighters is easy and fun……hell no! It’s hard work and makes us very serious, no-fun and always alert people! Picture-proof in this post, as you see…we take Second Life very serious and do not (at no occasion) mess around with silly stuff!

Ghost Dog Clan


Tonight we dropped by at the newest C:si Clan: Ghost Dog Clan. Founded by Fat Yalin, who left her old clan this weekend and started her own. Of course I wish her all the best and good luck with her new group, and good spars! As a welcome gift, I thought it would be appropriate to bring…

Violence….


Oh my…it can be quite surprising to see a picture of oneselves, taken during a spar.. H made these action-pics this evening at Meiji, while sparring (I never tried that)!  

Coffee-time


In weekends I like to start my day with coffee and watch some spars. This morning I went to Meiji, and while I enjoyed my hot drink, H and Jason were fighting. Some other fighters joined the audience (with or without breakfast, depending on their timezone) and it turned out to be a quiet enjoyable cofffee-moment with…

Cute warrior!


For those who think all katana-fighters look like Ninja’s with black masks or are standard dressed as Ronins in heavy armors…I came across this little man, and allthough he looks very cute and harmless, it is a killer and good fighter!
