Is everyone just voting for themselves? Where is the non-partisanship? Or are we all just blinded by the lust for a shiny sword?

[Lucas]

i voted for outdo ninja. they seem the most ninja like to me. anyone not wearing a mask imo doesnt count, thats just black clothes :eek:

it was a close one between them and the suburban ninja....i almost went suburban because that was a really good idea with the dolls, but ultimately, the 2 ninjas getting ready to rock me out was the winner.

in big part, because this is so cool

oh, and next year, if you have this, ill be putting up some serious ninja pictures.

[BoulderDawg]

I guess I missed something. I don't know who these people are or why we are suppose to be voting for them.:D

A couple of them are kinda hot but I don't think we are voting on that.

Then what the hell is that guy suppose to be doing to that dog?:eek:

[Lucas]

the original thread explains it better, but i didnt see that **** sword till it was too late or i would have an entry that would BLOW YOUR FREAKING SOCKS OFF

:(

i want that sword :mad:

[Lucas]

if sheng had a mask i would have voted for her. but i have my ninja requirements :D

Vote for who you think is the hottest ninjette, BoulderDawg. :cool:

[enoajnin]

Have you seen the pictures? Think American Idol. It's never about the singing.

[LaylaConn]

Have you seen the pictures? Think American Idol. It's never about the singing.

Ditto. I agree completely. :)

However, from what I understand, the photographs were approved for submission based on the creativity of the ninja suit and (more importantly) how well the pictures promoted certain Tiger Claw products. With that in mind, it would be best to vote on the images based on how well each of the images would work as printed advertisements.

Just my opinion. What do you think?

LOL....A Ninja with kung fu knuckles.....A cross training ninja?? Lol.

Since I do membership approvals, I can see the new members as they come in. And one of our ninjas here is rallying some serious firepower. :eek:

Only 21 hours of voting left and the race is on.

Who will be our KFM (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/) NINJA (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=849) STAR (http://www.martialartsmart.com/16-12pak.html)?

[Lucas]

are you going to offer a sword next year? or maybe some sick hand made custom tabi boots? :D

[BoulderDawg]

One thing I would have done here would have been to keep the vote secret.

The way it is now whoever can get the most of their friends together in the last minute to vote will be the winner. Of course since votes are revealed if I were in the running I would not have my friends vote on this until like one minutes before the end. Otherwise you are going to tell the others how many votes they need to win.

[Yum Cha]

Okay I just read but DAM!!!! There are a bunch of guys on this board. We all know the hottest girl's going to win no matter of her ninja skills!


And the problem is????

[Lucas]

my evil plan:

find a really hot local chick and dress her up like a ninja and take pictures to win the grand prize!

....oh wait...that ones already been done :p


ill do it next year anyway! ill enter myself too, just in case mad ninja skills come into play

[GeneChing]

We're hoping for a horse race up until noon tomorrow. I'm going to approve any new members right now, and then be approving tomorrow on a regular basis, starting at a little after 9 AM and going right up until noon.

Of course, given that there hasn't been that many votes and that there's over 20,000 members here, the forum could rally and take it all over at any point.

Only 19 hours of voting left.

Lets rally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. Also clarifying the requirements will help for next year. A lot of people misunderstood the rules to mean A. Generic Ninja Pictures, B. Weapons and Clothing that Tiger Claw does, or could carry, or C. Wanting actual Tiger Claw gear in the pictures (Which I understood to be the case, thus we have Chaos in the pictures of the ladies from St. Louis Bad Girls / Black Dragon Society wearing the Tiger Claw shorts and tee-shirt).

Did I say anything was wrong with training with you? Aside from your joy of hearing us shout in pain. Really need to keep the weapons away from you in class.

[GeneChing]

BoulderDawg, that poll closure time is inaccurate because of the way the poll functions. It's automated and we couldn't control the shut off time exactly. I'll shut it off manually at noon today.

mib2112, I don't plan to out anyone but to the best of my knowledge, 8 of the 10 ninja candidates are definitely trained in martial arts. Two are even highly decorated champions. :cool:

[Lucas]

hey im just thinking of next year, does it have to be pictures, what if you get a ninja video entry? will you accept that as well? you know, to show off the ninja skeelz

[David Jamieson]

get all three of those girls in a warehouse , darkened, with paint ball guns and rubber swords and we'll see who wins!

or better yet, give them tazers!

[GeneChing]

But we'll see. It's been fun, hasn't it?

Meanwhile, I saw this news item today, and I just have to add it here. Serious ninja business.

Congo Ninja leader dies, aged 76 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8359087.stm)
Former Congolese prime minister Bernard Kolelas' Ninjas fought the Cobras in Congo's civil war

A former leader of Congo's Ninja militias has died in Paris, aged 76.

Bernard Kolelas was an MP in Congo at the time of his death and was a popular politician in the capital, Brazzaville.

His Ninjas fought the Cobra militia loyal to President Denis Sassou-Nguesso who ousted the democratically elected leader Pascal Lissouba in 1997.

Mr Kolelas fled after Mr Sassou-Nguesso declared himself president, was found guilty of war crimes in his absence and was pardoned in 2005.

Mr Kolelas briefly served as served as prime minister during the civil war, before he and Mr Lissouba were removed from power.

He was also elected mayor of Brazzaville in the mid-1990s.

The Ninjas, who took their name from the cloaked Japanese warriors, were loyal to Mr Kolelas during various conflicts in that decade.

Their frontline leader - a renegade priest, known as Pasteur Ntumi - remains in his forest hideout in the southern Pool region.

He was offered a post as a junior minister responsible for peace and disarmament two years ago, but has refused to take it up because of worries over security.

Mr Sassou-Nguesso won presidential elections unopposed in March 2002, after his main rivals were barred from the contest - and he won another seven-year term this year.

I didnt really understand what was going on until it was a bit too late....if there is one next year, im going to try and do something really awesome.

G4 is actually working on an AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR (http://g4tv.com/ninjawarrior/venom.aspx?utm_source=ninjawarriorhp&utm_medium=logo&utm_campaign=venom0904&intcid=sm-venom-0904-logo_ninjawarriorhp) starting in December.

I was thinking Ninjettes... or maybe we should send our winner to that show.

[Lucas]

lol if you are talking to me im really just fugging around, im not 'whinging' im killing the workday. :p ;)

im rarely serious about anything i type, unless its technical or moral/ethical

if you can send the winners to that show that would be probably the most awesome thing ever. great product placement opportunity too.

how much tigerclaw gear do they get for that?

It hasn't even begun yet. The leading vote getter only has 17 votes.

I'd be really surprised if there isn't like 200 votes in the last minute.

Another reason for keeping it secret: I would be extremely embrassed if I got no votes at all. At least I would vote for myself.

Of course not sir, I would never dream of outing any one of our fine Ninja contestants, unless they were claiming skills / Rank / ect that were false. Just saying that as far as I know, all of the entries are actual martial artists and not just models.

Almost that time, I must say we had a very impressive showing this year. Next year should be very interesting.

Either I am going crazy...

Wait I am crazy. Scratch that.

The time remaining on the polls jumped from 10 minutes remaining to 8 hours?

[GeneChing]

I'll close the poll manually in 8 minutes (going off www.time.gov). The forum wouldn't let me set the poll closing time, just the day. But I can manually override it.

Congrats to Ninjenna! Post a pic with that hot sword!

I think you guys should do this again next year. Im betting there will be a lot more participation if it happens again.

heres a thought. how about a ninja and a ninjette contest, so we can have a chance. ;)

give a ninja a break! :D:p


jk of course

[GeneChing]

When we first set up the poll last week, we set it for one week. But then, the automated end time was something like midnight or 8 am or something. I'm sure there was a place to set the actual time to Noon PST, but we couldn't find it at that moment, so we set the poll to close on Saturday, with the intention of shutting it off manually at noon today. This was to meet our rules (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=846), which were posted in the beginning:

The poll will be closed on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13TH, 2009 at 12 noon PST.

Come on now, Friday the 13th. When else would we want to end our first NINJA STAR contest?

[enoajnin]

Ninjas have rules? They might have a code, but they follow internet rules?

Kudos to Ninjenna. I should have voted for her for being so limber.
