Welcome to Ninpocho Chronicles!

Dear esteemed members of the shinobi community,

It brings me great joy to unveil an endeavor that has been meticulously crafted over the span of several years. Today marks the realization of our long-awaited vision. Effective immediately, I am pleased to declare the dissolution of the battle system on Ninpocho.

Despite the recent reintroduction of the death rules, this development signifies a significant advancement. Bid farewell to the cumbersome and sluggish system, as it is now replaced with a seamlessly automated solution. I am delighted to reveal that henceforth, all combat engagements within Ninpocho will be seamlessly transitioned to the acclaimed platform, Pokemon Showdown. Rest assured, a dedicated moderator will oversee proceedings, ensuring the integrity of each encounter by prohibiting the involvement of any tampered Pokémon.

In alignment with this transformative shift, the server has been rechristened as Ninpocho Showdown. Let the battles commence, and may victory be ever in your favor, esteemed ninjas!

Warm regards, Keiji.

Howdy Ninpocho!

So, with the new death system, a question arises, that I'd like to poll you all on. It's a simple question, as you can see in the poll.
How should the Immortality ASP card work? Do we let it work as it used to, where it let players survive a death? Do we let players skip the recovery period after surviving a death? Or do we just axe it completely? (Players would of course be refunded the ASP for the card if we do axe it)

The poll closes in 2 weeks.
