Lol I wont join, thought i made that clear.
And you can't be good if you refuse to do multiple U2s(UJ)
Using more than one of anything isn't spamming.
And "spamming" isn't wrong. I never saw spamming in the list of sins in the bible lol.
If you cant beat spamming then you really aren't good after all.
And losing to a spammer may not necessarily make him better than you at the game, but if you keep losing to the same spam then he must be better.
In truth, the actual definition of spamming is rapid, repeated use of the same item or action. If its actual spam then you know whats coming and any good player would know how to stop it, avoid it, or punish it.
Seriously, 1 U2 per match because of spam? Go play hello kitty or something man.
Fighting is a man's game, not a little girl's who's gonna cry and complain when she loses to someone better than her.
Erase the idea of "spamming" from your minds, and just play the game.
Its no fun if you go and take away privileges like using more than one ultimate jutsu.
if u wont join dont post
and i think the rule is more one LANDED uj anyways cuz alot of UJs can be punished pretty hard maybe even with another UJ lmao
no one said spamming is a sin i think sometimes its necessary but a good player uses all of its characters moves and uses them effectively
i havent played a spamming Advanced Player yet
but once again only scrubs and noobs spam and if u wont join then dont post man
I'll post wherever I feel a second opinion is needed.
The sin thing was a joke.
I assumed the rule referred to landed UJs, and even so its still a horrible rule.
You obviously haven't been playing good players. I wouldn't call any strategy spamming, but I know some really good players who you would probably categorize as "spammers."
I consider myself a a bit* advanced of a player (especially in comparison with the majority of bad players), and I have a few different strategies that I like to use the most, and some may look at them as being "spammy" or something of the equivalent, but in no way is landing more than one UJ spam.
Maybe in the first UNS, i would kind of understand it if the rule was applied the the first game. But not this one. UJs don't do god-like amounts of damage where it needs to be limited to one per match.
I'm not one to brag about being good at the game, because honestly I get my a** whooped a lot by really good players, but I would really like to play a few of you guys to see how you play. Because seriously, if you guys are making rules like this, you probably ban Team UJs and Awakenings too.
And please don't tell me not to post, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Please don't get upset if my opinion conflicts with your own.
[Edit] Lol scrubs and noobs. I doubt any of you know what those words actually mean.
Those words were created by pros and advanced gamers to describe people like you who constrict aspects of the game to make it more "fair" for you and who make excuses for losing to someone who did the same move a little too much.
True advanced players dont ban things that dont need to be banned. Nothing is this game is broken, and no character is god-tier. I post because I want to change your opinions on this. I would gladly join a tournament where I can freely play without worrying about restrictions.
Okay, if you need more than one UJ to win, that's fine. I don't care. If you're not joining, I don't care. Create your own tournament, I don't care. I just don't.
The only thing I care is that your attitude bugs me. Please don't act like you're so awesome. Calling everyone else noobs, thinking you're better than anyone else... The little respect you might've had is gone.
I can play against anyone, be it spammers, campers, awakening n00bs or good players, I don't think I never said I couldn't. I've played against lots of good players, and beaten and lost to lots of good players.
I'm just trying to have fun while playing, and fighting good players is fun. Fighting people who are tryin' to play good are fun to play against too. And I think that is the point of this tournament too. So if you're looking for a serious tourney, then go look somewhere else.
If you really are as good as you say, then I might want to play against you, but if you're just gonna spam Jutsu and UJ, then no thanks. As I said before, I play for fun. Not just to win. FYI, I have played 600 (400-200 w/l) ranked matches, and probably had 30-60 spam/turtle free battles.
I agree with DonJah.* I can also play against anyone, but it's just that playing against spammers irritates me.* However, if they turtle I usually turtle back since I use Neji and that's his best playstyle but I don't get any enjoyment from using him that way.* Lost and won against good players too, some with less BP than me.* I've played like 270 battles and only had about 10-20 good non-spammers.* I'm like DonJah in the way that I play for fun, not to win, and I think the inclusion of leaderboards brought on the cheap tactics.* They should remove leaderboards imo, but that's just me.*
Oh yeah DonJah we didn't fight yet lol.* I want to but I'm afraid that since you're from EU we're both going to get that 3 second delay this game is famous for.
That's right, we haven't
Yeah, the lag is rather horrible when playing someone from further away... Usually it's not so bad when fighting someone from the US, but if he's from Japan, yeah, it is like 3 seconds... Hopefully the lag won't be too much of a problem then
And RogueGetsuga, it's kinda funny how you said earlier I'm always playing some random game when you're on. Well everytime I see you're online you're playing Black Ops Maybe if I ask you to fight when I'm online as me and planning some UNS?
anyone getting this game on the 19 so we can fight here is my psn narutodarkfox12

Chris Vanderlip. BA Photography, 2006; BA Spanish, 2008; BS Geology (in progress). Grand Valley State University, Allendale/Grand Rapids MI. Email chrisvanderlip[[at]]yahoo[[dot]]com. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.vanderlip https://www.facebook.com/ChrisVanderlipPhotography I consider myself essentially a photographic artist, landscapes and architecture being my primary modes. However, please note that my panoramio.com account images often reflect my other, non-fine-art, photographic interests such as geomorphological studies, and as such, may not represent the general public's expectation of fine-art. I began using an SLR in 1996 and developed my craft at Kalamazoo Valley Community College and Grand Valley State University, culminating in a bachelor's degree in photography in 2006. I started creating HDR (high-dynamic-range) images early in 2010 and currently use Photomatix software for image generation and post-process in Photoshop. I generally operate under a "realistic HDR" modus operandi, which is to say that I tone map for global contrast and use a curve-and-mask approach to create and control local contrast, avoiding halos and other phenomena which are distracting in many HDR images. While certain effects may be appropriate at times, I feel that mine is a more mature approach to creating HDR images, making photographs that are about their subject or atmosphere, rather than representing an image making process or effect.

Delightful Cocktail of Musical Performances.
Monday, 13 August 2012 12:43
After a week's stay in the Academy, it was time for the contestants to prove what they have learnt so far on stage. They treated the whole of West Africa to a delightful cocktail of musical performances.
The evening kicked off with Didi, Marvellous, and Musulyn singing Michael Bolton's 'Lean On Me, 'So Amazing' by Luther Vandross and Alicia Keys' 'If I ain't got you'. They opened the floor with their individual performances easing everyone into the show fully.
Ayo, Kemi and Chinyere did not dull at all. They upped the game as each of them performed Bob Marley's 'Redemption Song', 'Best Thing I Never Had' by Beyonce Knowles and 'Someone Like You' by Adele.
After these six phenomenal performances, came Adetoun, Tega and Grace beautifully pulling 'Listen' by Beyonce, Toni Braxton's 'Unbreak My Heart'and 'Can't I Live' by Toni Braxton.
The next set of contestants sang their way into everyone's heart effortlessly as they took our musical journey to the next level as Oyinkansade sang 'So Sick' by Neyo, Edward performed 'All Night Long' by Lionel Richie and Brenda's energetic display of Beyonce's 'Hello'.
After these twelve awesome performances, the last three contestants took up the challenge and beautifully brought the day to a climax with Vanessa William's 'Color of the Wind', 'My Girl' by The Temptations and Reuben Studdards' 'Flying Without Wings'. So with Sonia, Joshua and Christian rounding in such manner, the judges and faculty took time to express their views.
While Brenda got a lot accolades from the faculty after mentioning that they all seemed to have sang in their comfort zones, the judges also felt the contestants were good but advised them to bring something exceptional to the table because only the very exceptional will survive.
Tomorrow, they will all be singing again but this time to escape being put on probation. As the contest toughens, the drama and twist begins!

Excitement @ The City of Abuja...
Friday, 20 July 2012 09:28
The city of Abuja had its own fair share of Project Fame experience. Young talents from the nook and crannies of Abuja trooped out to give fame a chance.
While a few smiled home with their bags full of 'Yeses', many others were not lucky enough to impress the judges.
Oprah and Javy came with high hopes but they were not able to impress the judges, the birthday boy also was another interesting character who though got a birthday song from the judges, couldn't sing his way to a yes. Interesting characters you will say...
Joy and Deborah, interns at the Rhythm FM, Abuja and students of Birmingham University came to give fame a shot. While Deborah was able to sing her way through, Joy sadly has to try again next year.
Here's another chance to see the drama, excitement and fun all at the Federal Capital territory.
Project Fame Hits The City of Ibadan!
Friday, 27 July 2012 11:02
Ibadan has God talents indeed. The ancient city of Ibadan also played host to Project Fame crew as the search for the next music mega-star hit the city. Will they find another Roy? Will there be another Yetunde-omo Ibadan, or big, bold and beautiful Krimi? Guess time would tell.
Very early in the morning, Tafo-Arena, W.A.E.C. Junction, Eleyele, Road, Ibadan witnessed an overwhelming assembly of 'wanna-bes'. While some took solace in the restroom to rehearse, some others chose to dance to the blaring tunes from the loud-speakers at the waiting arena and some others clustered in groups preparing for the day, some aged men were not left out with their traditional musical instruments. It was a rich assemblage of diverse music talents all for one goal.
The judges were - Sholla Allyson a well known musical icon, ace broadcaster Damola Tinubu popularly known as Dammy T. and Ibadan based O.A.P. Tony Roland Awobode (Don. T.) had a filled time hearing out everyone who cared to sing and took the onerous task to select the ones that would make it to the next stage.
While we had the good, the not-so-good, and of course the funnies; the judges were able to pick out those that would make it to the next stage of auditions. How far will they go? Will they be able to compete with contestants from other regions?
The search goes on...
Liberia Gives Fame A Shot!
Friday, 27 July 2012 11:44
Liberia produced the much celebrated Nickolas Buiger in season 2 and the likes of Sametta also of season 2, Princess of season 3. Again the search for another talent pulled by Liberia.
Calabar Welcomes Project Fame in Style...
Sunday, 29 July 2012 12:07
Yesterday was Azonto fiesta in Ghana, and today the audition train stopped by Calabar, the city of Etighi. This was where the Kukere crooner-winner of Project Fame season 1 was discovered. Will another winner emerge from here this season? Let the search begin...
Very early in the morning, Marian Hotels received a huge influx of hopefuls who like Iyanya once upon a time came to be auditioned. While we can safely call some of these budding stars masters of dance, others just should just be christened super clowns.
Final 24 Sings...
Monday, 30 July 2012 09:59
After searching through major cities in West Africa, twenty-four contestants made it to semi-finals. And to make it to the next stage, they had to face the huddle of impressing the judges.
With music veteran Ade Bantu as the newest judge, the show kicked off with Uncle Ben visiting the contestants at home with the good news of making the final 24. They joy of these contestants knew no bounds as they prepared for the heat show.

text: (CELEBRITY ACTIVISM) Actor Jude Law is joining celebrity activists like Ke$ha and Sarah McLachlan and speaking out against the annual Canadian seal slaughter. The Sherlock Holmes star recently teamed up with PETA and wrote a letter urging the World Trade Organization (WTO) to uphold the EU's ban on seal products. The handsome Brit wrote, "I'm writing to urge the panel to uphold this ban, which is in line with the wishes of compassionate people all around the world, including the majority of European citizens. Even local sentiment is turning, and a lack of markets has led Canadian officials to seriously examine whether the slaughter should end." The WTO's final hearing on the issue will be held on April 29. Read on to find out what Law proposes would be a better solution for sealers and seals. — Global Animal

By: Lane Stone & Nathan Hale
Updated: July 12, 2010
According to the American Diabetes Association, almost 24 million people in the United States have diabetes, and it's the seventh leading cause of death.
Adding a few foods to your plate like cinnamon or even coffee could save you from the debilitating disease.
One weird sign you could be at risk for diabetes -- you nap alot.
In a recent study, participants who napped four to six times a week were 36-percent more likely to have type two diabetes while those who napped daily were 28 percent more likely.

Kicking off the New Year
By Mary Malone McCarthy/Women@Work
YES! it's that time of year again when we eat endless delectable holiday treats, toast the closing year and dream of the year to come. Every conversation seems to revolve around fresh plans as we anticipate a triumphant new year ahead. New Year's resolutions, whether in your professional or personal life, come with the very best of intentions and are set with such conviction. Typically, by January 2, our office is organized, planner set, gym bag packed and latest fad diet posted to the refrigerator.
The University of Scranton Journal of Psychology recently conducted a study that showed the most common New Year's resolutions include losing weight, getting organized, saving money, exercising and enjoying life. Sound familiar? Interestingly, the same study also revealed that only 8 percent of people are successful in achieving their goals. How could that be!?
After much contemplation, I have decided to shake things up a bit and create my top-five New Year's resolution list as a "Working Mom." Instead of being just about me, my exercise regimen and time management skills, this year's plan focuses on actions that will have long-term benefits on those most important to me — my children.

Scottish Premier League clubs have begun to clarify the reasoning behind their votes to reject a transfer of Rangers' membership to the newco.
Newco Rangers will not compete in the SPL next season as clubs voted "overwhelmingly" against the membership transfer.
In a vote at Hampden on Wednesday, the clubs rejected an application by the new company, Sevco Scotland Limited, to allow it to inherit the old club's SPL share.
A spokesman for the SPL said: "At today's general meeting, SPL clubs today voted overwhelmingly to reject the application from Rangers newco to join the SPL."
Here's the reactions so far from clubs after the vote:
No comment
Vote: No
"Celtic Football Club today confirmed that it opposed re-admission to the Scottish Premier League by Rangers newco.
"Today´s decision to refuse access into the SPL was an overwhelming one and demonstrates the depth of feeling amongst everyone involved in Scottish football.
"Fundamentally, the Celtic board has also been very mindful of the need to take what it believes to be the correct course of action in protecting the integrity of the game in Scotland.
"The matter is now within the jurisdiction of the Scottish Football Association and it will be for the SFA to decide on the future of Rangers newco."
Vote: No
Dundee United

Vote: Abstained
"As we have stated previously, the situation has potential serious financial consequences for the club. It is a matter of huge regret that we are put at risk through no fault of our own but must work in every way possible to protect the club.
"We will be asking our supporters to do whatever they can to assist the club in these extremely difficult time, further details will follow in the next few days."
Vote: No
"We are deeply disappointed that our application to rejoin the SPL has been rejected overwhelmingly by the member clubs.
"We will now proceed as we had planned from late June to apply for membership of the SFL."
Vote: Yes
Ross County
No comment
Vote: No
St Johnstone
No comment
Vote: No
St Mirren
"As you will now be aware St Mirren FC today voted against the application by the Rangers NewCo to be admitted to the SPL. This vote was part of an overwhelming rejection of the application by the SPL member clubs.
"It will now be left for the SFA and SFL collectively to decide where the Rangers newco will play it's football next season.
"Those organisations will make their decision in due course without any pressure from the SPL or it's member clubs and we will fully respect whatever decision they make.
"We now hope that the St.Mirren support will get fully behind the club and team as we prepare for the new season and start once again to focus on football matters."
Vote: No

Cancer Types / Pediatric Cancers / Sarcomas: Rhabdomyosarcoma
What is a sarcoma? Sarcoma is a general medical term that refers to any cancer of the bone, muscle, or other connective tissue, such as cartilage and tendons. Sarcoma has sometimes been defined as a "tumor of fleshy consistence", made up of cells similar to those of the growing fetus, but without proper development. Sarcomas can occur in both children and adults, both males and females. In fact, there are many different types of sarcomas, depending on where the cancer cells grow and how they appear under a microscope. These different types are in turn associated with different clinical behavior, which naturally influences how they are treated. What is a rhabdomyosarcoma? Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma found in children. It is still a rare cancer overall, accounting for about 3.5% of all childhood cancers. About 250 new cases of rhabdomyosarcoma are ... read more on Rhabdomyosarcoma

Suja Juice
One of our newest Whole Foods Market supplier partners is Suja Juice, an organic, raw, Non-GMO verified fruit and vegetable blend beverage and cleanse program. What makes their products so unique is that all ingredients are gently cold pressed for the maximum yield of vitamins, minerals and enzymes, and each 16 ounce bottle contains approximately three pounds of organic produce. Once the cold pressing process is complete, the juice is High Pressure Processed (HPPd) to extend the shelf life by about a month. The HPP method gives Suja the ability to create a safe to drink, nutrient rich beverage without the use of heat or pasteurization.
As you can imagine, maintaining temperature is extremely important in producing a high quality juice. Temperature must be maintained at or below 40 degrees on a continual basis, so Suja and Whole Foods Market have been working together to ensure that from the time that Suja places the juice in the box until the time that it is placed in the cold case section by a Whole Foods Market Team Member, the temperature hasn't gone above 39 degrees. To protect the integrity of their products, Suja has launched their innovative TempTrips program that will randomly test one case from each pallet that it ships. Upon receipt by Whole Foods Market of the product, the Team Member will see that a temperature device is inside a particular box. For every TempTrip device that Suja receives back from Whole Foods Market, Suja will make a $25 donation to Whole Planet Foundation.
Through product sales this year, they hope to be able to fund nearly 400 new microloans that will give 2400 people the chance for a new life. You can learn more about Suja by visiting: www.sujajuice.com, and we hope that you will join us in celebrating their generosity!
Team Member Spotlight: Lisa
Lisa has been super successful in raising full loans for Whole Planet Foundation during our 2013 Annual Prosperity Campaign. Here is what she had to say about her last day of collecting donations:
"Literally in the final hour yesterday, 2 of my friends who are regular WFM customers that I've been speaking with since our campaign began, shopped for their groceries and each donated a full loan. It totally blew me away.
Plus my online page brought in 2 full loans of $164 plus some more, totaling $358.
I believe my count of full loans donated is 10 plus the 6 matching ones, totaling 16 full loans and somewhere upwards of $5000 raised.
Having this be my focus, to have the opportunity to make a difference in peoples lives, both on the receiving side and the giving side of our customers and [WFM] Team Members, has inspired and touched me in ways I cannot really express fully in words right now. Definitely my experience of life has dramatically been impacted being part of the Whole Planet Foundation's fundraising campaign."
Thank you Lisa!

Audit finds $51K missing at Hamblen animal shelter
May 22, 2013 19:59 GMT
MORRISTOWN, Tenn. (AP) -- An audit by the state comptroller's office has found that more than $51,000 in animal adoption fees and donations for the Morristown-Hamblen Humane Society was not deposited into the facility's bank account.
According to the audit, an investigation was requested by the Hamblen County mayor after a humane society employee discovered altered receipts.
The audit says a former employee who was questioned by management admitted to backdating one receipt to "borrow" $120. The employee returned the $120 and was terminated. The employee refused to meet with auditors.
Morristown-Hamblen Humane Society Board Chair Gean Ann Sing said in a response to auditors that the humane society now utilizes more than one employee for handling deposits. The board also has agreed to obtain yearly audits.

Dillard eyes another run for governor
State Sen. Kirk Dillard talks with guests at an election night gathering Tuesday. | Curtis Lehmkuhl~Sun-Times Media
Updated: December 9, 2012 7:39PM
State Sen. Kirk Dillard says Republicans are paying the price for the primary he lost more than two years ago.
The winner of the February 2010 primary, state Sen. Bill Brady, lost to Pat Quinn in the election for governor. And that cost the Republicans control of the General Assembly when it was time to redraw the legislative districts.
"The redistricting map is the largest contributing factor to the drubbing the Republicans took," Dillard said.
"If Bob Dold, who was an exceptional candidate, can't win on the North Shore, you know it's all because of the remap," Dillard said.
"I would submit that because of the February 2010 primary, it's going to be very difficult for the Republicans to take control of the legislature for the next 10 years."
In that primary, Dillard finished second to Brady, by a margin of only 193 votes.
The Republican primary was crowded with seven candidates, including former Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan and Andy McKenna, former chairman of the Illinois Republican Party.
The redistricting map cannot be undone until after the next census in 2020. But Dillard hopes to fix his failed run for governor much sooner. Quinn's term ends in 2014.
"My skill set is tailor-made for the governorship," Dillard said.
He was former Gov. Jim Edgar's chief of staff in the early 1990s, when the state was in a recession. Edgar's administration reversed "a multi-billion budget imbalance" and raised the balance in the state treasury to $1.5 billion, Dillard said, "without an income tax increase."
After winning re-election Tuesday to state senator of the 24th district, Dillard said he plans to meet with "the major civic, business and Republican leaders in Illinois to determine whether I should run for statewide office," Dillard said.
But Dillard said there can't be seven or more candidates, especially a handful from DuPage County alone, duking it out for the GOP nomination.
"I don't believe in smoke-filled rooms," Dillard said, but a crowded field "dilutes our resources and dilutes our message."~.
