I’ve made it to brown belt. I’ve got around 40% win rate, just a couple more wins than losses, but I seem to have a lot of ties. now I need a picture. ---

Damn, I’m hooked! One question, does the Dojo help or hinder you in any way, or is it just a cool thing to be a part of? ---

One question, does the Dojo help or hinder you in any way, or is it just a cool thing to be a part of? \*\* Right now, the Dojo is just a cool little thing, **BUT** they have been tinkering around with things over the past few week, and I saw a disabled menu option for _dojo ratins_ the other day, but it was gone a short while later. I’m guessing that they’re working on that function, and I hope it’s up and running soon. I would guess that it would be based on the total number of XP for the dojo…but that’s just a guess. ---

of course that should read _dojo ratings_ Might I add that this damn thing is perfect to play at work, because I can carry on a phone conversation while whooping some butt…man I love it!!! ---

I, Wu-Lux, am now sucking it up all over the damn place in honor of Monster Island. Seriously, I suck. I’ve lost every single match except the one I tied against Sledman. I have brought shame to the clan. ---

OK, ED the Head is rocking it! I’ve learned **lux** , that i can lose 5 battles in a row, and still make it out on top by having fought something like 25 battles in about a half hour, and end up winning enough that it’ll raise me a belt. I went from 1800 pts. to 3000 points in 20 minutes last night. It gets easier as you move up. NOTE: Once you reach 1st Dan, you apparently can lose points again below 3000 and still be considered 1st Dan, not black belt, and people in 2nd Dan were challenging me, so I think the rules definitely change significantly up there. Soon my fellow warriors, I will be 8th dan, and take over this ugly snowflake character that holds the spot there. And these spooje clan guys? HA! Lets kick their asses! ---

I’m still slightly ahead in wins though. I think that what happens with the points is that you can lose a certain amount before you drop a belt, I dropped a belt the first day. Also I think that if you challange someone before you go up a belt then you can still fight them but be a higher belt. I was doing this yesterday, when I’d get close to a new belt I’d challenge a lot of people this way I could have more power if I won just one of them. ---

I also made about another six people join and they’re stealing my computer time. I am there as flobble and still a white belt after lots and lots of fights. But hey, it’s fun and I won’t have computer access for the next six days so I need to be a yellow belt before then. ---

The first time this happened, I was like “Whoa! How did that happen!” Totally took me by surprise! ---

I’ve managed to make it to 4000 exp in short time. I’ve managed to recruit a few fighters so the average exp of our dojo is now much higher… we have three 1st dans now. Soon, we’ll be on the kung fu master list 😉 ---

Okay. It’s been a long, hard, fight, and there was one part where they buried me up to my neck outside the dojo for several days, and there was rain and ants an’ shit, but I have battled my way to green belt, and am no longer disgracing my clan. Now let the word go forth: No sucka may front like Wu-Lux comes booty, lest he receive some Adidas upside his noggin. ---
