I urge you not to accept on this offer. For many reasons. First, his offers are most likely, not going to come true. He will say that Mist will get a Swordsmen and a Akatsuki, but trust not, this will be very far down the road if it ever happens. He will say, look my friend, Mist is more active, but do not regard him. Mist is still a level below Sand, and I will quote Amaterasu, a long standing member who has been to nearly every village 'Sand is still a level above every other village'. DO not be swayed, even if today you say 'look friend, it's more active' do not believe. Because, Mist has a habit of quick bursts of revival, but in a month I would be willing to guess it will have died completely, and you will be stuck in a small village.
Are you not Sand? Did you not say, today I am a Sand Ninja? Then why would you want to say tommorrow I will be a Mist ninja? Sand is a strong, superior village who has reigned over the site as largest and dominating Village for 8 months! Do not be the generation of users that leaves our village to the hands of Mist. Go out, recruit, Post like crazy in the sand Forums, and prove sand's worth. I do not ask of much, despite how steep it sounds. Most of you post dozens of posts a week, can you not spare a few for your own village's forums? And you say, 'Q I cannot recruit' yet have you ever asked, 'Q how do you recruit?'
I tell you people, Mist and Shadow are ever closing in on us. Once they get ahead, it will be extremely hard to overcome. With Mist weakening our user base and Shadow always strongly growing we cannot be lazy, we cannot put off till tommorrow. My users i promise you stats and high positions of power, not to mention a strong village and an active site. Have I failed to offer these to those who do recruit? Can anyone prove to me evidence that contradicts this will happen if you post and recruit?
Please, I make a sorrowful plea, as a Kage, that you do this request for me. But it's all up to you, maybe you'd like to let Mist and Shadow brag about how they beat us, maybe a cocky and arrogant ruling villages is what you have always wished for. Maybe the era for Strong Sand fairness and domination between the villages is to kind?
Consider it.
