Background:
After a long day of ripping Uke into little bite-sized pieces, I decided to take a break and go for a nice, relaxing walk... actually it was more of a stumbling and awkward leaping journey across the land of Toribash. I soon lost my bearings since there were no landmarks in the vast white terrain, so I figured I'd keep moving in one direction, hoping I'd find salvation.

Just when I thought it was Game-Over for me, I spotted a vague silhouette of a person standing with arms out-stretched off in the distance. Never in a million years would I have thought I'd be saved by Uke! I could barely keep my joints from relaxing as I crawled to him, and with a sigh of relief I emoted "Uke, I'm so happy to see you, I'm not even going to tear your arms off!".

As he turned around, I was instantly filled with terror at the sight of that ominous, evil, demonic face that gazed at me from above with doom-filled eyes. I began to mumble in fear, "You're not Uke!", and with that breath I saw a flash of motion as I felt the horrific pain of my head being severed from my limp body. Suddenly, I was looking down on this monster, my motionless corpse kneeling at his feet. With every ounce of energy I had left I asked "Who are you?", to which he replied "I'm a 10th Dan... the next time we cross paths you'd better bring an army!". With that being said, he dropped my head on my lifeless pile of limbs and walked away until he faded into the horizon.

With some quick thinking, I used what little energy I had left to rip my own hand off and use it to stick my head back onto my shoulders. With pure willpower I mustered the strength to pick myself up and began a new journey... to form that army!

Aim:
NEWB is for players who are new to Toribash and looking to join a clan. Most of the official clans have a minimum Black Belt requirement to join. NEWB is a stepping stone clan designed to gather the new players and familiarize them with the inner workings of the game, such as the different fighting styles, techniques, strategies, mods, events, ranks, etc. Giving the beginners a place to get to know each other and practice with people at their own skill level is the best way to build interest and improve their Toribash skills. NEWB's goal is to grow and to make people feel welcome. There are those who try Toribash and, because it's too complicated, or they're being mangled by 7th Dan Black Belts, or for whatever reasons, they give up before they give the game a chance. NEWB stands for uniting, educating, and improving the Toribash community! And once NEWB members have reached Black Belt status themselves, they are up for Graduation and get put to the test!
