How to Become a Ninja

Hi everyone! It's Peggie, of course, and I know that not everyone has become a ninja. A few penguins haven't even started their ninja journeys. Others are stuck in the middle of them, confused and unable to gain any more belts. And most of them are already at a black or brown belt level, ready to become a ninja.

Well, for all you penguins- don't despair! My very good friend Hoppy Quin (Peggie Quin and Hoppy Quin- QUINS ROCK! LOL!) has decided to start her own ninja journey, and document the most important steps. This is a wonderful idea, so I've decided to post it- 100% credit to Hoppy for text and pictures!

#1. Enter the Dojo.
For some penguins, this is the hardest step. Entering the Dojo and starting their ninja journeys is a difficult task. You imagine all the work ahead of you and feel overwhelmed. But then imagine how awesome becoming a ninja would be!

#2- Talk to the Sensei.
Head up to the Sensei and click on him. Then select "Instructions." He will explain the process of Card-Jitsu to you.

#3. Earn your belts
After Sensei explains how Card-Jitsu works, talk to him again and this time click "Earn your belts."

#4. Start your game of Card-Jitsu!
You'll be matched up against someone (around your belt level, hopefully) to play Card-Jitsu!
#5. Reminder...

...fire beats ice...
...ice beats water...
...and water beats fire!

#6. Ways to win

To win, you've got to get three certain cards, all different colors. Here are the two different ways you can win:

The more common way is to get three different elements in three different colors.
Another way is to get three of the same element (like three fire, three water, or three ice) in all different colors.

#7. Check your progress

To see how far you're along to get your next belt, click on the cards in the lower right-hand corner of your screen. You will see your progress and how far you have to go. You get a good amount of points for winning a match, and you get a lesser amount of points for losing one. If you exit halfway, you get no points. As you move on, you need more points to get your next belt.
#8. Earn new belts!

When you've gotten to 100% (100 points) on the progress bar, Sensei talks to you after your winning game. He will then give you your new belt. WOOHOO!

#9. Get a black belt

Now, I know that for some penguins it's a little tricky to win a game of Card-Jitsu sometimes. Keep trying. Practice makes perfect (and if not, practice makes possible!) Soon enough, no matter how many games you've won or lost, those points will add up for a new belt. And when you have enough belts, you will reach the most important one- the black belt.

#10. CHALLENGE THE SENSEI!

Really, I think this is the second-hardest step for becoming a ninja. Some penguins are skittish to challenge him, because he is their Card-Jitsu master and they can't possibly imagine beating him. But this is the time. You can only beat him when you're a black belt or higher, so just go ahead!
Challenge him several times over. The first few times you'll definitely lose, maybe five times at most. But pretty soon you'll start to tire him. He will let you win a few cards at first. Then, pretty soon, you'll be winning several...
Guess what happens after you beat him in one measly game? YOU BECOME A NINJA! Yeah, that's right! Just one!
Still can't beat the Sensei? Click HERE for a few more tips, and also some pictures of Sensei being beaten to cheer you up! (LOL!)

Phew! That seemed like a long guide, but it was really only 10 steps! Isn't amazing how simple the whole path looks after it's summarized into a few stepping stones? Yeah, never question the power of the steps, baby. LOL :D I don't know what's gotten into me today...
