How likely is it that the clans of AAN will end up in an all out brawl before the end of the year? I think it would actually be a good idea, I just have no idea how to implement it. Clanmember A of Clan A takes offense at something said by Clanmember B of clan B. Clan A and B get involved. Battle!
Just an idea. Then, once the fights start, we can form alliances. Political intrigue, subterfuge, and espionage are all just part of any regular ninja day.
