    Default Name this forum!

    Post name suggestions here. I'll start us off with "Confucian Academy". We'll have a poll in a week or so and choose the most popular option.

    I second the Confucian Academy nomination.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Hi! First post!

    Ok anyway, I like the Confucian Academy name, but I also thought up "Scholar's Dojo"

    I suggest Bakufu

    A shogun's office or administration is known in English as a "shogunate". In Japanese it was known as bakufu (幕府?) which literally means "tent office", and originally meant "house of the general", and later also suggested a private government. Bakufu could also mean "tent government" and was the way the government was run under a shogun.[3] The tent symbolized the field commander but also denoted that such an office was meant to be temporary.

    Since we are dealing with mechanics of battle here. How about "Path of Bushido" to match the tree in Shogun 2?

    If I keep writing articles for it, maybe we should call it the Confusion Academy?
