Kotononami

Harumafuji has already taken the throne last basho , in presence of the King.

Wow , congrats Konosato! Impressed you managed to get 72 points , especially this time.

56 pts Everything wrong between M12w & M15w

Simon , I’m not talking about game rules but « spirit of Sumo » rules , no need to speak English. IMHO , you HAVE to retire when you’re not able to do your Yokozuna duties (in sumo-games that means decent results) Maybe you can bring that topic up again once yourself have reached the Yokozuna rank in that game and use your discontent trying to reach and surpass the guy of whom you think is lacking Sumo Gaming Hinkaku (is there something like virtual hinkaku or online hinkaku?) Just a suggestion to take it easy a bit... I’m not personally in question here. I suppose my opinion is shared by some people here. The immense majority of sumo-games Yokozunae would have already retired by themselves in this case.

A problem happens in Hoshitori Game for years , hope Doitsuyama-san will read these lines. We already talked about it twice last year. This is about Norizo’s performances in Hoshitori game (and in general all Yokozuna’s performances in all the games) Do you think that he deserve to be Yokozuna anymore? 7 MK in the last 8 bashos. Is there a "Yokozuna for life" status ? The man should have retired by himself a long time ago. He’ll never make it for sure. Maybe a lack of sumo spirit. Consequently, you may force him to retire , don’t you? Thanks for reading

This is not very fair but so are the rules...

Congrats Konosato , you really deserve it! You always have been regular at the top. Izzie’s are very proud of you (Applauding...)

Not so sure about that. Takayasu may take the 2nd Komusubi spot even with his 9-6 Told ya! (Sigh...)

Bon anniversaire vieille branche!

Bug in Bench sumo entry confirmation. If it’s possible I let my entry here as I won’t be able to do it later. 4 Kisenosato 3 Tochinoshin-Tochiozan 2 Endo - Shohozan Bench : Takayasu - Harumafuji- Kotoyuki - Osunaarashi - Okinoumi Thanks a lot.

Kotoyuki was 12-3 last basho as M1. I see him KK (8-7 or 9-6) against the same opponents. Osunaarashi will go KK (8-7 or 9-6) , Ichinojo MK (5-10) Harumafuji for Yushô

So Norizo is still Yokozuna in Hoshitori with 4 MK in a row with a 5-10 for best score. As we said , when a player doesn’t quit by himself as he should do , the game master may be able to do it no?

Maybe time fo Norizo to retire with a 4th consecutive MK as Yokozuna. http://sumodb.sumogames.de/hoshi/HoshPlayer.aspx?p=635

Highly classy , respectable and courageous decision but also very surprising to me (and for everyone I suppose) As the others said , you may still change your mind. But whatever your decision will be , the good news is that you stay in the sumo-games little world!

You’re right Rando, this is the occasion to say once again : Thank you very much to all the game masters and all the people who help running these games for such a long time now! (I am not worthy...) (Applauding...)

Same here , thanks for doing this Rando!

Most popular picks Endo & Tochiozan both lost today. 47 players are out on Day 1. 33 players still competing.

In 2009 , when he had 4 straight make-koshi , I already asked him why he didn´t retire. No answer given but anyway , this is supposed to be an implicit rule for each Yokozuna in every game no?

This is a nice result. I bet on you for the yushô

Thank you again for your great work Asashosakari-san! (I am not worthy...)

It took 65 basho & almost 11 years to reach sanyaku for the first time. You have to be very patient sometimes (Dripping sweat...)

Hoshitori game Day 3 : Aoiyama had kin-boshi bonus with a fusen win vs Hakuho (Eh?)

10 wins , good challenge. I'll do my best! Thanks for the job Asashosakari-san.
