Just a question... What happens if I don't want to become a yokozuna? Over the next few years, there is bound to be time when I have a few makekoshi basho in a...
Esteamed Ekigozan (my opinions written here in no way voices the opinions of those of the YDC, i will leave it to them to voice their own opinion.) Yes there...
Paul - Don't become Yokozuna. As it stands, I completely agree with you. Your thinking was one of the reasons I retired from Bench Sumo a while back. I had...
Yokozuna death knell.... Some observations. 1) Bench Sumo is a community - it is not just a series of individual players. 2) As a community, a lot of players...
here are my thoughts first of all i ask you to become a yokozuna although it is harder to play there, than at a lower rank, i would not want to miss the...
Jezz wrote ... I didn't realize this when I wrote my response....hence the conditional of my statement no longer applies. I retract my comments made earlier...
My 2 Yen: Treat the Yokozuna as Ozeki, i.e. two make-koshi in a row and back to Sekiwake it is. That would keep the fun in the game for everybody. Jakusotsu ...
Sorry, Putting my Rijicho 'orange traffic cone hat' on - this is not going to happen. The Yokozuna is a special rank and is treated differently. The rules for...
Paul [Ekigozan], I believe we the members of the YDC have learned from our past mistake[s]. Therefore I would like you to ask you to please accept the ...
Hi, well I'm far away from Sanyaku ranks and I was not yet active when the first BS Yokozuna retired, so I have no experience with BS Yokozuna's.... but I'd...
First, all of Ekigozan's fears about yokozuna promotion were previously expressed by Musashimaru, and you know what happened to him! Second, Jezz is totally...
Hello BS-fellows ! So, Ekigozan has some questions about the promotion to the highest rank. With the last experience (i.e. : Gernobono-zeki), we -the YDC- saw...
... True, but wouldn't it be great fun to give it your utmost to try and remain at the very summit of Bench Sumo for as long as you can? That it itself would...
... Someone has finally reached the pinnacle of Bench Sumo, so why are we giving him a hard time rather than calling for changing the rules that make promotion...

I say you have no choice but to take it. You're good enough to stay at the top. I don't see any alternative. you made the criteria. there is no such thing as...
... Ekigozan, the answer seems to be "it's just a game". Therefore, having thought about it, I would like to suggest you acept the promotion. If you find...
... FWLIW, I think that the Yokozuna should be aloud to stay as long as (s)he likes. If they were to get 5 or 6 MK's in a row it's likely they would Intai on...

Well...my two won/yen/cents is this: as the formerly erstwhile and current gyoji for the Quality Award, it does in fact offer more intrigue to that award. It...
Dear BSers, Thankyou to all of you who have voiced an opinion on this Yokozuna debate. I think it is good to discuss these issues so that it is clear to...
Here it is! The new Bench Sumo banzuke for November 2007. Proudly, for the 50th official basho, we will once again have a Yokozuna. I am sure we will all...
Congratulations, and I hope you'll "teach" to other players how playing to become yokozuna. ;) (Please, don't try soccer in Summer or horse-riding... :P) Best...
I heartily offer you my CONGRATULATIONS and look forward to seeing you at the top of the banzuke for many basho to come. Sherlockiama P.S. Could you teach me...
... In fact, Yokozuna Ekigozan did give some lessons about improving at Bench Sumo in the past. Join the North Pole Ichimon and we will share his wisdom with...
Hello dear BS-fellows, I would make some comments about the Kyûshû basho banzuke. As oyakata, I protect my comrades. Thus, I know how it's a hard thing to...
Hi all, A very quick response as I should be going to work. The banzuke is made by three players. I outlined the steps as to how it is created in an email...
Thank you Jejima for you explanations, it's clear now in my mind, and I think in many minds. All my apologies for having posting instead of sending you a...
... accept my promotion to Yokozuna.<ץ Great!! Now that you fell for that, get ready to have your ass kicked!! Kinboshi, here I come!! And, BTW, good...
... I think it's a no-brainer, too. But my likelihood of reaching such a rank is currently in the negative numbers. The ever revered and whole-y Sock Monkey...
