As for the tricks-tips-and tactics from the ninja, im very very used to see (and use them). I have a funny story i quote here:

“You see, sir, this honor thing is a bit different for us. For you, fighting ‘clean’ is your way of ‘honor’ alas, for us, we have had a long tradition of winning, no matter the costs. As for this moment, i noticed you hate to stain your (and others) honor, and eh… you see, we don’t want to get ours dirty by winning ‘honorably’ to you…”
“What the hades you said???”
“It means i have to kick your ass cheating so i don’t ruin the honor of my people!!”
