Let me attempt to clearthis up. I know very well a Ronin is a masterless samurai and that therefore a Ronin could not possibely be part of the kingdom. And that is exactly why i instituted the rank. People who wanted to join the kingdom were given a Ronin title. At this point they werent members of the kingdom yet, but have the samurai tag for communication purposes and roleplay purposes. (thos being that the person was now "living" on the samurai island, but not part of the military or government. When a clan decided to recruit this ronin, he would then be given a military rank.
