A note about knighthood. -DJ Sith - Dec 04 11:37pm

Just to clear up a few things... since Knights get limited access powers to help keep the peace there are quite a few things we look at when marking a Journeyman as Knight eligible. We nominate those that we are positive are responsible and respectable. Skill comes in a distant second on this aspect of Knighthood. We don't nominate people who we know are distespectful. We also don't nominate people we don't know. This isn't an overnight thing. It will take some time for us to get to know you (and for you to know us). We only nominate those we are absoluetely sure of in terms of resolve and maturity to handle their new responsibilities. To re-iterate: we don't nominate people we don't know or don't know well.

Ok enough lecture.. carry on! :)

hey, jw, but is the knighthood a take off of being a "gentleman" or a "lady"?
Im just wondering, because it seems to be very similar... well, a knight from the middle ages :P

Ulic, if you did do that, you would become a hippocrit... WHICH IS MY JOB!!!!
But anyway, Ulic, you said it in one of your lessons; Patients. we can all benefit from it. Also, you said (unless I am mistaken) that you should just use Q-Tracker or somethign like that, and wait till there are two JAT's on, and ask for a trial then... thats all i have to say
May the force be with you, and good luck

So is there a magical trick to getting the JATs neccessary to hold a trial? I e-mailed 4 JATs to try and set something up, and sent it 5 days before the proposed trial date. I have still heard little back from anyone.

And I am not going to resort to dropping into servers and typing:
HUXCANIHAVEMYKNIGHTTRIALPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!!!!!!

Feh.


(Later edit: OK, so this isn't really me and I wrote at a bad moment. But I will not delete this, because we all need to recognize our bad moments and learn from them. And otheres can learn from my bad moments also.)

Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace.

but how should we get to know to you, DJ? there are no EU JACs! and most JATs are american too, so EU members have a great disadvantage, if you ask me :(

here's my advice to all the wannabe jaks out there: just be helpful and respectful, and get yourself noticed.. and check your trials page from time to time. that's all you gotta do.

hey dj, can i know who nominated me?

So it's not based upon a system of voting of several JAT's? And after a nomination or comment has been placed on your profile by a JAT, is it then that you receive the written part of the exam? Just wondering...

Do I have to ask a JAT to see if I'm good enough, or do you guys just look who is good enough.

A single JAT nominates someone. While your exam is being reviewed we discuss your case for knighthood.
