ja and me...

it might not be a sad day for SOME people, but for me its a pretty sad day. for those of you who dont know jacen aratan too well, he's not all of what he has been made out to look like. he is a person that believes greatly in what he deems right and has the guts to back it up without worry of consequences. I mean really, no good deed goes unpunished.

He was the first face i saw at the ja and he helped me set myself up at the ja without looking down on me one iota. I was the worst ja n00b the ja has ever seen, jacen didnt care, he took me under his wing and taught me all he could and found the right people to talk to when he didnt know something. he was a fantastic friend, mentor, and teacher. not to mention deadly with guns (ctf) he was always there for me, i know he still is there for me but there are alot of people who are gonna miss out on "jacen style" ja.

there are some who have trouble accepting people for who they are, i can understand this, its the other things these people do i dont understand. im not gonna point fingers, but to those of you who know who you are, know that you probably will never get the chance to clank beer mugs with MO cuz i dont hang with people who "hide"

jacen i dont agree with the premice you left under but i salute the balls it took to make that post and express yourself your way. I speak for me and the ts crew when i say "OMFGH4X JACEN, YOU TOTALLY PWN AND WILL ALWAYS PWN!"

for those of you who didnt get to meet jacen and just hang out with him you have my sympathy. jacen aratan, MO will miss you alot brother, know that well. I for one will feel the loss.

Excellent post.

Jacen was a quality guy and a great friend. Jacen and I had many arguements over the course of his stay here, but always had a respect between us that the newer members here seem to lack.

I would have to agree with Carvonus' & MOTREC's last posts. Everyone makes a slip-up from time-to-time, Jacen just made one and was reprimanded for it (as he should have been).

<rant>
Lots of the people in this thread need to stop sucking their thumbs, and grow up. At the end of the day, this is a GAME, and nobody cares about your little tantrums and demands. If you don't like the place - leave. If you do like this place - stay. But for crying out loud, you newer people, don't pretend to be smart and know everything - because you don't. Get the facts before ranting about everything.

I don't think he was really into sabers, at least when you joined. Although, you may have caught him the odd few times he seemed to visit the servers. :D

I have seen alot of useless stuff said in this thread so far. Everything from it's members being stuffing without worth, to random slaps and personal attacks.

It scares me to see so many new folk getting this rilled up about stuff when they do not have clue one as to how things have been in the past.

Now the whole situation that lead to Jacens post was an ugly affair to say the very least. Rules were bent/broken on both sides and I belive both have come to regret past actions. What bothers me is that a group of people have come to validate that one incident as being the main wrong in the JA.
At best it was a slip up, and seeing as we are all human I can see that happening from time to time.

When I sat down and wrote the rules from this place I intended them to be followed by everyone. They are a guide to an ideal situation if you will. It will not be uplived 100% of the time, I understood that of course. But they are a goal to which one can strive.

I really do hope the intence debate over ethics and the like can calm down and we can use this thread as it was intended by Motrec.

-[Jacen]-
You were by bud from day 1 man. Being that we both live so close and that you are a crazy little bugger.
We didn't see eye to eye in the ranks, but we had alot of fun in our disagreements as well. I hope I'll ruun into you soon again online. Don't be a stranger pal.

what happened to aratan? motrec, your still a n00b stfu. man...these computers need to have JA on them. i cant wait till i get my crap from the states.

HEY YOU GERMANS IN THE JA. WHY DONT YOUR INTERNET CAFE COMPUTERS HAVE ANY GAMES ON THEM? WTF.

um. just wait till i get back. just wait. nobodys leaving the JA. im putting my foot down. and thats that.

listen.

i was really active around here for a while. we had alot of problems. with the admin, students, and pretty much everything. but it always worked out. because the people in charge know what their doing. this isnt some fking clan you join to prove that your a badass. you sleep in the bed that you make damnit.

come here to learn how to play, and then leave. dont stick around the school. its like those 28 year old guys that try to handout with the high school kids at parties and shit. its horrible. if they dont want to give you a positiion as a knight or trainer or whatever, its because your a jackass or they dont need anymore. its not for everybody, its not fun. its not. its like a job that you dont get paid for. and you have to explain to girls that you cant go out at a certain time because you have to teach a class online. and they ask what type of class. and you tell them. and they laugh at you.

i dont even remember wtf my point was. aefölkj

ok im out.

So truth in real life it sickens me how people are kind and nice to hteir 'friends'. Honestly.. strive to treat everyeon eqaul and make the word enemy and friend non existant in your vocabulary, go ahead as me to treat you as my best friend.. of course I would still inform my best friend of things he is doing wrong and tried helping him out and wouldnt just go with what he believed just because 'im his friend'.

If peopel simply treated everyone as a friend, I think THAT would solved most the problems.
