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. This post was edited by MOTREC on Oct 07 2005 12:01am. |

Do you realise this community is just over three years old, guys? Cut our JAK+ some slack. They do this in their own time, and they do it for FREE. Just think about that for a moment. Done? Put yourself in their shoes. Of course they're going to get pissed off occasionally. Remember that. _______________ You are not your f***ing system specs.

bahhhh, whats the point, he left on his own. he knew that if he walked that line it led straight outta here, but it is happening more cuz the game has gone sour and there is just so much you can do before you toss it to the side but there is a lot of elitism for an organization that bans recruiting, only forums I go to where you can't recruit are clan forums, this isn't a clan yet it has ranks, its scary DJ, you seem pretty cool, you have humor and you use it well, and you can and have been quite decisive even though you probably have a big procrastination streak in ya. I dig it, I am right there with ya. i've been werkin on the family site for far too long and haven't published anything yet. Bo is right, there is an aura of fear that is developed under this kind of leadership, we start to feel that we don't matter, that we must be very careful even to the point that we might not say what is on or minds in order to avoid being seen in a poor light by the all powerful Knights Trainers Masters and Council I just want to have fun, thats what everyone here wants. I prolly won't post in here again unless I feel i need to defend myself. Peace _______________ “Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics.

I think we all need to take a deep breath here. 1st off lets not rain on Motrec's parade. Jacen's a friend of his and Mo' is trying to send him off in style. 2nd: Vee For: You're correct. This isn't a democracy. It likely never will be. Can you imagine how this place would run if it's run by comittee?  Take the voices in this thread as an example. All these opinions and the place would grind to a halt.3rd: I like Jacen. I think he's a good guy. He's one of the best staff members we've had. I can't recall if he left before the purge or not, but that is irelevent. If he has an axe to grind thats fine. Anyone here can come talk to me and I'll do my best to fix whatevers troubling you. Jacen didn't do that. He posted a thread calling us at the top Nazis. That was stupid if he intended to not get banned by what he posted. I talked to him after all this went down. We discussed it and we both know where we stand. I still think highly of Jacen and still think hes one of the best staff members we've ever had. I got some insights from him that I'll address with the rest of the staff. 4th: Those know me IRL probably know that I swear like a sailor. I personally have no problem with swearing. But people tell me they bring their kids here. So in an effort to keep this place kid friendly we try and limit the bad words around here. I'm not going to lock this thread. Discuss this all you want. _______________ My car is made of Nerf. |

The trouble is setementor, Is the JAC and you and whover else mistake voicing one's opinion for a bad attitude. Really, since I've been here, Ive been warned by many members who not to say anything even slightly off-color to, and they've all been JACs or JAT's or whatever you guys call them. It seems to me that they themselves possess a bad attitude, and are extremely judgmental, as well as unwilling to hear out the views of anyone other than themselves. Now normally, this wouldnt work, however, there are too many subordinates here who are willing to do anything to stay in good graces with the higher ups. You'll find this funny, I was called disobedient by one of the JA members. I never laughed so hard in my life. This is a game, and if any of you are OBEDIENT to anyone online, then you should get serious help. Obedience is for children, dogs, and enlisted men. The arguement about swearing, the jaks say that people are unintelligent, cant put together correct sentences and need to swear to make up for linguiatic or mental deficiancies, that's absurd. However, like all other threads that are even slightly provacative, this will no doubt be closed, and punishments handed out, for the JA is not a place to be treated as equal people, but rather, to have the will of a few imposed on the lesser many. _______________ I know whats been troubling you......

I can tell you guys that all of these recent bans have been with good reason. They chose to break rules and push their luck despite any warnings. It wasn't a case of just banning people who weren't liked. As far as swearing goes, even if you're likely to hear it a lot, I personally prefer not to hear it used all the time. One of the many things that makes this the community it is, is the respect and great attitudes many of us have. If I walked into a place that was full of swearing, I'd get a bad impression of it. So although I may agree that most of us know and will hear such words throughout our lives, it's not such a nice thing to hear used all the time, at least for people like myself. |

Ok, I totally failed at making my point there! Let's try again! n_n Sometimes, complete and utter bluntness isn't always appropriate. In my line of work, it could get me put in prison!  It's all fine and well, as long as civility isn't compromised. People aren't banned from the JA for no reason. Trust me, i've been around for a very long time. |

I wouldn't know about much pre-purge, didn't really pay attention to the ranks, the purge came about the same time as I finished up some night school, now that I have time in the evenings I have no oppurtunity. oh and I haven't flamed anybody, yet. I am quite good at that and wouldn't here cuz I don't need to be fitted for anyones virtual boot on a gaming site. _______________ “Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics.
