Students selected into JASE are highly respected among the JA by both students and trainers alike. Their job is to help, teach, and maintain. JASE students are always available if a student has a question or if a trainer is in need of an assistant. JASE students are knowledgeable and can share their knowledge in a clear, precise manner.

Just to reiterate what I already reiterated, this is an UNOFFICIAL group run by students for students. The administration is only offering help getting it off the ground, nothing more nothing less. Don't get your panties all in a bundle, if you don't like it you don't have to participate, and don't need to be afraid that JASE members will have some sort of official function in the JA: they won't  _______________ -Academy Leader/Dictator/Defeater of DJ Sith and JACen Solo in the JAK+ Tournament -I do think it (the JA) will help convert dozens, maybe hundreds, to the dork nation... --me |

Jacen: humility is listed under characteristics of excellence. |
|
FaDed - Student

AsoAron: JASE is not to rank students above others. it is to recognize individuals that have what it takes to be called "excellent." |

Exar: if the JAKs were in control, that would eliminate the student to student element of the organization. i do believe that JAK and above should help regulate JASE, to make sure it is running smoothly. but the control should stay in the hands of the students. |

Halendor: thank you for bring up the rules. for the most part, the rules are just a space filler. i don't like how i did them very much, so i would appreciate as much input as possible on that. i want to revise the whole thing. JASE membership is not an official rank and members can not have official padawans. those are priveledges reserved for JAK and above. |

Bubu: i see no reason with having a group of nominators to help out with the commitee selection. i'll see what i can do about that one. |

A thing which should be one of the most important things for the JASE must be humility. If they aren't humble they're nothing more than "1337" players, in the words bad meaning. EDIT: It's a good idea, at least in theory, we can't know how it will work in the end, but be careful, there are MANY traps on the way.

The Jedi Academy Society of Excellence is a division of the Jedi Academy devoted to excellence and those who pursue it. JASE is founded on the belief that students should be recognized for their efforts and abilites. Students selected into JASE are well respected, good mannered, and skilled in all areas of the game Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. Because of these qualites, these students are considered to be the best in the academy and deserving of recognition. JASE also acts as a student government within the JA. Both members and nonmembers of JASE can discuss matters involving student to student matters using the JASE forum. Student opinion guides and directs the progress of JASE. JASE is run by students for students. By allowing students to be seen and heard by those around them, JASE is intended to keep students enrolled in the JA active and happy. |

"8. Always more praise than critique" If you praise too much, praise won't be 'worth' anything anymore, just something like a formality. If someone duels like the back end of a pig, you really should say that instead of "wow, you duel really well, we need to polish a few things though"... I hope this makes sense |

yeah, it could be a good idea, but we shouldnt slowly increase the rankings in the academy again. Although it might not be an "official" rank, people would find themselfs "more special" sooner. This is already the case without the ranks, for some people. Some clarification might be needed indeed  |

yeah you definitely need to clarify the motives and purpose of it a little. _______________ make install -not war |

I think Halendor has a point there. The JASE rank is indeed pretty close to JAK (its kinda just JAK without admin and site rank  ) and could be ran by the JAKs. Also those two point are kinda contradicting eachother. And I thought the JASE was gonna be for students who wouldnt be able to be ingame that much? Developping a spciality and haveing gun and saber skill suggests otherwise.. _______________ -Retired april the 19th 2004 This comment was edited by Lord Exar Kun on Jun 21 2003 09:43am. |

Since this is kind of a step-up to Knight (I think), perhaps the Knights themselves should be in charge of the selection process. And I have a few questions about the rules: "6. Make and keep promises" - You *have* to make promises? That sounds weird... "17. Be skilled in all weapons and game modes 18. Develop a specialty" - I think those two rules contradict eachother. Will JASE student be an official rank in the Academy? Can they accept padawans (officially)? This comment was edited by Halendor on Jun 21 2003 09:34am. |

well how can we be sure that you and your co-founders will do a good job in the selection process. i mean, just because you created the thing, doesn't necessarily mean you are best qualified to choose people for it. shouldn't there be some kind of vote or something to select a few official "nominators" who most people agree on? i'm not saying you guys won't do a good job, i'm just saying i don't know you well and therefore don't know if i can trust you yet. when i say 'I', i mean 'we', because i'm sure more ppl feel the same way in general i like the idea. i'm just not sure about how it should be run in terms of leadership style and roles. _______________ make install -not war This comment was edited by Bubu on Jun 21 2003 09:28am. |

once JASE is officially up and running, my co-founders (Darth Mobility and Jedi Prodigy) will select the commitees. one of which is the selection commitee. i am leaving it up to the selection commitee to develop and run the selection process. so to answer your question jacen, you are selected or "nominated" into JASE. |

Do you get nominated for JASE or do you "just" join? |

i'm thinking this needs to be here: this is a very basic outline of the Jedi Academy Society of Excellence that has been approved by the council and is now ready for the rest of the Jedi Academy. i ask that you all read through it and email me at c.u2@juno.com with your comments, questions, and suggestions. keep in mind that none of the below information is set in stone. please be positive yet critical in your input. i want JASE to be the best possible for all students at the JA. thank you! |

the last part of the outline got cut off. here's the rest of it: JA Name: JASE Position: Date: Servers Played On: Date and Time of Play: JASE Members On: Report of Activities: tags have not been decided upon. most of those nit picky details i'm going to leave up to the commitees and the first couple of students that are selected. the main difference between a JASE student and a JAK is that the JASE does not have admin capabilities. members of JASE are still students and therefore subject to all ranks JAK and above. |

So what should be written in those reports? Will JASE students wear a special tag? What is the difference between a JASE student and a JAK? Just a few questions. I like the idea, although it seems a bit complicated. Structure inside another structure. This comment was edited by Halendor on Jun 21 2003 08:30am. |

just a note: this outline is missing many things that i have written up since i wrote it. so bare with me, i'll make them available as soon as possible. |

I'm missing the purpose. Is it just a tag that lets people know certain people will help them or what? _______________ Jedi Academy Holocron http://jaholocron.ryanmh.com/ Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government. |

yes MoS. they should be. but just like not all students are the right stuff for JAK and such, not all are qualified for JASE. |

Shouldn't all students do that anyways? _______________ Jedi Academy Holocron http://jaholocron.ryanmh.com/ Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government. |

whoa. that's quite a responsibility. I guess I could offer myself as a Student of it. I hope many of you know who I am and know how I play and interact. If any are offended by me i'm quick to appologize, even if it was by a jest. So guess I could offer myself as a Student of it, unless someone nominates me as a different position.. _______________ .Lag Bro to Xanatos. Adopted Twin to Bubu.
