Why use only one saber, when you can use two, and double the mayhem?

I think I was looking for some information, and game across The Holocron, which was when I first came to the site. I had a look around the site, but didn't sign up.

Then Demostrike found it and signed up, and told me to, so I did.

The academy was recommended to me (when it had just been created) by my friend (Manto) who told me that he had joined.
I tried to join but just missed out on the joining deadline, so thought I would wait until the next time, but then my computer broke and when I got it fixed I joined my mates new clan.
When that clan went into decline I decided to try and join the academy.
So here I am, 2 years after I originally tried to join :D

I had actually been looking at this site from the very beginning it was made, but, at the time, I was a CTFer and, I had crappy internet connection, which, really didnt make this place look all that fun :P but, a few months later, I joined up :P

I found it because I had been playing against Silent Whisper on the zone for a while, usually getting my butt kicked by her too and she said how she had applied for a trainer position and such and that I should join too. Took some persuasion and here I am.

http://www.jedicenter.com/ They're not around anymore, but it was the only place I knew for skins before I found jkii.net. Anyway, they were talking about here one day, and I visited the old site every once in a while, but finally, it said that they were now accepting student apps. In my app, I even told DJ about where I found out about them, but he hadn't even heard of them. Anyway, here I be, number 545.

Well....

I used to play Quake 2 and SOF with some of my buddies at my old job. I started thinking to myself, "I wish they had a game like this based on Star Wars." Then about 2 weeks later, I was shopping at my local CompUSA and naturally had to stop by the gaming section. One of the games they were demoing was JK2 and I flipped!!! So, naturally, I shelled out the $29.99 + 8.75% sales tax and walked out of the store. When I started playing it, I was amazed!!! The only problem I had was with the sabre. The bots would kick my butt most of the time, even when I had them set on their lowest difficulty setting. I got lucky once in a while by using Blue stance and just randomly hitting the attack button. I got sick and tired of it and started looking for some sort of tutorial on how to improve my sabre-fighting skills, so I fired up some Google-action and then... *cue angel music - ahhhhhh*, I found the JA!
Though I still pretty much suck (more than Gradius even :P), I improved to the point where I can handle the bots on Jedi Master setting.
Not only did I find a place to help me get better, I also found a great bunch of people.

I was playing on this server, and then this guy joined and said a lot of negative stuff about this place. Like they are all newbies and dont know anything about the game. It didnt take me much time to figure out that he actualy didnt tell the truth, or maybe he was angry for some reason - well whatever- So after he had this little speach I tried to find this place. :D
And here I am.

Thats my story

I found it when it wasn't even there yet! I can see into the future!

Nah, actually I "found" it when JediSith999 made a post looking for some help with his new idea for a Jedi Academy. Then he left and DJ joined up and that's when the real fun began

*points to Acey_Spacey*

HIM! It's all his fault! I was actually on mIRC during a radio show's net nite and just mentioned in passing that I had JA...Acey was there and told me about this sic place, and so I wandered along and joined up.
When I got broadband a few weeks ago I started playing online and thought, I should rejoin TJA! So here I am...now I almost never see acey online lol
BUT IT'S ALL HIS FAULT! :D :D
