Chiss me my dear! -Hardwired- Mar 10 03:08pm -13 comments- |
|
We have something new added to our servers now. Dane pointed me to a chiss, male and female, custom model pack. Basicly two new subgroups with Chiss where you would normaly make a bit by bit custom player model. And it's very well done. Top quality. I highly recommend you downloading it and having a look.
For now there will be a link here in the news post. Later it will also be linked under each respective server. Get the pack here! Enjoy. |

PSA: Daylight Savings -Buzz- Mar 08 02:34am -6 comments- |
|
Just a reminder that Daylight Savings Time begins this coming Saturday night in the US. Its starting earlier than normal this year so watch you computer's clock to make sure it has the right time. Older computers might not update on their own this early.
I am not sure when DST begins in other countries but usually they tend to be different so just keep an eye on your time. Feel free to use this thread to post a comment to make sure you have your proper time on the website for where you are. Staff members, for your classes make sure that the time is when you want it to be. I would also recommend putting a comment in your class so people are certain that their time is right. For instance, if your class begins at 4:00, leave a comment in there for instance at 2:00 with the text "My class begins 2 hours from the time I posted on the proper day." Have a JAC perm it and hopefully all this will cut down on previous issues we've had of mixed up times. |

And after a very long wait... -Virtue- Mar 01 06:20pm -68 comments- |
First off, I'd just like to thank everyone who came to the Prom and helped us make it a totally fantastic evening (twice). The servers were totally packed! JK3 Home got overloaded and the party spilled over to JK3 Classes - it was awesome. 
Big love and thank you to SilkMonkey for helping to organise the event and for building this year's prom map. <3 Huge thank you also to our JA Radio DJs who made this year's prom what it was! - Zeke, SilkMonkey and Gregwarro. You guys rock our socks! As some of you may or may not know, we had a pretty productive JAK+ meeting last Saturday, just before the prom and there are a few changes in store for the JA. One of the most noticable will be how Classes are taught and run. Expect an update sometime next week on exactly what's going on.
Now, for the next announcement - seeing as we seem to be doing things that haven't been done in years and having alot of fun with them, I may aswell let you guys know that I've finished v3.
It's going to be released this Saturday (3rd March) at around 8:00pm GMT. We'll all meet in IRC again while I get the Servers and links set up and I'll broadcast the download link in there first, then we'll all head on over to whatever Server we like and check it out.
Thank you all for your patience while I've been building it, I really appreciate it... I really hope it lives up to the hype... I'm actually pretty nervous about releasing it. 
Ah well... VIVA LA ACADEMIA!! |

Radio Reminder -Virtue- Feb 23 03:31pm -3 comments- |

Just to let you guys know that the prom is tomorrow evening and we only have two DJs for the entire event (myself included).
In order to maximise the length and fun of the prom, it's important that we have more to carry us through, as myself and the other DJ will eventually tire out. 
So once again, if any member of the JA wishes to DJ at the prom, please read the requirements on this thread (barring the activity requirement for this event), and contact me ASAP. We only have a short amount of time to do preparations, so please apply now. No DJs, No decent prom. |

Prom 2007 - JA Radio Stress Test -Virtue- Feb 19 04:41pm -10 comments- |
|
Okay guys, as you know, the prom music is all going to be done via DJs and JA Radio this year, so that means for the first time in ages, we'll have ALOT of people connected to JA Radio whilst being on the Servers at the same time.
I know it's really short notice, but I want to do a stress-test of JA Radio when I get home from work, just to make sure we dont' have any problems on Saturday night. So please, I want to ask as many of you as humanly possible to connect to JA Radio today(/tonight) at 8:00pm GMT - I'll do a show, I'll get one or two co-hosts (maybe you ) to talk with me, I'll play music that you request and I'll host some TeamSpeak competitions like I did a few weeks ago (all of you that were there for that found it absolutely hilarious and have asked for me to do it again, so I see this as an ample excuse).
I'll also be hosting some small server tourney/competitions to test Radio/Server stability (Like I did when Ven was my co-host a while back). It's quite important that we get this stress test done if we want the prom to go smoothly, the last thing we want is to launch the prom on Saturday and end up not having any music... that would really suck. So please, PLEASE get connected tonight and listen/participate for a while, you'd be helping me and everyone else involved in making the prom a really fun event for you all greatly. Thank you all, you rule! |

The Jedi Academy Presents: Prom 2007! -Virtue- Feb 18 12:57pm -27 comments- |
Wow, it seems like a really long time since I've made a news post with the word "Prom" in the title... and it has been. The last one was in 2004! 
But yes, we've (finally) managed to get around to finilising plans for a prom this year! As usual, good 'ol SilkMonkey has got most of it organised and has even built this year's prom map (Wooo!!). So here it is: This year's prom will be held on Saturday, 24th February - 2007 at 9:00pm GMT. (Yes, that's in one week!) And will end at around midnight GMT, Monday morning, so you have all weekend to get there! As is custom with new maps/events etc. we'll all gather in the main #jedi-academy channel in IRC and the link to download the map will be first broadcast in there before making it here in the news. Now, the difference between this prom and any other prom we've had before is that the map will not include any music at all... nope. This year, we're going to do it all via JA Radio!
That means we'll get a vast variety of music to listen to while we party down on the Servers.
So I'd like to take this opportunity to direct your attention to this thread. We need DJs! If you'd like to be a DJ for the prom, use that thread to get your applications to me ASAP!! (Please, we really need DJs )
If you fancy your hand at being a DJ but don't feel confident that you know what to do, don't worry, you will be trained in the use of broadcasting software and be given a test run before the prom. Please, PLEASE try to make the effort to be there, it'd be a great excuse to boost activity for a while. And all that is required of you is to download a (very small file sized) map, tune into JA Radio, jump onto the servers and have alot of fun!
And if that wasn't enough to turn your heads - the_academy_v3 will be released the week after.
WOOOOOOO!!!!! PARTEH!!!! |
