Hi! -doobie- Aug 27 09:28pm -30 comments- |

Hello everyone, it's your benevolent dictator here. Just wanted to say hello since I haven't been around much. I just got a new job which takes up a ton of time, and to be honest, there's not a lot of JA work that needs me at this point. As far as my status here is concerned, I don't plan on leaving, but my roles in the day to day activities of the Academy are pretty much non-existent. I consider myself somewhat of an advisor at this point (with veto power and a really really big JAC stick to swing around when I feel like it) but also consider this place my baby and wouldn't want to completely leave unless I'm the last one left and am turning off the lights. On that note... I feel we've reached a point where things are pretty much stable. We all know the JK:JA and JK2 will get old for everyone (as I know they've gotten old for a lot of us), but rest assured, we'll be here throughout it all. Hopefully we'll get a new Katarn/Jedi Knight game at some point, but even if we don't, we've set up the kind of community that transcends the games themselves (and ya never know, maybe we'll support other games some day, or even become a Pokemon Academy or something. Whatever you want  ). We love to get ideas though, so if you want to use the comments on this thread to give us some sweet ideas and ways to spark the community, feel free. But as we move into old age (and yeah, we're old as far as communities like this come, and we even had our mid-life crisis when we reorganized!), we'll still continue to support and thrive whoever wants to hang out with us, learn how to be better gamers and people, and kick it old school like we do. Werd. Viva La Academia! |

Dane deserves a huge pat on the back and many, many congratulatory comments both here and on his profile for being the latest addition to the Jedi Knight rank. His performance in his Trials was very impressive and we're very, very pleased that he is now among our hard-working staff. Congratulations, Dane. You've earned this and truly deserve it!!  |

UPDATED: Another JAC Q&A Session -Virtue- Jul 05 06:53pm -7 comments- |

The last one seemed to go pretty well, but we've gotten to the stage again where things seem to be going a little bumpy. There has been alot of discussions/debaits arguments over things such as exploits (what are they? And what is the JA's stance on them?), the mod being in it's current state, people breaking the rules etc. We've had alot of cases recently where people will simply try to push their luck with the ranked members, either to simply see how far they can go, find loopholes in the Rules, or even to openly question authority here at the JA thinking that it is their right to do so. Many, many things will be straightened out in this Q&A session and it will all be based around the questions that you ask and the input that you give. Since the last JAC Q&A Session, things have started to unfold nicely, the staff purge is over and the ranks are building back up again. I'm sure you will all have questions about things such as the mod, exploiting, the rules, JAK+ responsibility, how to become a Jedi Knight, this year's JA prom, the_academy_v3 and basically anything that revolves around the JA. If it's important or not, you ask it and we'll answer it. The Q&A Session will be held; Saturday 9th July at 6:00 pm GMT in the main #jedi-academy IRC channel. It's not mandatory that you attend and a session transcript WILL be posted up afterwards in case you miss it. However it will benefit you if you do attend, so if you can, please try to be there. EDIT: Here's the log of the Q&A session. Thank you to all who showed up and asked their questions. |

Weee! Everyone go congratulate 3th, who has also managed to overcome the grueling hardships of the Trials and get promoted to Jedi Knight! Congratulations, 3th. We all knew you had it in you. Welcome back to the rank of Jedi Knight, my friend. I, for one am thrilled you've done it. |

UPDATED: Virty needs your help! -Virtue- Jun 21 02:02pm -3 comments- |
I'm starting to concept a new JA map. So if you guys would be so kind as to make a post or two (or ten.  ), then I would really appreciate it. Thank you all. EDIT: The thread has been moved from the Academy Discussion Forum to this new Forum. Carry on. |

The first of the new... -Virtue- Jun 17 10:32am -33 comments- |

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to announce that we have our very first Jedi Knight since the staff purge. Everyone please give a huge congratulations to Dash Starlight who passed his Trials today. Well done Dash, personally, I couldn't be more proud of you. It's always something to celebrate when your Padawan makes it to Jedi Knight, and you have been an awesome Padawan indeed. Keep it up, man, I know you'll do us proud! |
