The Jedi Academy

Greeting to All the New Members -Buzz- Dec 20 06:48pm -11 comments-

I would like to take a moment to welcome all the new people who have been applying to the academy recently, be it by just finding the place or seeing the article in the UK PC Gamer.

As new members, please be sure to consult the Holocron for any questions you may have, and also to read the Rules. Also a few other things to remember:

Only one application per person. Don't send 2 or 3 with different game names to use, you can edit your single account. Also if you never received a confirmation e-mail of your application, take a moment to check to see if your account was actually approved by searching for your name or trying to log in. If not, wait at least a week before trying to apply again.

If there is more than one person using the computer to join in your home, be sure to have them also apply and comment how they are related to you.

Once again welcome and I hope you enjoy your time at The Academy.

	Brothers and Sisters, Welcome home! -Virtue- Dec 17 11:36pm -48 comments-
	Thank you all for your patience and support. I love you all! Welcome Home!

	Home, sweet home... -Virtue- Dec 15 11:51pm -43 comments-
	Friday the 17th December, at 11:00pm GMT, we're all moving. We're gonna move to a better place. In short, v2 will be released at that time on Friday. Come for the launching party, we'll have a blast.

Classes Starting up again -Virtue- Dec 04 05:20pm -10 comments-

Class cleanup week officially ended yesterday.
You may now start enrolling and attending the new Classes listed on the Classes page.

Just a few reminders about Classes;

If you enroll for a Class, please make the effort to actually show up. If you find that you cannot make a Class after you have enrolled, please remove yourself from the class roster to allow another Student to take your place.

Please show up to your Classes on time, if not - a little earlier. Lateness of more than 10 minutes to any class will no longer be tolerated.

Do not come to Classes if you know that you are going to be afk for longer than 5 minutes at any given time.

Please make an effort to be respectfull in the Classes you choose to attend, do not hinder the learning of others and do not cause disruptions. Including;

These are the very basics of Class rules, anything else is really just common sense - If you know it's going to upset someone, then don't do it.
Should you break any of these rules, you will be kicked from the Classes Server. If you attempt to rejoin the Server after you have been kicked while the Class is still in session, you will be banned from the Classes Server until furthar notice.

Enroll for your Classes, have fun, be respectful and everyone will get what they want out of it.

Happy learning, everyone.

Current Server Situation -Orion- Dec 01 03:47am -22 comments-

So as some of you have noticed the damage and blocking systems have seen some changes over the past few days. That reason being, as some of you know the damages have always been an issue since JK:JA was released. The short and sweet answer to this, is majority of mod developers used Free tools that are widely avaiable to linux user to make the files. While Raven used a different tool to make the files for the linux JK:JA.

So with that said, I have now compiled JAR using those tools that Raven used. Virtue and Luke Skywalker have both tested the MOD and have given their approval that these settings are BaseJK, which is what JAR is suppost to be. Wireplay is fine, but Home and Classes have to be a bit tweaked, as they do not run Linux nativly, they run the linux files through a compatibility layer which we must set the damage scale to .55 to get it at basejk.

I apologize for having you guys play with wacky damages for so long, but I wanted to fix this issue once and for all. On that note, JAR 1.4 should be release in about a week.

Double w00t!! -Virtue- Nov 30 07:02am -15 comments-

This is one of those awesome Double Celebration news posts.

First off, a warm congratulations are in order for Illian D'Kana, who passed his Trial for the rank of Jedi Knight a few days ago. Illian greatly impressed those who were at his Trial and we welcome him into the fold. Congratulations, Illian.

Next, we should all jump for joy, as the lovable Leif returns to the rank of Jedi Instructor. Welcome back Leifeh!

So now you guys have two profiles to spam, go go go!!

Class cleanup week -doobie- Nov 29 12:46am -5 comments-

This week we're running our regular class cleanup week. That means, for the next week, no classes will be running as the JAKs, JATs, and JACs (well, Virtue) clean up the classes list and do some reorganizing. Starting a week from tomorrow, we'll have brand new classes with better descriptions, new times, and more options for you to choose from.

And if you're just coming here after reading about us from the PC Gamer UK article, welcome! Take this week to join IRC, read our rules and how the Academy works, chat on the forums, and get to know everyone!

Server Cleanup -Virtue- Nov 26 01:06am -10 comments-

I have been doing some cleaning in both our Servers base folders and the cfgs. I have fixed quite a few Server gameplay bugs.
I have basically wiped the CFGs clean and rebuilt them using the basejka default settings.
All should now be as it should be.

Also, all Server Passwords and login Passwords have been changed, you will need to check out the Servers page to retrieve the new Server info.

Carry on - and enjoy!

	TIT3 Champion! -doobie- Nov 25 08:55pm -17 comments-
	After some GREAT duels earlier today against Squibit, I am pleased to announce that Sfire has won the 2004 Thanksgiving Invitational Tournament and the scale hilt replica! The Academy should be proud of both, they've shown how great the Academy is! Congrats to both of you!

TIT3 Finals! -doobie- Nov 25 12:06am -12 comments-

On a brighter note, the TIT3 finals are here, and right on time too! I've recieved word from my homegirl Smilykrazy that Squibit (he of PC Gamer UK article fame) and Sfire have reached the finals and will battle mano a mano to the death for the treasured (mini) hilt! Hopefully they'll let us know when the match is scheduled for so we can post the time here and get lots of people to watch!

NEWS FLASH!!!

THIS JUST IN! Sfire informs me that he and Squibit will (hopefully) engage in Mortal Kombat Thursday, November 25, 2004 (that's today) at noon PST, which is GMT -8, so all you non-americans get to watch during primetime! Be there on the Home server (and then on the Wireplay server, to make it fair) or be orion (even worse than being square!)
