More site changes -DJ Sith- Dec 30 10:50pm -28 comments-
Howdy kids. I've added a few things to the site for you to play with:

1) Smileys! :) :P :jj: - About 11 smileys are available. right now you'll have to type in the code to get them in your comments and forum posts. Gimme a few on getting them clickable into your posts. If you wish to not see smileys you can turn that option off in your profile.

2) Comments can now be viewed in ascending or descending order. By default all comments are viewed in descending order, like before, but ya'll can chenge this from your profile pages.

Once I get home I'll work on some of the more important updates you guys have requested on the forums. Take it easy!

Smoothing some tensions... -DJ Sith- Dec 29 03:23am -9 comments-
Theres been some tension between a former staff memeber and some of our instructors recently. Autumn's Rain (aka Yun) asked me to post this on the front page as a public apology for his recent actions within the JA:

I must apologize to cHoSeN-oNe and JumpinJedi, my recent comments have been very rude and unjust. You both are right, I've been much of a jerk since I came back to the Jedi Academy. But I'm not backing down, and not leaving. All I can hope to do ask for your forgiveness and start from scratch.

I do know that you both have earned your rank through hard work, and both have the right to it. I never meant to imply that you didn't. If anything, I didn't earn mine, or rather, maintain it correctly. I became single-minded, and only wanted the reconition I thought I deserved.

I do thank you for completing my script cHoSeN-oNe, I hope you can forgive me for my recent comments towards you. I also want to say sorry to the entire Jedi Academy, I haven't been quite the upstanding player, and have set a bad example. At the time of my lost of rank, I did not deserve it, and it was entirely my fault.

Oh, the reason I was put on the Counsil/Staff, is exactly that... I was interested in only bettering the Jedi Academy... Making friends, and generally making the Jedi Academy a fun place to be at... Not because of a script or anything... And I hope this is what every player at the Academy strives to do.

Merry Christmas to all! -DJ Sith- Dec 25 08:09pm -11 comments-
Merry Christmas from all of us at the Jedi Academy! I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays and spreading good cheer with their families.

Our Next tournament!! -AvALON D`Kana- Dec 24 11:27am -19 comments-
Thats right folks. Thanks to your support and effort at the Thanksgiving Tournament, I have decided to continue this tradition with two more tournaments. The Second one will be given shortly for it is a BIG one and needs fine tuning.

The First will be held on New Years Day(Hopefully we will all be free). A One day only JAC/JAT/JAK tournament. Its basicly this, whoever shows up is in. If We dont have at least 8 then there is no Tournament. The Same rules apply as the last tourney and Audiences are Welcome. So Ill be there with my fellow mates, JJ will bring the Beer and I hope to see you all on the KS server New Years day 2PM EST.

News Briefs! -DJ Sith- Dec 24 04:25am -7 comments-
Howdy kids. We've got a few recent happenings in the 'ol Academy ya'll should know about:


Our Instructor Zero brings you all Christmas cheer with a cool map! This is quite a fancy little number, and I really dig the music and architecture. Shots from the map are here, here, here, and here. Excellent job, Zero! Everyone get this map!


The server pack has been updated again. I dropped a bunch of skins and added some of the newer skins. The file size is now a slightly slimmer 151M (down from 186M). What's up with all these quality skin releases lately? Also my server now run's cHoSeN oNe's Academy Mod. Go to town with the new emotes!


In other JumpinJedi news, our Scotsman mascot turns 20 today. Please give him spankings when you see him on the servers.

Concerning Hobbi... JumpinJedi -DJ Sith- Dec 23 05:10pm -10 comments-
As we all know (or all the informed people that read the forums know :)) JumpinJedi tentered his JAT Resignation. Turns out he was acting spur of the moment and he's back in now. He wanted me to post this message for you guys and gals:

Hey guys, DJ was kind enough to let me do this, so kudos to him!

First of all, I want to clarify my situation. Yes, I quit, and yes, I quit quitting. I was stressed, and made a rather hasty decision. I'm back now, and I’m going to give it 800%. Now see, I’ve been really inactive since October. I have a pretty damn good excuse. I don't actually have JKII. "How did he become a JAT?!" you ask. Well, I guess I just slept with the right people ;)

The story is simple: I moved into my own place with my fiancé, and I didn't have a computer which could handle JKII. But fear not - The computer which I have used for JKII since I bought (AKA downloaded) it will be mine, as a gift from my Dad for Christmas. So there you have it.

Ok, now here's another thing. I know you guys are here to learn, and we need staff to do that. But guys, the JATs and JACs are only human. We do our best to help you guys out, but it's very stressful, especially when we have an angry mob of learners demanding journeyman trials. Go easy on us, guys. Please, remember, we're only human.

Have a very merry Christmas, everyone! Take Care.

Your favorite kilt wearing, long haired metalhead,
-JumpinJedi
