...because our resident kilt wearer, JumpinJedi, has been promoted (again) to JAT! In all seriousness, JJ deserved this promotion, and we wish him the best of luck and look forward to the wacky classes he'll be teaching. Good job Scotchie! |

This is an event that is going to be amazing. Padawan Huxley and Zero are going to assist me in what is going to be our first JA Tournament. There is no requirement to attend this, however there is a maximum of 40 students that can attend for this. This is for Students ONLY no JATs or JACs will be In the tournament. Leave a comment if you wish to apply. There is a prize however it will be kept secret  The first 40 Applicants will be admited, after that you can wait for the next tournament or be our audience when it takes place. More information will be posted as I get more responses.
P.S. I need at least 20 pple to have a tournament and 40 is the most. The Actual starting date and Time for the Tournament is on Wednesday the 20th of Nov. at 10pm EST. and It ends on Wed the 27th of November. Thank you and lets make this a blast!
Another note:Even if you see we have 40 you can still sign up as backups just in case some of the applicants cant make it, so fill it up people.
NEWS UPDATE:I understand that a few of you cant make it due to time zone constraints. Under the circumstances I tried to think of a time that fits in the middle where we can be there. Im glad to see that you are all excited and eager. To answer afew questions You don't all have to be there the first day. The Tournament is a 7 day thing which starts on Wed. at 10pm and its the same time everyday after that. However to better explain this, I will arrange a meeting on IRC on MONDAY Nov. 18 at 10pm where ALL who are interested will be given the details, rules, and instructions. Im setting this up as best as I can so that we can all attend and have a great time. Please Email me if you have any direct questions. Thank you all.! |

Loaf has moved on to other things in life, leaving the academy behind. He wishes everyone well and apologizes to everyone for being a shmuck. However you can still get in touch with him by going to his forums.

It is a privilege to announce that cHoSeN oNe has earned the right to be called Jedi Master. He has proven himself as an Instructor and an asset to the Academy. Congratulations, buddy. You deserve this. |

The new breed of JAT is here... -doobie- Nov 13 02:29pm -21 comments- |

Going along with what I stated in the post from hell (aka, the State of the Academy Address), we've promoted our first two "emergency time" JATs (meaning that they didn't have to go through the normal Knight process, not that they're temporary... I have a feeling these two are permanent). It is a tremendous honor and privilege for me to present to you two of the finest people the Jedi Academy has to offer:
I know everyone here has a tremendous amount of respect for these two, so please, congratulate them, welcome them, and give them slack as they adjust to their new positions. Oh, and in case you were wondering if we are done with the promotions... we're not... Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel. NOTE: for those of you who are getting your panties in a bundle about the fact that these two are my friends, you need to get over it. They earned their promotions fairly. So if you have a problem with it, either take it up directly with me (in ENGLISH) or take your complaining elsewhere. |

I found a banana today. I was happy about this. Then I found this carrot. This made me angry. I hate carrots. Then I found this magikal land. They call it "The Matrix Room". Very pretty, I like the tile in the 3rd column and 4th row from the left of the entrance... It's special you know... Then there was this bad man who took his lightsaber thingy and cut my banana in half... I was very angry at this. Then again, I still had a carrot... So I tossed it at his head and dissapeared in a flash of green light.. Sucker
Hey y'all... In light of Ulic Belouve's journal, I've decided to start one of my own, Depicting my life(slightly altered) in the Jedi Academy Map.. That was the first entry I just thought I'd leave a note here for all you awesome people... I'm doing fine... Just lurking around in the background, watching silently... I hope your all having a fun time in the academy, and remember... ROCK ON DUDES (Just a note, that was just a joke, I am starting a journal, but it's actually going to be serious  ) |

State of the Jedi Academy Address -doobie- Nov 09 06:52pm -65 comments- |

::adjusts microphone and waits for rousing standing ovation to settle::
Ladies and gentleman of the Jedi Academy, it is I, your leader, massadoobie, here to present to you the state of the Academy. Well, the last couple days have been rather interesting, to say the least. Going back to when L-Rod left, there's been a lot of stuff going on, some of it good, some of it bad. On the good side we've had a few promotions in the trainers ranks (Zero to Mentor, Avalon to Council), cHoSeN-oNe becoming Supreme Chancellor (although the dark side clouds his future... , we've launched our learner and journeyman trials (and finally gotten the site updated to match), we've added another Huxley server, and we've taught a lot of good people civility and skill.
On the bad side, there have been entirely too many arguments lately. Students fighting with students, students fighting with trainers, trainers fighting with trainers, all sorts of stupid petty crap. It's time to put a stop to all of this. From now on, if any JACs or JATs see you arguing without even trying to set your egos or whatever aside to settle the argument, you will receive a warning. Yes, that seems strict considering you only get two warnings, but to be honest, all this fighting is over stupid stuff. Also, the Council and the Trainers will be having a meeting tomorrow to discuss, amongst other things, trainer conduct. I know this is a big concern for a lot of you, and it is for us as well. Furthermore (don't you love those connecting words you learned in English class?), we're in the process of analyzing the ranking structure to see if we can improve things. Although sometimes it may not seem like it, we do read almost all of the comments made on newsposts and sent to us via email, and there have been a lot of good ideas tossed about. Our job now is to take those ideas, mold them so that they can apply best to the JA, and implement them (quickly). A few things for everyone to look out for. We're going to be having new JATs very soon. Six JATs just isn't enough. We're also going to be doing the aforementioned ranking structure changes... more details on that when we actually have them. Knight trials will be coming soon as well (although remember that you have to be recommended by a JAC or JAT to receive a knight trial). Someday, eventually, hopefully, Derelict Crusader will finish the Jedi Academy Map, version 2.0. To finish this off, I'd like to make a plea to all of you. One of the main objectives when we started the Academy was to have a place where maturity and respect would reign above all else. For the most part I feel as though we've acheived this objective. I have been truly impressed by the maturity level, civility, and respect a majority of our members show towards one another. However of late that has been missing a bit. What I would like is for every member of the Academy, from the Council on down through to the newest Initiate, to take a look at themselves and how they treat the other members. If you see yourself treating others without the respect that they deserve as people (even if you don't personally respect them), then you have two choices. One, you can (and I recommend this) try and fix your attitude towards others and see if you can turn the other cheek and treat everyone with respect. Or two... You can leave the Academy. It's that simple. To be honest, we don't want you here if you're going to be rude, disruptive, ego-driven, or disrespectful to ANYONE (and that includes everyone, including our favorite Scot JumpinJedi... I point out his name only because he seems to be a lightning rod for trouble... some of it deserved, some of it not. But he's a prime example of someone who has turned the other cheek (most of the time) and whom a lot of others must turn the other cheek about). Along the same lines, I must make an apology to anyone I offended with my post about the Knights Council earlier. Although I didn't mean it negatively when I said some people wanted power they didn't deserve, I can see how people could misconstrue that as being a slap in the face. So to those people, I'm sorry. Members of the Academy, we have a great thing going here. Lets try to keep it that way. Feel free, as always, to email the Council email account (fixtheja@hotmail.com) if you need anything. Also, feel free to leave us comments on this news post. See you on the servers! ::walks out quickly before anyone wakes up from trying to read this long post:: |
