Time for the Anarchy to stop -Aron - Mar 30 07:39am

That's right. Anarchy with a capital A.

Lately, we have have had WAY too many reports about password leaking, laming on the servers, swearing, disbehaving, NPC abuse, guns abuse, and all kinds of other lameness.

It's time for you people (you know who you are) to start behaving.

The Academy staff is known to be pretty "nice" with rulebreakers, even if some of you might disagree with that. In any other community, a lot of offenses that take place here are rewarded with a permanent ban on the spot.

Apparently, that's the only way for some people to start noticing we are serious here.

So you can see this pretty much as a final warning.
In the coming period, the staff will have their eyes open even more than usual, and will pay "special attention" to people breaking the rules. Punishments will no longer be in the "amsleep category".

So basically: knock it off, or be banned.

I said *when I AM on*. But yeah. Don't worry, that'll be changing sometime in the next half hour.

Things take soooo long to compile when you're waiting for them. :(

I agree with motrec, it's hard to keep track of who's next when you stand on the benches. Specially when some persons standing there just want to spec. It ends with the fastest one up on the mat = next duelist.

HURRAY FOR LINES IN FRONT OF THE MAT! *yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaw*

well its quite difficult to be in 'line'
if you are on bench.
its either benches only so you could track ppl whos turn is now
or only Line .
cant be both :/
well on benches the main problem was when someone
tried push or grip on players who come on bench :(

I never said or implied that it should be forbidden to sit or stand on the benches. My point was that those who wanted to duel should stand in the line, and not jump into the duel ring and challenge. as you well pointed out yourself.

The biggest prob I've seen is ( for me at least) is people deciding their gonna duel in a room that being used already. Or firing weapons at u when ur duelin. Some laming but not too much. The prolem I think is that there are some "higher lvl"/well known players that come in and lame ppl. Maybe newer members see this and think its ok.
I'm no Knight but...set an example M8!:D

You probably won't be banned for this (unless this is a pile-up of events), but you certainly won't gain much respect from it, and * DO * risk getting some...well... negative attention from JAK+.

About the waiting in line thing. As long as I have been on wireplay, people who want to duel allways stand in line and those who wants to look sit on the benches. and thats really how it should be. But thats just my opinion.

isn't that what common sense is for?
To be honost when I see people fighting
for spots I challenge somebody else go
to another matrix and have fun there,
most of the time things seem to be
getting along fine and everybody gets turns...

[quoteif im just behind someone its not possible to see the duel properly and looking how ppl duel
is one of the ways to learn ;)

Agreed, but it is a far better way to make sure everyone gets their turn when it is their turn, in stead of someone jumping in your place ...

this may seem minor to all of you but im gonna add this aswell.

it seems that waiting inline to duel on the servers has taken many forms. on wireplay people stand on the side platforms and then run and eek out the slower people. on the home server it seems we have that and waiting in line. the way this usually went down is a line would form between the mat and the door. no place else, not the platforms not around the mat but right in front of it. near the door. this makes it much easier to keep the duels going and noone gets hussled out of their turn. now while i wont ban you for this practice of not lining up this way, i will be seriously disappointed if you donot and will react in kind.

much love guys lets keep things straight and we will all have fun.

I personally will be on the servers almost all day everyday until things start to get back to normal, and I will not hesitate to take action against those who violate the rules. Saying "I didn't know that was a rule" will no longer be an excuse. You agreed to the rules when you signed up, and you'll continue to abide by them for your duration here at the JA. And this isn't directed towards the new members only, I say this to people who have been here longer than I have as well.

Most of you know me, and you know I'm a cool guy and deal with alot of crap I shouldn't, but I'm drawing the line here and now. And I encourage the rest of you to help with this. If you see someone breaking a rule, ask them not to. If they continue, come find me or another JAK+.

I've whitnessed lots of this recently, and it's just...devastating, to see all of the things listed, happen within the last two weeks or so. :(:(

Whether you guys have read them or not already, I'd just like to suggest taking a good read of the Rules.
