A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Michael Plank. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Plank, he called himself Plankcore. Now, Plankcore, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the JJ that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, like- wise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

They call Edinburgh the City of easily attainable liguor. I didn't find it to be that exactly, but I'll allow as there are some nice folks there. 'Course, I can't say I seen London, and I never been to France, and I ain't never seen no queen in her damn undies as the fella says. But I'll tell you what, after seeing Edinburgh and thisahere story I'm about to unfold--wal, I guess I seen somethin' ever' bit as stupefyin' as ya'd see in any a those other places, and in English too, so I can die with a smile on my face without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me.

Now this story I'm about to unfold took place back in the early nineties--just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the Eye-rackies. I only mention it 'cause some- times there's a man--I won't say a hee-ro, 'cause what's a hee-ro?--but sometimes there's a man.

And I'm talkin' about the JJ here-- sometimes there's a man who, wal, he's the man for his time'n place, he fits right in there--and that's Plankcore, in Edinburgh, Scotland.

...and even if he's a lazy man, and JJ is certainly that--quite possibly the laziest man in the Jedi Academy.

...which would place him high in the runnin' for busiest worldwide--but sometimes there's a man. . . sometimes there's a man.

Wal, I lost m'train of thought here. But--aw hell, I done innerduced him enough.

God forbid we compromise the SW theme. After all, this place has stopped being an 'academy' where people learn how to be better gamers (despite our credo) and more of a place to hang out with people who are interested in SW (or have been members here for a long time... and are interested in SW). It's ok to completely overhaul the way this place works, to sacrifice the structural elements that for over a decade have made this place different from clans, teams, communities and guilds, but god forbid we abandon the SW theme or try to somehow shift our focus on other fringe games.

Let's face it, JKA was a niche game to begin with - despite the apparent activity on the ESL and JA+ servers, it was still puny in comparison to basically every other major title. We never even had tournaments with proper prizes outside of the small, community-based/restricted stuff akin to TIT3. The ESL never introduced an EPS series for this game because, well, it just wasn't big enough. Other PC exclusive sword-fighting games will be pretty much just as fringe-y and I don't see anything wrong with that.

But oh hey there's TOR, right? SWG came and went, but TOR -has- to stay and we're going to go with it. It's ok that it has absolutely zero resemblence to the JK games, that it is ultimately a big grind fest where skill is more based on knowledge of the game (and ultimately your gear) rather than your ability to perform certain actions. It's ok that it is completely incompatible with the way this place works, because as long as it has the SW theme, we'll go with it. It's ok that there are multiple pretty decent alternatives that are more viable than an MMO, TOR has the support of the people, right? Of the ~14 guys who frequent this place. If they want TOR, everyone's gonna get TOR. Hey, the admins want TOR too, except for Solitude maybe.

SWG had the SW theme, but JKA was still sorta interesting back then and the game ultimately sucked after a few patches.. now that JKA has become boring, we need a different game with an SW theme. MBII was interesting enough, but it was too different, so we had to abandon this place to create a completely new academy somewhere else. I don't see why we can't do that with TOR as well.

All your jokes have been relatively understandable... but now I have to ask...

802.11g Vibrator?

Wouldn't it be easier to make some server-side system and put up a website which controls the vibrator?

Also, general ettiquette on this website is to reply to someone on their profile, since they extend you the courtesy of leaving all of their replies on yours. You'll get there, new kid!
first off, I'm not new here, I've been here for years. I know it's for fun, but I was commenting on the choice of words. To put it simply, I wanted an explanation on what is a dance commander. And I don't want you calling me a kid. I am NOT a kid.
here you are, ON YOUR PROFILE.
