| The True Meaning of This Place. | |

O'Liin Onasi - Student  |
First and foremost i should state my intent, that everyone in this community should read this. Those of you who actually know me here,will probably say "I cant belive O'Liin is actually saying this!" when in fact this needs to be said. It is time that WE ALL (including myself) stop this childish BULL SH**.I'm talking to mostly every one who as post on the forums in the past month,or anyone who has been involved in the toubles that are occurring(including myself once again). Now I dont have a problem with anyone here.No one.AS I read Grad's post,for the most part,I, agree with every point he makes,,,save one. We are not a clan.We are more a familly.Some here,I,would hold as my brothers or sisters in reall life,and other to be honest, fathers,cousins,aunts,uncles,and mothers. Some may say ,"WTF IS HE TALKING ABOUT!",but those of you who really know what the True Meaning of This Place is,will agree with me whole heartedly. The True Meaning o This Place is not,foolish bickering,,,child like members who try to start trouble,,,admin abusers,,,or highly held members of this place slamming others. It is my belief,that these words might not change everyone's mind.That is not my intent.My intent is to make those newer members see,,,see what this place was,,,what it should be,,,and what it could be.This place WAS a truely meaningfull place.It held moments in sum members lives that will not ever be forgotten.I have memories of this place,that will stay with me forever,and I KNOW that there are others who agree with me fullwith. Now I have been back and forth over writing this,as I believe I may end up being banned ,or shunned by the rest of this place.Now i want to reiterate my point on my possible banning. I dont believe that the JAC's are cruel people who just ban for fun.I mean that they may not like what im saying,and decide that i am not welcome because of my opinion,and I would accept their decision on that,so should it happen.So,,,I have finally chosen to say it.I love this place.I dont want to be banned.I do NOT want to miss out on the goods things that have happened,are happening,and will happen here,but I cant take this any longer.I have chosen that if i am banned then maybe my words will stay.So,,,Please If I am banned because of this,,,PLEASE let this post stay where it is.For all to read. It is time I get to my point.Everyone who believes that this is just a game is plain about wrong.You know who you are.Those of you who say"Stop taking this thing so personally" are F****** idiots. Forgive my harsh words,but you have no idea what his place is about,or perhaps over the months you have forgotten it.So,,,,,let me remind you. Please take this to heart.Everyone who reads this,PLEASE read this and think about before you say anything. The True Meaning of This Place is not the game,it is not the way you train,it is not teh ping,it is not the fps you get,it IS NOT the fact that sum1 said sumthing you dont like. The True Meaning of This Place is,,,,,the communication we have with each other.It is the involvement,the diverse cultures interacting peacfully while the world around us is at war with ITSELF. It is a safe haven for those who cant get along with that world all the time,or even any of the time,or for those who just need to releash a bit of the usual life we all have. It is most importantly this.The very interaction,between each other.The very fact that any could come here and be welcome. No matter who they are in life,or what they are called,or whether they are shunne by this world or familly or friends,or even themselves.This is the only place I know of.It is also,just as important as anything,NOT a group of ppl who cant get along,IT IS HOWEVER the only place i know of that has alomost every creed,race,gender,and culmination of locations,all bundelled into one very (I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH)WONDERFULL COMMUNITY. So Please,please, for the sake of every brother and sister here.Let us stop this,and continue on in the truest meaning of this place. -----------O'Liin Onasi _______________ Comments Owned- Darth Mike's100th.

while i feel a bit envious that you had a chance to meet with a lot of fellow JA'ers, i must say that when i joined and for a year afterwards - this place was my home (and i guess it still is in a way). you will say that it wasnt as active, there werent as many cool people etc. but there were! i found lots of them. At first yes - they were only gaming buddies, but after that i often caught myself chatting with them about RL problems more often than about JKA. so, you must understand that while activity wasnt as good when i joined - it still was decent (unlike now ofcourse). which means people of my era enjoyed everything as much as you, maybe a in a different way ofcourse... in the end this place holds a special place in your heart and so does in mine. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

I was missing that point indeed, because I like my bread as It is served for now... I search skillful players 
Not to say I underestimate your experiences at past because that sounds wonderful and I indeed hope that I would have been there, but I wasn't... I have been hearing a lot of past experiences how this place was awesome at 2003, 04, 05... and I still want to hear those experiences, because they are great reminder of this place's roots or real self, which I respect deeply... Maybe I can't caught the spirit right way... But even if I haven't met these guys in real life... I need to say these guys have always cheered me up at stressful times! So I say people enjoy from that shadow what's left... Because there's a lot more to bite of... P.S I didn't notice that topic was bumped and I didn't notice what everybody were talking about... I just got this to my eye Quote: This place is just a shadow of its former self _______________ Still here | My Lightsaber |

Skills aside your missing the point of what I was saying, the community as a whole was different,
The people who at least I got the pleasure of playing with weren't just internet gaming buddies. To give you an example, Darth Mobiltiy who has long left the gaming world due to his growing family and job obligations once packaged a monitor and shipped it out to Faded when his brunt out cause he wasnt gonna be able to buy one for awhile. I kno DJ has given computer parts to many a person Motrec i can remember off the top of my head. I have met, hung out with, gotten drunk and had some of the best vacation of my life with the guys of TJA which we all take for granted each day. While Motrec was the schmuckatelli (<3 MoMo) who bumped this thread for purposes to just start trouble, which is always a hoot as far as I'm concerned, It's important to realize that O'Liin here got worked up over a game community which he felt strongly about due to the investment alot of ppl placed here. I havent seen any emotion in this place beside a few whiners here and there for about 2 years now. Reason for that...thats for another JP essay on a day in which I'm not hungry and wanting to go eat soon, but skills come and go, the experience you have the people you share them with is what made this place special. Those people who are shared experiences which no longer play this game as neither do I, but for those who are still playing and weren't around during what us oldbies call "the golden years" wish you could have been there...it was something... WALL OF TEXT CRITS YOU FOR OVER 9000 *in before TLDR* _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??" This comment was edited by JP on Nov 19 2008 09:46pm. |

I played Jedi Outcast for over a year, and I got a bit of help, but I never really got to understand the game, or get good at it. Same when Jedi Academy came out...until I joined the Academy. This comment was edited by Setementor on Nov 09 2005 09:45am. |

Quote: JKA offered more documentation on the game and made the moves easier to make. Plus, by then most people already played JKO and knew how to do most moves. So converting to JKA was rather painless. Well, it depends on how you look at it, I suppose. The basics of all the styles are extremely easy to learn. After a few weeks of playing, everyone is bound to know what a butterfly is, or a scissor. There aren't actually many combos in the game - you can learn pretty much all of them in a few weeks, too. But from my experience (and I admit that my only teacher was Virtue, but you can't call that a limitation ) there's a more complex and more satisfying way to play the JK3 game. The chaining of combos is only the tip of the iceberg - movement training, tactics, timing. The exercises required for the more advanced training are probably not detailed in the game manual (ever tried running through a minefield while your trainer keeps force pushing you around?).I guess what I'm trying to say is that, in the past, trainers have given me a lot of unique game experiences that can't be easily discovered in a solo game, or from your manual, or from JK2. The people here at JA helped me to get the most out of my JK3 experience. It's not a matter of documentation, in my opinion. -Ken |

Back when JKO came out there wasn’t much documentation on the game to teach you how to do the moves and what powers countered each other. It was learned through trial and error or someone helped you. JKA offered more documentation on the game and made the moves easier to make. Plus, by then most people already played JKO and knew how to do most moves. So converting to JKA was rather painless. The point I’m making is, less people need help on playing the game. Therefore, less Trainers are required to teach. _______________ Brick Assassin for Hire Here, have a brick!
