Help Doobie know what to talk about in a State of the Academy speech...

I'm planning on doing a "speech" like I did a long whiles back about the "state of the Academy"... but since I've been gone for a while, I need to know what people want address. Ranks? Promotions? Why DJ still hasn't shaved his porcupine back hair? Use this forum to let me know what you'd like addressed (and along those same lines, keep discussion to a minimum on this thread, it'll make it easier for me to go through and find the important points i want to make)

I agree wit hthe points my Master said earlier. I would like to see an outlook maybe even on JK3, the SWG issue, and of course that JA Holocron thingy :D

I would discuss the issue of people having double accounts and manipulating the system we have here to weed out troublemakers.

New way we are going to create knights ? Easy.

See, we get this test tubes, some silly puddy, some fine JAT/JAC DNA, 2 ounces of ketchup and a Mars bar. And pronto, you get your standart in vitro JAK.

:)

Now on a more serious note. The way you get picked for Knight didn't changed.

You get nominated by 3 JAT's/JAC's (with the jaks opinion).

But expect a Harder exam and much harder Trial.

ioshee, the concern about knight trials is because it was said that they would be changed and then... that's it.

since the lower ranks have been taken out, and there are no more class points either, the way knights are created has to change too.. so that's why people want to hear more about it ;)

We COULD try to expand the community by having people teach things like mapping and modding...

Dunno how that would work, but it would be cool if JA members were the best at everything. :D

Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

Hummm, maybe a more detailed explanation of why the ranks are gone. Some ppl still dont get it.

Considering knight trials, I really don't see any problems. Maybe you should explain that there are supposed to be a few of them, like the trainers and that new knights will be trialed only when necessary.

I think now that the ranks are gone ppl are seeing Knightood as the only available promotion and going at it like crazy. Missing the hole point.

Also give a big shout to the fact that ppl are promoting activities at the academy other then duels and tournys , like the Data Bank, JA Prom , mapping, etc. is a woderfull indicator of how much this community is growing.

Heck , we're becoming a familly. sob Its beutifull. sob

See now yo got me crying.

Peace out.

I think everyone pretty much covered everything.

And I agree with Biz, that back hair has gotta go. If you find an easy way to do it, let me know.:(

Just out of curiosity, why do you guys keep mentioning knight trials?
What do you mean?
Is there a problem?

If you mean that there have been none for a while, maybe that’s just because we have enough knights for now. I mean, I ALWAYS see at least one on the server. That’s a good thing:)

As far as the State of the Academy, I think Bubu mentioned all the major ones. I just have to say though, I think things are going wonderfully. Keep up the good work.

things that i think need to be mentioned:

- rank removal (bad? good? future?)
- knight trials (wassup with them?)
- JA knowledge base project (talk to Ruuk)
- servers (past, present and future)
- general behavior and student attitude
- upper-management insider stuff
- praise where deserved

if your speech includes all these things i think people will be happy :)

Servers is a good thing I think. I'd like to see something about the knight trials and ranks. I'd also like to see something about discipline and respect, 2 things that the academy must constantly address.

You don't need to just address problems, complaints, issues in it though. You can point out the good things going on. Any changes behind the scenes students should know about but isn't common knowledge. Planned events that are coming up.

Keep it serious here please. :)

The only recent big change was the ranks thing really. What serious JA crippling issues are there right now? From what I know we're running pretty smooth now.
