Activity is waning in some or alot of areas. This depends of course on whereabouts you live, your time zone etc. But generally, people have been saying recently that whenever they come online, the Servers are pretty much empty. So I ask you this: What would you like to see around here that could help beef up activity in the JA? Please be detailed, I don't expect you to have to write essays or anything, but please don't just post saying stuff like "We need more events!" or "We should have some scheduled fun sessions!" Tell us exactly what it is you'd like to see here. Or things that you think would help boost activity on the servers. So... Go!  - Virtue.  _______________ Academy Architect This post was edited by Virtue on Mar 20 2006 01:22pm. |

Voting FTW! I agree 3th, it would be nice for students to be able to train specifics, though who could train towards tffa's or siege even (no experiance there) if the servers are always set to ffa. Anyway another idea of myself and a friend of mine is to start a tournament of gunning tactical style,involving actual strategy in use of say explosives experts, sniper experts, heavy fire, so on and so on. That way we kinda break open the swat type gunning of other games.Though its been previously mentioned, having classes and training course would be very helpful before anything is planned. Btw,,,for more info on the idea get ahold of me "O'Liin" or my good buddy Enoch.Now bear in mind,this is a work in progress,but it could realy open the doors for some of the players here.

you know what would help (IMO), if the students had more control. i.e., voting allowed on the servers. since we have multiple servers, what if people want to mess around with powerduel mode on one? just to spice things up? ctf? sure, vote for it...power to the people FTW IMO anyway. FYI voting is enabled on the Aurochs server, go have some fun doing whatever ya like. just don't break anything please or i'll come break something on your computer and see how you like it _______________ this is the internet, be serious damn it! |

How about having a team for gunning. Like tffa, but guns.I know what your thinking, Why not CTF, or heck just buy a real game like battlefield 2. Well I dont know about you guys, but I dont have the money to just go out and buy games that cost more than some can afford.I say we put together a team of tactical gunners, and go to town shooting the place up!

PFFFFT the ja would win vs ghetto! They dont even need us for that! and actually th JA would do alright in ctf they would beat Dr. too. But as far as expanding CTF goes, you don't need matches. Just teach it to people and prep them for the competative play outside of the ja. I can see some huge benefits to adding a CTF class to this place. When you delve right into the competative play there are assholes who will say mean stuff if you are new and your team loses. This deters them from playing. The less they play, the less they learn. If they were to have an envioronment where they could learn the ways of competative play without the jerks then I'm sure ALOT more people would play PUGs. I can think of 8 people off the top of my head who would be interested in joining the JA if such a thing existed EDIT: Also Virtue, with regards to the kill binding, it isnt a matter of stealing points. It serves the purpose of saving time. Falling takes more time than you have to save the flag from being captured Also if i get a far base spawn im likely to /kill to spawn closer to the mid. If we ffa i would never selfkill, time doesnt matter there and I agree you worked hard to earn your kill. But in ctf individual score is nothing. Its about working together as a team. And it is more beneficial to the team to save the time it takes to fall and get back on the task of grabbing the flag and YES virtue, 2 seconds is more than enough to save a cap, i have done it myself wiithin the span of 1 second many times and I'm not even one of the best! Also if a knight or trainer would like help with such a class, I'm here to help too _______________

Quote: I'm with FullMetal on this one... We need a CTF team or something to boost the CTF aspect of this community. -Ian we had one. unless we have like septimo, wolfwood, fm, and some really leet other dude, we won't win against anyone outside of the JA. Unless you're talking about matches within the JA, which i've already tried and didn't work. |

What I think (and I honestly think this is so) is that people need to expand their horizons here. When you connect to a server here, the first thing you see is 'good fight', 'good luck'. Now, don't get me wrong, I like to flip my saber around every now and then, but every day? all day?. A serious (not some half-way-through thing) CTF class, describing all aspects of the gametype. Which would include full guns, force, movement and even /kill (which is based upon a tactic, believe it or not) would be a very good idea imo. If any trainer or knight wants help with that, don't hesitate to ask me, I am quite the CTF-er myself... or so I am told. But not just CTF of course, TFFA, Powerduel, Instagib and Siege are all very nice gametypes that really need to be looked into if you ask me. Also, I like the idea of events and stuff, but, make them more then just a duel tourney or a saber only tourney or something. A force tourney or a gun tourney or an 'anything goes' tourney, something like that. Anyway, my 2 cents Edit: Just read Tido's calender idea, thumbs up, that would be a really nice addition to the site _______________ ~ Honor is a fool's prize.
