yes I agree. people sometimes really have no idea what teachers are talking about, even in beginner classes. ydfa, rdfa, lunge, it should all be in it. _______________ -Retired april the 19th 2004 |

i think we should include jk2-terms like yDFA. some noobie-boobies might not know about it _______________ Aeth S'kray *June 2002 +September 2003 |

Well, phooey. I don't know what to do about this. I have some people saying one thing, and others saying another. I personally would like a glossery just for JA that includes YDFA and other common terms, but that seems redundant. See comments on this below. I suggest opening this out to the wider JA audience and asking them what they would like to see. I'll do this right now. -rh _______________ Back from the dead...

Ruuk, what about the people that start playing JK2 in the Academy? I heard about this place from friends and started playing JK2 here for the first time  I had *no* idea what a yDFA or rDFA was... |

btw, Halendor has suggested that he hold off on doing the FAQ until after initial release of the Holocron. -rh _______________ Back from the dead... |

I'm gonna make one last comment on this (yeah, right, Ruuk - when do you ever shut up?)  When I got in here, there was all this stuff flying around...and I had no idea what it meant. It took me awhile to figure it all out. No big deal, but I did feel kinda out of the loop for a while. Some sort of dictionary would be kinda helpful (to people like me). Those links would be acceptible to me (personally) as long as they cover what we're gonna hear in JA. If YDFA is a common term used throughout the JK2 community (which I would assume it is) then there is no need to include it...a waste of time. 1337 is probably another one. If there are terms in here that are JA-specific, then it would be helpful to include them somewhere. Cyb- _IF_ you want to do this, I'd recommend following MoS's example and posting in the Academy Discussion Forum for other peep's suggestions. Heck, before you start, why don't you post a question asking if people think this is even necessary? That might answer the question for all of us. -rh _______________ Back from the dead... |

I think it can be useful Cyb. Espcially the Academy related stuff like JAT, JAS, JAC, yDFA, rDFA etc. |

Hmm... well should I do it or not? Maybe I can pick the most important from the links I gave, add some JA terms like for example euh euh hmm... what were you think of? eg JAT=jedi academy teacher or Matrix=room inside of the JA map? I could also add some JK2 only things like GF=good figth and ydfa=yellow death from above... But on the other hand you said it doesnt have to do with JK2 really and I dont wanna waste my time _______________ ~~ Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none! ~~ |

Hey, doobie. Glad to see yer browsing through our forum here. Sorry, didn't mean to offend!  Halendor has tentatively taken on question #4. Anyone up for #5? Cyb, you wanna gather some JA-only terms to include with your 2 links? -rh _______________ Back from the dead... This comment was edited by Ruuk Haviser on Jun 17 2003 03:12am. |

Question 1: Setup. Icco, send your info over to Mune to see how he can incorporate it into what he has written already. Mune, let me know what you think. Question 5: Slang. I like Halendor's idea. If you guys have places to go that would take care of this, then in NO WAY do I want to have to repeat it. Absolutely not. I just didn't know a lot of it myself, and thought it would be helpful. A few links to other dictionaries would be fine by me, along with special JA terms that aren't known by many people outside. (Thanks for the links, Cyb.) Is someone volunteering here? Halendor has already jumped on 8. Question 8: FAQ. I'm not happy with the FAQ the JA has right now. I don't believe it covers enough. Mune sent me his Question 1 text entitles "Jedi Outcast for Dummies" which should help answer some initial questions of how to get set up, etc. I will look at this further, edit, and pass it along to both of you, Halendor and Exar. Take a look at it. What I'm looking for is an FAQ that very well may provide links to information we have already written about. If this is the case, there will be no need to rewrite. Just put the link there, and the person will automatically go to the spot within the Holocron. HOWEVER, we may be missing some things. I don't know. I'd like you two to scour through the threads/posts for dumb (seemingly to us) noob questions. If we don't address these within the Holocron already, the FAQ should be a place to include the answers. I am going to assume that once we are done with our FAQ, it will replace the one the JA currently has. (I would assume, DJ, doobie, and other decision-makers, that this would not be something you'd have a problem with! : ) ) Does all that make more sense? Oh, and Halendor? No, I don't want you to answer questions about Star Wars. If someone needs to ask questions about this universe, they AREN'T WORTHY OF PLAYING THIS GAME. Nah, you know I'm just kidding. But no, just worry about JK2 issues.-rh _______________ Back from the dead... This comment was edited by Ruuk Haviser on Jun 16 2003 04:58am. |

Could you please find out who did an FAQ already then? It would be useless do to things twice. About section 5. I think the best way is to take the most used terms around this community (try the JA-bot IRC stats), AND include a link to a list that has been already made. |

Hmm.. I thought someone already made a FAQ.. and yeah the chat thingy doesnt really have to do with the JA, it is very useful ofcourse but tons of em are made already, maybe we should link to one of them or copy em (check for example these out: http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/digest/glossary.jsp and http://www.012.net/pages/text/chatDictionary/chatDictionary.html (think the first one is some better)). I could of done the first section but the rest wouldnt really fit me I think. Btw mune I think with setting up the servers he means entering the ip. _______________ ~~ Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none! ~~ |

Should we get rid of section 5? Internet slang really has nothing to do with JK2 OR the Academy. I'm sure there are sites that have huge lists of terminology though. Could we just add a link? _______________ Jedi Academy Holocron http://jaholocron.ryanmh.com/ 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. |

I'll try to work on part 8. I'll skim the Academy Forums for any questions that are related to this Jedi Academy and the Jedi Knight II game. I don't think its neccecary to also include questions concerning Star Wars, but if you want me to, I will. |
