Ever felt like not had the chance to say thanks to one you got help from?
Basicly this thread is about posting who you admired most in the academy, either because they have done something for you, helped you etc. or just to say thanks for their help in the past 
So to get started, I will post my "idols" first 
-Most admired: Kenyon, He taught me everything I know of in JKA, he helped me with my personal emotions, so Kenyon, thank you
-Second most amired: Virtue - For being the pro mapper ^_^ and nice classes 
-Third most admired: Aratan - No idea, maybe because your the janitor? Danes ftw! \m/_______________ Learn To Forgive, Not Forget This post was edited by Angelos on Mar 12 2007 05:43pm. |

Majno - Padawan

Here goes.
Virtue: Why do I mention him first?, well, he was the first person I met on a JA serv, a small anecdote about it; I spawned in on the Home serv,(at this point I didnt realize there were Euro servs at the JA).. he stands in the Courtyard on the V1 map, I approach him, give him a polite bow, and ask him if he could show me a good attack for Medium stance, he says "Sure" and tele us both to the Padawan training room, he has me stand in the middle of the duelmat, and says "so watch close" about 2 secs later I'm in pieces on the floor cause he has just scissored me, He says "There you go" and I'm like - wtf just happened! A year or so later he takes me on as his Padawan and the good times just keep on coming. Why has he reached such a high status in the JA, well for many reasons,(too many to list here)..safe to say his spirit of friendship and devotion to teaching and this community is nothing short of legendary. aph3x: For being my first Master and teaching me the basics of the game, and being a hell of a nice chap, Tis nice to see you about again my Master, even though if it's totally random.
Leweroo: What can I say, a more then a yearlong sparring partner and friend to have fun with. One of the funniest persons I've ever met in the JA. You were a fountain of insperation and joy, I still miss you on the servs bro. Kessler: The first person who dared to have me teach what little I knew about the game, doubly taught by me and Lew. Can I count all the fun times we've had, no I dont think so. You're attitude is still what it was, and is one of the reasons why I admire and respect you bro. much <3. D3 n LC: They're crazy Germans who love Starwars and say Yippi! when they win a duel, well atleast one of them does, the other one mostly just says Stfu Majno and giggles, need I say more. 
Well I'll go on for a bit more, met them on the servs, had great fun, ended up takin them both on as un-official Padawans, which was one of the best things that's happened to me in the JA, I can't list all of the fun times we've had after that. Much <3 for these two. The people following are (some) I've met, dueled, and had alot of fun with since I joined this wonderfull community. Some from times passed and some from times recent, in a none specific order. Sauce, Hardwired n Rosered, Ataris, Leviathon, Jumpin Jedi, MOTREC, Tido, D@mned++, Carda Jowol, 3th, Leif, QG, Janus, Setementor. All The D'Kanas I've met and the Belouve's, a name still seen and dueled; Roan, a true Knight. Dash & Liso n Jaitro, Mic, Ris, Sol, Solitude, Menaxia n Lirael, Yuken, Piccolo, Zeke, Sazabi, Kaelis, D@rth M@ul, Wicek, JK13, Masta, Pink, Q-Tal, Nero, Luke Skywalker. The list could go on, but I fear my memory does not, haha j/k, to all those not mentioned, much <3, you know who you are. Last but not least, to all those who've been crazy enough to ask me for an Av or such, much <3. Hats off to you guys.

Fizz - the first person I actually got to know in the Academy. Helped me out during inauguration and has the greatest taste in music.
Mike (JJ/Plankcore) - Mike is just about the best guy around! His unorthodox, controversial, disturbing and not-a-care-in-the-world manner makes him just about the most interesting and funniest person to be around. <3 Kenyon - since it seems to be trend to give props to Mookeh, I'm gonna continue. Being part of the notorious gay porn circle mentioned below, I can only try to say with insufficient words how great an influence Mookie has on the scene. Besides that, Kenyon is a great guy, and if Mook and Mike are partaying in Holland this summer ... COUNT ME IN TOO! Bubu - my "master", though neither of us played the game anymore when he took me on as padawan. Just about the greatest fellow, we've had lots of good times! Gradius - like I say on a permie in his profile, Gradius is my favourite punchbag of insults. He's almost 100% inactive now, but I still miss the guy and hope that he comes back to say hello at least in the rare times that I'm online. Menaxia - a veritable joy to hang out with (what a silly term to be used in the cyberworld). I got to know her during the good ole days, and soon I was best man at the happy event of her and Mike's wedding (remember that, people?) One of the nicest people around!
Lots of other people to thank, though most of my friends date to a time 2-3 years back. The people above I thank not necessarily due to anything that they've done to help me, but for being good friends to me. I left lots out, but I was getting too sappy and now I must do something manly like spit and rub my crotch. _______________ Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears, To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

Hard to narrow it down but here goes!
Kessler, Helped me out a ton when I first joined the academy, didnt know the first thing about combos or the like, and he took the time to show me, for hours..... even when I didnt get it or didnt retain it he always helped me out!
Majno, For hooking me, and I'd imagine, countless others up with avatars! no questions asked other than "sure man, give me and idea of what you want" You Rock! 
Virtue, for one, anybody that spends that much time and puts that much effort into maps for other people to use and enjoy without pay... is a strait up baddass period. And for answering my mapping questions, not to mention letting me hit the airwaves with my tunes. My hat is off to you!
Setementor, I don't know what it its about Sete, but if I have a question, he always has been able to give me the answer I was looking for, his knowledge of this game amazes me! Not to mention all the times he has gave me advice in game about how to better my horrible technique!
I could go on and on, Also to all the JAC,JAK,JAT's that take the time out of their personal lives to make this place work, We all appreciate it! And finaly Thank you to all of the great people and students of the academy who make these servers rule! And for never seeming to tire of pwning me over and over while I train!!!
Oh and I'd like to thank god because without him I wouldn't be here, and most of all my fans.... hehe j/k /concludes his JA awards speech |

I've got alot of people to thank!
T. Siduro aka Carve for being one of my best friends in JKA and teaching me so bloody much about the game. But I also hate him for not being around.
Virtue, for being one of the best online friends i've ever had, for helping me out in all kinds of situations, and for being a great master in JKA. Kenyon, aka MOOKEH, for showing me the wonders of homo-erotic sex. That, and for being an awesome friend, and for possibly putting me up this summer so I can go party with him.
DJ, for being awesome to me no matter what, and being hillarious.
Menaxia and Lirael, for being people I can harrass on MSN.
Jaiko, for being the nicest guy on the bloody planet, and for being an awesome friend.
Jaina, for letting me stand on her head in JKA. Magical trevor
And uh... man, i'll probably remember more later. |

My most admired member of the JA has to be Virtue!
For his incredible mapping abilities, his skill with a saber, and his fun but very educational classes. Closely followed by Janus, Wolfwood, Jaiko, and Jaina, for everything they have taught. And more upto date, Dash and Setementor for their new approach to classes. These are the people that stand out for me! Thank you all for everything you have taught me _______________ Geriatric single User, with a touch of Staff now and again. Influenced by Dash Starlight, Jaina. Janus, and Gradius in staff. And in yellow stance. Jaina D'Kana, who really helped me when I first joined the Academy and Jaiko D'Kana, who's classes I took in the begining. Proud owner of _Muro_'s 400th ACK! comment.

As Saz said most people here are worth noting in this thread. Offhand though:
-Jaiko, for taking me on as his Paddy, teaching me an awful lot both about the game, and life in general, and generally being a great guy. -Pink_Floyd Mintaka, for being Pink_Floyd Mintaka -Virtue, for the community service, Co-op class, and the maps. -Majno, for all the avatars, and being such a nice fellow in general. -Jaina, for all the tips. Loads of others i could mention but i'll stop now. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?
