| Fifth Aniversary Tournament - Sign up now! | |
|
Dash Starlight - Jedi Instructor  |
Greetings,
it will only be a few more weeks until the Jedi Academy has officially been around for five years. For an online community, this is a very long time. Some of you may remember the first days of the Academy, others have joined in somewhere along the way, like myself. In any case, the upcoming aniversary is quite an achievement of what I think is a great community to be part of. This should not pass by unnoticed. Hence, there is going to be an event which will bring back some of the old days' feeling: A Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Tournament! This time it is going to be there unless something very extreme happens. I would like those who are interested in taking part to sign up in this thread. Signing up is rather easy; just let me know you are interested and I shall add you to the list of participants below. On June 7th, 2007 the Jedi Academy will have been around for five years exactly. This is the last day during which you can still sign up. Everyone who signs up after midnight, BST, will need to be a reserve. My plan is to launch the tournament on the eighth. Next are a few details, so you know what you are signing up for. General The tournament will be a one versus one double elimination tournament. It will consist out of a mixture of NF and FF duels in the Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast game. You can sign up by posting a comment below, from May 27th until June 7th. Rules These are the basic rules to the Tournament. Although this is likely the way the Tournament is going to be run, changes can be made if absolutely necessary. Rule #1: All matches must have a referee, though this can be any member of the Jedi Academy. (JAK+ overseeing matches in JKII will probably be hard to find.) The referee's decision is final. Rule #2: Some attacks are not allowed. Thus far do not use spinning. Rule #3: Contact your opponent as soon as possible. Rule #4: In case there is no duel, it is up to the referee who proceeds, based on the amount of effort the duellers have put in to arrange a match. The one having made the most effort will advance. Rule #5: Complete the duels in the prescribed order. (The order shall be in the upcoming thread.) Prizes Although it is always fun to have prizes, there has been some trouble with them last time. I shall try my best to arrange some, but I will not guarentee anything. Afterall, the tournament is a celebration of the Academy's fifth aniversary. On another note, there is interest in JKII classes. I would love to cater for a few, but on the one hand I lack time and on the other I lack expertise. However, there have been JAK+ in the past who used to teach JKII. If you like you can leave a comment in this thread, stating which class you would like to run. I shall put one up for you, which you can then teach. We will all learn more about JKII in preparation for the tournament, and having ex-JAK+ teach JKII classes will bring back some of the old times which is pretty much what this celebration is about. Please feel free to sign up.

Quote: Done.
On a small note, I haven't added you yet, Shar, because you still had a question whether you could use an exessive amount of lunges/dfas/flipkicks or not. Also, you seemed to sign up for the NF side, which you can't; you'll duel a single opponent a few times and doing so, you should duel FF as well as NF. Anyway, long story short, just say the word and you're in. Well sign me up anyway and if i can't spam then i won't and for FF ill just hit absorb. _______________ Bored of Psu Back to Gw I apologise in advance to all the people that will take offense to me saying my opinion. |

Anything that's legitly in the game seems fine to me. I'll see if I can find out more about what is and what isn't allowed in JA JKII Tournaments. (Thanks for the tip Masta, I'll add spinning to the list.) So can i spam flipkick - lunge/dfa ? _______________ The name is Bond. James Bond. |
