| The bow... | |

o2b - Student  |
What's the deal with bowing nowdays? I remember last time I was here that we bowed before every duel...usually just a "look down" or crouch. I jumped in to a server yesterday and started dueling, bowed, then looked up just in time to catch a saber in the face. The guy lol'd and asked what I was doing, which made me wonder if the bow thing's gone out the window.

I back up, then bow. if they too back up its safe to bow. if they don't, switch to fast and upper cut them in half, go to strong and jump around slicing them to ribbons. a noob saber staff weilder got sliced to ribbons cuz i was listening to the song jump around and i made my character jump around hacking at them  . I came out there 100/100. Easy peasy lemon squeazey. |

I always bow, but sometimes when I get back up I see the dueler's blade cutting my face, so then I know that if I duel him again, I won't bow.
Those players belong to a group of people who want immediate action because that's what the game is about for them. The problem is that they don't have "Net Manners", they don't find it rude to kill someone who is walking around next to them, because it's FFA... Deathmatch, any thing goes for them... On the other hand, there are many servers where 20 people just sit around and jump on walls and trying out their new hacks and exploits (which I see more and more) and no one does anything, making it quite boring, like "Second Life" 
But of course, whoever gets bored can just change servers. Somewhere in the middle is best in my opinion. |

I was gone for about a year and its come to this! First its the n00bs (no offense) thinking I`m a n00b and now some are losing the valued respect that, with the amazing duelists, made TJA such a great place, I have a message for those of you who don't show respect. Bad form. You'll have few friends and won't enjoy the academy. Good day. -TheDestroyer |

Quote: I 100% agree with Virty. I miss those days as well. It is hard to desribe just how amazing those times were and as much as you try, the people that were not here during that time can never fully understand that era. There have been many great people since the jk2 era also, but that IMO was prime time here at the JA.
