| The JAA is looking for players! | |

R2D2 - Staff  |
Ever had a slight interest in representing the JA in the JKA world? Ever wanted to try out TFFA with people that don't team-kill you for fun?
If so, the Jedi Academy Aurochs (JAA) want YOU to consider training with us! The JAA has been active in the Electronic Sports League (ESL) the past couple of years. We have reached #3 in the International TDM ladder, and were #5 before we left the ladder recently. We left the ladder because we don't have enough active members to form lineups for matches. Due to this current predicament, the JAA is ditching the current tryout system for now and has instead decided to start an ESL training team for anyone in the JA interested in playing TFFA at the competitive level. This team will be led by the current Aurochs. We intend that the JAA members will provide guidance and tutelage for those JA members still inexperienced with TFFA and competitive play (anti-exploit techniques). If this training squad is a success, those members that prove their worth will then be integrated into the JAA roster! If you are interested in the chance to play for the Jedi Academy Aurochs, please drop by our forums and post in the Tryouts section. We also encourage that you attend Piccolo's Basic TFFA class. Attending that class is not required but is highly recommended. As you can imagine, teamwork and communication are quite important within the JAA. We highly encourage those that are interested to join the #ja-aurochs channel on IRC (just hang around) and use Teamspeak (need to have a mic!) in addition to being active on the forums and servers. Note: For anyone currently applying to the JAA, you will automatically be considered for the Training Squad. Thanks for your time! More details regarding the training squad will be made available on the JAA forums.

In the definition of a "team" we're not active. I concede that point. However this is due to the activity of competition in CTF. If there are no scheduled games in a sport, can the teams be called "active" even if they still play friendly games/hold practices? The answer is no. This is what is called off-season. Is that to say the team doesn't exist anymore? Not at all.
EVERY JAA CTFER still plays on PUG. We occasionally get JAA vs (like the other day). However our lack of "activity" is due to a lack of games. PUG is our friendly game atmosphere and practice environment. Mythols, Ramses, 17, Max, and Myself, are all still very much alive and active

Diden't I just said that There is a distinction between player and team - having some of you play random pugs now and then doesn't make the team active.  ?

ur looking at one for both tffa and ctf still Just TFFA, i presume. The CTF team is pretty much non-existant at the moment, and i doubt the JAA is interested in reviving that one.
On a sidenote, if the JAA wishes to use the training squad for ESL matches, its members will have to register and join the team on the ESL site before they can play. FICK DICH DU GER NAP! <3 The CTF team is not non-existant, and we are always looking for new members. I'm really busy myself what with graduation from uni about a year away, and we don't have any JAK/JAT on the CTF squad so nobody can really hold a class for CTF either (which is a shame considering we had a good turnout every week back when rosie held it) as such, while we do exist, our existence isn't really talked about much. Same deal with the CTF squad though, if you are interested hang out in the IRC channel and get to know the players. Also, I suggest you visit the forums at www.beyondsuppression.com and look at the learning section to get an idea of what CTF is all about. _______________

If anyone didn't noticed yet, we started hosting the new Advanced TFFA Class, also everyone who's interested in joining the JAA or ESL should take a look at our forums as we are starting a new ESL Training squad. This comment was edited by Vision on Dec 18 2007 08:30pm. |
