Greetings fellow students, dear jedi knights, instructors and council!
First of all, if you feel that this post belongs to other forum or is just silly - simply remove/delete it. I've just joined the Jedi Academy and I'm slowly getting to know its rules and structure step by step. Today I've attended my first class (regards for all participants and instructors) and I'm happy to being a part of the Academy 
But let's get to the point! NOTE: IT'S NOT HARRY POTTER DAMNIT! xD EDIT: YES IT'S HARRY POTTER! LET'S ALL JUMP ON LIGHSABERS OR RATHER STAFFS AND KICK THOSE JEDI PIGEONS INTO GOAL GATES! Some years ago I was an apprentice of polish Sith Academy but due to inactivity I simply quited... The thing I really liked was idea of schools which were managed by Knights, Masters and Lords. They had their own rules, code, duties and assignments with own hierarchy and orders which had positive influence on brotherhood's atmosphere and brothers' relations as well as gave more opportunities for apprentices to show their abilities and skills not only in in-game ground. I've seen some similar idea here in Jedi Academy - families (The Hats, The Jowols etc) but I thought the idea of schools would give more chance of "random" people to join in. The schools could compete with each other to gain "school ranking point" which would be distributed during competitions, tournaments etc. School of the month/year (?) would receive symbolic reward - token of knowledge and valour. Post your opinions about the idea and how would you improve it

I actually came up with this very idea when i first joined the JAK team a few years ago. We looked at developing a whole structure to support the operations of the JA along side it, and although the idea was generally well supported within the JAK+ channels, i remember there being some key operational reasons behind us eventually deciding against it. It is a fantastic idea, but the feasibility of it would have to be looked at again in much detail before it would be possible to launch such an initiative. Fantastic idea none the less.

A nice idea. And would be cool with tournaments and competition . But yes it really sounds like Harry Potter . Oh BTW THE JEDI ACADEMY it works like a big school . Everybody helping each other .With teachers(Jedi knights , Jedi Instructors). I agree with the competition and tournaments. but we already have this  . I just posted my opinion  . _______________ ->SJ<- "Never fall to the Dark Side , They Do not have Cookies" |

I seem to remember this being discussed before, but I'm not sure what came of it. Good idea anyway _______________ INTP |

The whole idea of schools sounds like it could get a bit messy. People who cant decide and maybe didn't hop on the train they thought they did. Transfers here and there, and tbh, I agree with the guys that we have too few active people in this community nowdays.
What I did like though, was the idea of the different competitions etc. We have the TIT's (yeah 'haha' plz stop my guts from bursting...  ) which have always been a good way to gather people together. And I think it could be worth a try if enough people show their support, and if we would have someone (a bunch of ppl) committed to the case, and could organise and think up different contests. Maybe just once a month or even less than that to put no pressure on the matter.
Like the D'Kana Christmas Gauntlet (which is awesome fun, thanks Jaiko ^^), these kind of contests and challenges every now and then could bring back some activity to the JA. (like the TIT do every year it is held) A thread where all members of the JA could give the team fresh ideas and feedback would be a great thing to let everyone possibly influence the upcoming contests. I apologize if you feel this post could've fitted better in a thread of it's own, but I ripped off one half of Dag's idea so that's why it's here.
Anyway.. Got you interested? Think it could work? Start posting.

it sounds like Harry Potter, and more like role playing to me, but this academy is special, i mean i saw others academys, but some of them are based on role playing. This academy is about helping each others, and having fun, but your ideea sounds pretty good, its like the tag tag team torunament we have some weeks ago. _______________ blub blub |

Nah it's not like Harry Potter lol and it's not meant to create some clans or w/e the truth is that none of the schools I were before played JA. They were rather about star wars sessions. But what I meant here was that each school could have own "specialization" so e.g. there would be school concerned only with force, lightsabers, weapons, dark force, light force and each would compete in different tasks like best school map, best school website, best school logo, most respectful school etc and tournaments in-game would be just addition to that. I thought it would bring more life to the academy and attract more people to join... well maybe more active people...

It would have been a nice idea if JK3 was still popular. Well if that's truth it's pity  We can attend classes tho 
But anyway if anybody would like to discuss about it feel free to message me, either here or msn. _______________ "Once you accept it, the Dark Side is with you forever..." Freedon Nadd Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies!!! |

It's not bad an idea if treated carefully but the JA has never been all that competitive... the way you phrased it sounds like it might turn into clan wars or something similar.
