Vaughn's Rant and Apology

To the few people who actually read these, You may be wondering why my rant is in the Academy forum, and not the Crazy Stuff one, as it alwasy has been. Well, I will try not to stray away from the point of this post too much... so here goes.

Everyone who has made my near-full-year full of memories, I would like to say thank you. However, it is time for me to disappear for a while. *waits for the supposed gasps... none come... continues* While all who have said they will leave, and some have left from there, have gained popularity through posts like this, I wish not to. No, I am not being the hypocrite as i used to be, but I intend to explain a few things.

I guess the first and foremost reason why i am leaving has nothing to do with the people here at the JA, so don't worry; its nothing you have done. I will tell you why im going later on (unless i forget of course :o)

I have been asked this alot recently on the servers, What does your tag mean? Well, now I am going to explain what my name means. On the servers, my name reads like this... well, without the colour.
{LST} Vaughn (JAJ)
What does that mean?!?!?
Vaughn is my name on the site... it is also one of my middle names. Just an FYI.
"LST... i've heard of that... but where?!?"
LST is my clan. LST, is now dead. Why do I keep the tag? Because i hate change. What some people may not realise, but LST is one of the originally-planned JA based clans. It used to be compiled of only JA students. One of the JA students wanted to make a clan, so they did. They asked people if they wanted to join. There were four of us. The original four became the LST council (we have added someone to our ranks since then). We got to the height of our power during the JA, then, our clan leader decided to take the clan out into the open net. We left the boundries of the JA. We started accepting more and more people in, regardless of who they were. All that mattered was if the leader and some trainers could stand them, and if they wanted to learn how to use the light side. From then, I felt as if we were starting to lose it. We started fighting amongst ourselves; the group of clans that we joined... a few of our memebers faught there, and one was even kicked.
Then, our clan expanded, and changed into VLR (Vivre La Revolution!). VLR encased LST and DST. We were VLR for a while. One time, when i wasnt around, i found out something that made me feel upset. It was around March, there was a big clanmatch between VLR (or LST as it was back then) Koi and LAMM. A big CTF match. Something happened, and it broke out into a big brawl. The leaders came, and LAMM broke their frendship and alliance with every clan there. Thats when LAMM fell. There was a post talking about that. LST got back on its feet after that instance, and we kept going. Just recently, our leader became too tired to continue, and VLR has died. As I said, i don't like change, so i kept the tag. Oh yes, before i forget (thanks for pointing this out), LST stands for, or stood for, Light Side Training.

Thats a quick history of LST tag... but what about JAJ?
Around the same time that LST broke the ties with LAMM, the JA lost its ranking system. I promised myself that I would stay an initate, because there was no reason to advance. I became a hypocrite, because a few weeks later, i went and took my Learner trial. I did it on classes-only, because i didn't want people around to hear/see it. I requested that DJ not put it up in a news post, for the same reason. A few weeks later, I took my Journeyman test (once it was avaliable to me). Again, i didnt want people around to witness it, and i asked DJ not to put a news post of it (DJ had stopped by the time i took my test, so it was no worry). After that, since i was not voted for by the right people, I could not take the test for knight. I have no problem with that, so dont worry. I decided to 'invent' a j-man tag. Therefore, JAJ is Jedi Academy Journeyman. Simple, right?


I would like to apologize for everything that I have done to offend/annoy people. I have enjoyed my stay at the Academy, but it is time for me to disappear for a while. How long will it be until i'm back? I dont know exactly. Will I be back soon? possibly. Whats the min time i will be away? one month. Where am i going? to camp. Yes, i am going to a camp. This is my last day at home for a while, and the last day at a computer for about the same amount of time. So, Thank you to everyone who has made my stay here pleasable, and i would like to say sorry to everyone who i have offended and annoyed.

Now, when i return (that is if i can), i do expect to see some changes. Changes?!? yes. The reason: everything changes. you can't avoid that. The biggest one... ioshee will be a knight. if your not ioshee... ill be very angry. yes, im pushing you. yes, i am sorry about it, but everyone wants you to be a knight. what do you wish to learn from your master? he is away now, he wishes his students to do well, everyone likes you, why havent you accepted the facts, and taken the test? How do i know this? because ioshee, and the rest of the JA, i know ioshee because of how he acts everywhere. I havent been hacking (i dont know how), and i havent been forcing him. its just a hunch that Vaughn, the unofficial Belouve family member has... i could be wrong, and i accept that. so if im wrong, ignore this.

Lianiotte, please come back. While i know you are angry, please put it behind you. Don;t dwell on the past, you can't change it. heh, i think i may know what you want to happen, but i dont know if i can... its alittle late now. ah well

Thank you to everyone who has made my stay nice

Goodbye for now
Vaughn, Academy Hypocrite, and the Academy non-speller

Hey Vaughn. I never really got to know you, so I don't know if this post will really mean much to you. I do hope you come back, 'cause the few rants I saw were pretty cool:D. Like Kal said, you were pretty cool on the servers. Well, have a good time!:)

Enjoy camp. I didn't know you, I don't really care to know you, not to sound cold. If I don't know you, I won't be sad you're leaving...that DOES sound cold...:D

CYA LATER, VAUGHN!

Perilous, because I'm bound to get into fights I can't win. Drunken, because ALE! Angel, because a valkyrie is basically an angel of Odin.
I'm here to send you to the afterlife, but I can't gurantee I'll be stable enough to win a fight. :D

Jesus Cristo, I leave for a week, and this is the kind of insanity that happens while I'm gone?! Vaughn, dude, don't talk like that. If you're coming back (which I sincerely hope you will), don't say things like that. I don't give a damn about what you've been through and what you've done, we need people like you in the Academy. Also, I didn't even notice that Lianiotte had left! When was this?! The hell is happening here?! NO!

Goodbye (for who knows how long) Vaughn, I hope you come back soon.

I can't hold some massive speech about all of the tags and that since I've only been here for 5 months, and I know you don't want any glory because of posting this, but I respect you for what you just said. That's all I have to say.

May the Force be with you out there in the scary world.
