LOL - I honestly don't think that many of us JAS/JAPs can comment on the inner workings of the system, but I can see the results (resluts, Mauly:P).

None of the JAT/JAKs I know have undeserved recognition. NONE. Ok?

Note the lack of smily in the above paragraph as an indicator of my seriousness :P This attitude may change now that Kueller and Jacen are JAKs (j/k;)), but ATM, I believe that.

MoS is simply being realistic. It doesn't make the girls (women/chicks/babes/bimbos/lasses, for the uninitiated :D) any less worthy, and that ain't what he or anyone else is saying.



THE QUICK VERSION - Chicks pwn. :D

And all of them have kicked my ass way too much for my reputation at one point or another...except Smily.....and that is because she's nice, and won't overkill me :D

hehe here are some old quotes from famous dead ppl that i think are relavent.

Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.-Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950),

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)


Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)

OK i dont know if these are of any used to you but maybee they will allow you to find an answer within your self.......i know i sure did!

I do not think ppl get their rank out of luck, or thanks to the ppl they know.

I have been in the Academy for 4 weeks or so now, and after 12 days I found a master (Smily rules!!), and not because I want to become a knight at all costs but just because I prefer to have a link with my teacher, it helps me to progress.

I will or will not eventually become a knight but that's not my goal to get a tag on the server and be sucked up. Being a knight is one step closer to the JAT status, which represents my final goal (if I make it so far): what I learnt thanks to the patience and skills of my current teachers, I would like to teach it as well to the JA fellows who are willing to learn.

And as a final word, girls may get more attention but it doesn't mean they have easy ways to the the knighthood.

"OMG, the girls get more attention thing is starting here too? noo, that happened in my old clan too and caused a major fight"

I'm not arguing. In fact, it doesn't bother me at all. Girls DO get more attention. Can anyone really argue that?

Also, since promotions are by recommendation, being friends with the people doing the promoting doesn't hurt, does it?

"hmmmm I got JAT status in 3 months..."

Were there as many people in the Academy then? Wouldn't you agree that it was easier to attain a rank?

"And Smily did get her promotion on what she posseses, not because she's a girl."

Because she is a girl, what she posseses got noticed more than they would have if she was a guy. I NEVER said she only got her promotion based on gender, NOR did I say she doesn't deserve it.

Listen, I just assumed everyone felt the same way I did. I'm shocked to see how many of you are ready to put words in my mouth and flame me.

I agree wih ya Monty u got ur rank cause u deservered it as did NE one JAK or up they wroked hard and long to acheive there goal and its not because of sum gender issue no thats not the case.the REAL reason is cause of the dedication,knowlege and skill of the game(s)
in short all who acheived knighthood or above I look up to cause I KNOW they worked hard for there recognition:D

if people only knew the stress and wot is expected of u, woteva u think it is forget it, its 10x worse, it isnt a place for someone who just wants to play the game, i spend many nights sorting out silly little problems just because i have a JAT tag, which i think i deserved, i worked hard for my position and i wont let it go easily, holds sword up to the council ON GUARD U FEINDS!! :D only jokin :D anyway on a note of the old ranks, hell i loved them, they made me wanna go to class and learn, but that wasnt the case for everyone, and so they are gone :( man i loved being a Jman :D haha i felt so proud :p anyway dont make it a goal but if it comes then u know u are being a perfect role model for the academy!

Darthy, you slut!

I think the girls will ALWAYS get more attention for that.. it's unavoidable. However, I don't think Smily is a JAK because she is a girl. She geniunely does have alot of skill in JK2 (and JK3 for that matter). But think of it this way... if the girls are more popular, they'll be easier to talk to, and approach with any problems...

Jacen, it's true.

If you're well known and spend a lot of time on the servers, your good deeds will get more recognition.

Girls get a lot of attention, and tend to be approached by others. They are noticed more.

I'm not saying it's wrong, but that's how it is.

LOL well there are multiple sides to everything. First, I made knight and I really didn't know anyone in the upper ranks. I still really wonder how I got a nom from Secura. Then there is sometimes the idea that just because someone is the way they are, they have an advantage. This process is biase but what isn't? It is the ja communities hope that we can see through the bs and see how people really are.
