Just to clear up some confusion..

Er, it has come to my attention that some people (and i don't know how or why) think I am an official trainer for the academy. Well, to clear up any confusion, I'm not. Of course I love to train and help everyone out, but as for me being an official rank, no. Do i ever plan to pursue being an official JAT? Not really. I don't need a tag to teach people, and I prefer being outside of a system. I actually don't have any real position in the academy, not a student either. So this post was just clear up for the people who thought or think this, I am just a friend. I can still teach of course and I plan to, but like i said I don't want any rank nor do i need it to teach. Thank you all for your time and i hope i cleared the questions up :) If you have any more questions (besides if i will take you as my official padawan, i think i've answered that enough :) ) feel free to pm me, aim me, talk to me or any other way. Take care everyone.

LOL my mistake, I read before and it said, "JAT's and JAK's aren't teachers". (Maybe I'm just going crazy :P). By the way, I know it was JJ Monty Boy :D.

To Vladarion, though I know you are in a better place - it makes me shake to think that you are not awake - when I think about you it makes me smile - i know you have gone into the clouds to head for heavens gates - you have changed my life - in an incredible way - and so I say thank you - may you rest in peace

You can't really get something like that by going after it. You can by sucking up :P

That's cool Dante, just wanted to give you my 2 cents.

A JAK or JAT tag is just like having a college degree. Does it necessarily mean that you are better at what you do than someone without a degree? No. It just makes doing what you like doing much easier for you. With a JAT or JAK tag, you can teach official classes, which means you will touch much more people, which means you can contribute much more to the JA. And that's only taking into account teaching by itself. I'm not even talking about the other input you have as a JAK/T.

So, all I'm saying is: think about it a little more and maybe reconsider. I've heard great things about you and it would be cool if you could spread your doctrine, so to speak :P

Of course, the final decision is not up to you, but you have to be willing. Nobody can force you into it.

Anyway, have fun with your teaching either way ;)

Comrade, the JAT's are teachers. The JAK's are more like keepers of the peace. :)

to clear up, to hold offical Classes u need the rank, if u are teaching on a JA server u dont have control of the server, they are still classed as FFA servers. Just thought i would clear that up :)

Gotta remember one thing, buck-o - the JAT's, or JAK's, aren't just teachers. They're just like Jedi from the Star Wars movies, if you will... keepers of the peace, and all that jazz. These folks do alot more for the JA than you realise. For example, they have alot of input on policies that the JA holds. They also have some say in who and who doesn't advance in the ranks of the academy's administration. Not just that, but they're a swell bunch of guys n' gals!!!

Oh, and Dante... CAN I BE YOUR OFFICIAL PADAWAN?!?!?!?!>?!!!!11!!1!!SHIFTONESHIFTONE
