Is there a set JA formant for the Tags?

and whats P ?
I figure JAK, is Knight, and T is trainer of Teacher, but whats P ??
and if S is student, wouldnt it be better for everyone to change the last letter to the Rank ?
I initate
L learner
J JMan,
etc,
or is the idea S because you cant take on lower ranks in duels all the time, and you have to guess what rank your battling ..

while im on yappin' whats this DFA all about I assume its Death From Above? isnt That killing, and killing, isnt that against the jedi code or something? like Revenge? (like Revenge of the Jedi)

We don't have to protect Ewoks? That's a relief, because I had to kill one for the meat last time I was on Endor. I was just afraid to tell anyone.

I have this beautiful rug in my den now.

to the philosophy part:
we do alot of things jedi arent supposed to do. we kill, we use guns, we use dark AND light side, we use the force as a tool, we dont help ewoks, we dont protect senators and we're no members of the Jedi Order.

guess it's just a game :S

DFA is a generic gaming term. It means "anything that's powerful and comes from above you". :) In Q3 a DFA can be a rocket attack while jumping down from a ledge above you.. In the JK2 case a DFA fits nicely into the idea behind the red special move. :)

I understand what the Yellow and Red DFA are, and I can do them, but I was going from OB1's point of view, Death and killing isnt what jedi do, so how come the moves are named after Death.

Thats what I was getting at, remember Lukes first script name was Starkiller, and Return of the Jedi was originally Revenge of the Jedi, but Mr.Lucas said Revenge isnt a Jedi Concept, and changed it..

Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

Ok. Students can use the JAS tag, or JAP/JAA if they have a master. Knights may wear their JAK tag, but it isn't required. JATs must wear their tags when they're on duty. That applies with JAC's and JASTaff's. Mind you, tags are only required for the JA servers. In our IRC channel, you don't need tags. I hope that cleared things up for you.

As for DFA, DFA is the red special move, and YDFA is the yellow special :)

Yeah...I remember when we had JAI, JAL, JAJ, and so forth. Basically I joined on the day they eradicated them.

But anyways...

If Bubu is high and mighty (and high)....
And is all-powerful...

And I am his former Master that got him where he is...

Either I am even more crazy than Bubu, and he is just a splinter of my eminence...

Or I am a SUPREME JEDI....


Either that, or I need to turn around and face the computer and stop talking out of my butt.

Bubu, don't go crazy. The insanity is a Belouve Family secret.


Oh wait, was I supposed to type that last part?
One voice in my head says I wasn't, the other say I was right to type it.

Oh well. The female voice will make it ALLL better.

DFA is also the yellow special Bubu!
remember, spammingDFA is bad, because someone will be able to spamm it faster.

yes, me had to dig up an very old post that stated that out, when I popped into the JA.
IMHO these abbr. should be stated out in the FAQ as well.

JAM = JA mentor (or mentat ? ;)

yeah bubu, you are soo much higher than us... *sigh*

JAP stands for Jedi Academy Padawan.
Every rank in the academy untill the rank of Knight, is still a "lower" rank, a stepping stone to becoming a knight, once maybe.
Therefore they decided just to use the JAS, JAT, JAC tags.
Also, all these tags create far too much confusion :)

and yes: dfa stands for death from above.
I dont see why dfa is different from other attacks, in the way it is a way to "take revenche".
