I've recently discovered that while everyone else is improving at JK3, I am the only one to not improve (even become worse) over time. Now, I know the JAK+ ranks are supposed to be based on skills. I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have my rank, especially when there are so many others who are better than me. Does anyone else think maybe I'm wasting everyones' time when someone better could be promoted in my place?

Silk i was told, u do not have to have the best of skill to be JAT, it is the knowledge that u have, i had a 56k, so i had about 500 ping on classes and home servers, and i never though i could be JAK, cos i lagged and sucked, but Jacen wolf solo told me xanotos with a ping of 600 was able to be JAK , so its alright silk, but i don't mind switching positions with u :)

Silk, you ain't wasting time at all, you're making the fun experience unfold even more. You're a part of The Jedi Academy family, basically you're like a pappy, we lose you, we lose a part of The Jedi Academy. Like yesterday on the servers, I had a blast watching you fly the Tie Fighter, and me trying to fly the tie fighter lol. Jawa parties are fun too. And talkin about football and who'll win the Super Bowl is even more fun (Panthers will pwn Patriots :D). You ain't wasting our time, you're makin it all the more better :D.

goodness gracious dude...you know that your Knighthood isn't all about skill; it's about going out there and going the extra mile to help people who are worst than you, are lost, just arent' familiar with JA, etc. etc... Don't stress about it too much, cause as one of the rare veterans who have not achieved Knighthood yet, you're doing a damn fine job. with the prom and goodness else whatever you're planning, i think it makes up for your "lack" of skill.

SILK!!!!! what on earth are you talking about!? Even I (the rodent) knows that everyone is defeated once in a while. so no matter what you do you will be beaten in duels, and be the winner in duels. NOBODY wins EVERY duel. Words of advice: Dont talk like that, It makes me feel "good-ish"

NO!!!!
like Luke tells me every 2 days, being a knight doesn't just involve skill, its the attitude and support you give to people! But skill is a part of it, I don't think its the most important part, because EVERYONE can improve!

plus you rule, so i would shoot you if you stepped down :D

Silk,
If it makes you feel any better, the one training sesh (not the making of the JADD commercial:P ) I had with you, I learned something. So, I don't think you're wasting your/our time at all. If you need to take a break for a little while, that's totally understandable. Only you can decide what you need/want to do, and whatever you decide to do, I'm sure you'll make no enemies.

I'll just beg you to not leave like my last Master had to.:(

*gets on knees and begs Silk not to leave permanently*

My theory ...

Silk was feeling a little down and needed some cheering up and a confidence boost, hence he posted this knowing that no half reasonable JA member would say he should step down.

But even if that was the case it worked very well you should stay JAT :)

EDIT: oops sorry miss voted ment to say no obvioucly :(

Silk it doesn't matter if you suck or not at the game, as long as you enjoy playing, and you have something you can teach to people, like your demolitions class or something. I don't think you should step down.

Well, in my eyes the JAKs and JATs are not only skillful fighters but upholders of the peace and teachers. They're the ones that hold the JA together and keep it from falling into (total :P) chaos, and they're the ones that set examples in terms of behavior.

So if you can't win a few simple duels but can set an example for the other members of the JA (JAKs and JATs included), then you're not wasting space. :)

Alrighty, I hereby declare myself to be taking an official-ish break for an undetermined amount of time. I'll still be around, but I probably won't be on the servers much.

If you can teach something, and if you uphold the proper behaviour, there's no waste involved. Anybody of any level of skill can learn from anybody else of any level of skill as long as both parties are willing to learn as well as instruct.

I say No, your not wasting anyone's time. Although not a teacher, nor a knight, or heck even a paddy for that matter :), I remember a time when I was on jk2, and I, just, couldn't, get the style down with fighting. JK3 came out and it was a different story, not that I rule the universe, but I can contend with most and have fun with the game. Like the others said, maybe a break would help. Or perhaps a different style like duals or staff would be of interest? Also, don't be so hard on yourself. I've only met you like once or twice, but you fought honorably, with respect, and you showed every ounce of what it means to earn the JAT. If you feel like trying staff, and just want a basic tutorial to get the feel of it without feeling the need to snap it over your knee (I remember a time in the beginning thats all I thought), send me a holler in the profile, would gladly meet you on the server. Good luck, you'll find your groove :)
_______________
Be honorable, be friendly, be trustworthy. Show respect to all whom you meet. Don't forget you learn when you win AND when you lose. Be the first to admit mistake AND the first to correct it. Be the shoulder for someone to lean on. Always remember those that sacrificed time to help you. Thank you Odan Wei, Vladarion, 3th, Moridin, n00b, Motrec, Faded, Leif, and Tido, you will not be forgotten as the ones to make you remember, it's all about fun...
