Everyone was a newbie here once. No-one (except doobie, dj and js999) were here since the creation. You MUST have found out somewhere about the JA?

So? Where did you find out about this community? Personally I was surfing at www.jediknightii.net (or something) and went to links and there it is. The Jedi Academy :o I applied ASAP and here I was ;)

What is your history?

Ahh :D That explains it. I knew plastic lightsabers had something to do with it... just couldn't quite remember where :P

Anyhow I came to the academy via Ross's post way back when. :)

i was asking questions on gameFAQ when i saw someone posted suggesting starting a server teaching newbies to play

and someone gave the link there~

seems unreal to me at first (I never knew there are people teaching about a PC game on servers...)
but hey, I was wrong!

i started playing jk2 online for the first time and went to a a few pubs. after having my ass handed to me on a silver platter playing on pubs i decided to look for SP mods so i wouldnt have to ever venture back on a server. while i was looking for mods on jediknightii.net i saw the ad for this place and the rest is history.

I forget who recommened me, but they said if i wanted a challenge i should check out the jedi academy..oh wait, now i remember. When i was in DLG, sovereign, the leader, told me we were hated by the jedi academy. Inyuyash also said that was where he was training, and i got the impression you were stuck up guys :P So i came here literally to own everyone like i enjoyed doing a lot back then. As luck would have it, i went into the server and luke was in the middle of a class..and he let me stay. Afterwards we dueled, we talked about dlg and the ja..and i came back sometimes. That is how i came into the ja, mind you this was after i met my true Vierna Valmont :)

When you are told something for years, you learn to accept it. But, after the truth is revealed, you feel conufusion, isolation, and depression. Then you ask, where do I belong? I'm searching for that answer.

My friend - Manto - joined the Academy not long after it was set up and he recommended it to me, I tried to join, but I just missed the deadline for joinings, then my computer broke and took ages to fix. When it finally got sorted Manto had set up LAMM, which I joined. I am still part of LAMM, but I decided to join the academy to play the JK games, get some training and meet people who play the JK games.

Well, after I took a break from playing jk2 on pubs (I played with Eclipse, SS, and Trad Redav), I played MOHAA.

He said he was in this Jedi Academy so I was like "woah, cool, I'll check it out" and here I am :D

Well I was making a name for myself at the jk3files server, with the nick Masterkiller (shows how much appreciation I had towards the game back then), when someone talked about the Academy. And from then on it has been a beautiful story about the life and success of a certain Casual... :)

Back in 2002, I remember seeing a post on the Lucas forums by Ds999 about his academy idea (I think he was also trying to promote lightsaber models *shrugs*)... but it wasnt until a few months later that I saw a link on jediknightii which sparked my interest.

At the time the academy was accepting applications for staff & students.. so I applied for trainer (Lrod did my trial) and passed! :D

A few months later I lost my cable connection, so I have missed quite a bit :( ... Still having fun in JK3 :P

I was browsing www.thejediknightii.net and saw a link to an interview with [jim]bean.

I saw a link to "The Jedi Academy" and I applied at that time :)
