doobie - Jedi Council  |
These are the Academy's updated rules and regulations. I'm placing them here until DJ gets a chance to put them in the proper place. Mad props to Hardwired and Fizz for the updating! ::intro:: These are the rules you must follow. These rules apply to all servers and areas of the Jedi Academy, including IRC. If you are caught violating these, it will result in an official JA warning. You only get one warning. If you violate the rules again you will be banned from the Academy. These rules are not all-inclusive, so if you recive an order from an Academy staffmember (Knight, Trainer or Council member) obey it. If a rule violation occurs, take a screenshot or make a demo and report it to the nearest Knight or Trainer. In the case of emergency report it to a Council member. Also, these rules may be subject to change without notice. ::rules:: 1. Watch your mouths. A very small amount of swearing is ok, but if you take it over the top, you will get a warning. Racist/sexist/homophobic talk is extremely forbidden. This extends to the image you use on your profile and the name you use on the servers. You may use a nickname other than your Academy name if you wish, but if a staffmember asks what your Academy name is you will have to tell them; failure to do so will result in a kick or ban. This is to ensure that we don't get intruders on the servers. Please stick to the English language. A small chat in other languages is ok, but remember that English is the main language of the Academy. 2. Our servers are for the private use of our Academy members and no one else. Giving out the server passwords is not allowed. If someone asks you for the passwords, you are to direct them to the server page (member or non member). If you are found to have given out the password to someone you will be BANNED from the Academy regardless of warnings. The classes servers may be used anytime w/o special permission. If however a staffmember asks you to leave, immediately do so without arguing. Also, during the action of a class, don't join the server if you do not want to participate in the class. Should a ranked member be present on the server, ask for her/his permission. 3. The Jedi Academy is clan neutral ground. We are a place to hang out; clan activities (recruiting, clan wars, etc.) are not to be held within the Academy. 4. There is absolutely NO fighting or agressive action unless agreed upon. If someone is attacking you against the rules, don't fight back. That simply lowers yourself to their level and further irritates the situation. Tempers rise, names are called, and bans are handed out when this happens, so take the high road. If someone is bothering you tell a staffmember. If it continues, report it to a staffmember, switch to spectator or take a break to calm down. Along the same lines, it is not allowed to attack someone while they are typing (unless the typing icon appears while you are in the middle of an attack). 5. If it's not naturally bound to a key in the game, don't do it. A custom keyboard config is fine if it makes you comfortable, but no binding combo moves (DFA, lunge, etc). Also, usage of a killtracker is not allowed on the servers. 6. Please keep guns in the gun area (the courtyard in JK2 and the fortress area in JK3). The same thing goes for setting det packs/trip mines traps outside that area. If we catch you doing this you'll be subject to disciplinary action. The only exceptions to this rule is if the presence of guns or traps outside of the gun area is OK with everyone on the server. If someone has a problem with it, even only one person, then don't do it. Remember that tripmines stay in place after you disconnect, destroy them before leaving the server. 7. Any extraordinary activity (such as FFA, roleplaying, king of the hill, etc..) involving guns or other agressive actions outside the gun area or any other rule violation must be ok with everyone on the server. To avoid confusion to people joining the server during such a session, stay clear of the spawnpoint, or tell them directly upon connecting. 8. When using the NPC room (Ask a staffmember if you are unsure of what the NPC room is.), only spawn as many NPC's as you can handle and no more that 5 at a time. Use your heads here. Note that the NPC room is there for training purposes only and should only be used for that. Abusive action of the NPC room will not be tolerated. Also, do not continuously ask the Trainers to spawn things. Ask once and only once. 9. Do not stand in doorways as this affects the fps in the connecting rooms. Make a choice...in or out. ---------------------------- ::Map specific rules:: 1. Vladarion's Memorial The memorial is a sacred area for the Academy. Saber duels are tolerated in this area, but not in the direct perimeter of the memorial. You may not stand or sit on the memorial at all, nor are you allowed to saber or shoot at it. Remember, this is a memorial of one of our finest students who tragically passed away, treat it as such. 2. Mune's Bar Mune's Bar is a place to chill and talk. Saber duels are allowed, but only if it doesn't affect other players in that area. And do NOT abuse the privacy booths. *edit* ewwww its sticky. *edit again* not anymore  _______________ -Academy Leader/Dictator/Defeater of DJ Sith and JACen Solo in the JAK+ Tournament -I do think it (the JA) will help convert dozens, maybe hundreds, to the dork nation... --me This post was edited by Aron on Mar 02 2004 10:03am. |

There should be a rule for no naked d00bz. (Horrible sight, trust me  ) _______________ You are not your f***ing system specs.

Quote: it sais "tolerated", not encouraged. this should be common sense, but the area is pretty big, and we dont see any problems with occasional duels there. This is the point you guys should remember. It is a large area and there is nothing on the other side of the the waterfall. The point is that people that do things in this room are not going to be kicked for it and shouldn't be told to get out and insulted. We don't want it to be excessive though. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

A duel in the memorial? To me it seems disrespectful to "honor" Vlad by going to his memorial and killing someone. But maybe that's just me. |

i don't know about taking up all that space as a "no dueling zone." it's basically about respect and of course being respectful of the memorial. although i have not done it, i would think that it might be nice to have a duel in honor of Vlad in the shadow of his memorial (so to speak). i know some people that i would like to share that experience with in memory of the good times that we all shared with Vlad. just my two cents though. _______________ this is the internet, be serious damn it!

I have a remark on these rules, which I will also take up to my master, when I get back from Great Britain. I'm posting here in case I forget. The NPC-limit-rule. You know, not more than five at a time. That's a great rule when it comes to the Saber-NPC's. But not when it comes too Droid-npc's. Those guys are just too easy to fight when it comes to five to one. I wouldn't break the limit of 10 though. cuz when you go beyond ten (I tested when I was alone!) the server does tend to lag a bit. So, could you perhaps add the line about the droid-npc? Any feedback would be nice Thank you. Sincerely -Bail- _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

I have a question about the clan rule I know the rules say that you cannot recruit on the forums or servers and you cannot hold clan wars on the servers. But are you allowed to put your clans website address on your signature so that people can come and have a look if they want? _______________ Once a Monkey always a Monkey.

Aron, they're happy-happy-joy-joy pills, not happy-joy-joy pills... c'mon, don't you know your ren and stimpy?!? oh, and dictatorship is fun if you're the dictator , although i think for the JA we should call it an parliamentary oligarchy... there's the oligarchs (the group, the council) at the top and then the parliament (the JAKs, JATs, and JASs) who guide the oligarchs.btw, i prefer english english to american english... _______________ -Academy Leader/Dictator/Defeater of DJ Sith and JACen Solo in the JAK+ Tournament -I do think it (the JA) will help convert dozens, maybe hundreds, to the dork nation... --me |

Just a small point, Whether we like it or not (and i daresay many of us don't care AT ALL), the academy IS a dictatorship, Its not like all the students could have a vote and say Ok thats it , doobie, Virtue etc, Get out of here ! If you choose to not join, or leave, because the supreme boss JAC doods can tell others what to do while in THIER academy with out acctualy finding out what it is like , to me it would seem you are very blinkered "It sounds very much like a dictatorship to me" - padme "Well, if the system works" - Anakin no, wait, the system failed in that case with plapy taking over the galaxy, Ok bad example. Edit: Are you sure the official language is English , or american? _______________ Quote: fiZZe: its SIR Fizzy Fluffy :p Quote: FiZZ[JAK]: that was what I call a counter Ah, things you only ever expect to hear once
