I've seen enough of this Jedi's playing to know one thing. His knowledge taught at the Academy would help the vast majority of us. I don't know the official way for someone to become a JAT, but I say the heck with all the pomp and circumstance and give this guy the title and the class load!

15 minutes of fame is a good idea, but you don't necessarily have to show your technique. Just write about it and include links to some screenshots at the Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy forum. People will read about it, and if it's interesting enough, they'll surely ask the 'inventor' to show it to them.

well, we did have the "15 minutes of fame" class, where people could get advice on teaching techniques, suck up to the JAT's and show off in general:P

Maybe something to reconsider? It really was a good class..

There have been many students on the server who have had something to teach at one time or another, problem is the message goes out very slowly. There are 850+ active users that might want to know a technique that someone has perfected. It would be neat if some of our students were given the floor for a short time when they have something that could be shared. A person could do one on ones with people, but that takes a lot of time. The classes page is where everyone goes to find out what they could learn. A class like a "Special Guest" class could provide the advertisement so the information could be passed around much more quickly.

This was especially true during the transition from JK2 to JK3. Some students on the servers who were playing JK3 daily knew things that weren't being taught and still aren't. Some of those people don't have the personality or patience to teach regularly and they wouldn't make good permanent teachers at the Academy. This idea would simply give people a brief moment in the spotlight to show others what they know.

Ok, well, what JJ said is right and Faded and Fizz. Most ppl BTW get their knight after at least a half year JA age, it's just a little something to make sure you got ppl who stay at the game I think. But I think Viper understands it all and is not going to take it the wrong way. Plz continue with the teachings Viper, it's good for a school to have ppl share their experience :)

Ok, let's look beyond Viper's skill. He hasn't even been a JA member for more than a month. Beyond this, he'd have to become a JAK first, which is only about 50% skill, and the rest is attitude, patience, etc etc.

Let's just say, if skill got you a rank in the JA, then by god, we'd have a bunch of morons up there. :P

It isn't even a ladder, or a ranking system. You don't have to become a JAK or JAT here, you come here to learn the game and make new friends. It shouldn't be your goal to become a JAK/JAT, and in most cases with that attitude it will get you even further from actually becoming one.

It's not all about skill. And it isn't this political kiss-ass game kind of thing either. You need to pop up on the student to JAK promotion radar, and there are many ways to do that.

Here's what JumpinJedi said about Wolfwood, who recently became a Jedi Knight:

Quote:
He blends a great attitude with skill, with a great way of teaching, and he's a genuinely nice guy to boot!


If you want Master Viper to be a JAK, you should recommend him in the Student Recommendation Program thread.

I wish Master Viper and his 'fans' the best of luck ;)

Its too bad many of us do not understand that is the way it is. I understand what you are saying, but only as far as I'm allowed to. Many believe that this is a skill based ranking system, but I know its more about politics than anything else. I'm fine with that, actually, so please do not take it the wrong way. All I was hoping for was to give Viper the spotlight for a day. Hopefully we'll all see what I'm saying in the near future. ;)

yeah, Faded has got a real point there.

we have new rules, you know, and only JAK and above are officialy allowed to teach classes.

No rule permits students from teaching. On teh contrary, we encourage students to do so. And we monitor these things. But posts like this create the intention of someone wanting to gain attention, which is not encouraging our thoughts on these matters.
