<br />
Laziana is a [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] at the Jedi Academy.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Origins==<br />
<br />
Hailing in from a small village near of Vienna in Austria, Laziana joined the Jedi Academy on October 8th 2006. After meeting several other members - both old and new - and attending some classes it was clear for him (yes, he is male, just plays a female character in game) that he had found a place where people are nice and are really worth to spend time with.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Padawanship, Knighthood & Co.==<br />
<br />
On February 28th 2007, [[Dash Starlight]] took Laziana under his wing as [[Padawan]].<br />
<br />
Exactly two month later, on April 28th 2007, Laziana was promoted into the rank of a [[Jedi Academy Knight]] after overcoming the trials.<br />
<br />
It took Laziana some time to be comfortable with the additional duties and responsibilities. Finally Laziana selected Maher Senatu as his first Padawan on August 31st 2007.<br />
<br />
On September 26th - almost five month after overcoming the JAK Trials, Laziana was promoted into the rank of a [[Jedi Academy Trainer]].<br />
<br />
Laziana used to teach a Basic [[Yellow stance|Medium Stance]] class on Mondays and an Intermediate Map Movement class on Tuesdays.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Style==<br />
<br />
Laziana got familiar with the saber system by learning and utilizing [[Yellow stance]] in a defensive style passed on by his master [[Dash Starlight]]. With more experience and knowledge about the saber system Laz developed his own alterations to this traditional style and made it even more defensive, relying on parries and counter swings only.<br />
<br />
Over time Laziana realized that for a puristic approach [[Yellow stance]] is not suitable to have an effective countermeasure to all potential threats in a JK3 duel.<br />
<br />
So Laz also embraced [[Red stance]] to stock up on his arsenal to prevail in duels and tournaments - while still keeping prior skill with stances at hand to quickly switch and adapt to the situation if needed.<br />
<br />
This does not always work out too well and it is clear that Laziana still has a long way to go to achieve any kind of sabering mastery in JK3.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality, Traits & Quotes==<br />
<br />
Laz is known as a kind and friendly person, always being respectful to each and everyone. Of course nobody is perfect - and with Laz it's no different. Cold-hearted moments and being a tad too strict or touchy when it comes to enforcing policies of servers, forums and the IRC channel does happen once in a while. Which never turns out to be a problem once the participating persons had a short talk over it - so it actually turns out fine anyway.<br />
<br />
Laz is not a very competitive person, embracing more the aspect of having fun in a social and friendly environment. Still Laziana is always there when there are tournaments at the academy to test his current skill set.<br />
<br />
<br />
Laziana is known for coffee and booze addictions (especially beer). Sharing time with a drunken Laz on TeamSpeak is something people tend to have a fond memory of.<br />
<br />
Jokes go around every now and then how a Jedi Academy Trainer should rather not be found lying passed out on the floor of one of the Academy's hallways - always winking at Laziana's direction if possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
Some of Laziana's favorite quotes:<br />
<br />
"In humility lies true greatness."<br />
<br />
"Wonderful." ''(in both honest and sarcastic way)''<br />
<br />
"COFFEE!!!"<br />
<br />
<br />
==Other Activities==<br />
<br />
Laz organized and held a one-day-event Tag Team Tournament in November 2007. A sequel to this tournament format was held on April 24th, 2010 - once again being organized and run by Laz.<br />
<br />
Additionally Laziana had a big role in organizing the Jedi Academy Prom 2008.<br />
<br />
Also, Laziana frequently hosts shows on Jedi Academy Radio which are slowly getting more popularity as time goes by. Although there is no fixed schedule yet for regular shows, people are mostly happy to listen when the JA Radio is on air.<br />
<br />
<br />
==A New Dawn - SW:TOR==<br />
<br />
After Star Wars: The Old Republic was released in 2011, Laziana was an active player in the EU guild set up by the Jedi Academy. Laz was in the positions Officer, Guild-leader and Co-Leader and tried to deliver the same fun and respectful environment as in the days of JK3.<br />
<br />
Unforeseen obstacles of the MMO nature of TOR prevented the involvement of the true TJA spirit and their aspects (basically: "teaching").<br />
<br />
After a few leadership changes and permanent rotation of core player base and several administrative disputes, Laziana decided to quit SWTOR when the TJA guild was disbanded in August 2014.<br />
<br />
===SW:TOR Characters===<br />
<br />
SW:TOR characters played by Laziana:<br />
'''Server: Red Eclipse (EU PvE)'''<br />
Laziana - Jedi Sage (Healer)<br />

It took Laziana some time to be comfortable with the additional duties and responsibilities. Finally Laziana selected Maher Senatu as his first Padawan on August 31st 2007.<br />
<br />
On September 26th - almost five month after overcoming the JAK Trials, Laziana was promoted into the rank of a [[Jedi Academy Trainer]].<br />
<br />
Laziana used to teach a Basic [[Yellow stance|Medium Stance]] class on Mondays and an Intermediate Map Movement class on Tuesdays.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Style==<br />
<br />
Laziana uses a single saber and follows the way of the [[Yellow stance]]. Laz does not practice any specific traditional saber style, but if you need a reference, then the closest hit would be a subform of Soresu (Form III).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Personality, Traits & Quotes==<br />
<br />
Laz is known as a kind and friendly person, always being respectful to each and everyone. Of course nobody is perfect - and with Laz it's no different. Cold-hearted moments and being a tad too strict or touchy when it comes to enforcing policies of servers, forums and the IRC channel does happen once in a while. Which never turns out to be a problem once the participating persons had a short talk over it - so it actually turns out fine anyway.<br />
<br />
<br />
Laziana is known for coffee and booze addictions (especially beer). Sharing time with a drunken Laz on TeamSpeak is something people tend to have a fond memory of.<br />
<br />
Jokes go around every now and then how a Jedi Academy Trainer should rather not be found lying passed out on the floor of one of the Academy's hallways - always winking at Laziana's direction if possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
Some of Laziana's favorite quotes:<br />
<br />
"In humility lies true greatness."<br />
<br />
"Wonderful." ''(in both honest and sarcastic way)''<br />
<br />
"COFFEE!!!"<br />
<br />
<br />
==Other Activities==<br />
<br />
Laz organized and held a one-day-event Tag Team Tournament in November 2007. A sequel to this tournament format was held on April 24th, 2010 - once again being organized and run by Laz.<br />
<br />
Additionally Laziana had a big role in organizing the Jedi Academy Prom 2008.<br />
<br />
Also, Laziana frequently hosts shows on Jedi Academy Radio which are slowly getting more popularity as time goes by. Although there is no fixed shedule yet for regular shows, people are mostly happy to listen when the JA Radio is on air.<br />
<br />
<br />
==A New Dawn - SW:TOR==<br />
<br />
With Star Wars: The Old Republic released, Laziana is an active player in the EU guild set up by the Jedi Academy. Laz is in the position of Officer and tries to deliver the same fun and respectful environment as in the days of JK3.<br />

<div>{{Attention}}<br />
The Jedi Academy is a community of Star Wars fans, with the purpose of teaching people to play [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. Their website is [http://www.thejediacademy.net http://www.thejediacademy.net]. The Academy hosts a number of private [[server|servers]], where the members can have fun and practice [[Duel Mode|dueling]], as well as attend [[Class|classes]] to learn new skills. The goal of The Jedi Academy is simply "To help you become a better Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy player." The Academy has many different [[Jedi Academy Ranks|ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
{{quote|The Jedi Academy is a collection of individuals who have a common interest in playing multiplayer Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. We are a multi-national group that constantly strives to provide a friendly and respectful setting in which to learn the game.<br /><br />We provide instruction primarily on lightsaber dueling technique, but also team-based and capture-the-flag strategies. The Academy holds numerous weekly classes that focus attention on specific aspects of the game, taught and assisted by Jedi Academy Trainers and Knights culled from our ranks.<br /><br />The Academy also provides a collection of Forums to allow for the discussion of various aspects of Star Wars, Jedi Knight, and other miscellaneous topics.|[[DJ Sith]]}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy was concepted by [[JediSith999]] in 2002 when he posted on [http://www.lucasforums.com/ Lucasforums] looking for a "Jedi Academy Training School" for [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=37324]. The responses were fairly positive but the only suggestion he received was that he should consider joining a clan. Even in that thread, people had already began to collaborate knowledge and teach eachother new things.<br />
<br />
Enthusiastic about the idea, he applied for webspace at [http://www.jediknightii.net jediknightii.net] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=39096] and upon receiving a very positive response, sought the help of webmasters [[massadoobie]] and [[DJ Sith]] to build a website that would see instructors teach students, classes and padawans in an online school called "The Jedi Academy" [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39227].<br />
<br />
{{quote|I always wanted someone to train me, but nooone did, so I think it would be nice to train others. I hope JK2.net accepts the site. Im thinking this will be done within a month or so. So Im just hoping for the best and trying to get everything organized for you.|[[JediSith999]], Founder}}<br />
<br />
A rough design was constructed [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39593] and submitted to the jediknightii.net team who agreed to host it [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=41183]. DJ Sith agreed to host the academy's first server in Dallas, Texas [http://www.thejediacademy.net/servers_detail.php?f_id=2].<br />

==Provided==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy provides instructional tutoring on dueling technique, team based game types, and everything in general that goes along with [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. There are currently four [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s that teach different classes. The [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank helps the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s with class'. Both the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] rank and the [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank have a Padawan system for those who cannot attend classes or wish to work more closely and get one on one help.<br />
<br />
Along with the teachings that they give, they also provide a nice atmosphere for anyone and everyone that comes across the servers.<br />
<br />
==Sports==<br />
<br />
{{Main|Jedi Academy Aurochs}}<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy Aurochs are the official sports team of [[The Jedi Academy]]. Members from the Academy are recruited into the Aurochs to represent the community both in fighting ability and in good sportsmanship. The Aurochs compete in [[TFFA]] and [[Duel Mode|Duel]] matches against other teams in [[JK3]]. The JAA also takes an active role in contributing back to the Academy and also to the entire JK3 community. As such, the Aurochs comprise the very best of the Academy.<br />
<br />
The first Academy team to carry the name "Aurochs" was originally created by [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[(SKX) Dark Blade]] as a casual [[Hydroball]] team at the Academy. Who the original players were and how active the team was at that time is unknown today. All that is known is the team eventually fizzled out with the arrivial of [[JK3]].<br />
<br />
In 2003, Aphex created the first version of the Aurochs as they are today. He invisioned a team of Academy members that could go out and compete against other clans/teams in Duels and TFFA while representing the Academy. Aphex wanted the Aurochs to spread word of the Academy to various players in JK3 that didn't know about it and needed help.<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />

The Hall of Fame is for very deserving members of the academy that have provided a very fundamental contribution to its developement and is maintained by the [[Jedi Academy Council]].<br />

The Jedi Academy is a community of Star Wars fans, with the purpose of teaching people to play [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. Their website is [http://www.thejediacademy.net http://www.thejediacademy.net]. The Academy hosts a number of private [[server|servers]], where the members can have fun and practice [[Duel Mode|dueling]], as well as attend [[Class|classes]] to learn new skills. The goal of The Jedi Academy is simply "To help you become a better Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy player." The Academy has many different [[Jedi Academy Ranks|ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
{{quote|The Jedi Academy is a collection of individuals who have a common interest in playing multiplayer Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. We are a multi-national group that constantly strives to provide a friendly and respectful setting in which to learn the game.<br /><br />We provide instruction primarily on lightsaber dueling technique, but also team-based and capture-the-flag strategies. The Academy holds numerous weekly classes that focus attention on specific aspects of the game, taught and assisted by Jedi Academy Trainers and Knights culled from our ranks.<br /><br />The Academy also provides a collection of Forums to allow for the discussion of various aspects of Star Wars, Jedi Knight, and other miscellaneous topics.|[[DJ Sith]]}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy was concepted by [[JediSith999]] in 2002 when he posted on [http://www.lucasforums.com/ Lucasforums] looking for a "Jedi Academy Training School" for [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=37324]. The responses were fairly positive but the only suggestion he received was that he should consider joining a clan. Even in that thread, people had already began to collaborate knowledge and teach eachother new things.<br />
<br />
Enthusiastic about the idea, he applied for webspace at [http://www.jediknightii.net jediknightii.net] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=39096] and upon receiving a very positive response, sought the help of webmasters [[massadoobie]] and [[DJ Sith]] to build a website that would see instructors teach students, classes and padawans in an online school called "The Jedi Academy" [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39227].<br />
<br />
{{quote|I always wanted someone to train me, but nooone did, so I think it would be nice to train others. I hope JK2.net accepts the site. Im thinking this will be done within a month or so. So Im just hoping for the best and trying to get everything organized for you.|[[JediSith999]], Founder}}<br />
<br />
A rough design was constructed [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39593] and submitted to the jediknightii.net team who agreed to host it [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=41183]. DJ Sith agreed to host the academy's first server in Dallas, Texas [http://www.thejediacademy.net/servers_detail.php?f_id=2].<br />

==Provided==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy provides instructional tutoring on dueling technique, team based game types, and everything in general that goes along with [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. There are currently four [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s that teach different classes. The [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank helps the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s with class'. Both the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] rank and the [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank have a Padawan system for those who cannot attend classes or wish to work more closely and get one on one help.<br />
<br />
Along with the teachings that they give, they also provide a nice atmosphere for anyone and everyone that comes across the servers.<br />
<br />
==Sports==<br />
<br />
{{Main|Jedi Academy Aurochs}}<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy Aurochs are the official sports team of [[The Jedi Academy]]. Members from the Academy are recruited into the Aurochs to represent the community both in fighting ability and in good sportsmanship. The Aurochs compete in [[TFFA]] and [[Duel Mode|Duel]] matches against other teams in [[JK3]]. The JAA also takes an active role in contributing back to the Academy and also to the entire JK3 community. As such, the Aurochs comprise the very best of the Academy.<br />
<br />
The first Academy team to carry the name "Aurochs" was originally created by [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[(SKX) Dark Blade]] as a casual [[Hydroball]] team at the Academy. Who the original players were and how active the team was at that time is unknown today. All that is known is the team eventually fizzled out with the arrivial of [[JK3]].<br />
<br />
In 2003, Aphex created the first version of the Aurochs as they are today. He invisioned a team of Academy members that could go out and compete against other clans/teams in Duels and TFFA while representing the Academy. Aphex wanted the Aurochs to spread word of the Academy to various players in JK3 that didn't know about it and needed help.<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />
<br />
See [[Jedi Academy Ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Hall of Fame==<br />
<br />
The Hall of Fame is for very deserving members of the academy that have provided a very fundamental contribution to its developement and is maintained by the [[Jedi Academy Council]].<br />

The Jedi Academy is a community of Star Wars fans, with the purpose of teaching people to play [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. Their website is [http://www.thejediacademy.net http://www.thejediacademy.net]. The Academy hosts a number of private [[server|servers]], where the members can have fun and practice [[Duel Mode|dueling]], as well as attend [[Class|classes]] to learn new skills. The goal of The Jedi Academy is simply "To help you become a better Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy player." The Academy has many different [[Jedi Academy Ranks|ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
{{quote|The Jedi Academy is a collection of individuals who have a common interest in playing multiplayer Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. We are a multi-national group that constantly strives to provide a friendly and respectful setting in which to learn the game.<br /><br />We provide instruction primarily on lightsaber dueling technique, but also team-based and capture-the-flag strategies. The Academy holds numerous weekly classes that focus attention on specific aspects of the game, taught and assisted by Jedi Academy Trainers and Knights culled from our ranks.<br /><br />The Academy also provides a collection of Forums to allow for the discussion of various aspects of Star Wars, Jedi Knight, and other miscellaneous topics.|[[DJ Sith]]}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy was concepted by [[JediSith999]] in 2002 when he posted on [http://www.lucasforums.com/ Lucasforums] looking for a "Jedi Academy Training School" for [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=37324]. The responses were fairly positive but the only suggestion he received was that he should consider joining a clan. Even in that thread, people had already began to collaborate knowledge and teach eachother new things.<br />
<br />
Enthusiastic about the idea, he applied for webspace at [http://www.jediknightii.net jediknightii.net] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=39096] and upon receiving a very positive response, sought the help of webmasters [[massadoobie]] and [[DJ Sith]] to build a website that would see instructors teach students, classes and padawans in an online school called "The Jedi Academy" [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39227].<br />
<br />
{{quote|I always wanted someone to train me, but nooone did, so I think it would be nice to train others. I hope JK2.net accepts the site. Im thinking this will be done within a month or so. So Im just hoping for the best and trying to get everything organized for you.|[[JediSith999]], Founder}}<br />
<br />
A rough design was constructed [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39593] and submitted to the jediknightii.net team who agreed to host it [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=41183]. DJ Sith agreed to host the academy's first server in Dallas, Texas [http://www.thejediacademy.net/servers_detail.php?f_id=2].<br />

==Provided==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy provides instructional tutoring on dueling technique, team based game types, and everything in general that goes along with [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. There are currently four [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s that teach different classes. The [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank helps the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s with class'. Both the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] rank and the [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank have a Padawan system for those who cannot attend classes or wish to work more closely and get one on one help.<br />
<br />
Along with the teachings that they give, they also provide a nice atmosphere for anyone and everyone that comes across the servers.<br />
<br />
==Sports==<br />
<br />
{{Main|Jedi Academy Aurochs}}<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy Aurochs are the official sports team of [[The Jedi Academy]]. Members from the Academy are recruited into the Aurochs to represent the community both in fighting ability and in good sportsmanship. The Aurochs compete in [[TFFA]] and [[Duel Mode|Duel]] matches against other teams in [[JK3]]. The JAA also takes an active role in contributing back to the Academy and also to the entire JK3 community. As such, the Aurochs comprise the very best of the Academy.<br />
<br />
The first Academy team to carry the name "Aurochs" was originally created by [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[(SKX) Dark Blade]] as a casual [[Hydroball]] team at the Academy. Who the original players were and how active the team was at that time is unknown today. All that is known is the team eventually fizzled out with the arrivial of [[JK3]].<br />
<br />
In 2003, Aphex created the first version of the Aurochs as they are today. He invisioned a team of Academy members that could go out and compete against other clans/teams in Duels and TFFA while representing the Academy. Aphex wanted the Aurochs to spread word of the Academy to various players in JK3 that didn't know about it and needed help.<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />

The Jedi Academy was concepted by [[JediSith999]] in 2002 when he posted on [http://www.lucasforums.com/ Lucasforums] looking for a "Jedi Academy Training School" for [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=37324]. The responses were fairly positive but the only suggestion he received was that he should consider joining a clan. Even in that thread, people had already began to collaborate knowledge and teach eachother new things.<br />
<br />
Enthusiastic about the idea, he applied for webspace at [http://www.jediknightii.net jediknightii.net] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=39096] and upon receiving a very positive response, sought the help of webmasters [[massadoobie]] and [[DJ Sith]] to build a website that would see instructors teach students, classes and padawans in an online school called "The Jedi Academy" [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39227].<br />

{{quote|I always wanted someone to train me, but nooone did, so I think it would be nice to train others. I hope JK2.net accepts the site. Im thinking this will be done within a month or so. So Im just hoping for the best and trying to get everything organized for you.|[[JediSith999]], Founder}}<br />
<br />
A rough design was constructed [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39593] and submitted to the jediknightii.net team who agreed to host it [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=41183].

==Provided==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy provides instructional tutoring on dueling technique, team based game types, and everything in general that goes along with [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. There are currently four [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s that teach different classes. The [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank helps the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s with class'. Both the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] rank and the [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank have a Padawan system for those who cannot attend classes or wish to work more closely and get one on one help.<br />
<br />
Along with the teachings that they give, they also provide a nice atmosphere for anyone and everyone that comes across the servers.<br />
<br />
==Sports==<br />
<br />
{{Main|Jedi Academy Aurochs}}<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy Aurochs are the official sports team of [[The Jedi Academy]]. Members from the Academy are recruited into the Aurochs to represent the community both in fighting ability and in good sportsmanship. The Aurochs compete in [[TFFA]] and [[Duel Mode|Duel]] matches against other teams in [[JK3]]. The JAA also takes an active role in contributing back to the Academy and also to the entire JK3 community. As such, the Aurochs comprise the very best of the Academy.<br />
<br />
The first Academy team to carry the name "Aurochs" was originally created by [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[(SKX) Dark Blade]] as a casual [[Hydroball]] team at the Academy. Who the original players were and how active the team was at that time is unknown today. All that is known is the team eventually fizzled out with the arrivial of [[JK3]].<br />
<br />
In 2003, Aphex created the first version of the Aurochs as they are today. He invisioned a team of Academy members that could go out and compete against other clans/teams in Duels and TFFA while representing the Academy. Aphex wanted the Aurochs to spread word of the Academy to various players in JK3 that didn't know about it and needed help.<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />
<br />
See [[Jedi Academy Ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Hall of Fame==<br />
<br />
The Hall of Fame is for very deserving members of the academy that have provided a very fundamental contribution to its developement and is maintained by the [[Jedi Academy Council]].<br />

The Jedi Academy is a community of Star Wars fans, with the purpose of teaching people to play [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. Their website is [http://www.thejediacademy.net http://www.thejediacademy.net]. The Academy hosts a number of private [[server|servers]], where the members can have fun and practice [[Duel Mode|dueling]], as well as attend [[Class|classes]] to learn new skills. The goal of The Jedi Academy is simply "To help you become a better Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy player." The Academy has many different [[Jedi Academy Ranks|ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
{{quote|The Jedi Academy is a collection of individuals who have a common interest in playing multiplayer Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. We are a multi-national group that constantly strives to provide a friendly and respectful setting in which to learn the game.<br /><br />We provide instruction primarily on lightsaber dueling technique, but also team-based and capture-the-flag strategies. The Academy holds numerous weekly classes that focus attention on specific aspects of the game, taught and assisted by Jedi Academy Trainers and Knights culled from our ranks.<br /><br />The Academy also provides a collection of Forums to allow for the discussion of various aspects of Star Wars, Jedi Knight, and other miscellaneous topics.|[[DJ Sith]]}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy was concepted by [[JediSith999]] in 2002 when he posted on [http://www.lucasforums.com/ Lucasforums] looking for a "Jedi Academy Training School" for [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=37324]. The responses were fairly positive but the only suggestion he received was that he should consider joining a clan. Even in that thread, people had already began to collaborate knowledge and teach eachother new things.<br />
<br />
Enthusiastic about the idea, he applied for webspace at [http://www.jediknightii.net jediknightii.net] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=39096] and upon receiving a very positive response, sought the help of webmasters [[massadoobie]] and [[DJ Sith]] to build a website that would see instructors teach students, classes and padawans in an online school called "The Jedi Academy" [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39227].<br />
<br />
{{quote|I always wanted someone to train me, but nooone did, so I think it would be nice to train others. I hope JK2.net accepts the site. Im thinking this will be done within a month or so. So Im just hoping for the best and trying to get everything organized for you.|[[JediSith999]], Founder}}<br />
<br />
A rough design was constructed [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39593] and submitted to the jediknightii.net team who agreed to host it [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=41183]. DJ Sith agreed to host the academy's first server in Dallas, Texas [http://www.thejediacademy.net/servers_detail.php?f_id=2].<br />
<br />
{{quote|i do think it will help convert dozens, maybe hundreds, to the dork nation by giving them some pointers on how to play the game...|[[massadoobie]], Webmaster}}<br />

{{quote|In the past year, we’ve seen the Academy grow from 3 dorks conning jediknightii.net out of webspace to 5 dorks on a council in charge of over 1600 students, 13 Teachers, and 16 Knights. We’ve seen the Academy move from a small niche in the Jedi Knight Community to a large, well-respected force throughout the web (We even have our own game coming out! :)) We hold 34 classes per week on 4 servers (although our Dutch server seems to be down at the moment, something which is being researched).

==Provided==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy provides instructional tutoring on dueling technique, team based game types, and everything in general that goes along with [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. There are currently four [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s that teach different classes. The [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank helps the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s with class'. Both the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] rank and the [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank have a Padawan system for those who cannot attend classes or wish to work more closely and get one on one help.<br />
<br />
Along with the teachings that they give, they also provide a nice atmosphere for anyone and everyone that comes across the servers.<br />
<br />
==Sports==<br />
<br />
{{Main|Jedi Academy Aurochs}}<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy Aurochs are the official sports team of [[The Jedi Academy]]. Members from the Academy are recruited into the Aurochs to represent the community both in fighting ability and in good sportsmanship. The Aurochs compete in [[TFFA]] and [[Duel Mode|Duel]] matches against other teams in [[JK3]]. The JAA also takes an active role in contributing back to the Academy and also to the entire JK3 community. As such, the Aurochs comprise the very best of the Academy.<br />
<br />
The first Academy team to carry the name "Aurochs" was originally created by [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[(SKX) Dark Blade]] as a casual [[Hydroball]] team at the Academy. Who the original players were and how active the team was at that time is unknown today. All that is known is the team eventually fizzled out with the arrivial of [[JK3]].<br />
<br />
In 2003, Aphex created the first version of the Aurochs as they are today. He invisioned a team of Academy members that could go out and compete against other clans/teams in Duels and TFFA while representing the Academy. Aphex wanted the Aurochs to spread word of the Academy to various players in JK3 that didn't know about it and needed help.<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />
<br />
See [[Jedi Academy Ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Hall of Fame==<br />
<br />
The Hall of Fame is for very deserving members of the academy that have provided a very fundamental contribution to its developement and is maintained by the [[Jedi Academy Council]].<br />

==Overview==<br />
<br />
{{quote|The Jedi Academy is a collection of individuals who have a common interest in playing multiplayer Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. We are a multi-national group that constantly strives to provide a friendly and respectful setting in which to learn the game.<br /><br />We provide instruction primarily on lightsaber dueling technique, but also team-based and capture-the-flag strategies. The Academy holds numerous weekly classes that focus attention on specific aspects of the game, taught and assisted by Jedi Academy Trainers and Knights culled from our ranks.<br /><br />The Academy also provides a collection of Forums to allow for the discussion of various aspects of Star Wars, Jedi Knight, and other miscellaneous topics.|[[DJ Sith]]}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy was concepted by [[JediSith999]] in 2002 when he posted on [http://www.lucasforums.com/ Lucasforums] looking for a "Jedi Academy Training School" for [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=37324]. The responses were fairly positive but the only suggestion he received was that he should consider joining a clan. Even in that thread, people had already began to collaborate knowledge and teach eachother new things.<br />
<br />
Enthusiastic about the idea, he applied for webspace at [http://www.jediknightii.net jediknightii.net] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=39096] and upon receiving a very positive response, sought the help of webmasters [[massadoobie]] and [[DJ Sith]] to build a website that would see instructors teach students, classes and padawans in an online school called "The Jedi Academy" [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39227].<br />
<br />
{{quote|I always wanted someone to train me, but nooone did, so I think it would be nice to train others. I hope JK2.net accepts the site. Im thinking this will be done within a month or so. So Im just hoping for the best and trying to get everything organized for you.|[[JediSith999]], Founder}}<br />
<br />
A rough design was constructed [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39593] and submitted to the jediknightii.net team who agreed to host it [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=41183]. DJ Sith agreed to host the academy's first server in Dallas, Texas [http://www.thejediacademy.net/servers_detail.php?f_id=2].<br />
<br />
{{quote|i do think it will help convert dozens, maybe hundreds, to the dork nation by giving them some pointers on how to play the game...|[[massadoobie]], Webmaster}}<br />

==Provided==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy provides instructional tutoring on dueling technique, team based game types, and everything in general that goes along with [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. There are currently four [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s that teach different classes. The [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank helps the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s with class'. Both the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] rank and the [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank have a Padawan system for those who cannot attend classes or wish to work more closely and get one on one help.<br />
<br />
Along with the teachings that they give, they also provide a nice atmosphere for anyone and everyone that comes across the servers.<br />
<br />
==Sports==<br />
<br />
{{Main|Jedi Academy Aurochs}}<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy Aurochs are the official sports team of [[The Jedi Academy]]. Members from the Academy are recruited into the Aurochs to represent the community both in fighting ability and in good sportsmanship. The Aurochs compete in [[TFFA]] and [[Duel Mode|Duel]] matches against other teams in [[JK3]]. The JAA also takes an active role in contributing back to the Academy and also to the entire JK3 community. As such, the Aurochs comprise the very best of the Academy.<br />
<br />
The first Academy team to carry the name "Aurochs" was originally created by [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[(SKX) Dark Blade]] as a casual [[Hydroball]] team at the Academy. Who the original players were and how active the team was at that time is unknown today. All that is known is the team eventually fizzled out with the arrivial of [[JK3]].<br />
<br />
In 2003, Aphex created the first version of the Aurochs as they are today. He invisioned a team of Academy members that could go out and compete against other clans/teams in Duels and TFFA while representing the Academy. Aphex wanted the Aurochs to spread word of the Academy to various players in JK3 that didn't know about it and needed help.<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />
<br />
See [[Jedi Academy Ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Hall of Fame==<br />
<br />
The Hall of Fame is for very deserving members of the academy that have provided a very fundamental contribution to its developement and is maintained by the [[Jedi Academy Council]].<br />

<div>{{Attention}}<br />
The Jedi Academy is a community of Star Wars fans, with the purpose of teaching people to play [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. Their website is [http://www.thejediacademy.net http://www.thejediacademy.net]. The Academy hosts a number of private [[server|servers]], where the members can have fun and practice [[Duel Mode|dueling]], as well as attend [[Class|classes]] to learn new skills. The goal of The Jedi Academy is simply "To help you become a better Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy player." The Academy has many different [[Jedi Academy Ranks|ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
{{quote|The Jedi Academy is a collection of individuals who have a common interest in playing multiplayer Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. We are a multi-national group that constantly strives to provide a friendly and respectful setting in which to learn the game.<br /><br />We provide instruction primarily on lightsaber dueling technique, but also team-based and capture-the-flag strategies. The Academy holds numerous weekly classes that focus attention on specific aspects of the game, taught and assisted by Jedi Academy Trainers and Knights culled from our ranks.<br /><br />The Academy also provides a collection of Forums to allow for the discussion of various aspects of Star Wars, Jedi Knight, and other miscellaneous topics.|[[DJ Sith]]}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy was concepted by [[JediSith999]] in 2002 when he posted on [http://www.lucasforums.com/ Lucasforums] looking for a "Jedi Academy Training School" for [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=37324]. The responses were fairly positive but the only suggestion he received was that he should consider joining a clan. Even in that thread, people had already began to collaborate knowledge and teach eachother new things.<br />
<br />
Enthusiastic about the idea, he applied for webspace at [http://www.jediknightii.net jediknightii.net] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=39096] and upon receiving a very positive response, sought the help of webmasters [[massadoobie]] and [[DJ Sith]] to build a website that would see instructors teach students, classes and padawans in an online school called "The Jedi Academy" [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39227].<br />
<br />
{{quote|I always wanted someone to train me, but nooone did, so I think it would be nice to train others. I hope JK2.net accepts the site. Im thinking this will be done within a month or so. So Im just hoping for the best and trying to get everything organized for you.|[[JediSith999]], Founder}}<br />
<br />
A rough design was constructed [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39593] and submitted to the jediknightii.net team who agreed to host it [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=41183]. DJ Sith agreed to host the academy's first server in Dallas, Texas [http://www.thejediacademy.net/servers_detail.php?f_id=2].<br />

==Provided==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy provides instructional tutoring on dueling technique, team based game types, and everything in general that goes along with [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. There are currently four [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s that teach different classes. The [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank helps the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s with class'. Both the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] rank and the [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank have a Padawan system for those who cannot attend classes or wish to work more closely and get one on one help.<br />
<br />
Along with the teachings that they give, they also provide a nice atmosphere for anyone and everyone that comes across the servers.<br />
<br />
==Sports==<br />
<br />
{{Main|Jedi Academy Aurochs}}<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy Aurochs are the official sports team of [[The Jedi Academy]]. Members from the Academy are recruited into the Aurochs to represent the community both in fighting ability and in good sportsmanship. The Aurochs compete in [[TFFA]] and [[Duel Mode|Duel]] matches against other teams in [[JK3]]. The JAA also takes an active role in contributing back to the Academy and also to the entire JK3 community. As such, the Aurochs comprise the very best of the Academy.<br />
<br />
The first Academy team to carry the name "Aurochs" was originally created by [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[(SKX) Dark Blade]] as a casual [[Hydroball]] team at the Academy. Who the original players were and how active the team was at that time is unknown today. All that is known is the team eventually fizzled out with the arrivial of [[JK3]].<br />
<br />
In 2003, Aphex created the first version of the Aurochs as they are today. He invisioned a team of Academy members that could go out and compete against other clans/teams in Duels and TFFA while representing the Academy. Aphex wanted the Aurochs to spread word of the Academy to various players in JK3 that didn't know about it and needed help.<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />
<br />
See [[Jedi Academy Ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Hall of Fame==<br />
<br />
The Hall of Fame is for very deserving members of the academy that have provided a very fundamental contribution to its developement and is maintained by the [[Jedi Academy Council]].<br />

<div>{{Attention}}<br />
The Jedi Academy is a community of Star Wars fans, with the purpose of teaching people to play [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. Their website is [http://www.thejediacademy.net http://www.thejediacademy.net]. The Academy hosts a number of private [[server|servers]], where the members can have fun and practice [[Duel Mode|dueling]], as well as attend [[Class|classes]] to learn new skills. The goal of The Jedi Academy is simply "To help you become a better Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy player." The Academy has many different [[Jedi Academy Ranks|ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
{{quote|The Jedi Academy is a collection of individuals who have a common interest in playing multiplayer Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. We are a multi-national group that constantly strives to provide a friendly and respectful setting in which to learn the game.<br /><br />We provide instruction primarily on lightsaber dueling technique, but also team-based and capture-the-flag strategies. The Academy holds numerous weekly classes that focus attention on specific aspects of the game, taught and assisted by Jedi Academy Trainers and Knights culled from our ranks.<br /><br />The Academy also provides a collection of Forums to allow for the discussion of various aspects of Star Wars, Jedi Knight, and other miscellaneous topics.|[[DJ Sith]]}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy was concepted by [[JediSith999]] in 2002 when he posted on [http://www.lucasforums.com/ Lucasforums] looking for a "Jedi Academy Training School" for [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=37324]. The responses were fairly positive but the only suggestion he received was that he should consider joining a clan. Even in that thread, people had already began to collaborate knowledge and teach eachother new things.<br />
<br />

==Provided==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy provides instructional tutoring on dueling technique, team based game types, and everything in general that goes along with [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. There are currently four [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s that teach different classes. The [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank helps the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s with class'. Both the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] rank and the [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank have a Padawan system for those who cannot attend classes or wish to work more closely and get one on one help.<br />
<br />
Along with the teachings that they give, they also provide a nice atmosphere for anyone and everyone that comes across the servers.<br />
<br />
==Sports==<br />
<br />
{{Main|Jedi Academy Aurochs}}<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy Aurochs are the official sports team of [[The Jedi Academy]]. Members from the Academy are recruited into the Aurochs to represent the community both in fighting ability and in good sportsmanship. The Aurochs compete in [[TFFA]] and [[Duel Mode|Duel]] matches against other teams in [[JK3]]. The JAA also takes an active role in contributing back to the Academy and also to the entire JK3 community. As such, the Aurochs comprise the very best of the Academy.<br />
<br />
The first Academy team to carry the name "Aurochs" was originally created by [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[(SKX) Dark Blade]] as a casual [[Hydroball]] team at the Academy. Who the original players were and how active the team was at that time is unknown today. All that is known is the team eventually fizzled out with the arrivial of [[JK3]].<br />
<br />
In 2003, Aphex created the first version of the Aurochs as they are today. He invisioned a team of Academy members that could go out and compete against other clans/teams in Duels and TFFA while representing the Academy. Aphex wanted the Aurochs to spread word of the Academy to various players in JK3 that didn't know about it and needed help.<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />
<br />
See [[Jedi Academy Ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Hall of Fame==<br />
<br />
The Hall of Fame is for very deserving members of the academy that have provided a very fundamental contribution to its developement and is maintained by the [[Jedi Academy Council]].<br />

<div>{{Attention}}<br />
The Jedi Academy is a community of Star Wars fans, with the purpose of teaching people to play [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. Their website is [http://www.thejediacademy.net http://www.thejediacademy.net]. The Academy hosts a number of private [[server|servers]], where the members can have fun and practice [[Duel Mode|dueling]], as well as attend [[Class|classes]] to learn new skills. The goal of The Jedi Academy is simply "To help you become a better Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy player." The Academy has many different [[Jedi Academy Ranks|ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
{{quote|The Jedi Academy is a collection of individuals who have a common interest in playing multiplayer Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. We are a multi-national group that constantly strives to provide a friendly and respectful setting in which to learn the game.<br /><br />We provide instruction primarily on lightsaber dueling technique, but also team-based and capture-the-flag strategies. The Academy holds numerous weekly classes that focus attention on specific aspects of the game, taught and assisted by Jedi Academy Trainers and Knights culled from our ranks.<br /><br />The Academy also provides a collection of Forums to allow for the discussion of various aspects of Star Wars, Jedi Knight, and other miscellaneous topics.|[[DJ Sith]]}}<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy was concepted by [[JediSith999]] in 2002 when he posted on [http://www.lucasforums.com/ Lucasforums] looking for a "Jedi Academy Training School" for [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=37324]. The responses were fairly positive but the only suggestion he received was that he should consider joining a clan. Even in that thread, people had already began to collaborate knowledge and teach eachother new things.<br />
<br />
Enthusiastic about the idea, he applied for webspace at [http://www.jediknightii.net jediknightii.net] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=39096] and upon receiving a very positive response, sought the help of webmasters [[massadoobie]] and [[DJ Sith]] to build a website that would see instructors teach students, classes and padawans in an online school called "The Jedi Academy" [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39227].<br />
<br />
{{quote|I always wanted someone to train me, but nooone did, so I think it would be nice to train others. I hope JK2.net accepts the site. Im thinking this will be done within a month or so. So Im just hoping for the best and trying to get everything organized for you.|[[JediSith999]], Founder}}<br />
<br />
A rough design was constructed [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39593] and submitted to the jediknightii.net team who agreed to host it [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=41183]. DJ Sith agreed to host the academy's first server in Dallas, Texas [http://www.thejediacademy.net/servers_detail.php?f_id=2].<br />

==Provided==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy provides instructional tutoring on dueling technique, team based game types, and everything in general that goes along with [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. There are currently four [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s that teach different classes. The [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank helps the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s with class'. Both the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] rank and the [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank have a Padawan system for those who cannot attend classes or wish to work more closely and get one on one help.<br />
<br />
Along with the teachings that they give, they also provide a nice atmosphere for anyone and everyone that comes across the servers.<br />
<br />
==Sports==<br />
<br />
{{Main|Jedi Academy Aurochs}}<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy Aurochs are the official sports team of [[The Jedi Academy]]. Members from the Academy are recruited into the Aurochs to represent the community both in fighting ability and in good sportsmanship. The Aurochs compete in [[TFFA]] and [[Duel Mode|Duel]] matches against other teams in [[JK3]]. The JAA also takes an active role in contributing back to the Academy and also to the entire JK3 community. As such, the Aurochs comprise the very best of the Academy.<br />
<br />
The first Academy team to carry the name "Aurochs" was originally created by [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[(SKX) Dark Blade]] as a casual [[Hydroball]] team at the Academy. Who the original players were and how active the team was at that time is unknown today. All that is known is the team eventually fizzled out with the arrivial of [[JK3]].<br />
<br />
In 2003, Aphex created the first version of the Aurochs as they are today. He invisioned a team of Academy members that could go out and compete against other clans/teams in Duels and TFFA while representing the Academy. Aphex wanted the Aurochs to spread word of the Academy to various players in JK3 that didn't know about it and needed help.<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />
<br />
See [[Jedi Academy Ranks]].<br />
<br />
==Hall of Fame==<br />
<br />
The Hall of Fame is for very deserving members of the academy that have provided a very fundamental contribution to its developement and is maintained by the [[Jedi Academy Council]].<br />

JATs are also high-level admins and have full admin access on the Academy Servers. The Jedi Academy Trainers have more influence on JA policy and are the true backbone to the executive side of the Academy's Staff. <br />
<br />
==Holocron Information==<br />
<br />
Quote from the Academy's [[Holocron]]:<br><br />
"''Trainers are the heart of the academy. They keep running classes on weekly basis and have full access to admin commands to keep order on servers. These are the right guys to ask if you have a serious problem or want to learn some extra stuff. Notice however that they’re only human and have to care about many other things. Be patient with them, and respect them for their hard work for the academy.''<br />
<br />
=="Trainer" Admin Access==<br />
<br />
Jedi Academy Trainers, aswell as [[Jedi Academy Master]]s and [[Jedi Academy Council|Council Members]] have "Trainer" Admin Access, this means they can use any of the following commands:<br />

<br />
==Classes==<br />
<br />
As an Instructor, it is required that you hold Classes for it's Members to attend and learn from.<br />
The Instructor can decide for himself how many Classes he wants to teach (minimal requirement is 1), and what he wants to teach in his Classes.<br />
<br />
The most common Classes are Classes that are focussed on the [[Force Powers|Force]], [[weapon]]s and the [[Lightsaber]].<br />
<br />
Not all of the Classes that an Instructor holds have to be serious, or aimed at learning. An Instructor can choose to hold a class that is soley aimed at having fun, like going to a Public Server to play against non-[[The Jedi Academy|Jedi Academy]] Members, having a [[Capture the Flag|CTF]]/[[Team Free For All|TFFA]]/[[Siege]] match, playing Jedi vs. Merc (Empowered vs. Terminator) or something else.<br />

<br />
Hailing in from a small village near of Vienna in Austria, Laziana joined the Jedi Academy on October 8th 2006. After meeting several people and attending some classes it was clear for him (yes, he is male, just plays a female character in game) that he had found a place where people are nice and are really worth to spend time with.<br />
<br />
On February 28th 2007, [[Dash Starlight]] took Laziana under his wing as [[Padawan]].<br />
<br />
Exactly two month later, on April 28th 2007, Laziana was promoted into the rank of a [[Jedi Academy Knight]] after overcoming the trials.<br />
<br />
It took Laziana some time to be comfortable with the additional duties and responsibilities. Finally Laziana selected Maher Senatu as his first Padawan on August 31st 2007.<br />
<br />
On September 26th - almost five month after overcoming the JAK Trials, Laziana was promoted into the rank of a [[Jedi Academy Trainer]].<br />
<br />
Currently, Laziana teaches a Basic [[Yellow stance|Medium Stance]] class on Mondays.<br />
<br />
Laziana uses a single saber and follows the way of the [[Yellow stance]].<br />
<br />
Also, Laziana frequently hosts shows on Jedi Academy Radio which are slowly getting more popularity as time goes by. Although there is no fixed shedule yet for regular shows, people are mostly happy to listen when the JA Radio is on air.<br />

He's the man who thinks that the absolute truth doesn't exist and everything is at constant improving, everything, once again, e-v-e-r-y single thing. Even the letters and meaning of this text. Nothing is self-evidence. But if you want to get atleast something out about Maher's personality, you can start with looking at his principles.<br />
<br />
Most importantly he's very empathic character, so you can be sure that he isn't some kind of hannibal lecter, who's playing with people feelings just for he can eat them. Not at all. But you can be sure if you are doubting about his sentences/sayings/deeds, you are not his friend. Paradox ? nah Maher will tell when he's liking from somebody, way or another.<br />
<br />
So why? what! when? writer started to describe about Maher's Personality when he needed to talk about principles and all that jibberish about ''you can't describe his personality!'' hah! that's the point. Empathy is to Maher, a principle, a tool, how he's dealing things everyday and that's also why he can do so many crazy things at the same time.<br />
<br />
<br />
Can you image what bottles of beer can do for this man. tsk tsk<br />
<br />
<br />
Which is totally another subject, but smoothly gives foundation for this subject; Empathy is a great gift and everybody can train on it, but It is also a great curse if done wrong way. This is why everybody are rather dull 'balanced' persons because they afraid to show their feelings.<br />
<br />
<br />
''"There is no Emotions, There is Peace"''<br />
<br />
- The Jedi Code<br />
<br />
<br />
Before this guideline, Maher didn't see the tree from the forest. Literally he didn't regonize his own feelings, what were positives and what were negatives. So you can image what is a meeting without a decent chairman ? and this is when Maher's master jumps in, Laziana, who gave him most important instrument to control himself; Patience. As any instrument, you need to learn how to play with it.<br />
In best case you have a tool now how to train and improve your character. So yeah you noticed, vòila, It is Maher's second principle!<br />
<br />
A Principle For The Principle, Which helps you to be even more empathic! As you don't have any negative feelings because you have regonized them with patience and then you can lock them with patience. As in result you are positive and empathic person. yet It is impossible to regonize all the feelings for your life time. So for the start why not pick up the worst ones, You need to be sure that feelings such as Fear, Hate, Anger, Frustration are miles away from you. That way you will do atleast minium dmg for your mentality.<br />
<br />
So eh ? Silly man with positive thoughts, he's a toy, naive person and you are also wrong again. Maher's very careful how he's picking his friends because without friends He simply is nothing. That's why being friend to Maher, you need to improve with him or catch him at very next bus-stop. Anyhow being nothing is still interesting perspective, so such a subject doesn't afraid Maher, He need to just find another hobby! <br />
<br />
The Third Tool, The Last Principle is fun! When life is so dang serious, you need to laugh at it and Maher has laughed so many times, yet with good taste as people are different.<br />
<br />
<br />
All in all, don't afraid approach him with difficult subjects, He has seen a lot of life for so young.<br />

<br />
Hailing in from a small village near of Vienna in Austria, Laziana joined the Jedi Academy on October 8th 2006. After meeting several people and attending some classes it was clear for him (yes, he is male, just plays a female character in game) that he had found a place where people are nice and are really worth to spend time with.<br />
<br />
On February 28th 2007, [[Dash Starlight]] took Laziana under his wing as [[Padawan]].<br />
<br />
Exactly two month later, on April 28th 2007, Laziana was promoted into the rank of a [[Jedi Academy Knight]] after overcoming the trials.<br />
<br />
It took Laziana some time to be comfortable with the additional duties and responsibilities. Finally Laziana selected Maher Senatu as his first Padawan on August 31st 2007.<br />
<br />
On September 26th - almost five month after overcoming the JAK Trials, Laziana was promoted into the rank of a [[Jedi Academy Trainer]].<br />
<br />
Currently, Laziana teaches a Basic [[Yellow stance|Medium Stance]] class on Mondays.<br />
<br />
Laziana uses a single saber and follows the way of the [[Yellow stance]].<br />
<br />
Also, Laziana frequently hosts shows on Jedi Academy Radio which are slowly getting more popularity as time goes by. Although there is no fixed shedule yet for regular shows, people are mostly happy to listen when the JA Radio is on air.<br />

<hr />
<div>A JAK is a position at [[The Jedi Academy]] which provides a vital link between the students and trainers. These JAK are shining products of the Academy's teachings. A JAK does not have the ability to teach classes but can assist students in one-on-one training and take over classes if needed. The primary role of the Knights are to be admins on the servers and enforce the rules. <br />
<br />
Quote from the Academy's [[Holocron]]:<br><br />
''Jedi Academy Knight (JAK) - Knights are the bridge between the upper management and the students, so if you feel ignored from the big boys, go to the JAKs and they will support you. These are the students’ best friends. Treat them that way. They are meant to assist the teachers on giving classes, keeping order on servers and generally helping students out. Knights are not chosen for “l33t” skills (although they should be good fighters of course) but for their attitude. Also, they have limited access to admin commands, so they can keep order at the servers as well. If you’re having trouble or want to learn some basic stuff, knights are the first place to go to.''<br />

==The Selection Process - Becoming a Knight==<br />
<br />
===Toggling===<br />
Knights are selected from the [[Jedi Academy|Academy]] [[Jedi Academy Student|Student]] body by the [[Jedi Academy Trainer|Jedi Academy Trainers]]. Other Knights can make recommendations but only the JATs have the power to "toggle" a Student. Typically, a Student must be a member of the Academy for at least 4 months before being eligable for Knighthood. Most Knights have been JA Students for 6 months to over a year before reaching that rank, though. Students are recommended for Knighthood both by the Students and by other Knights in their respective threads at the Academy's [http://www.thejediacademy.net/forums_detail_page.php?f_id=5932 Forums]. When the JATs and the [[Jedi Academy Council|JACs]] decide the Academy needs more Knights, the JATs go through the recommendations and toggle a "batch" of potential Knights. Batches are usually between 3-7 potentials. Today, the actual toggling is done by the JACs and the JATs simply vote in a thread for each potential. <br />
Each JAT has a limited number of votes they can use. If a potential gets enough votes, he or she gets toggled by the JAC. Once toggled, they can take the next step: the written test.<br />
<br />
===Desired Qualities===<br />
Potential Knights usually have these qualities:<br />
* '''Attitude''' - Knights must be likeable and mature. They need to be able to think through conflicts rationally and not display negative emotion towards others. Knights must respect each member of the Academy. Basically, they need to act like "Knights."<br />
* '''Skilled''' - The Academy wants its Knights to be good examples as fighters. The Knights are the future [[Jedi Academy Trainer|Trainers]] and need to be able to play the game well. <br />
* '''Popular''' - The Academy has a lot of students and it's hard to stand out amongst them. Almost all of the Academy's Knights are well liked and popular with both the students and the staff.<br />
* '''Able to Teach''' - While the Knights do not teach classes at the Academy, they are the next in line to do so. Therefore, a potential's ability to teach is usually a hot topic in the Knight selection process.<br />
<br />
===The Written Exam===<br />
Once toggled, a slight change happens on the Academy's [http://www.thejediacademy.net website] that lets the student know he's been selected. Through this, the student can take the written exam required before taking the trial. The exam is a special part of the website that asks roughly 5-6 questions and gives spaces for the answers. Questions range in topics about the game, about administration, and about the student's experience at the Academy. Most toggled students will discover that everytime they load the exam page different questions are asked. This can be very frustrating to students who have written their answers in a word processor and are returning to post their answers. Once submitted, the Knights, Trainers, and Council review and comment on the answers. A JAC's approval is required for the toggled student to advance to the trials. Most students end up having to modify and resubmit their exams to pass.<br />
<br />
===The Trial===<br />
The Knight Trial is the most secretive part of the selection process. It is also the most difficult. While the actual details of the trial cannot be revealed, it's common knowledge that the trials test an individual on their skill in the game and their ability to handle special situations. The Knight Trials have been through many renovations through the existance of the Academy. Currently, the trials are divided up into multiple parts with special maps made for each one. For a trial to take place, at least 1 JAT must be present and leads the trial. There also must be at least 2 other ranked members of the Academy there. The trial cannot have more than 5 people attending - including the potential knight. The outcome of the trial is determined by the leading JAT with the input of the others administering it. If the potential fails, he or she will have one more oppourtunity in two weeks before being detoggled.<br />
<br />
==Powers and Abilities==<br />
<br />
==="Knight Level" Admin Access===<br />
On the Academy servers, the Knights have these abilities:<br />
* '''Status''' (amstatus): Shows all connected clients, their ID number, and their IP address. Knights use this command to give the IP addresses to higher ranked members to either take action against or look up information on. The ID numbers can also be used to excecute other commands.<br />
* '''Admin Chat''' (amsay): A special chat visable only to logged-in admins. Knights use this to talk about things they don't want the [[Jedi Academy Student|Students]] to know about or simply talk to other admins. <br />
* '''Origin''' (amorigin): Tells the Knight the location of a certain player on the map in X, Y, Z, YAW format, where YAW is the direction the player is facing.<br />
* '''Teleport''' (amtele): A Knight can "teleport" himself or another person to any coordinate on the map.<br />
* '''Silence''' (amsilence & amunsilence): Removes a client's ability to chat.<br />
* '''MP Say''' (ampsay): Displays a special message to the selected individual and appears in the middle of the players screen<br />
* '''Kick''' (amkick): Removes someone from the server.<br />
*'''Sleep''' (amsleep and amwake): Sleeps the selected player, rendering them immobile.<br />
*'''Protect''' (amprotect and amunprotect): Protects the selected player against all damage. <br />
*'''Show MOTD''' (amshowmotd): Shows the MOTD to the selected player.<br />
<br />
With the rebirth of the JAbot, Knights have "Knight Level Access" commands which include kicking and host specific banning users in the #jedi-academy channel on IRC.<br />
<br />
The Knights have no admin access on the website, but they do have access to the ftp server.<br />
<br />
==="Official" Padawans===<br />
One of the perks of being a Knight is the ability to take a student as your [[padawan]]. The padawans of Knights are considered "official padawans" in the Academy and show up under the Knight's profile.<br />
<br />
===Official Event Coordinators===<br />
Among their responsibilities to the Academy, Knights commonly plan, organize, and lead official events and projects. These events primarily include tournaments (The [[Thanksgiving Invitational Tournament]] and [[JAK Tournament|JAK+ Tournament]]). A few examples of projects that JAKs have had an active role in would be the making of the current [[JA Skin Pack]] and Hilt Pack (currently in the works).<br />

<br />
Hailing in from a small village near of Vienna in Austria, Laziana joined the Jedi Academy on October 8th 2006. After meeting several people and attending some classes it was clear for him (yes, he is male, just plays a female character in game) that he had found a place where people are nice and are really worth to spend time with.<br />
<br />
On February 28th 2007, [[Dash Starlight]] took Laziana under his wing as [[Padawan]].<br />
<br />
Exactly two month later, on April 28th 2007, Laziana was promoted into the rank of a [[Jedi Academy Knight]] after overcoming the trials.<br />
<br />
Laziana uses a single saber and follows the way of the [[Yellow stance]].<br />
