  1. Have you ever been in a clan that you cared a lot for? Was or is a leader of? Call it pride if you want. Sounds better than yep I paid for it thus the rights are mine X) (but thank you Wasanohime~  :P)

     

    I played before 1.01 was even out...I've seen plenty of sabotage, spies and people who join other clans to destabilize it from within, one of my server providers accidentally (lazily) copied my server for another client, can't fault me for being paranoid. But those are tales for another time.

     

    Or maybe you can say I'm like MoonDog who's left this forum since people took his stuff, used it left right center and called it theirs with a minor bit of tweaking. Not that I'm after credit. But effort / or money has been put in. Particularly if that something that has been made is unique.

  2. I paid for one or two eons ago. Creator was happy, I was happy. Incentives are good as long as one doesn't get too greedy. And of course willing buyer. If you could deliver the moon, sure I'd pay.

     

    Would have totally paid for custom items for tournament or achievements back then when JKA was still hot. Sadly those that I know and even myself have left the game now.

     

    One thing always bugged me though. Even if we had an agreement to keep the item between ourselves only, always felt that one day it might still leak out. But that's just me.

  3. Alright I'm not sure if this is the right section nor if its near possible but let me just give it a shot.

     

    Looking for this photo of Krennic - this came from the Rogue One Visual Guide - but it's too blur in the book to be of much good use...

     

    If anyone has a 999999k res of it or comes across, please let me know xo. Yes we're all waiting for the Blu-Ray/DVD but well, we like to race against time :)

  4. I've dropped him a msg, but his phone says he was last seen on in March >< so don't get too hopeful :<

     

    I did like the map too, incomplete as it was (only had that bridge, the medical bay and escape pod area), perhaps someone might make a brand new one if he never turns up again.

  5. It's not enough to bother me yet but I'll just throw it out here for Caelum and his plants...

    Using Android. China phone Xiaomi. Lol.

  6. well its a shame to see you leave. I am no fan (hate) of the new movie/what-nots that's been produced since SW was sold, but I still love the old stuff. And JKA is in that era. I don't mod / map/ anymore, but stick around to read here everyday, minus the threads made on new movie models maps...you don't have to like the new movie and its future. Me too I feel like you, but JKA/jk3files/whatever site that is related to the game is what I grew up with...would never leave it.

     

    May the Force be with you ><

  7. You're all making me sad. Warning, long post ahead. I'll forgive you if you said TLDR :D

     

    - 3 Memories that made you laugh.

     

    Back in 2005 we had this un-admined duel server in 1.00 and somehow the settings were on 15min rotations meaning each two player gets an entire 15 mins while everyone just spectates. Noobs would join and then my friends would trick them into /disco /qui gon etc to shorten the queue.

     

    Hiding in a glitch in FFA3 and shooting at people with the DEMP alt fire so it produces no visible shots. Spectating was disabled lol.

     

    Standing on folks' heads while they were taking the elevator.

     

    - 3 Memories that made you the way you more or less are, to some degree.

     

    I was a backslashing duals noob and no matter how hard I tried picking up single I just couldn't cause I'm a slow learner. Then one of my pro friends in this top clan was laughing at me in front of his other clan-mate who immediately said he'd teach me. After I improved tremendously I found out that he had stayed up til 2AM to teach me. I never forgot that he gave me a chance and sacrificed sleep for it. Now I retain the same attitude he passed on to me.

     

    I am in a clan that used to have a great Euro leader. We wanted to be top but he mentioned to me in order to do so we'd have to remove several people including the inactive ones and 'ones that just couldn't be good' (ie mentally slower IRL). I said no because I knew of two inactive guys who were faithfully loyal. My Euro counterpart left together with most his Euro followers. I was grieved but I would never trade loyalty for skills, nor leave slower folks behind and I believe that to this day.

     

    In 2003 I played in no-lamer FFA servers so I grew up with that mindset. It made me very Nazi at one point, in CTF I'd be in spectate mode literally following every single person to see if they lamed and kick them. I still dislike laming now, but am less anal about it.

     

    - 3 Memories that you regret.

     

    Being a coward pre-fixes era. I was in my server with a known pro player who was also known for crashing. A guy joined and asked if my clan had this person in it - which was him actually - and the pro player started dissing that person in my clan. I said no because I was worried he'd crash. Felt damn bad, no way to describe it.

     

    Being too hard on a clan member. He wanted a promotion so badly but I felt he could be better first even if my own skills were equally mediocre. He left and later became a very loyal member of another clan.

     

    Watching a third party destroy two big clans. This guy infiltrated most of the large clans and made his way to leadership positions and tore them apart. I was in one of those (was multi-clanning) but since I had my own clan decided to just let things play out. The second time he joined a friend's clan I wanted to tell them but it's hard because who knew if he'd changed or they might say I was being a busybody. That clan blew apart and I regret because those players left.

     

    - 3 Memories that you wish you could experience on a daily basis.

     

    I miss teamwork so badly. Loved Siege and CTF with regulars. We played so seamlessly we could turn scores and losing teams around. People would leave when me and my clan-mate or some other friends entered. I'm trying to find such teamwork elsewhere (currently L4D2) and it frustrates me to no end that I can't.

     

    Just opening the game and there would be players, better if they were regular people who I know and vice versa. JKA is a graveyard of bots and empty servers. I miss days of full servers without bots.

     

    Spending time with clan mates and friends doing stupid stuff. We'd draw pictures, take suggestive screenshots and all. Now that's been reduced to one single Christmas gathering annually.

     

    - 3 ALL TIME Memories.

     

    As Art above mentioned. Running a clan. Learnt a great deal from it and it made me a better person. More paranoid too, with all the damn crashers, infiltrators and spies from rival clans. Yea, I have trust issues after my first server provider simply copied my clan server for their new client. Sheesh. Now I run my own.

    Watching people. I love watching people in the game just playing and enjoying themselves or even arguing, like Polish players insulting Russian players over history, or is Arsenal or Man U better etc. It's entertaining and makes me smile.

     

    Learning. As mentioned I'm a slow learner. My mentor threw me into coding, hex stuff (and bloody Linux) when I had absolutely zero knowledge. I must have whined more than the whole planet combined. Somehow I survived through to make changes to Jampded and the game in general. That's years ago though and the idea of going back to what I'd call algebra makes me cringe.
