Introduction This will be the third installment of the JK:JA Anniversary Tournament, where the aim of the tournament is to bring together the entire community for one big event to celebrate the anniversary of the release of Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, so we will start the tournament on the weekend before this date, so the event will begin on the 15th September 2018. This will be a 2v2 team based tournament and the bracket will be completely randomised but, you can choose your teammate. Due to how tournaments work, there is likely to include qualifying matches to round the tournament to a power of 2 bracket (32, 64, 128 etc).  The tournament is open to everyone that plays Jedi Academy and there is no limit on the number of players that can take part, so potentially we’ll have quite a large tournament like the past two events (Up to 79 players), which will span several weeks. Every match will be recorded and put on our YouTube account in glorious 1080p for everyone to watch as the tournament progresses over the weeks.  For rules, an overview of how the tournament will work and how to sign up, see our Arcadia news post for full details. What to do next!

For our first Podcast, we sat down with one of the more famous competitive players in Jedi Academy, Shake! From his early days learning the ropes in social communities to competing at high level, we go in depth about his time in the game and what is in store going forward for Shake. You can follow Shake on plays.tv and also Twitch: https://plays.tv/u/ShakeJKA https://www.twitch.tv/ShakeThatSalt

Thanks Circa, really appreciate that. A LOT going on right now with Arcadia, so it's worth checking out =) Our discord has tripled in size so it's worth checking out https://discord.gg/BrYUgdM When do we officially launch? We will be launching on the day of the Epoch officially, which is the 30th June. On that date, I'd like to encourage Arcadia hosted clans to use us as their main server, so that our server activity will kick off. Awards I have added awards to the forum, which should start appearing on your profile, side panels in posts etc See below for a list of awards I've put together. More to be added but this is the baseline prior to launch. "Clans" Changes Over the next week or so, I'm going to be expanding our Clans area so that Leaders have more control over their sections and can do A LOT more. More details in another thread later. I've also added another section to your profile area. See below. I'm hopefully going to look at making this automatic in the future so there's less manual work involved when updating your clan status. The Base Academy This is on hold as Water is on a LOA. We're looking to get another teacher in his place until his return. Arcadia Epoch Changes During the CTF/Siege test runs at the weekend, a lot of issues came up which may result in me having to scrap these events from the Epoch. Hopefully I won't need to do this, but if I do I'll replace it with some good events. Movie Nights Big thanks to Dai for hosting some amazing movie nights the past 3 weeks. We've seen Bladerunner, American Psycho, John Wick. These are a lot of fun and I encourage people to attend one to see what you're missing out on. New Staff Unsure if I've announced one or two of these already, however please welcome MrDJSilva to advocates and Leonhart + Arluen to Event Hosts! Servers So far our servers have been well received by those using them. Our base server has gone through a few tweaks. If you have any suggestions then by all means shout and I'll have a look. Advertisements Big thanks to everyone who has advertised for us over the past week, our numbers have tripled in a very short time which is really impressive. We've got a LONG way to go though, so if you have any JKA friends who aren't aware of Arcadia, then you're our best way of advertising!

The goal behind Arcadia.gg is to provide a means for new clans to start without having to worry about expense or exposure. We provide both a base and a JA+ server that you can use as your clans home, as well as your own unique clan section on our website. The benefits of having a communal server that is shared with other clans is more exposure on an active server, with the alternative being purchasing your own server with no activity to start with, which are both main reasons for clans not getting very far off the ground. We also host monthly event called The Arcadia Epoch. It's a large event spanning a couple of hours, where the the winners from each event will be awarded points, and a the end of the Epoch, the points will be added up until we have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place... who will then be awarded prizes via PayPal, Steam, whatever method you prefer. We have a lot of things we'd like to advertise e.g. training, podcast, the epoch, but I don't want to overflow you guys with information. So I'll just leave a thread from our website which explains everything https://arcadia.gg/topic/2-welcome-to-arcadiagg/ We also have a discord for anyone who is interested, you can find that here: https://discord.gg/BrYUgdM I look forward to working with some of you, so far we've gathered a lot of interest. If you'd like to contact me directly on Discord, my username is Link#5548

Yeah 100% this. I'm not at home right now, but maybe we should post something on our forums so that people are aware.

Damn this is sad. Weirdly enough even when I was JAWA leader I got on with Binny quite a lot, he was just an honest sort of guy who just wanted to play his way, and there's nothing wrong with that. As Water said, hope his family is okay.

Trying to get a streamer, but our two main streamers aren't available on that day. I'll let you know closer to the event.

Done! Bracket reveal and more info: https://thejawaclan.com/topic/42436-jedi-knight-jedi-academy-anniversary-tournament-bracket-begin-your-matches/ Good luck to all those who entered

Awesome, we're at 63 participants now. Judging by the rate of people joining the tournament, I'd say we'll have between 65-75 within the next 5-6 days.

One week to go until registrations close! We're a couple short of 60 so far =D I'm aiming to get between 64 and 128 before the 17th, so if you're interested then please head on over to the thread and post!

Can't seem to find this one. Do you know where I might find it?

Oof perfect, thank you guys =D I'm still not finding the original map I had in mind, but these might do the trick.

Approaching 40 people now in a couple of days =D aiming for 64-128 !

Hello all, Over at JAWA we're making a football style event using NPCs as a ball. I've seen lots of maps over the years which feature areas that allow you to run events like this... essentially a big football field, ice hockey rink, those sorts of maps/areas. Here is an example: https://jkhub.org/files/file/525-stadium/ Could I perhaps get suggestions on similar maps =D? I remember there being a big ice hockey area on a larger map, but I can't find it anywhere >_>

Lots of interest so far, already hit 20 people in an hour =D

Hello all, We have just announced the creation of a rather large tournament and we're inviting everyone from around the JKA community to take part For all the information, please see this page: https://thejawaclan.com/topic/42346-jedi-knight-jedi-academy-anniversary-tournament-17th-september-2016 Hope to see lots of you participate!

Very weird solution, but it works! For any one else with the same issue in the future, set these cvars: r_stencilbits 8 r_depthbits 0 r_colorbits 0 Somewhere along the line, these values got set to 32 32 32 which doesn't work too well with JKA. Many thanks to Xycaleth and Ensiform for providing this fix

Sure, here you go. Also, I have an All in One Sony Vaio. Pretty sure it's used when I'm in other high usage apps like Photoshop/Illustrator.

If that's the default, then yes, it would have been as I haven't come across that cvar.
