Academy Renovations

[Navaria Tarkin]

Other thread kinda got cluttered.

I would like to start a fresh thread about the changes that most agreed upon.

Still, I like to break it down into subforums. Listing the different types of training there is. Combat, healing, metalist ablities, physical ones like telekinesis etc....

Just with all the new people, sooner we get this done the better methinks.

[Sanis Prent]

Please use the custodian...its what he's there for :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

Oh crap, I havent given descriptions and stuff to Mr SWFan.net.... x_x

[Xazor Elessar]

That's a great idea Nav.....I think to split it up like that would be excellent and it would help everyone a lot! ;)

[Navaria Tarkin]

kicks Marcus

=^_^=

[Marcus Telcontar]

And again, my avatar is proven truuuuuuuuuuuu.....

[Kelt Simoson]

Good idea Nav :)

[Salemn Lysce]

Yes, subforums would be a great idea. :)

[Navaria Tarkin]

So are we in agreement?

Combat - Sabres and Hand to Hand

Sense - Mind orientated powers

Alter - (thinks this needs a better name) Things like TK, and much higher levels fun things like possible matter control :lol

Control - How to control ones own body. Healing would go under here

Control Alter and Sense are the general names given in the sw table top rping game and think they would apply here. And, only four subforums :D

[Sene Unty]

I like them all....it will be cool.:D

Will all sparring matches be held in the Combat subsection? Or are these simply classes where we will go to learn new things in each. Will knights and Masters be holding classes in each section.....like a master teaching his or her style of fighting....?

[AmazonBabe]

Sounds good to me. Nice, clean, and simple. :)

[Vega Van-Derveld]

Would Alter include elementalism, etc?

[Oriadin]

What does elementalism mean?

What about a place to learn things like diplomacy, history and stuff like that. Theory sorta work.

[Vega Van-Derveld]

The mastering of the elements. Say how some people work with wind and tornadoes, or ice, etc.

Maybe history, etc could go in Sense?

[Navaria Tarkin]

Well there could be a fifth forum for things like that. I just don't see it getting used a lot :\

and yes, elemental powers would go under alter.

[Xazor Elessar]

Coolios! ;)

Of course, I'll be found in the Sense forum....... ;) Hehehehehe....me and my illusions.....*Hey kids, time for a magic show!* :lol ;)

Maybe could we have a place of Counsel, where Jedi go to speak with another about problems such as anger and fear?? These are lessons to be learned as well.....:) *just a suggestion*

[Liam Jinn]

I like the other names better. Warrior, Healer, blah and blah...you know :)

[Verse Dawnstrider]

i agree with liam

[Oriadin]

That probably would make it easier to understand which post should go in which room, I would think.

[Navaria Tarkin]

That is what the forum description is for :)

[Helenias Evenstar]

I like this idea a lot.

[Levi Argon]

:thumbup to Control, Sense, Alter and Combat subforums. Best way to classify all abbilities in my opinion.

[Alpha]

Nice. :) I like it

I'll be in the Alter and Combat mainly. :D

[Salemn Lysce]

Er, not trying to sound mean or anything but this has been discussed for some time. Can we actually finally set up the sub-forums ? I'm trying not to start my new Padawans' threads yet so I can do it after the renovations are done. ^_^;

Now, GO!

[Marcus Telcontar]

Control

Sense

Alter

Combat - Training rooms for the Jedi Arts of combat. Sabre fighting, hand to hand, other weapons.


Anyone want to write other forum descriptions? It's too dang early for my brain to be in bear

[TheHolo.Net]

I have made the forums and will add descriptions as they are agreed upon here. Could someone with access to the GJO webspace for vB mages please change offlock.gif to be the same image as folder.gif and change onlock.gif to be the same image as newfolder.gif?

[Morgan Evanar]

I don't have access to the space anymore.

[TheHolo.Net]

Okay, its just that changing the images will make it so that the forum will not appear locked as it does at first glance right now from the GJo main index. The subforums are open for posting, its just the images need to be changed so it looks like it on the face of GJO.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Ye do now Meanie-Head :p

[TheHolo.Net]

Someone switched the images wrong. It is showing the same image for folder.gif in the place of onlock.gif,

It should be:

offlock.gif = folder.gif
onlock.gif = newfolder.gif

[TheHolo.Net]

All better now, thanks. :)

Lets get those descriptions done.

[Lillian Snow]

Forum descriptions? Would these work?

Sense - Learn to use the Force to sense your surroundings, cast illusions, and perform mind tricks.

Alter - Here you will be taught to use the Force for telekinesis and telepathy.

Control - Learn to use the Force to heal and boost your own abilites.

[Navaria Tarkin]

wow peeps liked my idea :) thanks!

As for descriptions .. hrmp .. good start with Lillian :)

Control - Learn the abilities to exert influence over ones own body and how to project ones thoughts (Telepathy)

Alter - Learn how to lift objects with the mind (Telekinesis)

Sense - Learn how to expand ones senses outward and be receptive to other beings presences.

?

[Salemn Lysce]

I thought we were also having a Naturalist section. O_o

[Marcus Telcontar]

Why does NAturalist make me think of nudist?

[TheHolo.Net]

Elementalist/Naturalist would be classified as “Alter” ability.

[Salemn Lysce]

Ah, thanks for clearing that up

[Sene Unty]

Because Naturalists are a nicer way of say nudist.....

[Oriadin]

Not that im an expert or anything, lol, but isnt it Naturist?

[Marcus Telcontar]

* Bob the Builder walkis in with a saw and a plank of wood *

Hey, I hear there's a job for me around here?

OKay then, lets sing!

Bob the Builder!
Cann we fix it?
Yes we can!






Hangs head in shame.... sorry

[Sene Unty]

Naturalist....Naturist.....same thing!!! :D

[Salemn Lysce]

So .. is it safe for me to start James' training thread in the Alter subforum ? Or ... ?

[TheHolo.Net]

Yes, its safe.

Here is what I have put together based on suggestions so far. If no one has better suggestions or complaints in the next day or so, I will make them the descriptions for the sub-forums:

Control - Learn the abilities to exert influence over ones own body and how to project ones thoughts (Telepathy). Use the Force to heal and boost your own abilities.

Alter - Learn how to lift objects with the mind (Telekinesis), and other mind over matter abilities.

Sense - Learn how to expand one's senses outward and be receptive to other being's presences and emotions.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Cool by me

[Navaria Tarkin]

I like but healing is more of a control power tho :) And is controlling your body.... :)

[TheHolo.Net]

Fixed.

[Navaria Tarkin]

Gives Swfans a cookie ;)

[Zeke]

Swizzle.
