Talk

Personal Issues

If you are going through tough times or need someone to vent to about issues effecting you, please don't hesitate to contact a member of the Council. We are here to help and listen and will direct you to resources online to help you.

If you have anything you would like to talk about, speaking with someone can help and a Council member will treat the conversation in confidence and will not share it with anyone without your permission or willingness to do so and only when it's important to share or inform someone about it.

**(JAWA)** Issues

If you have an issue in **(JAWA)**, please contact a Council Member or Leader who will talk/explain and listen to your issues. Staying silent and brooding over issues or misunderstandings will not help anyone. If you have any questions about the clan or anything related to the clan, please have a look below for any answers that may already be written here. The best way to work through issues is to talk to the council.

Report...

A member of **(JAWA)**

We take reports very seriously, especially those that involve a member of our clan. If you wish to report a member of **(JAWA)** then please see a Council Member or a Leader either ingame or via a private message on the forum. Please include as much detail and evidence as you can including times, screenshots or logs. We will investigate this thoroughly.

A council member or leader of **(JAWA)**

It's not uncommon to think that just because the leaders/councils are involved with managing the clan, that they're somehow outside the rules, but in **(JAWA)** that is the exact opposite of the truth. If you've seen a member of The Council do something you want to call into question, then please either speak to a Leader ingame or via a private message. If you're calling into question something one of the Leaders has done, then please speak to the other leader who isn't involved and they will investigate it. Whoever you're reporting, please remember to always include as much evidence as you can.

A player misbehaving on the server

If you're ingame, then please use /amsay YourTextHere in the console and it'll go directly to any admins online at that time. If you want to report someone on the forum then please register an account and Make a thread with as much detail and evidence as you can here

Admin abuse

We take admin abuse very seriously, but to take action we need hard evidence to avoid any mistakes being made when it comes to removing admin from a member. Please register on our forum and make a new thread using this link which should have a form ready for you to fill out. Please include as much evidence as you can!

Something I've seen on the forum

Please use the report button next to the post you wish to bring to the attention of The Council. This will immediately inform them of an issue.

Something anonymously (Members Only)

Within **(JAWA)** Central, there is a thread detailing how members can report something anonymously. The point of this is to give members the ability to report something without worrying about exposing their identity. We would however like to make clear that when someone does report something to us, it's kept in confidence, however we are also aware that there are cautious people out there, thus why this was created to please everyone.

An error

Please report any errors on the website to TheDoctor or Crysophylax via email or on the forums through private message. If you're a member of **(JAWA)** and have seen something wrong on the Wiki, then please head on over to here for a quicker way to get the error raised.

Donate...

Using PayPal (One off donation)

First of all, thank you for your interest in donating to the clan! As you know, clans aren't cheap to maintain and require constant funding by the community. If you wish to make a one off donation using PayPal then please use this link and enter your amount. You don't need a PayPal account to donate, however it would be useful for your own records.

Using Patreon (Monthly subscription)

First of all, thank you for your interest in donating to the clan! As you know, clans aren't cheap to maintain and require constant funding by the community. Patreon is our preferred method of donating as most of our bills are due monthly and sometimes might rise/fall. If you wish to donate monthly using Patreon then please use this link and enter how much you wish to donate monthly to the clan. Anything extra is stored for later use e.g. forum addons which can cost anything between $1 - $30, so we do make use of all the money donated to us!

Learn...

About the history of **(JAWA)**

The **(JAWA)** Clan began in October 2004 when it was first founded by Matt and Iniowe. The clan has had a long rich history, which has been made possible by the over half a thousand members it has had in its lifetime. If you wish to see the full history of our clan then please head on over to our History page.

More information about the server

Our server uses the latest version of JA+ (2.4 Build 7), a mod created by Slider which is now unfortunately no longer developed. We use JA+ MP damages which are unaltered, if you'd like to check this then please use the /amdmgs command ingame. Our server is set to the default FPS of 40 to ensure that your performance is the same as on most other popular servers. We only use base hilts, so you won't find yourself downloading hilt packs to play on our server. Our server is Linux based and is currently hosted by Caelum, who has always been a major supporter of our clan and we can't thank him enough for his contributions over the years. For the server IP, a list of current admins, maps etc head on over to our Server Information page.

More information about WikiJawa

The Wiki was first set up in June 2007 by SiLink, and is based on MediaWiki, which is the framework for most of the big wikis out there including Wikipedia. In 2007, a very young naive SiLink tried to add the clans history to Wikipedia, but was quickly told by staff that it wasn't the place for it. So, he set up a wiki of his own on the clans website and called it WikiJAWA (Later renamed to just WikiJawa). The original vision was to simply host the clans history and perhaps a few member profiles, but after seeing how much potential the Wiki had, he expanded it to what it is today with the help of the Council Members and other Leaders over the years.

More information about Events held on the servers

You'll be happy to hear that we've done our best to list every event we have in one single page. So, for a list head on over to our Events page. Events can be held by any one, but planned events must only be carried out by Event Planners. You can sign up to be an Event Planner in **(JAWA)** Central on the forum (Members Only).

Who is the **(JAWA)** Champion and what is it?

The championship is held every month at The **(JAWA)** League in a best out of 3 duels match. The champion must defend their championship against whomever wins the Duel Tournament, which is held just before the championship match. If the champion can't be present, then they lose their title and it goes to the winner of the tournament. The longest reign is held by two people: HI at 11 months before he was defeated by Wodec, and BloodRaven at 11 months before being defeated by Balla. For more information and to see the current champion, see our **(JAWA)** Championship page.

About our alliances

Since the beginning, **(JAWA)** has always been looking and been very open to form new alliances with other clans and that has been proven by the fact that we've formed alliances with over 20 clans during our lifetime as a clan. There are many benefits from being an ally of **(JAWA)**, the first and biggest is the fact that allies can take part in The **(JAWA)** Ally Open Tournament which takes place around once every year where a winner is decided from a large 32 player tournament held in a 1-2 hour event. Another good reason to become an ally is the fact that our Ambassadors work very closely with allied clans to come up with events for both clans to participate in. **(JAWA)** members often visit allies more than other servers due to the fact that we're allies, so both clans would benefit from increased server traffic. For a list of current and past allies, head on over to our Alliances page.

The rules of **(JAWA)**

Like most clans, **(JAWA)** has a set of rules guarding the forum, clan and server. These rules are put in place to keep order and to allow guests to understand what sort of environment our clan is. Some rules are specific to the forum, clan or server however we do have some rules which are global in our clan such as the "No Swearing" rule. If you disagree with our rules then it's probably a good idea to simply not register on our forum or play on our server. Server Admins enforce these rules on the server and Council Members enforce them on the forum and within the clan.

We're sometimes often asked why we have certain rules such as "No Swearing" and the answer is simply that we have a wide range of visitors/members who join the clan/server from very young ages. For example a few members sometimes allow their young brother/sister to play on the server due to the friendly atmosphere, we've had cases where kids as young as 4-5 have been playing on our server. We enforce such rules to protect the younger players of our community. To see a full list of our current rules, head on over to our Rules page.

About the rank structure

Our ranks are not based on any form of ingame skills e.g. lightsaber combat. We promote people based on their activity, contributions and attitude. We have a rough guideline for how long you'll be at a given rank if you're active, and this can be found on our Ranks page. Each cyan rank has a trial attached to it, these are entirely optional and are only there for people who are more lightsaber skill based. Once all of the Cyan Trials have been completed, members have the option to go for The Master Trials which will test members to the best of their abilities for a chance to obtain the rank of Master.

Ask...

If this is the **(JAWA)** clan, where are all the Jawas?!

Back in 2004 when the clan was founded by Matt and Iniowe, it was a requirement to wear the Jawa model with a staff lightsaber. Shortly after taking over the leadership, SiLink removed these requirements and allowed members to wear whatever they wanted.

When will my forum account be activated?

Pending accounts are activated by the **(JAWA)** Leadership a few times a day, but this might take a little longer depending on the day.

What are the IP's of your game and voice servers?

Our server IP changes frequently, so to get the latest IP, head on over to our Server Information page and Discord page.

Does "JAWA" stand for something?

Sorry to let you down, but nope! There have been many suggestions made on what it COULD mean (Most popular is Juice And Water Association) but the boring truth is, it's just Jawa in uppercase!

Who is part of the current leadership?

The current leaders are TheDoctor and Crysophylax. To see a list of past leaders, see our Leaders page.

Does **(JAWA)** play any games outside of Jedi Academy?

Not officially, however members often play with each other on games such as Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto, Cards Against Humanity, Pokemon etc. Feel free to make a thread on our forum and ask for a game!

When will I receive a promotion? (Members only)

This information can be found on our Ranks page, although this all depends on your activity. If you're very active then you may receive a promotion sooner, however if you're not very active then promotions may be delayed.

Change...

My name

Changing your name in the clan is something we of course allow, however this does require a bit of effort on the part of The Council to update the wiki/forum, so please keep the name changing to a minimum otherwise you may start to be refused. To change your name, simply post in **(JAWA)** Central on the forum and let everyone know.

Something on my wiki profile or how I look on the members page

For members, you can request a change to your profile/mini icon here, for ex-members, simply private message a member of The Council.

Something in the clan

The clan is very pro-change if it makes sense and will benefit us. To propose a change, head on over to our Clan Suggestions board on the forum and post a new thread. Please check the board for previous threads to ensure your idea hasn't been suggested before, and if it has, make sure you cover the points that were previously made against it.

Create...

An alliance

We'd love to hear from you if your clan wishes to ally with us. Please be aware though that we only form alliances with clans that we have some history with or know in some capacity. We don't normally form alliances with new clans either, but this all depends on how well **(JAWA)** gets along with the other clans members. To propose an alliance, you can either speak to a Leader, Council Member or post something here.

An event

If you're interested in creating events, we strongly advise that you apply to join the Event Planners. However if you just want to make a one off event, we'd advise posting something on the forum with your event idea.

A club

Clubs are very big groups within the clan, and will only be created if there is a big demand for it. If you have a suggestion for a club then by all means post it in the Clan Suggestions board for feedback from other members.

Participate in...

Signature of the Week

This used to be a member only weekly forum event, but it is now open to all forum visitors. To see this weeks competition, check out the Signature of the Week board on the forum here.

The Sith Game

This is a VERY popular forum game, and is usually held a couple of times a year. You can view The Sith Game board here to see if there is an active roleplay going on now, otherwise perhaps ask Helena Revan about when the next one will be held.

The **(JAWA)** League (Members Only)

The league is a member only event held on the last Sunday of every month. If you wish to participate then look out for the thread made a day or so beforehand containing all the details you'll need including the password for getting onto the server. If you are currently on trial, then you can request the password from a member of The Council, but please be aware that this isn't guaranteed. More information can be found on The **(JAWA)** League page.

The **(JAWA)** Ally Open Tournament (Members/Allies Only)

On average, this event is held once every year and to join you must be part of one of the invited clans (Allies only usually), and then be selected by your clan to represent them. For more information about this event and to see past events of this type, see The **(JAWA)** Ally Open Tournament page.

The Power 10 (Members Only)

The tournament is limited to active members of the **(JAWA)** Clan. Retired Members, Trialists and former members are not permitted to compete. Participants may be removed from the tournament if they are unable to compete for an extended period.

There are two ways to enter the Power 10. The traditional method is by challenging and defeating one of the two lowest-ranked players in the bracket in a best-of-five duel match. If all ten spots are occupied, players may challenge participants ranked at place 9 and 10. Matches should conform to all Power 10 rules, and the results forwarded to the current Power 10 managers. If there are vacancies at the bottom of the list, players may ignore those spaces and challenge any of the two lowest-ranked participants. The Power 10 managers may also fill vacancies by adding players who wish to join at the bottom of the rankings. If there are vacancies at the bottom of the list, a player who challenges one of the two lowest-ranked participants and loses may be added to fill a vacancy.

For more information, see The Power 10 page.

The **(JAWA)** Ladder (Members Only)

This tournament is also limited to active members of the **(JAWA)** Clan. Retired Members, Trailists and former members are not permitted to compete. Participants will forfeit their rounds or be replaced if they are unable to complete within the deadlines of each round.

The **(JAWA)** Ladder was originally a 64 player tournament where participants would compete to win the 1st Place award which is placed on their wiki profile page. The tournament offers four awards in total, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Participant Award given to all those who compete in the tournament. These also appear on the profile pages of each member. The current Tournament is hosted by Nightwing and in order to ensure full activity only 32 members are usually allowed to compete. However if more interest is given this may be extended. You may take part in the ladder simply by signing up on the forum when Nightwing creates the sign up thread at the time.

For more information, see The **(JAWA)** Ladder.

A clan match (Members Only)

A clan match is a team free for all contest between two clans. Our current standard is to have 3 - 4 members compete in each team, however it has been known to include two members from each clan. Our clan matches are currently organised by the ambassadors club. If you would like to challenge **(JAWA)** to a clan match, you may post here on our forum here. You may also contact a member of the ambassadors via forum pm.

You can find a list of our ambassadors here.

**(JAWA)** School

**(JAWA)** School is a weekly event held by Headmistress Helena Revan. **(JAWA)** School is held every Friday, you can find our list of events on our calendar. **(JAWA)** School usually involves teaching others how to use the saber in all manner of ways, this may include but not limited to TFFA training, one on one dueling, defending against force, guns and much more. You can find out more about **(JAWA)** School on our wiki page located here.

A meet and greet (Members/Allies Only)

The Meet and Greet event is usually hosted every three months. There are two three types of Meet and Greet events, these include: Members Only, **(JAWA)** and Allies, Discord Meet and Greet.

To find out more about this event, see Meet and Greet.

Apply...

To join the clan

To become a member of the clan you must register on our forum and fill out an application. It is strongly advised that you fully read and understand our rules before applying to the clan. In order to join the clan you must not be a current member of another clan. As a new applicant you will be processed by a council member and be placed on a two week trial. During this time members will vote on a number of things, this will include: Your attitude, whether you follow the rules, if you fit into the clan and your activity. Failure to be active during your trial will likely result in a denial, the same goes for any rule breaking. Once again it is strongly advised that you are both active on the forum and the server in order to give the members enough of an impression to cast their votes. Make sure to interact with members on both as this will greatly influence the outcome of your trial. Please only place on the **(JAWA-T)** Tag after you've been told to do so.

For some helpful tips, please see Helpful Information for New Recruits.

To rejoin the clan

Rejoining the clan is pretty easy, just post a new application and await a Council Member. Please be aware though that rejoining may depend on the reason for your leaving or the time you've been away. Please see this thread before posting a rejoining application.

To join a club (Members Only)

Each club requires different things to be eligible to join. Before posting an application, please see the stickies in this board which will highlight all the requirements.

For Council Member (Members Only)

As a council applicant you must present yourself in good standing and show the council what you will bring to the team. What do we look for as a council member? Teamwork, good communication, contribution, loyalty and leadership skills. In terms of your skills or experience, this can vary. We train new council members but ask that all applicants attempt to contribute to the clan in other ways before applying. A great way to be noticed as a potential council member is to join a club, ambassadors and event planners are a great bit of experience to have behind you. To apply to become a council member, you simply have to wait for one of the leaders to post an application thread in **(JAWA)** Central and then PM the Leader hosting the recruiting your application. An application is usually around 300 - 500 words but you may make it your own. In the past we've had a member create a video alongside their application, but this is not a requirement, but putting effort into your application further shows us what you can do.

For the Master Trials (Members Only)

The Master Trials are the four trials you take after completing The Cyan Trials, they determine who will be promoted to the rank of Master. These consist of Four trials, all different and unique to the trial master who gives the trial. They focus on combat and skill, more so than the cyan trials. These are supposed to test you to your best level. Your trial masters will approach you once you apply to take The Master Trials.

For Server Admin (Members Only)

To apply for Server Admin, you must first have around 6 months of membership behind you, this is to ensure you are a loyal and trustworthy person with a good level of understanding and maturity behind you. If you would like to apply for admin, you may post an application in server admin area of **(JAWA)** Central. If you need more information about applying to admin, please contact a member of the council or directly contact the admin managers. You can see who the current admin managers are on our Council page.

To be a teacher

To become a teacher in **(JAWA)** School, you should contact Helena Revan directly with what you would like to teach, your availability and why you want to become a teacher. Helena Revan will talk to you further about becoming a teacher and will inform you of the next steps afterwards.
