Zu's Cave. Snowing!

Written by Zu

Throws ultra snowballs at everyone. That's right people! The most amazing season of the year has finally arrived. And who ever disagress will suffer for eternity. I'm not joking. *Throws a snowball at you*

Nothing better than a nice layer of whitish white snow laying everywhere. As you all know, and probably there are still people who do that, there are a lot of possibilites of utilizing the awesomeness which is snow. Snowballs fights, snowmen of all kinds and sizes - And I mean it. Standard snowman which consist of three huge snowballs, a carrot and a hat, is slowly dissapearing. In its place come huge, creative and inspiring statues of snow, sometimes solid ice. Don't forget about all kinds of winter sports, snowboarding, skiing, ice-skiing, AWDADLUHASKDJ SO MANY AWESOME ACTIVITES AND I'M SITTING HERE COMPILING THE POST.

In any case, you, who spend most of the time in your houses, doing nothing in particular, should take this oppurtinity to go out and have some fun. I'm sorry for all those who live in different zones. I will send you some snow via post. But nothing to be worried about, while we have our winter fun, you have your summerish fun. I'm sure you have many ways to enjoy your days in December :)

As November passed, with rather unusual calmness, we now, prepare ourselves for what's incoming. To name few, X-mass holidays, New year party or simply a relax time with your families. Before you two amazing comics brought to you by Kobra and Marti as well as news I'm sure worth reading. So, take a sit, pour hot chocolate and enjoy the Post :)

Alliances & Events corner


From now on, we will be gathering information about events and clanmatches with our allies, as well as random clans all over the JKA. This small corner is created for managers and participants of said events. They will simply tell their opinions about what happened during their matches or events. Today, we present you with two of our Council members.


  • My thoughts on the recent clan matches are that they'be been actively going very very well! We especially look forward to future events with EK, AFL, and RG. For example, we had 2 awesome matches with EK where a lot of JAWAs and EK members worked together in a competitive environment. With RG, we had a nice gauntlet that worked similarly. Clanmatch with EJO we had fun. Robin Bandeth Myself and Xan participated. EJO gave us a good challenge. Upcoming event with AFL will be fun!

- Jazzy


  • First of all, We have three great event planners, and active ones. We've had six planned events, two random events and two event tests -for a total of ten-. Even if I didn't participate in a lot of them (probably due to timezones though), I can say from the feedbacks it has been going awesome, especially Dopie's Halloween Valis Hunt which had a lot of success, and I hope we'll have more of these. Also, I've participated in Anoek's Merc Gauntlet, and for a first try I've got to say it looks really awesome, so I look forward to have new events imagined in the future. Don't hesitate to suggest if you have an idea! Later on, I participated in a Power Duel event hosted by Anoek on the 20th of November, and it turned out to be a really fun event! There were about 10 participants, which is quite good for a low-activity period of the year. Hopefully future events will be good too!

The JAWA Gossip: Link vs. Helena



Silink.jpg

Previously on JAWA Gossip.. Two teams investigating chargers against two of our members had not found enough evidence against Xanatos' case. In in light, he was cleared of all charges, however, Shadow who has been found secretly casting shadows, could not prove his innocence, thus been senteced with a punishment of cleaning the Council's toilet.. WITHOUT ANY LIGHT.

- Case closed.


Our investigation team has little free time during their watch hours. As their eyes never close, they suspect a criminal syndicate running within JAWA. Said gang is supposed to be lead by no other but our leader.. SiLink! SiLink, who has lost his ponytail in mysterious circumstances decilines the accusation and when asked to comment he replies: ASK HIM!. Without any possibility to clear the fog, our team decided to find some evidence on their own. Without a suprise, they have found that SiLink may be colaborating with Helena Revan, as his ponytail was found in her bedroom... In addition, suspicious marks were found on his armpad and Helena's wall. The team presented a solid proof of found coincidence:

Soon after our team had started their investigation, Helena Revan who was asked to answer questions about the suspicious coalition, has dissapeared. She couldn't be found anywhere. A local society on Taspir's Station informed us about a female visitor reaching the bottom parts of their plant. Their disciption differs from the apperance of Helena Revan, but they say that she somehow resembles our Council member and they are forwarding us with their photos taken at the basement section of the station. She indeed looks familiar. Closer investigation is necessary.

Stay tuned for fresh news in the next issue of the JAWA Post Issue. Remember, "We know!"


Zu's Trophies

Today, we're going to put some insight into the matter of our newest Council member... Dopie the Janitor!

Member of the Issue
Dopie


Hello Dopie, oh the mighty Dopie, WHO IS OUR LATEST JANITOR. Before you had been elected for our newest Council member, what were your hopes and attitude toward the current Council, their work and activities?

  • My hopes and attitude toward the current Council were good I would say, each person had their role and performed it well, even when

at times it didn't meet the expectation of some. Being in a leadership position, everything you do is magnified because of your position, and I don't think we could look at the current Council and mind many faults. Everyone does a good job !

So, Dopie, what is your current impression about JAWA itself? Is it what you would expect of a virtual clan?

  • JAWA is and will always be a haven to those looking for a 2nd home with fellow gamers, for whatever the reason may be. Even when

people disagree or don't see everything in the same light, this community can really pull together and be like a family. I think JAWA has far surpassed any expectations I could've hoped for, from a "virtual clan". I've met some of the greatest people here, and have had some of the best times. Forging friendships, starting new projects, working along side the new members of the clan and now I'm part of the Council. Who could ask for more?

Anything to say to our beloved members?

  • You guys are what keep JAWA, remember that. It's not about the Leader, the Council or any one group of individuals, it's about

everybody. We aren't anything without the members being involved, intrigued and happy with the clan. This is my first leadership role in a major community, and I promise to do everything I can to make sure this place continues to be that haven that I described earlier.

I will try to always make myself available to be a listening ear, and I appreciate every member who sports the clan tag. Thank you. Oh, and Wolfy seriously needs to do these dishes.. they're everywhere.


Wolfy's Forest: Before the celebration.

Wolfy: Hello Nightwing, how are you?

Nightwing: Hello Wolfy, I'm great thanks.

Wolfy: Could you please introduce yourself to our readers?

Nightwing: I'm Jordan and I am from Manchester in sunny England. I am 21 years old and will be 22 in July.

Wolfy: Good! You joined the clan in late February 2012, how would you describe your experience within the clan so far?

Nightwing: So far? I've had a great time, met a lot of interesting people and I have been welcomed with open arms i guess. I would say it's one of my favourite communities I've been a part of in the last 7 years of gaming.

Wolfy: Great! You've become an admin quite recently, what were your motivations to apply?

Nightwing: Well whenever someone asks that question I always think back to being helpless to act in other games, I feel very strongly about rules and although I am not fond of confrontation, if I see something that is wrong I must act on it. Most of all I think, I don't like people who join a server to distrupt peoples gaming time, as a lot of people don't have much time to actually play on the server.

Wolfy: Seems legit, do you plan to apply for more positions such as ambassador/event planner?

Nightwing: I have been thinking of it for a while, and recently set up a gauntlett on the server and then passed the reigns over to Robin and Water. It is something i'm interested in, but for now I think I'll focus on my admin duties. Though I can see myself applying for such roles in the future.

Wolfy: Alright. Put aside playing JKA, what are your interests and hobbies?

Nightwing: Well as some may know, I'm in my final year on a design honours degree, so in my spare time I'm usually doing designs, animating or writing. I also paint, draw and T'm a massive T.V Series fan.

Wolfy: Awesome! Now to the famous.. (JAWA) Related-Quiz! You'll be asked to close your web browser and anything that could help you, and please answer as fast as possible to prevent cheating. Ready?

Nightwing: Ready.

Wolfy: First question: Eight members are featured on the (JAWA) Yearly Cards 2012. Can you name two members appearing on these cards?

Nightwing: NorthStar and Duster-man

Wolfy: Correct! 1/5! Next question: BloodRaven and HI both hold the record of holding the (JAWA) championship. How many consecutive months did they keep the title for?

Nightwing: 2 months?

Wolfy: Wrong, it was actually 11 months! Still 1/5. Third question: How many members in the clan had their name beginning with the letter 'U'?

Nightwing: oh....none?

Wolfy:Right again! 2/5! Fourth question: Who won the very first Staff Heaven at (JAWA) League?

Nightwing: No idea.. Kel?

Wolfy: It could have been Kel, but it was actually Podoplovik. Still 2/5! Last question.. Who are the two founders of (JAWA)?

Nightwing: Iniowi and Matt

Wolfy: It's spelled 'Iniowe' but I'll accept it, that makes you 3/5!

Nightwing: Yay!

Wolfy: Thanks for answering my weird and mind-blowing questions, Nightwing!

Nightwing: My pleasure, Thanks for asking.

Wolfy: You now have ten seconds to leave your seat before the bomb under it explodes. 10.. 9.. 8..

Nightwing: oh god. *falls over*

Wolfy: Ha ha, I was only kidding! You're free to leave

Nightwing: Thanks See ya later.
