SHADOW ØRDER

About

Learn more about us

A former casual Star Wars gaming group.

Your focus determines your reality._{- Qui-Gon Jinn}

Shadow Order was a clan in the game Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. Our origin began in 2016 where leader Valen (aka Circa) allied with established clans like JAWA to recruit new members until slowly building a group and our own server. Over the course of only a few months, the clan had over 30 active members, and many regular non-member allies.

From 2017-18, We had a rank system that branched into different disciplines: gameplay & event hosting/diplomacy. We held competitive and casual events, trials for rank promotions on custom maps, but most important of all, made new friends to play games with.

In July of 2018, SHADOW ØRDER officially disbanded after a series of unfortunate events cascaded, making the group split and never recovered. The news post can be found here and the formal goodbye page is here. A full wiki article of the history and facts about the clan can be found here.

Currently the Jedi Academy server is still up, and the SWTOR guild is still being used. The forum is migrated to a modern system for future-proofing our nostalgia. The Discord is still there. If you were a part of SØ, thank you for the wonderful times, maybe we'll catch you on the server or Discord sometime, or say hi in the forum.

Rules

General server rules

Jedi Academy

Don't be a jerk, first and foremost. The easiest and simplest rule. This includes creating a hostile environment towards others. Respect others and play nice.
Speak in English when possible. Occasional non-English conversations are fine.
Keep your Shadow Order tags in your name when on our server. You don't need to keep them on other servers, but do remember you represent our clan, even without them.
Multiclanning is not allowed, unless it is a non-clan competitive team, but if it affects your activity in this clan, you may be removed. You also won't be promoted past the Jedi rank.
Recruiting is allowed on our server, to an extent. Spamming recruitment messages, just like spamming anything, is annoying and won't be tolerated for long.
Try to stick with one name. If you use multiple aliases, make one your own, at least in this clan. It gets confusing to newcomers, and especially those that don't speak good English.
Swearing is allowed, but insults are not. Keep drama to a minimum. If you have an issue with a member, bring it to the attention of the council, take a break, cool off. Starting petty squabbles is silly.
The phenomenon known as "laming" does not exist on our servers. Laming is killing someone with their saber off and/or their chat bubble is up. Unless someone is genuinely getting upset about it, lame all you want.
Voting is enabled on the server, however if people deny your request for a map or gametype change, don't spam it. You could find yourself vote kicked for being obnoxious. And don't vote for a change if people are genuinely having a good time where they're at. Even if you get majority to vote for yours, those that didn't want it might never come back to our server.
