-1 it left because it was useless. Stop asking for more when the server can't provide. Way too many battalions are too small right now and giving CT's power is insane right now. We need to keep CT's like they are. A CT battalion is what will transpire here.

-1 Join a battalion. CT is not a battalion.

-1 CTs are meant to join a battalion and get better with that battalion. Having a cat battalion is decent in theory but it just doesn't work. We have the cc training for a reason. If a battalion's tryout is too hard and they don't pass, go back to the room and get better or go to the battalion training room and practice or the battalion is just dumb to have tryouts that cts can't pass. You join a battalion to get better not get better then join. #keepctbattaliondead

Man you need to chill and hop off your high horse, I made a simple suggestion and you come in yelling like you own the place. You may be in charge of the entire Army but that doesn't mean you're good at it, they respect you and that you're superior to all others, It's a gmod server no need to wave your E-penis around. You're also more inactive then our Rear Admiral...oh wait...we don't have one.

We have freaking sgt cts and Pfc CT’s. They like that, in training we tell the ccs that they can get promoted when joining a battalion. This defeats the purpose. The cts that don’t join any battalion are just cancer and having them with a ranking structure wouldn’t help. The point of ct is having a period where you do not belong to anyone and you try to branch off. Makes no sense as stated. I suggest we encourage these awsome cts to join battalions instead of having them stay in the ct stage (note I didn’t say battalion) and try to get a rank as a ct or just do nothing as a ct. I also believe that sock isn’t joining a battalion as he wants to be a person in ct of an officer

Power hungry naval? Hmmmmm I always love seeing our Marshal Commander call out Naval the people who run the ship that he's on...Also, if you want to go all technical there would be no Marshal Commander job like you are on right now, it would be 91st Marshal Commander Neyo, 212th Marshal Commander Cody ETC...

-1 THIS DIDNT WORK THE FIRST 2 TIMES WHY WOULD IT WORK NOW?

I'm going to stay neutral. I've read all the comments so far and both sides bring up valid points. I feel like if the Senators were actually online the SC could show their potential of being a decent battalion. So i feel like the issue doesn't lie with SC but with the inactive senators. True, SC does help out when they're hardly any CG on, which does help a lot on some days when the server gets filled with minges. However, CG wouldn't and doesn't have a problem with protecting both Naval and Senators. We would simply prioritise between who we need to protect and who we don't. Or simply split up the battalion in events to protect both naval and the senators (which we majority of the time do anyways to protect multiple groups of naval). Furthermore, I don't see many of you guys on unfortunately and when they're senators on i only see around 2-5 of you guys. What I think should happen is that we should get some more active Senators and see how SC do. If they start to prosper then fine, keep them. I don't have an issue with keeping SC. However, if we get active senators and SC are hardly on and CG have to do they're Job then they'll sadly have to be removed. While in my personal opinion i don't understand why those in SC now didn't just join CG if they wanted to protect Senators and other VIPs. However, right now i don't feel like its fair to judge SC when they can't even do the job they are designed to do! - CG Hound / Anderson

Look I know they do a lot to help Senators and RP, but the Senators are never on. Like @Dargon said CG can do better and can do everything SC can do. Also they just take up player slots from other battalions and clearing them up will give boosts to other groups. Simply they aren't needed right now and it's not even a battalion, all it is a side-group and it's not very active. I talked to CG and Dargon (on the forums) and both seem to be okay and in some cases in favor of removal. I feel they can be good later, but for now they don't do much and kind of are just placeholders. Feel free to give me feedback, but in my opinion from all the different groups I've talked to, I feel we should just let CG do their thing again and have power over VIP's. CG is more than capable of doing this and possibly could even later get a sub-branch dedicated to protecting people. Implementation:Remove Senate Commandos (for now) Remove: All SC classes @Scribbles - thanks for the contribution and help @Dargon - thank you for the blessing and semi-approval that they shouldn't exist

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST BEFORE POSTING FEEDBACK Name: Jorrdan Suggestion: Change the Venator from the extensive one we have once we get the planetside map Implementation: I strongly believe that our current map has gotten many people bored. Yes some might say "It has hyperspace, It has turbolasers" Etc. Etc. But what else really. What has happened is the hype has died. People we're hyped for a new map, I am not going to lie I was too. But after a month or two it just got boring. The old Venator we had never got really boring. There was always fun things to do and there was great aspects on that map. BUT, there was no uniqueness to that map. That's the problem. Our current map is no longer unique to synergy. Almost ever server has this map. (https://gyazo.com/51d478dba61345d3b167976003a90f94) So what I am suggesting is that we go back to the old one but put our own touch to it and make it U N I Q U E. Our last map we had on the old venator was just Venator v2 but with different med bay and bridges. So this time I think we need to go all out. If our planetside map is going to be great then our Venator has to be great. Look at this map for example. (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1264807470) This is a Venator that no other server has. This Venator has a whole new node for a Jedi temple, a senate room and a clone bar. Everything is different on this map. I say we use this map for inspiration when building our custom map. We need a Venator that no body has seen before. We need a Venator that pleases everyone and doesn't cram the Jedi on 1 floor with 3 rooms. We need a Venator that isn't boring and over hyped. We are a big server, I would say, we need something that stands us out from other big servers.

Lotta hostility. Personally I think SCMD would be more reasonable than MCMD

+1 for yuka. The kamino map, we can't really use because it's pretty laggy and stuff like that. Even though it would be a great map to use.

I would like to see how this goes. Through past experience, naval abuses this power but I think freck and lads can hopefully handle the autism so +1

people? you mean washington

We used to have this and CT was a cancer battalion as egg explains

I like the very colorful aurora of colors, Washington. Anyways I guess we all can't have opinions anymore without this criticism. Also I thought the point of history is learning from out past and from the past we learned this is a bad idea. Stay classy btw

When someone makes a simple suggestion but you act like your enema didn't go as planned.

+1 I don't understand why a Clone Marshal is higher than the Admiral.

-1 this is a topic I did not want. WHAT IS THE POINT??? THE POINT OF BEING A CT IS TO JOIN A BATTALION. IT IS A TRIAL STAGE. WE ALREADY HAVE A CLONE GENERAL WHAT IS THE POINT??? MAKEA NO SENSE

This is extremely false. Ive spoken with both directors about this. " SC Are still strictly Senate only even if no Senators are on, if there aren't any they are to act like a normal trooper would."- Oxen "Its the exact same, like saying if there are no Naval on CG get to guard Senators" -Jackson

+1 Ok, so first off, people keep comparing this to the 101st, and saying it is the 101st, and those people must have either not read this post at all, or are just illiterate. THIS IS NOT TO BRING IN A BATTLION! READ THE POST! The objective of this post is for there to be 5 (I would prefer 3, but 5 is good) CTs with an actual rank (Capping at WO) who could HELP TRAIN CTs. The sheer amount of disrespect and discrimination against CTs is quite a joke, and all the people -1'ing this tend to be the largest contributors to anti-CT sentiments. Believe it or not, THE SERVER NEEDS NEW PEOPLE, AND NOT BE PUSHED AWAY BY YOUR ATTITUDES. The sole arguments are: "CTs aren't a battalion" -- Which the post isn't to add a CT battalion.. are you retarded? "Why don't you join a battalion" -- They will be joining a battalion, the whole point is that they don't minge and murder everyone all the time, think of it like a filter. Only 5 CTs will hold roles in which they will STAY IN. 5. People. I understand counting can be a bit hard, but 5 is NOT a lot of people to not be in your battalion. "This didn't work before, like the 101st" -- Refer to Arguement #1, THIS IS NOT FOR A BATTALION, CT will NOT be a battalion! This is for a RANK STRUCTURE, so 5 PEOPLE can help TRAIN CTs. Overall, none of your arguments AGAINST the idea make ANY sense. In fact, the sole reasons so many of you are object to it is because you are so stuck in the past about how things should be run, and hate any type of change. This literally would not affect a SINGLE battalions numbers, only help them. This whole suggestion only seems like something that could benefit everyone, even Synergy as a whole I remain, Marshal Commander Washington

Considering the fact that it was removed by popular request, I beg to differ. As has already been said, new CT's should be moving straight into real battalions ASAP. They shouldn't be staying in any formal CT unit, whether that be the late 101st battalion or a cheap imitation of such. This is for several important reasons. As you admit, distinguishing genuine players from minges would be an insurmountable issue within your proposed unit. A rank structure would do nothing to dissuade these people from acting as they wish. In fact, it might even provide them with an excellent cover from which to perform their actions i.e. allowing them to be deployed to events as a unit. Real battalions have engaging features such as a wide selection of classes and specializations to choose from. This variety both seizes player interest in the short term and ultimately helps to maintain the server's user base. Evolving the CT job into a full-blown unit complete with a rank structure would congest the transition from CC to becoming a member of a real battalion. The reality is that CT’s don’t require a training unit. I can comfortably say that most people would rather join a battalion they like and learn on the job, with people they may likely be playing with for an extended period of time. People who will get to know them, point them down the right path, become their friends and mentors, etc. Aside from potentially making the process of joining a real battalion somewhat of a slog for less experienced players, this proposed CT unit will essentially cuck real battalions, stagnating the flow of fresh recruits. In summary, it sounds bloody awful. We tried it, it didn’t work. However, I do agree with you on one thing. Currently, CT’s are often treated like complete shit, especially during events. These people are the future of our community. Be warm and inviting to them, be patient in your demeanour and point them in the right direction. In conclusion, a big fat -1 from me. Love, Whisky <3

Man, you actually said something smart for once. I applaud you. +1

-1, Just join a real battalion

-1 just join a battalion

-1 This is dumb

Absoloutely not. LOL.

This is false. SC have 0 involvment with Naval if no senators are on. I've spoken with the directors about this. They only involve themselves with the senate and thats it. If there are no senators on they are normal troopers. Enough said.

-1. These are SWTOR styled Mandalorian armors, which is cool and all but won't work.

+1, I hate walking into medbay and instantly told "GET OUT OF OUR MEDBAY". I mean seriously, I went in for an interrogation and RM walk up and constantly try to get me out. It's annoying. They also abuse the lockdown system, when it shouldn't be used nor has a need for it.

Honestly I'd prefer these maps as event server maps. We currently don't have a venator map on the event server.

-1, a lot of members of CG have trouble with the RP they do get to do durring events and their numbers aren’t exactly at a level to protect senators and naval. Keep SC and just fix senators

+1 really don't see the need to keep them. Fun while it lasted boyos

From testing it single player and comparing it to stats from the current map on single player, theres areas which it'll need a some optimization done. Although this it would need more research done into on the venator extensive I achieve ~250 FPS in most areas. On the map suggested it remains somewhat similar with 20-30 fps less. However there are areas that stand out as problematic, for example the engine room in which my FPS dips below 100.

+1

Only OG's will remember the old Venator with the council that was smaller than medbay.

I would agree with this. Being a BCMD and High Command before I always wished I had the ability to create custom sims that I had painted out in my own mind, yet I swore off staff. It would be convenient for BCMD+ who aren't part of the staff to have access to something like this although I don't know how much of a hassle it is to get a staff member to spawn a dupe anymore.

The following is an exert from here, the Rules & Regulations of the Clone Wars server: https://synergyroleplay.com/index.php?/topic/530-clone-wars-rules/ Fail RP - Standing and sitting on players. - Talking about Out of Character (OOC) things in Roleplay chat channels. - The only location where you can speak Out of Character (OOC) is in the OOC lounge or in Teamspeak. (Unless designated as not OOC by the commander in that channel). - Do not salute/bow during combat situations. - No FailRP names or lore names without being that lore character. (eg: CC 6969 Rex) - Cannot be on top of Air Traffic Control (ATC) period. - You CANNOT have the visor body grouper on, if you do not have a helmet on. I gave you and another NULL a verbal warning to step off and when you chose not to I moved you off. You constantly, over and over, decided to fly back on top not taking the hint that an Admin was telling you otherwise. Also, I did not attempt to arrest you, I could have done so if I wished. I was giving you a physical warning because both verbal & visual warnings were not enough for you. I simply stunned you to try to get a point across with you - but now I understand that further measures will be needed to be taken in any future occurrences with you, being taken to the Admin Sit room and completely out of the Event if that's what you see fit. You only ruined the event for yourself for not following the rules and not complying when clearly being moved away. If it is true you were told otherwise than I apologize for that miscommunication you had, but as long as the rules remain up they are to be followed.

Name: Sock Monkey Suggestion: A rank structure implemented into the CTs, in addition adding a CT Officer job Implementation: CTs joining the server for the first time, may not be as experienced or skilled as battalions that have conducted operations as teams for a long time. This makes it increasingly difficult to find able bodied CTs without having to spend lots of extra time allowing them to get accustomed to the ship and how things work, along with extra needed training. Having a CT rank structure allows new recruits to get a feel for how other battalions function by teaching and having them understand the basics. The concept of a rank structure would give CTs the chance to demonstrate skills at a basic level, in preparation to eventually join another battalion. The key factor in this addition as that THE CT BATTALION IS NOT MEANT TO BE A PERMANENT BATTALION FOR THOSE WHO JOIN IT, it’s simply a starter battalion that would let people get a feel for the server. This minor change would bring better skilled CTs to the server and small promotions to ranks such as PFC would make it easier for battalions to decide who they want in their battalion, making tryouts more efficient and easier for those conducting it. The CT has always been given a bad reputation, with Mass RDM scandals and unruly soldiers, it has become increasingly difficult for the CGs and staff to deal with the chaos, adding a respectable group of officers to maintain and lead the CTs would provide order to the battalion and give CTs who don't know what they are doing, an opportunity to show they can follow command and contribute to future battalions. Lore: The Grand Army of the Republic maintained a rank structure throughout the clone wars, initially using color to identify rank, they gradually shifted over to the customization of armor with unique color schemes or markings. This concept is not just implied for individual battalions, but as a whole army. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Grand_Army_of_the_Republic Workshop content if applicable:http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=905412745 (Already on the server) Add or Change: Add a CT Officer job Job: Clone Trooper Officer Model: Jet Trooper (Jet pack would be removed through body groups) ( Only basic CT model that has a pauldron and holsters to represent an officer the most) https://gyazo.com/55ea276e3cfc16f43996296bcf149515 Weapons: DC-15A, DC-15S Other: Would only have 5 available slots, making it difficult to get the rank, deterring people from staying in the CT battalion, and rather gaining knowledge from it and moving to a more uniform experienced battalion. Q/A + FAQ: Q: Won’t this cause battalions to shrink even more, as more people would stay as CTs? A: This is a starter battalion with extremely limited officer positions, we would encourage people to leave and join other battalions, so battalion sizes and recruitment flow wouldn’t be impacted. Q: The CTs are not a battalion so how could they have a rank structure? A: The Galactic Republic used color ranks in phase 1 to indicate rank (no battalions) phase 2 changed to different armor colors and markings, therefore any trooper could hold a rank if they portrayed the skills needed and got the training. Q: CTs are minges, how would a rank structure change that? A: While those who minge, will continue to do so, managing CTs would become easier if they have a higher ups that provide a block of authority, but minges would never be fully eliminated. Q: What would the highest rank be? A: Currently it would make sense for the highest rank to only be WO to start off, rather than have people fight and scramble to an XO or other commander position, from there depending on how the battalion is being run and developed, further promotions would be decided by higher ups in the Grand Army of the Republic. Q: How would this benefit other battalions? A: If CTs experience more or less of a starter battalion it would better prepare them for tryouts and working with more experienced battalions on the server. Furthermore it would weed out those deemed unfit for fighting in other battalions, making tryouts easier on the trainer, rather than them having to constantly deal with people who are just wasting their time. Q: Why dont you just bring back 101st? A: Of course bringing back 101st would be something many would like to see, and I guess if people want it more than just a basic rank structure it they could give their opinion, but I see it as another “battalion” that would become competition as new CTs may want to stay loyal to their starting battalion, rather than something we would deem as a starter battalion. Also the 101st is part of the 327th which is no longer on the server so it wouldn't make sense. Q: Who would lead this battalion? A: As of right now there is a CT SGT and a CT 2ndLT that could be promoted, otherwise I would continue to work in the CT battalion until eventually myself or another is deemed “worthy” to lead the starter battalion. Q: Is this just a power grab for a higher rank? A: What I want is to see the CTs flourish and to stop being viewed upon as bad during events and whenever we’re in defcon 6 strolling around the ship. With this higher ranks are required to maintain order within the CTs. And as I had said above, there are others that would probably be promoted before myself. Q: How would this further Rp on the server? A: Officers in the CTs, would hold trainings and other simulations that test the abilities of the CTs and let them demonstrate their skills. With this training concept other battalions could attend to place somewhat of a bid of recruitment on CTs that perform well, giving CTs several options for battalions, rather than just the first person who asks them to tryout. Q: How would this benefit the server as a whole? A: The heart and soul of the server is CTs and all new players that join, when they have shitty experiences as a CT getting yelled at and disrespected by battalions constantly it deterres them from playing the server again, if they have a good experience starting off it is more likely they would come back and play on the server. Q: Why would you need a CT officer job? A: As an attempt to deter CTs from coming on the server and acting as officers, and when a CT is on that has a different model it allows other battalions to identify who is incharge rather than a CT with the same model as the rest leading them around. Q: Why do you care so much about the CTs? A: Maintaining the integrity of the CT is of utmost importance, showing that CTs are just as capable to do well as any other battalion is important to me, as I want to demonstrate there is always hope for the CTs! Q: Isn’t this taking the job of the TR? A: TRs are meant to train the CCs to implement them into the CTs with the bare minimum understanding of what they’re to do, this raises the concern of actual care and help that is given, from personal experience I had to learn where everything was on the ship and had to figure out my battle station was the MHB, I doubt very many TRs have the time or want to answer follow up questions of CTs about basic things like this, furthermore TRs don’t conduct weapon training with CTs or set up sims for CTs, usually if a CT is lucky a sim is open to all. But having a CT rank structure would allow for direct constant focus of the flow of CTs that arrive on the ship, giving them a more personal direct approach, rather than the TR from another battalion that reads them a bunch of rules and sends them on their way. Further questions will be added if an abundance of people are confused on something or if its a question that needs to be addressed. If you have any questions you can post them below or shoot me a pm.

You see CG isnt on 24/7, Today SC escorted a naval around because there was only two CG on and they were busy doing other things. So they took charge and helped the naval.

This should be voided because he didn't get permission from CG before posting this.

Name: TR 212th GC ARC WO Longshot / Spec Suggestion: Don't remove senate commandos, find a solution to Senator activity. Here is my suggestion and what i think we should do, I think we should create some sort of logging system or have staff record when the senators are on. Some senators at the moment have other positions that they need to take care of that are high command and don't get on their senator often. Why should they have a senator if they don't get on it? I am not trying to be disrespectful but I know people who would give up their clone just to be a full time senator. Senate Commandos will survive if they actually had senators to work with. My point here is monitor or have them log there activity weekly, make sure that our senators are active so the senate commandos have a purpose. Don't just remove senate commandos right away because of the senators activity. I understand real life stuff comes up and senators can't be always on so they go on loa, but at this point here are only 1-2 actually active senators. Thanks for taking the time to read this, please don't respond to this arguing your side, just make valid points that we can talk about without being toxic or rude. (edit: Another point to bring up about CG and SC being the same thing, and how CG just can do a SC's job, that not that true if you want to stick to lore and role play. With senate commandos on we have so much more role play potential with events than having just CG) -Spec/Longshot Implementation: Make a logging system for the senators making sure they are actually active giving the senate commandos a purpose.

Still want SC moved to Event jobs that people can be for passive RP when senators are on.
