Honestly 501st is the biggest right now I think? It's not fair to compare the two of you guys, you have your own reason for needing one extra, Rancor has a totally different reason for needing one. You shouldn't have even been mentioned really.

Dennis... what's wrong with you, dude? I'm sure this was pretty much expected that I'd voice my displeasure against this. But this type of thread is going to turn into a circle-jerk on either side. So I'm going to try step back a second to really look at you reasoning... which from what I'm seeing is the opinion of a server Developer. Let's take it from the top. CG has statutes in place to deal with just this. When something like this is said, then it's putting a blanket of contempt over an entire battalion, which seems to stand out a lot more with the removal of others. This statement not only applies to those who might be baton-happy, but to the people in charge (WO+) who are to act as mentors to better the troopers below them. I don't know if you've personally met CG High Command, but they're among the nicest people I've ever met in this community. The battalion is very tight-knit, yes, but they won't hesitate to punish any CG in question that's being idiotic. When it comes to the general environment of toxicity on the server, it goes both ways. Not just with CG. Some people say SO BDE is toxic and elitist, some people say 21st is toxic because of *their* elitist attutude, hell some people say 41st is toxic and are a battalion of minges. These are all generalizations and they're not fair to each group of people. And even if they happen to be true, then it's always been an issue with *EVERYONE*, not just CG. You have to remember that you're in a server full of teenagers who are bringing their High School Clique attitudes over to a video game. More on this later. 1. Report them to superiors. Instead of getting upset over this, people should actually get out of their shell and make an effort to communicate with people. I've sat in a lot of CG Report processing and it's always been handled with professionalism and care for the health of the battalion. 2. Look into these SOPs. If it's something that conflicts with a server rule procedure, then do the proper research and do what you can to come to a compromise. 3. What? You want idiots to get away with breaking rules? If a CG gets RDM'd by some CT that's going around causing issues, then they have every right to use outsider knowledge to arrest that CT. These are all basic things that *help* the environment of the server, not hurt it. If we arrest all the idiots, then they're either going to sit in a cell so others can enjoy their time on the server and get a chance to breathe from their bad behavior, or they're going to glitch out and get immediately beaned by the incoming admin ticket from the CG on warden duty. If we couldn't "metagame" to capture some dumbass who's going out of his way to ruin the experience for everyone else, then you may as well void the whole purpose of rule enforcement and turn Synergy into an anarchy server. The only person that a "no metagaming for arrest" rule would help is a person who wants to cause trouble for EVERYONE. Even the veteran players who feel they're entitled to cause issues because they don't know when to stop running their mouths. To address the "lack of respect" issue, this is an issue widespread to EVERY battalion. And pinning this on CG alone is ludicrous. I personally NEVER see people salute people outside of their own battalions, call them sir, or anything like that. And a lot of it isn't even disrespect, it's familiarity. I'd say at this point it's pretty much a fact that if you know someone for a long time, you're not going to salute them. Either because you've already done it enough for them, the CO runs off too much (love you Killjoy), or the CO already knows deep down that the lower rank respects them. You shouldn't demand to be put on a pedestal in such a way. Sure it's good for "serious RP", but the same people who say this are those who are pushing for semi-serious RP. Thus proving my point that people only like serious RP when convenient to them. Plus, this is pretty hypocritical for those who say CG have a "god complex". These things go both ways, peeps. And as for arresting superiors, that's just fairness. It's not fair if you would arrest a CT PVT for disrespect but not bad an eye towards a Commander who does the same thing. Again, this is hypocritical to the "god complex" ideal. You're not above the law. And neither are CG. I've personally arrested more CG than I would have liked to in my long career within that battalion. And guess what? Those idiots were dealt with by either improving or not lasting another day wearing red. The whole "you are not above the law thing" is the FIRST rule in CG's CoC and breaking rule #1 is ALWAYS punished severely. I'm just going to quote this for my closing argument for the sake of organization. Admins are just as volatile, if not MORE to bad attitude than CG are. Staff ticket counts are recognized as a thing for promotion, and if staff were arresting then odds are a LOT of it would come from staff tickets. This is the equivalent of promoting a CG for getting arrests. Plus, in the current state, staff NEVER log the arrest. You barely see it. CG have something staff don't in that regard: organization. Staff also presents opportunities for those who aren't very rule enforcement oriented as well, which is a very good thing, but CG is a battalion that focuses on just that, so statutes is put in place for this. I'm not saying all CG are the best at enforcing rules, but I'll swear on my grave that they're at least trained for it. It's literally what every member signed up for. Staff will always just figure out a way to solve an issue as quickly as possible, whereas a CG will solve things as effectively as possible. Can we just all work hand-in-hand to make sure that the environment of the server remains in tact? I love you Dennis, but this ain't the solution.

Just because you were arrested doesn’t mean we need to change anything. Hell no makes no sense. -1 This is just a rant because he broke a rule got arrested and is now upset. Get rid of batons?!?!?! This is a joke right?

Back when I was Fixer and we had Tripoli as Delta-42 for like 3 days before you wanted the name changed, seems like things are only acceptable when you want them. My questions is what has changed? Also pilots are never used lmaooo -1

Alright boys, time to play devil's advocate. *clears throat* I actually kind of agree. To a certain extent. No, I don't think that Shock should lose the ability to arrest. That seems counterproductive for a battalion literally centered around detention. But the idea that Shock should be more IC is actually... good. Think about Shock's responsibilities right now. They handle OOC arrests, IC arrests during events and encounters, VIP protection and handle everything with Base Ops now that they are in the same regiment as them. The thing is that most of the time (and I don't think I'm wrong in saying this, shock feel free to correct me), Shock is dealing with OOC things with minges on the server. The server is supposed to be Serious RP, meaning that people are supposed to be IC all the time. Unfortunately, we live in a flawed world, and people break the rules all the time. This means for every person arrested, 1-2 shock lose their character for however many minutes it takes to deal with that minge. With the recent addition of Bounty Hunter, this finally gives Shock the ability to actually RP arrests. God, it's been too long since people could even RP getting arrested without it being detrimental to their clean record on the server. God forbid, we actually RP with the battalion who handles arrests. It's literally the perfect opportunity to finally give some freedom to people who want to play a character who gets caught breaking the law. Hell, there could be a whole IC bailing system put in place for guilds to bail their guys out of Anaxes, for a fee of course. I definitely think that Shock's interests should shift slightly. This could actually be really good for the battalion, and even the Operative regiment as a whole, if they just RP with the BHG. So, tldr, Shock shouldn't lose any responsibilities because that's what their battalion is based on, but it's time to shift focus onto RP rather than OOC arrests.

I feel Rancor Command could be used for what you want to use Embassy for...

Oh finally im not the only one now. @ traditional @Turbine

The fact that there is so much toxicity about a pilot job that will be most likely forgotten about not even a week after it is added in is ridiculous. Sure, lore is cool, but unless you get Patrick to be 42, the job will feel like a waste of time when the core squad could be focused on

Sorry to burst your bubble buddy but me and Sanchez liked to do things that we 100% agreed on and not argue about something as silly as a CT with the name Delta-42. Sanchez didn’t like it and I agreed that utilizing the CT job to bring this character onto the server wasn’t the best way to go about it. I was always for Delta-42 being a thing it was just the execution back then. Would prefer it if you didn’t spread false information my guy. Okay dude. :Thonk: Come to think about it I actually went and explained the situation to all of you (Delta at the time) and how if you boys wanted it you need a server suggestion. Nice. Guess you took it as me not wanting Delta-42 on the server and being super against it tho.

Name of the staff member you're asking: @ Ron Question: Why was my previous Question and Answer locked and moved to answered even though there was no answer to my post? Further attachments: Concerns: I'm concerned that I won't receive an answer on why my forum reputation was manually and forcefully set to a negative standing rather than my positive amount of points that I carried previously.

Yourself and Regional have turned the Question & Answers section into your own personal spam-the-staff section. Consistently harassing staff members, spamming their PMs, pokes, messages. Constantly complaining about store purchases, spamming dumb reactions out of spite, and continued toxicity after numerous warnings. You have continued to break the section rules by continuously posting questions that only relate to your own personal interests and benefit. This section is to be used for the general interest of the community, rule clarifications, and questions/answers that more than one person would have. We have yet to forum warn or take any disciplinary action thinking you both would attempt to fix your attitudes. Stop using this section as your own personal Spam-the-Staff, stop acting like an entitled child over your donation benefits, and stop spamming staff members with useless complaints regarding your own ego; additionally, if yourself and Regional continue to go out of your way to cause problems, stir up drama, and spam staff members, we will need to take further action. You might actually see beneficial answers and changes if you showed even the slightest interest in improving or community benefit, yet every complaint you've had centers around your personal lose of power, authority, or entitlement.

-1 This is not necessary to the server.

-1, kind of pointless.

Nah man -1 One of the few things CG have. Without it they would be DU Dos.Oh Also when we can get staff to do something as simple as taking tickets with no issues then I can probably support this.

-1 this isn’t really needed as SOBDE already has a hard time filling positions

Name: Marvel | Boss RP Rank: Sergeant | Squad Lead Suggestion: Adding Delta Squad's pilot, Delta-42. Implementation: Adding this job to Delta Squad on the server. Lore: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Delta_42 Workshop content if applicable: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1944292365&searchtext=Clone+Republic+Pilot If you are asking to add or change a job, fill out the following Add or Change: Add (Any job modification requires all this information) Job: Delta-42 Slots: 1 Description: Delta 42 was Delta Squad's LAAT pilot who gave them various air support and extractions. Model: models/player/tamewater/clone_cc/clone_cc.mdl Weapons: tfa_swch_dc15a, tfa_dc15s_ashura, tfa_swch_dc17_rancor, comlink_swep, repair_tool_evan (Hear me out! I gave him the JT DC-17 pistol because out of all of SO BDE he has the weakest weapons due to not really being equipped like the rest of them. This DC-17 is to help protect him a little better but he isn't meant for combat too much.) Other: I understand Delta-42 has been attempted in the past before but through using the CT job and it was given to a horrible person when it was first implemented which ruined Delta-42's image. I want to change that and add a unique job to Delta and to SO BDE. SO BDE doesn't have any full fledged Pilots so this would be cool in my opinion. If you have any issues with the suggestion lemme know!
