I think it’s extremely unorthodox we tell this individual that he’s technically avoiding a ban that wasn’t his to have. That’s like us telling that guy who had his name set as Joey in-game to not rejoin the server because he was banned unrightfully. If this is the Josepi that I know and think I know I hope you get accepted, if you have any concerns whether this process is fair enough we have a team who are willing to work with you and get the correct proof to the desired people without having to dox yourself on the forums. +1

Name: Harsh RP Rank: 1stLT, REGL Suggestion: Add a JT regiment to DU. These would be your standard variant Jet Troopers that are seen across the server as a part of every other battalion. These Jet Troopers would NOT have access to the riot shield that other DU troopers (excepting HS) have access to. I have already gotten permission from BCMD Doom (Slak) to put up this suggestion. Implementation: This would require adding a “Jet Trooper” job to the list of Doom’s Unit jobs. The model for the Jet Trooper already exists and can be easily used for the job. Lore: Doom’s Unit lacks the depth of lore that other battalions on the server (like the 501st) have on the server. There is technically no lore precedent for Jet Troopers in Doom’s Unit; after all, the information we have in lore regarding the battalion is limited solely to one episode from the animated television show. However, much the same can be said for the 21st and 41st (perhaps even Rancor); from some quick lore review, neither of these battalions seem to have a lore precedent for a jet trooper division/regiment. Yet, both of these battalions have jet trooper regiments. My point here is that there is a precedent set already for adding jet troopers to a battalion even if they are not explicitly stated to have existed as a part of the battalion in lore. We will delve deeper into this later on in this petition, but the main reasons we want to add jet troopers to DU is to give the people that join the battalion the ability to have the fun experience of becoming a jet trooper (something that is not currently possible, excepting the single position of HS Lancer). When we hold Lancer tryouts, almost everyone from the battalion shows up to try and become that character, speaking to the popularity and draw of the jet trooper as a position. Workshop Content if Applicable: N/A, already on the server. If you are asking to add or change a job, fill out the following Add or Change: Add Job: Doom’s Unit Jet Trooper Slots: 10 Description: “The Doom’s Unit were led by Commander Doom and were most famous for wielding blast shields and using heavy blaster cannons during the Clone Wars.” Model: models/player/gideon/doomsunit/du_jet/du_jet.mdl Weapons: Standard DC-15a and DC-15s. Other: The whitelist would also require the Synergy RP Jetpack (added to the player upon spawn). We’d like to appeal to the community regarding this suggestion. We already anticipate a plethora of negative feedback, but would kindly request that you take a moment to hear us out before submitting your vote. Our Reasoning: As was explained briefly above, we are requesting this addition to provide the people in our battalion with the ability to experience the gameplay of being a Jet Trooper. Dearth of Choice: Currently, the only DU whitelist with the jetpack is that of Lancer. Lancer is one position in a battalion with 40+ active members. The popularity of the jetpack whitelist is manifest in the attendance at Lancer tryouts - we get more people trying out for Lancer than for any other position in our battalion by a landslide. The lack of Jet Troopers in DU currently means that only one person in the battalion gets to play as a Jet Trooper. This is not the case for every other battalion (excepting, of course, CG and SOBDE). For many people, the lack of jetpacks is something that drives them towards literally ANY other battalion that has them (anecdotally, this has happened more than once). Our battalion members lack the choice to pursue the jet trooper route, and are worse off for it. Original Complaints: From what I understand of the early days of DU, the main reason we were not given the privilege of having a Jet Trooper regiment is that it would have been extremely overpowered. When DU was a young battalion, each whitelist had access to the Z-6 as a part of their normal kit. This was incredibly overpowered (if technically lore accurate) and was justifiably removed shortly after implementation. The Z-6 was instead replaced with the deployable shield, the other unforgettable aspect of the Doom’s Unit trooper’s kit. The argument against the addition of Jet Troopers to DU then changed to state that having a flying shield trooper would break realism and also potentially be overpowered. We understand and accept this complaint; for that reason, we are specifically attempting to add the base Jet Trooper (with 15a and 15s only) and NO SHIELD to DU. I repeat, we are asking that a base Jet Trooper with no shield is added. With the changes that DU has undergone, these arguments no longer hold any weight. Our JTs would be just like any other on the server - they would simply have a different model and would be part of DU instead of another battalion. Fairness: Life isn’t fair. The number of times I’ve been told that are beyond my ability to count. However, I think it is a good rule of thumb to try and strive for as much fairness as possible when we make decisions, especially in communities like this one where the enjoyment of others may be significantly affected by the addition of a subunit to another battalion. I will attempt to coherently outline my view on the fairness of this addition below. I don’t think it is reasonable to say that adding JTs to DU will create an unfair draw to the battalion. At the time of writing this suggestion, DU has the following attractions: Havoc Squad (a fan-made battalion), the deployable shield (which makes our battalion unique), and the right to host AV-7 trainings (a very nuanced artillery vehicle that was recently added). How I evaluate fairness is fairly straightforward: it all centers on equality. If another battalion has more than a given battalion, that is somewhat unfair. However, I recognize that, again, life isn’t fair and not everything can be equal. The other battalions with Jet Troopers have a lot more drawing people to them than DU when it comes down to the specifics. Here are some examples (please note: I am not trying to call any battalions out, nor am I advocating for a downgrade of their subunits or anything like that. I am just trying to make a point here). 501st: Have 332nd, all basic subunits (including JTs), Torrent Company, and multiple lore character positions with unique loadouts. 212th: Have 2ndAC (a JT subunit with a medic, support, officer, and officer whitelist), Ghost Company (only a set of bodygroupers), and Foxtrot (a whole RC squad). They also have multiple cool lore character positions. 41st: Have all the basic subunits (including JTs), control over the BARC and AT-RT trainings, and Green Company. 104th Battalion: Again have all of the basic subunits (including JTs), have negotiation training, and the Wolfpack (some badasses with jetpacks and cool lore stories). 21st: Have the basic whitelists again (including JTs, but I believe they are missing some), have KU, and SO (have a cloaking device). Rancor: Have all of the basic trooper whitelists (with JTs, also includes the ARC specialized MED), and have the Alpha ARCs. CG: The only other battalion to lack JTs on the server. I would love to see them put a suggestion up for the addition of JTs if this is successful. Anyways, they have the other basic troopers and DS. SOBDE: They do SOBDE things, we’ll leave them out of this. From a side-by-side analysis, you will notice that there are some battalions that arguably have more than DU (501st, 212th, 41st, 104th), two that have arguably as much as DU (CG and 21st). The nitty-gritty details of this analysis aren’t super important; the fact of the matter is that DU is at some level of disadvantage compared to many other battalions on the server. I’m not going to do some “fairness calculus” to prove this to you, as that doesn’t exist. I hope that this listing out would give you some idea of the relative standing of our battalion as we see it compared to the others. What would JTs add? We’ve already gone through this, so I’ll leave it short. JTs would give our battalion members the opportunity to experience the fun of flying around with a jetpack on the server. JTs would enhance our reconnaissance and aerial capabilities, and would create a welcome change to our current ground-based strategies during events. We will be able to finally take to the skies like so many others on the server and make more enjoyment for ourselves in CWRP. TL;DR: Doom's Unit would like to add back the JT subunit. Some of the arguments for this are an expansion of choice for new recruits, a rebalancing of the battalion relative to the others in the server, and a response to outdated arguments against the addition. I'd highly encourage you take a look at the entirety of the argument (at least skim through it) before voting. Thank you for reading and being patient with us!

@JosephI will be flipping my vote due to gathering context from someone vocal in Teamspeak. Next time avoid using VPNs to get on teamspeak from a ban next, it happens. Most of the time, they are contactable on the forums.

+1 So what he's avoiding a false ban? Who actually cares that he's going out of his way to fully enjoy himself on the server with his battalion.

Name:Joseph Steam ID:It's teamspeak Ban Reason:Disrespecting deceased community member (which I didn't do - My little brother did) Date of Ban:2/1/2021 Length of Ban:Permenant Staff Member(s) Involved:Sock Monkey Reason(s) why we should accept your appeal: I've asked my brother to stop minging several times - and he won't this has caused me to be banned (through IP) several times. I was not the account banned, but due to TS I was IP banned. (I wasn't banned on the server) I've let him no his Immaturity has caused me to be banned aswell as him Let me explain - This is not a case of "My little brother did it on my PC" No he did it on his but due to the fact we share an IP (Not TS accounts) I'm also perm banned. Idk what to do about this as I didn't do anything wrong, I tried to stop him, but he's grown he decided to do this. I hope we can come to some sort of a deal, I don't want my brother on synergy either, part of me thinks he did this to get me banned specifically. Evidence to support your claims: Whoever banned him can atest to the fact they banned him and (unintentionally) banned me I can confirm we are two different people if needed The Above link shows this happened before, but it was only 1 day....... Now that it's permanent it could be a problem.

This suggestion already exists, we all know

+1 His Brother 104th PVT PeaCok, CT Pvt Kandy is a minge and should be banned. I have known Joseph for the past 5 years due to this server. While we were both gone and off the server for the last lump sum of time we hung out in discord on the daily. His brother Jacob is a complete asshat and disrespectful bitch. Sure Joseph is using a VPN to avoid a IP ban in which he shares with his brother. He does not deserve the hate as he is getting for a relative.

+1 He didn’t do anything

+1, So I will say, this is all true, his brother was blacklisted and banned for a totally valid reason. He was impersonating a member who passed within 104th and being a total minge however, Joseph here was actually trying to stop them and has been a good trooper thus far. He shouldn't be punished for the mistake of his brother. and for the evading part, obviously the ban was against his brother, not him. Joseph wasn't the target of the ban however was affected due to being in the same IP. Take that as you will (he and his brother have separate accounts but due to the IP he got cucked)

+1. You guys deserve eachother in the dumbs.

-I'm currently in teamspeak but it's because I'm using a free VPN (only gives me like 500MB a month)-

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2331029867&searchtext= There is already a suggestion to add Poggle the Lesser into the faction to replace one of Dooku’s Tactical droids. Wat Tambor was added to the pack recently and he could be a viable choice as well seeing as he was involved with the Battle of Anaxes. Maybe he could be one of Trench’s tac droids tbh. Though I question the utilization of Trench and these non combative roles. The CIS was added more as a pvp faction and these few jolly dudes don’t ever fight. They are essentially RP positions similar to senators The Cad Bane idea is golden. It would increase possible interaction between CIS and the Guild and also makes sense. There are a lot of other options out there that would make more sense than bald bitch and horny steroid yellow Maul.

I really am not opposed to adding more CIS leadership to CIS. I feel it could be good to expand upon the big three and it could help spread interest within CIS. However, adding these two makes little to no sense. If you wouldn't add Maul to CIS, why add Savage? He worked for Dooku for a solid 2 episodes, and he wouldn't add any roleplay. Ventress is even worse, as she as a character who built herself as not being in that fight any longer, and to shoot her back into it when we are 2 weeks from the order makes no sense. However, there are tons of other jobs you could use to supplement. You could use Watt Tambor for example, a dude who worked with Trench and Dooku and who appeared in Season 7, and be another more roleplay oriented job rather than shooting. You could also add Kalani, the Supertactical droid from Season 5 and Rebels, and make him another roleplay job. If you want an action job, you could even add Cad Bane, and help bridge the gap between BH and CIS. If Bane is on, he can call BH to the CIS' aid in operations, and could even provide them with renown and provide some lore sense between the CIS and BH working together, which was done a lot. Besides Tambor, the rest of these jobs are already on server, and make far more sense than adding these two. They make zero sense not only in lore, but their roleplay simply wouldn't function. Dead clones who are dead still function similarly to normal clones. However, for a massive CIS job who defected from the CIS in season 3 to just be vibing would allow for them to just, not really have anything meaningful to add to the conversation. Hope this was helpful and inciteful rather than the monkeys hittin a -1 and just bailing, although I similarly disagree. -1

-1 Both Ventress and Savage would no longer be apart of the CIS at this point of the war especially at the same time. We should not keep adding onto the list of lore breaking characters onto the server. Nor do I believe the CIS need anymore jobs, especially these two. They would add little to no roleplay because at the end of the day they're just gonna keep force leaping away. It's funny because I have now seen you use lore to argue for things you want and then argue that the server doesn't follow lore to add what you want. You gotta pick a side.

-1 This doesn't just automatically "add rp". I also agree with Scarecrow's point: Ventress and Opress wouldn't operate during the same time as they were both under Dooku during different time frames. Doesn't make sense. EDIT: I also just don't think the CIS needs more force wielding jobs. The ones they have already, will destroy the entire unit that is targeted. It's not needed.

+1 I don't even see why we don't do it with a few other ships? Like imagine a LAAT/c with an AT-TE just warps in to a battle on Geonosis and drops that shit down or a ARC-170 comes in for CAS. Would be sick.

+1 this could add new Rp or Gameplay for people aka during Cis Ops we have to worry about 2 other force users rather than just Dooku and Grievous.
