I could think of some cool game modes we used back in the day & a couple new ones that COULD intise some people who have never played it before. - Deliver the payload - Minigame series (This could consist of a lot of stuff like dodgeball, parkour, boxing, etc.) - Protect the VIP - Domination - Capture the Flag - King of the Hill - Search & Destroy - Standard TDM One thing that was done was every little bit of time that passes your team would get access to WL jobs like MED, HVY, ARC, and even RC. To keep it going fresh & to kick things up a notch. Personally, if the BvB was ran by Marvel & Ollie. I feel like the bias wouldn't happen like it did in the last BvB. Regarding the toxicity. And I might be wrong, but it really ain't that hard. I see people from all battalions commenting on how it could get out of hand, but since you think that, I feel y'all should be the ones to make sure it doesn't happen. Let's be real here though. The toxicity on started when stream sniping and horrible GMing was a thing. All of the fair matches had 0 issues with toxicity and there was even talks between some battalions afterwards on how good each team played. I TRULY hope most of you won't focus on the bad, and instead look to how we can make this better & bring it back for the newer generations to see. Also, Bro you weren't even there. Love ya though. +1

You just ass +1 SOBDE sweep 🙏🙏🙏

Name: Arizona RP Rank: SGM Suggestion: Bring back BVB to the server Implementation: For those youngins who don’t know what BVB is it’s Battalion vs Battalion PVP competition server wide for all battalions. It’s set up tournament style with a prize split between the people who participated. This would be a very good time for BVB to come back as the server is trending upward in numbers this could increase player count and bring something fun and (relatively) new to the server. As much as our GM team tries events do get boring from time to time so why not bring back BVB to add a little PVP competition to the server? This would boost battalions doing PVP style trainings and really drive battalions to go hard on recruitment for their battalions making a really dope competitive atmosphere for the server. We also have a few people here who have twitch streams and they could stream the games and others can watch promoting synergy and the streamers all in one like how it was done before. If server leadership doesn’t want to really dedicate the time to this specifically I don’t see why players wouldn’t be able to host it themselves along with the GM team IF the server leadership decides it’s better that way. But this suggestion is to really have server leadership dedicated to the idea.

I agree with brooklyn +1

Probably, anyways +1. W Arizona for putting this up.

Shit was never rigged, quite literally a skill issue if you think it was. Also I tthink lots of complaints about Toxicity are very valid, and it does slowly brew bad relations between battalions or people, but I think it'd be fair to give it a chance with this new player base. Majority of the players currently never experienced BvB or were never actually involved with it except a handful of oldheads that are still around. There would still be arguments and heated moments I guarantee but giving it a chance wouldn't kill us +1

The reason BVB disappeared never to return was mainly due to all of the toxicity and drama that would unfold during BVB. There was a lot of bad blood between battalions because of it and hell we even still see a bit of this today just with BOTM. Nowhere near to the extent of BVB however but it went away for good reason. We've toyed with bringing it back a little over a year ago now when I was HA but at the time server pop wasn't ideal and most battalions wouldn't of been able to participate. If this is something the community is interested in returning I'm more than inclined to look into it and potentially bring it back. All I'm gonna say is if the sore losers out there get outta control they can very easily ruin it for everyone once again.

Name: Casanova RP Rank: SGM Suggestion: As the title suggests Implementation: Make a google sheets document Description: Back on endor we had a rotation schedule for which each battaltion had an assigned time to be at an outpost and be stationed there. I think we should add this for Onderon at outpost Thesh becuase it gives each battalion an oppurtunity to both train as a team and give the staff members of each battalion a chance to do fun things for their battaltions. A 30-60 min for one battalion at a time with different kinds of RP and "mini-encounters" it could be everything from boxrp to a shootemup. This would also give server wide events a chance to happen in a cool way, for example thesh is attacked when 21st is stationed there, they radio for backup and the rest of the base can partake. For this to work, communication is key. If a GM wants to do an event starting at thesh, talk to the battalion stationed there, tell them their comms are being jammed if the GM doesnt want the base to know yet, or tell them to radio in for backup if they see enemies if they want the base to get there. There are all kinds of things you could do with this, with the only thing stopping you being your imagination! f Other: Old schedule for Anaxes. We'd do something similar to this but obviously with Thesh and maybe even some area in sector 2 if we want to extend it https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y3EEbYqnS9WtsyjthLOqM36UTUlg8YGuNvamKJNRzvs/edit#gid=0

Could it be the people who organized it that it led to failure? Seems like it. +1

+1 id love to have this back I rember back in the day it was one of the most fun things on the server

+1 Worth a shot, worst case scenario it gets removed and we say we tried to improve the server.

+1 just please have multiple game modes and maps instead of just being PVP every single time

I do admit the patrol schedules we had back on Endor were amazing. Having set times where a battalion would patrol this sector of the map, man the base walls, or occupy one of the 2 then later 3 outposts pushed the players to create their own fun. At the time we also had the Sith faction who could pose as "civilians" as well so patrols could vary from time to time. Unfortunately the server isn't like it was back in 2018. Most players expect every patrol to turn into a shootemup event and most players never step foot in Outpost Thesh unless there are NPCs inside to shoot. The actual proper civilian faction now also doesn't create a fraction of entertainment that the Sith faction did at the time and that's all to do with the state of RP in the server. I wish it were different but the way I currently see it right now is that a schedule system that forces players to go sit at Thesh for 30 minutes or so will probably only lead to people disconnecting or doing anything other than passive RP while there. Or they'd just expect a staff member to spawn 100s of droids or a BH Guild to raid Thesh. (Also not saying bring back Sith they sucked) This system returning is very unlikely as much as I liked it back then. Just wouldn't work in today's Synergy Roleplay sadly. I implore everyone that would like a system like this to go ahead and take a group of people out to Thesh every chance you get and just chill there or even just patrol around. No staff, no droids, just passive RP. It's a great start.

The absolute last thing we need are more u̶n̶a̶f̶f̶o̶r̶d̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ perma weapons that could be better utilized to instead make a group unique

-1 This does not need to come back like Marvel said all it brings is toxic and drama to the server which could cause people to leave I been through a lot of BvB and all of them ended the same people calling others stupid, your battalion sucks. That does not need to be brought back I know with the BOTM you still hear it, but it not as bad as BvB where you hear it every time you hope on the server

+1, the Guild has the slots, the model is in, Walon deserves to be more than "@ i need my model set pls"

Personally not a fan of it. While I would be for more events that arnt just your standard deployments. I think a tournament that lasts 8-9 Weeks isnt going to conclude well with the experience that I have had organising/overseeing it. Ive been heavily involved in the last 3 to 4 BVBs. The one thing that happened almost every time was about 3-4 Weeks in, Half the Battalions didnt care and motivation went south. If you ask me, The reason we didnt bring it back wasnt its toxicity, It was the lack of general interest in it and the amount of investment needed with the slowly depleting population at the time. It also didnt help when we handed it over to the GM Team, They gave it to someone who then gave favourtism to their own battalion for then as Management needing to step in and order a rematch between the 2 Battalions, at that point BVB was dead in the water and just ceased to function. Scheduling was a nightmare. Either you left out EU people or left out NA people, There was a struggle to get an inbetween. When you had 4-5 Matches in a day, The late matches meant the battalions with EU pop would suffer greatly. So when theres stakes for these matches were high, it didnt have much competitive integrity when the majority of the battalion couldnt participate. This can be solved by giving larger time slots. But you were in a tough position when scheduling a match between a Majority EU and a Majority NA. If you want this to work. At most it should last a month. Keep it quick, fresh and simple. Capture the Flag and S&D were flawed and without actual development of a addon, It will likely suffer the same issues. Protect the VIP just turned into someone hiding in a corner and turned into a standard TDM on the bridge. Elimination and TDM were the way to go. But personally I was more of a fan of the dodgeball and more minigames, They arent going to cause the issues we had in the past and just give battalions the time to have fun together. Toxicity, Its whatever, deal with it internally and fall back on the Chain of Command to deal with it. Even with all that I think just straight out bringing BVB isnt the best choice. I personally believe its a relic of the past that just needs to stay there. I think just giving more variety to the weekend deployments, such as similar game modes as suggested is a better way of doing it and stops people getting overly competitive over Gmod. So for me its a -1

-1 Fuck that. Don't get me wrong BvB was great fun and I got lots of Credits from it but at this point I feel like it's just getting repetitive and boring. Keep it dead.

-1 hell no shit was always rigged when it wasn’t pure pvp
