Genuine question, when was the last time you joined the server and just , talked to people that weren't staff. Do you actually know what's happening or does staff just play telephone game and stuff doesn't get done the right way.

Im a dumbass and voted no instead of yes. To prove the point of what going on I see the same thing happen constantly nonstop its always the same 5-6 same events just with different names and roles that they do. I literally dont see anyone building anything anymore and I only see the same battalions being deployed constantly. These long dragging rp events where only one or two battalions participate on main server really kill the pop and is keeps people bored. Im gonna make my own post on this going over everything in my opinion on probably would need to be changed or fixed.

People are gonna say "Didn't you leave?" Yes and all these opinions are from other people that would like to remain anonymous. Numbers are slowly going down in every battalion. Staff team numbers are also super fucking low. (65 people) Updates aren't coming out. Content is dry and boring. High staff doesn't seem to care about keeping people interested in this server. Getting rid of Battalions won't keep people interested and connecting to the server everyday. All of this is shown in how many people have been resigning lately. A BCMD stepped down from his rank because the community is toxic and the server is garbage. Serious RP isn't fucking real. When was the last time admins had to kick AFKs so people could join? High staff just seem to be a bunch of people are disconnected from the community and only pop up once and a while to add something new that literally doesn't matter. At 3:15PM on a Friday you'd expect more then 40 people to deploy to event server during a full server deployment.

Defcon has all those things because they managed to steal alot of Superiors custom scripting somehow that they have paid thousands of dollars to get developed exclusively for them which is why everything runs so well and the can have those more complex systems. We don't stoop to stealing other peoples content and as a by product of that we don't have the newest and most exclusive systems out there (Not that you were suggesting we do this ,) 1. HAs being favourtised is some of the biggest horseshit I've seen in a long time because there are quite a few people I have disliked on a personal level that we have appointed to HA positions because they had been doing good work or they had shown themselves very dedicated to the staff team, they don't have to be god tier GMs as that's not what their position entails, if they are good GMs they get promoted in the GM team and some of that can cross over to staff but it's not the other way around. Reports on HAs are very far and in-between so I encourage you to actually tell Director+ about HAs doing wrong WITH evidence (we can't do anything about people bitching to us we need evidence) To clean up the staff team, we have already been cleaning up the staff team thanks to @traditional having a better schedule and better to keep an eye on things. Even former High staff come to us about problems because they know what to provide us so we can take care of it @Forseen @Dennis @Nade Jones have all done this in the past regarfless of how we parted. I can assure you it's not about who you know but your actions that get you HA and if you are passing judgement you are just as guilty as the others you have already dismissed for commenting on something they no nothing about. Some after promotion have shown themselves to be not suited to the position and have been removed after evidence and corrective action is not effective. Sanchez is coming to my defense because he is aware of my situation and is having a very visceral response because of that knowledge and I already communicated to him that A-Arons words aren't bothering me in slightest. Sanchez is a passionate individual which is what makes him such a good Director and we aren't perfect people that can make perfect decisions all the time, especially when we are fired up over something (I am guilty of this myself) 2/3. I am not suggesting your post (which I have read) falls into the category of bitching without solutions/ideas, your post was well thought out, priced an analysis of what was going on a proposed solutions, that is the kind of posts I like to see and we already discussed some of these ideas and getting them implemented (As I said before everything is being done in our spare time so it might not be super quick) @Omalic @Korm Ugh I forget who the new Regs are that we just promoted but here ya go, heres you giving them feedback on how they are doing, it's much easier to speak to someone about what's going wrong or report them for it rather than making a post on a forum post that they might never read. (Kind of how you said it's dumb to bring it up in a forum post?) Don't rest have the energy to expand in this more but the gist of it is that we have already asked for community assistance on getting things on track to report/punish people that ruin the experience for others and we cannot be around all the time. Like you said of you don't tell someone they are doing something wrong and how to fix it then what's the point? St the end of the day change has to be made to the majority as the minority can't keep things going all by themselves. (Forum posts are missing key things like tone and other context from verbal communication, this was delivered not in a lecturing way but simply stating my thoughts on the matter based on your reply take it as you will)

I would just like to congratulate @Regional on becoming a Medal of Valor recipient. It should also be noted that he is the first Medal of Valor recipient to have a lisp.

funny from joah = immediate community legend. I don't make the rules.

alright my honest opinion, Gmod is boring and we just stick around waiting for a lick of new content but gmod is just so boring

Everyone in this thread is dumb besides this guy. GMod is a 14 year old sandbox game that has thrived FAR past it's peak. If you were around for PEAK Garry's Mod you would know some infamous gamemodes like the original PERP 1.0 servers. Anyways, this is the annual GMod cycle. Players decline in winter due to holidays/school, people quit/take breaks, and slowly crawl back in March-April due to boredom, and then the flood gates open during June when school ends. Most developers, programmers, & mappers who all worked on GMod at some point in time have moved on to other games, or careers in the field tbh. Garry's Mod overall, is a declining game, playerbase wise. Let me show you the top garry's mod servers in all of the united states, right now, at 8pm on a Friday Evening Do you notice a trend? These are the TOP 10 SERVERS IN NA. Not a single one is close to fulll, and servers that are usually "packed" are struggling to maintain 100+ players on a friday evening during "peak" times. This isn't a SERVER "issue"; it's a Garry's Mod "issue". Also -

It's not just Synergy. It's GMOD in general. Take a look at https://steamcharts.com/app/4000 the game has been losing concurrent players every month. When the game went free for about 2 days couple of days ago, there was a spike, however it was minimal. The game saw an increase of players by less than a thousand if I'm reading the graph correctly. Game is almost 14 years old by this point. I'm amazed it lasted this long.

And it reached peak toxicity imo.

btw to those who think removing battalions is the solution, it isn't people who are loyal to those battalions just leave, which includes a good amount of people ik i'm not in synergy rn but if the 91st suddenly got removed (again) i'd be out again in an instant because i have an attachment to them which i've had since late june 2016 or something like that, so ye ok bye again edit: where the hell is my profile pic help i'm scared edit:nvm fixed it ok good

+1, Back at it again i see old friend.

Removing a battalion removes people dedicated to that battalion/faction. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Me, Fyi, Bro and Bigzach, and kinda llama but he was only a lord for 2 weeks, were the only ones that really stuck around after the removal. Rexko, shroomie, maverick(got banned cuz of how pissed he was), roach(not as actove as he once was), aust(resigned before removal but that was cuz he saw the writing on the wall), Apex, Baker, Chrome(ahhhh), Fours(saw the writing in the wall), and Hero, and others all disappeared after the removal and haven't come back. Removing battalions doesnt help really just make your battalion stand out but main issue I have seen is leadership and other issues that are easily fixable if people actually commit to there positions(not saying those who failed didnt but a large portion is cuz of that). We need to step in and assist instead of kicking battalions while they are down, doing so makes people give up and leave because "why the fuck would I work for a position when it's getting removed anyway and why would I comeback cuz everyone is so toxic"

Well well well..... How the turn has tabled. GO GET IT FORSEEN +1

D:

Staff dont need people or they wouldnt decline so many hehehehe and yeah ik people dont promote RP anymore it's all Kill Kill Kill. I saw someone trying to start RP in an event and everyone ignored it and started shooting. Serious RP is shit. I cant do anything fun without getting warned. Go semi

I think removing battalions will help cus maths. But there are some issues and the server ain't vibing like it used to. I get what you mean but I feel like people finna be put off from agreeing with you due to the way you present your points.

thats crazy

+1 well see who's better

+1 Excellent work within 501st

+1 loved ur builds back

Positive: - Makes DEFCON 4 less vague - Allows Base Ops to keep the base prepared without fully disrupting Trainings and stuff - People treat DEFCON 4 like old DEFCON 5 and don't actually clear the base - Lots of troops don't listen to BO but will listen to DEFCON so grants more control Negatives: - People camp outside DB - More DEFCONs to move through, prolonging events - Tad underused - Could be needless as You can give a command along side DEFCON I'm neutral because either way Base Ops will get yelled at

-1 reasons stated above

-1 You're great forseen, but Kelso deserves the position more. I'm sure you've got great ideas but You'er only a 1stLT rn, Kelso has done alot of 501st he's best fit for Rex.

-1 Honestly Forseen you are great but i really just feel that Kelso has worked hard for this and deserves it more Sos

Honestly I wanted to apply and was unsure, and upon speaking to some people I decided to apply as healthy competition can be beneficial as the best candidate should be chosen to lead the battalion and improve on issues as all of us are making an effort towards the same goals.

+1

+1, I wonder what changed that made you apply tho as you said you wouldn't at first

new phone who dis?

+1, one if the best GMs in the past

Definite +1

Hol Up i thought you dipped. +1

Undead was spoke to yesterday about this exact situation by myself and three other HAs. Don’t know if you were informed or not however this incident has already been dealt with by High Staff. //Locked //Moved to Completed Reports

Your application has been DENIED due to poor community feedback You may re-apply for another commander position after 30 days //locked //moved to Denied

+1 but make it so they can only rp in the village and a small perimeter around it. Keep them isolated to that area.

+1

Great app +1

I hope I’m excused on that regimental part mister! I even went outside of my regiment and into others! Wait... that sounds wrong. I WAS IN YOU

Name of the staff member you're asking: @Marvel @Sanchez Resident @traditional Question: Why did you start putting detailed reasons behind the acceptance and denial of Commander apps only to stop again? Further attachments: Concerns: I am concerned that we are back tracking into less clear communication between High Staff

again two times both times Fox applications literally just a miscommunication between directors on who was sending it out with finals around the corner for me, marvel planning on resigning, and me working diligently on bounty hunter docs we made a mistake. With blitz applications we asked if they would like the public sixta did not so we did not feel that releasing both reasons would be far to the other applicant. Also I would like to address something cannon it seems that if we as directors don't do something perfect you seem to hop on the train to try to direct hate towards us. Please stop we make mistakes, but we don't need to be called out when a small one such as this one is made. //locked //Moved to Answered Questions

@Joah My lord and savior may I please have my rep restored to +405 that it originally was at. I had lost it in a holy crusade oof balance ti bring the peace, order, righteousness and stability to rep that it once had. I did so to fight off sniff and tinos march of sacrilegious turmoil caused on the forums and allow for rep to be fair not to be boosted. I took the punishment but i feel the time on the punishment is up may I be retired to my former glory. Amen.

Sorry friend the people have spoken -1.

I got the same effect drinking a glass of Ribena. It was some heavy shit.

07 good luck in the future man

Good bye son, go get them thicc girls

dad no... You are forever a TK
