  1. Hello all, I wanted to let those of you, friends of Korm (Alex) know that unfortunately he has passed away. His brother was kind enough to notify those in discords with him that he would no longer be here and has passed away due to health complications. I cannot exress how kind and giving Korm was not only to this community but all the players within it. From the hours and hours put into the ARK server, to SOBDE suggestions driving me insane, to general assistance with whoever needed it, Korm never stopped and always put himself out there to help those around him even at risk of his own personal gains. Korm's family has a GoFundMe setup for his mother, to assist with funeral costs and this difficult time. If you have a few extra dollars to put towards him, I would request you do so. It is the least we can do as a community to pay him back for the work he has done. I personally have already put in a donation. GoFundMe Link I hope those of you that were unaware before this post can find your peace. I request we use this thread for respectful thoughts, support, or hopefully stories you shared with Korm, good or bad. Things you will hold onto to ensure that his memories remain and he never truly dies. I know he would of liked leaving one last laugh, or joyful memory to this community. Memories become all that we are, I will make sure Alex's memory stays here, I owe him that. I hope you all can do the same. Rest easy, brother. We love you.

  2. Hello all, for the past year and a half I’ve had the opportunity to serve as a member of management, and TRD for three years before that. I appreciate all of you who have assisted me and helped innovate what Synergy is today, I hope I did a good job. Unfortunately life just gets busy and I dont want to stifle new ideas by being idle or not as attentive and hands on as I have previously been. I will still be around on TS occasionally as I doubt CT Headquarters will come to an end, but I will be ‘resigning’ from Clone advisor as well as forfeiting any discussion of the Legend tag, I just would like to become a normal player again. Thank you all for playing a big part in my life :)

  4. So i know i know i got suspended blah blah. But what that did is really just show me that this game isn't that fun of a game all the time, and I'm not mentally where i need to be to be able to play games that can cause heartache like this ones does. I had one of the worst days of my life, got on the server wanting to not think about it, and got suspended. The place that I'm supposed to go to and relax and have fun, wasn't that in the slightest. It made that day even worse, it damn near broke me. I asked to get blocked from posting so i could think a bit, but i've just been dreading going back, so i'm gonna be parting ways. So my final message, mental healths some shit, Am i doing anything about mine, no, doesn't mean you can't do something about yours. I'll see you all around.

  5. Name of Staff member: Dennis Comments/Concerns: This will be controversial. I don't care who sees this, I would say this to his face if he was in my channel. This is about Dennis. I try to remain calm and polite in every possible situation and to give everyone the respect that every human deserves intrinsically. But this here is a man who I have lost almost all respect for. I'll write this towards Dennis from here on out, because I know he can see it, and I think he should read this. Dennis, your attitude is not the attitude of someone who should represent our community. You are at the top eschelons of our staff ladder, which is a position that multiple people over the course of my year on synergy have described as a position that requires and expects a high level of maturity, confidence, ability to handle situations well, and ability to take feedback to heart. The only one of these things I have seen from you, Dennis, in the last months, has been confidence. Confidence in yourself. I understand that you have many people who are your close friends- and that I will most likely make all of them angry with this submission, but that doesn't matter to me. What matters is that you understand that you have made a very large amount of people unhappy in your current positions, and have represented the community horribly as a result during those times. Some examples; now I'll preface this by saying that no, I do not have evidence for all of these and no, I do not always have the full story- but what I do have are a LOT of perspectives from different situations and my own experiences with you. For one, there was an incident a while back involving RSB Director Trevor being slighted by a jedi on base. Trevor (Naval Character) contacted a member of the CCS, the BH clan, hiring the clan to assassinate this BCMD. Later, there were multiple reports of Trevor disappearing and Kevin Colt reappearing, being made aware of said bounty and attempting to assassinate the target jedi. This was a shitty thing to do. The reason why this was a shitty thing to do was not because it broke any rules, because technically it did not. Technically being the key word. What this was, was a power-gaming scenario of someone wanting to kill someone who had talked badly about you. No matter how you spin that situation, the bounty hunter clan which you LEAD was contracted to assassinate someone who YOU had an argument with. It doesn't matter whether or not it was against the rules, that's awful behavior that someone who is supposedly a role model to every single staff member should NOT put forth publicly. Furthermore, another situation; something that happened a long time ago, connected to your previous denied commander report. A community member named Aaron (Who, by the way, I do not enjoy the presence of- this is not because he is my friend, this is because there was awful behavior.) reported you for a multitude of reasons. The reasons and the report have been put in the past, for fine reason. The issue was your initial response. Your first response on the post started with the line "Alright Aaron since you wanna be the perfect little church boy let's begin". You then proceedeed to try and undermine every single point in the report by shifting the focus towards Aaron, bringing up multiple examples of his bad behavior. I don't support anything that Aaron did, and yes- he was not the best person. The problem is that you attacked someone who tried to bring attention to your shortcomings. That is a telltale sign of understanding that you did something wrong and immediately trying to shift focus away from yourself in order to lessen the impact of any punishment you would recieve. That is a deplorable thing to do, to attack someone because they brought something up about you and completely ignore the actual points brought up in the report. You later admitted that you "fucked up". It's good that you admitted that- but it does nothing to change the degree to which you fucked up without remorse. The action was still done, an admission of slight guilt does not change that. That's not the only occasion of this behavior. Just today, (12/11), a dispute involving /CCing in BvB was called to the front stage during DU's match with 212th. Whatever conclusion was reached, whatever the BvB rules were clarified to be, one of the very first things you said were that it had been done all season by battalions like Rancor and SOBDE. (A lie- even if they were just examples thrown out, that's a dangerous accusation to make.) One of the first things. A reference to something bad done by another group in the past in order to shift the focus off of yourself and possibly reduce the degree to which you are possibly punished. Again, it does not matter to me whether or not DU exploited- what matters here is how you handled the issue. Something else presents a problem. The multitude of examples of you becoming exemptions to rules, or rule clarifications. For instance, the rule being put in place that Dooku does not count as a 24/7 RP position and as such the person holding Dooku can also apply to another applicable position. Another example of this is a rematch in the BvB match talked about above^ and a re-clarification of the rules, despite the certainty that doing such an act IS considered exploitation. Both of these are instances of you riding the line of a rule and benefitting from said line, pushing the rule to such an extent that they need to be clarified even further. The behavior of one who is supposed to uphold rules is NOT to test them, to bend them, or to break them. You know this. If you don't know this, you SHOULD know this. There is no reason not to. It is almost certainly conscious of you to make these decisions after multiple incidents; even our rule about what channels are considered "Private" was created because of something you said in a teamspeak channel. I know I am not the only one who holds this train of thought. Another issue arises from your (Dennis') blatant lack of respect for your peers and other fellow community members. There is nothing inherently wrong with insulting someone or doing so in a joking way- nor is there anything inherently wrong with having bias- everyone has bias. But to say so publicly and strongly is a problem for someone who, again, serves as a role model to EVERY staff member. Especially one who has even reported other members of staff for a lack of professionalism in the past. The constant gossip, shit-talking, spreading of rumors over the last months even just surrounding you has been astounding, and only serves to bring negativity to the server. You are a Head Admin. People look up to you. People look to you to make decisions. You are a clan leader. The BH guild accepts your opinions, feedback, and advice because of your experience in the guild. You are a Captain in the Navy and the director of RSB. Naval members look to you for decisions, leadership, and maturituty. Now, I am not the be-all-end-all of a good person. I don't consider myself to be too smart or talented, but I am confident that my moral compass is at least slightly reflected by MANY other players on Synergy. I understand that I might sever some connections, even with you, as I write this. Just understand that the reason I'm writing this is because I believe you need to read this, Dennis. I think you need to hear this from someone. I think you've done a lot of good work for the staff team, and your time in the GM team and rank of GMM speaks for itself to the positivity of your presence in the GM team, even if you claimed that BvB would 'count for 5 events worth of time' (a claim which has been vehemently disagreed with by every single person involved with the running of BvB I have spoken too), but you are a representative of the community. And this is not the behavior of a person who represents hundreds of people, nor manages them. I am writing this as feedback. This is not a report. Please do not treat it as such. The end-goal of me writing this is to show Dennis the way that many people regard him, and to elaborate on specific issues. I hope Dennis sees this. I hope he understands this, even if he does not agree. Do I think he should be demoted from HA? Not really. I don't really think he should be demoted from anything, but what does need to happen is an improvement. A serious improvement. What I see right now is a person who is not trusted by the community. A person who has not made any effort to earn the community's trust. I am posting this publicly on the forums. This is because I want other people to tell my why they either disagree or agree. I don't think something like this should be one-on-one, because I mentioned other people in this and it isn't fair to them to say those things without them having the chance to elaborate or point out inaccuracies. If this counts as Witch-Hunting, please tell me. I will gladly amend this post or take it down if it breaks any rules. I wanted to post this on the Community Feedback form originally, but for the reasons above, I want to put it here. If the staff team would rather I put this in the community feedback form instead of here, I will gladly do so. This just needs to be read. Evidence: It would be a stream of pictures/other things if this section was used here. If some information was innacurate, I will remove or change said information in the post. Do you want this to be reported to high staff (Negative or Positive): They'll almost certainly see this, and it's not a specific event, so sure. This did not feel good to write. I am not happy about posting this. But I am more unhappy with the way things have been recently involving you. Please look this over. Please keep some of it in mind. I say this to you as a friend and a fellow Synergy member, and someone who is not afraid to give you criticism that can be acted upon.

  7. Hey. I had a much more crude and cold post originally, but I wiped it. I am resigning again, and likely permanetly from Synergy. I will continue to assist Square as he needs assistance with updates but I do not wish to have a direct role, or responsibility to this community. I feel I have put in more than my fair share of time and effort over my multiple years here and that time needs to find it's end. With that, I request you do not DM me in relation to Synergy on discord or Steam as those are mine and I will likely block you. If you have something for me, message me here. My reason for leaving relates hard to three factors that I will not go into in detail on, as to leave on a more positive note. The short version is between my health, job, and the Gmod culture, I have no drive or time that I want to dedicate to this project. To the person who leaked my resignation coming up, fuck yourself, that's not your news to share and you are a prime example of the shitty culture built deep into Gmod (Not Synergy, Gmod). If you want a more heartfelt goodbye, one that captured my more passionate feelings, please review my old leaving post. You can view that here: https://synergyroleplay.com/forums/topic/13165-taking-a-step-back/ In conclusion, this is my goodbye from Synergy, I have much more important things I need to focus on moving forward. I am aware this is short and cold, but at this point I feel the people that know me understand. The other people, well I don't really care. Memories become all that you are, so make sure to live long enough to leave some behind. Everything eventually comes to an end, let it happen naturally. Stay alive friends. Sincerly, Zim / Spencer

  8. As of the update of July 3rd, the founders were very actively hands-on and you’d spot them in groups for weeks at a time. This was the last time we’d see it in such an active state, before its very inevitable decline. Why do I say inevitable? Because of how you all are as founders. This post may come across as toxic at times, but it is sincerely heartfelt, and spoken from the eyes of a player in synergy. Someone who’s watching this server die at a second hand rate, and wants someone to acknowledge what’s wrong. At no point is there intended offense, and this post should be read in a more concerned tone than an angry keyboard warrior tone. Community figure heading None of you have the time to dedicate to fully assisting and aid in anything this community would actively need at a moment's notice. It’s a lot to ask of someone to be readily available at any moment, especially with real lives at play, but that’s just the root of the problem. Your guys’ life. All of you are very very busy with your careers, and that’s excellent and all, but it has obviously shown that you as a founder team cannot act as you would before. Oftentimes, the community would be looking up to you as a team to do what’s right and to take initiative. But what do we get to watch instead? You promote Xaze to development coordinator and dump everything development related onto his shoulders, when we’re at our lowest we have been. This is just a spit in the face to the community. Having talked to the developers, I know they appreciate this promotion, but they are also aware that this hasn’t changed anything. There power has been the excat same, they have even been able to do stuff without you guys even being aware. Hell, did you guys know that there are some models that have been added to the server for specific events, like the imperial one? This was in fact the opposite of harmful, so don’t get mad at this fact. Infact, the player base was at a consistent 50-60+ players for the weekend it lasted, and everyone loved the two models that were slid in. Your lack of involvement as a team as a whole has left the community with a sour and bitter taste for you all. It’s actually by the day that certain people get called the real founder team over you guys, in OOC. OOC of all places. Now you guys can do what you normally do, which is brushing this off your shoulders and saying that the community doesn’t know what they want, etc etc. But it’s become clear that a good chunk, at least half, of the community don’t trust the judgment coming out of you all as a team anymore. This leads into the next point. Step up, or step down Take a look at all the top communities. All their owners started as no-lifers, constantly grinding out what’s best for their community and doing what they thought was right at that moment. Even still, top dogs like corvezo and scott don’t even have any out of house jobs because they can rely on the steady income their server is making.Which brings me to our next topic, which I’ll go over in just a minute. With what I mentioned just prior, I’m curious how willing any four of you would be in stepping down from your positions. It’s obvious you get free income, and maybe you’ll fight to stay purely based on your past in the community and how deserving you think you are of the spot due to your past deeds, but even if you think you don’t want to step down, take a moment to think. Are you capable of maintaining the old workflow you sought out prior? Is your time valued enough to be wasting away at a garry’s mod server, when your real career demands so much more? The dilemma this post brings up is almost immeasurable on your end, but you have to realize where you are as people in our eyes. The fact that any one of you could step down, and not so much as a blink would happen on how the community is being ran right now, should say heaps to you. This has happened once in the past, and it seems to have come time again, for things to change. Drastically, at that, with who is in charge of the community. If none of you are willing to step up once again and show your face, then there is no reason for you to keep your positions. The longer you sit uptop and do nothing, the more angry your community will be. Server income Any player, and at all, can look at the store page you yourselves made very accessible to track, and that’s a good choice. Because we can see that you get at least $100-$200 a week, maybe even more. At what point is the line drawn between how much of this you will be pocketing? There is no chance in any way, shape, or form that this all goes into development and server upkeep. If we had someone actively track how much income is made from that page alone, and compile it all into a monthly over-all, would you confidently say you're still putting that money back into the community? I would beg to differ. If you are going to pocket money like it’s a business, then at least treat it like one. With that, I’d like to ask for it to be publicly stated. In what scenarios do you pay your developers? Is it just for things like those big battalion packs? That map? Some of xaze’s code? Do people like woeny get paid? Someone who’s been a very active figure and overall leader in the community these past few months? Someone who truthfully is doing the job you all should be doing in a community sense, someone who people respect and look up to? Server status We all know how it is. This community is so unmotivated and unwilling to get on, it’s crazy. The demotivation, in part, comes down to how you as a founder team are acting. With not a peep from your mouths but occasional “update” community meetings or Q/As, how are we to find any motivation at all. Development is not the problem, and that’s very very clear to anyone. Xaze and jayarr push their asses to get updates out at a constant rate, and no one can say development is at a low. It actually has peaked at this. So what are you as the founder team going to do? Push for a big update? What’ll that do? Absolutely nothing. Two days of hype, then several weeks/months of downtime. There’s nothing more to say about the stats, it’s just sad. Each month we drop about 5-10 players in population, and it just keeps going down the more silent you get. Take a look at this chart https://i.gyazo.com/38f2accfc49e0d5f5afafb13f2b99cb9.png Notice those peaks? Those are all community held events. We have to push, every day we can, to make major events happen, just for a hope, a little spark that maybe people can have fun on the server. Fun is subjective, and not fully your fault as the founder team, but god damn if this just hasn’t been acknowledged publicly or talked about with any form of a solid plan at all. What are you going to do? So with all of that said, what is your course of action? Will you step up and change your ways? Do you have any plans at all devised on what you’re going to do to make things better? Everyone's confidence is low, and we don’t need another beat around the bush answer. Please just tell us what you have in mind, we need to know. If not just for knowledge sake, then for the sake of the community. Don’t just hit us with “Oh, you all have so much to complain about but no solutions!!!!”. That’s not our job. It has never been our job. This only falls on people who are either management+ or the developers. We as the community are not in charge of longevity and health, we simply maintain the balance by doing something we occasionally have fun with in this video game. I hope this post got the point across, it may have been passive aggressive at times, but there’s no other way to seemingly get the message to you all. If it’s not publicly made, it’s easily disregarded. Please just take a step back and understand where we’re at right now, and don’t take on the defensive in a heart beat. I know this does not seem it but i will always have mad respect for the Founder team, I love Square/Jad/Dragon/Forseen and have looked up to them, but i see no other way at this point to convey suggestions or to push you guys to do the server justice. Put that same effort you guys put in when you first got the server, when it was bouncing back and at its best, seeing Jayarr/Xaze/Woeny/Maddoxx putting in 200%,without these 4 people the server would die, I cant say the same for you 4.

  9. The time has come that I say goodbye to the community. Unfortunately, as some of you may already be away, I have gotten some real life work that has got me working roughly 40 hours a week and because of this and timezones, I can't really be around when anyone from the community is online anymore. It's due to this that I mast step away as I am just sitting in the position being a Founder where I've done nothing for over 6 months now and that's purely because I haven't been able to find the time and/or the motivation right now due to the major fatigue from work. That being said. I hope that you all continue to enjoy and appreciate the huge amount of work and dedication that comes from the people that work on this community. Synergy wouldn't exist or be where it is at today without the long nights of work and care that these people put into the community. I will always have the utmost respect for these people as they have worked tirelessly to keep the fever-dream that this community is alive for so long. @Jad@Square - You guys were, are, and always will be like brothers to me from the other side of the world. You guys have always been completely honest with me, regardless of how harsh and it would be. People like you are rare and hard to find. @Woeny - You've always done everything you could for not just the higher echelon of the community, but mainly brought the voice of the players to the team and always kept up with everything, even whilst balancing other games and real life shit. @Xaze - I know that since you've come along you've never really seen me as someone that is above you within the community and probably rightfully so. You're an extremely talented, knowledgeable and self-motivated individual that I believe you are the catalyst to the communities success at the current time and in the foreseeable future. You're an amazing human being and I have huge amounts of respect for you and always will. Thanks for your passion in keeping this community going, it wouldn't be here without you. Honorable Mentions - @Fizzik @Bbstine @Tomas @Maverick @Marvel @Bacta @Fyi @Naffen @Daytona211 @Baron @Brooklyn @Dennis @Maddoxx @Kurt @Conrad @Pythin @Ron @Gears @Enzyme @Freck @Jayarr @Heart and anyone else I may have missed. It has been a pleasure being in this community with you all. Nihil perpetuum, pauca diuturna sunt; aliud alio modo fragile est, rerum exitus variantur, ceterum quicquid coepit et desinit. Translated: Nothing lasts forever, few things even last for long: all are susceptible of decay in one way or another; moreover all that begins also ends.

  10. Hard to believe what I've done since I've come back. Last time I played this game I was 15 and just starting highschool. Now I'm almost an adult and am trying to pursue a career in voice acting and radio. Because of this game. But I think I've overstayed my welcome. I still love this game to death, and I want to keep playing, but after I took my LOA I layed in bed for 7 hours just thinking about how I only had a year left of highschool, and then my life would change forever. No more football games, no more friends, no more Abbie. And what was I doing? Throwing it all away. My grades are the worst they have ever been, I'm failing classes, I can't focus on tasks, there is a weight I carry on my shoulders every day of my life. And I can't put it off anymore. I can't spiral any more than I already have. So, it really hurts to say this. But. I'm done. It's time for me to grow up. To go live my life. I learned so much from the people that I met on this game, and I wouldn't be the person I have become without you guys. But I need to finish highschool. I need to grow up. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey. If you don't receive an @ in here, its probably because I am too tired to think. Message me and we can chat. Listen to this song if you ever feel overwhelmed or crushed, or when you inevitably look at the camera roll I'm about to drop on this post. I know it helped me clear my head. @Daytona211 Won't forget what you taught me and how you set me up to have one of the greatest Gamemaster teams I have ever seen. You were always a great friend and I'm thankful for the opportunity you gave me. @Woeny You may have been one of the biggest bros of all time. Literally could talk to you for hours about anything. I always felt I could go to you for anything and laughing at 2am with you for nights is something that I will never forget. @Jad The first time we talked after I was given GMD, you told me "Yeah you'll be saying 'thank you Jad' a lot" I didn't understand how right you really were. Thank you for everything. You were my biggest mentor. @Forseen For as many arguments we had (lol) I still think you always tried to do your best for the heart and soul of the community. @Dragon @SquareWe didn't interact as much, but thank you for giving me the opportunity to help the community and make friends. @Orion@Black@NissanMikli@Rizzo My greatest regret is what I didn't get to dedicate to 501st. I really tried to hold things together in my personal life but everything is coming crashing down and I know you four can make what I dreamed a reality. It already was set in motion. 501st was becoming amazing from the rubble we were dealt. I'm so, so sorry. @Marvel You honestly helped me stay sane the past 2 months. Couldn't ask for a better friend. You know where to find me. @PogDamn shame we didn't get time together. Go be a BCMD. @Conrad Thank you for believing in me as a gamemaster, and being a great friend. If I had to make an event for one person, my immediate answer would be you. @Mitchell Was fun interacting with you. It's a damn shame you caught me out of my prime. Watch this vid I put in bruh. @Bacta You're doing a great job. Far past my expectations. I don't know how you have the time for anything you do. Keep it up man. @Mavelle When I become a famous voice actor you'll be my first phone call. Listen to this song if you still feeling down about shit bruh ^ @Marshh Reg. I cant @ you for whatever reason Jake. But thank you. Thank you for being the reason I stayed. To the Gamemaster Team: I pushed you guys. I lot. Because I was tired. Because every day I would hear an iteration of the same old tired phrase. "The events on the server are stale and garbage." Half the people saying it had never become a gamemaster, never understood the effort some people put in. There are poor gamemasters. There are poor events. But that never stopped me from trying to break out of the norm and providing people with an unforgettable experience. And we did. With no event server for weeks near the end, we raked in almost 40 encounters with an average rating of 8. Thats unheard of. Were some of the ratings inflated? Definitely. Is that the fault of the Gamemaster Team? No. If you hate the state events are in right now, you have no right to bitch until you strap in your boots and really dedicate your time to the team. Then you have absolutely free reign. But until then? You guys go through hell, meticulously crafting your events, for what? For some moron event job to ruin them and result in 3/10s? Normal players don't even see anywhere close to this side of the team and I am glad we were able to mitigate that as much as possible. You guys have learned so much and It makes me happy how far me and my team were able to take you. This was my escape on the server. Where I could join into a random event with a gamemaster who had no clue who I was and absolutely blow people away. I never thought I would be a Jackson, A Punda, A Joah, A Nade, A Daytona, A Black, within the Gamemaster program. I never believed I'd leave an impact. Well. Anything is possible.

  12. I understand the need to institute change in what is seen as a failing system. But don't you think it's a tad cruel to completely drop this on top of a bunch of unknowing 21st who were expecting some of their people to gain positions. Like you could've closed off applications to begin with but let them all run just to deny all of them? and the fact you removed the most unique subunit to replace it with a plaster of a 2nd havoc squad. You sapped a lot of the unique structures and made it almost just 212th. It has the main battalion GM/212th, a jetpack sub unit 44nd/2ndAC, a elite subunit focus on special ops KU/GC, they even both have removed sub units SO/Foxtrot. These changes sort of fundamentally flipped a batt upside down and tell all the officers to leave by wednesday and expect it to be popular? Don't you think you could've made people more aware, maybe had some sympathy for the people of the battalion? And now it's all dropped on Bacta's head like he's the one and only head of this and the pioneer when it probably was a proposal from HC he just accepted. And there was 0 input from the actual fucking battalion. Why would you lead them on like this just to fuck them this hard? You kill 21st, make it purple 212th and just tell the officers to fuck off? What happened the last 2 times this shit was tried? Is it hard to learn from your mistakes?

  13. A lot has happened in the past few weeks. My mom got surgery for her arthritis recently and can not walk so I need to take care of her for a bit. My 93 year old Grandpa went to the hospital and was told he doesn't have much longer to live so I need to spend time with him. I also recently got a full time job so between taking care of my family and working I will not have much time. I am going to miss everyone and thank you to everyone who helped me get to where I am today. I will be back someday to finish what I started but for now Peace Out.

  14. The reaction is a bit ridiculous but I'm gonna go ahead and be that guy and say that you shouldn't have recorded this and posted it on the forums. He's clearly just extremely upset and people are irrational when upset, and now people are only going to know him as the dude who made a mistake and melted down if he comes back when he was really just a chill ass dude who had a bad day. Edit: I was spoken to by the Founders on behalf of the staff team about the context of the situation and now understand their thought process behind it. While I still wish it didn't come to the public posting, most of it extends to the fact that I wish it didn't happen at all. Heart fucked up and got an equal response to it. Sucks these things happen but it does.

  16. So this is going to be hard for me to write, and is going to be a long post as I am going to be stepping away from Synergy. Synergy has been a great place for me for a long time. I joined the server about 4 1/2 years ago and I have some great moments a part of this community. I started my time in CG, worked to 41st, worked to Rancor, then to SOBDE and Jedi. I like to think that I have tried to accomplish all I could have accomplished on the Server. I can probably say one of my most favorite moments of being on the server is when I got to be a Liaison. I had such a great time helping people, and being to do good for a community. I wont say I was the best member of the community, I had my fair share of mistakes and fuck-ups made along the way, and I like to think I tried to fix them, and make it better However, I think it is time for me to finally put my hat down and let go. Recently one of my friends talked to me about how I never do things with them anymore, and how they always see me on discord when we are out, and how I feel like I am always in a rush. Another thing is one of my friends Pronto, who recently left, Resigned because he realized there is so much more to do in life then be Focused on Gmod. This got to me a lot, and I had to realize that I am spending too much time playing the game, and not focusing on getting my life started. Shit it has gotten to the point were instead of my Name I hear all the time its Pythin. Literally nightmare right there. This realization made me get to thinking that I need to fix something, and to fix that it means I need to leave. I need to resign and to work on my own life. Even tho it sound like I am regretting the time I spending countless ours on Synergy, it doesn't mean I regret the people. I have met so many people on the server, many which I am so happy to have called my friends. I'd like to give them there respects here for the moment @Bbstine You are a great person, and I cant wait to be there as a homie on your special day. You never stopped believing in me , and in someone's helped shaped me to be a better person @FyiNGL That SOBDE Reg position thing did piss me off , but That will never discount the fun I had with you. People like to think you aren't the best person in the community. I like to think you are an amazing person, and poured your heart and soul into this community. @Mazen We didn't see eye to Eye sometimes, but you are a great person who only wants to help Synergy grow. Keep it up and I believe you will make it places someday. the way you manage stuff in this community is a good skill to have and help IRL @MavelleYou only care about the growth of Synergy and have done so much for it. You are brillant at GM stuff, and keep it up cause your talent for creating entertainment can get you places in the Entertainment industry. @MarvelBoy do I miss the times we had back when we were in Delta Squad. It was such a great time working with you, and to now you are always fun to be around and a rounded person @Sock Monkey You never gave up on me, and always pushed me to be a better person. I'd like to say that you were one of the best people to come out of this Community. I hope everything goes well for you, and I hope you keep in touch. @Daytona211Even tho you treat me like Dirt all the time I know its all games. You always give the best advice to me, even tho I might not listen to it sometimes. Keep it up man, and sorry for doing this earlier then I said. BB will fix itself, it always does. @ForseenHas had my back for as long as I can remember. People like to give you crap for whats going on, but I know you are doing the most you can for the server. You are a good friend, and I hope all goes well in University @Finn@Spieler@Guac@A-a-ronI am so glad to have met you guys. Keep doing what you are doing, and you will make it to places @XazeYou were literally my Day 1. You trained me, brought me into CG, and brought me up to be a good Trooper. You are a great friend, and I know you will do your hardest to develop things for the server @ToasterBath@Cox@Teaa@Caidoon@Eclipse@Metro@Naffen Y'all the Homies FR. Stay in touch, and stay awesome @ConradGreat guy, and amazing personality. I love how you always have something great to say. Been a friend for a while, and I hope you'll keep in touch @SOBDE I love you all. If there is anything I will never forget it is my time in SOBDE. I love you guys, and don't worry, SOBDE always bounce backs. If you need my advice on anything dont be afraid to ask @Sixta@Stockings Y'all funny af. Keep it up @BrooklynI know you got a lot on your plate, but If I can give any advice, don't do too much. You will burn yourself out way too much, and you will have to choose eventually. You are a great person, and always keeps it real. Dont ever change @Oldies You know who you are. All my old boys I love the time I spent with all of you, and cherished every moment of it. @ThorpyVEVOFavorite British person. Keep being based and not like standard british people @shroud On god you stuck up for me in the Council, and for the shit people give you. You were a good council member, and a good friend. I hope you'll keep in touch and play some games with me in my free time. @Deku <3 @Maddoxx You is a amazing person for the Job of Management. Keep it up, and you will definitely shape the community in a good way @WoenyWe have known each other for a while. So glad to have met you back in the day, and got to be friends with you. @Maxwells Fellow Aerospace Enginneer. I hope you keep going with it, and finish strong. Cant to hang with you next august. @Ratio @JadI no longer have you in my back pocket @Dragon I hope all thats going in your Job is going well. Keep it up. The way you are I know you'll make it far. @Luther On God. You will enjoy your time in the military. I am glad to have met you If I left you out I am sorry. I am sure that We have had our fair share of interactions, and I hope to have left a mark on you as you all have left a mark on me. I just believe it is time to take a leave, and focus on my life ahead of me. College will be back up soon, I am about to become an Uncle, and Tailgate Saturday's are about to get real. If I have any advice to give to you all. Enjoy your time you have on the Server. It's not really about the game, but about the People you meet along the way. Thats what got me to come back all those times, because Its were my friends are. Make friends, and have good times. Remember at the end of the day its a game, and not to get sucked into it. AND NO I WONT BE THAT GUY AND COMEBACK. Too much is going on for me to come back on the Clone wars. I will still be active in TS playin games with the homies when I want to chill, or in Discord if anyone wants to chat. This is Pythin signing off for the last time Thank you Synergy for all the memories I have made

  17. After a few weeks full of contemplation, I sit here now writing this out with confidence and a calm mind. It was a was year ago this month that I made my return to this server. But it wasn't quite what I was expecting. I didn't know anyone, and barely anyone knew me. Times had changed so drastically from when I first made my mark on star wars RP all those years ago, and it was something I wasn't quite ready to face up to. That hesitance wasn't something I lived up to, though. As I caught up with one of the few familiar faces, that being the founders, I realized that maybe a different approach was laid out before me then I had initially thought. Through talks with @Square, and after having already started working on a new map, I was picked up into the development team, where nothing short of an amazing journey started, and is now ending here today, on a much lesser note might I add. People like @Mazen when he was cody were quick to pick up on me becoming a Developer, and while I didn't quite know who bacta was at the time, he ended up forging into one of my strongest connections and one of my closest friends on the server. I have a whole group of friends now, which I quite frankly lacked coming into this server. That is what I will take away from all of this, and what I can strongly familiarize myself as an accomplishment. As for my time as developer, it was nothing short of a rollercoaster. I've faced some hardships, but too few to count as an experience I won't remember. Things got caught on the upswing only four or so months after I got developer, where the team started coming together, starting with @Xaze. There is no better partner I could have asked for when it comes to development, and often times we were able to see eye to eye on things we both agreed and disagreed with. It feels unjust to leave the team at the current state the server is in, but I've played my hand long enough and delayed this resignation for months, as I'm sure @Jadremembers from one conversation. I likely wouldn't still be here if he didn't convince me to stay. As for the position I hold on the server at the moment, I quite frankly do not care. I've become palpatine to implement changes, and I've seen some of them through. I had bigger plans, and I regret that I couldn't quite touch up on all the factions to the extreme I wanted to, but all things considered, I'm not going to be holding an in game position higher over how I feel in general. Life's a hard game to play, and I've been out of it for too long. I could surround myself with the fantasy that is star wars RP for much longer, but I've dumped seven, nearly eight years into this. I don't want to reflect on that when I grow to be older, I don't want to ponder in a saddened way about how I wasted near a decade my life doing something the inevitably never lead to anything for me as a person. It's a harsh reality, and while I've not been able to come to acceptance about it before, I've forced myself to this conclusion for the betterment of both my health, and for me as a person. What ill-will I may have will stay out of this post, as I've said it loud and clear in the places I think matter. I don't tend to shout people out, because those who matter most to me will still be hearing from me often enough through discord and likely TeamSpeak. I wish you all luck. I'm glad to have helped where and when I could have. "Regrets, I've had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my way"

  19. Hello everyone, my time on the server has come to a real end. I know I am only a month and a half into my term and it pains me to be typing this right now but due to some IRL events in my life I will have to be leaving earlier then I would have wanted to. My life has gone on a roller coaster recently, some of you do not know but about a month ago I lost my grandfather, my best friend, my tutor. He taught me to be kind and loving to everyone I meet and never, ever take anything for granted. My vehicle that I drive has given out on me and I still owe money on it even though it no longer is working, I have to now get a Job because I am essentially paying two car payments now and it is time I walk into the real world. (Don't worry I'll make it). So my life has kind of turned upside down. I find myself playing other games and not getting on the server as much as I would like. All that is doing is hurting me and the battalion I promised to help. @SEXICOwill now be leading the 41st and should be the one who gets Gree so he will be fine. I will still be playing other games and in my free time (if I ever have any lol) will be streaming the games I am playing on Twitch. No I am not going to publicly put out my twitch but if you want to add me on Discord to stay in touch or ask what it is I will be willing to let you guys know! (Discord: ImmTyler#2179). I am truly sorry to the 41st if doing this upsets you guys just like they say IRL takes precedent and I hope I wasn't too much of a let down for you guys and you truly understand where my heart was when I applied for Gree. I hope you guys can lead as an example and become the battalion I have always wanted you to be. Thank you to everyone who helped me out when I was running for Gree and everyone who believe in me, it truly meant so much. I hope that I made a solid impact on the server and truly showed to people, as long as you keep it on your mind anything is truly possible. I have made some amazing friends on this server and I will cherish those moments. I love you all, it is time I take my Improcco free thinking into the wild and get myself out of the mud I now stand it. Thank you for a wonderful time and I truly wish everyone the best. From the best Fit Fisto there ever was, Tomm (yes with 2 M's) PS, when times get tough never forget to...Just Breathe ;

  20. This departure has come at last. Today I take a well needed break after a long stint in staff and commander positions. Im here to say ill dissapear. but honestly.. I really need to go and find some new hobby. My time here has been completely unforgettable to the fact that i saw it irreplacable in my own personal life. Ive met some people that I would truly call friends and can shoot the shit with. This community had alot of highs that i feel people ignore cause "hurr durr gmod server", I think people really dont get it, the world is really doom and gloom out there and this place is a massive escape for people who just wanna forget about it. Theres some things i wanna layout, I had this whole thing in my mind how i was gonna do this, such as saying all the things I had issues with.. but lets be honest, Nobody fucking cares and ill look like a massive twat. I do wanna mention that alot of people need to really chill the fuck out sometimes, ask yourself this.. "is this really as big of a deal that I think it is". I look back at what ive done. Yoda, HA, Director, Management and i hope at the very least i left my own mark on this community. It might be a bit egotistical to say i wanna be remembered. But I just dont wanna be forgotten.. Final Note before I list all the people that I like and go all sobby. There are definitely some people who are gonna be jumping for joy and suddenly coming back.. and to I that i say.. Keep me living rent free in your head. So lets do this @SquareNot enough respect given to you. I dont think people see the work you do behind the scenes and how much you actually do. @JadI absolutely dont know what I would of done if it wasnt for the guidance and advise. I am forever thankful and wish you luck in life @ForseenSame goes with you, When a certain incident happened (everyone knows what im talking about), you put down the hammer on me and yet still was one of the only people that came to me and was willing to work with genuinely kept me sane. You really gave belief in myself and I truely a great person. @DragonGood guy, genuinely does alot of great work behind the scenes. Deserves high praise. @Sock MonkeySame goes with you. Big insight on the community and deserves credit. You still need to give me TRM btw. @WoenyGreat guidance and someone who Ive loved to hang about with. deserves what he has. @FyiKeep going, Keep pushing. You WILL get where you want. I assure you will, prove the people of this community wrong and dont change yourself. @WolfroLove you brother. such a wholesome guy and genuine gent. @CrimsonWe butted heads alot but you were a great Director Partner, I hope your doing fine whatever your doing currently. Theres alot of HAs i would like to shoutout but there is Way.. WAY too many for me to try find them all. But they all did good jobs in there own way, ill shout out a few individuals @ConradChrist you have been everywhere.. Keep doing it. @Dekuget palpy @BrooklynGreat guy. Knows when to get a job done @Freck Go get Director 2 Days after getting HA again. Genuinely great guy and fucking love him. @JovanovicKeep going at it @Willyworm1It was genuinely one of by biggest regrets denying you for Spec Reg back then and i truly apologise for it. But im really happy you are in high command now. Ill always remember you and me doing Jocasta Nu and 327th RP. @StormzyGood job being yoda and keep in contact. @skylurgamestook balls to put a app up for Yoda and i respect that @MaverickI sucessor for Yoda, Times we didnt see eye to eye but atleast you had a backbone to tell me when i was wrong @JaBakuput some fucking life in the order. great yoda @SixtaKeep the wheel turning. @BactaOne of best Codys out there. Hes a big memer but he truly had a heart for this server. @DennisYea we went at eachother alot but I cant really say anything bad about it.. im sure some people want me to tho ;) @StixDoes a good job as HA and positions hes in @MaddoxxMy Pick @TurtleBig Dub right! Nah your a fine HA @StroodleGood Ha aswell @Bbstinehell of a liaison and kept my sanity alot and just a wholesome guy overall @ClutchYou were by far the biggest opposer to me for 2nd term but by god you were an amazing Windu under me. Quite franky you were my only Windu @Finn@CarvisThe best gays on the server @BudMiss you @MavelleKeep that GM Program running, You have a good mind and you and me have talked, you know what your doing. Cant find tyennochs account but im glad hes back and doing well, same goes with Jagger, Amazing guy. @Elijahbig backbone for the High Staff when he was HA @Comicsalright... heart to heart buddy. Sometimes shit happens and it sucks, I get it. Soemtimes you just gotta get on with it and learn as you go on and im sure you will get to where you want in the end. @EagleGenuine person. Lastly.. @TazRemember that time i fingerbanged ahsoka I could go on and on about this. You really couldnt get me to stop. But lets be honest. Its long enough. If you feel you deserved an @ im sure ill get round to you. Other than that... Im free.. at last.

  21. Simply click this and read his responses. Dennis got caught lackin and turned into 6ix9ine in custody. 12/11/20 - 2/25/21 is 2 and 1/3 months, not a year ago. These quotes are from the big man himself "only reason you have these recordings is because yourself and Aaron constantly sit there and record the TS" Literally saying "Only reason you have evidence of me doing bad things is because you recorded me doing bad things." "It saddens me to see the battalion go from super active numbers and then to have it completely wiped out because a few people want to be a school yard bully" Blamed his battalion activity on two people. "Aaron is calling me out for being toxic when he was previously community permad for being toxic, neither of you two are as innocent as you want to sit here and claim." Still going on about how one person is the root of his problems. "Aaron" Literally the title of a paragraph defending himself. This is about as credible as it gets. There's more if you go in and read everything but I'd be retarded to quote it all. Top that off with his TL;DR having no correlation with the shit he said at all. btw if i get a warning point for this then yall mfs better strike the other people providing shit to people who asked.

  22. While I am going to -1 I will say that a decent amount of others were doing it for very selfish reasons, in particular, two which I can point out right away. Wren, I think if you had the time to really prove yourself a capable leader then you could have done so. But due to your own inabilities (and likely a little bit of baiting from legacy members), you've shown to me that you're not exactly qualified. For one, there's a clear issue is that you caused a rift between the older members but that's the least of my worries because of how they were acting as well. You allowing this to happen in your own battalion makes me wonder why you didn't just cut off the fat. But a lot of your bad decision-making stems from one thing: You lie. A lot. And you do it because you're too scared to confront people for wronging you and the battalion as a whole and then proceed to punish groups of people rather than a singular person. You've also shown with the RDM incident that you'll act in this way to protect yourself as well from humiliation rather than taking your lumps and learning from your mistakes. And that leads me to my next point. Your legacies are absolutely out of control. Their biggest issue is that they didn't realize that no leader is perfect, especially when just starting out. None of them allowed you to make mistakes and learn from them, instead they grabbed your hand and yanked you in the direction that they wanted to go. And many of them weren't civil about it at all. The only ones I can think of are Grief, Egg, and (to a lesser extent) Cloud that would actually ask questions and try to help you get better. But in the conditions you were under, I almost can't blame you for acting the way you did. Almost. Literally probs just parroting from someone else. My man, you got removed from the battalion because instead of trying to make things better, you decided to talk shit about him behind the man's back. Extremely disrespectful and absolutely uncalled for. In my experience, you joined, goofed around, and then were completely destructive towards Wren. You deserved your punishment. The "little interactions" you've had have been almost nothing but talking shit in the Discord. When we were messing around in the memes channel you literally couldn't help but to throw shade at Wren for having to put legacies in timeout for a bit. Do I think he should have punished the group? No. But that doesn't absolve you of being a huge problem child. I'm surprised Wren hasn't pulled up his big boy pants and dealt with you in particular. I thought he would after Comrade's punishment but apparently not. Also you don't play anymore. But anyway, that's all I'll say here. I'm tired and wanna go to bed. Inactive Lumi out. Good luck on your app.

  24. I have sat down, written, and rewritten this several times. This is one of the most difficult things I have had to write in my entire life. There are just so many emotions that I have had to try and process and overall, I'm just so disappointed. For those of you who do not know, I am currently Mace Windu. I have known Par Par (Super) for a very long time. We never really used to communicate a lot, but over the past half year, we have gotten to know each other pretty well. I remember when he first put effort into rising up in Jedi, when he became a member of High Council. We worked together as equals, from Lulu's term, into Entity's term, and beyond. Which is why it is heartbreaking for me to write what I am about to, as within the past month or so Super seems to have become someone I do not recognize at all. The first two months of his term were amazing. We, the High Council, myself, and Super, met almost every night to discuss changes that we were planning to the Order, things that we were noticing, issues that we wanted to improve upon. We were all treated as equals; not one person acted as though they were better than any other, and things ran smoothly. After those two months, however, things started to slowly change. We met less and less, Super started to spend more and more time in the SOBDE channels or just with SOBDE members overall and the High Council heard less and less from him unless he wanted something done. Instead of being requested to assist with plans as an equal, the things he infrequently needed done became a demand. The person before me has changed in the past month, and not in a way that I think positively benefits Jedi. The High Council started hearing from him less and less. Any time we wanted to speak with him or we searched for where he was, the answer was always a locked channel that very few people had access to, most often the SOBDE channels. Sure, he was always available via DMs or could be pulled away, but you never had his full attention. Most of the time, within the past month or so, whenever I did need to speak to him, he was always engrossed in some other game, even when we had a pre-arranged meeting. I understand that I don't get on as early, EST, as others do and he is completely valid in playing other games with friends, but just as many people say they never see me on Windu, I never see him interacting with the Order because he is always in a locked channel. Speaking of meetings, there we so many times that I had to bring things up multiple times before they got done. For example, the rule rewrites he brings up in his app. I would bring a rule to his attention or something that needed further clarification, and would state that we would need to sit down and just go through the entire rule set to make sure everything was up-to-date. He would say "Yeah, we do need to get that taken care of." A few days later, I would have to remind him again that we needed to set up a time to get things taken care of. Almost everything that needed to be done required me reminding him several times that they needed to be done before we actually set a time to work on it, usually last minute. Half of those times that we set up a meeting, he would show up late and distracted. The High Council and I would usually do most of the writing and revising and he would just say "Yeah, that sounds good." We would discuss ideas and his biggest input would be "yeah." Some of you have asked why some of these concerns weren't brought up before today. They have. I have talked to Super personally about a lot of the issues with the current rank system. His reaction was to brush me aside stating that it was a work in progress and could always change later. My original idea for this ranking system was to allow Padawans to attend the trials in any order that they wanted, so that if there was a trial they struggled with, they could still see progress while they worked on their "skill issue" i.e. fighting the best sparrers in the Order. The original plan also included using merits as a way to progress further in the Order with maybe some kind of way to bypass a trial for outstanding performance in an event or tournament, as long as the action was related to the trial. After finding out that we weren't swapping to the new map, I brought up my concerns on needing to get dupes created for the rest of the trials so that they wouldn't be held up. Here it is, a month later, and they are "being worked on." I have not seen any of these new dupes, I don't know what the plans are for these new dupes, and I don't know how many people are involved in the creation of these new dupes. I've just been told that one is done and the rest are being worked on. A lot of the other requirements that are listed, I did not agree with and I voiced my concerns before they went live. "Work in progress. Can always change later." I don't doubt their quality and no offense is meant to the admin working hard on them. It's just nothing is really being communicated at this point in time. When Super has issues with someone, he doesn't really communicate those issues to the parties directly involved. He keeps lists of the issues he has with someone. He lets those issues fester and when he doesn't see improvement to behaviors that haven't been communicated, he either removes them or has someone else remove them. Often times, we as the High Council wouldn't even hear about these issues through him directly, instead they ended up communicated to us by third party individuals afterwards, many of whom shouldn't have even been involved. He dislikes directly confronting the individuals unless he is the only one that is able to. Sometimes, he has even removed someone without communicating why and that person then finds out from someone else the reasons. He was there when the Jedi Disciplinary Guide was written, when we stressed that when someone is removed, they need to be communicated the reason why and it needs to be clearly documented because of issues that have come up in the past. We have always stressed communication and no removal without warnings unless the reason is really egregious, in which case the reason for removal should still be stated. He throws that out the window. Let's talk about this shadowing system that Super brought up in an earlier post. One day, out of nowhere, this form was posted for shadowing High Council Members. No one in High Council knew this was coming out. I didn't know this was coming out. There was no discussion about it. A few hours after the form was posted, a message went out saying that it was full. The first two people to put in a response were the only ones being allowed to "shadow" the current High Council members. Those High Council members weren't given any input on who was chosen or why they were chosen. What if they wanted more than one person to shadow them at a time? Needless to say, concerns have still not gone anywhere even after bringing them up. I think it should speak volumes when the majority of +1s on this app are from people who aren't part of the Order and contain very little substance, but the majority of the -1s are from current Masters and Council Members who have at least attempted to explain their positions. A majority of the people who spend time in the SOBDE channels know more about what is happening in the Order than the people who are actually in it, including the High Council and myself. And I had DMs with Super almost EVERY DAY. This is plain to see when you look at the individuals who have responded to this app. If they aren't current Masters or Council Members, the majority are members of SOBDE or were recently members of SOBDE, the channels where he is seen more often than his own faction. To summarize, there are a lot of things that need fixing, things that have been brought up to him previously only to be brushed aside. Lack of communication has only further pushed the Order apart and I am worried about the future it will have. He has done some things that I believe will benefit the Order in the long run and I liked who Super was. I wish him the best, but I do not believe he is the best person to move the Order forward into a successful future without him relying heavily on those around him. -1.

  26. I joined back the community during the summer of 2021, initally I was simply bored and thought I'd come back and try playing Jedi.. I joined 212th since that was my first battalion and I still had some friends in there... From there on it was a wild wild journey.. I would've never expected to reach the rank of Commander yet alone go even further and eventually become Regimental Commander, I've never thought highly of myself but somehow I managed to do it. But throughout this journey I've seen one too many people leave.. Synergy will always have a place in my heart but at some point real life become more important and intrests head elsewhere. @Mazen@Spieler If it wasn't for you two I don't think i'd been able to half of the things I ended up doing.. Not only are you great friends but you've also meant alot to me on this server. It feels awkward to @ you since in no way am I gonna stop talking to either of you but I just wanted you two to know I am extremely thankful that I managed to meet you two. @Katy@Lovestruck@JuniperI highly treasure the time I spent with you 3 during Katy's Yoda term, I had a lot of fun hanging out with you and it truly meant a lot to me. @JayarrIn many ways you've been a role model for me and I wanted you to know that.. Wanna play insurgency later? @Guac@ColMy time in SOBDE would have been nothing if it wasn't for you two. Col, the time I spent as your Fixer is a time I hold very dear.. It was some of the best roleplay I've had on the server and I've held on to it for a while struggling to recreate it.. Guac, I am very happy that you trusted me to become the BCMD of SOBDE.. I think in the end my SOBDE Term went very well and it wouldn't even have happened if it wasn't for you. @Conrad@StixThe time I spent with Obi-wan was extremely enjoyable and you 2 had a major factor in that, I treasure almost every moment I spent roleplaying as your Obi-wan while you went on to do Anakin things. @TessaKitty@Keegan@BleachI know I spent a decent bit of time talking with you 3 about running for Regimental and it meant a lot to me.. It saddens me that I didn't end up doing close to anything that was talked about but it truly was fun. @Cubby@Bane and I guess @ all of Galactic Marines, I am still very sorry about my Bacara term.. I'm ashamed of how bad I did and I wish I pushed on and tried more.. But I will say at the very least I had a lot of fun roleplaying as the leader of the marines. @Finn@meowthemeowerI am very thankful I got the chance to be a regimental with you two, I know it barley lasted 2 weeks but It still meant a lot to me. @XazeNext time I get on if I ever do.. please at least execute me one more time. I suck at these type of things.. I missed a lot of people but writing this pains me as it is and I can not continue on.

  27. Hey guys. Ill be very upfront about what has happened. On Saturday July 16th, One of my best friends fell off a boat. He never surfaced. We setup search parties on water, air and teams on land. My partner and I found him and carried him back to the staging area away, long deceased. The walk to an area he could be airlifted out took forever with him on my back. The details of that are pretty much as nasty as you would think. I still don't think its fully cleaned off me yet. Since then, I haven't been able to log on. I feel guilty every single time I touch the computer if its not work related, like I'm wasting life because I seem to have forgotten that tomorrow is never promised and life is precious. I tried to play today and it just didn't go well. I want to thank each and every one of you for building the experiences I had over the last 7.5 months. Between the Jedi, the sentinels and shadows I spent my time with, the council I got to spend my car rides to work with every weekend. To the members of SOBDE who have built my home for the last few months. All the players who attended my trainings (because those were my favorite thing to do). To the staff team, the GMs, the Devs and all my other little homies out there that didn't fall into any of those aforementioned categories. I appreciate every one of you. This was really hard to do today, but I know this is my wakeup call to focus on my business, my relationship and my health. Words cannot describe how sad this makes me feel. I truly do care for all you guys and I wont lie, I feel like I'm letting some people down, but I know you do understand. So here's my final words. Never take life for granted. Never underestimate how much further you can push your life forward if you show some self discipline and take those leaps of faith. Each and every one of you has wonderful qualities and will achieve something amazing in your lives if you allow it. Make time for those who care for you. Spend time with family, spend time with friends. When you look at someone you care about, ask yourself what you would do differently if you knew that person was going to be gone by tomorrow and then make it happen. Life is precious, especially your own. Treat every human with kindness, think outside the box and spend a little of every day working on your plan to be successful. o7 Take care, Synergy.

  28. Holy shit, what a journey my return has been. Joining my home in the 104th, returning to staff to becoming HA. 104th Private to Wolffe? What a great ride it has been, and I hope that you all enjoyed my presence as much as I did yours. @Slak and @Deku I cannot thank you both enough from the bottom of my heart for being my command team. Having the support and knowledge from two experienced individuals, definitely makes my job a lot easier. I gained so much knowledge and a new way to look at things that might not be apparent at first sight. I thank you both again. @Hanz what I said above but like 1/3 is kinda accurate while the rest isn’t at all. Deku's puppet. But in all honesty it was a lot of fun to have you around. @Xaze0 days, thanks for all your help and guidance during my time, your term is going amazing and it’s only gonna get better from here. @Mater @Abraham @Razen @Gadget @Tomm and @SEXICO @Claw @Noodles and @Jhonathon and any SOBDE, the people I have been able to join among the ranks in of “up there”, you guys have been excellent and amazing to work with. Love you all, P.S, saw Abraham grow up into a BCMD 🥹 @Lyonaxis 😉 @Stix @Mavelle @Maddoxx @Fyi @Dennis @Freck @Stroodle @Bacta@traditional an amazing high staff team I got to work with. Once again, gained so much knowledge and had an amazing time while doing so. I tried my best to be the most non biased HA and I would like to say i achieved that goal. Thank you so much for the opportunity. @Wolfpack, it has been such an amazing time with you guys, many of you came and left, and others have flourished. I am so happy with the work and effort you have all put in to your branch, and the battalion itself. Thank you all so much @104th to the rest of you, you guys are all amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better battalion. You will all do great things in the future. I’m really high right now so if I forgot you, I’ll respond back when I’m not

  30. ooooh boy. Every single person on my buddy list. Didn't think I'd be making this post till i resigned but fuck it. This is just gonna take a while. this boutta come out weeks after the post. @AtlexI know you're gonna do good as rex my man, you've been stickin it out in the 501st for a long time, and your time is coming. I'm lookin forward to working with you closely a ton. @FlipBest doom nocap, you been ghostin me for a hot minute but you're a homie still. Was a blast being under you in DU, you're what every offcier+ would be like in a utopia. Still need to drink with you @Bactaoml you hurt my soul sometimes, but you're a real mf through and through. As spastic as you can be you've been doing a great job as BCMD, and you've been a constant friend since I've gotten to know you to have even some deeper conversations than I have with most people. It's been a pleasure to know you and work with you my man. Most of the time, anyway ;) @Babatundemy homie, you're one of my more recent friends but I still love ya for the work and dedication you've put into the GM team, and just how downright pleasant of a dude you are. I look forward to how much we're gonna be workin together in the coming months. @StixProlly the oldest friend I've met on synergy I still have. You've been a brother since the 41st days and I've always been actually impressed with your lack of ability to give a shit about pretty much anything you didn't have patience for. You're a great guy to shoot the shit with and the person I've most consistently been able to rely on to say it like it is, regardless of any drama or whatever else happening. @BbstineDon't know you as well but you still a cool dude my man, I genuinely consider you a friend despite the limited time we've spent together. Playin bedwars or bf2 or the forbidden sus game is always fun when you're around, and I'm glad to know you. @Paladin_My man you just left, I'm currently writing this instead of responding to your resignation so i hope this counts somewhat. You got a lot of shit but I know you genuinely were just doing the best you could in your position. You took an empty battalion and helped it stand again, nobody can take that from you. I'm glad to have gotten to know you so well and work with you so closely, despite how much we lost contact after the 104th. @BigZachI'll forever remember you as just about the only person who stayed with me on the tail of the 41st drama almost a year ago. When everyone else was looking to blacklist me, block a promotion, keep a suspicious eye on me or just straight up advocate for permabanning me, you were one of the very, very few that actually heard me out and would still talk to me like a friend in the weeks following the blacklist. I'm not sure if you realize it but I can confidently say that without you, I would have left synergy long ago. @Bittermy main man bitter, you were a fucking dream to work with dude. Whatever else happened know that you were always down for communication and compromise when we were working together on something, and we were really just on the same wavelength. The fact that two grown ass men can be woken up or interrupted during wifey happy times at 3 am to deal with gmod drama and not be snappy with each other is a goddamn miracle, and I'll always remember you in that light. @BraceBrace my guy, when I first entered high command you were a godsend. When I got mas and everyone else just kinda said 'hi lol' and walked away, you, someone I'd never met before, took the time to take me aside and teach me some things about high command it would've taken me months to learn otherwise. You took your own time to teach me how to do different things and essentially trained me as a member of high command. It seems like something small and it probably was to you at the time but to me it really spoke about just what kind of dude you are. @ VIP - BrooklynThe most intermittently toxic dude I know. We hardly had a great first meeting in the 41st Brook, but I'm glad we've really rebounded and today I can consider you a friend of mine. Working with you as 104th and then attack reg was one of the more interesting experiences I've had, and now as a member of high command you're probably the one I end up disagreeing with most, and when we speak we're as blunt and honest as I've ever been. And yet at the end of the day I can still categorically say I value you as a friend and that you're a good person to work with in the few times we've had the opportunity to do so as peers. @CaidoonI said it all in your resignation brother, but you are genuinely one of the nicest guys I've ever met. I wish you luck in life and I'm glad you're still poppin in. Now go get some more of that puss puss. @Chewmy man chew, I got to admit I'm sad that you're really barely around. But you're in the class of 18-21, and I genuinely think no matter how cringey it may sound that that's a bond that really can't be taken away. Despite barely knowing you otherwise I still consider you someone I leap to talk to and be around, because of the bond we made in those few hours. Just do me a favor my man, and come hang around some more. @ClutchI'mma be brutally honest bro, every time I talk to you now is one enormous shitpost. But despite that you're still one of the closest friends I've had on here. I got to work with you very closely between jedi and 104th. From your return to the community to you leaving again we were friends, and it almost seems brief now but really I do value you as one of the guys I've gotten closest to on here. @Eclipxemy man lelouch, how funny that you came up after clutch alphabetically as codified. I didn't even know you as long as clutch and once again looking back on it it really seems illogical that I consider you a close friend with how briefly we knew each other, but despite that I do because fuck logic. The concept, not the person. You were a homie in the 104th, and really helped me get my start. I know we haven't talked in a couple months but I hope you've been doing well in life man. @ColWhat's up my man. We've rarely interacted but considering we were in the 2ndrb and church's gmod server together many years ago and both joined here by coincidence I've always perked up when i see you around. I'm a huge sucker for coincidences like that, and it's been cool whenever I see you floating around, knowing our shared experiences, even if we barely even interacted in those other communities. Hell I had to look you up on the forums to remember I did your RASP, but you're still a cool dude. Thanks for hangin round, and I hope to get to know you better some day :). @BirdMy bro avian, one of my many children. Now my other padawans might not like it (read: they won't care) but you're my favorite child. I invested maybe the most time on you out of any of my padawans, just because you were willing to learn so much. And you didn't even need it, knocking knight trials out in one and even becoming a sage, which at the time was genuinely an accomplishment. You helped a ton in 104th until you went over to Rancor, and you helped with consular as well. Working with you so closely for the time you were my padawan and for a bit after was a joy and I'm glad i grabbed ya. You've always been a very satisfying mix of chill and interesting to hang out with, and I enjoy the time I spend vibing in a channel with you. We haven't talked as much recently but I'm glad we still keep in touch. @ VIP - ConradAnother homie in 18-21. I'm glad that I've been able to work with you recently. I was hesitant when I heard months ago you were considering palpatine, but I'm glad I got to know you well enough to back your running by the time you actually went for it. You've been doing a great job, and you're someone I also feel like I can just go to for life advice, despite that not really being our relationship. You're working hard to bring the server forward, and you let me use my out of game energies in a productive manner to help you, which I love ya for. I'm glad that in a time when HC has been getting such great people recently, we have you to lead us. @TheCyanmy man, I had no idea what people were talking about when they kept calling you toxic all those months ago, but my god I do now. Despite all the cringe you're a good friend, and you really helped me towards my start on the server. You gave me the first real leadership position I had and set me up for consular lead, which no matter what people say is more responsibility than most positions on the server. Despite whatever the fuck else, you were always good to me when it counted and I'll always remember you for that. @Daytona211you smell too much. Stop smelling. Real talk tho you're a good friend, and someone who's always willing to help out with different shit, you're one of the most genuinely giving people I've ever met, and you've helped me a lot with GM and programming. Love ya dude. (Edit: Why the fuck did that not post the first time. Goddamnit) @Dekuohh boy I barely know how to start this one. one of the closest friends I've made on the server, you've been with me in HC longer than anyone else, and we've known each other as far back as the 104th, really starting to actually work together in the senate. I don't need to say what we've been through together because you already know, so just know I appreciate you, brother. I'm glad the set of unlikely circumstances that would cause us to be best friends on this server has happened. And remember, "one hop this time" @Desmondbe active again lmao. @Donoheya chief, I've definitely known you for a long time on the server, since I first joined. We've always been kinda of sorta-friends, but with you joining back again we really got to know each other better, and through the gm team too. Lemme know if you need some more shitty digital logic tutoring. @Eaglewhyd you gotta leave us bro? You were a real homie for the bit i knew you, and really underrated. I hope you enjoy reconnecting with your friends man, it was great knowing you. @Finnshadow bcmd go brr. Despite our differences in opinion almost every time we speak to each other, you're a good dude, and fun to be around. Intel really do make brothers out of mfs @GhostLegendwell you're gone too, but youre in the 2ndrb now so I'll try and see ya round a bit more. You were always my advocate when everyone wanted to bury me for drama, and I enjoyed talking to you and helping you out. You were a huge part of my early time in the community. @Hades3481I wish you'd stuck around longer, but my time with you in the senate was great man, and you were a fun guy to hang out with. I hope shit works out for you in real life. @Chelmsfordinactive. Lowkey tho you were a welcome addition to the family while you were in it. The sage-104th jedi team will never be forgotten, and i loved you as a grandchild. @Hanzdude actually matured up when to be honest, I doubted him. But you earned commander brother, and did a good job with it. I'll always remember you as one of the few who actually cared about the 104th at the time, and a good friend. @Harrisonmy dude you disappeared into thin air. What the fuck happened to make you stop responding to every dm on planet earth and dip. Hope you're doin aight. @Jaggersomeone else I didn't know for that long, but it was a great time spending time with you when you were here, you were an integral part of the team. Hmu when you're inevitably back in a couple months and we can hang brother. @KatyI think it was a bit rough when i first met you, but you've shown yourself to be someone that can take your responsibility seriously, and your work ethic on the server is nigh unparalleled. Despite what you might want others to think you really care, and I respect that a lot. I'm glad to keep working with you. @KeviTheOnejedi fam. Come back my son, to the light. We haven't really spoken a lot in a while, something I'm just realizing, and that sucks. I hope you're still doin good, and next time you see me on hmu <3 @Logicyou cant even see this lmao. #freelogic @LyonaxisI said it to you the other night, but I appreciate ya man. You're a great dude to vibe with, and know how to let yourself have fun. Now be more active in the 212th. @Maestroyou fucking knocked it out of the park with DSL bro, I don't think the high point of my mas term couldve been that without you, and i am so goddamn glad i gave that recommendation. When you put your all into something you're deadly competent, and you're one of the most chill guys on the server. I saw you were comin back but it seems like you're just dipping your toe in the water for now. I hope you fully come back my man, and when you do you'll always have an advocate. Till then, enjoy life. @MarvelI know I barely worked with you towards the end of your term, but working with you as I launched into reg and you launched into rex was a great time. Even just playing miscellaneous games with you whenever I'd hop in your channel led to a lot of really fun late nights. I wish you luck with whatever you do next my man. @Clawmy god you and desmond hate each other a lot. You've been good to me as long as I've known you, though, and we've worked together intermittently through my time on the server. Talkin with you and getting to really know you in rancor was fun, and I hope you keep rockin it brother. @Mavelleon jah one of the nicest dudes ever. I said it on your appreciation thread, but seriously man thank you for being you. Genuinely a ray of sunshine given human form. @MaxwellsGetting to know you whenever you pop in my channel super late night has been a good time, and those few times we were both drunk late night were a blast. Just try getting on the server sober every now and then. @SEXICOYou're eager to learn and a good dude, I'm glad you're in 41st HC. You have a long way to go and I have absolute faith you can get there. You're someone I see a ton of potential in, and I love potential more than anything. I'm looking forward to see where you go. @WolfroHey old man, I'm glad to have gotten to know you on the server. You've always kept it a buck fitty with me, and It sucks that we arent really on at the same time a lot anymore. You have a maturity that leads to bein chilled asf while still being able to give perspective on things that is like a breath of fresh air. Between your time as plo and helping me out so much with early morning events, I can say that youre a great dude and a great dude to be around, and I hope we can work together more in the future. @NarraI've been seein ya come back my man, and I'm happy to see you around so much. We just need to talk more while you're on, I'll try and hop in when I can. One of my oldest bois, we've been brothers since I joined the server. Keep being you dude. @OrionAnother jedi child. You're a great dude, and I hope you make it to good places in life man. One of my closest friends when you were my padawan, and your dedication to the 501st is genuinely impressive. Keep on rockin it dude. Only downside is you eat lasagna made of bananas, like who does that? @PogYo dude, It's been a while but while I knew you it was a great time. Up there as one of the most chill, kind people to hang around with. I wish you the best irl brother, and if you're fully coming back just lmk. @Pythinstop pretending youre cool and you'll be cool again. I miss the old pythin. Literally last time I saw you on ts was September 24th, and that was for you to tell us that liason wasn't useless and then disconnect. Come back to us my child. Glad you're enjoyin college tho my man, keep working on enjoying life <3 @Reeseimagine powerplaying lmao @rico Can't even find your @, you left forever ago brother, but unlike narra and desmond and all them, you never came back. No shot you're gonna see this but I hope you enjoy wherever you are anyway. @Satanheya bb. I know computer problems go brr, but the time we have spent playing games and talking with each other has been great. Hope we can do that again fam. @ShockpointThe US is not a young country and you are inactive. Please come back and stop letting your girlfriend suck your brains out through your dick. Or don't, either works. Actually tho glad stuff is going so well for you irl man, you're a blast to be around whenever we do things together, and I hope that you find time to pop back in every now and then. Pvping with you for hours straight is some of the most fun I've had on the server. Love ya dude. @ShoxieI was fucking astounded to see you on this server dude. Before I randomly saw someone named Shoxie in the 212th channel and went to see if it was you, I hadn't spoken to you since like 2015. If you ever get more into this community hmu dude, I'd love to work with you again. @ShpackAnother of my earliest friends. We've both come a long way since january, and you're a great guy to work with. Glad we were able to reconnect and start talkin again my man. Keep it up. @SpielerLike lyonaxis i said it all the other night, but it's clear you've been a great guy since I first joined the 212th. I hope you're happy where you are now and in your future man. Sobde cringe. @StockingsYo dude, I've kinda known you on and off since I joined the server, but it's been a really good time working with you in high command, and you're awesome to work with. Hope we can keep workin together in future. @Stormzyyou fuckin gone LMAO. Despite how I left jedi you're a good dude, and I consider you a friend. Sucks that we never really talked to each other after I left jedi, but being in jedi was made a better time through knowing you. Spending all that time playing wizard 101 was a blast, and I hope you're happy with what you're doing now. @uriel can't find your @ so there's no shot you read this, but for the bit I knew you it was a good time stickin with you in consular man. Just such a shame you had to dip so soon, I think we'd have been really good friends. If you by some miracle see this message shoot me a dm, let's play somethin together. @Void:( you had to leave man. And you left the 18-21 groupchat too, what the fuck. You were in my jedi family and you were in 18-21, and you were a great dude to hang out with. I hope I get to work with you again some day man, and I hope stuff works out for ya. @WhataburgerI said it the other night. Be yourself, and you'll be alright. You're the youngest dude on this list, you just need to stop trying to be someone you're not. Look forward to seein how you do in the future dude. @Woodyoh god, why'd you have to do what you did. Both when you joined the server in february and a couple days ago. Bad idea. @Willyworm1my protege, my successor, my #1 main man. You're doing a great job with the senate, and it's in the best state its ever been in. I set my expectations low because I know what to expect from the senate more than anyone else, but you've hit it out of the park recently, and you've figured out the formula that I could never use. God knows you still care about the senate far more than I did at that time in my term, and I hope that keeps going. Just remember to get some senior senators — you can't do it alone, and you won't care for the senate forever. Get your own willy. Well that was a lot. I love ya'll, and this took way too long to make. For those of you still here, I'll see ya around. For those of you who aren't.... it was a pleasure knowing you, and I hope to know you again some time. The server has been a blast, and I'm glad for the memories I've made. I have so many images that bring back memories, but those are the ones that mean the most to me. The rest are here. Here's some videos of fun moments too :)

  31. For full dramatic and emotional effect, play the song! If not, Cut some onions! Welp. Truth be told, I'm tired. I've been procrastinating, and I'm at a point in my life where I have no idea where it's going to go. My girlfriend wants to get a house together, I want to focus on a career and making something of myself and truth be told, life isn't getting any slower. I've been playing this server since 2019, and it's brought me many memories, headaches and heart breaks. I don't want to feel like I have to get on because of my position in the battalion, and someone who is more hard working is deserving of it. Plus I played Halo Infinite flighting and that made me feel nostalgic. So, I'm going to be taking my leave. So here's a few farewells. Excuse me if these are sappy. @MarvelOf course you're going to get a mention, lmao. We played Halo Infinite together and that felt like old times, and that's really the drive I've needed. It felt amazing to play a Halo game with you again and just slay bodies, even if they were bots! But those bots could strafe! Couple more months and Halo Infinite will be taking over our lives again, and you know. We'll do the usual, finish the fight and look cool doing it. @justuscloud5 Thank you, Cloud. Not only for being a great guy, but an amazing friend. Since 2019, we've ventured on the server and tried to make our mark. Recently, it was a pleasure to be under you within the 41st and no matter what anyone says. You're a great, caring and funny guy. Just a top lad. I'll miss you, though we'll still keep in touch. One of the greatest Gree's. @KormI miss you man. It's crazy that it's almost been a year since I've heard your wisdom or you cracked a joke about dating my mom. I'm sure you're in Valhalla feasting with Odin and all the old gods. You were an out of the world dude, and I'll never forget how much of an inspiration you were to me. You taught me a lot, and made SOBDE and Null one of the coolest things to me. Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum, Ba'buir. Until we meet again. @Metro I'm sure we'll still talk and have countless and endless talks about the good times, 2019 was peak SOBDE. For me at least. As the great Metro Boomin' once said, Make it boom. We'll see each other in DownTown. @Shpack You've got a rough road ahead, but I believe you can do it. You have a warm presence about you that instantly makes you likeable. Don't take your future server aspirations too seriously, and surround yourself with a group of people that will help you no matter what. I believe in you. No more Clanky and Fi dynamic though, and I'm sorry. Though, We'll still have movie nights! @Stockings Thank you for giving me the chance of being in Improcco and Fi, you're a great dude and a great Gett. Take care of yourself. @41st Don't do anything I would do, if it's something I wouldn't do. Definitely do. @Eclipse It's a true shame that I never got to see your shot at Kal, but if you did get it. You would've definitely been up there with the greats, Keep being you and never change. Maybe the fat shaming part. Change that. @Marshh Dude, I can't wait to not hear you bitch about aim assist. On god bro, thank you for being my squad mate in bad batch, you're the second best Wrecker. Though, you're epitome of what Wrecker should be. We'll keep in touch. @Bleach 501st is an ever fleeing memory now, but a bunch of good memories. Maybe you'll learn to stay away from the server, but I understand why you got back into it anyway. Stop ironically saying Eh, and drink milk from a carton like any other person. See you on the flipside, kiddo. @Shockpoint You're the best roleplayer, game master and a great friend. I'm sure whatever you set your heart too, you'll see it through to the fullest. Devote your heart. @Ratio Aha! You won't be able to dumb me again after this! Especially not in SOBDE in general! I'll be gone! I'll miss you because one way or another, you've had somewhat of an influence on me. No more derailing events while drunk by hitting on red female twi'leks anymore. Take it easy, bro. @Crimson Our dynamic as Etain and Ordo was an interesting one, but it did create roleplay! Or that one time we took control of extensive and saved the entire ship. We'll probably end up playing arma together again, wondering why we spend hours doing it but then we'll remember it's to escape Gmod! @WoenyOne day, I'll learn how to play that damn harmonica. We did get off on the wrong foot last year due to me being a hard ass. You're a great guy, and I'm sure we'll see each other in DownTown from time to time, Mister World of Warcraft man! @DennisHaters are gonna hate. You're one of the most capable people on the server, and doing nothing but good things for DU. Keep up the amazing work, and I'll always remember that first recommendation: Doom's Unit Second Lieutenant MEDL Dennis ;) @Caidoon You're actually a swell dude. It was fun hanging out with you on EaW and hopefully we still will, but until then. Stay safe and I hope things start looking up for you homie. @NeptuneI'll never forget sitting with @Fyi and the gang while you make chicken tendies at 4am. Good times, the peak of SOBDE friendship. Fyi, we may not talk anymore but you've done a grand job. I'm proud of you. Neptune, we always talk but one piece is shit. @Dragon@Forseen@Square@Jad I'm not close to some of you, and I was close with some. You guys have done one helluva job with the server, you guys really dragged me back in after you made so many awesome updates and changes after taking the reins. Maybe if the server ever moves to a more updated game, (S&box, Soon™?) I'll come back. To anyone I have mentioned, I'm sure one way or another you've had some sort of way you've influenced me on the server. I'll miss this place but most importantly I'll miss the people. I've made countless memories, lost some on the way and made some in the process. Thank you, Synergy for being such a big part of my life in the last three years <3

  33. Korm helped with our ARK server and was a dear friend to me. I genuinely am heart torn. He was one of the nicest individuals I think I ever had the pleasure of speaking to. It was an honor knowing him. My love and hopes go to his family and friends. https://gyazo.com/1dabac8ca94276e69cc79df8f0c66bda

  37. Battalion: SOBDE RP Name: Executive Officer Naz Date: 9/16/2022 Reason: I've been a part of the server on and off for a very long time. (About 4 years) I never took any leadership commitments during my collective time spent because I knew how it felt to lead and didn't want any headaches. That was the way it always was for me until 7 months ago when I was allowed to finally lead Omega Squad myself after the squad was empty for some time. With the state of SOBDE at that time being a low point on morale and activity I struggled to spend my days optimistically. This was also the time when I was having to take up the mantle of responsibility as an Executive Officer. My only saving grace was having Brooklyn as a supportive and active commander to help me recruit 2 instrumental members Void and Ollie to this commando generation. The battalion, although looked very meek, was "saved" in 3 months and I have finally chosen to step down because I can no longer meet the standards of the battalion as a commander as a whole. At the end of the day, I'm very content with my choices and wish SOBDE and the server a promising future. Goodbyes: @Brooklyn marching on. @Ganar Good luck with whatever choices you make for your server career @Void don't die @Daytona211 you're so close to 365 days @Finn I completed my service o7

  38. as much i hate doing this, i have to. this is not a sob story, this is simply an explanation of what’s going on. ive ended up in a bad spot in my life, i’ve lost everything and don’t have a pc anymore, and my mental state is fucked. my parents just genuinely don’t like my and decided to sell my shit. so until i can afford a new setup, this is my goodbye. @Mavelle i’ve already told you what you mean to me, and how much i appreciate you, but you still get a tag. @Abrahamill miss you buddy. @Snadvichyou finally got me gone 🙀 @Conrad best of luck man, i’ll miss all the dumb shit we did together. @Spielerthank you for everything man, you’re one of the main reasons i met all these cool ass people.

  40. -1 I am going to say it very blatant, you are not ready to be Doom. You show a huge lack of maturity, a huge lack of discipline, a lack of professionalism, a lack of communication, etc. You have started quite a lot of drama in DU when I was Doom just so you can try to get me removed. Let me go more in detail with these points 1. Maturity. You simply told me you don’t care how you act in game anymore since you don’t care. Like you ran around on top of cuzzo’s head playing fart sounds with the name as Cuzzo FatAss. Whenever me or harsh would tell you to stop something you would disconnect and start a fit because harsh told you to stop. The reason why he got mad at that is because he got CMD before him . . . And when you got removed from brimstone all you did was be a pain in the ass to Caidoon. You would bitch about helping with HS tryouts, not want to talk to Caidoon, make fun of him in ways, and tease him(from my POV). Also once Harsh got commander you started a fit by leaving the game and ts once he got CMD and then coming back tomorrow just to get yelled at by harsh for doing something dumb and you disconnect AGANE because someone that worked for the position is yelling at you. 2. Favoritism. You show a HUGE amount of favoritism towards people you only like and if others were to yell at them or say something you would do your best to hold a grudge. For example: when Petrie was wanting to be demoted you acted like the middle man when you two were in a separate discord call trying to get him WO. You stood there trying to twist strings to get this man a position that he wasn’t even applicable for. Communication. How do you expect to be Doom when you can’t bring up or solve issues. You told flip and Maddoxx a bunch of issues but when it came time to tell me you did jack shit. You say there quiet in front of all the officers saying you had nothing to say. How do you expect to get anything done when you couldn’t say boo about simple issues? Instead you went straight above to the RCMD to try to get me removed. You and your group of friends did that every time something changed and you didn’t like. I am going to be honest here as well your plan makes 0 sense. From the looks of it, this app was made in 20 minutes. You listed off what the ranks do and what you want to change the responsibilities to but they are all already set like that, if you paid attention to the CoC enough they were set to a position like the exact same way you just said you want them to be. If you can’t make an app nor any changes to the battalion that ACTUALLY need work than damn. Also from when I was doom you started the ongoing trend of toxicity that happened in the battalion so how would it stop.

  41. Not sure it should've been recorded and posted in some weird attempt to discredit him and make him some toxic laughing stock. Also not sure about stripping your honourary staff, I mean you were staff and there's not much they can do to change that fact. You're a great guy heart, I'm sorry that you had to go out like this. You fucked up but I'll miss ya buddy. Don't let this keep ya down. Oh yeah and stop laughing at a guy clearly having a break down. It's pretty fucked up to be laughing at that. He's clearly upset & passionate; I'm sure you'd love to be pointed at and kicked when you're emotional. Grow up

  42. -1 here we go again im going to address each battalion and a few points 1. 21st - the 21st as we all know has struggled to be stable with activity and leadership for a long time now. During my time as reg i attempted to do the best i could to fix it. However, gadget has somehow managed to let it slip into an even larger dumpster fire than it was before. It took a director joining the battalion to help stabilize it after an overall shitty Battalion commander report removed claw. WE then saw three to four BCMD applications go up of people who were clearly not ready at the time. Then oxen comes back and gets BCMD and fails to be active more than what seems to be 20 hours a week, saying he has a family or work or things like that just means he shouldn't have gone for to attempt to fix it if he didn't have the right amount of time. AS of recent with Oxen's term winding down we have seen the one person in the 21st, butters attempt to unite the battalion under one banner get called a powerplayer after the BCMD takes an LOA till his term ends. After he leaves the battalion shits it self once again as the officers attempt to climb to the top of the ladder and people once again not being active in the 21st. Then the battalion members decide to start attacking themself and you do nothing to stop it, it has taken a Director and a founder to attempt to keep the battalion from getting removed. You have utterly failed in your role as a RCMD to not only prevent fires from starting but attempting to put them out once they start and your hours speak to it. You then also demoted mav from commander to CPT and then left and rejoined on his legacy to the rank of major. Your demotion has been completely null and void and you have dropped the ball and being told by the directors to fix the situation. these were your hours taken on the 28th with no LOA posted. these are your hours taken as of writing this post if the 40 hours every two weeks was still a thing you should have been removed. 2. CG - Runs into the same situation and an even tougher situation as 21st. However, i am not the only one to say that i rarely if ever see Gret on as fox. He has not had any commanders or XO for at least 2 months now. It once again needed the same director to come in and join to help out as the 21st did and only recently have we seen an improvement with the help from wolfro. 3. DU - During freds term the battalion suffered and you were of no help. Up until slak has gotten BCMD and old members returning to help out has the battalion, has it now been competing for the top battalion spot. You also out of left field decided when i was going to transfer back to DU to change my legacy rank along with chambers. For whatever reason the past 5 BCMD's have had no problem until you decided to talk to slak about going against the set rules from when i was doom over 2 years ago. You have completely vanished and not done anything to help any of your battalions in your regiment. It has taken the help of a director and founder to help the battalions in your regiment.

  43. -1 Now there are a number of reasons why I have decided to not support you for Marshal Commander at this time. Progression comes not only over time, but work put into the position you hold below the next step up. You have been SOBDE Regimental for a little over a month now and to put it bluntly you have legit done little to nothing. Communication - The communication inside of SOBDE is the worst it's ever been and you are huge part of that. Yeah people converse but they mostly just have normal conversations or goof around. There are zero serious conversations or discussions about anything and when things are brought up only a select few actually engage in a conversation. Just recently you failed to communicate with the leaders of your own regiment before up and making a rule that no one was okay with at all and the one time you decided to engage in a chat, it's to defend a rule you created. Balancing Positions - Every time I see you on the server you are prioritizing HA. I don't believe you are balancing Regimental and HA really well as it is and I definitely don't believe you will balance Marshal and HA very well either. Marshal is much more demanding than Regimental, especially compared to SOBDE Regimental. If you do get the position I hope you keep that in mind. People want to see the Marshal Commander actively moving around, not AFK in MHB because he needs to log staff LOAs or conduct a staff interview. Lastly fulfilling the duties of SOBDE Regimental Commander - You've only been in the position for 38 days now, which is the minimum amount of time needed to apply for Marshal Commander. Progression isn't "oh the next position above me is open, time to apply" it's about doing what you set out to do and what is required of you in the position you are in now then finally moving up. It's like prestige in Call of Duty, you hit max level then progress, rinse and repeat. There are so many things that need to be done that haven't happened during your term. Documents are outdated, both discords are a mess, the EOD document is taking way too long and there has been no discussion about it, and more. Overall your time as Regimental has been short-lived and just about nothing productive has been done. There's several other tiny little things that I didn't really feel the need to bring up but I just don't believe you are currently fit for Marshal Commander with your tenure as SOBDE Regimental. Honestly Gadget summed it up pretty well with how you basically have no plans apart from Marshal being in your name. However if you get it, I hope you prove me wrong. Best of luck, nonetheless.
