Changing to a -1. Points brought up by both Dennis and Tino I can't turn a blind eye to them I agree with everything said by both Tino and Dennis. And from my time with SOBDE Being Boss and Sev. I can say that the statements made about your squad Roleplaying with others ON A ROLEPLAY SERVER. Now that I'm an outsider and the interactions in Roleplay between the Alphas and the Null have been lackluster. Multiple members (not going to name, names) just running away from an active RP scenario. Now to touch upon what Tino said about the sign ins. During my time as Boss and Sev when you were Kal, Numerous Squad members some of which are still in Null have been doing this. And the fact that you haven't done anything about them beside maybe giving them a warning, Under a Fuck up and Get Removed policy. Normally if you were caught faking sign ins you would be removed no? Correct me if I'm wrong please. Next. The only times that I have seen Null on were when they were hosting Tryouts, Last time I checked but this was a Roleplay server not a Tryout Server. And once you have completed the rounds for the day, Your squad doesn't do any form of RP they go to the nearest corner and stare at it for quite a while or they go to Bunks and stand there for a while. Not doing any RP. This too ^ You should be able to trust your XO especially when they're hosting tryouts, I can understand maybe the first tryout that they host as XO I can understand spectating him but after that you should trust him. When Chew was my XO I trusted him to host Tryouts along with Young, I spectated both of their first tryouts after that, I trusted them. And I would trust your Current XO (Eclipse) considering his past as Bad Batch XO and all. And I Completely agree with Tino when he says that Null feels isolated more than ever. You said it yourself that you have a suitable replacement right now, I say let them have a go at getting Kal instead of you running for it again. Thats what I have to say on this matter now that more comments are in.

Jedi Council Agenda (1/30/2021) Tabled Items New Consular Title doc to be voted and discussed about. https://docs.google.com/document/d/13-ebvISC6uEhlYHWkX-10PT1TVfew_hVH0jHu0LFLBE/edit?usp=sharing -Lie Action Items (to be voted on) (Knight Suggestions) +Stop voting on meetings that hardly anyone shows up to. In fact, stop doing it entirely. Utilize the #council-votes channel. Voting during meetings that certain masters *cough, cough* Fenrir *cough, cough* can’t show up to is basically denying them their right to an opinion. These days, all the channel is used for is Master interviews and things that we suck at deciding on. Bring it up at the meeting, post it in the channel, and have all the present masters vote on it and then give it 24 hours or so before it’s accepted or denied. - Vaklu (Might already be in place, if not, double checking) ACCEPTED Implement some sort of decay for people who just do trials. I’m not 100% on how many merits they get or even if they don’t get anything, but when they want to get promoted to Master or even a higher Knight Rank, they should be doing more. Promoting someone purely out of trials will be promoting someone who lacks the necessary traits of a leader. Sure you need direction to properly host them, but it still misses a lot of the abstract fundamentals that’s required to lead something as large as Jedi. If it turns out I’m wrong in my assessment of how this works, move to my next suggestion. - Vaklu TABLED Put a cooldown on manager of the week. It’s great that people can repeatedly get it, but it’s basically echoing the same issue as the trial grind. What I would do is what they had to start doing on Roleplayer of the Week. Essentially the Knight can get it two weeks in a row, but afterwards it has to be someone else. The person who’s getting it could just be hosting at times where he knows that no one is going to his trials and can do back-to-back spamming of it until he’s grinded up to 10-20 trials in 30 minute increments. - Vaklu TABLED Have the Branch Leads schedule their weekly trials with their managers. Some branches already do this to my knowledge, but it should be more widespread as it literally would prepare them for Master and the responsibilities of their trials. It would also discourage the spamming that I’ve been going on a tirade about. If the previous suggestion gets passed, the “Manager of the Week” title would go to the people that are actually taking up responsibility on the regular and helping their fellow managers/branch members. The Branch Lead would be forced to pick someone who’s the *best* rather than someone who did the most. Quality over quantity. - Vaklu TABLED Changing Knight Trials 7 Day Cooldown to a Set Day Wipe - Gears TABLED Change the Trial of Spirit in the Knight trial to purely RP - Gears EO ACCEPTED Have Knights making Suggestions actively talk in the Council Meeting - Gears TABLED Nominations Promotion/Demotion/Removal/Knight-Watch/Interviews Named Master Promotions Adi Gallia: - Open Obi Wan Kenobi: - Open Quinlan Vos: - Open Ki-Adi-Mundi: - Open Battalion Jedi Feedback (Optional) Open Floor PTS (Optional) Master promotion changes-Stormzy Trying to promote the Astromech job-Stormzy Global Jedi Meeting (New Items)

-1 reasons below 1. Your activity is at what was barely acceptable when you were MCMD. at 41.5 hours in the past two weeks 2. Yours squads activity has been lacking 3. Your enforcement of the rules has been nothing but horrible. Chasemann has been arrested at least 3 times during your term as Kal and has yet to be removed for whatever reason. 4. Your Squads effort into roleplay and upholding the high standard that is meant to be SOBDE is lacking 5. it seems you are going to apply again for the sake of getting it again, i personally don't think you should go for it again. 6. Your squads culture from what i have experienced and heard from other SOBDE members is very toxic and self centered. Personally i think the only way to fix that is an entire wipe of the squad. You have allowed for a toxic culture to fester and grow promoting breaking of the rules and not removing members who break the overarching rules of SOBDE, because of whatever reason you decide at the time. I believe along with many others who are too scared to voice their opinions due to community not liking them or whatever that allowing you to continue to be Kal will not only harm the squad but SOBDE as a whole.

-1 I'm just going to say it the way I see it, Chief, You're remaining Kal just to hold onto the position. Anyway, In my short time of a whopping 46 days of being back into SO BDE, I barely see any of the current Null with the rare exception of it being your most active, Eclipse and Pancakes. Though, that is the current theme of SO BDE, A lack of presence on the server in the wake of being given new responsibilities. We all know that people don't read applications and it's just a large popularity contest with a lack of care for the actual squads. But let's dissect your application In the whopping 46 days of returning to SO BDE, I barely see any Null on with the exclusion of Ordo (Eclipse) and Prudii (Pancakes) and the occasional sighting of Mereel (Chaseman) (Kinda repeat myself here but it gets my point across). Now, I get that real life comes first, it's just a game. Other than the mandatory sign ins required by SO BDE members every three days with three hours minimum of playtime. I barely see yourself or the other Null's on. Seeing all Null's together, is an inspiring sight. Though it's like a solar eclipse and I believe that the activity policies aren't enforced. In regards to behaviour, it may of improved. Although the quality of Null is hindered with the lack of actual engagement and RP with the community unless it's an event or something that actually includes them. On many occasions, I've seen Null hopping around the map, or sitting in TS playing minecraft, AFK'ing on their jobs and still including that on their sign ins. With such a position rich with lore. They lack the knowledge of their characters, and often have to be reminded of their lore, and wait for opportunities to come to them, not go out and find them. When ever I've been to Null Tryouts, Helped in them or just been associated with them in general. My opinion on them is very high, because it's the path a member has to take into becoming a SO BDE member. There's always a boast that it "Took 80 something rounds to fill a position" which isn't good at all. I can't say much, As I'll technically be leaking tryouts. Though the current Null tryouts feels like a battalion tryout with a one strike system, that employs tedious tasks instead of actually testing said tryoutee with their knowledge of the character and their ability to RP or bring fresh new RP to the table. It's a very long, tedious process all together. Adding on, for the current Ordo to host tryouts, it often requires your permission to host, and requires a Null member to own the dupe. Especially when other active SO BDE squad members are on to help with said tryout which leads me to my next point. There seems to be a large factor of yourself not trusting the members of your squad with responsibility or even other SO BDE members at that, it's a dupe. it's not like we're going to see the tryout itself, which all dwells within a document. Especially when your Ordo requires your permission to host tryouts to do something insignificant. On top of that fact that Null feels isolated more than ever. Responsibility is a big thing, and my last paragraph kind of seems to contradict your point (Or it's my brain telling me it does to make me feel better). It seems that there is a total lack of trust for your fellow Squad mates, and which directs me to the earlier point of just holding onto the position for the sake of it when you've openly said you've got suitable replacements. In conclusion, you've been Kal for six months with a little difference to the squad, and if you get another term that's nine (Quick math tings). Which is enough time to get the squad to be active, understanding of their situation and bring about a stop to the tiny tedious things and big things I've mentioned. Personally, I think you've been Kal for too long, and if these problems haven't been looked upon in a six month timeframe, it's going to be overlooked going on Nine. Anyway, Wish you the best of luck mate. Good luck in the application process.

A fun event, I enjoyed the RP aspect and the simplicity of it. Very much Jedi focused thou. 8/10

Tin brought up an interesting point. Having the same leader for an extended period of time will inevitably cause stagnation within the squad. Do you think you're doing enough to combat that stagnation, and keep the squad fun and engaging for both the members of the squad, and the troopers/Jedi interacting with them?

8/10 - had a fun time, gave good practice for me as a starting padawan.

9/10 This Is an fucking Insane event Loved it <3

Good dude +1

9/10 Very linear but still very fun. Fish and trident droid section was very innovative and enjoyable. I like that we got to use weapons that we otherwise wouldn't and the concept as a whole was very creative and refreshing. No real complaints other than a bit more player choice could've been nice, but I think it was intended to be pretty linear so take that as you will.

10/10 it was an amazing event it was well worth the wait. It was nice being a different trooper and seeing the cut scenes was great. The story line was amazing and the variety of RP was great. Especially with the keypad

+1 Thats a lotta hours in Gmod could come in real handy

Omalic was on LOA for the entirety of last week. That 41 hours is just this week.

+1 almost -1'd because he promoted an XO

We have had several members of Null not meeting our requirements of activity and those members have not remained in the squad as such. In such our policies were enforced, we have the same standards as the rest of SO BDE when it comes to activity and in the past when we've had people signing in while being afk they've reprimanded for doing so. If you've seen this yourself when I haven't been on perhaps you should have told me or Ordo about it so we that we can do something about it, we can't see everything. Most members add information on their sign ins if they've been away or doing something else instead of doing several sign in, I myself do so. When it comes to behavior during the start of my time as Kal we had to remove people for what they were doing and had to change rules and enforce new rules so that would change, you weren't around during this so I can understand it being hard to see a difference, in my opinion the number of removals mirrored this change which is why I brought it up. It has been clear that we have a difference on opinion on tryouts. The one interaction we've had about the tryouts were you complaining and not being happy with the changes that have been made. If you have helped with out tryouts after the changes we made you might have a different view yet I myself at least have not seen you around those. We test all possible RP in our tryouts and especially the parts that relate to the Null position they are trying to get into. You know this if you've been helped over the entire tryout. My experience with you and the tryout was that you didn't like what we were doing and just called it dumb. Criticism is always needed and If you were to provide actual ideas for change we could have had a dialogue about it but at the time yelling and calling our way of doing it dumb was all it amounted to. Now when it comes to trust and passing down responsibility Ordo has been able to host tryouts without me from day one, I however try to have us host together rather then alone as we can better discuss the people and attending. Yet he is not staff and can as such not spawn the dupe. The other members of staff in my Squad being Foxey and Chase have the dupe to be able to place it for him when I cannot. Other SO BDE members also have it just incase. As anyone in charge of an SO BDE squad I wish to keep the dupe secure, and as such keep it with fewer people. I prefer doing most things in unison with Ordo such as decision and such but he can and has made calls on his own when its been needed. Eclipse is Ordo and he wouldn't be Ordo if I didn't trust him with such things. To say that I don't trust him would be a lie. Ideal would be that all Null would be suited for the position of Kal. There will always be several people suited for a role and the members of Null are free to apply for Kal if they wish. I've done a good job as Kal in my opinion, I still love being Kal and my Squad still wants me as Kal. As such I have run again. I made specefic remarks on my last reap that I wanted there to be more options for future Kals which there now is. Just because others also can apply for Kal doesn't mean that I shouldn't. I still believe in my abilities and believe that my terms have gone well and as such I wish to continue doing what I like and am good at. We disagree on many things Tino, if you have any concern, ideas or complains you can bring them to me. You've always been able to do so and will still be able to do so. In the future I hope that you do so if you have problems so we can try and improve Null. Having and outside view is always useful. Take care :)
