I don’t think hoping someone dies or just being toxic in general falls under dark humor, and of course were all human here so we will make mistakes, but when mistakes are constantly made over and over again with no care of what the consequences are than at that point something should be done.

Personally I myself have never had any issue with Dennis as a person, and frankly I think he's actually pretty enjoyable to be in a channel hanging out with. Though when you look at it objectively. He does have a bit of a bad track record with popularity and rather poor decisions made while he was in charge. Again, and I can't stress it enough, this wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't a consistent problem throughout his time on the server. If it wasn't so consistent I'd agree that most people only -1 because they feel like joining the hate bandwagon as most of them fail to have opinions of their own. However when you think of Dennis on the server I guarantee you the first thought isn't a pleasant one. If that effect shows in the server population after years and multiple commanding opportunities for change, I do not believe that you should be given this chance, as you have proved your mentality has barely improved for the better. All of this isn't to discredit you however, as no one can deny the fact that you've literally saved a couple battalions and implemented changes that would help them in the future. Though being a leader isn't just about showing results in a battalions longevity, it's also about the impact you leave on the minds of others, not just the people you're in charge of. The impact and impression you leave on others playing on the server frankly isn't great, and again, you've had many chances to fix that. Though I no longer play on the server I say all of this from being a firsthand witness to the multiple incidents of drama revolving around you, time and time again, no matter the position you hold. A needless headache after headache. At the end of the day, you show promising results, though at the cost of pointless drama and stress, it's honestly not worth it In my opinion. After all, we're all here for fun no? For that kind of outcome to consistently happen, it's well within reason to give you a -1. If I sounded a bit harsh in this Dennis, know that I for real didn't mean it that way and that I like hanging around with you in TS or whatnot, you're a cool lad. Good luck to you and the rest of your application process and any future endeavors, be it in real life or in game. -1

As Dennis stated, the four people that were put in “charge” of 21st after the wipe had no control as to if the wipe was happening or not. I know we’ve explained our reasoning for the 21st wipe a couple of times, but I don’t mind explaining again for clarification. We (Founders and Management) started seriously looking into the 21st about 60 days before the wipe happened. Directors were brought into the loop around 30 days before said wipe. Dennis, Mitchell, Maddoxx, and Brooklyn were contacted roughly a week in advance. When we started our audit on the 21st we spent a majority of our time reading the forums, contacting players that have made forum posts, contacting anyone with interaction with the 21st, and finally contacting the 21st themselves. Our main discovery was constant in-fighting within the battalion. Because of the battalion’s culture, there was time spent brushing over the issues instead of addressing them. This normally isn’t that serious of an issue, but this had been a continued issue for quite a while. The community overall at this time was looking for a solution, with fingers being pointed towards removal. Most of the battalions we spoke to specifically stated they’d cut ties with the 21st and refuse to interact with them. Personally we did not think this warranted removal so we started asking “What has been done to solve this problem”. Continued investigation showed minor work towards improving the battalions attitude, most of these solutions being duct tape and bubble gum. The solution we decided on finally as everyone is very clearly aware of is a full battalion wipe and restart. We started looking for community members with good track records of repairing problems and “fixing” battalions. Each of the members we chose have proven multiple times that they can restore and fix difficult situations within battalions. A culture change was an absolute must for this to work out. This included revaluations of what it meant to be in 21st. 21st programs, trainings, and guidelines all required a serious comb over and overhaul to ensure past problems wouldn’t arise again. I’d like for this to be a reminder. If you see something broken or damaged, feel free at any time to help each other out. I never want to do another battalion wipe again as it feels like we’re deleting a large portion of history within the community when it happens. Solutions this extreme can be avoided as long as the right people are asking for help and others are pushing forward with resolutions.

@Dennis Appreciate the answer, I understand no long term goal after. Just checking that this is not your door out more or less. This comes down to your ability to balance the CIS and 21st. That's also comes down to strong leadership from not only you, those you appoint. Right now you have Maddox who is CIS Leadership and Specialized (Thanks @Shockpoint) Leadership unless something has changed since Friday since I haven't been on. Assume you maintain both and are active, which for the record you can report him if he was inactive its like its a rule or something, you should be fine in leading them. Personally you have been making progress on your PR and keeping you shitty humor and memes to yourself and close friends but just make sure that stays where it needs to be. Gonna give you a +1 . But at the end of the day, it comes down to the interview if you make it and the Marshal/Regimental actually watching out for you and ensuring you are doing your job. I could be hopefully in the wrong places but whatever. Side tangent, I find it funny that people have a problem with edgy humor but you could look through most of the Synergy discords in the meme sections and back track. Especially in one I shall not name but you know.

Hi there! Adding on to what Jad has posted above, I'll discuss things that happened during and after the wipe. A few things were brought forward as issues here and those that were brought forward through proper channels where addressed at a Director, Management or Founder level. Firstly, battalion history. Being that the 21st battalion has been ran through the same systems from the beginning of the server in 2017 and had continued development on those same systems without much of a change to the standards of the battalion at all and largely due to the fact the battalion was in a position of a landslide decline in the eyes of the community. The Founders & Management team stepped in and told the newly appointed leadership to start from scratch as if it were a new battalion. This included getting rid of traditions that I had created pack when I was Bacara on Icefuse in 2016, such as "Grandma" and the "Code of Conduct" that was on the wall. These were all to be re-evaluated to see if they were able to be refitted to the new model of the battalion to help it progress forwards. This was obviously quite hard to do as a lot of people wanted to hold on to what they previously knew, even though it didn't work out and ended up having the battalion hated by most of the community. The appointed leaders of the battalion tried to build as many bridges with the members of the battalion as they possibly could, including having one-on-one and group discussions with all members of the battalion that wanted to discuss the situation and listened to every single person that they could and attempted to address as many concerns as possible whilst trying to drown out the constant pestering from people that were complaining without working forward to help the solution. Another issue that was brought up during/post wipe was the slowed progression of members of the battalion, and this was completely intentional. The idea was that everyone (bar the 4 members appointed) were to start at the rank of Private, no matter their previous rank or positions, this included myself & Dragon, and any transfers into the battalion would also start at Private. This was done as we have all seen in the past where people will join a unit just to get the quick promotions and then move on and take their newly acquired rank with them and we wanted to focus on keeping people that were interested in progressing forwards. On a final note, we left all of the members of the leadership at the same rank and let them work together to form a lot of the decisions that had happened under the guidance of the Marshal Commander FYI or help from the Regimental Commands & Directors. I personally kept an eye on their discord conversations to see their contribution levels and it was all an even field, even after Mitchell left relatively soon after the wipe and new processes implemented, the 3 remaining people would have large discussions about any changes. Heck, it even continued when it was just Dennis & Maddox.

How does a Jedi program reflect myself and my TROOPERS? There being no mundi has nothing to do with this app, since you have no idea what has transpired we recently got a 21st Jedi lead Dargon who has plenty of experience as a jedi master. Yes i don't enjoy working on the Jedi side of things because its not mine to deal with, BCMD's focus on the troopers and Jedi Leads deal with Jedi stuff, all command does is decide rank equivalent. Furthermore you have been on ROA/LOA since the wipe and have said about zero words within the discord and haven't been in TS. So your "inside" view is flawed and spreading false information. Alright so once again you have missed the point i have now stated at least 4 times I HAD NOT CONTROL OVER THE 21st WIPE, i was asked to join with THREE Others. So this wasn't a "Power grab" Mitchell left, Brooklyn left, Maddoxx left and became spec reg. I am the last one left working with a slate of new officers and people from the old battalion a new members. We were told that just about every document and system needed to be re looked at and evaluated. Yes we re did officer / NCO docs and made it a million times simpler. However we kept the same values of GMACT 1/2 the same, re worked SO and how its done entirely to make it fun and unique that the server has never seen. Secondly Your blacklist wasn't cuz you "spoke your mind" this was your blacklist reason your words and toxic actions got you blacklisted. Not you speaking up, once again false information. If you'd like verification on things that happened from before or during the process of the wipe and for the first few weeks after, @Jad & @Forseen can verify what I said

-1 you are super toxic and you abuse your power. and even after you were given criticism on your marshal app, your spec reg app and the commander report you didn't even try to change. I can speak for myself and a lot of other people when I say that we are done with your bullshit. if you took criticism and changed I would be willing to hear you out but every time you apply for something you deny any responsibility for your fuckups. it would have literally taken you 5 minutes to find out what problems people have and then try to fix them but you decided to stay the exact same.

+1 I have a lot of trust and faith you can promote positive change within the battalion and move forward

My availability is always 24/7 on discord, currently due to staffing issues at my work i don't have a set in stone schedule but i open 2 days 1-3 mids/closes. This gets me off work any where from 4 PM CST to later at night around 10:30. However, i have been assured by my managers that this should only be for a short while then either an open, mid, or close week. So pretty consistent times for me to be on. My term during rancor i would say i attempted about 1-3 hours almost each day, but overall a lot more consistent timing for me to be on. Like i have always said, i evaluate everyone on the same scale no matter what rank they are. If they are active, positive mindset, get along well with others, and do good work to help the battalion, i hold no bias against anyone on the server even though it seems many hold a bias against myself. I have simply come to the fact that this is a 17 year old game i'm about to be 21 years old and generally im playing with kids younger than me and sometimes they may not get the larger picture but that isn't their fault. It's on myself and others to help show them the larger goal that we are aiming for to help the battalion, i can't control people's actions, words, or how they act i can only try and help make them a better person on and off the server. While it would be easy for me to say, i have changed for the better and listed improvements A-Z i believe it's best if you ask current members of the battalion who are active and interact with me on a almost daily basis. They have the best view of how i have grown to someone who despised the 21st and didn't want to interact with them to helping fix the battalion. All i know is that i'm here to help the battalion simply put. People who interact with me maybe for five seconds on the server when in character i may be rude they rarely interact with me on a one on one basis in a more relaxed and casual setting. These are the people who have been fed false information by others who hold a grudge against me for something i did to them on the server and i have in somehow wronged them(which they never spoke to me about). As i have stated in my previous message, i have simply come to terms that i can only change the minds of people who are open to really seeing who i actually am as a person. I have always been open to talking to anyone on the server and having a civil discussion with anyone so DM on TS or discord and lets chat.

+1 good luck

I have seen cloud time and time again devoting himself to helping the 41st out. I think he would be good for multiple reasons. One being that he listens to what people have to say. Especially his officers. He knows how to handle situations. He is mature and willing to help rebuild the foundation that has cracked and eroded away within these past few months. Cloud knows how to run a battalion. He had one silly mistake that got him removed, but everyone thought that was pointless to begin with. Even after they changed the rule on that with RCMD. Anyways cloud is a good friend and will always have my support no matter what he runs for. +1 good luck gamer

7/10 He letta me do the hacky hacky, not a lot of GMs letta me do the hacky hacky and it's very fun

+1 good luck

Honestly and I'm not trying to shut anyone down on this. It would cause a bit of lag due to the networking it would include so just bare that in mind. Another note is that I genuinely think people would not use it at all after 2-3 weeks.

7/10, kinda rough for jedi as the enemy were using flamethrower, also rough for clones as the enemy were using nt242c sniper, still enjoyable tho lmao.

I give a 8/10 I loved it. Only suggestion is maybe try to have their spawn a little wider. Since we would kill some and then they would spawn right where we killed them. Best thing is try to have their spawns in areas we cant see that well like behind the trees so it feels more like an attack and so we dont see people spawn right in front of us. Otherwise it was good.

7.5/10 loved the action and had fun fighting Maul. Hope there's another one like this :)

EASIEST +1 OF MY LIFE.

I aint givin a plus one until i can force absorb battle. +1

Bro, people need to stop using the reason HC chose him. This argument is so pepega. Yall acting like HC has never made a mistake or a bad choice and will blindly trust them. Not that this is one of those times but people will go from calling HC braindead to +1ing this because HC chose him. Also the "dont bring up the past" wtf??? What else am I supposed to judge him off of? If we should ignore Dennis's past lets unban Regional, Cannon and Rohan, those bans happened longer ago then Dennis's most recent drama out of the catalogue we could probably make at this point. "The Past" shouldn't be used in the context of 2-3 months ago.

+1 GoodLuck

I've been holding off on voting on this for a bit now cause I was a bit conflicted tbh. Your attitude and behavior has been a constant problem for years now. Some people on this app are poking at those who -1 saying they're stuck in the past but quite frankly it's a consistent problem. It wasn't a one time mistake on your part. Your poor attitude has been an issue on a multitude of occasions throughout the course of almost two years. It's a reoccurring issue to the point where it makes complete sense to -1 for that reason. As for my vote it's gonna be a -1 I personally agree with the worries about your attitude and I also believe you shouldn't split yourself between CIS and 21st in both of their current states. CIS is struggling and 21st is still kinda barely on their feet. I feel they both require a leader that can put their full attention towards each group and not be split between the two groups. Good luck, nonetheless.

+1 i really thought this was a meme for a second

Honestly I don't think that is the issue with Palpie at all in RP. The issue is similar to what happens to Yoda in RP. Its that the characters are treated so differently by the community at large in RP . in a poor way as people for some unknown reason seem to act more silly or mingey to those roles. You might be able to throw Anakin in with those two because you can do the RP as the character perfectly but if just your presence make people freak out and act silly around the character whether its memes calling the character silly names ect. it can become unpleasant to actually go onto those roles because of how people act I'm sure past Palpatine's Yoda's and even Anakin's can highly attest to that.

+1 i though you were joking when you were talking about it

+1

+1 what the fuck did Arma not go good for you

+1

+1 cloud is a great gamer, able to communicate with people.

Never heard of you but sure I'll +1

Literally everyone looking as to why this isn't in off topic. Anyways, you told me that you were gonna get waived for Palpy and honestly, I was shocked. I was already told that you were planning to leave CF 99 after Marvel's term as Hunter and this was completely out of left field when you poked me after the Command Meeting. +1, Tino is great for the job, despite his previous bans and such, it's a blessing to work with him in SO BDE and i'm glad he came back to the server as well. Go get 'em!

+1 For various reasons i love and hate this<3

+1

+1 i thought this was a meme but its nice that its not. You cool. Love you. Good luck

+1

+1 Great RPer, seems to have his head on straight. Good luck!

Holy shit what a mad lad +1 Have fun sitting in command meetings

Get the fuck outta here +1 I wanna hear your Palpy voice!

+1 When my battalion had no battalion commander, and I was asked to return to Synergy to assist it- It was Tino who helped me as a 2ndLt deal with most of the idiotic captains I had at that time as I ran for BCMD. Without him and Omalic that battalion would not of had the initial ability for one, myself to go in and apply for BCMD, but obtain vast members and bypass rank issues due to my low rank. As a friend Tino has helped me quite a bit with battalions and got me to where I could sit 187th down properly. No doubt he can succeed. Enjoy.

+1. This man is a legend. I've not even had many interactions to know he means what he says. So what if he got on the server drunk or speaks a certain way, if you're a part of the UK culture you wouldn't be so butthurt about it. I believe that Tino will bring some fucking good things to the server if he gets this position. Fair fucking play for this surprising app.

Wow. Did not see this coming. +1

^ This -1

I mean you didn't really add anything. You just said "I will make it good". Still no plans, how are we supposed to even begin to trust you if you can't give a single plan or idea just "I'm gonna do this good thing" I meant that you kept a tough grip on DU for a while & used to it get XO and exert control over Owen & Maddoxx, pretty much holding onto power refusing to like DU move away from you. Fred & Slak just haven't been under your control so you haven't been able to keep your control, and I doubt you're very happy with that. a bold faced lie. If you didn't do anything than don't claim to have "got it off the ground" or out of a "rough spot" "I have helped many other battalions get off the ground from brand new or rough spots. Such as DU, Base Ops," The report was denied because their rules were incapable of prosecuting you. The fact still stands that you were reported and no on supported you. The community very very evenly supported your removal because we all had strong belief you were incapable as a leader. The ARC program is fine, it's pretty meh but it is what it is. RANCOR does suffer with numbers, like it did before your time, so it seems like you just plopped in a training system and didn't try to fix any of the issues of RANCOR leaving it to fall to where it currently is. How can we expect you to leave 21st on it's feet able to hold up to larger batts like 212th or DU when RANCOR tanked after it stopped being so easy to get ranks in. You can't really claim your commanders all worked well together when the whole battalion below that felt you were uncapable as continuing as their BCMD. That's just not how it works. Also my removal is irrelevant. I guess it makes it easier to dismiss valid criticism by making the accuser seem bad. This is exactly what you did on your report and it changed no one's mind. Cemented the idea you are incapable at taking criticism or at listening anyone below you I fundamentally don't think the CIS is a good system so I don't care what happens in it and I don't care to try and fix those systems. However you do and CIS has been here for possibly months still suffering from all the same issues it did when it was introduced. You say you spend a lot of time fixing things but I just don't see anything changing or improving, same old system with the same old issues. The excuse "why don't you fix it" doesn't cut it, I didn't sign up to fix those problems you did. Say you're doing lots of work all you want but I still hear just as many of the same complaints about something you've been running for ages. I'm not gonna send another response but there's a lot of just lying & avoiding the issue in the response. Just like in your commander report: downplaying issues and covering up criticism. I cannot understand how anyone could support you at this point. The fact anyone even gives you the chance after years of proving incapability as a BCMD, RCMD, & BCMD again. I just cannot understand anyone even considering it. You are by far one of the best examples of what a leader should never strive to be.

-1 I have been bullied into saying "others have said what I want to say"
