Thank you for the support and feedback but my life is taking a twist in the right direction and I need to focus on my career for a little bit more. I’ll still be around on Naval but I understand I cannot hold the activity to be palpatine no longer. I am voiding my application

Steam Name: Conrad RP Name: Conrad | Darman | Mace Windu RP Rank: Executive Officer | Master of the Order Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:35367428 Experience: I want to do my experience section a little differently. I plan on listing some of the qualities I have acquired, followed by the experiences that I went through in order for me to acquire these qualities. Leadership High Command: Attack and Senior Commander Good leadership qualities are something that has been hard forged for me over countless opportunities I have held on the server. However, I can attribute most of these skills I have today to my time as Regimental and Senior Commander. Being put in charge of so many people so early into my SWRP career was difficult, but I was able to quickly adapt. I started learning not just from the experiences I generated, but also from the other BCMD’s and HC at the time that I worked with. I gained knowledge from people such as Egg, Tyzen, Jackson, Quill, Joah, and Washington, to name just a few. Learning from these people, as well as helping to teach the skills I acquired to new regiments and the BCMD’s under me gave me an understanding of what is needed to be a leader. Delegation BCMD Rex and Director in combination Throughout much of my time on the server, I have always tried to be as hands on as possible. I love interacting with people, talking with them and helping out. However, when I became Rex, I noticed the strain of trying to do everything started to affect me. I was balancing Rex and HA and while I was still able to get all my work done, it did require insane hours spent on the server. When I became a director however it did push me to a point where I didn’t feel like I could still do both the same way. After this I started to learn and implement more delegation to those under me. I started relying on my command structure that I had spent so much time installing in the 501st but didn’t fully utilize due to my hands-on nature. In Staff, I began to rely more on my HA’s to handle things that didn’t need my full attention. It took a bit of practice personally to kind of let go of the reins and trust others, but once I got it down I felt like I had a good control over both positions while I still held them. People Skills BCMD Rex While my ability to discuss and engage with people has always been great, it was during my time as Rex where I really started to understand exactly what it takes to be someone's friend as well as their leader. Balancing being above someone while keeping the relationship to a point where they feel like you’re equals is a very difficult thing to do, but I feel like I have mastered it. While Rex, talking with my CMD’s, my officers, and my NCO’s there is one thing I kept to with my entirety, and that was treating people as people, and not as just my subordinates. Taking my time to teach people, learn about their lives, and show a true genuine interest in them is something I truly enjoy. Adaptability My entire time on the server When I first got regimental I was nervous; I went from having to work with 1 battalion I was very close to, to working with three. While I was familiar with GM and 212th at the time I wasn’t very close to many members. Having to adapt to checking on multiple groups at a time took a lot of adaptability. Having to deal with so many unique groups at a time takes a lot of compartmentalization to ensure you do your best for each of them. This got even worse when I became senior commander and had to deal with 6 battalions at once. Constantly having to adapt to new people and different cultures of battalions is difficult and not something that stopped there. The new responsibilities of positions like High Command, Director, and BCMD forced me to have to be quick to adapt to things and make sure that I am always ready to adapt to any situation as they arise and deal with them accordingly. Managing the Unmanageable Jedi Order I won’t lie, running the order is hard. I’ve probably put more work into my one and a half month as Windu than I put in my entire time as High Command. With so many people being a part of it, and so many things to do inside of it, creating structures was a difficult task in order to ensure that people are properly recognized for their work. Creating the systems to do this is no laughing matter, and reworking this with my Yoda (Ja’baku) was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. Its exciting to implement these large scale changes in the hopes that they can become name stays in the Server for years to come, and this mindset is something I want to keep pushing in this position as well. Viewing those under me outside of standard qualifications. Republic Commando’s This one is the most confusing as is, but that's what this paragraph is for, to explain what I mean. The Republic Commando’s are probably the most different battalion then every other one on the server. They have no IT team, no regiments, just a handful of lore characters. In a battalion without the structure of most of the other battalions, you really get a chance to show who you are not just because you can do a lot of basic tasks like logging promotions, but who you are on the level of what you as a person can bring to your battalion. I feel like this is something that is underrepresented in most of today's battalions with their requirements and merit systems. In SOBDE I learned how to watch people for who they are, not what they can provide you, and in every instance this has been a vast improvement not just on myself playing the game, but in how the structure of RC works. This is a quality I will be able to take to every position I have from now on and improve people great! Why should you become Chancellor?: I’ve been a member of this community for a very long time. It's become a home to me the impact of which you couldn’t believe has had on my life. This community has been here when I was In some tough parts of my life, and some great ones. And with all this community has given to me in the sense of fun, friendship, and entertainment I’ve always loved giving back to it. Through my time as staff and High Command I’ve been able to give a lot back, but I feel like there's nothing greater I could give than spending my time trying to help all facets of the server through the role of Chancellor. My time in leadership roles throughout the server has given me the ability to look at problems from all aspects. I believe this will be very important for my time as Chancellor. I have the ability to look at things that might affect multiple sections of the server from each of their points of view. This skill will allow me to mediate changes or conflicts as they arise and give me the ability to help create a resolution that can make all parties walk away confident in the resolution. My love for Roleplay is as strong now as it was on the day I first joined the server. Years of experience has honed my skills and while I might not be a great vocal actor like some I am still able to fall into my roles and create an authentic feeling environment. I have a strong ability to make roleplay fun and I know when it should be serious. I’m sure many people here are familiar with my Gotal Jedi, I believe this is a perfect example of this. Despite the funny voice, if you listen closely to the words that I say you’ll hear the words of a wise member of the Jedi Order. I believe being able to have fun as well as bring a serious reality to your roleplay is paramount to keeping people entertained both during events, as well as during down time. The more I’ve played this game the more I’ve haunted what I like to call my people first approach. We all must remember that this is a game, and people's lives are always variable and often out of their control. Recognizing that every person is unique with their own stories, troubles, interests, and abilities is something that can kind of be hazed when your only interactions with most people on the server is simply over voice chat and never in person. Being able to realize this when I have conversations anywhere from a simple greeting to more serious conversations about our lives is something I believe I can do with great skill. Do you understand the lore of the Republic Military?: Yes. I have seen all Star wars Visual media that has been released(shows and movies), as well as have played most Star Wars games. Availability: I work Monday-Friday from 5AM-2 PM EST. I got to bed at 11 PM EST. My weekends are free. Additionally I am available all day every day on Discord or TS due to having both on my phone. Give a brief overview of your achievements on the server: Staff Director TRM GM Command Positions A&R Senior CMD (when it was applicable) Attack Regimental Commander BCMD Rex Grand Master of the Order 501st XO/CMD/REGL/MEDL/TCO/ITD/ARC Republic Commando XO/ITD Consular Barsen’Thor ACE Manager Lead Naval Commander Chief Medical Officer Lore Characters Mace Windu Anakin Skywalker Eeth Koth Rex Vaughn Kix Darman Hunter Echo Other MoH Recipient due to dedication to my battalion Pink Crystal Access due to exceptional Roleplay B1 Battle Droid What do you feel the role of the Chancellor is? I believe the role of chancellor has countless jobs, but there are four which are more distinct than the rest. Advisor In my opinion the role of advisor is the biggest responsibility of the chancellor. Despite being the top of the ladder in terms of rank, very rarely should the chancellor be enacting executive orders. His main role instead is to use his knowledge and critical thinking skills to help add to discussions on all topics throughout the server. By providing new viewpoints, as well as helping to delegate between two or more parties in situations involving multiple people, he can help enlighten people and start a road of discussion that will allow the right choice to be taken. By helping to create more throughout, and more thorough decisions we can create protocols that will improve the server for everyone. Community Outreach The role of Palpatine is the pinnacle of the server in terms of establishing a connection between players playing the game and the rest of the community. Being able to talk to players of all calibers, from PVT to BCMD and any and all equivalents in the Navy, Jedi Order, and Bounty Hunters Guild Palpatine should take the steps to be informed on as much as possible from the viewpoint of the players. Being there as an ear to discuss concerns, potential changes, and even positive remarks and relay them to the proper channels and people is critical to the health of the server. This allows for a more efficient and more precise flow of information allowing changes of importance to happen in a more timely manner. Leader On the server, Palpatine is the top of the food chain for every single part of the server, leading the Republic, The Order, and the neutral factions. It stands to reason that he will need the skills to command and control all of these factions at any given time. Being able to delegate tasks and ensure a smooth CoC in order to guarantee that all factions run as smoothly as possible. Being able to lead people through changes that are happening, as well as simply lead his men in roleplay. Roleplayer I’ve heard many times in the past that the Chancellor is “the Director of role play” on the server, and I think this is very true. In Lore he’s a man with his fingers in literally every pie. This gives him the ability to perform roleplay with anyone, doing both Republic sided and CIS sided RP(during events) opens up a lot of possibilities. Being able to do things from secret missions, to public inspections, to handing out bounties, the possibilities of Chancellor RP are one of the most extensive. Due to this the chancellor should be someone others look up to in terms of roleplay generation on the server. Do you have a microphone?: Yes Where do you want the Republic Military to be at the end of your term?: This is a broad topic, as the role of Chancellors oversees not just the Republic military, but the Jedi Order, and Bounty Hunters Guild. As an overseer of all these positions, it is one of the Chancellors priorities to fill all applicable positions with candidates that are up to the task. Now not every person that applies for a position is a seasoned player on the server. Some are players who might not quite have the skills, but have the dedication and willingness to try. Teaching these people and helping them to grow to achieve a function and professional structure on the server is very important. While the goal is lofty as the number of people is many, I wish to try to train as many people to the best of my ability. I wish to entrust them with the skills and tools I’ve acquired over 4 years on Synergy Roleplay and in real life. I hope that they can take these skills to not just improve not just their own section of the server that they have under them, but to replace me when my time as Chancellor comes to an end. How do you plan to change the Republic Military under your command?: Right now, one of the biggest issues I’ve seen with the server is lack of interesting things to do during down time. One of the biggest things I want to do is generate an environment where people are excited to be on the server even when an event isn’t happening. A great way to do this is to push for more roleplay interactions around the server. When I say interactions I do not mean doing /me’s on an engine in a room where no one is. What I do mean is more personal player to player interactions. I will spend my time as chancellor generating these interactions, having conversations with players as often as I can and helping to lead by example what positive role play oriented interaction on the server means. A way to help incentivize this already exists, however it is not utilized nearly enough, in roleplayer of the week. I plan on taking personal care to give this award out every week, even if no one’s names are submitted. By always having a player who’s displaying superior roleplay being rewarded, I believe this will push even more players to follow suit. Secondly, I wish to evolve some of our current systems to teach people how to roleplay better. Now teaching roleplay is difficult, as everyone starts at different places and are comfortable with different things. However, while talking with many people I have devised some ideas on how you could teach roleplay. My idea isn’t new, I’ve talked with many members who have tried something on a small scale, but I want to attempt a wide scale implementation if possible. My idea is to try and replace things like standard tryouts for things like regiments with roleplay focused training. Let me give you an example with the heavy regiment. Right now, Heavy tryouts probably consist of faces, formations, trigger discipline, and maybe some questions about some combat scenarios. I believe replacing this with a training where the Officers and Leaders of the regiment teach how to utilize their kits best, teach them about the Z6’s ramp up and power in close quarters and how heavy can best utilize these skills. And then after you have worked together so the trainee understands their role, test the skills practically with a CQC sim. Don’t make it so much of a pass/fail, but a training. During which the trooper is looking to evolve their skills and better themselves on the field of battle as their position. I’ve talked with people who have implemented similar things, and this is how I ran my medical tryouts during my time as CMO. I saw a huge success, with many people not just joining medical, but increasing the quality of the roleplay performed. Now I wouldn’t force this on any battalion, but would provide my assistance to any battalion that wishes to try this method out. Hopefully with a lot of battalions starting to have success with this method more battalions will follow suit. Furthermore, this could introduce teamwork between the same regiment in different battalions. If they discuss how their training works and compare notes in order to improve their regiment as well as help improve regiments in other battalions this will help produce people that can successfully roleplay as their job on the server! The return of Roleplayer of the Week! A reward that has gone unappreciated and unnoticed for far too long, I hope to revive it to its once former glory. I plan to put out a weekly message asking for people to submit someone’s name, however I plan to take this further to ensure it's fully utilized. I plan to ensure that someone receives the award every week, even if I have to choose the person myself. The plan is, if no one is put up by another player, to through hanging out with battalions during deployments and events create a list of people who I think did well that week, and choose one of them to become the next roleplayer of the week. This decision might potentially be with the help of other high command members. Along with this award I plan to take a page out of Old Pappa Max’s book, and award a $10 store credit each week to the person that receives the award. I feel like the best way to encourage roleplay is to regularly reward roleplay, and while small I know from experience nothing beats the feeling of when your outstanding skill of roleplay is recognized by someone else. Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?: Yes Do you understand that your position has a three month term? Yes TLDR Yes this is long, it might be a lot to digest. But it also isn’t everything I could have added. If you have any questions please PM me and I’ll be more than happy to talk/clarify/discuss anything both on and not on this app. Thanks to those who took the time to read it! FAQ This is for Frequently Asked Questions and my answer to them. Will you prioritize the job of palpatine: Yes I plan on resigning from all my positions and playing only on the job of palpatine.

+1 Every day since the Conrad started playing SWRP, it has been the bane of my existence. The shouting and the not paying attention to me has gotten on my nerves constantly. But even I know that he's well suited for the role of Palps. His roleplay both inside and outside of the bedroom is impeccable and has improved with him earning lore character titles. I think he will be an amazing Palpatine, even though it will be at the detriment of my time with him.

+1 Conrad is one of the best and most impactful people in the community and is more than qualified for the position. He was also a part of the CIS faction even in its infancy, which just further proves his dedication to the server.

+1 literally the most professional, down to earth, good at roleplaying, nice, considerate, understanding, good person to work with on all of Synergy RP, bar Pog.

Too many bitches for GMOD but not enough to give up forum mod????

Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:54192568 RP Name: Guild Leader Rad Thekk Battalion: BH Guild Who is in command until you return?: Baron, Brooklyn Length of Absence: 9/30-10/9

Hello! Resigning from GMOD! I will still be apart of the community and will still be a forum mod and everything. I'll definitely be back on the server Gonna miss you guys! It was a lot of fun the whole time. I miss Null so much. If it didn't get removed I'd still be kicking it so hard as Null. Bye!

Happy September 30th homies! @Nade Jones@Rogue This is a reference to

That’s funny I have had two people today tell me I might be too goofy for the role. but I do understand what your saying, and I havnt been secretive about it in the past so I will reiterate quick. I know what part of my life you’re talking about, and that stemmed from a very depressed state I was going through from a mix of poor financial, and college choices as well as covid depression. I have since gotten help through medication and a therapist which has vastly improved my mental health as well as my life turning around to being graduated with a stable high paying job. I can say for sure I am better mentally now then I was this time last year by such an astronomical amount it isn’t even funny.

I read the application and sat there trying to imagine what it would be like having conrad as the next palpatine. Honestly, i kinda cringed. I dont doubt you could fit the role and i know you take things very seriously...which can also be a downer depending on the situation. Known you a while, seen how you work and react. For the **Most** part you react pretty well. My worry for you is that youll take it too seriously and itll negatively impact you life and a situation will rise again. Maybe the worry is baseless and unfounded to the opinions of others but its still there regardless. So long as you chill and don't provide "TOO" much oversight and let the flow go a little you should be fine. TLDR: dont be 100% serious all the time. and dont let it affect your life in a big way. +1. Note: I never knew you were grandmaster?

+1!

+1 I have full faith that you can do great as Palpatine.

+1 love the drawings

+1 if you remove umbara and not endor, but also it feels bad because of all the new assets that got made for the planets I do agree with sacrificing a planet for more anaxes space though

+1 I would have left the server within a few weeks of joining if Conrad hadn't let me in 501st Jedi after I miserably failed my tryout. I really hope you don't burn yourself out again. I know you can do this but have some fun!!!

Wow you do be speeding through lore characters ;) Bro was a much more behind the scenes Palpatine than previous have been. Since your first (and I'm guessing larger) goal is to improve the server environment through roleplay, will you be doing anything different outside of roleplay that we'll need to know about/work around? Edit: Talked with Conrad, question was answered. +1, good luck!

+1 Logically the best choice for the role and overall a prime candidate.

+1 hugely supportive for everyone in the community A bit bare bones on color though (JK)

ez +1

+1

So, looking at your application, it is very barebones and I see the general vague stuff that others have put on their applications. I'm going to be honest here, I think you understand the role and I think you could fit the role. However, with the current state of the server I'd like to know what direction you want to take when it comes to fixing the issues in various battalions and or groups or if you even have plans or notice the issues in the first place. I'm not gonna vote as of now, gonna wait for your response first

+1

When I first joined the server Conrad was one of the first people I interacted with. That and every other interaction I've ever had with this man has been positive, this one is an easy +1 for me.

+1 Had a great talk with him and what he wants to do is what we need in a Palpy I have full faith he will be very good. Good Luck and I'm rooting for you - Battalion Commander Fox

+1

+1, I've talked to you in private and sat in a bit during your waive process, I think we'll work well together if you do get the position. Best of luck my man.

Beyond competent and beyond a doubt the best choice for Palpatine. Experience and dedication speaks for itself. Goodluck. +1

cry about it

Just a quick update. Kirito will be talked to for teleporting people to their bunks. Any questions involving that situation direct my way. Was half asleep when watched those videos. Apologies for missing out on that.

I just used this one.

+1 Looks so awesome Dennis!

me and my girlfriend browse the fourms together and both decide if we will +1 or -1 applications

+1. You have been putting your Naval position above everything else. You have dedicated time, effort, and care to the navy that it has sorely needed. You've been improving the roleplay experiences of everyone involved simply just by getting people active and putting up roleplay minded people. I have PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED the effects of your time in Naval. Both as a clone CMD and as a BH, my experiences with Naval have gone form unmemorable to the highlights of my sessions more than once. As someone who is privy to just how hard you have been working, I can safely say that you can be entrusted with this position. It is my pleasure to be your Superior officer as a clone. Your work as Sentinel Lead, on the day to day trial grind, filling out your managers with competent candidates, I could go on and on about the good you have done for the server. Any unbiased observer who has paid attention to your time on Synergy will be able to whole heartedly endorse you as I have.
