Before I leave a vote, I have some issues I'd like addressed. Not much longer than a month ago, you resigned from the BCMD of RANCOR after not even a full month as the Battalion Commander. In your resignation, you said that consistent obligation prevented you from having fun in the community. "It has taken a month to realise that I simply wish to have fun in the community and enjoy my time on the server without the consistent obligation to worry." You also said that you want to divide your time differently, instead of having it all focused on your BCMD position. "For me its about dividing my time into things that I enjoy inside in the community, paired with being able to delegate time elsewhere." Why, after a month of having resigned from a different battalion's BCMD due to lack of fun, do you think going right back into a different BCMD spot will be any better? Why do you think the time-commitment, or obligatory aspects of this position won't bother you this time? Once you realized you had time to put into a battalion enough to become the BCMD again, why didn't you go back to RANCOR in their time of need? Most of all, why should we trust you to have the dedication to this position, a month later, when you didn't even make it a month as RANCOR BCMD?

Hi Lovestruck, I appreciate your concern. At the moment for me, this is something I want do, while of course that can change I believe it unlikely in this case. Compared to numerous other positions they all share similar characteristics, this one feels diverse and suits my overall style. To begin with as stated, I'm having fun and have some serious passion, fresh passion, for this battalion. Furthermore, the position is diverse in nature compared to various other positions, both with overall battalion workings and the people inside of the battalion. I'm having fun inside of the battalion, because I enjoy the battalion, this was not the case for Rancor where I attempted to trudge my way through which affected my overall ambition and enjoyment inside of the community. The overall objectives of a Battalion Commander were fun and exciting, the battalion was not. And I would argue, while a short month I provided significant turn around even when I was not enjoying the position. This would not be the case, as I'm enjoying the battalion and the people. Time-commitment is a fluid topic, as anything can change. I know that my three months will be rather free, compared to university, however with an exceptional team and a goal already set as a Commander and potential Battalion Commander, I aim to solidify this to ensure that I am able to meet me by quota and potentially beyond that, paired with delegating tasks and working along-side a Command Team which are as ambitious as I am. When it comes to my schedule, I have balanced it correctly where I will be able to delegate my time wisely, so it fits into my schedule perfectly, while being able to maintain my commit inside of the Order as well. Because I'm not obligated to do go back to be frank, if I resigned because I was not having fun inside of the battalion, because of the battalion itself, why should I force myself to endure and sacrifice my fun and time which would in-turn force me away from the community. Would you stay in a position if it genuinely was affecting your ability to get onto the server, interact with the community and overall provide you with enjoyment. In this case, I have yet to experience this and paired with the fact I am in a position that grants me this enjoyment, because I have loved Delta Squad and the Republic Commandos since I was twelve, now I'm twenty-two and have yet to cease to be uninterested in them. For me RCs is like the saying of "All Roads lead to Rome" no matter what, I find myself back here. Paired with the fact, on previous communities I have always ended up in Delta and clogging the position for potentially a year. Finally, you do not have to trust me, I can provide you comfort to change your mind however that is completely up to you. In this case, I have significant enjoyment in the position of Boss and will continue to do so and ensure the activity of my Squad, paired with the potential additional responsibilities of being the figure head of the battalion. However, I plan to act as a council with the other members of Command, where we make uniformed decisions about Grey RC and the other Squads as a collective, furthermore. This position, does have less responsibilities, for example the Alpha Designation Program, the ARC Program which mitigates the chance of burnout. I could say "I will be good this time, I promise" but I won't. I'll put it simple. I enjoy my time in the battalion, I have ambition along-side the others in the Command Team to develop and elevate this battalion and if I don't get it I'll continue to do so as a Commander.

+1 Xaze actually paid him 500K to post this btw would like to say that

I'm leaning towards a +1 on this app, but I got a question You had a lot of plans and ideas that you were going to do with Rancor, and also stated you were gonna stick it out because you wanted to flush these plans out but you left just randomly. Is this something you think will be an issue for you again as SOBDE BCMD? I know your main reason was you just weren't having fun but I'd hate for another battalion to suffer just when the leader leaves without a proper structure set up for it to follow

Yes, yes, I just left so my opinion isn't valid but this one is kinda sticking out at me. Why did you leave Rancor knowing the situation it was in?

+1 I like void and I think he is a good leader :)

This was an accident. Me and xaze were cleaning up suggestions and I asked if the datapad was on the jobs, someone in the channel said yes, then said no right after I moved it, so I had to remove it. Just a little slip up on my end Other then that, Jad's got it summed up

We had to move over to a more secure system to protect our content. FastDL is great for the normal player for connecting without worry as well. If we left our packs the way they were, models, the new map, and other content we use would've easily been able to be grabbed. Also, this prevents us from receiving false DMCA takedowns, this has become more of an issue this last two years and now it can be prevented. Onderon will never be available for download for use by others unfortunately. But, something I've been thinking of is making a large list of prop related add-ons that builders can use so at the very least they'd know what props are available on the server.

Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:62093210 RP Name: Yoda Battalion: Jedi Who is in command until you return?: Clutch Length of Absence: 7 days Additional Info: Ok, So I am going to explain myself here. I have taken some LOAs recently here.... However every LOA and ROA ive taken I was still focused on the server. Even during my grandma's funeral. I am getting so stressed and frustrated lately that I need a break. I have asked Jayarr to remove my access to see the master + chats in the discord and such so I can force myself to take an actual LOA for the first time since literally february. I hope you all understand but I am 100% going to avoid the server come back refreshed and be ready to push forward with jedi!

I'm going to hesitantly +1. While I have no doubts you'll be a good leader it's just I am concerned that the same thing that happened with you in Rancor is going to make it's way to SOBDE.

+1 he has been a solid leader in SO BDE from the outside view, as well as if his own lads in RC trust him to be BCMD than I do

+1 Think this guy is more then capable for this postion.

I never contradicted myself, from what I'm reading. I referenced in there the reason I was not having fun was because I did not enjoy Rancor as a battalion, as I mentioned earlier I enjoy the responsibilities of a BCMD, I didn't enjoy the battalion. If I didn't want the position I wouldn't apply. Nothing stopped me doing this in Rancor, Ollie handled the Alpha Program, Marr handled the ARC Trainings ensuring they were scheduled, Lynoxais provided advice and guidance due to previous experience and a community mindset. The difference, delegation is different here. Because Squad Lead handles their squads, which would still be a responsibility of mine as I would be Boss. That is the reason I brought it forward. And of course, when it comes to the overall creation of new trainings, which is and will be assigned to specific officers and members of Command, including myself, to create and ensure they are developed to the best standard. To extend, via an edit, as referenced earlier I detail that there are less responsibilities compared to Rancor, which mitigates burnout as I do not have to constantly worry about the ARC Program, the ARC Leads, ARC standards, the Alpha ARC designations. Because even when delegated, as a Battalion Commander you are expected as it should be obvious, to still worry about those aspects even when delegated. If I was not clear my bad.

+1 I think Void is capable, from his time in the Senate he always struck me as someone who could get shit done. Leaving the Rancor BCMD spot sucks, but if he can stick with SOBDE which is very very different, he will be a good fit.

@VoidWhich of the 4 CMD positions will you choose to be as BCMD?

5/5/5 10/10 would do again.

5/5/5 Seemed good from when I jumped into it, tech rp is always a +1 from me. Main character, can't die obv. Yes. Good dupe, good opportunity for rp (even if it was ignored for a bit) No lag. Very nice.

+1 please finish this time

I ain’t reading that +1

Get better homie

Logged from the Command side.

Bruh everything takes priority over synergy its a game. Get yourself some white blood cells and get better soon!

Once a suggestion has been accepted by our team it moves into the accepted category for pending review. Next it moves into the review process once we're looking into ways to properly add or develop the suggestion (More like a brainstorming and planning phase). After plans have been laid out we move into development. Once we have something fully prepared and developed its moved into preparation while being QA'd waiting for implementation. Implementation is just our way of archiving suggestions that have fully made it into the server in one way or another. Sometimes some steps are skipped during certain suggestion because it ends up being apart of something we've already been working on. In the case of the screenshot above, I'm going to assume the preparation auto lock and complete function didn't work which required it to be accepted again. Also! Datapads are a pain in the ass, the guy who originally made the add-on removed it from the workshop so we're going to have to go through our old packs manually and try to find them again.

-1 Cope. The ability to have what is essentially a rocket launcher on every character is enough to make it OP. I dont see why we should be giving more to the ~2 ppl who even have this anyway. I don't understand why there isn't more cosmetic / utility things exclusively on the store.

maybe don't waste 5k on an immaginary star wars gun? you bought it knowing it behaved like this, no? your choice was your choice of the community doesn't want an insanely, like actually unbelievably, OP weapon to be buffed even more. That's how it's gonna go, you wasting your own money isn't a reason we should care

They're gonna stay on a server with 10 active people and 20 AFK people over a server with 10 active and no AFK.

This is the top 1% asking for stimmies and a tax break. It's a 1 shot on literally everything, I don't want you needing 1 respawn to get 10 shots from that monster -1

Thing is I feel like I spent a lot of my "good ol' days" stressing out over stuff that didn't matter nearly as much as I thought it did. If I could go back I'd probably be putting things under a wider lens and try to understand why people did what they did back in the day. The good ol' days weren't even that good a decent amount of time, but the feeling of wanting to get on and chill out with people who just wanna have fun is something I only had a very short experience doing before being put in a position where I had basically no choice but to absorb all the drama. Trying to be better about it these days but I still slip every now and then, be it my fault or someone else's. But the community has changed me for the better considering where I was before I first connected to Synergy. Chiefly, it's put me in a position in life where I feel like I can enjoy things (in this case SW RP) and not care what others have to say about it. Liking something without feeling sorry for doing so is something I desperately needed at the time.

@Voidquick question will I be let back in the SOBDE discord after my unjust kick if you get Gregor?

+1! Make this the term you finish!

+1 only if you ask me nicely

You are constantly contradicting yourself in your response. You want the position, but you don't want the position due to responsibilities because it affects your fun. Which one is it? Furthermore, What was stopping you from this doing this in Rancor:
