Well, Every good thing has to come to an end. I just think that my time on the server has come to its end. I've been burnt out for a while now, and I dont want to keep on holding the positions I have while someone working as hard as I did not being able to get it. I will say though that this run that I had on Synergy has probably been the best run I have had probably since I joined in 2017. Wow, Almost 6 years on the server, and this run I had since early February has been my best one yet. I just want to say that I put a lot of effort and time into rebuilding and bettering my reputation this time, and hopefully I did. I think I had a big impact on many people, and hopefully changed some peoples opinions about me thus far. This has been one of the best server's I have played on, with a vibrant community that I believe will continue to flourish for a while. One of the things I wanted to accomplish for a while was to achieve legend in the community, but I think I came up short, but idk. I just want to thank a lot of people that helped me while I was here, and to thank the friends I have made along the way. @Zeros You made a big change for the better, and I can say I can see you going far here. But dont forget about school. Finish out strong and I can see you going far @gohn 1st favorite Swedish person. You have been a great friend to me, and hopefully we can stay in touch. Keep up the work as HA, I can see you becoming director in the future @Rohan Probably one of my best friends on the server. So glad I got you unbanned LMAO. But in all seriousness amazing person, and can see going to Director as well. Luv you BB Ill keep playing 8ball with you @Brooklyn Probably the best Blitz I saw in Synergy, not dickriding, you were able to turn Rancor into a powerhouse, and has started to turn Naval around. You gave me a hard time, but was for a good reason, and I wanted to thank you for that. Love you bud @Slak @Edgar @Kortnul @Xiao @Sina @Misfit @Zigmund @Madara and All of SOBDE You guys are an amazing group of people. Loved hanging out with you guys, and Hope yall can let me join still and hang around, as well as keep in touch @Rizzo Sorry to leave you in this spot, but I believe you can do a good job, and if you need any help you know how to reach me. You are a good friend to me, hate to lose you @Ollie_ I hate you. Go Fuck yourself <3. Love our chats we have had, and hopefully can continue to be good friends. Keep up the work as Director @Marvel I know we haven't had the best relationship, but I think its gotten better. You do amazing as Director, and maybe one day you can go further up the chain. Keep it up, and Ill lyk when Season 2 of Halo Series comes out @jacobfyfe Hope this is the right Jake. You have been in my corner and always believed in me. you do really well in Null, and know SOBDE will be in good hands with you apart of the leadership team. To the VA's Loved working with you guys, and hoped I did good with you all. @Clutchhhx I made you. Good friend, and hope we can stay in touch. Maybe go to another concert together ()_() @Xaze You have done so much for the community, and continue to push it in a right direction. Keep it up. Hopefully we can keep in touch @Boof Real Homie Fr. Iceman you were an amazing BCMD to work under, Hopefully we can continue to hangout There are a lot of other people that I could @ here, but I dont wanna ping everyone, but to the people that I have talked to, and made friends with. So glad to have talked and hanged out with everyone I wont disappear. I'll still keep in touch with everyone, but I am starting probably the hardest semester I have had at college and need to focus up, and look toward getting an internship. I love y'all and I might comeback later on, but probably not. Love y'all. Pythin out

RP Name: Shade Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:123208738 VIP (Y/N): Y Age:19 Timezone: CST Tell us why you want to be an administrator (6 sentence minimum): Ever sense I had gotten GM I had slowly been learning what I need to do. At one point I was the only “staff” member on while there was 6+ minges running around. I have been slowly taking whatever I need to do to keep the server going while I would be the only one active during the late nights. I just want to be actual staff if I’m doing actual staff work. I have been told over and over to actually apply with this, and have decided to actually do it now. I think that I might be a good fit with helping out around the server wherever I can. Tell us a little about yourself (3 sentence minimum): I am pretty hardworking if I enjoy what I’m doing, and luckily enough I seem to enjoy playing on synergy. I like helping out where I can, doing as much as I can to help. I like to to think I’m pretty friendly, and have made friends with most people I come across in the server. Do you have any previous staff experience? If yes, please elaborate on what you have accomplished: GM, used powers granted to me to help keep server stable and under control when nobody else is around How many hours of in game time do you currently have on our Clone Wars server?: ~2070

Steam Name SpongeBob SquarePants | Synr.gg RP Name 501st MAJ Jesse RP Rank Major Steam ID STEAM_0:1:155676106 | 76561198271617941 Battalion you are applying for 501st Legion Experience DU CMD REGL Gambit HA, GMM, TRO, Server ITM 327th JTO CPT Obama DU XO Locke TCC XO Kano SGM Trauma Null-12 SGT A’den 501st MAJ Jesse (Current) Guild Leader (Current) Head Admin | GMM (Current) Why should you become a Battalion Commander? Knowledge of the battalion I have been within the 501st a few times, majority of those times reaching higher ranks within it. With this I do have the knowledge of a lot of things that worked and didn’t work, as well as current and past cultures regarding the battalion’s way of operation. There is, in the plan section, a lot that I would bring back and some I would never bring back due to me having said knowledge of the battalion at those times. Unlike previous time where I applied, I have joined the battalion and worked my way from SGM to MAJ as of now learning the systems and integrated myself Dedication & Work Ethic When I set my mind to achieving something, I work constantly to achieve that goal. I don’t do things half-heartedly, I work my hardest to get everything done to a high standard and on time. I care greatly about the battalion, and I want to use my time to fix the current problems in the battalion and grow it into something great. I’ll do as much as I need to do to ensure the battalion succeeds, may that, if accepted, be this singular term or multiple terms in the future. Approachability I try to be as open as I can be in the sense of people being able to come to me with their problems, concerns, or anything else. I prefer handling it this way as this ties into being able to resolve issues within the battalion with healthy communicative ways. Management & Leadership As a leader, I believe in leading by example and showing my team the way through my actions. I keep up a high level of activity and expect the same from my battalion. Whether it's about sticking to certain standards during in-game fun or keeping a strong work ethic, I think leaders in higher spots should be role models for their battalion. I'm also good at dishing out tasks and keeping an eye on their progress, all while staying in touch with the people involved. This lets me pitch in and help the battalion evolve while keeping things in check. I'm pretty adaptable too, so I can handle different situations and learn from them quickly. This has come in super handy before and will be a big plus in a leadership role. Working with my officers is gonna be my main thing. I value their thoughts and insights to make decisions for the battalion. Everyone's viewpoint matters, and I'm happy to team up with others to make the battalion perform at its best. Availability Monday - Thursday; 12 PM EST - 10 PM EST Friday - Saturday; 6 AM EST - 10 PM EST Sunday; 6 AM EST - 10 PM EST Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay? | 501st MAJ Jesse has played for 5136:19:34. Do you have a microphone? Yes I do Where do you want your battalion to be at the end of your term? The following sections will go over what I want to do over the entire term, spread out, to prevent burnout and ensure it’s optimised to the point it can be used by future BCMDs and/or innovated upon the systems put in place during my term. Officer Corps Currently the officer corps is in a stable state as to where there are enough officers that even if a few were to go on LOA or go inactive we would still manage. There is no change that is needed for that specifically, but rather the distinction between the four ‘’levels’’ of officer ranks. Currently there is no real difference between WO-MAJ within the battalion. Pushing for the changes where there is a clear difference between WO, LT-CPT, MAJ, and CMD+ is necessary so people assigned the ranks understand what their actual job is within the battalion. In short here is what it would entail: - Warrant Officer position is to be treated as a 3 week long trial officer period in which they have an increased interaction with the NCOs & Enlisted, learn the ropes of becoming an officer and at the end of this ‘’term’’ be concluded by the current officers if they are moving up to LT or moved back down to SGM based on their performance within those 3 weeks. - Junior Officer (Lieutenant & Captain) rank group troopers will be overseeing management of the Enlisted+, and will be expected to carry out their duties as defined by their day to day operations (Disciplining, leading in events, working on management goals, etc). This rank is expected to lead/mentor in any event that comes on our way and can do so flawlessly. Anyone at this position is expected to show a high level of professionalism when communicating with other battalions, and are to be seen as the role models for the battalion. I consider this rank group to be on the front lines of much of the day to day operations. - Senior Officer (Major) rank group members will be overseeing the JOs and below. They will be expected to carry out duties that will be more defined as management of the battalion, and assist the JCOs with their inquiries. Anyone in this position, like with JOs, will be expected to show a high level of professionalism when communicating with other battalions, inner-battalion personnel and be a major role model for the battalion. This is a rank I consider to be actively aiding in game when needed, helping Battalion Command now and then, and hosting training revolved around improvement. - Command (Commander) is considered to be a senior management role of the battalion, this is where troopers are expected to handle the top-down management of the battalion (implementing structural battalion policies, evaluating and rewriting documentation, handling the direction of the battalion as a whole, etc). Troopers of the CMD rank group will be expected to show outstanding leadership, and are able to take a look at the overall macro management of the battalion. This is also where they will be transitioning into handling management matters, with delegating many of the daily operations to the NCOs, SNCOs, JCOs, and SCOs. If the BCMD is otherwise disposed, the members of the Command team are expected to be able to take over command of the battalion as a whole and are trusted personnel within the battalion. - Battalion Commander considered to be the head honcho, the Battalion Commander Rank/Role is critical to keeping the battalion on task. This rank is essential for setting battalion wide goals, setting standard, and being the face of the battalion as a whole. This rank is responsible for overseeing documentation development, writing documentation, watching over the conduct of everyone, ensuring continued battalion relations, and much more. This rank is one that should be held with honour, integrity, and respect. As I have stated before, leadership stems from the top, so strong leadership is important to fostering a sense of brotherhood amongst the ranks. Anything that is done at this rank (inactivity, minging, etc) will surely be seen and replicated by others of the battalion, so it is important to stand tall as the role model for change and progress. Regimental & Sub-Unit Structure With the current Regimental Structure we have there is the position of Regimental Lead, like usual, and currently also the position of Regimental Advisor. This so-called ‘’REGA’’ is essentially a fancy name for a REGO, in other battalions. I plan on completely removing this position and keeping it to just REGL. This would also apply to the current role of Jesse being placed as an immediate XO for the 332nd sub-unit. Rather than putting someone in a position just because they got a certain character, have them work up to it. With this it’d effectively move Jesse to a normal ARC trooper within 332nd itself with the possibility for them to apply for 332nd Officer. As for the current state of the sub-units, they are in a decent spot. With TC having the vacant slot of Appo it will be one of the first points to address within the term to get Torrent Company running smoothly from the start. As for 332nd, they are in a decent spot besides the retention and activity. As this is an easier sub-unit to get into, it also comes with the complication of retaining people that enter it. This is an issue that will be addressed with one of them being the requirements being SGT+, EOD, and Tech without the ability for a waive in this case. This is so the people who play and get into the sub-unit actually are serious and put in a little bit of effort into it rather than join, go inactive, and eventually get removed. Transfers Small point, but important to me. I will be removing any and all transfers above the rank of SGM for the sole purpose of not being a fan of integrating new officers into the battalion that already has a working officer corps. If people are adamant on helping a battalion out and they are serious about it, they can work their way up to the position of WO again and go from there while getting adjusted to both the battalion and its culture. This would have no exceptions no matter who it is. Documentation, infrastructure, and organisation This point is more so everything is organised in a way that it’s all in one place and accessible at any time for the necessary personnel. My first time in 501st CMD+ positions we had a google drive that hosted any and all officially made documents from the 501st Legion accessible by only CMD+. This would mean that any and all docs not within this ecosystem would be seen as scrapped and not in-use. With this think of folders such as Regimental-, Battalion-, and miscellaneous structures. With people needing access having the access needed. With this infrastructure change any and all Senior Officer+ would be responsible for the changes made to documentation as opposed to other people. All documents will be changed into a uniform format so it all follows the same system. As for organisation, some minor changes to clean up the discord and make it easier to navigate in the discord itself for both existing and new members. This would not change any systems in the discord currently installed for our intel purposes unless fully needed. I believe that all these changes, while not directly influencing how we play, will help a lot from a management standpoint and organise everything for the future BCMDs. NCO Corps As it currently stands there is not a system in place to see who needs to be promoted and who not, rather it is based on the officer’s discretion. While I want to keep that, I also am going to add performance based promotions. What does this mean? While it’s still officer’s discretion, the amount of work people are putting in, as both officers and mainly NCOs, will be factored in heavily. This is both in-game and anywhere else where it helps the battalion. A small, but needed change, is to implement EOD training within the SGT training if the trainee doesn't have it yet as we as the 501st host that training and it’s important for any and all 501st SGT+ to possess that. Battalion Jedi Currently our jedi program is basically dead, consisting of only two active jedi. It’s a big thing as we have 2 of the biggest jedi lore characters within the battalion and I want to take advantage of that. Currently we are lacking an Ahsoka, which is one of the things I wish to address ASAP so we can get someone into the position who has dedicated their time to the 501st. As I am not the biggest nerd on Jedi, I do not have a ton of plans for the battalion as of now other than integrating them into the day-to-day operations and establishing a successful jedi regiment for the 501st with leadership members who add value to said regiment. Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position? Yes I do Do you understand that your position has a three month term limit and you must reapply after three months to maintain your commander rank? Yes I do

I love you big man <3 Glad I had the chance to talk to you and get to know you.

o7 bud I'll miss you

+1 he is the best Man i know

o7 bud someone had to be in your corner. Hf with life :)

i will kill you if you ever dm me about the halo tv show you will die adios amigo

I notice everytime you apply for something you resign soon after. First Yoda then BCMD. Enjoy your life Pythin. o7 to a guy who's been around the block once or twice.

+1 You got this broski! Good luck brotha!

This man has been very dedicated, I just left to 104th and I was just within the 501st officer core, after working with him for months I believe he has the motivation and dedication to lead the 501st as our future rex. +1

+1

Seen your dedication both within 212th and 501st. I believe you should have a shot at BCMD. Regardless of what happens, 501st is in good hands. +1, Good luck during your interview man!

Rohan is pretty dedicated. I never had any issues with him and always a blast to be around. Good luck! +1

Biggest +1 I could possibly give. Rohan is a stand up member of the community who has extreme passion and determination to rise up though the ranks of it. He is an extremely close friend of mine who I trust even more so. He has been there for me whenever he's needed for more times than I can count. He is a commendable person worthy of recognition within Synergy and has shown that he is more than worthy of becoming Rex and running the 501st. Staff side, he is an excellent leader who will answer any questions any member has and is always willing to help out someone, along with him being the infrastructure HA he is more than capable of making/implementing a merit system for the NCO Corp so they will be able to be promoted. In-game wise, he's a great role player and will engage in any situation if he is brought into it. He's extremely active and will stop on a dime if you need help whether a new player or old. Rohan, as I've said, is single handedly one of the greatest person I've ever met on this server before and know that is his capable and truly worth being friends with.

+1

+1, based on interactions. Great candidate.

You are a nice member of this community in general. Only had good interactions with you. I also know how dedicated you are to the 501st.. +1

I like this. I hope you lead 501st to a good place in terms of RP and server interaction. +1

Not my #1 pick, but if you do get the position im sure youre more than capable of keeping 501st going. +1

+1 i love this guy he is a great leader and very experience and good at what he does he would make a great rex

massive +1

yeah I agree with this point +1, you've definitely got what the 501st needs to take up the mantle!

+1, we discussed this a bit ago, you've got what it takes and my full faith in you. Take the keys and do the boys good.

Has been one of the main figureheads of 501st since i joined back. +1

+1 rohan has actively been working his ass off for this postion, and i think he's a great fit.

+1 Sam's Tailor moment

+1 This guy has shocked us all in 501st by not only the work he has put in but the way he does it. Always a good guy to be around and I think he would make a great Rex.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm +1 love this guy hes great

5/5/5 More sloppy joes coming up

5/5/5, thanks for hosting

5/5/5

-1. Very hostile and biased to many members of the community. I have not observed any improvement and I don't believe that he can be level headed and unbiased what I have seen of him on the server.

I agree with Hamm -1 for me

Seen multiple people talk about how rude you are towards others and then claim everyone is biased towards new players while insulting and being problematic. I've witnessed this several times myself and this isn't the kind of behavior we need in the staff team. Especially calling people cucks and dickheads. Don't take this the wrong way at all but I will say you have improved a little. I'll give you that and you have some decent history. I have seen you wanting to do more with the community but I really want to see you a bit more calmer. -1 for now. Rooting for your turnaround.

+1 Cool guy

5/5/5 Youre booty
