Steam Name: Super RP Name: Yoda RP Rank: Grand Master of the order Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:431699113 Why should you become Chancellor Palpatine?: For the past year, I’ve played on Synergy almost every day and have grown more and more attached as time has gone on. The people who are a part of this community are one of my biggest motivations for continuing to stay in High Command and making this the best server it can be. Throughout my two Yoda terms, I’ve had to make a lot of hard decisions, but my main goal has always been to improve each and every Jedi’s experience here. I’d like to continue this with more server-wide influence as Palpatine. Being Yoda two terms in a row, combined with my experience in the Civilian Faction as Mas Amedda, has prepared me to take on this role ideally. The VIP factions have been without a Palpatine for a long time and now that Jedi is in a stable place, I feel like it is the proper time for me to move up. I have reached out to a large majority of the server’s CMD team and asked them what they would want to see if I went for Palpatine. The biggest thing I heard is that they want a Palpatine that is active and on the server interacting with people to the best of their ability. I genuinely believe I can do that and there are unlimited opportunities for RP that I can do. It is the thing I am most excited to start doing if I get the opportunity to do so. Availability: monday -friday after 5:30 PM til midnight Saturday-Sunday free all-day Give a brief overview of your achievements and experience on the server: Mas Amedda When I was Mas Amedda, I was able to fill the senate on two separate occasions. When I resigned from Mas, I left due to getting Yoda, and the Senate ended up dissolving due to not having secure leadership. During the time I was in charge of the Senate, I was forced to learn that you need to find someone to succeed you in any leadership position you have. Not having people ready to replace you can lead to all the work put in previously going to waste, and this is something that I learned the hard way. Jedi Chief Instructor Nine months ago, I was made the chief instructor under Entity. This role taught me the most about how to be a leader. It was my first Commander position, and it left me with a lot of responsibilities. At first, it was a bit shaky, but with a lot of hard work I learned the ropes and was able to be the best I could be. When I became Chief Instructor, I was in charge of all trials for the Younglings and Knights. My job was to ensure that every trial was conducted properly and everyone had a fair shot at moving forward in the order. Alongside that part of the job, I was also in charge of the entirety of the master team, making sure they all hit quota and were in the best position they could be in. Another section of the Order that I was in charge of at the time was being head of the discipline Any and all arrests I was in charge of and had to deal with, from simple PTS arrest to discrimination and bullying reports. You name it and I probably had to deal with it at some point. Thankfully, one of Entity's goals from his Yoda term was to make a comprehensive discipline guide so that any and all arrests or warnings would all be treated in the same way and not just thrown together willy-nilly. As chief instructor I was forced to learn a lot and become more responsible with everything I did moving forward. Becoming chief instructor was the catalyst to my moving to apply for Palpatine. I knew when I decided to go for Yoda I wasn't going just to do one term, and I also knew eventually, I would have to make the jump and apply for this next step in my synergy career. Yoda As Yoda, I've had to make many hard calls for the future of the order. When making decisions regarding Jedi, I thought of two major things. How will this affect the order, and is this in the best interest of the future of this faction? In my time as Yoda, I have brought the order into an era of stability and prosperity Thinking back on the Order before I became Yoda, to the Order myself and my team have created, and I can say that I have left a mark on the future of the server. My biggest hope is that I made the job easier for the next Yodas so they can continue to lead this excellent Order through new endeavors. What do you feel the role of the Chancellor is?: I believe that being a good Palpatine is all about finding a balance between letting the Factions make their own decisions while also knowing when to step in. Another big aspect of the Palpatine job is the in-game RP. Palpatine should be role playing consistently with the GAR and factions as often as possible. Having an in-game presence is a massive part of all applicable positions on Synergy. Last but certainly not least, Palpatine is a High Command position. This means staying up to date with all HC matters and taking an active role when it comes to interviews for positions on the server. Do you have a microphone?: yes Where do you want the Jedi, Senate, and Guild to be at the end of your term?: By the end of my term, I would love for all three factions to be in a great place, but I have to be realistic. I want the Factions to be in a healthy spot where I can't say one is doing worse than the other. For Jedi, I have full faith in the leadership I left in place to take it and make it better day by day. I made sure I left Jedi in a place where I could focus on Naval and Civilian. I’d like to help them by actively starting to heal any broken pieces of them. Now, when it comes to the Navy itself, the leadership that Gohn has left behind is more than capable of making the Naval into a machine that can work day and night to improve itself. If the leadership wants me to step in and help them I will not hesitate in assisting them with making improvements. Now to the faction that needs the most help, in my opinion, Civilian. This Faction needs the most hands-on help out of all the VIP Factions. The Senate side of Civilian I can genuinely say is in one of the best spots I have ever seen in my time on the server. Blaze has done such a good job rebuilding the Senate from the ground up. Yes, it had a few hiccups, but everyone who has made something great can say they had a few bumps in the road. On the other side of Faction, Bounty Hunter needs drastic help getting it back on its feet. I plan on working alongside Harper and his Guild LTs to help rebuild the Guild. As of right now, there is little to no activity on normal hunters online anymore. When the Server had a governor, the Faction did have a lot of activity and that’s due to many factors. My main goal for Civilians is to mentor up the two Commanders of the faction to be ready to go for Governor if they so choose to go for the position. How do you plan to improve relations within the Grand Army?: In my opinion, the best way for me to improve relations with the GAR is to play the role of Chancellor Palpatine and constantly interact with the battalions. Doing his RP on both sides of the war. The role of Palpatine has a lot of different ways you can go about RP, and I can not wait to explore the different ways I can interact with the server and the events that can be built around me being online. Although The GAR isn't going to be my main focus, I will not hesitate to assist any battalion that reaches out for help or if the regimentals need any help. I will always be around to help them in any way I can How do you plan to improve relations within the VIP factions?: I’d apply the same concept to the Factions and get them as involved as possible with all things happening on the server that they can take part in. With the Factions already having many subunits within each other, for example, Senate has Naval Diplomats and Jedi Diplomats, Jedi having Militia within Guild, and Naval having RSB to interact with the Guild, we just need to make sure that all of these sub-factions within the VIP faction are running and doing everything they can to promote Synergy with the rest of the server. 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 limit and you must reapply after three months to maintain your position of Chancellor Palpatine? yes

So I've been on the server for about 3 years now on and off and I really miss all the old heads I used to know so I think it's my time to hang up the rifle and call it a day. It's been a hell of a ride alot of ups and downs with alot of different people. I hope for those who still play everyday or often enjoy synergy as much as I did. Just remeber it only takes you being crazy for about 60 seconds and you can spark alot of passive rp. Multiple sarge moments with alot of people especially @Xaze he has quite a few clips of the early days of me doing crazy stuff. Not gonna lie I'm sure alot of people also do. But it's been a pleasure knowing all of yall just remeber yall are pimps and also stay on top broths. Shoutouts. @Abraham you where one of the first homies I became really close with i know you no longer play but I hope all is well. Xaze you introduced me to synergy and brought me in I'm glad to see everything you have managed to accomplish and I hope your success continues. Clorox you brought me into 104th with open arms and took me in sorry I couldn't of been a bigger help. @Baron it was always fun to drag you into whatever stupid shit I had going on it was always a pleasure to do anything with you on the server. Especially the shrooms was an interesting time lol. LiL J you are the only remaining member of the og jek squad we had I hope you go for bcmd of sobde and become something more then you already have. @Shady Sometime we where a pain in the ass to each other but it was fun being able to vibe with someone as much as i did with you. Might be coming out that way in may idk yet ill lyk. Jake the og Pit Droid best builder I know one of the most unquie people to roleplay with thank you for all of the fun builds and interesting experiences. Sorry to anyone I forgot or I didn't ping properly i couldnt find your @. Also I've met so many amazing people throughout my time it's hard to remeber everyone but you all where amazing. I hope you all go far in the future in game and real life. This is CT 0316 Sarge signing off for his finale transmission. This is a resignation from everything that I am apart of.

Thanks for answering, +1. Only thing I would dosagree on is the cmd meetings as I feel like they are irrelevant most of the times unless something extremely important pops up that cant be put in cmd chat.

Actually great late night event. Had a fun story and there was a lot of cool effects. Loved how there were elite infected in the Chancellor's Office. 10/10/10

Ummmm.. Naaahhhh JK I am aware of this. Thanks!

bye bye Sarge, hope to see you around again!!

One thing I've noticed on high command application recently, this one included, is a lack of anything about actual high command business. Palpatine is 1 of the most important positions on the server. You have a lot of strength in a position like this. Your app & answers paint a picture yes. But you, alongside directors, would be the leading authority on change and player development within the community. How have you proved you can be trusted with such a position? Another thing, getting factions stable is great. It's your job. But do you have any agenda on anything you want to push for these factions? Literally the sky is the limit for you. It will be a HOT minute before we see a Marshal. If you are given the ability to step in like Palpatine's before you, will you be able to deal with all that responsibility? It is a massively different beast. Yoda, you get the council and all that. Right now though, you would be running a very bare bones high command team. I wanna be confident in your ability to deal with situations quickly. Can you do this? How will you avoid a potential overlode/burnout? I don't wanna be the guy to say it, but I will. The current Guild Lead and Mas have been around for how long? If this is still a problem, that in itself is an issue. If something like this gets worse, how will you deal with that? One thing I butted heads with you a lot was your purpose of a Windu. When I asked you about updating his perms, also you being asked by your windu to update his perms. You didn't for almost a month. Still haven't. Can you commit to make changes quick and efficiently? And not waiting on the next guy to do it? The last thing I gotta ask, to kind of include everything else I've said, we haven't had a Palpatine in a long time. Why should it be you?
