Steam Name: Underpaidstaff RP Name: Wolffe [Clorox] RP Rank: BCMD Steam ID: 76561198278978641 STEAM_0:1:159356456 Regiment you are applying for: Mechanized Regimental Commander Why should you become a Regimental Commander?: The Mechanized Regiment has been my passion for the past year on this server. The Mechanized Regiment has shown me an atmosphere I haven’t gotten to see in so long. The friendliness and casual comradery has made me feel at home since I first joined the 21st and continued endlessly during my time in the 104th. I have been in all three battalions and can say without a doubt that I have enjoyed the close knit experience, This is an experience I want to bring to all members of the Mechanized battalions both current and future. I want to ensure the 41st, 104th, and 21st all have a chance to show off their respective skills and vehicles. I am very active and capable of being a visible and driven leader who loves this regiment deeply and will push tis regiment to be the absolute best they can be. Availability: Monday and Tuesday nights I will be unavailable some nights otherwise I can usually hop on whenever I want or need too Give a brief overview of your achievements and experience on the server: Experience: 91st MEDO 91st Lightning Squad 91st ARCL 91st XO 91st WAC-47 41st Green Company MEDL 212th 2ndAC MEDO 21st SO ARFL 21st SO MEDL 104th MEDO Dire Squad MAJ Spitter 104th BCMD Wolffe Do you have a microphone?: Yes Where do you want your regiment to be at the end of your term?: Overall The mechanized battalions are a group of relatively small yet strong and well knit battalions. I intend to build up the connection between the battalions to ensure the three battalions and their subunits are properly working together and making a stronger force. There will be more regimental trainings and entertainments to ensure they build up their abilities as a regiment. I want to see the Regiment grow and become a true powerhouse on the server. Throughout my term I will be working with the BCMDs and their battalions to ensure every goal is reached and every member thoroughly enjoys their time on the server. 21st The 21st has a great group of guys coupled with some great subunits to make for the potential to become a true powerhouse in the server. I want to ensure their subunits each have a chance to show their separate skills with SO being given a covert and black-ops roll and KU adopting an elite shock troop role to ensure they all maintain their identities. I want to see them pushing more tank trainings and running more encounters based around their identity. The Galactic marines have shown to be very capable and I want to ensure they are given the time and numbers to be able to show what they can do. The 21st has a good set of leaders whom I know can ensure the battalion is run well and I intend to ensure it is kept that way. 41st The 41st has been doing some work over the past couple of months and managed to achieve battalion of the month. I am proud of them for this accomplishment and believe they can continue to grow in the next few months. I really want to see them get the chance to engage in their lore given role of reconnaissance and embedding of alien populaces, I already have trainings and encounters planned out to make this a reality. With Improco, I want to work on seeing them more in Special ops type missions as well as extraction and diversion missions. I want to see more sniper and reconnaissance activities and look forward to working with the 41st to ensure these happen 104th The 104th has improved spectacularly over the past 5 months and I could not be more happy to see them prosper. I want to see them build upwards on tank trainings and tank based entertainments. I want to see Dire squad build a better identity to ensure their long term well being and become special in their own right. I want to see 104th coming into the role of a true tank battalion making use of their vehicles. The battalion as a whole is well off but can always be better, I want to ensure that the next Wolffe is well and ready to continue improving upon themselves. I will be pushing for more tank trainings and entertainments in game How do you plan to improve relations within your regiment?: The mechanized regiments have for the past few months been good however I want to see them closer. I will ensure the number of joint trainings and entertainments will increase in order to see the 21st, 41st, and 104th all grow more capable of working as a joint unit. I am extremely active in game and will be able to operate visibly both in game and in teamspeak with the battalions. I want the mechanized battalions to actively reach out with and hang out with each other and will ensure they all have the mindset of operating together. The boys of the mechanized regiment are without a doubt deserving of an RCMD who will give them their utmost attention and work tirelessly to ensure they have the best experience they can both with their own battalion and their fellow battalions. With my abilities as a staff member I will ensure that all three battalions get the chance to demonstrate their roles, vehicles and playstyle both as a battalion and a regiment. 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 regimental commander rank?: Yes

Steam Name: Taco RP Name: Dash-29 | Taco RP Rank: LT Steam ID: 76561198834561097 Battalion you are applying for: 104th Mechanized Assault Battalion Experience: Doom’s Unit: x2 Commander 6 months total, x2 ARCL, x2 ARCO, x1 HVYL Havoc Squad: Brimstone, Gambit, Lancer, and Crush 104th: x1ARCO and x1 Wolfpack XO Wolfpack: Dash-29 Why should you become a Battalion Commander?: Clorox has given the next BCMD an opportunity to bring this battalion to the top of the server. However, I feel there are some parts of the battalion that need work/revamps. In my personal opinion I feel as I would be the perfect choice to continue what Clorox has started. With the use of my past experience as a commander in Doom’s Unit, I will be able to push past any hurdles or obstacles that arise during my time as BCMD. I have been reaching out to other BCMDs building relations with other battalions in the server to help prevent any hurdles. Availability: Mon-Fri: 4 pm - 12 am EST Sun: 3 pm - 12 am EST Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?: I've been on the server since late 2019 on and off totaling around 2,861 hours. Do you have a microphone?: Yes Where do you want your battalion to be at the end of your term?: Officers Currently, I feel officers aren’t held to the standard that is expected. The quota of 4 large entertainments isn’t always filled and nothing comes of it. If I become Wolffe I will ensure that officers live up to the standard that is set for them by introducing a strike system if they do not fill the quota. As of right now, there is no clear process in choosing a WO. We have a discord channel that has a “watchlist” but I feel it is ignored and not used 100%. I want to implement a system where before they become an officer they must go through an evaluation period where all officers will see how the NCO does. We will then discuss and decide during the bi-weekly meeting if they should be WO or not. Right now, we do not have set meetings for the officer core. I want to have bi-weekly meeting with the officer core. We will ensure we take accurate notes to look back on them. If someone can't make it they will have a chance before the meeting to write their personal notes This will help build communication between high command and the officer core. To ensure that the entire battalion is aware and updated on any monthly battalion info using the notes from the officer meetings there will be a Monthly State of the Battalion announcement that will include all of the monthly battalion stats, any open positions within the battalion, the trooper of the month, and more. NCOs At this current moment, the NCOs have no reason in doing trainings or recruitments other than rank requirements. I want to implement a system to reward activity in the NCO core by introducing trooper of the week and trooper of the month, those who get trooper of the week can be nominated for trooper of the month and earn additional rewards. Intel Revamp Sadly, most intel members are actually afraid of touching anything on the roster as they fear they might break something on it. I would like to simplify the logging process and increase redundancy. I would like to introduce adding NCOs to the intel team as another way for them to show commitment to the battalion and bypass certain promotion requirements. Intel work could also factor into getting trooper of the week/month. I also feel that the current documents we use are outdated and one of the first things I will be working on is getting these updated. Sub Units Personally, I feel both Wolfpack and Dire Squad are kind of under utilized. I feel like Wolfpack is just guys with jetpacks! I want them to be an advanced insertions squad or something along the lines of being more of a HALO team that is dropped behind enemy lines. Dire Squad has a lot of potential and can become something very intriguing. I want them to be used as a shock squad, a team that hits enemies weak spots. Just like every other 104th, I want them to have their own models, making their kit more CQB based with a shotgun instead of the DP-20 and buff their armor. 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 commander rank?: Yes

Name: Brooklyn Staff Rank: SA Are you VIP?: Yes Date: Today Reason for leaving: Plead the 5th Farewells: RIP Baron

Yes. We did. a simple CTRL F of the words Dire Squad will show its mention twice at the bottom of the app. The sentence consists of "Dire Squad has a lot of potential and can become something very intriguing. I want them to be used as a shock squad, a team that hits enemies weak spots. Just like every other 104th, I want them to have their own models, making their kit more CQB based with a shotgun instead of the DP-20 and buff their armor." This is a TLDR of "I want them to have models. I want their kit changed to a shotgun" There is no mention of how he plans to go about turning them into a shock squad or precision insertion team. Therefore its not touched on.

+1 would love to see this man lead our troopers. he has lots of activity and i’ve seen him improve in LOTS of different things since he’s been in the 104th and i’m all here for it.

+1 W guy can wait to see

Wish you the best man <3

RP died with the players not the maps

The biggest issue with intel previously was the need to update the intel handbook which has already been done Can you elaborate on this? Can you expand upon your Why should you be the BCMD section? You are a good guy Taco but I would like to see more on your app before I vote . There is a lot here that is either not well elaborated or not quite right.

yeah i did too it was 2am forget what i said

I trust you'd be a great Wolffe just before I vote I have one question for you. How do you plan to help revitalize the branches within the 104th that need more members? (ie; Support & Medics) Abstain for now.

Both Ds and TK are in desperate need of rework, only single WL subunits on the server rn and both are severely lacking in what they have to offer. +1

This is probably the best written out staff app I’ve seen Hesitant +1 but with staff experience as well as you getting waived by an HA you’ll be alright Do try to learn more amount the community and everyone within it though it’ll help you loads

+1

+1 If this is what the server and the battalion wants “for the players by the players”- Synergy Motto under The hood era

+1 when I joined CG I had to be told that TK was a sub unit and not just a branch, very confused since it was just ARF, this would turn it into a actual sub unit instead of glorified ARF

+1 DS is incredibly starved and this is really needed to compete even with just specializations like MED or Heavy

+1 for the 15LE -1 for the Westar. CG would be the first and only battalion to effectively give Westars to all their Lore Characters. Otherwise i see no issues with this suggestion. Looks like a good revamp imo

I have some questions before I vote. 1. You talk briefly about how to make Wolfpack and Dire Squad more interesting. But I really want to hear more about this, you have the direction you want to take them but how are you going to get them there? 2. On the topic of NCOs, you talk about requirements not being enough incentive to get people hosting things. Trooper of the Week and Month are good, but aren't a sure fire solution to the issue. What else do you plan to do to fix this issue? 3. I think consistent officer meetings are great, but what other issues do you see within the Officer core and how do you plan to fix them? 4. Your "Why you should be BCMD" section is also very lackluster, tell me more about why you're the right fit. Overall this is a very lackluster application, I've seen better applications get more harsh criticism than what me and Mystic have provided. I hope to hear your answers soon!

+1 Spoke to Taco previously and he addressed the concerns and questions I had to ask and a lot more I had were answered in this application, it would be a mistake to not put this man in BCMD position! in my opinion, Taco is the best current option for this position. He has the drive, time, and the experience needed for a BCMD to lead in and out of game effectively.

Denied Come back here boyo

+1

Adios amigo

Stay safe out there homie

o7. Really unfortunate to see you go. You were a blast to work with in Rancor and a huge asset to the ARC program. I hadn't seen it run as well as you ran it in years. Hope to see you in the future though. times change without us and maybe it'll improve to your taste someday. rest easy old friend.

+1 Honestly lots of great ideas coming in and I think you're the man to put them in place as Wolffe

+1

+1 finally someone with fucking balls of steels can finally get this guy. Here is some of the lessons i learned that i hope kaiser can learn. @KaiserNeiner No fucking warnings on this server, this is a hardcore fucking GMOD server for people like us, dont try to ruin it with your mingy behavior dude. No fucking getting into LAAT, your barely trained and frankly just a bad driver let real fucking pilots get it, not only do you take over CG you wanan take Pilot job next? No fucking spawning in lightsabers at all, we get it bro you were rahm kota! but no one fucking cares geek, how about you use your ARREST BATON and stop being biased/favortism I have had personal issues with kaiser before so im glad someone can finanly speak out against him, during high staff meeting kaiser would constantly talk about "Making Synergy Great Again" he made it such a hostile work enviorment one meeting i screamed and cried @JamesBrentthe silent minority stands with you brother

Bro has an anime PFP +1

Endor. It's the last time anyone treated Synergy like a roleplay server. That and sith

this is so real Baron thank you for one last great take. On a real note though, gonna miss your presence around here, don't be a stranger! Hope to see you around sometime, thanks for all the chats and RP we've had. PS @Xazeand I have already discussed my taking of your spot on the Dev team.

Didn't read, +1 Anything for my KaiserNeiner!

I would like to touch on this bit. If documents are outdated you need to reach out to the proper people and get them updated. Personally, You've never reached out to me about anything... the Intel Director. Nobody should be afraid of breaking a roster. That's my job to fix and the point of Intel Training. If they're scared they just shouldn't be Intel. Adding NCOs to the Intel team in what way? If you move NCOs to intel you open up a plethora of possible issues that can be resolved, but require time and preplanning, which again i've never been reached out to about this. As far as your plan to simplify it, it was brought to me by not yourself, but Clorox. The entire roster change was removing the automation and adding merits. Removing automation doesn't make a roster easier to use. It increases the likely hood of messing up promotion dates, rank updates, and people would need to manually log their changes and manually update the roster. This is asking almost 3x the work it takes to currently do /recruit. /promote is picking a name and a rank abbreviation, whereas changing to manual would require opening the roster, finding the person and manually changing their promotion date and their rank itself then going into Intel chat and posting the promotion. Intel bits aside, Ther rest of this app is fairly lackluster. You can do bi-weekly meetings yourself as most battalions do this already with their Junior Officers spearheading them. As for NCOs reward you can also already implement this as an Officer. As for the Wolfpack thing, You can easily start doing this too as WPXO. Unless Badger was against this. You also touched on Dire Squad almost 0%. You mention you want them to have models and you plan to get their kit changed. Fundamentally what do you think needs adjusted to make them succeed on more than just the development side of things? TLDR Adding credit rewards for NCOs, Turning Intel manual and putting up Dire Squad suggestions are things i don't see benefitting the battalion at all. Especially against the application Juggernaut has up. It'll be a -1 for me but if you make it to Inter view good luck.

Did we read the same app?

These bits are incredibly short, How do you plan to revitalize your NCO core? Both Subunit analysis i agree with. I quite often see a mixture of both on at different times. Is there a plan to prevent Burnout within the Officer corps? Otherwise i enjoy the lengthy bits of your application. As it is ill cast my vote once these are answered

+1 on a real note tho Taco has what it takes to make the 104th even better than what it is now. I've talked to him and his ideas for the battalion look promising.

The cycle of synergy community members claiming every map BEFORE was really good for RP and that RP is dead on the server is comical at this point 💀
