  1. Bro makes fun of me yet don't change the fact he'd make a good pick for governor. Too the people who are putting "You immature" bring a clip next time :Amogus: accusation's with no evidence is a crazy way to get you too have no respect. IMO

  2. On 5/3/2023 at 3:00 AM, Keegan said:

    TL;DR: We, the Senate Leadership encompassing Senior Senators Vasco and Cheez, and Vice Chair Keegan, do not believe Rohan is the correct fit for this position given the ideas, his personality, and the complete backstabbing that has just occurred, which we had honestly hoped would be completely over with at this point as we are sick of drama. We do not believe Senate Leadership or some of the Guild Leadership will be able to properly work with Rohan to get anything productive done.

    Regarding work ethic and dedication, you have been a Marshal for 2 months, and a LT for around 20 days. During this time, while the Guild has been in a good state and the things you say you worked on did happen, we cannot attribute them fairly to you as an individual as you neglect to state the other people who put in time to work on these things. In particular to the new Guild Rules document, this is something that many people have wanted to do for a long time, and while you kickstarted working on it, it is something that we know Hanz (the Guild LT at the time) did the majority of the work and actually completed the document itself. After you stopped in the initial stages, Hanz completed the project itself.

    Regarding the contracting system you say you made as a temporary solution, this is something that isn't worth being mentioned as an accomplishment. All that happened was someone else linked the Discords to the BH Permits, and a channel was created in the BH Discord to log when a contract was put in. These are good things, however not anything of any major value or major change. As a group who has contracted more people than anyone since we got our positions, we can say completely that the system before worked just fine and adding a channel didn't change anything.

    Regarding approachability and conflict resolution, we honestly do not believe in your abilities with this or trust to manage it. On several occasions we have felt disrespected and felt we have not had the chance to fully say or allow a proper amount of time for people to consider what we have had to say. While on these occasions this is not necessarily something in which our opinion is necessarily required, as someone potentially going into the Governor position, we feel as if Mas Amedda and the Guild Leader should be able to give feedback and feel welcomed when discussing things with the other faction, rather than their input being thrown aside. We have felt disrespected and treated like nothing before by others in this position as well. Given how you couldn't wait a day to post this to give us a chance to talk to you and explain our goals and what we want to see in the Senate to you, we see this problem only continuing and not getting any better.

    Regarding the role of the Governor, if you had given us a chance to actually speak to you, you would know that a lot of the Senate is looking for someone to actively RP with them in-game as a Governor would, not via changes that could occur without the Governor’s involvement. Most of the Senate, its leadership, and its long-term members, absolutely despise the position of Governor due to total neglect of roleplay since its addition with potentially the most RP-involved faction on the server, the Senate. In fact, for our Senate Selections, one of our Senators' tryouts revolves around the concept of the position of the Governor, and that is the most roleplay we get regarding the Sector Governance Decree, despite the fact there is an established position for the Governor. The absolute neglect of including solid plans and communicating them to us regarding roleplay as a Governor, and not just "roleplaying on all sides and involving myself with the Senate, Guild, clones, and even Jedi", completely neglecting the RP reasoning for what a Governor is, that it is someone imposed by the Chancellor to take powers away from the Senators themselves, is abhorrent and fails to address this concern to us.

    Regarding relations, the concept of a "public violation log" is absurd. Not only is this implying there will be some sort of law system for a violation to be under, which was suggested in the past few months by a member of HC and shut down by Mas Amedda and a Governor due to how it would only limit RP, but we have serious doubts as to if it would be used by the server after around a week's time has passed. This is similar to what RSB had in the past which failed as well and just limited BHs and annoyed them to the point of getting off the job. Furthermore, this completely goes against what you know we (Keegan in particular) do not want to see from the Citizen faction's interactions with clones, complicated systems. The entire server has to come to understand these systems that BH uses, and if they are something of this nature, such as some Google Form and Sheet system, it will not be used, go out of date, or fall into irrelevance and see total apathy from almost every member of the server, similar to how the base pass has worked, and still does work to an extent (even with an in-game system). No matter how "self-evident" these systems are, you still rely on the player-base to be able to understand them and memorize the information. This puts further burden on your average player who wants to join CG or any clone battalion to know of this system and know to a basic extent how it operates. 

    Regarding relations from the Senate to the server, the concept of public bill discussions has been pushed many a time but always fails due to fundamentally changing how the bill system works. Senators first prepare their concept, and pitch it to some people around the server, then publish it in the bills channel in the Discord (which has been public for some time for people to view), which gathers feedback from the Senators, then after any initial changes are made there is then a vote. This is asynchronous to allow for people with varying schedules to get their thoughts out there, rather than the votes being unfairly affected by who is present at said discussion which is inherently going to be "won" by one side. 

    Between the Senate and the Citizen faction, saying that the Senate will collaborate on bounties is something that is already a potential, however, simply no Senators can work on a hostile bounty outside of Gume Saam and Mas Amedda, and for the friendly bounties, most of those are quite frankly boring to discuss and the interaction is done better through the implementation of bills like our recent one which gave a system for setting up public clinics with the citizens. Most of those bounties just make boring, repetitive RP.

    If you truly understood the current state of Senate (or had waited to let us give you a full understanding of it, as we were willing to do), you would understand that the Senate Guard's position is much more fragile than you believe it to be, but its reliance on the Senators is something that it has lived through for quite some time. Regarding Senator involvement, there is great opportunity just around the corner that resolves a great deal of these concerns, and you know it. Keegan sent you two documents a bit ago that add immense RP back to the Senate, and you don't even mention the existence of our committees at all or wanting to help them succeed given they are new. Regarding the discussion of bills with Civilians or having bills related to the village, there are actually several bills relating to the village or the citizens as a whole spanning back years, it is just the case that these things are not often applied because nobody likes having a certain type of RP forced upon them.

    We also see you as a sly and dishonest person, given your past with leaking IP addresses on another server abusing the powers given to you, and how you post this today, not even a few hours after telling your clear other opponent you would give him a chance to be able to post his own application, since he is unable to post it right now due to a frankly silly ban reason. This application feels rushed due not only to its content, but it being posted not even a few hours after your one attempt to reach out to Keegan, and zero attempts to reach out to the rest of us, and even posted less than 24 hours after the position opened suddenly without any planning behind it. It's actually fucked up that you'd apply after telling someone you'd give them a chance to post their own app in an attempt to get the position before they can even post any kind of response.

    -1 if it wasn’t clear enough.
     

    no shot any the people quoting this with a -1 actually read it :skull:

    Don't know much about guild workings and how it runs but from what other people that I trust have been saying, you seem like a great fit brother, good luck.

  3. Im ngl I don't have anything against you nor do I really know you, yet with how 501st is currently changing and with everything that has been happening to the battalion, I just do not think someone who had just recently came into the battalion can see all of these issues. Not to mention that the other candidate silvian has been in 501st when we wore popping off at 10+ people on at once to today's when we are maybe 3 people on. I simply think silvian is ATM a better face for the battalion and better choice. Not gonna -1 just gonna throw a neutral in here.

  4. I'm add my two cents now. As I have recently come back to the server in the last 2 weeks, I've seen a very very big jump in players ever since I left. From what I remember even during deployments we had 30 maybe 40 players and everyone would get off after the event and back down to 20. Well with whats been happening event wise and server pop wise I do think bringing back the Event server for ATTK reg deployments and other things related to this is a good idea, as having 70+ people on a server with 100+ NPCS shooting, spawning, ect at the same time really is not good for the health of the server. I've seen a lot of events in my time back straight up just become unplayable and that's no fault on the EC its simply a server issue. I think we could be having a lot better events if we wore to fully re-open the event server or just open to 1 Reg at a time for OPS ( 212th / 501st event ). IDK how it technical side of things with the server and if it just is generally shit and not because of the players but event that I still think it could give EC's a lot more breathing room and more time to plan and make sure an event goes a certain way if they only have to worry about maybe 20 - 30 players. IMO 

  5. Tbh I think its a "ok" change, I don't like it nor do I hate it but, I do think the community should have been consulted and idk maybe a forum post before asking the opinions on the subject and even going as far as to make a poll to see what people think. Tbh I kind of feel like making decisions between just staff / high staff [ Idk who made the decisions for this ] is kind of the reason why we get such negative feed back when you guys try to change things up.

    I'm not gonna lie, I may have only been here for a few weeks, but all I hear is complaining and people talking about "Well back in my day!". from  a new person joining the community I honestly don't see a lot of issues, ye maybe the founders don't "do a lot" but at the end of the day they fucking fund the server you guys spend months on. I have not been here long enough to say the founders don't do jack shit. And for the whole Step down thing, there may be people here that say, "Oh well, I can be a better founder!" Half of you would be crying and having 0 clue what to do. 

    And if your expecting me to go on this rant about Ideas I have and ways to make the server fun, then keep scrolling cause besides personal preference, I like the server, I think its fun, I don't fuckin care we get 40 on a day, its fun, when we get 50+ I still enjoy, when we get 20+ I still play. Its enjoyable for me. And to go to another thing with what some people are saying, if you feel like you are stressed 24/7 over a gmod server, weather you are a BCMD / Staff / Gm / Anything, then in my opinion thats fucking upsetting. Now calm down Forum warriors, let me explain, I've had my rodeo with servers and me joining and becoming high staff ranks, I get what some go through, but for me I put money on the line for something I needed to pay out, if I didn't then I would have lost nearly 600$, That's stressful, If a server is your only source of income, thats when I'd be worried if Im doing a good job, getting the right people and if it's worth quitting and flipping burgers.  

    I've been playing gmod since 2014, at the right bold age of I think 9 years old, my first PC game besides CS. After a long wile of growing up when I hit 15 I decided to make a server with a buddy of myn from high school, we made a SCP RP server ware worked 24/7 to make sure that this shit would work and put my whole savings account into it. And thankfully after nearly a year it worked, I was being payed wile at school cause of donations and I never felt so good, yet I never played, I hired Dev's got the staff team to Manager's of my server and I did was pay for it and be the "leader" of it, until we shutdown cause of internal issues, but my point is with this is, when you work so hard on something from start to finish, there's a point ware you want to work in the backround, just because we dont see square online don't mean he's sitting there rubbing his toes laughing at the server dying, Yes I think there's needs some change, yes the server may be going down but at the end of the day, from what I've read the server has always had these moments off low counts, and you guys pushed through.

    I want to keep playing here, I truly do, I don't want to stop playing until I feel like I'm done with GMOD as a whole, but yawl got to think rationally for maybe 10 seconds here and understand, if I put in 1000's+ hours into this, I would not want to play every day either. 

    And If any of you are going to try and + Cope me or something and send me a essay Im not gonna read it so just be blunt with me on anything you think I messed up in my words.
