+1 Your application seems very solid and I've seen you around on the server. The times I've interacted with you has been pleasant and I genuinely believe you would be a great member of the staff team.

In truth this is the only thing I would see as a problem. However, the rest of the application seems solid as hell. I've heard nothing but good things about you and if everything I've been told is true I think you'd be an amazing member of the staff team. You show that you care about the community and share that you have the potential to help people out whenever is needed. This is respectable in my opinion and would love to work alongside ya on the staff team. +1

-1 I hate to be that guy, but I genuinely don't see a lot of effort put into this application. I would love to see a lot more if possible, if you add more I will gladly take another look at it and potentially change my mind. However, as of current I would have to remain with my current opinion.

+1 Been around the guy a lot and can tell he's a solid dude. He wants to do things that benefits the health of the entire server and puts in some genuine care with the playerbase at times. He's shown me he cares about the community and showed me that he would be an amazing addition to the staff team.

So as of current I've noticed some troops who refuses to listen and a lot of old rules and regulations that's been drowned away. Answer to First Question: I'd like to enforce some of our rules a lot more than they are now, and being able to create a bit more order I feel we could give off a more professional look. For example, I've seen a lot of in-game blatant disregard for structure and order. It's stuff like this I'm really wanting to squash within Rancor as it can make the battalion look unpleasant. Answer to Second Question: As of current I have made suggestions to make some changes and told that it would be talked about or discussed. I'm hoping with BCMD I'd be able to push these talks a lot more working with the officer corp and command more directly in-order to make changes I feel need to be made in-order to further enforce professionalism and structure.

I do respect your opinion, however I do just want to clarify on the captain part. I was a captain for a month and then a major for about a week. The reason I went for a waive was previously commander was required rank. But I do appreciate your input and respect the decision! Thank you!

I did inform them and to answer your question yes, I did receive support. I would like to keep things going, but I found a lot of stuff written down not being enforced and that's what I'm looking to change. I do see things that need changed however. A lot of unknowns and a lot of confusion so wanting to fix such things and solve those problems.

Steam Name: DuhWolfe RP Name: Duh/Trauma RP Rank: Major Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:128080273 Battalion you are applying for: Rancor Battalion Commander Experience: Rancor on this server: My recent promotion to the rank of Major signifies a milestone in my Rancor experience, a testament to my commitment and contributions to the battalion as a whole. Throughout my time, I have assumed various leadership roles, including overseeing the Heavies in Rancor and providing support and guidance to other officers and leads within the battalion. Whether leading Trauma's Unit or working with fellow officers, my focus has always been on fostering a cohesive and efficient environment where everyone can thrive. Having experienced Rancor from different perspectives, from leading Trauma's Unit to serving as an officer, I possess a comprehensive understanding of the battalion's dynamics, strengths, and areas for improvement. This multifaceted experience gives me the insight and capability to lead Rancor to new heights, ensuring that we continue to excel and uphold our reputation within the server community. In summary, my experience within the server may be limited to the Rancor Battalion on this server; it has been marked by unwavering dedication, leadership, and a steadfast commitment to the battalion's success. As a Major with the experience gifted to me by the previous and current command and a deep-rooted passion for Rancor, I'm happy with my current experience. Why should you become a Battalion Commander?: As a member of Rancor Battalion since I’ve joined the server, I believe I am the ideal candidate to serve as the battalion commander for both Rancor and its ARC troopers. Since my first day on the server, I've been deeply committed to our battalion, witnessing its highs and lows, and I've remained steadfast through it all. My dedication to Rancor runs deep; I've invested time and effort into ensuring its success, regardless of the challenges we've faced. My time with the battalion has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of its inner workings, its strengths, and areas for improvement. I care deeply about the battalion’s well-being and success, and I am determined to do everything in my power to lead Rancor to even greater heights. Under my leadership, I will prioritize the welfare and growth of every member, fostering a culture of teamwork, excellence, and resilience. Together, we will navigate any obstacles and emerge stronger, ensuring that Rancor not only survives but thrives under my guidance. I threw myself into the fray, putting in effort and dedication to excel within Rancor. After joining Trauma's Unit and immersing myself in the unit, I found myself learning and growing more. I asked questions, sought guidance from my command, and absorbed every bit of knowledge I could. The command I believe recognized my potential and encouraged me to apply for a leadership position within the unit. At first, I was hesitant, doubting my readiness for such a responsibility admittedly. However, under the mentorship of Blank (Hammer at the time), Iceman (Previous Blitz), Blazin (Shaak Ti at the time), and Bana (Colt), I began to see my own potential. They not only believed in me but also invested their time and effort into shaping me into a capable leader. Through their guidance and support, I gained the confidence and understanding of what it takes to lead effectively within Rancor Battalion. Availability: Mon-Fri: Possible at times to be in the morning, but mostly after 3PM EST or 4 PM EST Weekends: Mostly all day Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?: About 680 hours Do you have a microphone?: Yes Where do you want your battalion to be at the end of your term?: My vision for Rancor Battalion is one where we operate at our peak, functioning smoothly and held to the highest standards on the server. I envision a battalion that earns respect through their actions rather than expecting it as a given. They will be exemplary role models for newer players, welcoming them with open arms and guiding them to not only enjoy their time here but also to improve themselves. Alpha ARCs I am committed to providing balanced leadership and ensuring they have all the necessary resources to excel in their duties. Collaboration with the Alpha lead will ensure continuity even after my term, guaranteeing that the unit remains strong and well-guided. Trauma’s Unit Trauma’s Unit holds a special place in my heart, and I've dedicated time to build and sustain it. I aim to leave a lasting legacy, ensuring the unit remains active and valued within the battalion, even as it continues to evolve. Rules and Standards I recognize the need to bring back some of the buried ideas and documents to maintain progress and ensure a high standard within Rancor. Rebuilding some of the old ideas and making sure that Rancor is serving as role models not only for new troopers but for everyone within the battalion, with a commitment to upholding these standards even after my term. Finally, my ultimate goal in the end is for Rancor to earn respect, both within itself and from external sources. I will work tirelessly to foster an environment where members view each other not just as fellow gamers, but as friends and teammates who can overcome differences and work together effectively. This culture of respect and camaraderie will be my enduring legacy, continuing to thrive even after my time as battalion commander comes to an end. 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

-1 he's meanie Nah jk, +1 I genuinely think he's a good guy and knows how to care about the community but knows how to tell people what they need to be told but in a good way. He's been a good leader and shows very good qualities for it. Genuinely think he'd be a good member for the team.
