As much as it would suck to see you leave Wolffe, I think you got this chief. +1

I think I'll go Neutral on this one chief.

This sounds like a not so good idea -1

So, I've had this issue on the server recently. I'll be walking around sometimes and out of nowhere, some of my textures go missing. It seems to be any material that has a movie texture associated with it. The biggest and most annoying example is the water on the lake. mat_specular doesn't do anything for it and it's super annoying, I don't know how to recreate it, it just kinda happens sometimes. It also causes the textures on a lot of the permaweapons to go missing. I have every Counter Strike game installed, I have all the packs and addons for the server downloaded, and this shit still happens. Anyone know a command or something that fixes this?

I don't know about anyone else but if I were you I wouldn't say my attitude has changed if only about a month or so ago you came with SOBDE on an event, in which you didn't even ask to join or were invite to mind you, and spamming 'Wave Check' both in game and in TS. You were told multiple times to stop by many people, including Boss. After you refused to stop he kicked you out of Delta channel, and the channel rules state that if you are kicked out, to stay out. You then abused your Community Legend tag to repeatedly come back in after being kicked out again and again. Not only that, but then on his(Boss') Regimental app, one of you reasons for -1ing him was that he removed you from the channel during that event. He had every right to do that, you should know better than anyone the channel rules for the SOBDE channels.

-1 Every encounter I have had with you has been nothing but terrible. You are constantly mingy and lowekey disrespectful when I see you, although I will admit I don't see you super often. Mature up a little bit and maybe I'll change my mind.

8. Structured really well, too bad we got interrupted by your pizza rolls

It wouldn't be events, it would literally just be passive things to do around the server. Or even simulations or shit like that. My whole point was that events SHOULDN'T be the only thing going on around the map or on the server

Lack of quality events is only half the problem. There is an issue on the server of people always complaining that there is 'nothing to do' or shit like that, to those people I have one thing to say; It's an RP server. What I mean by that is people need to get off their asses and create things to do on the server. Do medical check-ups in the Medbay, go on patrol, relying solely on Events to keep the ebb and flow of the server going will never end well. Commanding Officer and BCMDs can only do so much. The server needs more people to start thinking for themselves and start doing passive things around the map.

What about Battalions or Regiments that have their Bonuses as HP/Armor like SOBDE and 212th? Would that be calculated into the base stats as well or are they just scuffed now?

From my personal experience with working my way up through a Battalion(Galactic Marine specifically) and being involved with SOBDE as long as I have been, I would say yes to your first question. Especially considering the amount of people that fail on the simplest things in our tryouts. Most of the time people don't even make it past faces and formations. But everyone has their own view and opinions on things, and I can understand why some people would feel differently than I do. As far as the respect thing, I don't know where this came from. I never said that SOBDE members should be more respected than anyone else. I think I would do a terrible job as a BCMD for a normal Battalion. Too many people to manage and keep track of. I have as much respect for people like Rex and Bacara as I do for people like Boss and Niner. Typically, people inside SOBDE pride themselves on being above-average with most things, and that is a by-product of the difficulty of the tryouts. There are very few, if any cases of someone passing the tryouts and not being at least decent with PVP, Leadership, and well above average RP skills. That does not mean that there are not members within Battalions that excel at these areas, but there is a higher concentration of them within SOBDE. SOBDE members are required to work with their Outreaches pretty frequently. Lately, we've been a little lax because of all the changes happening, having to alter or remake the tryouts every other day for various reasons. We've had to remove a fair number of people recently for either not allotting their time properly to their SOBDE job or failing to stay true to the standards that we hold ourselves to. Within the past month or so we've had to remove 4 or 5 people for a variety of reasons. The tiniest slip ups can get you removed so you have to be on your best behavior most of the time. Again, this doesn't mean that other Battalions don't hold their members to high standards, but I've seen some members of Battalions that have done things that would get them removed from an SOBDE position on the spot.

There is a suggestion up that would make BCMD and Squad Lead equal pay at 800. This was accepted on Wednesday by Joah, just realized. Squad Members have always been payed more than Battalion Officers for as long as I can remember(or at least since we stopped using 50c for everyone back when the server first started) I'm not sure what every Battalion has their members go through to become Officers, but I can assure you that most if not all of them are not as difficult or as tedious as going through any of the SOBDE tryouts. Becoming a Squad Member of SOBDE is way more than just doing some requirements and getting a promotion. You have to really work your ass off to earn a spot in SOBDE, and you have to work your ass off to keep it as well. Whether or not you think the work that people put in to become SOBDE justifies the paycheck they get relative to what other Officers get is something I don't think anyone will be able to convince someone of if they already don't like it.

Think this was literally just denied...hmmm

Still a bug nerd

Bug Type (Server:):Weapon jamming(Event Server) Severity level (1-3):2 Evidence (if you can): Shot my weapons on Event Server last night for deployment and they constantly jammed. Description of the bug: Weapon jamming is still enabled on the Event Server How can we recreate it: Go on Event Server and spam your gun(s), they still jam.

-1 The Jet Packs were so fucking annoying. We don't need people zipping across the map like Sonic again please.

I tried this and it didn't work, so maybe it's case-by-case?

If anything I think it would make more sense to give the Regimentals more pay, but you'd also have to edit pays above it, so pay would look like this; General - 1,000 credits Marshal Commander - 950 credits Senior Commander - 900 credits Regimental Commander - 850 credits Squad Lead - 800 credits Squad Member - 750 credits

can I get an F in chat

So are the other Squad Leads getting their pay reduced then?

Don't seem to see Hunter's pay increase to 800 on here either, just left out by accident? @Joah

I disagree with pretty much everything stated here. The community of Synergy was founded from a bunch of Icefuse Players who were unhappy with what happened to Joah and unhappy with the way Icefuse was doing things. Specifically with their Clone Wars branch. I'd go as far to say that 90% if not more of the people that started Synergy were from Icefuse CWRP exclusively. Clone Wars is what the community was founded on and is what a gross majority of the player base is invested in to. New people come in all the time. The best example that comes to mind is my Wrecker, Greek. He was pretty much a fresh CT when he got into Bad Batch and, while not new to GMod, he was new to the server. He has brought plenty of good ideas to the table and is already a Senior Admin. Saying no new people will come in to bring new and fresh ideas is just flat out wrong. Not saying that branching out into other things would be bad or pointless, but it's hard to justify it when this community has already tried that so many time and ALL of them have been shut down or canceled. You and everyone else have every right to be upset about the way MRP was handled but sometimes shit just happens. It would have been neat to see MRP thrive but at the end of the day this community was founded on one thing; Clone Wars. The thought that not expanding is going to kill the community in a few months is ludicrous at best.

Are you high?

@Joah?

Does this mean that even if an HA build a dupe that is 250 props, that if an SA or VA have that dupe, they won't be able to put it down? If so this sucks big weiner for SOBDE Tryouts
