Name: Jax Suggestion: Remove all of SOBDE, not a fucking smidge of it left. I have been a part of the community for around 2 years. Throughout the time SOBDE has always had a recurring issue with favoritism and toxicity. Having a four man squad is bound to have problems; most of the times the squads are close friends on the server. THIS is not a bad thing, however the friends mess around and eventually it grows and grows and leads to full rock hard mingery. Each generation of SOBDE has not been completely 100% minge free, sure some eras have been better but the same problem has always been consistent. The elitism that having a seperate group promotes toxicity between clones, yes it is retarded to say no one should be on different levels, BUT it has proven to be more of a problem than its worth having. SOBDE on Icefuse went through countless wipes, NULL has been wiped on here, and now the RC has been wiped. Implementation: Literally nuke that shit off the server. Lore: SOBDE were divided from the regular Grand Army of the Republic. Workshop content if applicable: N/A

again? *sigh* unzips pants +1

+1 I was in contact at the time with Jayarr when most of the incident went down, his actions were done in anger without thinking all the way through. I've talked to a few times and played games with him since his ban last year, he has obviously felt remorse and realized his actions were idiotic and in the moment. He has definitely learned his lesson. I strongly doubt that he has any malicious intents and regrets his poor decisions.

Change it to this

The issue i'm seeing is everyone saying you don't know the full story to everyone. Well what the fuck is the full story then? Why is everyone being so god damn vague about it? Its pretty fucking ridiculous to say peoples opinions are wrong and they don't know the full thing when your being vague and refusing to tell it.

Trust me Ike, building is pretty much like legos. Just watch it on youtube step by step and you'll turn out fine. I went from having no clue about building PCs to having built my own in like 3-4 hours.

-1 Battalions heavily based around RP on the server just don't work out unfortunately.

bruh thats like having a kid to save your marriage. 99% of the time it ends miserably.

What draws the line of instigating and just speech is the question though, and to be honest, I don't have much trust in the equal enforcement of this.

+1, Naval/Base Ops has consistent issues for a long ass time now, if they were a regular battalion they'd be removed. No need to keep around the glorified door boys. Give power to commanders like it was on Kachiro a long time ago, and it'll be fine.

jason bourne fox my real name = jackson, most people just call me jax so i used that nickname here.

lol gay

yeah dudes its the I before E except after C

+1, For people saying GM powers shouldn't be given out so freely, You're right they shouldn't. But, no where is it intending for it to be easy to gain these powers as a rigorious trial period with limited capabilities for people to become a fully fledged GM would come with this most likely. On top of that, the same arguement applies to staff, gonna be real any dumbfuck could get New Admin as long as they're mediocre liked. It works for staff program with NA as a sort of trial period, why wouldn't it for GM?

Something odds happening here, I think we gotta call the ghost busters.

#bringbackRM that other battalion that had ALL the lore

/me tiptoes in my jordans

I can severely relate to this topic of this post, as some of you may or may not know while I was XO of 104th me and fellow commander @Banjans had severe rough anal sex every week day. I would always leave the mic on so that I could command the troops at the same time while focusing on Banjan's huge muscles. I remember @Chop and @Turbine looking on in fear, but alas its fine because I always pulled out. Did I give Banjans privilege in exchange for rough hot sex? Maybe.The point is that @BlackiSblack wanted to join in on the orgy, but as an unbiased XO, I told him that all Banjans cummies are mine.

" YOU MAY NOT COMMENT ON YOUR OWN COMMANDER APPLICATION AFTER PUBLISHING IT UNLESS ANSWERING A QUESTION YOU WERE SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS ON. OTHERWISE, COMMENTING WILL DISQUALIFY YOUR APPLICATION." Uhh, I think you just a broke a rule about applications there buddy. -1 Anyways, you haven't even been in the "high command" of a battalion yet. It'd be nice for you to at least have experience being one of the "top dogs" in a battalion before, although you don't do this much as most battalions are self-sufficient, it'd be best for you to have that experience when aiding a battalion.

Fat +1

Tbh its easier than being a NCO. Obviously not in all cases, but most from what i've experienced and see it was a glorified officer that acted as a babysitter who usually didn't even need to be there because most of the time the battalions can run on their own.

As a former regimental heres my opinion: 1. Regimental is an end game position pretty much. If you get there that means you've been playing for a long ass time. Because of this, its very likely to get burn out after spending so much playing and grinding for the position. 2. Most battalions are self sufficient. Obviously there has been a few clear times where there was issues, but for the most part it was just running trainings and interacting with battalions. 3. Regimental is a lonely position. You can hang out with your battalions, but its not the same as being in them. Your pretty much running it solo. On top of this, people will treat you differently due to your position. You don't feel like you fit in anywhere. Its weird ordering around battalions full of people you didn't know existed until you got the position. People will treat you different due to rank, and most of the time you're the highest clone rank on with no one to keep you in check. 4. Yes you have power as regimental, but in all honestly you don't. Making major decisions for battalions or even minor ones will instantly have many people antagonize you for being too controlling or "power hungry". You have power, but using it most of the time is a poor decision. Going back to another point, most people don't like a stranger from another battalion moving up and having power over them even though they know nothing about the battalions "tradition" or style. 5. Most of the people going for regimental are doing it to escape burn out from their battalion position or are going for the power but then realize its not all that grand. The position is what you make of it, and its hard to make it good because of the servers culture. In all honestly as others have said, its not just a "fixable problem". Most of the issues stem from the server culture and thats something that will take a long time to change. THIS so much. I swore of the staff team when I joined synergy and it was a annoying hassle to do my job and run trainings when you had go through the process of getting an admin, getting the right dupe, and then getting people to show up. Also adding another thing I saw and liked from Quill's post. High Command just feels like being a glorified officer. You have one of the highest ranking and hardest to get titles on the server, but in all honestly it the work is probably easier than being a seargant getting recruits. Theres nothing to really do beside do the same monotonous stuff over and over again. When I first got the position I asked @Fizzik for advice. He told me do something different and new that would stand out from previous regs. Thats what the server needs, more innovation in high command to create better systems and more overall enjoyment for everyone. Damn another edit theres so much to be said: Yes, once you hit the rank its a what do I do next kind of thing. Its the end of road and the pathway isn't as clear as rank up as much as possible. Theres not work being handed you be done, or clear goals when all of your battalions are thriving. Obviously make you regiment the best you can be! But how does one do that? Training and training over and over again, and encouraging recruitment. Basically high command feels like being a babysitter for a teenager. They don't need one except for the rare times they're being idiots.
