@Square you literally only have 1 purpose on the server, to set spawns, and you cant even do that right...

I hope everyone realizes that this probably wont get changed for a few months, and Dream will be able to still finish his term, and if its anything like the last update probably apply for another term...

Name: Sock Monkey
RP Rank: GeneralSuggestion: make 187th an event job battalion
Implementation:
First off this has nothing to do with the activity of the battalion, they are doing good, its just not really a battalion that should be here in the first place (kinda just added cause RyanTR and a bunch of old community members who only joined for like a week and left wanted it). and didn't have anything unique really about them. It was popular a bit at the start and now they've kinda just been dragging themselves along, with no real place on the server.
There is always backlash when a battalion is put up for removal (for good reason), and there are always people who join a battalion because it looks cool, or they like the lore behind it, or the people in it, etc.
To address this issue, we've never really had an 'event' dedicated battalion, a battalion that event jobs could hop on and be used instead of always using the CT job and coloring the job, or just changing a name and using the CT job. I hope this would be enough to keep the people around who enjoy the battalion and dont want to see it completely go, and it will provide a battalion that is accessible to GMs for event ideas.
There is an equilibrium capacity of battalions we should have and I believe that we are over that equilibrium, this will help get us closer
Example Model: If we take all the current battalions (not including CTs, SOBDE, BO, Jedi, HC, Senators, event jobs, or sub battalions) there are currently 11 battalions, if we had 128 members on the server evenly spread out among these groups its about 11.6 members per battalion, with the reduction of 1 battalion (187th) it would change that number to 12.8 per battalion, which is about 1 new member per battalion, which does not seem like a lot but can have a big impact.
It also reduces the amount of higher ranks on the server, as new members will have fewer battalions to join it becomes more difficult to rise the ranks as slots are more likely to be full, which encourages hard work rather than just being the only active or available person to pick from in the battalion.
Currently all other battalions (besides Shock) have a sub battalion, and for a small amount of time 187th did, the 35th, but as we saw it failed and got 'removed' because it could not be properly managed, not to say it could or could not be managed now, but it just adds another incentive to remove because its not even important enough to have a sub battalion.
as mentioned below for the 'Lore:' section, I dont really think its that important on the server, but I also want to point out that 187th is the only battalion with an unnamed commander, and furthermore does not have any named jobs, its literally just 101 slots that have no purpose and would not really negatively impact the server if they were moved out (not really an acceptable argument, but just wanted to throw it out there cause this probably matters to some people I guess...)
Now to touch on the cons, as most suggestions have flaws this one does as well,
we could see all the 187th members jump ship and use their ability to leave the community as a protest of the removal (we've seen it before, and I have no doubt we'd see it now), It also as mentioned above does decrease the options new CTs have when they decide to select a new battalion and they may be set on being 187th and since it does not exist potentially leave to find a server that has it
Overall though, I strongly believe that the pros of making the battalion an event job outweigh the cons, and would benefit the server in the long run: through event options, reduction of a battalion, reduction of HC/Officers, and ultimately just cuts off some 'dead-weight' from the server.
Lore: Lore is not important on the server....
Workshop content if applicable:
(If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development")If you are asking to add or change a job, fill out the following
Add or Change: make 187th event jobs
(Any job modification requires all this information)Job: make 187th an event job battalion (what sub-units (medic, aerial, heavy) get removed is up to HC, just want 187th itself as an event battalion, not all jobs needed)
Slots: x
Pay: event job pay (all 600)
Description: x
Model: x
(Provide the model string if on server Ex. models/player/synergy/cblake/ls_squad/ls_trp/lstrp.mdl (Get this from the Q menu)Weapons: x (If you want a modfication to a weapon/saber you must put the weapon string in the suggestion. Ex. tfa_e5 (Get this from the Q menu)
Other:
There is also the theory that for every battalion added there is a reduction of the population of the other battalions, and the other way around, for every battalion removed other battalions are expected to have a larger population. kinda relevant to this, I dont want to see people post server suggestions to add a new battalion and be like "IT CAN REPLACE 187th" because this is reducing a battalion from the server as a whole, not opening up a slot to add a new one, so anyone that does that is dumb and i'm calling you out rn for trying to argue it...

Name:
Sock Monkey
Suggestion:
Allow the TRD tag to edit server group permissions to the TR branch tags - TR/TRO/TRM/TR of the Week (be able to remove tags of people offline)
Where would this be implemented?:
In team speak, for the TRD tag
How would this benefit the TeamSpeak/Community?:
This would benefit the community because the TRD would be able to remove TR/TRO/TRM from people who have left so if they come back they don't have powers they shouldn't. Also don't want to bother HAs or have to get added to the HA tag every time I want to remove someone
Have you asked for Feedback from others about this suggestion?:
Others agreed I should have access to this and I have received the HA tag from high staff a few times to do this
Briefly explain why this should be implemented?:
So I don't have to get the HA tag every time a TR/TRO/TRM resigns or gets removed from the program/ I don't have to wait for that individual to connect to remove tags, can do it if they are offline

Never thought this would change, glad you guys are trying to be more lenient. the 3rd one is by far the best option, small/petty rule breakings should never amount to a permaban, and should always carry the same max penalty, or lower depending on staff discretion.
@Forseen s tier idea for more serious offenses could not be better put, that's the standard that should be set.
(though high staff will have to determine everything considered a minor and large offense and how long a ban can be for each one so all staff is on the same page)
and for offenses such as ddos, other server advertisements, doxxing, and other things that genuinely cause harm to the server and its players, perma bans can be considered.
+1 thank you guys for moving in the right direction with how you go about bans.
Also would this exonerate everyone in the past who have perma bans for multiple offenses or other not as severe offenses? @Carter

This was my post on the last Egg Gree App (idk why quality is bad, if u click on it, it makes it better)
What I can say from this, is that since Egg has left 41st has not caused as much drama (after logic) but thats not because they got better as a battalion, its because they have fallen off, they've become the same drone battalion as most others, barley active, random officers, not in a good state
... As much as I didn't like a lot of the old 41st members I would sure as hell take the old 41st to the one that exists today... they were a major battalion with lots of say in the community, with lots of dedicated members and many who respected them, but now they are just a battalion that only has survived since Egg left because they are just a lore based battalion, kinda sad....
As I say in my old post, im not a fan of Egg, but he knows how to run a battalion, I just hope that if Egg becomes Gree that it goes back to what it once was (minus all of the bad stuff lmao)
+1 frigg off randoms who are salty Egg is back, its honestly for the best

The only things that should ever warrant a permaban are dox and ddos threats, advertising other communities, exploiting, and being such a burden on the community that real harm is done..
rdming and talking trash in ooc should not warrant that, I'd never want a good amount of this community to become a judge of any kind yall are harsh as hell. regardless of if he was a new member or not if someone rdmd, nitrp and disrespected they would get like a week or two.
there needs to be a standard for max punishments or those who think they have ultimate power will be unjust with bans. and decide for themselves how to ban someone.
This getting entirely denied will set a precedent of higher timed bans for lower crimes/rulebreakings
reduce the ban time to what it should have been in the first place +1

RP Rank: CommanderSuggestion: Remove the "can't refer to order 66" in OOC rule
Implementation: Remove the rule
Lore: --
Workshop content if applicable: --
(If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development")Other:
This rule is stupid...
1st, the obvious reason, OOC literally means out of character, we should be able to talk about whatever we want, we can talk about the original trilogy in ooc we can talk about the sequels in ooc and we can talk about literally everything else referring to starwars, so why cant we talk about order 66???
2nd, we've literally done several order 66 events, imagine being like "/ooc yo that order 66 event was super dope and fun" then getting banned for a week???????
3rd, we can talk about like the holocaust and shit in ooc..... order 66 is not that bad lol?
Overall it just seems like an extremely unnecessary rule that leads to pointless bans
( THIS IS NOT IMPLYING THAT REFERENCING ORDER 66 INGAME SHOULD BE ALLOWED IC, THAT WOULD STILL BE FAILRP)

Fuck dent head staff members who ban w/o investigating stuff.

So there is a HUGE issue I do see with this.. Server Stats, if I have someone with half of their stats on the event server to face off in the BVB they are gonna get destroyed and it will only be fun for the team that has the advantage (yall denied my server suggestion so ur fault) so when it comes to cutting people with low stats I understand that 100%.
Cutting people so it is the best people playing, is honestly sad, I dont think it should ever happen and members should always be able to participate if they have an opportunity (assuming max stats are present). BUT just because it is immoral and should not happen, does not mean it should be restricted, if battalion higher ups decide thats what they want to do, you cant stop them. There are always ways around the system, everyone can disconnect from TS, leave the game, and just have the good people stay on.
-1 its not possible to stop this from happening, and all we can do is frown upon the Battalions that choose to do it.

+1 Extremely dumb and kind of a dick move? Yes. BUT I will say this, he literally joined yesterday and was given no indication of the rule. As far as I can tell, hes a good dude when it comes down to being serious and if he had known the rule he would not have done it. I hope that he can be unbanned or at least be given a reduction.
There is an idea in law, that's called the Reasonable Person Standard
pretty much implies that a level headed person would understand common rules and ideas to be considered bad/ not allowed.
I would very easily classify spoiling movies on a community as part of the reasonable person standard, as any reasonable person would know that spoiling a movie that is widely popular for others is wrong and it does not have to be written down or explained to them.
Some people wait months or years for movies to come out, and for someone to decide to discuss it publicly when it just released is 'fucking retarded'
-1 being banned for 1 month is gracious of the community in my opinion.
(its also sad that y'all actually put it in the CC room as a rule, very unnecessary)

Since you have become a TR and posted your app, you have one whole CC training on record.
Despite community feedback being very positive, I dont believe that you have contributed to our program enough to be considered for the TRO position.
Due to these reasons, this application is being denied.
You may reapply in 1 month on 5/5/19 (or u can just take the exam in a week or so)
(if someone could lock and move this that would be swell)

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?
I'd assume you would just have whatever your increase is? that's why I proposed a 400 health increase to all jobs and 250 armor, so if you had 200 health from base and bonus then they would just add 400 more from that.
Since bonuses are already in place on the event server everything will just be increased the same on each job so bonuses would stay..

Name: Sock
Suggestion: Remove event server skill points for health and armor
Edited Addition: Since we would have to delete all the skill points, I would like to argue that even though Jump and Speed will be lost on the event server, that is actually a good thing. It means that gamemasters will be able to make more intricate events that take longer to get through rather than just getting plowed through by quick boys. Will make the event server based on skill for BVB and make events actually challenging and a little more difficult than what it is currently.
Implementation: remove skill points for health and armor and instead give every job a 400 health and 250 armor increase. (Only on event server).
With the current set up it is really disheartening and unenjoyable to an extent, for newer players in the community (who dont have max health and armor). to hop on to an exciting 1 life event to get instantly 1 shot and have to leave, or to not be able to participate in a BvB because their battalion does not want to lose, so they get cut. By equalizing the event server health and armor it allows for everyone no matter how new or old to have a good time, without the restriction of credits and time.
This will not impact main server skill points, those will remain the same. Assuming it's possible, jump and speed skill point upgrades will also remain on the event server!!!!
Lore: N/A
Add or Change: 400 Health and 250 Armor increase for all Republic jobs.

Bans after 4 arrests is dumb.
Age should not matter on a staff app for a garry's mod server
Jek was the best founder
Delta 42 should get added
101st will never exist
The 187th model looks like ass
MRP was a money grab
Adding another server to the community will pull from CW players
Sith being added was not a bad idea
Game masters need to let accidents happen on events and not flip out when a laat takes off early or a rp situation turns into a shooter too quickly.
VIP Gamemasters are a trash idea
Event jobs should spawn with toolguns
Jet troopers with flamethrowers ruin events
( Some of these are exaggerated or for the meme, interpret as you may)

28 minutes ago, 41st Logic said:
so I invalidated only LOA's pertaining to Jedi, Sith, Baseops and minecraft.
First off invalidating LOAs is dense(unless 2+weeks/multiple recent LOAs), but I guess you have a right to do it, albeit a dick move (pertaining to people who are still on the server just playing other jobs). But doing that to LOAs of people who are just burnt out the Gmod and are instead playing Minecraft is the most ridiculous thing ever. You should never threaten the members of your battalion with revoking LOAs in the first place, if I were in the 41st that would be a fat red flag to join a better battalion.(( This is not to say I am defending people who are hella inactive, then go on a super long LOA then come back only to continue to be inactive, I think they should be removed))
Ultimately though this is not a means of removal/action so -1 on the disciplinary action, but you'd be smart to reevaluate those 'invalidated' LOAs and get on better terms with your men or your battalion will get even worse.
Lastly for those of you defending this invalidated LOA thing, I hope you know if this becomes an acceptable practice among high ranking officers and BCMDs im holding you guys accountable and wont sympathize if you complain.

Besides yesterday, early September was the last time you ever trained a CC (you also filled out the CC form wrong,# of CCs trained means the current session, not total)
You should have not even been able to do the most recent TRO exam (JBs fault
) since you have not been a Current TR for two weeks (you joined back on the TR discord on Wednesday without getting retrained)
You talk about how you would leave events and stuff to train CCs, but even in the old CC documents it only looks like you've only trained about 14 people total over the course of several months.
Continue the effort you put in yesterday training CCs and you will literally learn the exam by just repeating it over and over again and you'll pass it with a high score(make sure you meet the 2 week requirement to take it though), but
Due to these reasons, this application is being denied.
You may reapply in 30 days on 3/5/19
(if someone could lock and move this that would be swell)

First off I genuinely hate perma bans (unless hacking/chargeback/threatening members of the community)
But from the time I joined the community to when you were banned I had a whopping total of 0 remotely good experiences with you, time and time again you led attacks against me, and I had considered leaving the community from it at the time, not epic.

Removed Battalion Event Job
in Denied
Posted · Edited by Sock Monkey
Name: Sock Monkey
RP Rank: General
Suggestion: Make an event job called republic trooper, and whenever a battalion is removed add a few models as body groupers to it.
just tryin to get clone event jobs so events can be more fun (no toolgun colored clones) and if people have a connection to the battalion they can at least have some release of pain knowing their battalion will still be on the server in spirit as an event job.
Also will feel less like we wasted money on a model as it will still be put to use.
Implementation: Make event job
Lore: N/A
Workshop content if applicable:
(If no workshop content, suggest a developer or put "Require Development")
If you are asking to add or change a job, fill out the following
Add or Change: Add Event Job
(Any job modification requires all this information)
Job: Republic Trooper
Slots: --
Description: Any republic trooper of removed battalions gets added as a body group model choice
Model: Any model of removed battalions (not all just a select few at HS/Intel discretion)
(Provide the model string if on server Ex. models/player/synergy/cblake/ls_squad/ls_trp/lstrp.mdl (Get this from the Q menu)
Weapons: DC-15a DC-15s
Other: Dont let our neglected battalions leave the server forever!! (91st will be first battalion added ofc)
