  1. 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.
  2. 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. -1
  3. I know this is pretty late to be posting, but I usually avoid +1/-1 for events. TBH I could not get this event out of my mind. We deploy to the event server (Awesome very rare we get to, let alone CTs getting deployed!!!!) Briefing > We all get on LAATs and fly to location > fight npcs while SOBDE hack everything and capture enemy> oh no ambush > fight like 15 more NPCs > Laats come back and we go to DB So far its probably taken me longer to type this up then how long the actual mission part of the event lasted. we shot some NPCs and ran around, great I could go do that on the main server. The purpose of the Event server is to develop a super cool event that couldn't be done on the main server, something special that gets players excited for deployments, something that makes it worth the wait. But when you throw together a TERRIBLE event like that it discourages me, and probably other players from wanting to get on and participate because they are so bad. To put it into perspective this event is like the time waste quests in Bethesda games where you go and loot the same chests and fight the same enemies for some gold/caps/money. Except what you did was took those time waste quests and turned them into the MAIN STORY. You made an event that is meant to be held on main at 1am for the few people on to give them something to do, and tried to make it a prime time event server event. What I dont get (to the people that gave a +1) if this was not considered a "bad" event then what is considered a bad event? gonna go into the specifics now, since I think my random typing rant is over. - Pilots, I dont really care if pilots get to fly or not (cause im not a pilot) but in the end it is the purpose of their job, when positions such as flying are allocated to staff it just pulls a player away from the event who otherwise would have a good time taking command of a bird. - Plot, ? we went to capture some enemies at a base and SOBDE had to hack some data and stuff. That sounds like an encounter more than it sounds like an event server event. Add meaning to the event, why was it important that we captured those people, what data was needed. Cause based on the NPC count that data and those 'prolific' people were not that important, otherwise they would have allocated a TON more resources. Maybe we get to the laats but realize that some of the data is missing or there is one more VIP that needs to be captured and we go somewhere else (dont make event server events last 15 minutes). expand on it, maybe one of our officers gets capped and now we need negotiations for release, or we can just attack the enemy base and save them. Linear boring plots are never fun, when choice is given it adds that extra value, should we risk losing more men and attack the base or negotiate with CIS? The plot carries the event sometimes and really makes it more than what was expected ( especially when the players involved get creative) - One Life, I'm an absolute sucker for one life events, gotta love them! BUT, when only like 2 people die, is it really even a one life event? When you make one life events hella difficult we value our lives, which makes it more of a survive and complete mission than run and gun and complete mission. Then when you introduce options like the negotiations or base attack, where we could successfully talk and compromise on an exchange for our guy, but we lose something, or go in guns blazing with the risk of a high casualty rate. GIVE MEANING TO ONE LIFE. - Battalion roles, similar to the pilots, battalions have different roles, and when you step away and ignore those roles not only do those battalions complain, but it gets confusing because then you have several battalions fighting to do something, when you could just assign stuff at the start and if a battalion needs help they can call for another to come assist. - Effective and quick briefings and deployment, when the briefing alone takes almost as long as the actual deployment it becomes a problem. When you host an event server event you want everything ready to fire. This is the Briefing, here are the laats, pilots are going here, boom we are here done. instead we drag out super long briefings because the goal is not clearly mapped out enough, LAAT deployment should be fast, instead you have 2 battalions that didn't even get on a laat and had to sit at the spawn for another 5 min waiting for another one to arrive, event was already 1/2 way over for them. We want to fight, participate in the mission, the bulk of the time should be spent doing those things, not talking and waiting around to do those things. - Experience, I know you're new and im probably making you depressed because of how much I am ripping into you, but you've seen events happen hundreds of times and you should be able to think hey, is this a repetitive boring event that everyone will get upset about, or will I be the GM that people get excited for when I host and event? Because right now you just seem another repetitive GM who will get little attention payed to their work because of the lacking creativity. Inevitably I dont think that it being your first time can really be used as an excuse. You've had the training (time as a GH) and you applied and thought you had what it takes to move up. But I dont think you do have what it takes, of course time resolves everything and you can prove me wrong (which I hope you do because I would love to see more good events) but as of right now I am left with a horrible impression of your work. Events as a whole - The purpose of the event is to engage the players, give them a battle, or an intense rp situation, something to keep their attention. The best events are the ones I just play and dont want it to end, I want to keep fighting, rping, PLAYING. If you really want to kill events I'd honestly recommend talking to @Daytona211 his events in an old community of mine were fa-nominal and each one was different than the next, sure they had similar concepts, but he made it exciting, had us wondering what would happen next. And most importantly he was organized, was quick about things and got us into the mission asap. gonna be real here chief I just spent about an hour typing all of this up, was it worth it, probably not, was it necessary, yes. I never want to see an event like this again. 0/10
  4. OK now this is epic can we rename CTs to the 35th infantry and add Commander Levet @Tyzen @Stockings@Daytona211 http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/35th_Infantry +1 for actual sug lol
  5. You stole my idea Pythin, dont even @ me I would like this if it was maybe 10 slots, and they just had one weapon (no special classes or ranks) maybe just a Sith Trooper Captain (1 slot) and Sith Troopers (10 slots) +1, Sith just need some support fire, hard to hit Clones on the mountains with sabers also -1 for the Jetpack, that's stupid.
  6. Mike was a good friend, and deserves a chance to come back, he was a dedicated member of the community. Mike served as several Jedi masters, not just any random person gets to that point. Served as a staff member for a time being. Contributed actively to the Synergy community Honestly his downfall was in the late months, he got a little wild and while I agree caused problems, has grown from that and I believe we could get the same committed person from the early months that Mike once was. Our community is not forgiving enough and if we are on the topic of 'Toxic' as a ban reason, then we might as well chop off 80% of the Military rp community. Anyways +1 bring back a valued member of the community!
  7. I originally thought this report was kind of dumb and considered hitting it with a fat -1. But holy shit, this is the worst response ever, you are in charge of the branch, there is always a solution to a problem, it is sad and insulting to people that you would say there are a lot of problems and there is nothing you can do to fix it. that just shows me that you can't step up and deal with problems and that someone else should take over and deal with it. Pointing at the new map and blaming that is also dumb, its not like we didnt know it was being released. there was always time to prepare for it. the best part of this response is that you say you keep getting attacked but you had some people help you redo the eng doc. and had someone else redo the med doc. wtf does that have to do with your performance as a leader lol. just because you edited a couple docs and called it a day does not mean you can ignore other responsibilities and point to that to say you did something. I like you Boutineer but this was a piss poor response, instead of blaming and deflecting and saying you cant do shit, actually present solutions, people dont just post commander reports for fun. there is an issue and you need to fix it fast. +1 unless Boutineer steps up before this report is dealt with and comes up with solutions.
  8. Frecks time on this server shows his dedication to the community, I highly doubt he would go out of his way to take stuff from the people he once had many enjoyable times with. To perm ban someone for the wrongdoings of another because of association is wrong and while I of course dont know the full story as of now, from what I have gathered it seems like Freck does not deserve a ban, although the bans on the people that actually committed the offence should remain as such. +1 Freck is genuinely one of the most dedicated members to the synergy community. Unban him.
  9. Frankly my time with you was you being very disrespectful. Getting aggressive and claiming an area that cant be claimed/restricted was off limits and that the people there had to leave (people included myself, a few new CTs and a couple others) because we were talking near your battalion who was doing training. Clearly if you cant manage to interpret the rules you have no right to be enforcing them. -1 poor treatment of new players tends to be an indicator of someone unfit for staff.
  10. Sadly I cannot back this story up with evidence other than witness accounts because the video clip was deleted but a few months ago there was an altercation which caused Bumblebee to spit out a bunch of shit about me on TS. After talking to him we cleared up the situation and every thing was good. Although that attitude/altercation is enough of an impression on me to show that Bumblebee lacks the stability to keep a clear mind when dealing with situations and instead might jump the gun and go into a 'rage' and just fuel whatever situation he is actually dealing with, making it worse. -1, it has been sometime since this happened but I cant say if your attitude has changed, as I dont see you much on the server or on any other synergy platforms.
  11. +1 Nightmare has been a very dedicated member of our community. Randomly making his perma ban universal without informing him was kind of rude tbh.
  12. HOLY SHIT, this is literally the biggest meme I've ever seen. Literally trying to cause trouble and talk shit even on your farewell post XD. @Stern summed it up pretty well. (damn, y'all deleted Sterns post LOL)
  13. +1 make them faster than CG
  14. RARE LEAKED IMAGE OF DELTA 42
  15. just because you're leaving does not mean this changes anything
  16. why do people always try to police what we can do with +1s and -1s. Restricting people to what kind of +1s they can give or how they word it is stupid. If I think the person would be good in the position I should be able to just say +1, I dont have to defend my opinion. If I happen to care a lot about the suggestion or person applying then after the +1 I would give some reasons to see if I could sway some peoples minds. The point is, if I literally +1 someone cause they have a cat my vote is just as valid as the other peoples in the community, and I shouldnt have to defend my reasons. If I think they are a nice guy then +1 they got my vote. When community members try and police our +1/-1 system and try to discredit 'votes' because they are vague or not important it defeats the purpose of the system. Its purpose is to give the community a voice and a vote/choice for decisions that are made for applications and suggestions. Not to say why we are right to vote our choice and everyone else who voted against us is wrong. -1 Sanchez agrees with this idea and he is a rat so I have to be the opposite. (I know this is not a suggestion but still)
  17. HOLY COW Deadass the dedication this man put into making the 501st one of the best and friendliest battalions on the server was phenomenal. During my time as a CT there have been few battalions that have continuously been friendly to the new players of the server that are CTs. And honestly, I attribute all of that to Quill. He not only made my time as a new player enjoyable but he always balanced the serious rp with having a FUCKING GOOD TIME, which a lot of people on the server have not been capable of. +1 The respect I have of the 501st from you will never fade.
  18. Lighig your attempts at rep in the past were good cause there were fat cats and shit but STOP BEING A SANCHEZ
