Sock Monkey

RP Name: TRM CT ARCL Captain Sock Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:73872736 Suspected Player's Name: Patrick/"DELTA 42 Pilot Fang" Suspected Player's Steam ID (If applicable): STEAM_0:0:230244062 Rule Suspected Player Broke: FailRPing as a job that does not exist. Explain to us what happened: For the past two days know, Patrick has run about the ship as "DELTA 42" a job that does not exist and has not been approved in the server suggestions. The situation arises that Boss and Regimentals "approved this" despite decisions like this needing to go through the server suggestions. The clear plausible explanation as to why Patrick has this ridiculous position is obvious and absurd. yet for some reason I am told by his protectorates that I need to "go to someone else". Unfortunately I didn't get screenshots immediately cause I expected him to change his name and move on but apparently he is also planning on paying for a model for DELTA 42 who once again, does not exist. The only laughable argument I got as to why this is allowed is because I am a ranked CT and I have ARC training? Which is irreverent to the argument and an attempt to compare two different situations that don't correlate. Really this situation is Patrick getting away with failrp as a makeup rank and job which is unacceptable. If we are a community that is gonna allow people to get away with shit cause of FEELINGS and overstepping rules and boundaries that are in place then thats fucked. I will repeat once again, DELTA 42 does not EXIST and CANNOT be approved by "Boss and Regimentals" without a server suggestion so if Patrick continues to walk around as such then it is FAIL RP and he needs to be met with consequences. Evidence (If applicable):

shit if we are gonna start banning people for trying to find fun things to do on the down time of the server then y'all need to ban like 3/4ths of the community. +1 Video that @Kohn posted on another thread looked like everyone was enjoying it.

I think getting banned for getting arrested too many times is a dumb rule. +1 I only was there for the brig occupation but they did call sobde to come interrogate and I guess you played it out rather than just be stupid.

If this is his first ban appeal ever then it shows progress, even if he has been banned a lot in the past he never had made an effort to get unbanned as he minged, at this time he is asking for forgiveness and to once again play on the server normally. worst case senerio he gets unbanned, does something stupid, gets banned and never comes back. +1

Why should we judge a member of the community on their age rather than their character and contributions to the server. The age requirement is simply an unneeded barrier that makes it harder for younger members of the community who want to do good to have a chance. We have staff applications for a reason we have interviews for a reason These are not just formalities, they are to see if the community wants them to be part of the staff team and to see if the staff team want them to be part of the staff team. once again I reiterate that the age requirement is stupid. Although I do think that staff have the right to deny an app for being young/immature. Giving younger members at least the chance to apply does not hurt anybody and only has the opportunity for the staff team to have more willing and active staff. +1

+1 driving new players away is NOT EPIC

Name: Sock Suggestion: Make it so hostile NPCs automatically do not attack CIS event jobs, and instead friendly NPCs can target them Implementation: I think you'd just adjust the code for the jobs abit Lore: CIS droids typically wouldn't attack allied droids 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: Change Job: All CIS Event jobs Model: NA Weapons:NA Other: So to kind of word this out a bit more, if possible it would be a lot easier for gamemasters and events to flow more if all CIS event jobs were automatically 'notargeted' by enemy NPCs and instead they could get targeted by friendly NPCS. scenario: Droids are fighting clones in MHB, droid NPCs are spawned in and there also happen to be friendly clone NPCs spawned in to help out in the defense, when a player Event job droid comes in all of the droids continue their fight against the clones instead of targeting the droid player, and if the droid player gets too close to the clone NPCs they fire at him/her instead.

I honestly agree, Dill this was the last straw you come on time and time again to screw around and fail rp > : ( it makes me so angry and ruins the server for me. Cutie points and kissing other troopers is HOMOSEXUAL and should not be allowed on this ship. -1 Dill you are part of the cute boys club now, also you are the cutest boy on the ship tbh. EDIT: Neither of us were banned or even questioned...

;-; oh, is that bad or something. +1

I like this theme better, old one was gross

Instead of saying "show me proof" actually explain the situation from your perspective and give an insightful argument as to why you either purposefully or accidentally killed someone. Using this argument makes you look pathetic and frankly it shows you are unfit for a staff position +1 to the report...

-1 sometimes defcon 5 and 4 are so incredibly long and we get bored walking around so we line up to look presentable then March in all cool when it's called and get good seats. no point in blocking it off or getting upset at those who do it.

Free weapon confirmed?

Server enjoyment & playability > lore -1

CCs desperatley need new models, so they, along with CTs, are being expedited to the top of the list.

why add an extra step for high staff and a wait time for the applicant rather than just allow any age to apply then if they are young, HAs can get together and discuss, rather than make the applicant wait around for permission, would be same thing just dealt with when the app is up. and remove unnecessary steps that just waste time.

if these 10-12 year olds with tempers and issues are getting past the forum application and the interview I think that falls on the staff that accept/approve the application and they should be held responsible for accepting unfit applicants. (only this paragraph is a response to korm, rest is toward the age restriction) An age restriction should not apply ever, as anyone of any age is capable of being an amazing staff member, or the most abusive staff member. In the end the interview and community interactions should give a proper view of the individual and how capable they are/can be as a staff member, not the age or maturity level. +1 it is not really necessary to have an age restriction, and just makes it harder and adds an extra step for young applicants. I still believe that an application can be denied for age or immaturity if the community/HAs see the candadite unfit for that reason. But not even allowing them permission to apply without a form of high staff consent is not needed.

You're trying to close up and ignore all other arguments because REEE PAST ASTROMECH RP EXPERIENCE WAS BAD AND NOBODY SHOULD BRING IT UP REEEE. When you should be acknowledging that the argument of better Rp is not enough to convince us that more Astromech jobs need to be added. I fixed my original -1 post to not include past Rp experience, but your relpy was simply stop thinking about past experiences. You did not defend any other points I had and only focused on the one you could defend. To me its not the past experience that makes my decision and that was only a small part of my argument. You're acting like anyone who -1's and brings back a past experience is completely wrong and I believe they have the right to consider and bring up the past because adding astromechs could quickly become what they expected and just dont want to take the risk.

Having astromechs like everyone has said can be mingy and sure we can stop it. but there is also just a layer of absolute cringe, especially if there are battalion astromechs ugghhhh. In some cases already R2 gets either worshiped as a God and they all follow him around or they shun him from the bunks (501st) and he just sits out there making astromech noises, which just makes for absolutely terrible RP (And thats only one Astromech who roams about the ship barley cause he is inactive to the job which means more astromechs would make it even worse). When people run around as droids there is a thought that they can be goofy, where they are not breaking any rules or doing anything necessarily wrong but they are just annoying and then they get really annoying. This becomes a conundrum as there is nothing we can do to stop it and we just have to accept it (annoying Astromechs) because there is technically no rules being broken. I get how it will enhance RP and sure maybe somebody could pull through and do some good RP as an Astromech, but I think if anything it should simply be an event job at the most. As when we are on the down time in the ship (defcon 6) there does not need to be astromechs zooming about and being distracting and annoying. There also needs to be rules that the staff would have to create, are the astromechs allowed in the restricted rooms? how can we identify a droid that is the republics vs a hostile astromech? Do astromechs hold a rank of troopers? What kind of rules should be made regarding astromechs exclusively? Who decides who becomes an Astromech? Ultimately there are just too many complications and I do not believe that a chance to have some good Rp should be the factor in weather or not we add astromechs as too much more goes into this idea. -1 No matter how good the RP is or how little we focus on Astromechs it will end up just becoming annoying and stupid.

+1 Like Conrad said, punish abuse.

We cant determine the line between an innocent joke/criticism and hate speech. Hypothetical situation, if I am training a CC and they are Russian (CYKA sterotype) and I go in /ooc Russians are so stupid, is that hate speech, or am I just annoyed at the specific individual? Ultimately cases of direct racism such as the N word, direct disrespect, etc. and honestly I doubt someone would even get banned for saying something like Cracker (while referring to someone else) even though that becomes a double standard are what this post is referring to, yet there is no level of "horrendous" for each word so there is no way to justify a long ban for one or a short for another, multiple counts is a different case though and because of this... I believe dealing with all cases using a 7 day ban is just, because it does not give room for bias or how "bad" the word was, just a simple ban. Typically if someone is saying extremely vulgar stuff, they say it several times in advert or something and that builds up the ban, so if its a one time offence it shouldn't extend to anything more than 7 days. Referring to the "dumb movie" ban for 30 days, when someone gets excited for months on end for a movie to release it sucks to get it all ruined by one simple message. This is much bigger than "offending" someone on the internet and rightfully has an extensive ban. -1 keep it at 1 week ban. (its late so idk if this all makes sense completely, ill re read it later and touch up things if needed)

@Andrews53 @J.Jefferson Apologies, it was a friend of mine, I was just ranting to him cause he was my 2nd lead CT Commander from another community and I noted how most of the initial +1s were 41st members and that I dont really engage much with the 41st and I was confused why they were not a big fan of me/ concept of CT ranks. Then he went out and made the post. (Not an alt, but also not member of the community)

Y'all search for the stupidest things to get upset about, I dont believe I've interfered with any battalions, and this is clearly because you're upset that I have a rank as a CT. If you really believe that I don't deserve to help the CTs then thats fine, and if this gets accepted then I will just go back to being a CT PVT, but by doing this I will also be deprived of helping with TR training, pursuing ARC, and all other skills required of higher ranks. Solely because my choice as a player is to come on a server and not join a battalion, kind of ridiculous that you're trying everything you can to limit the CTs. If you're so desperate for recruits that you cant bear the fact that 2 members of the server are higher than PVT in the CTs then you need to rethink how you run the battalion and how you conduct tryouts, as battalions who are respectful and nice typically have higher populations. (I dont believe that your battalion is struggling at all, and I dont believe my rank has impacted your numbers or other people new to the server seeking to join a battalion) If there is a valid argument that I've made the server worse than feel free to criticize me, but by leading the CTs when there is an event is simply an effort to keep them organized and to further build a reputable CT force, as I believe it is my duty to be an example to new players, and provide them a leader to follow until they ultimately determine the battalion that they wish to join. " I am suggesting this because there's no point of joining a battalion if you can get promoted in CT." The only people who have been able to promote CTs are Generals, and at no point do I believe that I or any other ranked CT should have the right to promote troopers, as I agree they should be joining other battalions, but at the same time this argument is kind of dumb, as people who join battalions are seeking more experienced reliable and consistently active players, ultimately its all up to what the player wants, so there clearly is a point to joining battalions besides for ranks (unless you think the only thing battalions are for, is for ranks?)... Anyways, I dont think that a player should be limited to their choices and be forced to join a battalion in order to hold a ranked position. And so far, the CTs have consistently been fresh players, who typically join a battalion almost right away, so what has been in place has not caused everyone to just sit around in CTs. "CT's shouldn't be a permanent battalion it should be temporary until you find a battalion." Once again I mostly agree with this, the CTs are mostly for inexperienced or new players who are seeking to join a more organized battalion, but that does not mean that the CTs are not allowed or shouldn't have leadership within them. I pride myself in being able to grab a group of random CTs during an event and have them run around and hang out with me as it creates fun bonds, and when they eventually join battalions I get to see them grow from the random CT they first were, this experience is always fun for myself and all the other CTs on, as well as other battalions who like seeing the CTs holding a firing line or being organized while fighting in the MHB rather than running about the ship. "all CT's who have a rank" All Two.... Sgt Lighter, and myself...(not a very large part of the community) Ultimately if you believed that you could post this without me throwing everything into this, then you are mistaken, as I am proud to be a CT and no matter what happens I will continue to stay in the CT battalion, your obstacles are feeble in the ultimate transformation of the CTs and hopefully you and anyone else who agrees with you will see in the future that CT leadership has positively impacted the server and will if removed, then the CTs will quickly go back into the unorganized and poorly reputable group that it had become prior. Overall massive -1 it saddens me that people draw so much anger and resentment towards the successes of another....
