That's not a sound mindset to go about things. I'm sorry your experience has been ruined but you don't need to go out of your way trying to ruin it for others. You might be upset but take a second, cool down, and get everything you need. Then maybe you can get someone to help you.

Understandable, but there's ways to go about things. This format exists so they can determine everything that's necessary to know. In order for a successful Staff Abuse Report to be considered, let alone evaluated, you must follow it. I know it can take a bit more time than just typing out your grievances but it will allow you to organize your thoughts for High Staff.

-1 Really, the only thing going for you is that you followed Principal Chambers' deadline. 😕 It's one thing when get banned for making a single mistake such as lashing out at someone because people are always on your back but it's another where it's such a common occurrence that it's not even funny. I'm happy that you're dedicated but unlike pretty much everyone here I'm always operating that people can't and won't change unless they have some epiphany. And I doubt a Garry's Mod server is going to give you that. It's a game, yeah. But every game has its rules -- rules that you broke and were punished for. Do I think you're as bad as other people who have eaten a perma? Not at all. But it seems a lot of the time that you failed to grasp when you were punished whilst still being a member of the community. You may already realize this, but you had your chance, dude. Plus, even protocol wise I really can't see this working. Permabans are permanent for a reason but it seems Synergy's taking on a whole new meaning to this shit. And isn't this your second one? If people keep getting unbanned like that then it's going to create this ever-growing stigma in this community that people are above consequences. Sorry, dude. Still not convinced.

As a man who doesn't wear pauldrons, this insanity needs to stop!

That's because you haven't been here... and the fact that you did it at all is deplorable.

-1 Absolutely not. You have a terrible attitude and have already gotten so many chances -- those being the bans themselves, especially the permanent ones. If this were the second time you've gotten banned and you genuinely took a lot of time away from the server, then I would most certainly consider it, however, you've been banned so many times that it's not something I can look over personally. I feel for the staff members who have to deal with you every time you Mass RDM because they have to feel as if they're making a controversial decision on banning you because of your neurological disorder that you wear around your neck. Your constant threatening of BCMD's, including myself, is not needed nor is it acceptable when it comes to Synergy's terms of service. Do I personally fear that you'll actually do something? No. However, if it were anyone else, they would probably at the very least get a stern talking to from high staff about harassment or just banned right on the spot. This is also you're third ban appeal in the last 30 days which, I dunno, it seems a bit excessive. What really nails in the coffin for me is that you're the 2nd most arrested person on the server with your most recent arrest being on the 2nd of this month. That shows to me that you can't change at all.

The hard work and dedication aspect has never been something that's saved a battalion in the past, sadly. So many legacies get terminated just because it befits the server. There was talk of a lot of people wanting to help Foxtrot, but you would have to sort through the trash of people who actually want to help and people who just want to be Republic Commandos. We don't need anyone in the squad who's in it just for the status in this state. I've seen it personally with the wiping of Base Ops for example; people didn't want to help, they just wanted to be in the ashes if the Directors somehow decided they wanted to keep it around -- making them shoe-ins for positions they didn't deserve. Sadly that's what I could see. You may save Foxtrot and get a full squad all over again, but chances are, only one of the members will actually care about the squad and the rest will literally just be filling the position. In my personal opinion (get your pitchforks ready), I think the amount of Special Forces on Synergy is way too much. Everyone is an ARC Trooper and everyone wants to be an ARC Trooper or Commando because just being a trooper is boring. There's nothing "special" about being elite anymore. I don't want to be on the same boat as the people wanting Foxtrot gone, because frankly it doesn't concern me, but the future is certainly looking daunting.

+1 So I don't see the same damned goofball everywhere.

Shock have their rifle out as part of their uniform until a certain rank. What he means is that it can go off safety in a single click. My push-to-talk button is on my mouse and I remember accidentally booping someone when I just bumped my left click. It used to be it would take many sequential clicks in a row and now it only takes one, sometimes it just takes it off safety and sometimes it straight up shoots.

I'll be working closely with my Officer Corps and looking into the situation. See you soon. -Commander Fox

Yes, that's exactly what happened. Fox should be demoted for this.

ERP is allowed?! What sort of things do you guys get into behind closed doors?

Edit this to the correct format and you'll get my approval. Although there does appear to be a fix with some sort of addon, as one of my previous members didn't have any issues at all with it. Now finding the addon is the challenge.

Krood, you have literally the most explosive attitude I've ever seen on this server. And that's saying a lot considering the people I know from this very community. I still remember that one night when you were arrested twice and then spent your last two offenses trying to kill me with your permaweapons. When the Flamethrower didn't work and you were arrested, you switched to your LD-1 and tried to two-shot me on your next try. I specially remember entertaining this as a possibility and then I remember not being surprised when you tried your last attempt to RDM me, knowing EXACTLY how you would do it. You didn't even care that you were getting banned at the time, only that you had made it your goal to try and kill me before you did. After that night, I remember waking up the next day after your temp ban had expired only to hear that you immediately started pushing your luck from one of my officers, getting banned pretty much instantly as you came back in. This makes me view you as someone who wanted to "go out with a bang". Well, you did. Congrats. But I think it's best that you stay a smoldering pile of ash in the blast radius. You're toxic at the most nuclear level and of course others are going to take the moral high ground talking about second chances because they didn't know you or have to deal with you at all. At one point, you held the title of "Most Arrested Person on the Server" before you were dethroned by the old Stak. You may have changed, and all the power to you if this does get accepted, but I'm not gonna be walking around without reasonable doubt that you won't try to RDM me again just out of pure spite. It's gonna be a -1 for me.

You mean all of Shock?

The man wants to fly. He has dreams of seeing the clouds.

I may be reaching here, but the post you made in "Introductions & Farewells" kind of kills the credibility of this statement. If you have really changed, then I don't think you would make a post about CTs getting arrested with a Ram Ranch parody. This makes you look like you haven't changed in the slightest and only intend on getting in more trouble. Yes, it may be a meme but it's probably not something I would personally have up if I wanted to make a case for myself being unbanned. If the High Staff team can look past this, then all the power to you, but anyone can just say "I've changed". Your actions speak louder than words, and if it's too late, then it's too late.

I dunno, dude. It got ripped apart pretty bad and making something that requires development is gonna be a tough sell for its previous reputation. Right now, the best way it could work is actually getting it approved by Directors and making it a passive branch without the extra job slot. Good luck!

I think that's how it's supposed to be. I'm pretty sure beyond all the edgy ranting and shit, the Sith have their ROE.

This is a very bold move to make, and I'll give you that for sure. However, I don't think they can go anywhere. Let's just look at the facts, the problems when it comes to Sith failing to roleplay stems from the fact that they're utilized improperly. When I first heard about the Sith coming to Synergy I was a bit concerned myself, but it was easy to see where it had came from. A while back, there was a call to make our CWRP more like MRP where the Clones could go up against CIS forces. For what ever reason, this inkling of an idea was scrapped -- probably either due to the poor management of MRP as well as trying to make it more friendly to the Directors as setting up CIS Forces would likely be far more of a challenge than need be. It would basically be creating a plethora of different new battalions for no real reason when a lot of Clone Battalions were hurting at the time. In way, I can still see a concept like this working by downsizing the entire CIS into a few jobs, but it would likely just cheapen the scale of the Clone Wars as a whole. The Sith seemed to be added so they can take up the reins as an adversary to the Republic, making patrols more tense and interesting for the troopers who had decided they wanted to step out of the base. Personally, I like the Sith as a concept and sacrificing the canon for this was a pretty good choice. However the issue with the Sith lies with how badly managed it is right now. The Sith have potential, great potential in fact -- but it's not looked after at all. The people who are currently in charge of the Sith order (talking about people of the Dark Council) seem to consist of players that had resigned ages ago. So, already there's no drive to do good on Sith because the people leading it have no drive to, well, lead it. I've said this to a lot of people and this kind of applies to the Sith, "the activity of a group is directly correlated to the activity of its leader". I'm not saying the Sith need to be wiped, but this is a good thing to keep in mind before making the decision to just remove it right away. This also ties in a bit with their behavior, because if someone isn't there to reprehend Sith who FailRP and do various other stupid things, then they'll keep doing it because of the Sith seeming like an anarchist faction. Plus, countless hours of effort has gone into making the Sith something so just kind of removing them would probably leave a lot of the server's assets really pointless. Maybe we can try a different solution?

-1 Nononononononononono.... absolutely not. You got instantly banned again upon being unbanned. Please, enjoy your retirement. I'm all for giving second chances but hellll no. This is your second perma.

ST is scuffed in general. If you take off your helmet you have a missing texture pattern but it's still colored normally. Not to mention the missing textured hair that affected everyone and the fact that the Riot Trooper's chest pauldron is connected to a bandolier.

+1 Time to become droid main.

I do like the idea, however, why not just remove the weapons that are causing issues? I think a lot of the sidearms, dual side arms and grenades are fine. I'd still definitely get rid of the LD-1, flamethrower, proto Z-6, etc. Basically all of the overly expensive stuff can go, lol.
