So just recently, I joined this server probably about a week and a half ago. Of course I started out, just like anyone else, a new shiny CT! Immediately, I started getting constantly harassed by those annoying battalions that constantly spam the shit out of /advert and /comms doing tryouts. I didn't enjoy being asked every 5 minutes if I was interested in said battalion. So, I met up with the highest ranking CT on at the time. It was SGT Sock . I asked him for the 411 on what battalions are cool to join. He hooked me up with what battalions would be the best fit for me. I also asked him about the specializations that some people have in their name, and he also helped me learn more about them and what they mean't. So I went on the complete a number of specialization trainings just to do them. Thanks to SGT Sock, I was able to learn more about the server and join the battalion that I'm in now.
Now, as for this post in particular, it's too obvious that this post is passive aggressively calling out Sock and Mike. The only 2 ranked CT's aboard the Venator. Occasionally there are people who keep their rank because they're switching battalions, but we all can really understand that this post is directly primarily at Sock. If you had any real balls my friend you would actually call them out with an @ in stead of just writing a subliminal post about 3 CT's with probably higher ranks than you.
As for my opinion the subject at hand, I believe that having a rank structure among the Clone Troopers is a great idea! There are practically no consequences of the matter so the opportunity cost is relatively low. Even at the moment the only person who has a rank with slight power is Sock. All the pros of having a few CT leaders have been listed throughout this thread. Remember everyone was a CT at some point. When you see someone working their butt off and being a valued member of the community on and off the server, what are you gonna do? Not reward them with an online rank in a Garry's Mod Star Wars Role Playing server? Top Zozzle.
