So my official vote would be to have more Serious RP especially during events and trainings like others have stated above it has become lackluster during events and almost every time and event occurs no one has no idea what is going on. the GM just goes with the flow and it becomes a hold CTRL, and left click event. Communication amongst other batts, is almost GONE, like no one hardly ever communicates with each other anymore, everyone seems to just do their own thing and I think, like Mavelle said rebranding is definitely something that needs to take place.
I know I had a short Gree term but one thing did come out of it which I was very proud for, I noticed that 41st wasn't the best at rping or when an opportunity came up no one had any idea of what to do, or what to say ie the "/comms droids outside main gate" that mavelle stated. so I started to enforce amongst other HC of 41st what I called the 7/10 rule. Oshava and Chysko have already talked about it on the post bc, it was in fact very effective and I will go into detail what it means and how maybe other BCMDs could enforce it as well.
The infamous 7/10 rule:
It's really not super hard to implement, the 7/10 rule is enforcing 7/10 "RP WISE" during events and trainings and as well as normal interactions with other battalion, aka while you are joining the server an RP SERVER you will / have accepted that "YES I WILL BE RPING TODAY" so we stated in 41st that if you are in game you will stay in character while you are on the server, UNLESS: you are in TS and no event is happening aka Battle Comms are not active. Second your battalion is doing a training with itself. So basically we made it where if your battalion is doing something on its own you could mess around a little more because you are trying to make friends and battalions want their members to have fun when they join. So essentially if there was interactions possible with other battalions aka like meeting in the lobby or in the CY etc, you were told to stay 7/10 and maybe that sounds cringe to you but it worked and was PROVEN effective in the battalion. You can name it what ever you want but I saw people as Gree grow into some amazing rpers and most importantly just grow overall in the server. enforcing that made relations with other battalions so much better because you showed general respect to them and didn't walk up "what up gang tryna run a training with me" it was "excuse me sir, I am a SGT in the 41st and I was wondering if some of your troopers would like to run an attack and defense simulation in the citadel" MEMBERS were literally walking around saying those things during this rule / concept we had in place, it was amazing, not to mention people were motivated to participate due to some incentives we had IE RPer of the Week. we gave people a purpose to RP and if someone didn't know how we helped them be more creative.
Overall something like this can only happen from HC in the Battalions and especially HC on the server. I prob will be dogged for this but oh well gonna say it anyways: I am in no shape or form perfect in my performance I would say I definitely haven't kept my RP 7/10 myself lately, yet I strive to every day to be an impact to people positively and try to encourage others to RP. I know my time as Kit Fisto impacted a lot of people and people STILL tell me to "use the voice" might even have to tutor some people someday because its not so easy... @Conrad but hes on a new chapter anyways now LOL "SKY-Guy". Okay my point is, server leadership has joined the server several times bc ofc why wouldn't they and in my case I have noticed that HC of the server still doesn't keep the RP in their mind sometimes too. If they were to enforce more of a serious rp, which as looking at this feedback most of the server supports, people would be more encouraged to participate and HC of battalions would start "hopefully" following them as well.
It starts small, ENFORCE absolutely PTS is active in DB and even if its a senator and they talk out of line give them that warning, when people see CG do their job in something like DB they will get more respect from the people who actually care about RP and people also will learn "crap this actually will get me arrested" and it will go back to the only people talking out of line might be a Minge CT running up to the stand. < this even for me has bothered me, only person who should talk out of line should be the person running the DB in case he messed up or needs to say again who's PTS it is now.
Another thing for High Command: You guys are looked so highly upon to so many people on the server. i know when i first joined and i saw a Founder was online I had to sit up straight and try my best when they were around because their opinion to me at least mattered to me. SO High Command most of you do a great job but if you guys join the server, RP with people, RP scenarios people will look at that and be like okay that's so cool and learn from you. HC when you are on evoke rp with other battalions if you can and when an event starts make sure people are doing what they should be and oversee what others are doing and interact with a battalion you see not getting much love.
Alright that's enough from me
PS: If RPing more would limit you aka you wouldn't wanna participate you are playing an RP server IDK what else to say to that...if it limits you, find ways to be more creative, if you're a lore character look up ways they acted. If you're not a lore character do your best and if you want guidance go to someone like Mavelle that man speaks English in RP so...
