So, with great regret, I am voiding this APP @Jackson @Oxen. The past 2 weeks, I've been in some out of the way cities like Cabool, MO and Quincy, IL. In both of these cities, I could even hold a connection to Google Docs, while on my phone for team speak. My work load is only increasing from here till June. I cannot in good faith, apply for a position on this server when I know I will not have the time. On top of that, I am planning on moving this summer, and need to start focusing on packing and getting rid of stuff now, as i'm only usually home for 4 days out of a month. For someone that is always home that seems like forever, for me that is about 20 days home before I have to pack and leave. Basically, I have IRL stuff I will have to attend to and the Order deserves a full time Yoda. I appreciate every +1, and every person who left feedback, weather good or bad. Thanks for caring about the position, and taking Yoda serious. Both of the current candidates have pros and cons, but are more then qualified to holding the position. Please leave constructive feedback, so when it comes time for the voting, everything can be considered. I will still be around, but my activity cannot be guaranteed for the next coming months.

Woney has done great in the order, and a pleasure to work with. +1 Grand Master of the Order Yoda

==========[ Grand Master of the Order ]========== Steam Name: Cmo4740 RP Name: Grand Master of the Order Yoda Steam ID (SteamID Finder): STEAM_0:0:161869846 Experience: Outside the Order: 101st Captain- I was only a 101st for a couple of months, under BCMD Forge. During this time, the expectations of me, was to help new players transition into Battalions on the server. I learned how to deal with a lot of different players during this time. Though a Captain role might not seem like much work, in the 101st it was a lot of effort. I learned to give people benefit of the doubt, and how to work with people that are Mingy. I helped a lot of people while in this position, to get into the battalions they were interested in. Also teach the basics of being a clone, and start the foundation of a new player to succeed on this server. 187th Commander- My first battalion I ever joined (while on Icefuse then transitioned over to Synergy). I worked from the bottom, on up in this battalion. Here I learned how to host a tryout, lead people in events, and how to manage a Battalion. During my time in 187th, I had a lot of different roles. Starting from Sharpshooter Lead, then to Jet Trooper Lead, last Heavy Lead. I was also part of first ARC trained for this battalion. ARC was responsible for Scout Troopers, and selection of new ARC. These positions, included creating tryouts, managing docs, hosting tryouts, and giving orders to the people under my command. I have led the 187th in events, in this position, and over saw lower ranking officers lead the Battalion in events. Created Sims for the battalion, and ran sims for training and evaluations. 91st CPL- Before the mass exodus to Synergy, there was a time on Icefuse were there was two servers. During this time, you could have a clone on both servers, in different Battalions. On the planet side, I joined the 91st. As I was already a XO on the Venator in 187th, so I could not become an officer in 91st. I was offered a high NCO position, but turned it down, as not to affect the balance in 91st at the time. My time here was spent as a grunt in events. But while in the teamspeak, I like to think I help mentor some of the officers. I gave my opinions on some matters, but had no real decision-making role. I enjoyed my time working with Thexan, and his XOs at the time. They taught me some things, that I could try in the 187th, and I gave them ideas for improvements in the 91st. But overall, my time in the 91st was cut short due to issues within the Community, and the creation of Synergy Roleplay. Vet Admin- As a Vet Admin, I got to give back to the community, that was given me over 1000 hours of entertainment. This experience taught me how to help others out with issues. Also, how to deal with people that are toxic to this community. I have built multiple dupes, and used them for different things. I have built dupes for a lot of different Jedi Trials, and have been health setter for different occasions on the server. I have also helped with white listings, not only for tickets, but for trials within the order. I was also able to help spectate on trials which allows the trial to run more smoothly. The biggest lesson I learned from Vet Admin, was to allow things to be handled in RP first, if available. Also, to not rush to conclusions. I have given training to new admins as well. Now I am Senior Admin, as my activity fell with staff upon receiving Yoda position. TR- Once Synergy became a thing, I knew I wanted to start giving back to the community. Something that was always on my mind on Icefuse, but never pulled the trigger on. I also wanted to be apart of the training program from the start, as I had experience as an XO. As a trainer, it is their duty to train newcomers to the server. A simple task, that hardly is simple. I got to train a lot of newcomers that became long lasting members of this community, and also newcomers that didn’t last 10 sec after training was complete. This gave me even more experience with working with others, and become more efficient at training. Even when they didn’t want to listen. Within the Order: Temple Guard Manager- I became a TGM under Bagel, on Icefuse. In this position I hosted Sentinel and Temple Guard trials. Being in this position allowed to provide input on the Temple Guards needs, and provide Information to the Temple Guards. When the transition to Synergy came, most managers were wiped. I was shortly after put back to Temple Guard Manager and helped build the Temple Guards to where they are at today. I almost forgot to mention, as a Temple Guard, my job was to enforce the rules of the Jedi Order and in rare cases Server Rules. This gave me a large understanding of the current rules and regulations regarding Jedi, and how they are implemented. Sentinel Manager- I received this position, during a transition period on Synergy. It was after False stepped down, and Bobonator was Gate Keeper. Bobonator needed some help with running trials, and before this position I was Temple Guard Manager. Also at this time, there wasn’t any active Shadow Managers. I was given Sentinel Manager, but allowed to host every trial in the Sentinel Branch. This position, set me up for Sentinel Lead. Hosting trials for both sub-branches allowed me to see, that the Sentinels needed a major update to their trials. Sentinel Lead- Sentinel Lead is my biggest accomplishment on Synergy by far. It was an honor to be accepted into the position by the Council. Like mentioned before, receiving this promotion came with a lot of work ahead of me. My plans originally started with just cleaning up all the trials, and adding RP that was more fluent. Also at this time, the Shadow sub-branch was non-existent. I put the best that the Sentinel branch had to offer, into leadership positions. We continuously worked together as a team, and made the Sentinel Branch into the most popular branch. I worked with Padawans within the branch, and paired them with Knights. Which lead to more Sentinels moving up within the Order. I modified the Temple Guard rules & regulations to fit on Synergy. The Sentinel branch had meetings before I was Lead (as per Jedi Rules, all branches must hold a meeting once a week), but there was little to no participation. I started with encouraging my Managers to come to these meetings, so we could work as a team to fix our Docs, and improve our trials. After a month, maybe a bit longer, I opened it up to the whole Branch. So even the newest member can give feedback on our work. Because of all of these improvements, the Sentinel Branch is more active than ever. I set out on goal, which led me to try different people in different positions, which led me to create a team, which led to a lot of hours debating/brainstorming/and working on trials, and ended up with one of the BEST Branches on Synergy. 41st High Jedi General Luminara- This was my second biggest accomplishment on Synergy. When I got this position (just general Luminara), I had a lot going on at the time. Like everything mentioned above (having a long list of changes to Sentinel Branch), I was also Vet Admin. The 41st kept me on my toes. As I had to learn how to juggle life outside the game, bringing life back into the Sentinel Branch, helping the community out as an Vet Admin, and be active with the 41st. Working with the 41st, let me experience working with more people. At times, I helped with sims, but I enjoyed being around for the daily shenanigans. Working with Egg taught me a lot. Egg has a lot of experience running the 41st battalion, and has an amazing team under him. His commanders past and present are second to none. Though they have the spiciest memes on the server, they made the game enjoyable for everyone within the battalion. Also in this position, I got to promote Knights. Which taught me to how to keep track of people I never interact with, or rarely interact with. I also held saber training for Padawans, and sat on the Council. Sitting on the council, taught me how the Order works. It also allowed me to voice my opinions on changes brought to the Council. Yoda- Now there was a lot that went down in the order while I was Yoda. There was animosity among some of the members of council. Now we have solved all of the issues, and working together like a team. We are building the branches as some of the leaders have moved on or moved up in the server. As Yoda, there was a lot of times, where I was second guessed, or believed I was making the wrong choice. Some of those were closing Aces when only LAATs were on the server, taking the community feedback and making Ashoka and Barris Padawans, (upon a directors suggestion and with agreement with RC/Null) ending the allowing of Named Characters within the order to also be RC/Null, and allowing Nightmare to be Shaak Ti. These were hard choices, and they had a lot of people on both sides with strong beliefs. The order today, is moving forward. We are back on track, to improving the Order as a whole. I've encouraged new Padawan tourneys that led to a "floating platform" tournament, which has been well received (thanks Killer). Why should you become Grand Master?: I want to continue from where we are now at this point in time. We have promoted alot of new masters in the past few weeks, and have fresh blood within the order. They are bringing a lot of new ideas. Also, the Order went through a trial by fire on one occasion, and since has brought us together. I did have a rocky start to my first term, but now meetings are ending within a timely matter. Like I mentioned above, we have had alot of new ideas come to council. I also revived the Jedi Suggestion Form, which Council members have brought these suggestions to council. I will continue to consider community feedback, and consider new ideas even when they are not popular. Lastly, I want to improve the RP in the Order, before I leave, and will do the voice, way more often. Do you understand the lore of the Jedi Order (as relevant to Clone Wars)?: Yes. Availability: Prime time week days and mostly all weekends (WHEN I'M NOT IN Quincy, IL with GARBO Internet!) If I am at work, I am always available through Discord. Give a brief overview of your achievements on the server: 187th ARC Commander- XO of the 187th second highest rank in a battalion. At the time, the only way to get higher (BCMD), was for Reaper to leave or be removed (No Terms during that time). I was in this position for about 5 to 6 months. High Jedi General – I was a High General on the server. Once your voted on for a named Character and pass, you get General. From there your voted on by the council for Senior, then High General Yoda and Mace agree. High General is not a rank that is given out to anyone. Nor is there any amount of time that it takes to get it. Its no small feat. Luminara – Named Character, attached to the 41st. Voted on by council. Activity with the battalion affects your ability to play the character. Vet Admin – Veteran Admin. Worked my way from New Admin to Vet Admin. TR – Trainer Basic entry level for training program. Temple Guard Manager – First you have to be a Temple Guard, which is difficult within itself. Then you must be recognized by the Sentinel Branch Lead. Then voted on by council. Your held accountable for every arrest (by Temple Guards), and have control over the Temple during defcons under 6. Sentinel Branch Lead- This is voted on by council. Lead the Sentinel Branch, and mange the Branch. Create docs, and trials for the branch. Generally, have to be in a Manager position before being considered for the position. Yoda- Yoda for one term. Do you have a microphone?: Yes Where do you want the Jedi Order to be at the end of your term?: Council working together. Trials being held on time, branches holding trials on both on western times, and eventually eastern. RP Jedi events, that get Padawans more used to RP with event jobs. More involvement within the Order, which means giving Padawans and Knights more chances to get recommendations, or prove they are worthy of a promotion. How do you plan to improve relations within the Jedi Order between branches?: I assume this means branch relations. At this time, they are very good. Example being if there is a Force sensitive Event Job, cousulars get their chance to RP and bring them to the Order (if it makes sense), if they don't succeed, shadows get their chance to get information that will help the Republic / Order win the war. Moving forward, I would like the branches to help each other when needed. Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?: Yes, of course. Do you understand that your position has a two month term limit and you must reapply after two months to maintain your Grand Master rank?: Yes.

+1 left it up to the players wether they were right or worng. Also gave the possiblity of RP. Didn't see a whole lot as i was building a trial for after, but concept was good, and how it played out shows you can't plan for everything.

Mocaris, i'm going to miss you. You did my training for staff, when i first joined. Thanks for good times. Hope to see ya on your Jedi.

HIGH COUNCIL AGENDA FOR 1/17/2018 Suggestions for changes in the Order (EO) Put Temple Guards back into the Sentinel Branch but still have it open to all that are within another branch of the order. This is so there can still be a clear Sentinel Lead until chosen at a later date. After there is a clear new lead the fate of TG will decided then to either keep it in the branch or have it as its own branch again. - Forge Passes Unanimously Give inactive Perma-Masters separate permissions from normal, active masters. For example, old, inactive PMs obviously did something great for the Order if they got that status, but if they are not active in the server or the Order, and don’t attend the meetings or do anything in anyway to progress the current state of the Order, they shouldn’t be allowed to put things up on the document or vote in the meetings. This penalty would be removed after 2 weeks of being active on the server, and attending the meetings for 2 weeks in a row. This penalty would be put back in place after 2 weeks of inactivity. We need to stop holding these inactive masters who are out of the loop on equal footing to people who are actively doing things in the Order. - Baxter Amended: If they show up to the meeting they can exercise their rights as a master in the order but cannot vote on doc. - Passes Unanimously Bring back old Master Rec Ceremony to acknowledge one's accomplishments in receiving the master rec like for example giving it at a debrief - Wolfro / Eeth Passes Unanimously Recommendations for promotion/demotion/removal (EO) ASVO For Senior Jedi General - Tyzen Passes Unanimously Zyner For Senior Jedi General - Tyzen Passes Unanimously Wolfro For Senior Jedi General - Tyzen Passes Unanimously Master/Branch Interviews Sentinel Lead-Keltor Passes Unanimously Named Master Promotions (EO) Madame Jocasta Nu: Open Bink Utrila: Keltor Passes Unanimously Luminara Unduli: ASVO Passes Unanimously
