  4. Chat can get a lil messy + sometimes new players begin to load in or do load in and rejoin making their message not say that they joined for the first time so only relying on that message isn't ideal. I'd personally say I'd prefer to just see CRs in the TAB menu. Everyone is always lurking in the player list anyways.

  7. First Mazen now you I just can't trust mfs anymore
  8. Stats are not the only thing I talked about when announcing 212th getting BOTM. I state them every month just to let everyone know hey this is the work they've done that I can show you. I can't just say they were active, I liked them. In this most recent BOTM announcement I talked about 212th's massive push for in-game engagement and roleplay primarily with a system they pushed out recently in-house that keeps their guys active, engaged, and involved with the server. Obviously I hyped up their recruitment numbers too because they had a crazy amount of recruits a number that Synergy has not seen since like 2019. I'm very open about the reasons a battalion gets BOTM and tbh while 212th has been consistent they had a little dip in recent months and in this last month they made another large push again which was again another reason they got BOTM. Also 212th is not the only battalion to have won more than once. 501st and CG have both one it twice and next month will allow another battalion maybe even 501st or CG to win it again. We did not and do not ever look at 212th and say eh might as well give it to them they are so much large than everyone else and give it to them overall battalion size has nothing to do with our decision. Every battalion is different we don't look at a roster and say omg they have this many people they get BOTM. That just makes no sense. To reiterate what I said on my post btw "have made a large push for in-game engagement and roleplay with their newly introduced Outpost Schedule system, and have been extremely active, engaged, and cooperative with the rest of the server." Not once did I say the only reason they got it was their record breaking recruitment numbers. That was one of the reasons sure but it definitely was not the only reason.
  9. Any competition will create toxicity. Unfortunately that's just human nature. I make an effort to check every battalion discord every month after announcing BOTM to stomp out any negativity I can find as best as I can and I've made an effort to talk to most every BCMD/CMDs in the last year about doing so themselves. There is no surefire way to avoid that and not doing things because people could be toxic isn't a solution either. As for the 212th comments I've made it quite clear in the past that sheer statistics and manpower are not what we look for when choosing BOTM. Every battalion is different. Some pull much larger stats than others especially 212th but that's why nobody can get it originally two months in a row and now we keep it at 3 or at least once per BCMD term because yes if we looked at stats alone 212th would get it most months. That isn't how it works. The #1 thing we look for is improvement and after that we look and discuss whether or not the battalion is promoting activity, roleplay, positive attitudes/mindsets and are striving to be better that month. All of those things typically produce a large increase in recruitments and trainings which means they will have good stats as well but that is not all we look at therefore 212th I think has only gotten it 3 months actually. Nobody is a 2nd or 3rd choice in BOTM. We don't rank it like that. Elitism is cringe and I would hope you would report it to that battalion's leadership if it was happening. If it's the battalion leadership being elitist report it to me. Like I've explained to you before every battalion has different logging systems. There is no universal logging system and there probably never will be as that will force every battalion to log everything the same. Some things we do audit when we get stats and sometimes that has gotten us behind when selecting a BOTM. Battalion Specific Trainings for example we only really count ones with actual attendees but some battalions reward their troopers for even attempting to host their trainings. We're not going to force them to change up their systems for this so when we get crazy stats from someone or if there's a battalion I know that logs that way I'll double check and get a better estimate. Again stats aren't the defining factor regardless. Joint Trainings are the same. Some battalions log joint trainings as any training involving other troopers from other battalions and some only log them as planned events between their battalion and another. In my eyes the latter is a Joint Training but some battalions again log this differently because they encourage their troopers to invite others to their trainings and what not all the time. One battalion owning more trainings than another has no significant impact on BOTM. It does not matter. Again stats aren't the end all be all but it's something we track. Having an extra training than other battalions doesn't really mean they can pump out more it just means they have variety when they do host stuff. 212th even with 1 training usually beats the battalions with 2 regardless so it's really just meaningless having 1 or having 2. The first 4 or 5 months of BOTM was a little bit of a battle with multiple issues with attitude but I'm glad to say since then everyone's attitudes towards BOTM and each other has significantly improved. Yes there will still be people getting upset that's natural but it isn't nearly as bad as it used to be and 212th was never the only one with this issue. I won't lie when I say the whole point of this was the ES deployment. The Hangar and stand were just included in it as extra rewards and I know they aren't crazy cool or anything but that's comparing it to your very own special deployment. I'd love to add more rewards but personally that's all I could come up with but I'm always open to ideas. This is how we've always viewed it. Stats are tracked just to be able to see battalion stats and all that jazz but by no means is that the only thing we take into consideration. Even looking past all that the system just still in my eyes not cut out for Factions. They are very different beasts. Also that would be 12 groups for 12 months and I would like to be able to have some groups get a shot at BOTM more than once and I definitely don't want someone to miss out on it. I don't want a battalion to think oh we got it January that means we cant get it again for the rest of the year. It... promotes trainings... and that's a problem? Requirements were not created because of BOTM. Requirements have quite literally existed for years. Requiring officers to do things also just isn't ridiculous they should be expected to do things regardless. Also I have no control over the return of Event Server so please do not correlate that with BOTM and bash BOTM because of that. Me creating BOTM deployments is what got our foot in the door for ES to return even if it was once a month. Now we use it more than that but regardless the status of Event Server is a completely different topic. I mean I guess sure. I wouldn't say a deployment for your battalion is meager but I can agree with the other two. They were just tossed in alongside the deployment and I would love for more rewards if you've got any ideas. I wouldn't say they're lame by any means the hangar is a way for a battalion to express themselves and a cool hangout spot for them that month and the stand is just a way for the battalion to show off in DB for that month as we have literally 100s of DBs a day. However I don't think the rewards are the problem and I don't think they correlate with a battalion's stats that get BOTM either. It's an interesting angle though and I agree more rewards would be nice but I've got nothing else I can think of and I'm open to ideas always. Also to reiterate the status of Event Server is not within my control so please do not use it as a reason to hate on BOTM. :/ Please elaborate. As the person that spearheaded the selection of every BOTM this year I would very much like to know how our selection process is botched.
  10. Just wanted to see. Regardless Factions wouldn't be included due to the comparison between them and battalions just wouldn't be the same. It's already pretty difficult to compare some battalions with one another Factions just wouldn't fit in. They don't get recruits or host trainings like battalions, which stats isn't the only thing we look at, and every faction is significantly different than the other they'd be difficult to compare to one another even then. Also no offense but Jedi outclass the other two quite a lot because they just have more going for them than the other two. That isn't their fault but it's just how it is. Also there only being 3 factions would not go very good if we decided to implement a separate system for Faction of the Month per say. It would quite literally end up being Jedi every other month getting it. I have toyed around with the idea of making it every 3 months but again comparing the factions to one another isn't easy and it just isn't that simple.
  11. I'm making this post in order to gather feedback and answer any questions regarding Battalion of the Month. I started this at the beginning of 2023 primarily as a way to bring back Event Server deployments at least once a month and just reward a battalion for their hard work that same month. I'm aware the system isn't perfect and I know competitions like this will always have some sort of negativity behind them when people get upset when someone else get's it rather than them but I think it went rather well other than a few bumps in the road. I just wanted to get community feedback on the system or just answer any questions anyone may have. If this is a system that people don't enjoy or no longer want to happen then I can shut it down but if people still want it to be supported going forward that's what I'll do. So if you have any feedback, positive or negative, or any questions please leave them below and I'll be sure to acknowledge and answer them! If you don't want to say or ask anything publicly feel free to DM it to me as well.

  13. I don't think the math is mathing but thanks for being my 1000th post ig
  14. Who got Battalion of the Month for November 2023? 212th Attack Battalion Honestly what more can I say that everyone doesn't already know. 212th has been consistently one of the top battalions for over a year straight at this point with no end in sight. Once again they have achieved BOTM this year and to into more detail on why specifically they hit record breaking numbers with recruits this month, have made a large push for in-game engagement and roleplay with their newly introduced Outpost Schedule system, and have been extremely active, engaged, and cooperative with the rest of the server. This month they got a total of 156 recruits, hosted 204 trainings and entertainments, 56 boarding trainings, 29 joint trainings, and trained 159 new CRs. These stats are beyond amazing and we have never seen recruitment numbers like that in a very, very long time. Continue to go strong 212th as we head into the new year here soon. @KaiserNeiner @Finn @Misfit Clone Recruits Reminder that SGT+ can train CRs which is a huge part of keeping the server running. It's also a pretty proven fact that most new players join the battalion of which their Trainer was from. So keep that in mind when you train people there's a chance that if you are cool enough they might just join you. Seriously 212th have been the reigning champs when it comes to training CRs. Shoutout to them for remaining to be a welcoming and friendly face to new players when they join. More battalions should follow suit! Joint Trainings Joint Trainings are an amazing way to involve other battalions in your trainings, improve relations with them, and try out new things! We highly recommend scheduling and hosting joint trainings with other battalions! BOTM Wrapped 2023 Next month will mark exactly one year since Battalion of the Month has started. I will be making a post in the coming week in order to gather feedback for the system and if it's something we want to continue to support going into the new year. Be sure to keep an eye out for that post and provide any feedback you may have.
