Merrill

Name: Merrill Helpers: Ganar Story Summary: Due to some recent budget increases, the Republic base received an interesting addition to their base: an experimental modular cannon, useful for both anti-air and long range artillery. Result of the Event: The cannon was assembled properly and the base had a blast testing out its functions on some training ships and droids. All ammunition was used up however, so the cannon will be unuseable for the time being. Style of Event: Passive RP

5/10 Confusing event that wasn't too evident it was actually an event. Originally, we thought it was simply just some Sith from the temple heading out to attack. There was also not too much going on from what was seen at the clone base.

Name: Merrill Who helped (If applicable): Elijah, Omalic, Synister Event Name: Framing the Clones Summary of the story: A CIS general tried to frame the Republic base of stealing some Sith Holcrons in order to draw all the Sith, Jedi, and Clones into one place and weakening them before wiping them out. What was the result of the event?: The General did not account for the sith being preoccupied and decided to attack anyways. However, an early warp left his droids behind. Meanwhile, SO kept a Holocron to use as a trap for the Sith, but its terrible influence on the world around it began to summon spirits of the damned to defend it's knowledge. Once in Jedi's hands, it was destroyed to remove its powers once and for all. Was this more of a role play oriented or "shoot em up" oriented event: Mixed

10/10 Fun, tense event. Good action, careful planning that worked nicely.

Name: Merrill SteamID: STEAM_0:1:223673880 How long have you Played on the Server [Hours]: 342 Hours Approximately From 1-10, what would you rate your knowledge of the Clone Wars?: 8, I know many of the hostile relations between the Republic and outside forces, as well as the technology behind much of the equipment, weaponry, vehicles, etc. How good are your Communication and Leadership Skills?: I am well spoken and clear in my ideas and commands. In terms of leadership, I take input from others in order to make the best educated decision on whatever situation is occurring. I also try to clarify my leadership as much as possible or keep things simple for others to understand. Do you understand that if you are Inactive, you will be removed from the program?: Absolutely. Give us an Event Idea that you would like to Produce: Event Name: The Island Lab Story: In a prior event of mine, "The Brothers of Machine", SO managed to get the location for the secret project that was transferring living beings' minds into droid bodies. On this deployment, troopers would have to deploy to the location on the map "gm_excess_island_night" and accomplish three tasks. The first would be to rescue any test subjects still alive on the site. Secondly, troopers would have to find and capture the scientist in charge to gather data on the project itself. Finally, troopers would have to search the computer systems of the lab for any other important data or locations of other labs.

Name: Merrill Who helped (If applicable): Ben, Darkk, Bear Event Name: Sins of the Past Summary of the story: A soothsayer calls out to the clone base, warning them of the pain that lingered in their area. The sins of their past came to fruition as the ghost of a droid with a living brain, Sigma, came back to seek revenge for the death of his brother at the Republic's hands. What was the result of the event?: With the death of a 327th trooper who resembled the one who killed Sigma's brother, the ghost and the dead around it dispersed and disappeared.

9/10 -Good immersion -Interesting Dupe -Nice mix of RP and shooting Note: New rule needs to be introduced for placing tacs in battle. Some RC placed a tac on a Droid Spawn Pod and got upset when he kept dying from the droids that spawned on it.

Name: Elijah Who helped (If applicable): Merrill, Holo, Tharin Event Name: Crash Drop Pod Summary of the story: A Republic escape pod crashes into the mountains near the Jedi Temple, carrying a clone navigator and vital intel for a Secret CIS Listening Post. The Navigator was followed however, by a Sith and some commandos, keen on keeping their outpost a secret. What was the result of the event?: The CIS were fought off, whilst the Navigator was deemed to be infected with something. The Republic then committed a war-crime and executed him. Was this more of a role play oriented or "shoot em up" oriented event: Mixed (Note, Elijah asked me to post this for him since he had to go at the end.)

Name: Merrill Who helped (If applicable): Silvers (Shadowing), Rage, Bear, Elijah Event Name: The Two Outposts Summary of the story: The CIS sent a small force to stealthy set up two outposts outside the base to harass it and establish a presence in the area. A Sith Lord was sent with to deal with any Jedi who got too close. The outposts featured a comms jammer, anti-aircraft turret, and droid dispensers to provide fresh B2s. A tactical droid led the force, predicting an easy assignment. What was the result of the event?: Republic forces first managed to take out the AA outpost above the base, freeing their airspace for more aircraft. Outpost Bravo was discovered to be occupied by more droids. Then, they discovered the second outpost in the tunnels of Bravo outpost, wiping out the Tactical Droid and jammer inside.

+1 to the strength part, or maybe some sort of damage modifier stat in general, kind of like what the Jedi have in their skill trees.

+1 Who doesn't love things that add to RP?

Name: Rancor ARC MEDO SGM Merrill Suggestion: Increase the fire-rate of the DC-15S to fit more of a close-range SMG role rather than a smaller magazine DC-15A Implementation: Adjusting the value for the fire rate in the weapon pack, adjusting recoil to be stronger as compensation. Lore: DC-15S is designed to be a close range alternative to the DC-15A, better at close range due to the smaller nature of the weapon and a fire rate meant for close quarters. Workshop content if applicable: N/A, Already on the server.

The original idea of ARQ was something I liked, because it was simply described as a singular training to prepare Recon units who were interested for vehicle usage. It wasn't a requirement at all unless you wanted to use vehicles such as the BARC or ATRT. I'd be fine with keeping ARQ if it was simply optional recon vehicle training, but the ARQ given is like what Fallout 76 turned out to be: a work in progress that some people were originally hyped for and then were let down by how the final product turned out.

+1 ARQ is to ARF what ARF is supposed to be to ARC, while apparently ARQ and selections serve very similar purposes. I like trainings, but I don't like redundancy

-1 Too many things were being spawned at once and in bad places, causing lag spikes for a lot of players. It was a good story, but the spawning of the Mandos was rather poor, spawning massive groups inside each other and inside players, resulting in instant death that they couldn't prevent.

RP Name: RANCOR ARC MED SSG Merrill Steam ID: (32) STEAM_0:1:223673880 VIP (Y/N): No. Age: 20 Timezone: Central TimeZone Tell us why you wish to be an administrator (6 sentence minimum): There are two main reasons why I would like to be staff for the server: I truly enjoy my time with others here and want to continue such trends, and I have a creative mind that I feel could help the Game-masters improve or change their events. While I will say I don't believe there to be any issues with staff currently, save for one or two who could be a bit more professional, there has never been anything wrong with lending an extra hand. I do admit that part of the reason why I want to become staff is so that later down the line, I may apply for GM and use some of my old skills of writing events and operations. Of course, this is all assuming that I am accepted as staff, which I would hope to be the case, because as I have said, I simply find myself spending a lot of time on the server and enjoying it. If you were to ask my comanders, they would agree that I do tend to step above the norm and try new things for the betterment of all under me, and I feel that I could apply the same things to the server as a whole. Tell us a little about yourself (3 sentence minimum): I always enjoy the experiences that you can really only get either in Milsim or Miltary RP scenarios like with CWRP. I tend to find myself writing stories about the universes I have immersed myself in, as well as do maps, drawings, and more. Oftentimes, I also try going out of my way to get people to be more indepenent and confident in their thoughts and get a bit more immersed in their environment based on how I act. Do you have any previous staff experience? I was Senior Administrator for almost a full year on Definitive Networks CVR, as well as Head Gamemaster for 1 month, and Deputy Lead of Infrastructure. I was also lead Operation writer for multiple Milsim groups on Battlefield 4. How much playtime do you have on the synergy server? (You must have a minimum of 75 hours of in-game playtime on the server to apply for new admin. Make a staff ticket in the game so that you can figure out your playtime if you think you are close) As of the time of this update, I have hit 75 hours, 34 minutes. Are you currently staff on a Synergy Server?: (If so specify which one) No.
