So, I wanted to get some ideas/ opinions people have for Squad Based Events. What are Squad Based Events you ask? Essesntially, what I mean by Squad Based Event is that, when deploying a battalion for a campaign or short series of missions, instead of deploying an entire battalion, you give the HC of said battalion a number of troopers to pick out and send on said mission. Example: I do a series of short story deployments for 41st. I let HC know that this is a stealth mission, tell them their squadsize maximum is 5-6, and tell them that intelligence from this mission will affect their next squad mission. They pick their troopers, send them out, and run background detail/oversee work from a Venator while their boys do their work. Obviously, they can also send themselves if the particular mission warrants their skills. The idea is, it helps with immersion, allows for more personal action with troopers since there are less to manage per "mission", and means that story can more easily progress/ be revealed. Basically, how would y'all feel about these kind of events, what types of story/genre you want, what style of mission, etc? Also if you got any interesting ideas to add to this concept, feel free to post them.

Wish Granted, but Taz gets off Garry's Mod because online play no longer works. I wish that the Clones get a happy ending.

Sidenote: If anyone has any questions for me, please @ me so that I see it faster. I am not always able to monitor the forums.

9/10 Awesome Recon Elements, Great Map design, so much dope stuff. Only complaint, Rules for Stealth Health were a bit unclear. It was said that hostiles would have 1 Health up until they were alerted, except PC were not given this same thing.

RP Name: 41stEC Alpha-01 CSM Merrill / Mayor Wavebreaker the Saint Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:223673880 VIP (Y/N): Y Age: 22 Timezone: CST What was your previous staff rank?: Senior Admin Are you currently staff on a different server?: No Why did you leave the staff team?: Burned out, focused on self improvement stuff for a while and went inactive. Why do you want to rejoin the staff team? (3 sentence minimum): Mainly, I'm coming back to do events/encounters and generally fill up empty time before I head out for Basic Training. I've also got some old ideas that I've been sitting on that I wish to use before I go. Also, nothing beats some casual dupe building for sims or just general use. How do you feel your previous time as a staff member went? (3 sentence minimum): My main issue, as with my first go-through of staff, is that I let myself get involved in HC work, which is the exact thing I want to avoid. When I get to work on my events and stories, I am at my best, and turn out high quality content. To top it off, I managed to give an entire battalion PTSD. Do you understand by re-applying to get your previous rank back that you will be tested on your knowledge of the server rules and practices?: Yes Please Note: I am specifically coming back for events, encounters, and sims/RP. I will be as available as I can, although I will be dropping everything once I have my MOS and my date for Basic is settled.

Most of the shit here, don't matter. Just general "My opinion is right, yours is wrong" type deal. However, there are two things that are super strong points. 1. So many people get burnt out in staff that if the server box had a smoke detector, you'd have to take the batteries out that bitch. 2. Favoritism exists. Ain't much I can say about problem 1, I'm a burnt piece of toast myself, and most of it is due to what others have mentioned: people who don't deserve shit getting shit and bumming the mood. Nothing sucks more than pulling your work in TR, or creating them masterpieces of events, or whatever else staff be doing to vibe, only to go unnoticed/unappreciated/overshadowed by someone who happened to right place right time themselves into the spotlight. It especially sucks when some of the work that staff takes care of (particularly higher staff) goes unnoticed due to background shit. Now, onto the favoritism thing. I saw couple posts mentioning that there's "nothing you can do to fix it". This will be a shit analogy, but are you the kinda people who go over to protests and say in front of the crowds "Welp, there's nothing you can do to stop murder. It will always exist."? You the kinda people to go up to some homeless family in the middle of (most recent natural disaster here) and be like "Welp, nothing you can do, you're always gonna be homeless and constant fear of death."? Obviously, this server is nowhere near as high stakes as real world stuff, but that kinda attitude is the exact type of shit that allows these problems to continue.

9/10 Awesome use of Console for Hacked Comms Strong Cohesion between GM and Players through TS Interesting Build / Recon Concepts Could of used more sneaky music (thats just me)

So, no 2nd term? Mah boi

+1 Yeehaw Chucklenuts, theres a new sheriff in town.

Yes. Yes. YES. You will all say Y E S. +1 my boy, this is awesome to see

tf?

Star Wars doesn't exist in Real World, but Jediism is a thing. It would be entirely realistic for the possibility of something akin to modern religions popping up. "Jesus could walk on water due to the Force" type deal. Not to mention, its been shown that god like entities exist in SW. Gonna stop saying "Things don't exist" and start saying "Things aren't shown to exist". It doesn't mean they don't, it just means we don't know if they do. Havoc Squad aren't shown to exist, but we have them on the server is a good example too

Legit, @Deku, this is the most confident I've felt in someone in a Leadership position in quite a while. Honestly kinda wish I had you around during my time as Rancor BCMD, cause you seem like someone who legitimately has a good head for leading on their shoulders, cause you offer plans, explain and address concerns like you work for Congress, and acknowledge faults that you plan to work on fixing. +1. Lets see an Attack Reg CMD Deku next week, ey?

Bruh, Logic, you only posted this cause somebody has their BH character as Joshua Graham from Fallout New Vegas and is RPing them as they should. The point of the rules is not to be offensive. Joshua literally just talks about being a pastor and "The Lord's work must be done." In what way, shape, or form, is that offensive? -1

So that the Right Wing in Britain can keep more queens at the top of everything. Why do computers generate heat while they run?

Here is how you play: Political Pisstake Basically, it looks like this. "Why are there 4 quarters in a dollar?" "Because the damn Democrats wanted to remind us how many times they've covered up terrorist conspiracies to defend their agenda." You answer the question of the person above you in a way that insinuates any political party of something (doesn't have to be American). Then, you ask your own question. I'll go ahead and start. Where does the sun go at night?

Wish granted, because money no longer exists, both as an object and as a concept. I wish that subordinates at work would stop being so shit.

Cheers Mate, you stay safe now

Selections has been changed several times actually. Some were small changes, while others were removals or additions of sections. Weapons and Tactics is the one that has not changed (save for grammar fixes or updated dupes). Primary problem, from what I had heard and experienced myself, is with Graduation. Some have a problem with it because one bad teammate (when you don't get to pick them) can cause you to fail instantly, compared to selections where the actions of one do not entirely decide the fate of the rest. The other issue, and this is one that I personally feel, is that Graduation serves no purpose towards what ARC is about. Originally, the purposes of the trainings were combat skill, followed by tactical skill/taking in new info, ending with using those skills for leadership. However, Graduation is literally just Selections but Lag dictates whether you pass or fail (lets just say your health is set lower than normal). Essentially, its pointless. Serves no purpose to the building of an ARC trooper save for a fear of ping and a distrust of your teammates, which is the polar opposite of the ideals that should be had for strong ARC troopers. Define "things" and "long term goals", and how are you working on both of those? Those who are out of touch with local issues or plans won't understand the vague pronoun game. (I am at work atm, so if I missed the answers to one of these, someone just quote me and quote the sections where this is answered)
