Finn

+1 Marvel is spittin facts here

3/2/2 The Venator was fun, but the second part was unbearable. Low visibility plus no comms meant no one had a clear idea of what was happening at all. Add to the fact that since there was mixed communication from the GM, it really made the event not fun. The server crashing wasn't very fun either.

Nothing wrong with a little Finn energy! +1 for my boy. He's given 212th the space it needs to thrive, he's been supportive when we needed him, but doesn't push any agendas or interfere with how we operate.

-1 I paid for a shotgun.

4|4|3 Most people seemed to be enjoying themselves, the entertainment was regular, if simple, and there was enough freeform time to let us make our own roleplay, which was nice. I think if you're going to do this type of event again, get more GHs to reduce the downtime. After the 3rd or 4th time we just sat there shooting droids I really lost interest. There was a decent amount of lag at times, but I don't think any major crashes happened while I was on so it's not so bad. Please give us more tanks next time, there was still some room over at Aurek for vehicles.

+1 citizens need some new models

+1 I had a lot of fun with you when you were Rex and later when you were RCMD. During that time, I think you were a good leader, and I'm sure you can bring some of that leadership to the 501st. I hope you can help them bounce back and get them back to the good times.

4/4/4 The gameplay was simple, but fun. Nothing seemed to last too long, we had a good pace, and the event made sense. Care was given, and attention to detail was clearly given for such a short prep time. I'd think more of and ending would have been nice, the Sith fight felt a little short. Lag was pretty well handled. It had a few drops, but nothing unmanageable. All in all, it was a very fun event, and I can't wait for the next private deployment!

+1 got that experience, got that drive, got that knowledge. Good luck my guy!

I appreciate the quick response. I did read your DM as well, and I'm going to +1. Good luck my guy!

Good luck in the grassy plains of IRL. Can't wait for the next Marshal to undo everything you did!

This is hard :( On one hand, I think Hanz should have gotten Guild Lead when he applied last time, and I've been very open about my feelings about that since the vote closed. I also think you're one of the most dedicated people when it comes to BH, and I know you'll put 110% into doing what you think is best for the faction. On the other hand, you were really mingy after you left and when you first came back, you can be pretty unreasonable when you get into arguments with people on occasion, and I don't trust some of the people you're relying on to run the faction. It's clear this is a very polarizing vote on both sides, so I'm wondering if you have any plans on trying to reconcile the split between Senate and BHs? I'm also curious about your thoughts on how you've grown since the last time you applied for this position (as IIRC maturity was a factor for some people on why you got denied)?

I think letting the battalion decide their own rules is best tbh. I know I've seen people swap between battalions almost every day, just rotating through, and it's frustrating to deal with. I don't think there needs to be a overall server rule, but allowing punishment case by case is super +1 to me

+1 what's a little RDM between homies

I love roll bonuses! I'm so glad they're being added back!!

Still have it!

I miss you!

Look, I don't disagree, but I trust Xaze more than I trust my own judgement of the situation, because almost everything Xaze has done has worked in stabilizing and rebounding the population of the server. I don't like it anymore than you do, but it's of those things that isn't going to change just because we don't agree with it. I argued the same points everyone is making to Xaze when the roadmap was announced, and I'm sure I'm not the only one to share my concerns about this to him directly. If he's still confident that this is the smart play in the long term then I'm not gonna argue against it. As for the quality of deployments, maybe the community should be working to better shape the events? The most recent 5 pages of events (125 total), 4 of them 10+ replies. And we all know how terrible the community is at reviewing events honestly and critically. Of those 125 events posted, how many do you think are just 5/5/5 with no context? I'm getting real tired of blaming the GM team when the players give no feedback to them, give zero effort to improve events, and half the time not take them seriously in the first place. Don't get me wrong, the GM team has NO imagination when it comes to events outside a select few GMs, but the players are just expecting free Mavelle level events all the time, and that doesn't happen. It's a symbiotic relationship that needs both sides to contribute in order for the system to work.

If there's a way to make this work I'm all for it +1

+1 You got the drive and the right mindset for a Cody to have, and I have faith you'll continue the good leadership that Baddog and Quassont brought to the battalion.

+1 He will continue my legacy with honor!

I'm all for adding the event server back, but idk why there's such an upheaval about it rn. Xaze said months ago what the timeline was to add the ES back, and the community hasn't hit the 70 person average player count, so we aren't getting the ES back. It's a really simple concept guys, get your battalion/faction active, promote positive RP or some other reason for people to get on and stay on the server, and you'll get the ES back in action. As easy as it is to try and blame anyone other than yourselves, this really comes down to the community not pulling it's own weight. Xaze and dev team do far more than they should be doing in order to keep the server running, and the community pushing in a forward direction, the least we can do as a community is try and pull our own weight.

Man there are some big hypocrites in this thread. It's pretty transparent why some of the people here are -1ing, and it's incredibly sad to see people work so hard to see someone as dedicated and motivated as Bacta is fail. I'd try and give them some advice on how to let go of past confrontations, but I doubt they'd be mature enough to listen to anything I have to say to them. Big +1 to you, Bacta. No one in this community aside from Xaze comes anywhere close to driving the community in a better direction than you do, and I hope you continue to help the community thrive.

I'll miss you buddy! Hope you're enjoying yourself IRL!

-1 Arrests already do their job as best they can. Making the timer longer isn't going to stop people minging, and it will just make the people who might stay less likely to stay.
