  2. Dono's Admiral Yularen Application {Waved}

    in Accepted

    Posted

    I have not commented on a naval application in a long time

    But, I do think the navy needs the care of a battalion. Yes I know the navy is now a faction, but recent admirals treated this in such a way that lead people to never get on. If you stick to your plan and actually do what you say, I think you can turn things around. Don't make me regret this

  6. Brace Finally Leaves

    in Introductions & Farewells

    Posted

    After spending a consecutive year as admiral, I thought I would've retired in a week or so to get the new admiral up to speed...

    Well, we were left without an admiral for a couple months and I stayed to help make sure all my documents transferred to the next admiral. 

    @FreckI am positive you will do great things as the next admiral; I can retire finally knowing that the navy won't burn to the ground

    You will all still see me around the server, so until then...

     

    My word from the navy is finished

  11. Brace's Commander Fox Application - Waived

    Your outside perspective comes down to the basic understanding that commanders and SOs cannot be allowed to get lazy? I understand its been an issue as of recent but its a little bit of a basic concept. Nothing more? Almost anyone that isn't afraid of being a disciplinarian can handle this problem, and it hardly would say anything about them. Same goes for the Plan section of your app, which was also a decent bit underwhelming. Your Diplomatic Services section was also short in size, and amounted to solely consolidating the DS Lore Characters as their respective branch leads. As that was one of the only two things you brought up within your plan, that's all that needs to be fixed? I've seen my fair share of issues within CG as of late, such as the lack of maturity from SO+, poor server image, and arrest happy non-officers, all of which have decimated CGs reputation, something the previous Fox either didn't fix or fed into. It was alarming that you didn't go into further detail within these respective issues with an app this short after you merely just returned felt a little underhanded. 

    My application plans are a little short because CG doesn't need an overhaul. All of these things are making CG function better and removing a lot of unneeded things. CG (and every battalion ever) will always have inactive/lazy officers, so the plan to fix that isn't anything groundbreaking either. The biggest way (besides what I stated) that I will make CG have a better reputation is good PR. The way the server looks at Fox is the way they look at CG as a whole. Plus, once the lower ranks see the battalion HC stepping up to good standards and being held to them, they will follow

    So, one thing that sticks out to me, is that you got waived as a SGM. Not including your 1 year as Yularen, that is still a big thing. Did you bring any of these issues or potential changes up to the current CG High Command before going for a waive? If not, why?

    When I first joined CG a couple months ago, I told all the officers and HC that I was there to help them wherever possible. In the recent weeks since my return from LOA, I have been talking to officers on a daily basis regarding issues (a lot of PR stuff) and how to handle it

    Out of left fucking field.

    Quick question relating to your activity as of late. Haven't seen you around a lot just curious what's been up and if you're be returning to a more active schedule. Know you can do that job but don't want someone who won't be here.

    Of course. Yes, I took a break from the server in the last couple weeks of summer and went on LOA during that time. I returned around 2 weeks ago and have been on constantly a couple hours per day on weekdays. As the school year continues, I will continue this regular schedule as well

    -=This application has been waived by the Directors=-

    Steam Name: Br0dyb

     

    RP Name: CG SGM Brass | Chief of Operations CAPT Brace

     

    RP Rank: SGM | Naval Captain (Colonel) 

     

    Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:102500674

     

    Battalion or squad you are applying for: Coruscant Guard

     

    Experience: 

     

    -Fleet Admiral (Regimental) for 1 year consecutively- 

    My biggest experience with leadership on the server. The navy was in a very bad state at the beginning of my 4 terms and I brought it back. Professionalism increased and the reputation and respect by others also did. I also did away with some very time-tested traditions that made the navy worse. I was not afraid to do things that were right for the battalion, even if people thought the tradition mattered more. Myself and my high command overhauled multiple server-wide systems and trainings. The entire flight and ATC system was reworked and no longer needed to be wiped every month. The ENG system was brought into new light with updates to the document. All trainings received a central logging system under a master roster. All of these things showed the server how much the navy really does. All of these things helped increase the respect of the navy. Being Admiral also puts you in the GAR High Command. With being there for 1 year, I helped implement even more rules and changes to help battalions and the server as a whole. My experience leading the navy and the server for an entire year really showed people how much of an effective leader I can be and to what lengths my dedication goes. 

     

    -Coruscant Guard PVT->MAJ + PVT->SGM-

    The first time I was in the CG, Ratio was my BCMD. This time on endor was great for CG. We were respected and did things the right way. My time in CG first from Private to Major showed me how to lead in CG and how to make the battalion work the right way. I left CG to main my naval then joined back towards the end of my term. My second time in CG I specifically joined to ‘help the battalion’. From an outside perspective CG was suffering and from an inside one as well. I rose through the ranks and gained leadership positions quickly as the command knew they could trust me. I worked with officers and command to better the battalion. Often giving them outside and inside perspectives. I will note my semi-recent ‘dip in activity’, I was feeling burnt out and the server was no longer appealing so I went on LOA. After this LOA, I have been active almost every week day for the past 2 weeks and continue to uphold my activity standards for my entire time I remain in CG. 

     

    Why should you become a Battalion Commander?:

     

    -A Plan- 

    Most BCMDs get the position and then sit around for a week or two and figure out what they’re going to do. Not me. My plan as BCMD starts day 1. Firstly, the removal of the discipline corps. The only thing that I and many others (including officers) have seen from the discipline team is lax punishments and toxic power struggles from discipline leadership. I also have plans to rework DS to cement it into the battalion structure but I will touch on that later. 

     

    -Experience-

    Experience in Synergy apps is oftentimes over-hyped. I too do not like when an applying BCMD puts every battalion they’ve ever been in on their app. But here it is different. I’ve been in 2 battalions. 1 of them as a regimental command for a year and the other as a senior officer. Both times the battalion experienced growth and development and reduced toxic behaviors. Especially with being waived for this application, my experience is really what is shining through. 

     

    -An Outside Perspective-

    An issue that many CG commanders have is becoming too close with their command staff. Don’t get me wrong, a good commander needs to be tightly knit with their entire officer corps. However, in CG it has been shown that a lot of commanders (and officers) do not really do much and simply hold these positions because they have been in the battalion for a long time. With my constant outside point of view, I can always make the right decisions. Even if that means removing people from positions they no longer deserve. 

     

    -Connections-

    Being in server High Command for so long, people recognize my name and know me quite well. This is a very good thing for a fox to have. Fox needs to have good relations with every battalion to smooth over some very hard situations that come up. People know they can talk to me, so when those situations (like arrests) come up, I can help work everything out. 

     

    Do you understand the lore of your battalion or squad?: Yes

     

    Availability:

    Sunday : All day

    Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 3pm-9pm EST

    I am always available on discord

     

    Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?: About 2 and a half years - 9,827 hours

     

    Do you have a microphone?: Yes

     

    Where do you want your battalion or squad to be at the end of your term?:

     

    -Diplomatic Services-

    The DS has been in a weird limbo state recently. A half mix of branch leads and subunits. My plan is to end this half and half. I want to cement that the lore characters of DS (and tracker) will be the branch leads. You apply for a lead, you get the lore character. Stone and Thorn will act as the DS Lead and can choose their lore character, just like the rancor battalion with their commanders. The regular DS troopers will act as a branch. This simplification will remove lots of confusion about what DS is and how it is running. 

     

    -Officer Corps-

    An ongoing issue within CG is officers (especially command) being in positions and not pulling their weight. CG often has an XO and 3 CMDs but it does not feel like it. Under me, the entire corps will be under evaluation to see where they best belong. This is not a wipe, it is however going to result in promotions and demotions. I have always hated the tradition of promoting one rank at a time even though they’re doing good work.

     

    -Discipline-

    As touched in my plan section, discipline is a big issue in the CG. The CG is the police of the server, if they’re doing wrong it should be dealt with. This does not include toxic punishments and punishments for the smallest things. But if you get arrested for RDM, you will be demoted. This goes for all ranks. Another issue in CG from an outside and inside view is the lack of punishment for senior officer+. They’re always the ones to act out, but never dealt with. That’s why, the officer corps will come together as a discipline team instead of one or two people calling all the shots. 

     

     

    -Return to status quo-

    The biggest thing facing CG is a massive command gap and insufficient management. This would change under me by just having an active BCMD that will head off problems before they arise. I already mentioned my officer corps plan, but my HC would also help out a lot too. The CG needs a leader that can put them in the right place in the long term. But in the short term, that means returning to normal life. 

     

    Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?: Yes

     

    Do you understand that your position has a three month term limit and you must reapply after three months to maintain your commander rank?: Yes

    CIS rings very strong with me on this application. Being in HC during the CIS, I can say that it sucked. There was no activity and was only filled with controversy and inactivity, leading to it being removed. I can only think that controversy would also be a factor of your BCMD term

    1.  Naval has never really had a good spot on the server, yes they are in-charge of things but it seems with every new branch lead, a wipe happens. What are your plans to prevent this or is there something in place now? (just a simple yes or no, and if no maybe a possible plan)

    I will let warmac respond to both of these but just to note,

    During my entire year as admiral, not one of our trainings was wiped. Idk where this wipe culture comes from, but it isn't from the navy

  22. Implement a /describe or narration system

    in Denied

    Posted

    Name: Brace

    RP Rank: Fleet Admiral/Regimental Commander 

    Suggestion: Add a system for chat that when activated provides the message as [Describe] blah blah blah or [Narration] blah blah blah

    Implementation: A simple command like /advert, except it would either be /describe or /narrate (depending on which wording is used)

    Lore: N/A

    Workshop content if applicable: Requires Development

    Additional Information: It is so dumb seeing gamemasters put their name as "Anaxes Environment" or "The Jedi's Mind" and seeing them advert for events. They are doing the job of a /describe or narration system without having one implemented.
