They're only joining cause its funny imo this was the worst way to handle the situation. Tbh its bigger than just DU the suggestion stems from the need to actually remove a battalion from the server to have more people in all other batts. This suggestion could very well be 21st or 41st or whatever.

Other than 212th and 501st (typically), this happens with basically EVERY battalion. A BCMD is a powerful icon and people always get excited when a BCMD gets put in and activity increases, and then when a BCMD resigns or term ends and there isnt an immediate new BCMD activity goes down. Pretend this post merged with the post below idk why they seperated Im sorry for the double-posting

Honestly, Im having a hard time -1ing. As both Dennis and you have mentioned battalion come and go except basically 501st and 212th (cause theyre the most shown in the show and blah blah blah). But this suggestion easily could have been "Remove 1 battalion from the server". I feel as if this stems from the childish handling of DU at the moment and I don't think it would be fair to remove DU because they went monkey in it. For example: DU has almost no lore and has shields. Yes an option could be to remove DU and possible add a "Riot" branch to all (or most) battalions that have shield (Maybe like a 5 slot job). 21st has a lot of super specific sub units and branches. Sorry but nobody is going to miss KU and maybe SO will be missed as its the primary defense against cloakers. I guess you could make it that ARC or ARF can SEE cloaks, but SO is genuinely very unique. Otherwise, 21st could be removed to satisfy the reasoning of this suggestion. CG handles AOSs, but why? Why not just have Staff handle all arrests and then merge CG into Naval via 5th Fleet (which we already have). Then, the "security" of the base falls in with Naval and the RP fits, while the minges are handled by staff. This could actually give NAs and/or As more shit to do on the server (have NAs and/or As spawn with a baton now they can arrest). 41st is basically just 91st. You could give BARCs to some other battalion and 41st could be removed. Improcco Company would be missed though. I will rest with a -1 however I do see the reason to remove a battalion from the server. Personally, I think there should be a Director+ discussion to determine which battalions could be removed, then have a like community vote to determine what battalion the server could do without. Personally, I like the replacement of the current AOS system and removal of CG but that's for alter I guess. I find it kind of unfair (although continent) for DU to be on the chopping block simply because the battalion went into a down state (as is the natural up and down of the server), have the situation handeled really really badly, and then remove them.

+1 please no more of your hot COVID takes

6/10 Very standard, GM/Assisting staff were a little slow to react

Now can you please get rid of the frogs outside?

6/10 It was a good attempt at a unique event. Would have loved to see more scale or more depth to the RP that took place

+1 Grief is so cool

RP Name: 21stGM HVY MSG Cyan Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:67176800 VIP (Y/N): Y Age: 18 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?: I left the staff team due to my busy summer as well as my leaving to college. Why do you want to rejoin the staff team? (3 sentence minimum): I want to rejoin the staff team because I want to become a GM again. I am also on a lot during the late nights/evenings so I see a lot of need for staff at those times, and oftentimes there is a very small staff presence on. I want to help with being a staff that is online and present at those times, as well as to be a GM again. I used to have pretty decent ratings on my events and did some very Jedi-focused events that I enjoyed doing. Additionally, I loved building dupes and experimenting with GMOD building as an SA so I would like to become a staff in order to keep on building dupes for public or private use. How do you feel your previous time as a staff member went? (3 sentence minimum): While I was staff for 10+ months with no issues, my large issue from staff was my "exit" after I had resigned from staff. In my infinite stupidity I thought it would be funny to MRDM with a turbolaser in armory. This was a point of contention in my previous staff app so I will address it in this app. I do severely apologize for that action and have grown past it. Since I have actually come back to Synergy I have been much more developed mentally as well as behaviorally. Since coming back I haven't caused major issues nor have I attempted to do massively stupid things. I have attempted to move past all my dumb crap and come back with an open and mature mind. 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 If you are reapplying for the rank of SA, you are aware that applying will opt you in to becoming a Game Master? (Failure to opt in to GM will drop you down to the rank of Admin): Yes (I want to be a GM) *Past Offence Waived by Director+ (Fyi)*

This is definitely cool, however the potential for abuse of this is out of this world. I can think of literally a million ways to abuse this not only for detecting cloakers, but if it made a fucking sound, you could slap this around corners when it doesn't need to be. Placed everywhere and it would just be so much more annoying rather than useful. -1 on my end Im sorry. How are you always the 1st or 2nd response on every single suggestion? Do you have an email or some shit everytime someone posts?

+1 I'm not funny

Huh? +1 Very simple

I do remember this being able to very easily crash the server with overuse like Conrad said. However, if this DOESNT crash the server easily anymore or we can limit the amount of portals that can be made by 1 person (say only 2 linked portals) this would be slightly more useful.

I was inclined to -1 because that's basically what the CIS faction was BUT, If this was a server addon/workshop that turned from like red to green the longer you stayed inside of it (Like forts in New World @Woeny;) ) Yeah this would be kinda cool. As long as it doesnt crash people's games!

As long as it doesn't crash my game, +1

Torn between a -1 or a +1. This does add to making ARF more useful (tbh ARF is pretty stale because "recon" is stupid and everyone has the same render distance and suit zoom). I'm not sure where this +5 TECH roll came from but I've been away for a while so I probably missed rolling rule changes (last I remember Bro completely removed them). So if they are already slightly tech focused yes this makes sense. My only leaning to a -1 would be adding more BUFFS (this would be an ARF buff imo) without taking it from somewhere. However after a little thought, if ARF is underwhelming/underpowered already I do think this suggestion does warrant the addition of a datapad without having to take it from anyone else. A possible follow up to this suggestion would be to remove hack tools and datapads from SUP (as lets be real SUP is a kinda broken whitelist, Armor + Hack tools + Datapad + Priority Piloting). +1 overall

10/10 Clutch event! Very awesome and thoughtout

9/10 creativity was great. Very good and very fun

Hanz is so big brain we cant understand him sometimes. I kinda agree with Hanz's point of constantly trying to buff sub-units all the time. 21stGM has 2 units in it, SO and KU. They dont have every single branch in both units because the units are meant to fill different roles. I think it is an entirely different discussion on how to fix this balance better (imo, get rid of SO SUP, add SUP to KU and remove WS but that's not relevant). KU is meant to be (as I see it) as fast paced, kind of "guard breaker" unit in support of GM, and SO is meant for infiltration. I believe that swapping the Z6 for a more mobile weapon (like the 15x) would be beneficial for the job. However, I believe the core issue with feeling that KU (and in some areas SO) is lacking is the lack of understanding as to how the 21st is supposed to be balanced between sub units.

+1 if it can happen before models. If not then nothing lost really. Wording is "Add or Replace". 21st I think would like to have both models available for its SUP, but if the option is not there to have both models then they would prefer the GM model over the current one.

8/10 Fun, lot of effort went into the event.

10/10 Clutch Event!

+1 More 21st staff!

I was in DU for about 2-ish months before Trixx resigned from Doom. Better days those were.
