I find being on Campus, paired with music with no lyrics is the perfect combination. But that is my personal way of doing it, it ultimately is down to you. Some people study at home and have a binge series in the background or if you have friends, then some people just find group studying sessions useful.

I have some serious respect for you lad, you're a fun person to interact with inside of the community. And while I could stem a vote purely from our interactions over the time you have been here. This application seems out of touch, rushed and overall lacking, therefore I have no real idea on what your plans are for specifics areas in the Order, how you aim to improve them and what criticisms are currently present and how you aim to fix them. Until I see further effort and detail in this application, sadly it will be a -1.

Curious on your current thoughts of SOBDE and do you have plans around them for your term?

+1 I would like to see this change on behalf of my battalion, it would add a greater appeal to the Squad due to the, horrific models, they currently have. While I understand further down the line models will be created for them, this is a much needed change for the Squad as it is completely horrific to view at the moment.

Going to miss you mate, honestly loved our interactions in-game and in teamspeak whenever I had the opportunity to talk to you. Take care of yourself and I wish you a bright future, you deserve it. Love ya.

Name: Void Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:54134076 RP Name: Boss Battalion: SOBDE Who is in command until you return?: Brooklyn Length of Absence: 8th October to 11th October Reason: My Grandma passed away a few hours ago, while I'm not close with her fully I will take a few days to process it because as I'm writing this I'm physically shaking so I should be back to normal hopefully tomorrow, if not the next few days.

+1 Compared to the majority of people in the community, Clutch is honest, blunt and has a mentality for getting his agenda and his plans across in a clear and considerate fashion for those inside and outside of the Order. I have great faith in him and has been a great person to work alongside and understands how to utilise a team efficiently. I look forward to seeing great things from Clutch and I wish you all the best in your Interview!

Name: Void RP Rank: Commander Suggestion: Changing the Tab Menu Implementation Potentially changing the Tab Menu to something fresh, at the moment every job has its own slot in the Tab Menu which I never understood why, would it be possible to change it to something where battalions are grouped together under a single heading instead of it being a Job has its own heading. In other words instead of... Alpha-17 "X" Alpha-77 "Y" It would be something more along the lines of... Rancor Battalion "X" - Alpha-17 "Y" - Alpha-77 Would make it so the overall Tab Menu is uniformed.

All of it is being secretly developed by @Woeny

Thank you for the response Lovestruck and I appreciate the feedback and understand the reasoning behind your vote. While that being the primary reason, I did fail to mention the environment and people are completely different and bare in mind when you have spent "X" amount of months in a battalion, change is needed to keep the experience refreshing. My obligation is that to the battalion and community and will always maintain consistence when it comes to that. I think the only difference is, that I could set aside from my position of Rancor was the fact I went from "1st Lieutenant" to "Battalion Commander" which while I understand that was my own doing, at the time I did not have the relevant Command experience in the battalion to truly see it for what it is. Before the argument of "You were a Commander before" I did resign shortly after Stix's resignation due to severe burnout, this was because I was "Sentinel Lead, Head Admin, Gamemaster Officer and Commander and studying at University" at once which as I described earlier, pushed me away from the community. This is why I decided to opt away from the Staff Team when I joined SOBDE and decided to stray away from Battalion work on my Jedi, this means when I'm on my Jedi the only concern I have is the Order and when I go on my clone, my fundamental worry is my battalion. Which I discussed with numerous people at the time. Bare in mind, as referenced my term was a month before resignation and when I lost interest within a week, I attempted my best to grudge may way through, which arguably caused a huge turn around inside of the battalion, where numbers became consistent and the overall ARC Program went through small changes, with the removal of and changes of the program to prepare for a full change, which I sadly did not see through. The difference and I hope you are granted confidence in this, is that I've been a Commander inside of SOBDE, coming three weeks and I have not lost that spark, I love my Squad and I love the battalion. I have that Command experience and understand the overall workings inside of the battalion where there would not be drastic change in my duties, the only thing being my quota would increase which I would be able to sustain without a doubt. Paired with chairing meetings and pushing for change along-side my Command Team and communicating directly with High Command. And while I do not enjoy the battalion, my care is still there, I can recall a conversation just yesterday about the current state of Rancor and while it is sad, because those are my routes, I have no obligation to go back and fix it, nor do I wish to prevent the very reason that started to push me away from the community. The reason I feel differently, is that to begin with I have the experience as a Commander of the battalion, therefore I understand what is entailed in the position fully, that the people that I have been operating beside inside of the battalion have ignited that spark, where we debate and discuss change consistently to better the battalion. As I have made clear, I have and always will enjoy the responsibilities of a Battalion Commander and now that my foot is inside of the community fully, its something that I seem open-minded about fully. And before the question is asked from anyone, if I was unable to balance my time between the Order and the Battalion, what would I do? I would drop the Order and completely main clone. Because the battalion has gripped me into staying, I love my lore character and the people and the overall battalion and how vastly different it is compared to other battalions. I hope that clarifies some things and this is not to "change your vote" as I appreciate your response, it helps me develop my plans and my thought process which has provided me much to reflect on, however for me your responses solidify the reason on why I wish to go for it. I'm not asking for an opportunity to prove you wrong, however if I do obtain the position I look forward to that challenge when I finalise my term.

I never contradicted myself, from what I'm reading. I referenced in there the reason I was not having fun was because I did not enjoy Rancor as a battalion, as I mentioned earlier I enjoy the responsibilities of a BCMD, I didn't enjoy the battalion. If I didn't want the position I wouldn't apply. Nothing stopped me doing this in Rancor, Ollie handled the Alpha Program, Marr handled the ARC Trainings ensuring they were scheduled, Lynoxais provided advice and guidance due to previous experience and a community mindset. The difference, delegation is different here. Because Squad Lead handles their squads, which would still be a responsibility of mine as I would be Boss. That is the reason I brought it forward. And of course, when it comes to the overall creation of new trainings, which is and will be assigned to specific officers and members of Command, including myself, to create and ensure they are developed to the best standard. To extend, via an edit, as referenced earlier I detail that there are less responsibilities compared to Rancor, which mitigates burnout as I do not have to constantly worry about the ARC Program, the ARC Leads, ARC standards, the Alpha ARC designations. Because even when delegated, as a Battalion Commander you are expected as it should be obvious, to still worry about those aspects even when delegated. If I was not clear my bad.

Hi Lovestruck, I appreciate your concern. At the moment for me, this is something I want do, while of course that can change I believe it unlikely in this case. Compared to numerous other positions they all share similar characteristics, this one feels diverse and suits my overall style. To begin with as stated, I'm having fun and have some serious passion, fresh passion, for this battalion. Furthermore, the position is diverse in nature compared to various other positions, both with overall battalion workings and the people inside of the battalion. I'm having fun inside of the battalion, because I enjoy the battalion, this was not the case for Rancor where I attempted to trudge my way through which affected my overall ambition and enjoyment inside of the community. The overall objectives of a Battalion Commander were fun and exciting, the battalion was not. And I would argue, while a short month I provided significant turn around even when I was not enjoying the position. This would not be the case, as I'm enjoying the battalion and the people. Time-commitment is a fluid topic, as anything can change. I know that my three months will be rather free, compared to university, however with an exceptional team and a goal already set as a Commander and potential Battalion Commander, I aim to solidify this to ensure that I am able to meet me by quota and potentially beyond that, paired with delegating tasks and working along-side a Command Team which are as ambitious as I am. When it comes to my schedule, I have balanced it correctly where I will be able to delegate my time wisely, so it fits into my schedule perfectly, while being able to maintain my commit inside of the Order as well. Because I'm not obligated to do go back to be frank, if I resigned because I was not having fun inside of the battalion, because of the battalion itself, why should I force myself to endure and sacrifice my fun and time which would in-turn force me away from the community. Would you stay in a position if it genuinely was affecting your ability to get onto the server, interact with the community and overall provide you with enjoyment. In this case, I have yet to experience this and paired with the fact I am in a position that grants me this enjoyment, because I have loved Delta Squad and the Republic Commandos since I was twelve, now I'm twenty-two and have yet to cease to be uninterested in them. For me RCs is like the saying of "All Roads lead to Rome" no matter what, I find myself back here. Paired with the fact, on previous communities I have always ended up in Delta and clogging the position for potentially a year. Finally, you do not have to trust me, I can provide you comfort to change your mind however that is completely up to you. In this case, I have significant enjoyment in the position of Boss and will continue to do so and ensure the activity of my Squad, paired with the potential additional responsibilities of being the figure head of the battalion. However, I plan to act as a council with the other members of Command, where we make uniformed decisions about Grey RC and the other Squads as a collective, furthermore. This position, does have less responsibilities, for example the Alpha Designation Program, the ARC Program which mitigates the chance of burnout. I could say "I will be good this time, I promise" but I won't. I'll put it simple. I enjoy my time in the battalion, I have ambition along-side the others in the Command Team to develop and elevate this battalion and if I don't get it I'll continue to do so as a Commander.

5/5/5 Was brilliant!
