    Hey Mystic,

     

    Thank you for the question. I’m not going to sit here and say that burnout was not a part of the process for each of those resignations because it definitely was. However, for each of those cases, there are some specifics for either. In most of the cases I choose to resign because they did not meet up with my schedule or I felt that my schedule was interfering with how the battalion was operating so I thought it was in my best interest and in the battalions’s best interest at the time to resign myself from the position to allow for other leadership to take over. 
     

    With my resignation from gamemaster work I knew that my schedule wasn’t flexible enough for me to like specialize in two areas of the server so I made the active choice to stick with a faction and or battalion instead of staff work. I hope that answers your question.

    That’s all I worried about man. 
     

    +1. Welcome back.

  3. Before i vote. 

    You're freshly back. 

    However both your time as BCMD Gregor BCMD Bacara and Spec Reg were all cut short due to burnout .  You were freshly back as Bacara as well, and Established on the server when you got Gregor but all three times resulted in the same issues. . What's your plan to combat any sort of early resignation now? Especially with the new blacklist rules if you do step down early. As upon your resignation, you left a semi active Commander in Blackout, and a brand new player in CMD Keller who was burned out instantly due to the backlash of how 21st was doing afterwards.

    Otherwise. You're a good roleplayer, and your plans are solid imo, though im not a big naval player.

    There was also this resignation from GM that im a little confused about. If being a GM was too much to juggle what's your plan for juggling an RCMD position? As you'll have interviews and running an entire faction that needs stability. Its workload is much more than a Gamemasters.

  4. Name: Mystic

    RP Rank: Windu/Overseer/CMD

    Suggestion: Implement a button in the C menu to hyperlink to the Server Rules document. Making it easily accessible in game via Steam Browser should people need a quick reference on server! This makes it easier for CG/TG/Staff and Event new CTs and CRs to reference rules!

    Implementation: Add a new button (or replace one here) adding the Server Rules

  5. Name: Mystic 

    RP Rank: Mace Windu l CMD l Overseer

    Suggestion: Mix up the HIlt/Crystal/Emitter etc spawns!

    Implementation: 
    Just bring back a different pool of Hilts/Crystals etc. This was done on the swap from Anaxes to Onderon which was really cool! until its been the same drops for 2 years now. We have a steady lack of variety in hilts and Pikes (one of the incentives of joining our branches) have next to no spawns. 

    Whether you bring back old hilts, or put in new hilts/crystals or change spawn percentages anything. Jedi just needs a small refresher in terms of grinding the lightsaber crafting

    Lore: Jedi made their own lightsabers. I dunno. 

    Workshop content if applicable: Probably, but N/A.

  6. -1 on the Jetpack. 
    -1 the PLX over RPS 6 
    -1 Bacta Grenade.

    Jetpack - Jetpacks should come in a group or not at all imo. Jetpacks make one specific character desireable, and no other pilots on server have Jetpacks. This includes Warthog, who is in a Jetpack subunit whos Jetpack suggestion was denied. 

    PLX was primarily utilized by ARC troopers and the Marines. RPS is the default rocket, and they do the same damage. Just a different weapon model. So RPS > PLX in terms of lore accuracy, and utilization/uniformity.

    Bacta Grenade was on the chopping block in general. Ive heard numerous times from Jad and other people that the Bacta Grenade has been on removal for awhile. They just haven't prioritized it because its on so few jobs its not really that big of an issue, so i doubt asking for it would do much good 

    +1 the rest of the suggestion. I agree that you should keep the Health and request a speed boost. I believe class specific boosts IE HP for HVY Armor for Pilots speed for Recon etc are a super cool idea we don't use. 

    I think you should reevaluate the whole suggestion, redo it and repost it.  I'd love to see Improcco better than it is, but these are some super far fetched changes.

  7. Bacta is right. 

    Don't get banned for MRDM this time. 

    +1. Even if all he does is host 2 events and resign, or a deployment, it'll probably be one of the best the server has seen in a minute.

  8. -1. Several reasons.

    1. Roles would get confusing as fuck. 
    - You need to have roles for CMD, BCMD and each individual battalion, subunit, branch, sub branch, training etc. 

    2. Discord permissions!
    - Discord permissions are not the same across discords. Each CMD+ or BCMD+ would need permissions to edit the server itself, which would lead to huge security issues and weak infrastructure in the turnout of a bad player getting one of these positions. Not to mention setting them all up and adjusting them as needed would be a NIGHTMARE. 

    3. Automated Rosters.
    - Currently We use Bots set up by dedicated members of the community to monitor discords and role assignments/recruits etc to automatically log them on the roster. Consolidating to one discord would cause a plethora of issues as there is currently two bots in use, Jovanovic's bot and Satan's bot. I'm not sure both could work in one discord simultaneously.  These bots function on changes of tags, or bot commands. Combining them in the discord would mean having the bot work for 8 battalions, monitoring several different tags and a lot more stuff that i wont mention here which will increase error rate and ruin a decent part of the infrastructure each battalion has.

    4. Freedom. 
    - It is within a BCMDs right to create channels as they see fit, For Officers, OOC reasons or documents, Consolidating all these into one discord would cause loading issues and lag when scrolling through discord. Your average discord per battalion or faction has 40+ channels, many sections, NSFW channels, etc. These are harder to maintain and standardize, and take away battalion freedoms. This also allows people to leave all the other discords while still staying in touch with JUST that battalion. A lot of people leave the Community Discord due to general pings or messages and then stay in the couple of discords they're legacy in. This just takes that freedom away and forces them to stay in a bloated discord. 

    5. Privacy. 
    - While BCMDs and CMDs always have Server Leadership in their discords, there is a degree of privacy given. Having all these put into one discord would cause issues on the privacy front, NSFW channels exist in some discords, Private VCs or tags for Game Night tie back into the Permissions/Freedoms mentioned above. 

    6. Every battalion does things different.
    - When creating discord roles, its impossible to have them all on the same level. If BCMD Fox is above BCMD Bacara and they have the same permissions, it now means BCMD Fox can assign all the BCMD roles below him or other tags etc. While there is tricky workarounds to fixing this, its not worth it. Having separate discords allows for even tag assignment, no power struggles etc. 

    7. Discipline.
    - People are removed from discords based on blacklists that may or may not be permanent. This is 10x harder to keep track of in just 1 discord as you cannot theoretically ban people from the discord for their issues in 1 battalion as it would lock them out from the server as a WHOLE. 

    8. Confusion in general? 
    - The most obvious one is, Why would Naval, Jedi, Civilian, 21st, 41st, 104th, 212th, 501st, CG, RANCOR, SOBDE, Leadership and High Staff share a discord? Like.. you didn't give a reason. Just how to go about it and that you think it would help. The server has been around for 7 years and operated quite well on this system, as have many other servers. This would revoke permissions from Legacy members per battalion, Former BCMD tags, fun discord bots setup by the BCMD,  Its just confusing and there is generally no reason to do this. We already merged a lot into the main discord with the Training Hub and Some of Leadership being pushed into the Community Discord, battalions weren't done this way for a reason. 

    I, Alongside @Rohan, @Tetraand @Finn do a LOT of the Server's Intel work. Tetra being a big mentor and running 41st, Finn taking care of 501st, 212th and CG, Rohan keeping High Staff automated and helping them create trackers, and myself with 21st RANCOR, (up until recently 104th) and Jedi,

    We have all fucked with discord permissions, built documents and had YEARS of conversations in these separate discords. Some of these discords have people from years ago who stay in and talk, but nowhere else. Taking away these discords would kill server history and ruin old friendships.   I also don't think @Wosyand @Woenywant to go through all the effort of organizing and setting this up. Its a lot of wasted time for those two pivotal members of the community. 

    EDIT: Also there is a role cap on discord roles! Let me show some issues here :P 

    This is the role count in the THREE discords i manage, 

    Jedi Order 
    image.png?ex=666ab47c&is=666962fc&hm=b77
    21st Nova Corps
    image.png?ex=666ab487&is=66696307&hm=580
    RANCOR Battalion
    image.png?ex=666ab490&is=66696310&hm=e9e

    This is together 304 roles just between these 3 discords. 

    You can at most have 250 roles and maybe a small boost if you're a registered discord partner (don't quote me on this) This is not including the 2 largest battalions on Server, 212th and 501st. It would be ABYSMAL putting effort into this.
