    TL;DR: We, the Senate Leadership encompassing Senior Senators Vasco and Cheez, and Vice Chair Keegan, do not believe Rohan is the correct fit for this position given the ideas, his personality, and the complete backstabbing that has just occurred, which we had honestly hoped would be completely over with at this point as we are sick of drama. We do not believe Senate Leadership or some of the Guild Leadership will be able to properly work with Rohan to get anything productive done.

    Regarding work ethic and dedication, you have been a Marshal for 2 months, and a LT for around 20 days. During this time, while the Guild has been in a good state and the things you say you worked on did happen, we cannot attribute them fairly to you as an individual as you neglect to state the other people who put in time to work on these things. In particular to the new Guild Rules document, this is something that many people have wanted to do for a long time, and while you kickstarted working on it, it is something that we know Hanz (the Guild LT at the time) did the majority of the work and actually completed the document itself. After you stopped in the initial stages, Hanz completed the project itself.

    Regarding the contracting system you say you made as a temporary solution, this is something that isn't worth being mentioned as an accomplishment. All that happened was someone else linked the Discords to the BH Permits, and a channel was created in the BH Discord to log when a contract was put in. These are good things, however not anything of any major value or major change. As a group who has contracted more people than anyone since we got our positions, we can say completely that the system before worked just fine and adding a channel didn't change anything.

    Regarding approachability and conflict resolution, we honestly do not believe in your abilities with this or trust to manage it. On several occasions we have felt disrespected and felt we have not had the chance to fully say or allow a proper amount of time for people to consider what we have had to say. While on these occasions this is not necessarily something in which our opinion is necessarily required, as someone potentially going into the Governor position, we feel as if Mas Amedda and the Guild Leader should be able to give feedback and feel welcomed when discussing things with the other faction, rather than their input being thrown aside. We have felt disrespected and treated like nothing before by others in this position as well. Given how you couldn't wait a day to post this to give us a chance to talk to you and explain our goals and what we want to see in the Senate to you, we see this problem only continuing and not getting any better.

    Regarding the role of the Governor, if you had given us a chance to actually speak to you, you would know that a lot of the Senate is looking for someone to actively RP with them in-game as a Governor would, not via changes that could occur without the Governor’s involvement. Most of the Senate, its leadership, and its long-term members, absolutely despise the position of Governor due to total neglect of roleplay since its addition with potentially the most RP-involved faction on the server, the Senate. In fact, for our Senate Selections, one of our Senators' tryouts revolves around the concept of the position of the Governor, and that is the most roleplay we get regarding the Sector Governance Decree, despite the fact there is an established position for the Governor. The absolute neglect of including solid plans and communicating them to us regarding roleplay as a Governor, and not just "roleplaying on all sides and involving myself with the Senate, Guild, clones, and even Jedi", completely neglecting the RP reasoning for what a Governor is, that it is someone imposed by the Chancellor to take powers away from the Senators themselves, is abhorrent and fails to address this concern to us.

    Regarding relations, the concept of a "public violation log" is absurd. Not only is this implying there will be some sort of law system for a violation to be under, which was suggested in the past few months by a member of HC and shut down by Mas Amedda and a Governor due to how it would only limit RP, but we have serious doubts as to if it would be used by the server after around a week's time has passed. This is similar to what RSB had in the past which failed as well and just limited BHs and annoyed them to the point of getting off the job. Furthermore, this completely goes against what you know we (Keegan in particular) do not want to see from the Citizen faction's interactions with clones, complicated systems. The entire server has to come to understand these systems that BH uses, and if they are something of this nature, such as some Google Form and Sheet system, it will not be used, go out of date, or fall into irrelevance and see total apathy from almost every member of the server, similar to how the base pass has worked, and still does work to an extent (even with an in-game system). No matter how "self-evident" these systems are, you still rely on the player-base to be able to understand them and memorize the information. This puts further burden on your average player who wants to join CG or any clone battalion to know of this system and know to a basic extent how it operates. 

    Regarding relations from the Senate to the server, the concept of public bill discussions has been pushed many a time but always fails due to fundamentally changing how the bill system works. Senators first prepare their concept, and pitch it to some people around the server, then publish it in the bills channel in the Discord (which has been public for some time for people to view), which gathers feedback from the Senators, then after any initial changes are made there is then a vote. This is asynchronous to allow for people with varying schedules to get their thoughts out there, rather than the votes being unfairly affected by who is present at said discussion which is inherently going to be "won" by one side. 

    Between the Senate and the Citizen faction, saying that the Senate will collaborate on bounties is something that is already a potential, however, simply no Senators can work on a hostile bounty outside of Gume Saam and Mas Amedda, and for the friendly bounties, most of those are quite frankly boring to discuss and the interaction is done better through the implementation of bills like our recent one which gave a system for setting up public clinics with the citizens. Most of those bounties just make boring, repetitive RP.

    If you truly understood the current state of Senate (or had waited to let us give you a full understanding of it, as we were willing to do), you would understand that the Senate Guard's position is much more fragile than you believe it to be, but its reliance on the Senators is something that it has lived through for quite some time. Regarding Senator involvement, there is great opportunity just around the corner that resolves a great deal of these concerns, and you know it. Keegan sent you two documents a bit ago that add immense RP back to the Senate, and you don't even mention the existence of our committees at all or wanting to help them succeed given they are new. Regarding the discussion of bills with Civilians or having bills related to the village, there are actually several bills relating to the village or the citizens as a whole spanning back years, it is just the case that these things are not often applied because nobody likes having a certain type of RP forced upon them.

    We also see you as a sly and dishonest person, given your past with leaking IP addresses on another server abusing the powers given to you, and how you post this today, not even a few hours after telling your clear other opponent you would give him a chance to be able to post his own application, since he is unable to post it right now due to a frankly silly ban reason. This application feels rushed due not only to its content, but it being posted not even a few hours after your one attempt to reach out to Keegan, and zero attempts to reach out to the rest of us, and even posted less than 24 hours after the position opened suddenly without any planning behind it. It's actually fucked up that you'd apply after telling someone you'd give them a chance to post their own app in an attempt to get the position before they can even post any kind of response.

    Tell us why you want to be an administrator (6 sentence minimum): There are quite a few reasons I wan to become a staff member on Synergy when I first started playing I didn't play too much, but I've really gotten into the server this time. I want to be able to help the server with staff-related issues such as whitelisting, people breaking the rules, questions people ask etc. I would like to eventually become a gamemaster down the line, so that I'm able to host events/encounters for people on the server. I also want to be able to host cool and unique sims/missions/trainings for my battalion and other battalions. I'm usually on late at night when there usually isn't a lot of staff on to help with the late night minges. I want to be able to progress in staff so I can help train/teach new staff members.

    Tell us a little about yourself (3 sentence minimum): I like star wars a lot been a big fan of it since I was a little kid. I know a lot about the lore I really enjoy watching lore videos about star wars, I'm in high school senior year woohoo! I'm usually on just about everyday or so. I have 2k hours on Gmod so I know a good amount about how all the stuff works when. I'm sadly not the best builder but I really do wanna get better at making dupes.

    Do you have any previous staff experience? If yes, please elaborate on what you have accomplished:  Yes I used to be a GM and Admin on GamingLight ImperialRp a while ago. I hosted quite a few events and knew they ULX system pretty well, however synergy doesn't use ULX I think so it would definitely take some time to get used to!

    How many hours of in game time do you currently have on our Clone Wars server?: 255
