[[Denied] Ban Appeal]

Please read up on the information I linked! Also put some more effort and evidence backing yourself, and probably read server rules before appealing something saying there aren't rules against it.

[[Denied] Ban appeal]

4 hours ago, KaiserNeiner said:

Would've been a day for NITRP after his arrests last night, was upped to Harrasment based on what he said towards newer staff members upon his "sit". Multiple reports in staff chat from staff members talking about his targeted harassment as well, along with harrassment and arrests from other CT's he as associating with. 

"Fuck off you scum of the earth" was not the only thing that was said, however I can't recall what the exact words were. 

I standby the ban, but @flenderson if you have any actual proof of what the other guy said I would change my mind, especially because the alleged individual was a staff member. 

Thank you for the additional information and context that was missing. I did not know the other reasons as they weren't listed in ban website. I'd just wait out your ban Mr. flenderson and be more careful to follow the rules next time.
 

[[Denied] Ban appeal]

This guy basically made Synergy what it is today… Unban him. 

Anyways @KaiserNeiner (I see you are the person who banned him) what exactly was the harassment here? I don’t see how telling someone to fuck off on its own is bannable when people can get away with saying the n word on intercom, but maybe that’s just me or some information is missing here.

Anybody have clips of what happened?

[More LFS Vehicles!]

-1 Not worth the development time

• [LFS] ARC-170 - Why do we need to add 188 MB of content when this ship already exists on the server?
• [LFS] Jedi Starfighters - This requires an additional 36 MB of required content for a ship used mostly during phase 1, which this server is not. Since this would be used by Jedi, did the council think this should be added? Same goes for all the Jedi ships here.
• [LFS] Anakin's Delta-7 Aethersprite-class Starfighter (AZURE ANGEL) - Phase 1 era ship, and it's just Anakin's skin as well.
• [LFS]Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor - 35 MB for this and it's required content when we already have ETA-2 on server.
• [LFS] BTL-B Y-Wing Starfighter (REPUBLIC Y-WING) and [LFS]Y-wing / Y-wing-Bombardier - These are the same ships, and the smaller of the two says it has numerous errors, while the one that supposedly works is 167MB. Every server I've seen try to use these has complaints of lag as well.
• [LFS] IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tank - I like this one, but according to description and comments it says it goes way faster than it should.
• [LFS] AOTR Skin Pack for Fisher's LAAT/i Gunship - This, plus the required [LFS] LAAT/i Gunship variant, adds up to 270MB+. Not really a great benefit when what is already in place works fine.
• (LFS) STAR WARS: Coruscant Guard LAAT - This also requires the [LFS] LAAT/i Gunship variant, but a CG skin is included in the above one, so why suggest this?
• [LFS] Star Wars | IPV-2C Stealth Corvette - Cool I guess, not really sure when it would be used though.

 

I didn't test any of these myself, but that's about even with you not including any information about any of these addons or why they should be added. Anyways, just reading the descriptions alone I can find problems with just about all of the addons you linked. I don't think development time should be put towards implementing these and testing them with all their additional requirements, especially when most of what is suggested doesn't fit the server, already exists on it, or is a duplicate within your own suggestion. Realistically, adding more things to the server's catalogue of LFS vehicles past what has already been suggested just delays the time before the server moves on to LVS, which is actively supported and is getting more things made for it in recent times, such as a working AT-RT (which the server and 41st in particular has been waiting for for quite some time).

I can tell I spent more time writing this comment that you did searching for these and evaluating if they're worthwhile adding to the server.

[New Guild Lore Character.]

I don't think this had permission, and even if it did I would be -1ing it since Bossk would be better suited as an event character. I appreciate you going out of your way to post this and try to improve the Citizen faction though!

[[Accepted] Pot's - Ban Appel]

I dont know how you got an ion disruptor, but this is why it shouldnt really be spawned in casually.

Was "found" in a box during event, most of 104th got them.

[[Accepted] Pot's - Ban Appel]

It is difficult to remain unbiased in this since I am also in the 104th with you and you were talking about the incident itself and talking about the process of writing your appeal, but I will give my honest thoughts on the matter based on the clip itself.

Even though this was an accident, I do believe you should be a bit smarter with an explosive weapon such as the Ion Disruptor. You were in the middle of a huge group of people with people running/flying in front of you constantly, you should try to be aware of your surroundings more with that. I accidentally killed people during the event, however not to this extreme, and that was mostly due to the AOE of where it landed, not because I was shooting next to people or right over several peoples' shoulders. As you can see in the clip, a 212th even runs right through your line of fire a very small time before you shot, this was not a smart place to shoot from.

Because of this, I do not believe a full 5 day ban is in order for this, so perhaps a reduction would be the best course of action. The lack of much effort into this appeal also make it harder to +1, and lack of taking any responsibility makes it even more difficult. If I was in another battalion I would -1 a full unban with a +1 for a reduction, so I am forced to be fair here and do the same.

[Tracking Terrible Terrorists]

Gameplay: 4/5 - Enjoyed being able to find things and build our own rp was enjoyable enough.

Care and Effort: 4/5 - I feel like the story could have been more apparent, and perhaps more effort for setup, like building something to change the map a bit. I did load in a bit late but experienced enough that I feel it's still fair that I can rate.

Server Performance: 5/5 - No complaints as usual.

[[Denied] Jumes discord ban appeal]

+1I think he should be unbanned (assuming this appeal is something that is permitted or whatever time has expired - 1 month seems fair to me). As he is still active in the community he should be allowed to be in the community discord to talk with people from other battalions and see server progress such as the GitHub channel.

[3 munis above base]

Gameplay: 2/5 - Droids were impossible to shoot, and just kept coming. I didn't really get any RP.

Care and Effort: 2/5 - The ships came in super low, shot wrong with the TLs, and it just didn't seem like much effort was given.

Server Performance: 5/5 - Fine I guess.

I know you can improve with a bit more effort and ensuring things are set properly before beginning. I do appreciate you taking the time to do it but this is some honest feedback that will hopefully help you provide more exciting and engaging events.

[Admiral Banana's Downfall...]

Gameplay: 4/5 - I think it could have had a bit more variety during the event, as it was essentially a shoot-em-up.

Care and Effort: 4/5 - Perfectly fine event but improvement is possible.

Server Performance: 5/5 - No issues for me.

[Dire Company (RCMD Approved)]

7 minutes ago, Mystic said:

Dire Squad can't consistently fill their lore characters let alone 6 extra jobs. 

-1. Remove them.

This.

Also, I do not think expanding Dire Squad into a company is a good idea for 104th or for the server. I don't see why this would make anybody want to join Dire Squad, as all it would do would make it harder to get the lore characters inside it, and realistically Dire Company Troopers would do the same exact things that regular 104th do. This would just make the lore characters in Dire Squad more elite (since they would be in charge), and add a "wait time" before someone can get those characters (realistically they would end up being required to be trooper for a bit). That is the exact opposite of what Dire Squad needs right now. -1

I can read the future: if this is accepted people will later ask for a Dire Squad Trooper job since it's a thing in the battalion, and will argue that it makes sense since it's already in the server. This just seems like a way to slowly get that in a couple months.

[Ghost's BCMD Wolffe Application]

16 minutes ago, Coal said:

But nah I'm the main subject matter after reading it I can see what your trying to do but there no actual plan for it just simple shit any officer can do, fuck I used to do ARC and wolfpack Docs even though I was never lead or Commander(at the time). I will fuck with you but other than that I will just -1 I don't care about detail neither so you good on that broski.

What is bro blabbing about?

Anyways I would like to say that you are a good guy, Ghost, but a lot of the things here could’ve been achieved already via your current position (by your own admission). However, you still haven’t achieved or even started any of this. I understand that having officer votes needed for a lot of it can delay things, but you could always bring these things up to the current CMD to get his authorization to bypass that. Otherwise, just post all your ideas back to back for officer voting and say there’s 24-48 hours to vote, which in the long run won’t really delay you that much (for example, the time spent to planning this application could have been spent getting all those items posted for a vote). 

I think you could use a bit more time to fully understand the position and prove that you’ll actually achieve some of the things on this list before getting Wolffe. I also do not like the idea of expanding Dire Squad at all as it is a useless subunit that nobody prefers. The huge preference of people wanting WP over DS can be seen by how Wolfpack is being hogged by only the top ranking people in the battalion (many of whom have been allowed to be inactive in WP during your time as WPXO) with only one or two exceptions. -1

[More music discs]

I'd prefer more Star Wars music. It isn't difficult to make these musics discs, so we shouldn't settle for Halo stuff just because it exists already on the workshop.

On 10/1/2023 at 6:41 AM, Marvel said:

To clarify as well media players being broken isn't something on our end.

After speaking with Marvel and Xaze, I believe the media player just needs to be updated, then it should work again. Since the media player (at least to me, I was given no guarantee) seems like it should work again, I am -1ing this, since the time to add these in is comparable to that of fixing the media player (which is honestly a better solution that adding a bunch of server content with the discs, and gives people more control over what they have to hear during events).

If for some reason the media player cannot be fixed to work on the server, then count this as a +1 even though Halo music only really "fits" for events; debriefs should use Star Wars music.

[Green Company Improvements]

-1 no

[Wildflower]

Gameplay: 5/5 - Can't rate this fairly since we seemingly went in the wrong way but being allowed to do that by the GM is cool

Care and Effort: 2/5 - Dupe just looked like a few random props thrown down

Server Performance: 4/5 - Ok

[Bring back Rotation Schedule]

-1 You can do this without a suggestion. Just convince a GM to do it. 

[Give Improcco Bowcasters]

1 hour ago, Brooklyn said:

I love the bowcaster, but personally I would like to see it come as an in-game store item then have it restricted to a subunit 

-1

How come I knew as soon as I heard someone suggested to make it a store item that it’d be you? Let the free-to-play people and children who don’t have a job yet have something rather than spending a whole car’s worth on Garry’s Mod roleplay. Not everything on the server needs to be a permaweapon and make the server more pay to win than it already is.

+1 let Improcco have something cool. 

[Walon Vau Job/Whitelist]

14 hours ago, Guac said:

A bit confused, unless this is part of a plan to implement other lore "bh"?

Also, because Walon and RC are so interconnected, it seems like an incredibly odd ask for this to be done with no explanation at all? Not to mention, that I think it would create un-necessary issues between BH and RC, arguing about standards and expectations for this sort of thing.

I think the current; contract = using the model on your BH and the lore name, seems to work best.

Is there any reasoning you could add to explain this decision?

Um sir, you are currently not caring for anybody in SOBDE that are not in position of power making them feel that their opinions don’t matter at all.

9 minutes ago, Rizzo said:

Walon is permanently contracted with Delta Squad and is a member of SOBDE.

Shouldn't this job be an SOBDE suggestion then, and not something that would go into BH? If it's used exclusively by SOBDE then it should be suggested towards their job limit. -1

[The Return of Foxtrot]

Why would 212th give up 4 whitelists for a subunit that 212th does not control?

Because 212th wants to implement something that will go well, saying they want to work with SOBDE. I can't imagine SOBDE would work against you guys having a great subunit if they were in charge of it as an outreach of sorts. If they were doing that, I have no question that high command would step in on your guys' behalf. If there's no trust from your guys' side, why should they trust you enough to +1 this?

Also you literally said the Barlex and 212th Officer whitelists aren't used, and the GC ones wouldn't be used in this scenario. So you're not losing much of anything it sounds like to me, especially when in a couple weeks you guys will just suggest to add the Barlex model to another job, essentially meaning it was never removed.

[The Return of Foxtrot]

35 minutes ago, Rizzo said:

Not to mention how much inflation 212th will see in numbers just because people will join to wait for an RC spot. This inflation would negatively impact the rest of the server immensely. 

Now this guy studies economics! FJB and the federal reserve printing more money!

I also see people saying high staff approved this post, this doesn't mean high staff think it's a good idea at all. They just think it could do with community feedback and might have been intending to deny it unless it is resoundingly +1ed. Given how it currently is anything but that, the acceptance of this would only piss SOBDE off and make them feel their opinions don't matter at all. You say you didn't circumvent SOBDE, but you did when you went to high staff to get their approval instead. Good luck getting them to want to work with you guys at all.

 

25 minutes ago, KaiserNeiner said:

With it being clear that this is getting a little heated, I'm not going to include the names that have offered help and support.

Why? SOBDE Command obviously cannot take any action against them, or they would be reported and removed so quickly that their shoes wouldn't be on yet before they're out the door. Failing to actually name anyone makes me think Super's right and this is actually just one person.
 

19 minutes ago, KaiserNeiner said:

No one has offered me a peak at anything and no one has offered me classified information. I have been offered guidance from previous Foxtrot members and help building tryout dupes from current SOBDE members who enjoy Foxtrot that have experience in the field. 

If you don't think they're just going to base the tryout off information and dupes that SOBDE has used in the past (or even their current ones), and stuff they likely have built their current tryouts off of with adaptations, then you are an idiot. There's 100% going to be sections of the tryout that are the same. If SOBDE will have influence over the tryout, why not just give them actual control over it like they asked for? Otherwise these assurances are worth nothing to me. Because that's how it went last time. A similar thing was done where SOBDE came in, helped make the tryouts, helped host, got things to be the same standards, and then after that it fell apart in a few short weeks to meet the rock bottom standards that some expect to see here.

Assuming foxtrot would be a bunch a rejects is insane and assuming that the tryout won't be hard is absolutely insane

Just now, SaintCrys said:

This was discussed a lot with everyone and Kaiser made sure it was just add a RC unit to 212th and not make it hard to get into. If yall worried about people getting a easy RC whitelist yall should probably get some coping medicine. 

- 🤖

That's literally one of the concerns that people have and you just contradicted yourself about it. So much for keeping it to SOBDE standards like the suggestion says it would. Anyways, seeing the disconnect here between SOBDE and 212th members makes me highly doubt the implementation of this would go well at all. During these first few tryouts that SOBDE members are invited to go to, if they say the tryout is too easy, are you guys actually going to listen to them? The only way that SOBDE RC and 212th RC can be guaranteed to stay in any way comparable (given they have the same kit and have the same name, they should be) would be if you guys actually had assurances that SOBDE will retain control over selections, and that you guys actually care about the input of their leadership. Neither of which seems to be the case here.

It's also interesting seeing a failure of anybody to mention who the mystery SOBDE supporters of this are, probably because they are not anybody remotely in a position of power in the battalion.

past 3 Barlex’s did NOT like being on the actual job, and would often prefer to sit on 2ndAC SUP if they have their training due to the low benefits of the Barlex whitelist.

When this suggestion is denied for being the most idiotic thing I've ever seen, I have an idea for a suggestion for you to make. Or maybe don't put people into a position if they don't want to play the job for it... Idk.

-1 Bro really said lets add RC into 212th without having the agreement of the person in charge of RC. Having seen how poorly 212th's subunits can be managed in the past, there's no way Foxtrot wouldn't just be rejects who can't pass an actual SOBDE tryout after the initial bump of old people coming back for it dies out.

[Free stuff]

343 - My favorite number
It’s amazing how people meet, like you did in Orlando with Aaron

I wish all community banned members could be freed from their chains. 

 

[[Denied] Graveman Ban Appeal]

+1 Free him. I remember Vincero/Kingston from when I was Gree. Wasn't a bad guy by any means, just says and does some things without thinking at times. I only see one recent arrest (from 4/16/23) aside from the one for the MassRDM for STEAM_0:0:149979785 / 76561198260225298 on the CG Public Arrest Records, and I don't think previous bans from last year should be a major factor in a ban for MassRDM. I think the ban length (six months) should be shortened substantially, anywhere between one to three months.

Btw, this ban was issued by Head Admin Rohan, @Sample, you can edit your post to include that if you want.
