Why should you become Governor?:
I believe I should become Governor because of a few things, first off I would like to bring up dedication, I have been an active member of the guild and guild leadership for around 2 years. During this time, I have learned a ton about the Guild, as well as learning a ton about the senate and overall the aspect the civilian faction has over the server. I believe that I can do what is needed for the betterment of the faction overall, I believe I have what it takes to be a good leader of not just the Guild, but the Senate overall. Since my last application, I have learned a ton about the Senate, including a few talks with Law (the current Mas) and Kiara (current Senior Senator), as well as watching a few senate selections so I can understand more about the Senate. I believe I have a firm grasp of what the senate is, as well as what it can become. My experience within the Guild is relatively self explanatory, I have been within Guild Leadership for a long time, and I understand a lot of what the Guild needs, as well as just overall understanding of what makes the faction fun or not. I believe I am one of the people with the most experience regarding the Guild and the Senate, and that's what would make me a good Governor.

Give a brief overview of your achievements and experience on the server:
I have been playing on the server for around 2 years now, and have been in many different positions. I will go over my most applicable and notable ones however.
104th CPT Mortar
This was my first ever lore and officer position, as Mortar I got my first feel at what it was to run a sub branch, leading ARF, and being an Wolfpack, and being an officer in 104th, which gave me a very nice taste at what running a group was like.
SOBDE
During my time as SOBDE I have been Delta XO Sev, and Delta Lead Boss, during this period, I managed to have a pretty active squad, and was very happy with what my squad had turned into when I ended up resigning.
Guild Marshal x2
Guild Marshal the first time around was very interesting, as Kiara can tell you, I was a decent Marshal to begin with, I did my evals, and cloak certs, and overall maintained positive interactions within the server, within my first term as Marshal, I became more and more lenient with myself and rules, and by the end was just getting on to fuck around and push the limits. My second time around was much better, I was doing my evals and Cloak certs of course, but I was also doing more work than before, such as discipline, I did not get in any trouble during my time as Guild Marshal the second time around.
Guild Lieutenant
During my time as Guild Lieutenant I learned a ton about the inner workings of the guild, such as how base raids, and overall Guild Leadership activity, can affect activity overall of the Guild. In this time, I focused a lot on keeping the Guild healthy, this included me putting a ton of bounties up, (a lot of which are claimed by now) Hysterical and I also had the Data Heist and into the Vault taken out, which was and still is a controversial thing. While Date Heist did provide a lot of RP and activity on the server, we believed it was in our best interest to remove it for the time being, with the possibility of it being added back in the future.
Senator Gume Saam
During my time as Gume, I was actively hitting my quotas, but I got bored of it very fast, as I burnt myself out. During this time I learned what type of RP is good and entertaining with a senator, as well as what type is boring from a senator.
Guild Leader
During my time as Guild Leader I have been actively attempting to fill up my cabinet, the Guild Cabinet consists of 3 Marshals, and 2 Lieutenants, currently we have 1 lieutenant being Reborn, 2 Marshals being Fyko and Price, but we are actively recruiting, and have some people currently in the process of becoming a Marshal to help out with stuff. Within the position of Guild Leader, I have accomplished a decent amount. One of my greatest accomplishments for me personally is just being able to see double digit hunters a fair amount, as well as just seeing overall Guild activity increase.
What do you feel the role of the Governor is?:
I believe the role of the Governor is to provide oversight for both the Guild and the Senate, the main role is to make sure that they are both running correctly, and to respond to any problems within the guild or senate. The governor is meant to step in to help out either faction when they need it. The governor is meant to start RP in game as well, because they are the governor of the planet, they can do a lot of in character role play that will connect the clones with the guild, as well as connecting the clones with the senate, as well as with Jedi and Naval. I believe he is also supposed to be a huge communication factor, he is there to address overall concerns within each factions, not to micro manage them, but if the Governor sees something is not happening the way they want or believe it is supposed to be happening, they are there to make sure it happens the way they want. The role of the Governor is to keep both the senate and Guild running smoothly, and provide insight into both senate and Guild.
Do you have a microphone?: Yes
Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?: Yes
How do you plan to improve relations between the guild and the server?:
I plan to improve relations between the Guild and the server by having them more integrated into overall RP. By more integrated into RP I mean that they will be an active part of events, as well as starting RP themselves outside of events. I believe one of the biggest ways to have more passive RP go on overall, is to put more RP related bounties up. A lot of these RP bounties could be friendly, but hostile bounties are always good if they have RP to go along with them. A lot of the current RP has mainly been leading up to base raids, or directly after base raids. One of the things that is very basic, but I believe needs to be said, is to increase the reward for contracts, currently there's not really a reason to get contracts, as there isn’t an incentive. The easiest incentive to use for this would be credits or renown. Bounties have also been very hostile recently, which I will blame myself for, as I have added most of them, but I have been starting to incentivize being friendly and “hostile” without actually killing people. I believe while hostile does bring a decent amount to the table in terms of the Guild, it is not all that Hunters can do. Hostile RP does bring a lot to the server, especially when done correctly, but it is not all that should be done while people are on their bounty hunters. Onto a different subject, one of the things that I really hate that's been going on recently, is the talk that BH is just there to be hostile, and that's all there is to them. We as Guild Leadership have attempted to change this mentality by offering a lot of more friendly things to lean towards, such as friendly things to get paid for, usually simple, but still get paid for them. The main reason I believe that Hunters are typically more hostile is the idea that you can “only” have fun from killing other players and PVPing. I strongly do not believe this to be the case. Recently a few of the things I have tried to do have worked out pretty well, instead of going immediately to hostilities like much Hunters want, instead of base raids Guild Leadership has been trying to resolve things more peacefully. Of course we still do want to incentivize hostile Hunter RP, we just don’t wish for it to be the only thing that Hunters have to do while on. One of the huge ways to improve relations is simple as well, if there is a full leadership team, then there will naturally be less rules being broken, as there will be more people to enforce the rules. The Guild Leadership is there to enforce the rules, the more people there are to enforce the rules, the more people will be informed about the rules, and therefore the less rules will be broken. A lot of the problems that come from Hunter RP is terrorist RP which is obviously against the rules, which a full and active leadership team could fix.
