Hey Lovestruck, honestly this was the one I was waiting for. I’m going to tackle this comment in parts so please bare with me.
Council Meeting Concern: When I first became master under @Sixta, one of the first things I told him, and the current High Council at the time, was that due to my work schedule and availability on the weekends, 2PM is too early and I would never be able to make a meeting unless I called in sick, or quit my job. And no offence, but the meeting isn’t more important than making money.
Activity Concern: The big one, at the time of my removal from Plo Koon, I had a lot going on in my IRL situation that was very bad for not only my physical, but mental health. For starters, I have a seemingly spontaneous condition called uveitis (look it up if you want), which is a total inflammation that targets my eyes. Which caused me to miss almost a month of school collectively, setting me behind. Also meaning that for a long period of time, I physically could not get on the server because my eyes were extremely light sensitive. At the time of my removal, I was having another big flare up in my right eye. Currently I still can’t see through my right eye, and my left is still a bit blurry, but through all of this I still challenge myself to be on almost everyday, and put up this Rex application. Because it’s something I’m very passionate about. Secondly, in the past few weeks before my removal a lot of big events were happening in my life. Prom being one of them, and for us Canadian’s, finals. I’m a big advocate for IRL coming before GMod, and I still am. I believe I did what was necessary for my IRL situation, and I have no regrets for the activity problems as it was either not preventable, or my time was taken away to study for my finals so I can get into University. (Seems a little more important to me)
Current/Future Activity: Now, I would love to promise you consistent, 8 hours a day activity. But I can’t. My availability is included in my application, it’s been the same for the past 3 years of playing on synergy, it hasn’t changed at all. Now, I’ve slowly been increasing my activity as I’m feeling more and more confident with my medical conditions current status to play on the server. But realistically, I don’t know if I’ll wake up one morning and lose all vision in my eyes. It’s pretty bad lol. But what I can promise is that no matter what, even through my current condition I’ve been making strides and making attempts to reach the activity requirement so that I can be there for 501st when they need me. What good is a BCMD if he is never present? I refuse to put this battalion through a BCMD who won’t even get on the server, I hold myself to that standard just as any other BCMD. And I will try my absolute best to reach it. It’s important to note that I have IRL needs, like schooling and work, that of which takes up my time when I’m not on the server, but I’ve been working diligently to balance all 3!
Hopefully that clears up your concern with activity, it’s also nice to explain my side of things since you happened to mention my removal from Plo. Hopefully you understand the sudden drop in activity at that time. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!
This answers anything I was concerned about. So long as you truly feel like you can do it, you have my support. Good luck!

You're active and a solid member of the community. I think you should at least get the interview.

You've had some real activity issues, to the point where you were removed from Plo Koon in 104th, and have missed almost every council meeting there has been since I've joined the Jedi. However, if you can ensure you'll meet the activity requirements, I'll change to a +1.

They've denied all the Rex apps...
They also denied all the Bacara apps, so they "dissolved" 21st and "made" Galactic Marines...
I think we all know what this means guys...
The new battalion that Jad mentioned in the meeting?
Vader's Fist Battalion confirmed.-

One of the most interactive and well-planned events I've ever played. Server struggled, but that's due to the map mainly. I loved the challenge, and the sim roleplay in the beginning.
Checks out for a Soccer event. On your way to being a legend my friend!-

Gotta be honest man, the app lacks a little detail. I like the fact that you're straight to the point, and you want to keep Rancor running as it does now.
I deeply love the fact that you want to increase your work with other battalion's ARC troopers. I personally believe this is how it should be, and I haven't seen much of this before, although take that with a grain of salt, as I am neither ARC nor in Rancor.
I'm gonna give an overall +1
I've seen your work in Synergy, and how adamantly and deeply you care for the things you put your effort into, namely being TG, which you express deep care for. You are also a very friendly and kind person, very enjoyable to be around. The only thing I'd like to see is a little more detail and plan in your application.

Gonna miss you man. Good luck with life.

It's definitely an unexpected turn of events, DU will miss you, but I think you'd be perfect for the position. I've seen a lot from you. Good luck!

MASSIVE +1
Gears has been doing an astounding job as Senator. He as active, persistent, and has a true and genuine love for the position he is in. He brings Senate to a new level as just a Senior Senator, and I believe he will do FANTASTIC for the Senate as Mas Ameda.
I know his past is questionable, or has questionable moments, but since he's returned I believe entirely that he has changed. He is mature, friendly, and an icon on the server, even being a generally unknown Senator. I believe even if you had problems with him long ago, he is worthy of another shot, especially with how well he's proven himself with Senate this far.

Unpopular opinion but +1
His reasons are solid, and to me his defense is solid. A stealth section, especially with the removal of a large stealth section (SO), should get cloaks.
Sure, it seems like they're asking for more, but GC isn't that huge. 2AC is the entirety of 212th right now, so I don't think using GC's size as a reason not to is especially valid. At least not with the removal of another stealth unit.
Cloaking devices are a little OP sure, but it's not like he's asking to give them to all of 212th, or all of 2AC. He's asking that his stealth sub gets stealth gear and I support that.

my only complaint is how do you make this worth the months of my life i've wasted on this server
It's goddamn pathetic. This is the most backhanded thing they could have done.
They did this all with NO WARNING.
They gave the 21st officers SIX HOURS to decide what they were going to do after this SUDDEN change,
They removed all of the people who put in MONTHS of work, MONTHS of dedication, then gave them a pity prize of "well you can have a new position in this battalion! But it's gonna be much lower"
And they're pretending this is a "new battalion" so they can justify doing whatever they want with it, and to be able to run away and avoid calling it what this really is. It's sly. It's backwards. It's pathetic.
I don't care how they try to justify this. There were PLENTY of other options. This was manipulative and deceitful. It screwed over the players and it hurt the community. I have never had such low confidence in the High Command. I just only hope that this turns out well, but even then I'm not sure it will have been worth it.
Edit: I had written this before Gadget's post, but after reading that he wasn't even INFORMED has absolutely ensured in my mind and the rest of the communities that this was NOT EVEN DISCUSSED WITH 21ST. There was NO effort to communicate, NO effort to fix this. This was the lazy option. The easy option for them.
Shame on everyone who supported this without even attempting at a real fix.
EDIT: I've spoken with Bacta and Maddox privately, and I have not been banned or demoted.
WHILE I STILL DISAGREE WITH THE SITUATION and how it was handled, there is a lot to the story that I did not know.
I URGE EVERYONE to speak with the Bacta and Maddox. They will accept any criticism. God knows I gave them a lot. The thing is, THEY ARE LISTENING, and several things have already been changed with this plan due to the community giving their thoughts an opinions. They are BOTH willing to have 1 on 1 conversations, and will both listen.-
