ISNIFFPROPANE Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Name: Null-11 Captain Ordo Skirata Suggestion: Removing the Rule saying that you can't say "Go Up One" during promotions in debrief. Implementation: This rule is honestly just a meme on the server... like I don't see who or what it benefits. Sure it's to try to get people to be more immersive or whatever, but people just go around it anyways to make a joke out of it like "Private Stretchy Balls, go up one to PFC". It also just pains me to see some nervous new officer going up to promote some private, and saying "Go up one" because they forgot and then they get arrested. Like I just find this rule really pointless and negative if anything so that's why I'm making the suggestion.

If you're going to promote someone you need to know what rank they're going to. I can't really imagine a scenario where this comes in to play. "Oh uh....Hey Jake go up one...I forgot the rank but go up one, youve been doing good" If you're intent on promoting someone, you should know what rank they're going to prior to promoting them, yes people can forget but if they're an officer that probably means they've been in a battalion for some time to go through the ranks, at the very least remember 'some'. Plus if you don't know what rank they're going to (i.e forgetting) you shouldn't be promoting inthe first place. +1 however since i personally wouldn't mind if this existed or not. I can't neutral so lul. Link to comment

Retired Founder Ron Posted November 17, 2019 Retired Founder Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Honestly it should be required to give atleast a mini-Technodad related speech when someone is being promoted to any NCO+ rank. I wouldn't put too much effort into ranks under NCOs but if you're promoting someone to LT. and you can barely comprehend the ability to say a sentence or two as their CO just shows your lack of motivation and resonates throughout your officer branch. Keep promotion speeches under 3-5 minutes, but if you can't formulate atleast a sentence I don't think you should even be promoting people 🦞 4 8 Report Link to comment

There are so many NCOs that I personally feel like that it would get repetitive quickly "You got your promotion requirements, go to (insert rank here) when officer promotions actually got battalion high command recognition. 1 Report Link to comment
Buzz Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 +1 Figure out the ranking structure, if you're promoting you should be able to say the rank and pending on what rank give a reason for the promotion, it isn't that hard but common sense isn't so common anymore.

Agent Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 -1 Promotions shouldn't be something that is a simple "Go up one".

Even though I don't have anything to say most of the time, I will put effort and customisation when I promote my men, mainly because I work with them and I know who respects me the most on the server and which people look up to me more than others (hint: it's 90% of the time, my men) So I say +1 to removing it for enlisted because it isn't hard to get from PVT-CPL I'm on the bar about NCOs because yes they work hard, but some people don't care and would rather say "go up one" -1 to removing it for officers because they worked for that position for a while to get it Edited November 17, 2019 by Willyworm1 Master of the Order Mace Windu (Current) | DU VET Sergeant (Current) | Mas Amedda (Former) | 327th Battalion Commander Bly (Former) Link to comment

It shows how you are as an officer. Lazy. Show your soldiers a bit of interest. While I do believe lower ranks below SGT don't deserve that much effort, anything above does.

Hayley Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 -1 -- I have to agree with Joah, Agent, and Foxey. The phrase "go up one" shows laziness, and for an officer promoting, no matter what rank, there should always be effort put in. Because it also shows the player who is getting promoted that you care about them/you noticed the work they put in. Yeah it might not be hard for enlisted to get promoted, but some may not know that, and some may be putting in a lot of work. Everyone who is getting promoted deserves the effort, because it goes a long way. And if an officer is unable to do it properly they shouldn't be doing it, and they should be working with other officers in the battalion to be able to stand on the stand and promote properly. 3 Report Link to comment

Bolt Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 -1 GIVE EFFORT WHEN PROMOTING PEOPLE The person clearly did something good for existing, even a simple "You did well battling on the frontlines today." is a perfect addition to a promotion for someone who may be a PVT or PFC, but the reason for promotion should be recognized, such as a SFC going on a recruitment spree, that should also be recognized, saying "go up one" is just someone generally being lazy, no clone in the clone wars would also just say something like "go up one".

Prophet Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 -1 Just saying "go up one" obviously is just lazy as your barley giving any effort to give the promotions, and shows you don't give a damn for your troopers. Put actual and some effort into it alright. While I do agree that its unnecessary for an Officer to be giving a speech for an enlisted promotion, as it really is not hard to get promoted within enlisted ranks, at least say what rank they're going up to. I do agree and like what @Ron and a few others had said, as those would be great. It isn't that hard guys. Link to comment

Retired Founder Joah Posted November 19, 2019 Retired Founder Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Yes it is, when you're promoted in the military, your CO. Does not state. "Hey, good job out there, go up one buddy- pat on the back" - Unless you're a lowly private in which some cases, they still get some small talking to. A CO will perform an actual ceremony or "mini ceremony" with family around to see their family member progress in life. Usually in the military based off numerous videos you can use as sources. Enlisted - Usually takes 20 seconds - 1 minute to promote. SGT+ - Usually has a celebration in regards to this. About 2-5 minutes. Cpt+ Usually takes about.. Roughly 10-20 minutes of discussion and a major celebration after. Your actions as an officer not only gain you respect showing your soldiers this type of appreciation but it also reflects on your character. In my private debrief's I'd make sure to tell them why they got promoted and would reflect on their hard-work to make them feel valued. Saying "Go up 1" is probably one of the most disrespectful and lazy traits of being an officer. It shows you have no care to tell your soldier that you give a single ounce of a fuck of them and demoralizes the rank. Obviously i'm not saying to take 3-20000000 minutes to promote someone. Just put some effort in lad. Lmfao. Rather than being cognitivley sarcastic as well, just make your statement clear. No need to be an asshole by stating "Apparently". Just say it how it is. You don't believe officers are lazy based off their promotions and how they do it. I whole heartily disagree. I've been in the SWRP Community Since the first month of its creation in Garry's Mod and can tell you it's easy to spot the difference between an officer that his troopers or her troopers will follow because of their respect and commitment. Paperwork / doing docs does not make you a good officer. At the end of the day, the people you lead look to you, and if you can shine a good battalion and create good relationships and everyone is able to smile and be immersed in a role play server that Officer is top tier. Not just "doing duties because I have to". That's a parent to child mentality. Good luck out their officers. Make a difference in someone's life. Be a leader, not a "I have to" guy. 5 hours ago, Jax said: +1 Apparently the difference between "go up one" and "move to [rank]" is the center core tenet holding the officer corps together and separating the lazy from the hard working and respectful. 2 3 Report Link to comment
