Daytona211 Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Hello, My name is Day/Khufu, I am the new GMD of the Gamemaster team and have been with Synergy for 2 years now. We will be going through some gamemaster changes in the coming weeks which I am excited to share with you all! My goal is to bring event quality up and work on brining quantity up once we have a good standard set. Feel free to contact me in TS3 or Discord if you have questions all the changes are listed below and in the source document (it is easier to read on the google doc)https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hoHYrm1sxxKoet8P9gCZaaZwCWNcSmZmEJpaJFq_KwQ/edit?usp=sharing More changes are coming, and documentation will be written to expand on these, If you want more info feel free to reach out (Consider this my application since I never posted one) Name: Day /Khufu SteamID: STEAM_0:1:59859630 Current Staff Rank: Senior Administrator Are you Currently a GH?:Yes How long have you played on the server? [Hours]: 2929:52:05. From 1-10, what would you rate your knowledge of the Clone Wars?: 8/10 How good are your Communication and Leadership Skills?: 8/10 Do you understand that if you are inactive, you will be removed from the program?: Yes Give us an Event idea that you would like to produce: Operation: Broken Bark Place the links below of at least 2 Events you have been a GM for (Optional): Some notable ones Battalion of the Year Galactic Conquest Part 1 Operation Roggwart Shield Changes to the Program:1. Documentation: Events must have a Document associated with them, these documents are NOT meant to be a shackle but meant to be a plan of action and a companion for you during your event. These documents MUST be completed PRIOR to an event, you can feel free to make enhancements during or after an event but all required material must be at least partially completed prior to the event start. This will countI encourage you to plan these out thoroughly before your events so that each event has each action thought out and you are never in a position where “Oh crap, I didn’t think the players would do that”. Event Example / template: Operation: Broken BarkRequired fields: In game lore of the event: The lore this event (can be as big or small as wanted) NPC Overview: The HP, Accuracy, Model and other data about the enemy NPCsEvent Job overview: The HP, Accuracy, Model and other data about the event jobsEvent overview: A full walk through of the main scenarios of the event (see example below) Debrief / Conclusion: Wrap up of how event is meant to end / launching off points for future events2.

GMO + can observe in the following ways: 1. Sitting in the channel when an event is happening 2. Helping with an event 3. Participating in an event as a player The most important thing is that you notice who is hosting / helping and how the event is going and giving feedback on it to the GM one on one after the event is over. Once again there IS NO QUOTA FOR THIS BUT IT IS PART OF YOUR JOB 3. Updated Rule Document Changes highlighted in red Additions highlighted in green https://docs.google.com/document/d/11uv6PjbQV7dHQdjKwjV7ijrxt_tmRZNdGNF7P7EQVEw/edit?usp=sharing 4.

Rating System The rating system will be going back to what it should have been. The 0-10 system 6. Public suggestion / grievance form 7. Gamemaster meetings are now PUBLIC Meaning that anyone can join and listen in. Anything that is private will be discussed individually with the members they are about. We will also allow a “Players PTS” which will allow players to ask questions should they want to. 8. New AAR protocol https://synergyroleplay.com/forums/topic/4624-after-action-report-template/ This template will no longer be used. Your AAR is your event doc. If you have any information (storyline related) that isn’t to be shared to the public please remove it from the doc before posting. You must post the following to the forums for every event: 1. Your event document link 2. The scoring template (see photo in #5) 9.

Fyi Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'm not sure about the documentation thing. Some of the best events are a good idea that is executed quickly after a person thinks about it, and I feel like even though your objective isn't to bog people down before doing events, I still feel like that might be the case. That would be something that would have to be closely monitored to make sure that it's not negatively affecting the program. 3 Report hi. Link to comment
Maverick Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I used to do stuff like that in another community that Day and I were apart of. The Documentation is absolute fantastic idea as it shows that you are willing to put more thought into the work that you want to put out there for the players to enjoy and it shows that you can do more than just spawn npcs and say "oh this guy is like fuck you and die" The rating system is good, glad to see its back where it should be. Thank you @Daytona211 and others who were part of these changes, looking forward to more! 1 1 Report Link to comment

That would be something that would have to be closely monitored to make sure that it's not negatively affecting the program. I will be sure to monitor this. I encourage all gamemasters to write these docs days in advance of there event. Essentially they should have a backlog of events so whenever they feel like hosting one they can just pull one from the list and execute it. So maybe you don't have time to host an event today but you can plan one / create the dupes instead and then when the time comes to execute on it you have everything written down and ready to go.

Good advice all around though! Idk giving members of the program more steps when people are already hesitant about AAR writing and other stuff is kinda pepega in my opinion. Docs are cool but if someone is doing a simple shoot em up to pass time because they have to get off but no one else is stepping up for an event or any situation similar to that is gonna end up being cucked by docs. And you don’t need a doc to do a good event if you’re an organized person, I wrote docs for maybe 1/5th of all the events I’ve ever done, and still managed to keep up.

I haven't seen one except for MAYBE the GM training handed down from Jackson. This is a complete overhaul from someone who's never been a GM here. Pretty drastic imo. Rule-maker and rule-breaker.

Piff Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Are teams still a thing in the GM program? Cause i think teams are really really really flawed and unfair towards the people who actually do work in the team and then have those who do nothing “I’m not toxic, It’s just hard not to treat you like an idiot” ~ Logic Link to comment

OkamiHybrid Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I remember some of you're gm stuff from ASG/axiom if I recall correctly, and the format you're introducing seems similar to what it was like when joe was GMC(not at all a bad thing, I remember when Joe was GMC it was great) really like that upper level gamemasters have a quota to meet in regards to events now, always noticed that during my time in staff and even outta it GMM+ really didn't do much in regards to events, good luck and hopefully it works out :) Link to comment
