Management Marvel Posted August 6, 2021 Management Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) "In my book, experience outranks everything." Steam Name: Ruusaar RP Name: Executive Officer Hawk RP Rank: Executive Officer Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:445805193 Battalion or Squad you are applying for: The 501st Legion Experience: I’m not going to write about my time in each position I’ve held but rather list them below somewhat in chronological order: Clone: CT PVT Elevator Delta Squad Sev 501st PVT - MSG, JTT, Drill, Recruiter of the Month Null-7 Lieutenant Mereel Null-12 Sergeant A’den Null-6 Lieutenant Kom’rk Null-11 Captain Ordo (Null XO) Delta Squad Boss 41st PVT - SGT Null-Class ARC Trooper Jaing SOBDE Regimental Commander 501st Torrent Company PVT 327th PVT - SGT, K-Company Delta Squad Fixer Delta Squad Boss (Round 2) 104th PVT - CSM, ENGL, Wolfpack Tracer CG ARC SGM Bad Batch Hunter 332nd ARC Lieutenant Jesse Torrent Company CPT Boomer Torrent Company CMD Hawk Executive Officer of the 501st Other: Jedi Youngling - Jedi Master Several Jedi Branch Management positions Jedi Commander Etain Tur-Mukan Naval Senior NCO and ENGO Senator Lux Bonteri of Onderon New Admin - Head Admin Game Helper - Game Master Manager Former Game Master Chief Former CWRP Director Trainer :) and attempted Trainer Officer :) Medal of Honor Recipient Why should you become a Battalion Commander?: With my previous experience in leadership positions I believe I make a perfect candidate for the position. I have an immense amount of server knowledge, leadership skills, and problem solving skills that I can apply to the position of BCMD that will improve the battalion in several different ways. Since joining the 501st I've already provided these skills to the battalion with solving issues, providing a unique point of view, and improving parts of the battalion like with our Torrent Company revamp that has extremely improved the consistently failing subunit drastically. I don't have any ground breaking plans to suddenly make the 501st the most active battalion on the server and get 30+ active players a day but my main focus if given the position would be structure and roleplay. I've always taken a RP>Ruleplay standpoint and believe that if I was in the position of BCMD I would be able to provide roleplay with the rank and character and hopefully inspire others to do the same. Below I will list some of my main goals/plans whether they are major or minor but overall I want to look through every nook and cranny of the 501st's structure and make sure everything is running properly and potentially improving some systems by making changes to them. These are in no way placed in any order but rather listed as things I'd like to lookover and for transparency sake I will put it here for the community to read over and maybe give different points of views or what not. All of these changes will of course be communicated with my Officer Corps and the entire battalion so that everyone is on the same page. 501st Officer Corps Nothing major in this one but a full reevaluation of the Officer Corps, both people and positions, is always healthy. Making sure everyone is doing what is expected of them in their positions is necessary to battle stagnation and insubordination in the battalion. With the structure of the Officer Corps there are some minor ideas I am playing around with at the moment. WO is one of them but I will make that a point by itself because it's pretty controversial. One thing I'm really looking at is what is the difference in each rank and how do Officers get promoted. (Ew no officer merits and sign ins lol) However in my time in the battalion promotions in the Officer Corps have been honestly pretty random, myself included. I'd like to work on the kinks in the Officer Corps and have a more set way of progressing in it. I also want each rank to have actual meaning rather than it really just being split up as Junior Officer and Senior Officer which also doesn't have any difference as well. The Warrant Officer position Now here is the weird one. WO in the 501st at least has been one giant flip flop. At one point it was a set lore character, at another it had CMD authority, and at another it was just the NCO babysitter. In it's current state it is just the NCO babysitter/stepping stone to Officer. There aren't a lot of crazy new ideas in my brain right now for this position other than holding the WO more accountable to the point where it isn't a super easy way to get to 2ndLT+ after their term. The position of WO is up in the air for me. I keep thinking to myself is it truly needed or is there other ways to better evaluate future officers for the battalion. However a bigger problem for me is SNCOs... Senior NCOs and their purpose Senior Non Commissioned Officers are ranks 1SG, SGM, and CSM. As of right now to climb through SNCO ranks all you genuinely need to do is complete your merits and meet your TIG. I personally don't like seeing people grind merits and shoot up to CSM super quick essentially just to sit there and do nothing but either wait and go through WO or get lucky and bypass WO to 2ndLT. What I'm saying is I want a more clear purpose for SNCOs. They should be like officers in training to me and act like the big brothers of the NCO corps hence why I want to slow down progression through the SNCO ranks and give them more of a purpose, like shadowing officers in officer related matters like discipline, or creating a team system and assigning a number of NCOs to one SNCO and giving them tasks when in that position. I have a ton of different ideas that I want to talk over with my officers and hopefully implement for a better system. Subunits This was actually my main focus when I first joined the battalion. The subunits were in horrible states and both had essentially no limit and were killing each other and the main battalion. I spent a lot of my time reworking the tryouts and stature of the 332nd with Black and Orion and with the help of Rizzo and Shockpoint I implemented my Torrent Company revamp idea which in my opinion is much better than it's old state. My main focus during my term for subunits is for them to continue to stay consistent. TC is in a really good state at the moment in terms of in game and people in the positions however I've noticed a few issues when it comes to inducting new people into the subunit that I would like to go over and make sure it is a much more proficient way to fill TC. Regiments Right now regiments in the 501st are fine. I just want to make sure that the REGL position has a clear purpose and that it is being utilized properly. I then want to, with the REGL, go through and make sure every regiment has all their stuff updated and that everything is setup in a way that is efficient and not poorly made. An example if you'd like is as SUPL I do not have a tryout for SUP. Their tryout was receiving their trainings ie. ATC, ENG, and PLT. In my eyes there is no need to create more documents that essentially cover what is already covered in other documents. I hate documents btw. Most of the time people want to join SUP and don't have their trainings myself or my SUPO can train them in what they need and boom there's a tryout. TL;DR I want every regiment to be as proficient as possible and not have unnecessarily long tryouts or documents covering useless things. Documentation This is actually my big one. I want to make sure that I have all important documents for the battalion in one area for easy access and I also want to evaluate some documents. Things like having a separate roster for regiments when it's already on our main roster is what I am referring to. Essentially I want to cut down on excess documents and make sure we have every document we truly need and make sure they are all up to date and easy to access for those that need to access them. A lot of channels in our discord have several documents pinned to the same channel and most of them are outdated. Promoting Roleplay and Activity I work full time and try to put in as many hours as I can in my timezone. Rex is a huge character in Star Wars and I know I can provide great roleplay with the character and hopefully promote the rest of my battalion to roleplay themselves. As an honorary SA I will be more than glad to setup constant entertainments for the battalion to keep up activity. My main focus will always be roleplay and I want to promote that in anyway that I can. Implementing and Suggesting New Ideas for the 501st Obviously over time new ideas will pop up, whether they are from me or from people in my battalion. I want to spend my entire term essentially brain storming new ways to do things and new ways to reward players in the 501st. I'm always open for suggestions from others and I'm always down to discuss any of these suggestions. These can be suggestions that I can probably implement myself or potentially suggestions that would require a server suggestion that hey, maybe I won't be around for it when it eventually gets added but I know the future generation of the battalion will find uses for it and appreciate it so that's all that matters. TL;DR I'm gonna spend a lot of time looking at every little thing in the battalion in order to make sure it is setup the best it can be. I have a ton of stuff to look and work on that I definitely didn't cover above. A huge deal to me is making sure to properly communicate any and every little change I do to the proper people being Officers, NCOs, REGOs, or the entire battalion. Communication and transparency like I've already mentioned is extremely important to me and I plan to be as transparent as possible. Do you understand the lore of your Battalion or Squad?: Yes I do. Availability: I work full time mostly 7am - 4pm CST so I normally play a few hours after work most days. Estimate of how long you have played on Synergy: I joined on August 12th, 2018 and have played for 7709:22:08 Do you have a microphone?: Yes I do. Where do you want your Battalion or Squad at the end of your term?: By the end of my term I want to have completed all my goals for the battalion. Honestly I have a lot I want to do and I really feel like I'm failing to communicate that in this application but I intend on completing every task I've setout to do. Obviously I want to have promoted roleplay and activity throughout my term and hopefully I was able to inspire others to truly actively roleplay rather than sit and wait for events. Hopefully I manage to setup systems that will continue even after I'm gone to promote transparency in the battalion. I also want to have found a successor if I am not going for another term which I never make promises this early so don't ask. Not gonna lie I wrote this all up extremely quick and my brain is melting on this question but I want to have made an impact on the battalion, both on the people and on the structure of the battalion which has been my main talking point. There is a lot I am setting out to do that may take me the entire term or may even take me hardly half the term however I want to do these things and improve the battalion in anyway I truly can. Most people would answer this with the "I want my battalion to be active and good" but genuinely there are tons of ways that can get out of my control so I want to focus on making the battalion fun for the people that stick around so that hopefully their time comes and I can pass the torch. Do you understand if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?: I do. Do you understand that your position has a three month term limit and that you must reapply after three months to maintain your Commander rank?: I do. [DISCLAIMER] My activity has lowered this last week and a half due to irl/work and I just came off LOA a few days ago so my hours are not the best if anyone goes snooping. I'm trying to get back into the groove of things and I will also be going on another LOA next weekend for a family trip.
