Mater Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Steam Name: PFC Mater RP Name: Commander Barlex RP Rank: Commander Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:558422132 Battalion or squad you are applying for: 212th Commander Cody Experience: 212th PVT – CMD I've spent a decent amount of time in each rank bracket in 212th to understand how everything works. I tried my best to do everything I could to help this battalion. I’m not going to lie, hitting 2ndLT was the roughest transition for me, but with the guidance that the SO corps outlined for me, I became a great officer. Once I got SO I did everything in my power to help the JOs in the way that my SO corps helped me, and I saw nothing but improvements in the JO corps. Now as a Commander in 212th I have put my focus on every part of this battalion, making sure that no one goes without help, and that anyone in 212th can come to me. 2ndAC Trooper – 2ndACC Barlex I got recruited into the 212th by a 2ndAC trooper and I set my goal to bestow that glorious jetpack and horribly pixelated helmet. 2ndAC was in a rough spot and the moment I got 2ndACS I did everything I could to recruit new players into this badass subunit, and it did not go unnoticed. I then tried for Parjai and after finally succeeding I set to work with its leadership team to try to re-work how 2ndAC operates. Once getting Bear, I worked closely with my Barlex to fill up Parjai, and after succeeding I was in the lead of one of the first full Parjai Squad known to the server in a long time. Once I achieved Barlex, I worked hard with my Bear to fix and set up the 2ndAC we have now. With our hard work not only did we fill a new Parjai, but we filled the entire subunit full of great people who love the subunit just as much as I did when I first joined. Why should you become a Battalion Commander?: 212th is the only reason I stayed on this server for more than a week. I have grown to fall in love with the community 212th has surrounding it and I thrive to make sure it stays that way. I have stuck with the battalion through its recent ups and downs and through those periods I understand what this battalion needs to keep it strong. I have done everything with the power 212th has trusted me with to benefit and help during rougher times and I will never put my focus anywhere else but the well being of 212th. I have shown through my positions like officer, 2ndACC and even Commander that I have the drive, knowledge, leadership skills and work ethic to lead this a battalion. This battalion has moulded me to be the leader I am now and its those skills that shows that I am ready for BCMD. My activity on the server and in 212th is something that I'm proud of and I know that as Cody I can support the battalion with an active BCMD who will be there to interact with everyone and just focus on what matters to them: The well being of 212th. I know that I have the support of the battalion and that signifies that 212th trusts me with carrying the current implementations and goals and to run not only the battalion but its pure hearted community. Do you understand the lore of your battalion or squad?: The 212th Attack Battalion was led by Marshal Commander CC-2224 “Cody” and Jedi General Obi Wan Kenobi. 212th was parent to Ghost Company being Cody’s most trusted clones, 2nd Airborne Company and its affiliated Parjai Squad being clone paratroopers, Foxtrot Group being an elite squad of Clone Commandos, and Red Squadron being the Republic's most talented pilots. Other notable troopers consist of: Waxer, Boil, Oddball, Gregor, and Barlex. Some notable battles: Battle of Ryloth, Teth, 2nd battle of Geonosis, Umbara, and finally Utapau where Order 66 was executed. Availability: 3:30 PM EST – 12:00 AM EST I am almost always available in Discord Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?: | Commander Barlex has played for 1635:202. Do you have a microphone?: Yes Where do you want your battalion or squad to be at the end of your term?: The 212th is in a good spot at this moment but nothing is perfect, and I want to leave this battalion in an even better spot than it is today. Stability The 212th will always be the well maintained engine that could go miles with no oil left. Through the worst position I’ve ever seen it in we still had systems in place that would result in the battalion bouncing back into good condition, But the issues that caused the slight downfall was motivation members had to do the work required to keep the battalion running. 212th has now entered a spot where it needs motivation from HC and its officer corps to engage people to hop onto their clone. I want to continue my efforts to make the current and future members strive for the well being of the battalion just as much as they strive for their own growth in the 212th. Roleplay The 212th prides itself on using its numbers to create fun roleplay, and that’s something that we need to focus on. The purpose of this server isn’t to just sit around and shoot droids when they appear but to really engage and create fun roleplay as we play along. 212th’s ARC team and HC have been dabbling around with ideas to engage newer and even older players to engage and to personalize their roleplay when in 212th such as squad systems, mission boards and a general push to roleplay with everyone on the server and I plan on pushing hard to see these systems through. All I see when I get on the server is 212th members growing their roleplay skills and I hope to inspire them to hook newer players into enjoying and participating. Community I believe that one of the main reasons 212th manages to stay strong is because it has an amazing community surrounding it, we're not just in this battalion together but we are all friends that genuinely care and like being with each other. I want to engage the 212th community to stay close to each other. Having fun game nights outside of Garry’s Mod, fun competitions and staying up all night joking is something that 212th has always done but I see it diminishing now. I don’t only care about face of the battalion on the outside, but I want to revitalize that drive to get on and have fun in the 212th community so that new players can really jump on and not just hang out with the battalion but hang out with their friends. Officers Corps The officer corps is strong but few in numbers. When someone climbs to the rank of officer, they tend to struggle a bit, and I see few cases where a new officer struggles to stand out, and I believe its since you can run through SGT-CSM in 212th and still not gain any new responsibilities. I’m looking into making that distinction between JNCO and SNCO where people can visualize their growth and can prepare themselves for officer responsibilities and having to prove themselves ready for that promotion rather than counting merits. Through the previous Cody's terms, we've changed WO to be a trial officer rank to get a feel for new officer responsibilities and to prove yourself ready to move up in the officer corps. With these changes, it left the entire JO corps with carrying the responsibilities of WO together. I want to revisit the changes this makes to the JO corps and set in stone the mindset on how to utilize their role as an officer to NCO Corps As Right now the 212ths NCO corps is running beautifully, we have active NCOs who don’t only do their part to help the battalion but go out of their way to welcome new players and to just have fun. But as stated above, There are barely any distinctions between SGT-CSM besides merit values changing. I want to make that distinction between JNCO and SNCO so that SNCO start to feel a sense of leadership and to help out their newer colleagues on being successful NCOs, to give them an outlook on some attributes we look for in an officer, and to finally give them something new to look forward to in the NCO ranks instead of just grinding through 7 ranks before you get different responsibilities. Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?: Yes Do you understand that your position has a three month term limit and you must reapply after three months to maintain your commander rank?: Yes Edited January 23, 2022 by Mater 1 Report Former: Parjai MEDO Captain Four | Parjai MEDO Major Bear | 2ndACC Commander Barlex | Commander Cody Link to comment

Comics Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 I see you as someone who has creativity in their mind, and that is a far reaching skill. You've got ideas that you can see yourself as capable of implementing and creating a greater 212th. I just hope you are capable enough as a leader to make hard decisions and do what you know is best, sometimes Codys get too bogged down in what their battalion wants and not what it needs. Personally, I can see you actually building upon 212th and push forward through some of these fundamental issues 212th faces especially in departments of separation of ranks and progression. +1, you seem a clear strong candidate, I just hope you have the leadership skills to be a strong willed when it's needed. Cause sometimes it's just what 212th needs, Cody to stamp on the gridlock and force something through. This experience might be outdated but from the Codys I've seen, and my own time, it seems to be the case. 1 1 Report The most fuckable person on Synergy Star Wars RP~ Link to comment

I will wait for your reply to vote. I currently have no plans to change discord structure. 212th uses the two discords to organize itself better and current 212th members seem to like having them separated (When Bacta first got Cody, he put a vote to merge discords and result heavily fell on keeping two). I believe that if we were to merge the discords, with our current subunit and regiment structures, it would be way too many channels, roles, and hell to organize. I understand that it may come across silly to people outside of 212th, but believe it or not it works quite well. After speaking to the 41st Intel Director who was a long time 212th member, she stated that only having one discord is extremely hard to organize to a level that our two discord are. They miss the opportunity for regiments and subunits to have leadership channels, logging channels and in a whole makes it harder on their Regimental Officers to do their job. 8 2 Report Former: Parjai MEDO Captain Four | Parjai MEDO Major Bear | 2ndACC Commander Barlex | Commander Cody Link to comment
