Experience:

Outside the Order:

101^st Captain- I was only a 101^st for a couple of months, under BCMD Forge. During this time, the expectations of me, was to help new players transition into Battalions on the server.  I learned how to deal with a lot of different players during this time.  Though a Captain role might not seem like much work, in the 101^st it was a lot of effort.  I learned to give people benefit of the doubt, and how to work with people that are Mingy.  I helped a lot of people while in this position, to get into the battalions they were interested in.  Also teach the basics of being a clone, and start the foundation of a new player to succeed on this server.

187^th Commander-  My first battalion I ever joined (while on Icefuse then transitioned over to Synergy).  I worked from the bottom, on up in this battalion.  Here I learned how to host a tryout, lead people in events, and how to manage a Battalion.  During my time in 187^th, I had a lot of different roles.  Starting from Sharpshooter Lead, then to Jet Trooper Lead, last Heavy Lead.  I was also part of first ARC trained for this battalion.  ARC was responsible for Scout Troopers, and selection of new ARC.  These positions, included creating tryouts, managing docs, hosting tryouts, and giving orders to the people under my command.  I have led the 187^th in events, in this position, and over saw lower ranking officers lead the Battalion in events.  Created Sims for the battalion, and ran sims for training and evaluations.

91^st CPL- Before the mass exodus to Synergy, there was a time on Icefuse were there was two servers.  During this time, you could have a clone on both servers, in different Battalions.  On the planet side, I joined the 91^st.  As I was already a XO on the Venator in 187^th, so I could not become an officer in 91^st.  I was offered a high NCO position, but turned it down, as not to affect the balance in 91^st at the time.  My time here was spent as a grunt in events.  But while in the teamspeak, I like to think I help mentor some of the officers.  I gave my opinions on some matters, but had no real decision-making role.  I enjoyed my time working with Thexan, and his XOs at the time.  They taught me some things, that I could try in the 187^th, and I gave them ideas for improvements in the 91^st.  But overall, my time in the 91^st was cut short due to issues within the Community, and the creation of Synergy Roleplay.

Vet Admin- As a Vet Admin, I get to give back to the community, that was given me over 1000 hours of entertainment.  This experience taught me how to help others out with issues.  Also, how to deal with people that are toxic to this community.  I have built multiple dupes, and used them for different things.  I have built dupes for a lot of different Jedi Trials, and have been health setter for different occasions on the server.  I have also helped with whitelistings, not only for tickets, but for trials within the order.  I was also able to help spectate on trials which allows the trial to run more smoothly.  The biggest lesson I learned from Vet Admin, was to allow things to be handled in RP first, if available.  Also, to not rush to conclusions.  I have given training to new admins aswell.

TR- Once Synergy became a thing, I knew I wanted to start giving back to the community.  Something that was always on my mind on Icefuse, but never pulled the trigger on.  I also wanted to be apart of the training program from the start, as I had experience as an XO.  As a trainer, it is their duty to train newcomers to the server.  A simple task, that hardly is simple.  I got to train a lot of newcomers that became long lasting members of this community, and also newcomers that didn’t last 10 sec after training was complete.  This gave me even more experience with working with others, and become more efficient at training. Even when they didn’t want to listen.

Within the Order:

Temple Guard Manager-  I became a TGM under Bagel, on Icefuse.  In this position I hosted Sentinel and Temple Guard trials.  Being in this position allowed to provide input on the Temple Guards needs, and provide Information to the Temple Guards.  When the transition to Synergy came, most managers were wiped.  I was shortly after put back to Temple Guard Manager and helped build the Temple Guards to where they are at today.  I almost forgot to mention, as a Temple Guard, my job was to enforce the rules of the Jedi Order and in rare cases Server Rules.  This gave me a large understanding of the current rules and regulations regarding Jedi, and how they are implemented. 

Sentinel Manager-  I received this position, during a transition period on Synergy.  It was after False stepped down, and Bobonator was Gate Keeper.  Bobonator needed some help with running trials, and before this position I was Temple Guard Manager.  Also at this time, there wasn’t any active Shadow Managers.  I was given Sentinel Manager, but allowed to host every trial in the Sentinel Branch.  This position, set me up for Sentinel Lead.  Hosting trials for both sub-branches allowed me to see, that the Sentinels needed a major update to their trials.

Sentinel Lead-  Sentinel Lead is my biggest accomplishment on Synergy by far.  It was an honor to be accepted into the position by the Council.  Like mentioned before, receiving this promotion came with a lot of work ahead of me.  My plans originally started with just cleaning up all the trials, and adding RP that was more fluent.  Also at this time, the Shadow sub-branch was non-existent.  I put the best that the Sentinel branch had to offer, into leadership positions.  We continuously worked together as a team, and made the Sentinel Branch into the most popular branch.  I worked with Padawans within the branch, and paired them with Knights.  Which lead to more Sentinels moving up within the Order.  I modified the Temple Guard rules & regulations to fit on Synergy.  The Sentinel branch had meetings before I was Lead (as per Jedi Rules, all branches must hold a meeting once a week), but there was little to no participation.  I started with encouraging my Managers to come to these meetings, so we could work as a team to fix our Docs, and improve our trials.  After a month, maybe a bit longer, I opened it up to the whole Branch.  So even the newest member can give feedback on our work.  Because of all of these improvements, the Sentinel Branch is more active than ever.  I set out on goal, which led me to try different people in different positions, which led me to create a team, which led to a lot of hours debating/brainstorming/and working on trials, and ended up with one of the BEST Branches on Synergy.

41^st High Jedi General Luminara-  This was my second biggest accomplishment on Synergy.  When I got this position (just general Luminara), I had a lot going on at the time.  Like everything mentioned above (having a long list of changes to Sentinel Branch), I was also Vet Admin.  The 41^st kept me on my toes.  As I had to learn how to juggle life outside the game, bringing life back into the Sentinel Branch, helping the community out as an Vet Admin, and be active with the 41^st.  Working with the 41^st, let me experience working with more people.  At times, I helped with sims, but I enjoyed being around for the daily shenanigans.  Working with Egg taught me a lot.  Egg has a lot of experience running the 41^st battalion, and has an amazing team under him.  His commanders past and present are second to none.  Though they have the spiciest memes on the server, they made the game enjoyable for everyone within the battalion.  Also in this position, I got to promote Knights.  Which taught me to how to keep track of people I never interact with, or rarely interact with.  I also held Saber trainings for Padawans, and sat on the Council.  Sitting on the council, taught me how the Order works.  It also allowed me to voice my opinions on changes brought to the Council.

Why should you become Grand Master?: 

I should become the Grand Master of the Order because I will continue the work, where pervious Yodas have left off.  I will give guidance to branch leads, and streamline Jedi actives.  I will be fair in judgements, and keep the Jedi Order working as a team.  I am able to be impartial, and find common ground during disputes.  I have mained my Jedi, since the transfer over from Icefuse.   I have more then enough experience playing Jedi, and have an understanding how the Jedi order works.  I am currently the Sentinel branch lead, and have learned a lot on what can make or break a branch.  I am willing to help all the branches with the experience I have gained over the past few months.  I will continue moving the Jedi Order in a positive way, that keeps people interested in playing Jedi.  I have given my best to the Sentinel Branch, and its time for others to either continue the work, or evolve it into something even better.  I will continue to keep the lines of communication open to the Order, Naval, and the Clones.  I will do my best, seek advice when needed, and be available the best I can. 

 

Do you understand the lore of the Jedi Order (as relevant to Clone Wars)?: Yes.

 

Availability: Prime time week days and mostly all weekends

If I am at work, I am always available through Discord.

 

Give a brief overview of your achievements on the server:

187^th ARC Commander- XO of the 187^th second highest rank in a battalion.  At the time, the only way to get higher (BCMD), was for Reaper to leave or be removed (No Terms during that time). I was in this position for about 5 to 6 months.

High Jedi General – I am one of two High Generals currently on the server.  Once your voted on for a named Character and pass, you get General.  From there your voted on by the council for Senior, then High General Yoda and Mace agree.  High General is not a rank that is given out to anyone. Nor is there any amount of time that it takes to get it.

Luminara Unduil – Named Character, attached to the 41^st. Voted on by council.  Activity with the battalion affects your ability to play the character.

Vet Admin – Veteran Admin.  Worked my way from New Admin to Vet Admin. 

TR – Trainer Basic entry level for training program.

Temple Guard Manager – First you have to be a Temple Guard, which is difficult within itself.  Then you must be recognized by the Sentinel Branch Lead.  Then voted on by council.  Your held accountable for every arrest (by Temple Guards), and have control over the Temple during defcons under 6.

Sentinel Branch Lead- This is voted on by council.  Lead the Sentinel Branch, and mange the Branch.  Create docs, and trials for the branch.  Generally, have to be in a Manager position before being considered for the position.

 

Do you have a microphone?: Yes

 

Where do you want the Jedi Order to be at the end of your term?: 

            At this point, previous Yodas, the Jedi Order and council has done a lot.  We have created event server trials for Youngling Trials, remade the Knight Trials twice, created Universal Saberstaff Trials, and each branch has a way to have a saberstaff.  The Jedi Order at the end of my term, would be the same Order it is today.  Both Dargon and Llama, have built this Order successfully with input from the council.  There isn’t a lot of gaps that need to be filled.  Council meetings happening every week and branch trials happening within reasonable time frames.  I would only change the amount of interaction with Branch Leads and with their respective branch.  In the Jedi Order, we have no issues with trials at this time, we have all the docs we need, and positions are filled.  My improvements to the Order would focus on helping the individual branches succeed.

 

How do you plan to improve relations within the Jedi Order between branches?:

            I am unsure what this question exactly refers to, as the branches are a part of the Order.  So, my take on this question is how would you improve relations with the individual branches, and the players in the Jedi Order? First, I would like to point out, as a current branch lead, I do have a lot of suggestions.  These suggestions would be brought to the Branch Leads.  I would not micro manage any of the branches, but give them the tools to succeed.  I would make myself available to the Branch Leads, and make their concerns top priority.  If issues did arise, like players complaining how a branch is having issues, then I would start with the Branch Lead.  If there were any major changes, I would recommend these changes go through council, and get the opinions of the Masters in the Order.  So in short, any improvements would be a team effort, so everyone (Branch leads or Council) can have a say in the final outcome.   

 

Do you understand that if you go inactive that you will be removed from your position?: Yes, of course.

 

Do you understand that your position has a two month term limit and you must reapply after two months to maintain your Grand Master rank?: Yes, I understand.

I was a knight 7 on Icefuse, when synergy was created.  Since we went down 5 or 6 ranks I became knight 2 and had to work my way back up.

Yeah thats why i said knight 2.  I was also knight 7, and got put down to knight 2.  Tybo has been adi gallia before synergy was created

Absolute G when it comes to being a jedi, you and Tybo both make excellent candidates.

[Llama/Yoda]

+1 Extremely hard worker. This guy works very well with battalions which is very important, he is a hard worker and does his best to keep the Order strong and happy. He is a High Jedi General which should say a lot about how capable he is as a leader and Master. I would feel very confident with either him or Tybo running my baby. They are both my sons and both really quality masters and I am very proud of both of them ;-;.  - Proud father and the First Synergy Yoda.

Tybo was one of my choices for next Yoda, alongside CMO, so don't take what I'm about to say as if I'm hating on Tybo some how but....

Experience doesn't always mean someone is better and for you to even -1 for this reason boggles my mind. Like for example, I was only a Master for about 2 weeks before I got Mace Windu. There were way more experienced members on the Council at the time, but I believe I still did good as Mace. Both of these guys are excellent choices.

 

+1 I've watched you grow from Knight all the way to High Jedi General, promoted you myself actually. I 100% believe you can keep the Order stable and do a wonderful job as Grand Master of the Order Yoda.

+1 Cmo, you're honestly a god.

I appreciate what you've given me, and I appreciate what you do in the Order, and it's so hard to pick either Tybo or you, so I'll just do both.

 

[JBFox]

+1 Both candidates are qualified. Good luck man.

[Metro]

+1 I served under this man as TGM and it was one of the best experiences I have on the server. I have faith he would be a great Yoda.

[Guest]

+1 good goy in 187th, from what I saw he's a good goy as Jedi, too.

[Washington]

First thing first, Applications are to be judged on the individual who is applying, not judging them to others.

And that is an amazing reason to -1 someone.

Also your opinion should be "what is better for the order/server" 

don't be selfish

I've read this like 20 times now and I still have 0 clue wtf you're talking about

My -1 still stands, Tybo would be a better Yoda in my honest opinion. I'm not sure why you're quoting like 4 people talking to them like this is your app, I'm only responding because you quoted me

[Pyle]

-1 Sorry for comparing to others, but Tybo has been a Master for a long time and seems like a better fit IMO. Not saying you are not fit for the position there is just a better candidate.

It's pretty fucking simple. If you think Tybo would be a good Yoda, +1 him. If you think CMO would still be a okay Yoda than neutral him, and if you think CMO would be a bad Yoda, -1 than. Bobonater is saying you shouldn't -1 because you think another applicant is better. Judge him on how you think he would do as Yoda.

@Punda 

if you still don't understand the concept of +1ing and -1ing peoples applications "God Bless You"

I'm going to post this for anyone who does not know what to do.

______________________________________________________________________________________

+1 if you believe that the individual who is applying will do a good job in the position that they are applying for.

______________________________________________________________________________________

-1 if you believe that the individual who is applying will do a bad job in the position that they are applying for.

P.S. Give a good reason why.

 Good reasons- Mingy, disrespectful, not mature, inactive, not a good reason because...

Bad reasons- someone else is better, just because, i don't like him/her, personal reasons.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Neutral if you don't know, they have good and bad aspects to them, you want someone else to get it.

BUT it would be better not to comment at all.

 

If you still don't understand DO NOT comment on peoples applications.

Thank you... actually Your Welcome lol

To be honest, you have to have a high IQ to understand the +1/-1 system here on Synergy. Not everyone can get it down without a detailed post such as this one above.

+1 Good boy, gonna miss you as luminara

[Trig]

+1 You seemed like a good luminara CMO, defiantly think that you would do good as Yoda. Dont let these -1's get you down. Nobody should be -1'd for there "being a better choice" I think its going to be a close call for you and tybo though, good luck to you both!

[Flynn]

+1 my nibba

[Mike]

-1 I think tybo should get it and don't quote me 10 times going on about how I shouldn't -1 or some bull crap I'm not changing this I honestly tybo has more experience and deserves this more

[Oxen]

I got to go with my heart. Do you have a good YODA voice, cause the ears has to have the voice!

+1 I believe CMO can do the job.

[Forseen]
