Why should you become a Regimental Commander -

I have been back in the community for a while now and I have so far enjoyed my experience and engaging with the community once again. I am certain that I am ready to take the next step in the ladder and provide a level-headed and professional response in the position.

To begin with I am active and able to operate my duties as a regimental for the next three months with minimal interruption. This enables me to be continuously available to maintain an approachable presence for both battalions. Where I am able to sit down to discuss issues and overall keep updated on changes in each battalion and provide insight when requested or needed. Finally being a voice for each battalion in High Command meetings or when bringing suggestions and ensuring that situations are being brought forward in the benefit of the battalions and community.

Professionalism is a value that I will uphold and maintain in the position and when outside of it, while maintaining a fun response where I am able to relax and be level with everyone, which once again makes me approachable. For me I will be able to operate as a role-model in the community and maintain a quality and positive outlook when operating as a member of the community, inside and out.

Engagement is also something that I strive to maintain, I wish to be continuously working along-side the battalions and the respective factions to create both events and options to create a fun environment that encourages the community to be engaged with the server. This could be speaking to the Gamemaster team to plan a special event for specialized where both departments are active and enjoying it. An example being Squad based events for each squad in SOBDE along-side having Alpha based events / ARC based events.  Or speaking with the Jedi and asking about their dealings with each battalion and operating as a battalion jedi in the respective battalions.

Finally, I wish to maintain a presence which has limited if no interference for the battalions in specialized. I have faith and trust in both command teams in each battalion to maintain a professional and fun presence. As a Battalion Commander should be able to run their battalion, in-line with the rules, in their own respective way. It keeps it dynamic and different and I believe that is an integral value to have in a battalion, as it makes every new experience different.

On an overall basis, I am and will continue to be an approachable presence where any member of any battalion is able to contact me, so we can sit down and talk about any issues or concerns that need to be sorted. Furthermore, I will maintain the standards as a High Command member, providing my insight and bluntness on situations for the benefit of the community.

Do you understand the lore of your regiment - Yes and I am open to be quizzed about each battalion and the squads associated inside.

Availability -

Weekdays - Afternoons, Evenings and Nights
Weekends - All day 

Please bear in mind that I do operate via UK Time.

Give a brief overview of your achievements on the server -

For me the highlight achievements are the following…

Head Admin - I obtained Head Admin rather quickly throughout my time in the staff team, purely based on the fact that I have a clean and committed work ethic when it comes to situations and conducting work. It helped me understand how to approach situations with an open mind and prioritize my workload to ensure that the important bulk was being dealt with in a high quality manner.

Rancor Command - When I became Commander Havoc, it felt nice. I was motivated and felt as if my Command was approachable and gave me a basis on how a command should operate on the daily. It taught me that you can have fun on the server even when it comes to the gritty work of handing out punishments and taking situations seriously. It helped me balance the fun with the serious into a comfortable mindset where coming onto the server is fun and not energy consuming.

Coruscant Guard - While my time as Fox was short and possibly one of my biggest regrets where I allowed my mental issues to cloud my judgment and overall left the battalion in water. It helped me develop on my mistakes and genuinely helped me talk about things afterwards. Yet I will also be appreciative to both Centurion and Bro who helped me develop my leadership abilities and overall made me feel settled in the community. This is something that I wish to represent as a community member overall.

Do you have a microphone - Yes

Where do you want your regiment to be at the end of your term -

SOBDE - By the end of my term I wish for this battalion to maintain its stability and overall activity which is most likely due to its popularity. However, I am looking to see a developed response in quality control, especially when it comes towards roleplay which is of the ambition of myself and the current Gregor, Lyonaxis and his current command when referenced to the new Gray Republic Commandos. Furthermore, to have established a stronger communication line between SOBDE and Rancor, as well as High Command to keep everyone apprised of updates and information that is vital in battalion operations. For me personally, I wish to have developed a positive outlook for the battalion and the community. The most important at the end of my time is ensuring that SOBDE are capable of having freedom of roleplay, as this for them is a quality need and I agree that if they are able to have that freedom, when it comes to events designed specifically for them and overall roleplay around the base is where they will flourish!

Rancor - By the end of my term I wish for this battalion to have vastly improved its overall activity and commitment to the ARC program. Ensuring that the community is receiving scheduled training and hopefully working hand in hand with Claw to create a potential schedule for the European side of the community. Once again, development on communication between Rancor and SOBDE, along-side High Command to keep all parties up to date on situations and overall maintain a smooth sailing ship. And on a personal note, to have developed my relationship with the battalion where they are confident in contacting their regimental for assistance or input on situations and overall reliance in High Command.

On an overall basis my primary concern is communication and quality control and ensuring that it is promoted in each battalion. I do not seek to interfere with the goings on in each battalion unless asked or it becomes extremely necessary as I have faith in the Command of each battalion. But a significant improvement on relationships between the battalions and High Command.

How do you plan to improve relations within your regiment -

SOBDE - In relation to SOBDE, I believe their outreach program is a huge benefit when it comes to relations between themselves and the community. For me it is the insurance that this program runs smoothly as in my personal experience, I find an outreach brilliant when discussing development in-game, from simply tactics or leadership and furthermore a point of contact with any issues or queries about SOBDE. So, when it comes to an improvement of relations between Rancor and SOBDE the outreach program provides a gateway on this specific topic.

However, as I’ve stated previously in my application I seek to engage with both battalions command and the Gamemaster team in the development of events that will look at engaging both battalions when operating together to strengthen that bond. And potentially place a bi-weekly meeting in place between both members of their respective command to discuss issues on a community basis but with each other as well. 

And to extend on the “bi-weekly idea” this will be used to voice all concerns and complaints, when it comes to deployments and other matters so they are being handled swiftly and with care with the community and the battalions themselves in mind.

Rancor - In relation to Rancor, it has an identical solution in communicating with the respective commands and discussing any issues that they have. Furthermore, speaking to the Gamemaster team and Rancor Command to develop event ideas that benefit both battalions, so they are having fun together which again will strengthen the bond.

With encouragement, patience and dedication I aim to develop the bond between both battalions, where they are free to reach out to me, but ideally to the respective commands about issues about each other where they are confident that they are dealt with correctly and rapidly.
The overall being that at the current moment the relations between the battalions are well maintained at the moment as there is respect present between both parties and I wish to maintain that. As of the minute the relations between the both are solid and I would prefer not to interfere with that, just improve it and I believe that both sides are capable of engaging with each other and I would act a mediator on the tense situations.

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 regimental commander rank - Yes

Making a conscious effort to reach out to gamemasters to keep things fun is cool, but anyone can do that.

It is a good app, it looks nice, and I'm sure your intentions are well; but you glanced over just about anything involving a plan.

90% of this app is speaking on your passion, engagement and how approachable you are; but I have no reason to want to do any of those things as I have no idea what you have in mind between "strengthening bonds."

This is not a plan, this is an aspiration, how do you aim to improve activity and commitment to the ARC program?

As far as I know, most of your app serves to "improve communication", as if acting as a bridge between two battalions when in reality they are often the two closest battallions and have very little to communicate about unless they should be deployed together.

This app just misses the mark for me, I hope for a semi-detailed response.

Look. I hate to sound this jaded. But every single application I've seen in the past 6 months has said something along the lines of "I'm gonna communicate with the GM team!" as some sort of filler, whether or not they ever plan to say a word to the GM team's leadership or even any GM outside of their normal communication. As a member of SOBDE and as a member of the GM team, is there any more elaboration you can do on what kind of events you'd be talking about/how you'd approach talking to the GM team? I am only asking this because I know you used to be a really good GMO at the beginning of my GMD term and I know you know how the system works. But I'd like to pick your brain about the above question.

[Void]

Hi @Sriracha I appreciate the response!

When it comes to plans, I'll provide a detailed explanation in how I seek to achieve in relation to the battalions.

When it comes to communicating with Gamemaster Department while any soul is able to do so. For me it is about continuously being in contact with the team and ensuring that the wire is live throughout my entire term. Where throughout events and deployments I will look at the AR and collect the opinions that were had of the event, especially a deployment and bringing forward potential ideas for where it could be fixed.

Gamemaster Approach

Furthermore, on those plans and I believe I will explain them better here. When it comes to SOBDE in specific I will be in constant communication between the Gamemaster Team and SOBDE Command about both ideas and complaints with recent events. I personally believe that there should be more events focused on specific battalions, but to move further into the rabbit hole of Squad specific deployments potentially so it gives the opportunity for the battalion and specific members to adventure into the life of that clone. Of course, this would not be on a regular basis depending on how discussions go, however I am ambitious on pushing this forward. Ideally, by negotiating a trial stage and hopefully this idea expands into other regiments as well. I personally believe the AR is not utilise and I seek to change that throughout my term when focusing on the regiment at hand.

For me if I am successful in doing so, it should hopefully develop on the bonds listed above. As the priority is to be consistent with regular meetings with both Rancor Command and SOBDE Command along-side the Gamemaster Team. By voicing the opinions and issues directly to the team in a clear and constructive way, where it will not just benefit the battalions at hand, but also the Gamemaster Team. The reality being if an event is good it raises morale and especially if it consists of both battalions having fun on a regimental deployment it promotes a good attitude between both parties. 

And when it comes to specific ideas for events at mind, an simple example being a squad based deployment for the location of Sev on Kashyyk. Or a deployment based on the Imperial Era where the "Imperial Commandos" come into the equation as its something new that would create excitement and the potential of future ideas. The same would apply to Rancor, where the "Battle of Coruscant" with Fordo which could be a great deployment in which the entirety of Rancor could partake. Its about bringing the screen into the game and having the community partake in events that are focused around the series, its a step in the correct direction in a more roleplay intensive environment.

When approaching the Gamemaster Team I will contact a Gamemaster Officer to arrange a time to speak on a detailed level, providing both documentation and opinions on ideas and issues that the battalions have had. I will provide my own insight and suggestions in remedies and work with, not against the Gamemaster Team. As, the Gamemaster would know the limitations of an event so being in a vocal setting where we can discuss and look at remedies is essential. And when discussing "in-depth" an example being a "Omega Squad" or an "Alpha" deployment, I would ask throughout the meeting for Gamemasters and Helpers, that are familiar and able to perform the lore. To push for "accurate, well developed and fun" events. 

@Mavelle Does this also answer your question?

Rancor Plans

When it comes to activity, I could simply say encourage more tryouts or a simple training system for getting your ARC status yet I will not. While, I wish to promote a hands off approach with limited interference as I trust in the abilities that Claw, the current Blitz, possesses I will be in constant contact with him from day one. When it comes down to the ARC Program itself I will be discussing with Claw potentially a new system to be put in place when it comes to the claiming a specific training for the scheduled days, with also the proposal of an EU dedicated time for those that are unable to attend throughout the later hours. It covers the community entirely and promotes a fair and accessible system.

When it comes to activity, it becomes a tricky topic because the control of members joining can be limiting. However, I aim to by the end of the first week have circulated throughout the community discussing issues that people have had with the battalion in question, this being SOBDE and Rancor of course, once done I will collect the information and meet with Claw to discuss an action plan which he is both comfortable and committed in doing. Furthermore, providing input on potential new officers to elevate in his battalion without pressurising and being both truthful and blunt on the issues that are affecting the battalion. Finally to extend my reach, to discuss with Claw the development of ARC Programs in all the battalions to create those chains where Rancor and battalion ARCs in specific, where all ARCs are connected.

Finally, when it comes to relations between SOBDE and Rancor while I have mentioned the outreach program, it has been brought to my attention that is not the concern or method of approach. For me now, the Bi-Weekly meeting will be used for complaints, suggestions and queries which both Rancor and SOBDE Command will be able to take to me directly and I will voice that opinion to the rest of High Command. However, I will be looking at creating scenarios that encourage both Rancor and SOBDE to work together, for example through deployments. Yet to be perfectly honest it does not seem necessary at the moment as both battalions seem to be in the good of grace with each other.

Bonds

As you mentioned, with the "strengthen of bonds" my ideal focus is that both battalions mindset when coming onto the server, it being a game and not some form of political fight or a simple chore. I will be trying to contain the "political" side as you will so that both battalions are not subjected to it, I simply want you all to enjoy coming on the server without the need of needless drama and a liaison report pending on your shoulders. As discussed with Lyonaxis its about the "Freedom of RP" and I am devoted in delivering that outcome. Once again, communication seems like a throwaway term yet I do mean it dearly as that is my focus. Through communication the rocks smooth out. And besides "Freedom of RP" I look at providing a platform for each community member, especially in the battalions in specialised to be given the option of approaching me, telling me what is wrong, then fixing it. Which sounds simple and it clearly won't be. Being in constant contact with High Command and Rancor | SOBDE Command will keep the chain live as mentioned earlier. I see the possibility for SOBDE to develop into a very RP intensive and well portrayed battalion as it is already headed that way and for me to push it further is to provide the opportunities listed above. I feel like negligence has been the luck of the draw and I seek to amend that, by being vocal and straight to the point. Being in constant contact and open to criticism where I have made a mistake, but finally being that spearhead that will go through doors to make things happen.

Bonds can not be artificial and forced, they have to be formed naturally. When you create a positive environment through a well thought and executed event, morale as stated previously is high, everybody is in a good mood so people are more likely to be social and engaged, which in-turn creates friendships inside and outside the battalion. This is what I want for Rancor and SOBDE. Quality control is essential, this is why with every decision it will not be mine by myself, I will speak to Lyonaxis and Claw and beyond that the battalions as a whole. "A team that trusts, is a team that triumphs". 

But I completely agree with you @Sriracha on this...

Would you not say that SOBDE has a fair amount of freedom in their roleplay to begin with? If so, what will you be doing to safeguard it while not overstepping your position? If not, can you outline why you think they are lacking in freedom of roleplay as well as what you have in mind to improve it?

Edited February 28, 2022 by Willyworm1

[Void]

Hi @Willyworm1and I appreciate the response!

When I mention "Freedom" it also includes the potentiality of what can be done, therefore granting more freedom. By this, as mentioned above its about ensuring that deployments and events that orientate around them having the ideal Gamemaster and those that help have the ideal knowledge of the lore that concerns them. It creates new avenues for SOBDE in particular to explore as there are people in place that are both familiar and able to perform at the standards of roleplay that SOBDE desire. For me that is the barrier that is preventing SOBDE from freely roleplaying and as discussed previously, that is how I aim to break it.

When it comes to safeguarding, it about maintaining a consistent behaviour by continuously going through AR reports and gathering feedback, directly speaking to both Rancor and SOBDE Command about what they want from events and deployments and if they have encountered any issues with recent ones. Maintaining a live wire to the Gamemaster Team and scheduling regular meetings with a Gamemaster Officer or above to discuss these concerns and ways that it could be developed and improved directly. Its about quality management, communicating and working-alongside both Commands to ensure that the regiment is receiving a good experience and the Gamemaster Team are as well.

I hope this answers your question!

I think in relation to SOBDE you're utmost job would be advocacy and support which you have outlined here pretty well. Lyonaxis and the squad leads are all very competent and can keep us strong for the future but your #1 priority should be handling the transitional layer between us and High Command / other battalion leadership which is the only area that we ever have issues with. 

I also like you're guiding approach rather than an oversight based one as we have had Spec Regs come in and try to "work with us" before and it never works for one reason or another. 

 

As for the GM side, please also understand that not all GMs will be receptive to your ideas, and may not be able to work with them as easily. Often times from a GM perspective it's a mix between "what do I want to do" vs "what do players want" 
This difference is why I often host events for alot of different battalions instead of cycling the same few as it allowed the love to be spread around but it limits me in that I don't have alot of time to do a CF-99 specific deployment or an Alpha ARC deployment. 

 

Good Luck, SOBDE will be happy to work with you
