Mystic's Bacara App V2 (Waived)

[Mystic]

Steam Name:
Mystic

 

RP Name:
Jedi Battle Master Cin Drallig l GM DD SSG Deadeye

 

RP Rank:
Staff Sergeant l Jedi Master

 

Steam ID:
STEAM_0:1:543219273

 

Battalion you are applying for:
Galactic Marines BCMD (Commander Bacara)

 

Experience:
21st (SSG-CMD) (Commander Jet)
This was my first serious run on this server. My work ethic in the 21st was INSANE under Gadget as my Bacara. I learned more here than anywhere else. I learned how to keep a subunit active and functioning, as well as how to advertise subunits to their fullest extent. Using my experience in SO I plan to put the same plays into effect with DD and KU.

Doom’s Unit - (MSG-)

212th (PVT-SGT)
Under Bacta I learned how to welcome new players and how to keep them interested with friendly jokes and a well worded explanation of the battalion and its workings.

Jedi Master (Cin Drallig l TGL l TGM)
Temple Guard has been insanely important to me. Under people like Bro I've been able to look at things way differently, and I have several ways of approaching people in different situations, as well as having learned to incentivize branch work that could be transferred to battalion subunits.

SOBDE (PVT-SSG) (Yayax - Foxtrot)
I joined in the heat of the moment. I know exactly how to pair up DD/KU and SOBDE should there ever be a joint operation with the two battalions. We share similar RP aspects that I'd love to capitalize on and having seen some of the inner workings of the battalion as well as getting along well with their Leadership, I believe that my past experience could make for some deployments that would make GM and SOBDE work well together and increase our interactivity.

501st (PVT-PFC)
I mentioned this as it gave me insight as to why 501st works so well and how I can approach them in the future to work together and how I can make GM’s subunits much more popular.

Galactic Marines x2 1st. (2ndLT - CPT) 2nd. (PVT-SSG) (DD Deadeye)
Current. Not much to say here it kind of ties in with my past experience with GM under Mazen.

As well as a few High Staff and a Commander Position on some other servers that aren’t exactly relevant.

 

Why should you become a Battalion Commander?:
(If you have any questions, ask away below or DM me Discord Mystic#8765)
Starting off, The only few active people remaining in Galactic Marines are people I've worked with in the past 21st. With Bane I worked with him towards the end of 21st to the birth of GM. Cubby has been my SUPL, my Spark, and a reliable Officer and NCO during 21st, and has become a solid Commander under Lyonaxis’s term. Blank was my Blackout during my first few weeks in SO, As well as my Commander and Major after his resignation from Blackout. I get along VERY well with the current battalion leaders and having spoken to them about applying, they encouraged it as I work well with them. Setting aside my companionship with the Officers, as a Senior Admin I have plans to host patrols with other battalions while hoping to also bring back the use of joint communications in Teamspeak to increase battalion interaction. I’d also start by promoting some of the NCOs who’ve been sitting in their ranks for days due to bad time zones as it's beyond demoralizing to be a Sergeant for 60 days because of your timezone or availability. With the new regimental system I'd love to reach out to both the Regimentals and as well as GM’s to attempt to give Galactic Marines more deployments with other battalions. I believe that this, along with encouraging advert bind usage and possibly bringing back NCO of the Week/Month could bring back a couple of well needed members in the battalion. I would love to get the Intel Team working a little harder as well. I'd probably do a slight discord cleanup and replace a couple channels with Google Forms (such as suggestions) to get rid of clutter and make things more accessible and anonymous for members of the battalion. Referencing a line from my last application, I believe , especially with the current state of the server, that it's important to work on maintaining stability and holding onto our current players.

 

Availability:
24/7 on Discord
3pm to about 10pm EST weekdays (Could change with my upcoming job)
All day on weekends

 

Estimate of how long you've played on Synergy Roleplay?:
Slightly under 2000 hours. (by like… 40 hours)

 

Do you have a microphone?:

Yes

 

Where do you want your battalion to be at the end of your term?:
I am aiming to bring the activity in Galactic Marines out of hiding. Having seen the reasons why some people still play, and the reasons others don't, I have some ideas to bring out the activity that's hidden in the NCOs. After speaking with a couple of the NCOs over my time in GM it’s become clear there is NOT much of an Officer presence in the Galactic Marines, I want to change this by bringing up a full Commander crew and an XO to run things after my term is over. I want the battalion to have Officers who are deserving to run the battalion and also ones that the NCOs can feel comfortable sitting in Teamspeak with, as well as bringing issues up to if it arises. There are quite a few deserving people in the Marines and I want to bring them up and give them the drive to put in the work of rebuilding GM. I would love to set up a battalion ambassador system as well, having a certain set of people in charge of joining Discords and organizing Sims, FFAs, or even just chilling in a channel with other battalions to get GM out of the gutter and into the social aspects of battalion interactions. Topping things off, I feel like we don’t advertise our sub-units enough. Devil Dogs is a faucet of untapped potential. I'd love to help Bane build an active Devil Dogs by encouraging boarding RP or even setting up a skill set for each person a little bit like SOBDE had with EOD and TECH (He mentioned doing this before, I think this idea is outstanding) I’d love to also get with Watermelon and work on advertising Keller’s Unit as a small squadron who works well in small groups while also being a deadly flank force with their Westars and attempt to give them abit more purpose on the server, whilst not straying away from their main purpose as cold weather assault specialists. I would also like to finish the Honorary system Lyn added and would love to flesh it out to make its requirements well known.

 

Do you understand that 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 you must reapply after three months to maintain your commander rank?:
Yes.

[GregRocks]

I've gotta ask, just due to how positions on Synergy have been going recently... If you get this position, are you going to stay for at least one full term? People resigning from their positions due to burnout or going to other positions is part of what's killing Synergy. At a time like this, Synergy needs strong and stable BCMDs, I'd say more than we need RCMDs. Unless something truly drastic and unexpected happens, will you stay a full term in this position?

Nobody can promise to stay for a full term, i however plan on it if its within my ability.

I do plan to build a team around me at the very start of my term to ensure stability if life hits me. My absolute first goal is stability. At the bare minimum i plan to execute most of, if not all of everything in my application within my first few weeks or first month of my term. I appreciate your concern as well. I get it.

This feels like fucking full circle...

Back before I resign form the server, I had 4 people in CMD+ positions in the the 21st - Misfit, Mystic, Deathtiger and Xbox (If I remember correctly). 3 of these applied for Bacara after and applied and I was positive they could run the battalion in my stead. I don't like choosing Favourites, but Mystic did have characteristics I do favour. Nonetheless shenanigans occurred and the Whole 21st is not GM things happened, Bacta came in... then left... then the server... yeah... idk... ANYWAY! Since then, the GM has been in a sort of limbo.

I will outwardly say it, Lyonaxis wasn't the best Bacara, not that I blame him, he is busy. Mainly in the activity front/not being in TS too often. This was more from what people told me and what I saw, but this is not the place for that conversation - Also this is not me flaming him, just stating fact about this following.

GM, as a whole, is not in a great place (The whole server isn't but that's not relevant). But one of the most active people I see on the server is Mystic, he is either on his clone or Jedi, bumbling around, interacting in comms, the works. He is someone who listens, but is also someone who leads and has fun when they want to. Unlike me, I can be a real stick in the mud. 

 

I feel he can breath some life into the 21s- FUCK, I mean GM... *sigh* By being an active BCMD, a beacon for player to get on a interact with. BCMDs are often the lynchpin of battalions, they live and die by them, which is why I always strove to be as active as possible. The server could loose all of its RCMDs and nothing would really happen, loosing all of it's BCMDs is a big issue and Mystic is perfect for the role - HELL, he was chosen out of the officer in the 21st at the time to become Bacara. 

 

Anyway, a TL:DR

Mystic is great - He has my vote as the last Bacara of the 21st Nova Corps,

God I miss SO, but don't you fucking bring them back.

+1, it's about time.

[Joshua]

He's done an Excellent job back in the 21st when I ran SO as Blackout and improved what I couldn't do to eventually fill out the Subunit. He is more active than anyone else in the Battalion, including myself. After having applied before and then getting denied due to the restructure, I think it is high time he got his shot at BCMD. While the Server overall is struggling with numbers, I am certain he will bring back a good number of people or atleast give his very best shot given the circumstances overall. 

All in all a solid +1

[Egert]

+1 yes

[Hanz]

+1 Mystic can do it

[Bruise]

+1 Nothing but faith in this man.
