Bring back Rotation Schedule

[Casanova]

Name: Casanova

RP Rank: SGM

Suggestion: As the title suggests

Implementation: Make a google sheets document

 

Description: Back on endor we had a rotation schedule for which each battaltion had an assigned time to be at an outpost and be stationed there.
I think we should add this for Onderon at outpost Thesh becuase it gives each battalion an oppurtunity to both train as a team and give the staff members of each battalion a chance to do fun things for their battaltions.

A 30-60 min for one battalion at a time with different kinds of RP and "mini-encounters" it could be everything from boxrp to a shootemup. 

This would also give server wide events a chance to happen in a cool way, for example thesh is attacked when 21st is stationed there, they radio for backup and the rest of the base can partake. 

For this to work, communication is key. If a GM wants to do an event starting at thesh, talk to the battalion stationed there, tell them their comms are being jammed if the GM doesnt want the base to know yet, or tell them to radio in for backup if they see enemies if they want the base to get there. 

There are all kinds of things you could do with this, with the only thing stopping you being your imagination!

Other: Old schedule for Anaxes. We'd do something similar to this but obviously with Thesh and maybe even some area in sector 2 if we want to extend it

+1 i really like this idea

[NissanMikli]

-1. This would not work with the current map

 

[Zeros]

Anaxes had multiple outposts/way larger of an area. Being stuck at Thesh would just be incredibly boring. -1

[Mystic]

-1. Not shit to do at Thesh, Passive RP quality has dropped over the years and droids shoot through the walls of the outpost. Just wouldn't be fun.

i agree sorry casanova -1

[Venom/TJ]

-1 as nice as this would be it wouldn’t work as stated before me, this really worked the best on Endor map as we had 2 different outposts and people would actually passive Rp with each other too

[Kortnul]

-1 

Not enough people go to Thesh to the point it has to be reserved 

9 times out of 10 there's no one there and nothing going on.

If you want to do something like this than just go to Thesh and ask a staff member to spawn droids.

-1 Bruv this ain't it fam.

-1 You can do this without a suggestion. Just convince a GM to do it.

I do admit the patrol schedules we had back on Endor were amazing. Having set times where a battalion would patrol this sector of the map, man the base walls, or occupy one of the 2 then later 3 outposts pushed the players to create their own fun. At the time we also had the Sith faction who could pose as "civilians" as well so patrols could vary from time to time. 

Unfortunately the server isn't like it was back in 2018. Most players expect every patrol to turn into a shootemup event and most players never step foot in Outpost Thesh unless there are NPCs inside to shoot. The actual proper civilian faction now also doesn't create a fraction of entertainment that the Sith faction did at the time and that's all to do with the state of RP in the server. I wish it were different but the way I currently see it right now is that a schedule system that forces players to go sit at Thesh for 30 minutes or so will probably only lead to people disconnecting or doing anything other than passive RP while there. Or they'd just expect a staff member to spawn 100s of droids or a BH Guild to raid Thesh. (Also not saying bring back Sith they sucked)

This system returning is very unlikely as much as I liked it back then. Just wouldn't work in today's Synergy Roleplay sadly. I implore everyone that would like a system like this to go ahead and take a group of people out to Thesh every chance you get and just chill there or even just patrol around. No staff, no droids, just passive RP. It's a great start.

Combine this and the BVB suggestion.

Bring back CIS and have a Faction v Faction.

Or someone can make an F.O.B that players set up however they will set it up by doing rp but who actually does rp now a days. But extremely hot take but what made the rotation back Endor for in 2019 was how players was involved with rp, not only that but Sith “love them or hate them” would bring some entertainment at Bravo that being a civilian or challenge Jedi to a fun duel that everyone loved to watch.
