I mean the only thing inherently wrong from what I see is him just being on top of the roof of US DB on RU recruit, I mean I guess you could consider that FailRP but that just seems like such a miniscule thing to report someone for, it isn't like he was harming anyone or anything unless I'm missing something obvious here.

+1 I know he just became active again recently but I don't think he needs so much time to "get to know the community better" again. I mean, the community doesn't change that much where he needs to wait 2-3 weeks before he can apply. I think if he wants to help the server by applying for staff then I think we should let him, even if he isn't that "connected" to the community yet. It isn't like that is going to affect him in any way in doing his job. I also have seen a lot of change in Witchings and I haven't had any bad interactions with him since his return. Because of this, I am going to plus one. Sorry if this is written poorly, It's currently 2:30 AM as I am writing this lol.

Honestly I'd prefer for the removal of either of them (Preferably Marines but that's just because I'm biased omegalul) but if we did you already know the high ranking enlisted/officers for the side getting removed wouldn't go down without a fight. The proposal Dillan made is most likely the most "peaceful" option we have lol.

I think this post does a great job addressing the issues US is having at the moment, but isn't it kind of weird to make 1MD a "lesser tryout" faction? If we're not going for realism then this is definitely one of the best solutions at the moment, but if people are for whatever reason worried about realism I don't think this solution will pan out. I also agree that the recruits need to start spawning on US, at least for a little while. Personally, I think it would just be best for the spawn for recruits to be switched between the two sides bi-weekly, but I doubt Garnet would want to change it that often. This or go back to it being a neutral spawn, I think there were some issues with this option actually but I can't remember what they were lol, if someone could remind me why we switched from that I'd appreciate it. Maybe these ideas won't pan out, but I'm glad it's at least starting to be talked about, as I do believe these are some prevalent issues the US is having at the moment. Good question, I think MARSOC would just continue to work as usual, right? All that's different is 1MD is a more "Advanced" kind of a faction.

Town center feels a lot better of an objective to play on than Boardwalk, for sure. Good update, from what I see so far I don't have any complaints! Thanks Garnet for working so hard!

Wait this is such a good idea actually, I might become a US main again once this is released lol. Can't wait for this to come out! Gonna be a blast re-living the nostalgia with Air Force coming back lmao, gotta find Dodgy and get him back on lmao.

Personally, my favorite moments were just seeing this community grow and evolve even further. I didn't achieve much during this year, other than working through the ranks in 2GA, and eventually becoming a LT under Viva. This year for me was mainly just having fun on the server with friends rather than just focusing on the RP/War aspects of the server, so if I had to choose my favorite moments it would just have to be me hanging out with the friends I've made on this sever over the years and seeing this community continuing to grow and expand.

I agree with this as well. I'm not so worried about someone massing on an objective, I'm more worried about some PVT not realising I'm a friendly and gunning me down. I'd like this idea if the privates on the server weren't so incompetent, but with how I see the average private that joins daily I think this is just going to cause more harm than good. I'm just thinking back how it used to be when it was turned on, and it was not pretty. Maybe it'd be different with the new meta and new map, but I have my money on history repeating itself. I just don't like the trade-off for adding friendly fire back, personally.

Cool update, glad we finally got some changes to the forums heading our way! Congrats!

+1 to both, except maybe lower the staff rank requirement if possible. This is so fucking true lmao. Poor US can't even hold a single DB after getting fucked in war without RU SOC raiding them every time. Feeds don't even mean anything at this point, they kind of lost their "value" ever since they allowed raids during DB. It might be a pain in the ass to enforce, but it's really needed right now. Good suggestion.

Club House

Lol this dude cherry picked the fuck out of that conversation, I was going to say that spilq was in the wrong for that language but the OP was an absolute dickhead in chat, and spilq didn't even directly insult him in any way. I mean you could say that was still unprofessional of him to say those things, but I mean come on, we're all here wasting our lives on a shitty old video game. It isn't like we're a professional company having to abide by "standards". It would be one thing if it were on the server in the public, but this was in DMs lmao. I wouldn't trust this dudes word after him cherry picking specific parts of the conversation like he did, and I don't think spilq should be punished at all for what he said.

Gotham pretty much nailed it on the head, and I don't know why people keep bringing up this ludicrous idea time after time. Wiping the SOC factions will do nothing but hinder the state of the factions even further. I'm not on the server much at a consistent rate so I don't know how much SOC are actually failing to actually perform or be unbiased, but to call for a complete wipe of every SOC faction is kind of redundant. Like gotham said, if the factions are wiped all that's going to happen is veterans who haven't been on since 2017 are going to start coming back and are going to try and butter up Phantom/Gildarts/Garnet to give them the leadership positions, only to leave it in a worse state and resign after 2 months. We've seen it happen with different factions like SEALs or Delta Force (May they rest in peace) in the past and I'm sure we'll see it again at this rate. Hell it even happened with Army at a point in time with people like Gary Sanders/Shrugger coming back and fucking it up. If it really is at a point where it's starting to hurt the performance of the server, I believe high management staff needs to come in and "supervise" these leaders instead of just straight-up removing them. There just isn't enough competent people on the server to replace all the current SOC leaders without it going to shit. Maybe this isn't the best idea, but I don't think just purging the factions and starting a-new is a good idea. Sorry if this is pretty much a copy-paste of what Gotham said, I just wanted to voice my opinion on this.

Wouldn't this upset the balance of SOC factions on each side though? I don't remember the exact amount of factions on each side, but I thought they were even last I checked. I understand that you "want to clear the path for bigger and better things", but I don't know if that would be a good idea to remove GRU without having something already planned out to replace it beforehand. If you're only reasoning for removing the faction is "They serve no purpose" and "GRU models are too fucked up to even deal with" then I don't think those are good enough reasons alone to warrant removing the faction and displacing so many people that are in the faction already.

-1 The old third person combat system was more trouble than it was worth. Jackal pretty much summed up my feelings for it, so I'd rather not see it make a comeback.

So does this mean you're joining the reserves krew now?

Sad to see you go mate, we didn't talk much at all but you did a great job leading PDSS. Goodluck with whatever you do next in life.

jesus w h a t t h e f u c k Anyways, I completely forget about what you're talking about so ur chill in my book lol

+1 for removal. The gamemode itself isn't even that fun tbh, I'd just prefer for it to be removed.

So you went through the trouble of making a forums account just to post this stupid "appeal"? You act like you making this threat and using edgy language affects anyone in any way lmao. ngl bro thats pretty cringe.

That's why I said, "If his attitude/maturity from the forums is how he acts like in-game/IRL then he shouldn't have the manager position." And from what the poll said it looked like a lot of people agreed with me. I really don't give a fuck if you get manager though, so gl with that.
