Which server are you applying for?: UK
Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:626730025
Discord name: bsector_
For how long have you played on MRP: I started playing MRP a few months ago, however I have played previously. My current vtime is: 8d, 16hr
Age: 17
In what country are you located?: UK
Time zone: GMT

NATO name (regiment and rank): NATO PSC 'Biscuirts'
USSR name (regiment and rank): 10thSD SLT 'Biscuits'
Civilian name: Biscuirts

Do you have a mic?: Yes
Is this the first application you made? If no, link all previous applications: No, this is my first application for UHC
Have you received any kicks/bans/warning? and why?: I have recieved one FearRP warning, this was because I was still relatively new to MRP and wasn't entirely sure how MRP's FearRP differs from SCP-RP's FearRP.

Do you have any experience as a high rank on MilitaryRP?: I've not held any High Command positions within MRP.

What makes you the best candidate for High Command?:
Considering the most recent departure from USSR High Command being the 10th Regimental General, I feel it'd be a reasonable time to apply for High Command.

Leadership Experience: Within MRP, I have led 10thSD on a multitude of wars where we always perform to a high standard, I ensure we're properly following orders and make sure we're always responding to callouts, battling enemy tanks and giving appropriate callouts for other regiments such as ABT.
Furthermore, outside of MRP, I've held a long list of roles within SCP-RP, though MRP may differ from SCP, the overall leadership of regiments and ensuring performance still applies, I've held roles such as UNGOC-C GEN, Site Advisor, DEA Dpt. Manager, CI DELCOM and BCOM respectively.

Professionality: On MRP, I always try to remain a professional and calm individual, avoiding conflict with players and making sure people enjoy the game to their fullest, remaining professional as a member of High Command is of utter importance and should never be ignored.

Roleplay Abilities: Due to my long tenure within SCP-RP, I've contributed to a large amount of roleplay within the server, especially with opposite factions (e.g CI working with UNGOC etc), though this may not relate to MRP it shows my ability and confidence within roleplay.

Adaptability: Though I may be quite new to MRP and it's customs, I have quickly adapted and learnt how to properly play MRP, no doubt I will quickly adapt to the role of a USSR High Command member.

List your in-game ranks on MRP: 10thSD SLT, RMP SGM, 1stAL SFC

List your strengths and weaknesses:

"10thSD JLT 'Biscuits' scouting out NATO Light Armoured deployments in Afghanistan"

Maxim 'Biscuits' Navarro's history outside of the Soviet Red Army is mostly unknown, old documentation seems to relate to a previous time within the New World Order's 1st Armoured Legion at a Non-Commissioned Officer ranking.

Notable Participations:
1. 2055 - RANK: Master Sergeant, Maxim acted as the Tank Commander of a T-72 during the invasion of Bhutan
2. 2058 - RANK: Warrant Officer, Maxim operated a TAM, T-90 and a T-72 during the invasion of Poland by the USSR.
3. 2059 - RANK: Senior Warrant Officer, Maxim coordinated a small detachment of T-90As during the battle for Administrative Zone 00

CURRENT DEPLOYMENT STATUS:
Ranking: 10th Steel Division SLT
Deployment: Afghanistan
Orders: Oversee deployment of Infantry Fighting Vehicles and Tanks in the Farah Region within Afghanistan

1729650661662.png
Maxim walks into his office, though he knows somebody is here with him, he shrugs it off. It's the usual for him.
A letter sits on his desk, seemingly important.
"A letter from USSR High Command?"
Maxim opens the letter, and reads his new standing orders.

DEPLOYMENT STATUS:
Ranking: USSR High Command Major General
Orders: Management of all Armoured Divisions within Afghanistan
Assigned by: Marshal of the Soviet Union Mr. Abdul

What are the responsibilities of HC in RP?:
Members of USSR High Command are the highest form of USSR and have a large amount of duties within RP.

UHC Members are expected to lead wars for USSR, or assign leads when appropriate, furthmore UHC Members are expected to lead large roleplay scenarios such as events or player-led roleplay.
UHC Members should be looking to create roleplay for USSR members, this can include NATO players aswell, they should also act as rolemodels for lower USSR members.
UHC Members are the final point of contact for any issues within USSR, and are expected to take any and all reports seriously and professionally.


What are the responsibilities of HC out of RP?:
UHC Members are expected to manage the regiments within USSR, usually being assigned as a 'Regimental General' for a regiment, where they assist, answer questions and resolve any disputes within the regiment. However, they're still expected to assist other regiments in the same way.
UHC Members should be helping organise large roleplay events with the Event Team, Gamemasters etc, as they're also expected to lead these roleplay events.
UHC also may write documentation for their regiments, or approve documentation written by the CO / RC teams within the regiments.


Hi, just as a little note before you give your opinions on this application, I understand that I may not have the most experience within MRP and leading in general, but while this application is up I will be actively trying to lead wars, I'm also always leading 10th in war, peacetime etc.

-application looks decent

However, from being told and seen the 10thsd regiment numbers and activity are you sure you can leave the regiment in a good state? How will you help 10thSD if you were assigned to them?

Having leadership experience in scp is a plus however from my experience i would say its very different on mrp and the experience does help but really doesnt at the same time as the mrp community is very different to the scp community how will you adapt leadership that best serves the USSR (restarted) players?

You wrote war leading experience is a weakness which is one of the core dutys of a UHC member are you willing to work on this? How will you lead wars when your outnumbered 3 to 1? How will you motivate your faction?

RP - having experience leading and creating RP is always a plus however how will you try make your faction participate in a RP?

Also your highest rank achieved on mrp is SLT which is a junior CO role, which shows you dont have experience leading a regiment as a whole (documents, people, monthly reviews, meetings etc) which may be a issue if you were to straight jump to a role that is meant to lead the USSR

Anyways with all these things i have said you can work on it all which takes time and experience.

Hello, Biscuits,

I do like you but I don’t feel like you are ready for a position as UHC just yet, you clearly are a good committed player for 10th. But that is really it. I have never seen you show any leadership outside of your regiment.

Also with 10th not being in the best state at the moment losing their most active CO would not be the best.

I recommend showing more leadership faction wide and putting yourself out there more but I could definitely see you as UHC at some point.


Update:
Biscuits did lead a war with relatively equal numbers and he actually made an attempt to lead not just send people to points.

He did good so I’d like him as UHC

hi, thanks for this reply, i'll go through your points in order

1. 10th is currently suffering from general inactivity from certain members, though these are mostly enlisteds who don't play MRP anymore, I do agree if I were to leave 10th at this moment that it wouldn't put the regiment in the best state. If I was assigned to 10th as Reg Gen I would most likely start with the activity and number issues within the regiment as I've not really encountered many issues outside of that - this would mean getting 10th COs more active, seeking out USSR PVTs more often and actually trying to get people to stay and enjoy the regiment.

2. From my experiences, USSR and SCP leadership (CI and GOC wise) dont differ too drastically but I do understand what you mean, I do feel that I can lead USSR players effectively.

3. This is more of a weakness on the basis that I've not led many wars for USSR itself and more for 10thSD, I'm open to learning how to lead wars as much as I can.
3a. Considering a 3:1 outnumbering, I'd probably use FOBs to our advantage and build 2 on the lane we're defending, then attempt to defend and not lose any territory.
3b. I'm autistic so I'm not the best at social stuff, especially motivating people, I'm willing to always be positive even if defeat seems likely, even if we lose, I will ensure that we continue working towards our goals.

4. I'm willing to put time aside to coordinate events with GMs / Event Team that'd actually interest USSR players, such as mini-events that give small buffs to the faction which wins etc, this'd need to be discussed at a later time imo.

5. All the issues you've brought up here are issues I faced in SCP CL4 roles so I'm pretty knowledgable in it.

once again thanks for replying :D

Off of most of my interactions he does seem like a great leader. Can have a questionable temper from time to time but overall has decent characteristics of what a HC candidate should have.

Great response,

1. With this being said most of this you can do in the position you are currently in apart from the CO one but how will you get the CO to get active?

Actually dont answer my questions i dont wanna clog this up anymore

Anyways, i do believe you are a good candidate however rather see you work your way up to regimental command (Maj - Col) before UHC for the experience etc etc.

-Neutral

Hi, I see this and will be adding it to one of my weaknesses, I do have a bit of a temper. I try remain professional but sometimes I do get a bit frustrated.

The 10th CO team is usually pretty active, however if any issues arise I'd be consistently monitoring the situation and encouraging COs to remain active, I'd also likely increase medals given out to encourage people to continue playing etc.

Review of Biscuits' USSR High Command Application:

- Support
[Verdict]

- Lack of Relevant Experience: The most glaring issue is the lack of any actual high command (HC) experience within MilitaryRP (MRP). While Biscuits points to leadership roles in SCP-RP, the dynamics and expectations of MRP are entirely different. Their inability to cite even a single HC role in MRP shows that they are underqualified for such a significant position, especially when other candidates likely have direct experience in managing MRP regiments.

- Overemphasis on SCP-RP: SCP-RP is not a comparable environment to MilitaryRP. While some leadership skills might overlap, the management of militaristic factions and war scenarios is far more intense and requires a deep understanding of the unique systems in place on MRP. Biscuits' repeated references to SCP roles like Site Advisor and DEA Manager feel irrelevant and showcase a lack of understanding of what this new position entails.

- Weaknesses Are a Major Concern: Biscuits openly admits to frustration and identifies being autistic as a weakness in their application. In high-stress, strategic roles such as HC, the ability to stay calm and collected is paramount. Their own admission that they can get frustrated raises concerns about their ability to handle the demands and pressures of this position effectively. Instead of reassuring potential supporters, this self-assessment casts doubt on their suitability for HC.

- Limited Contribution to the USSR: Despite claims of leading the 10th Steel Division (SD), there’s little evidence provided that shows their contributions have been particularly impactful or groundbreaking. Claiming to perform to a "high standard" is vague and doesn't demonstrate any measurable achievements or innovations within MRP. More concrete examples of success or leadership growth would have been necessary to bolster this application.

- Weak Character Lore: The lore provided for their character feels underdeveloped and generic. It does little to demonstrate a deep connection or unique role within the USSR's structure. For a role as significant as High Command, the lore could have been an opportunity to set themselves apart, but instead, it feels hastily written and lacks the depth needed for a major role.

Overall, Biscuits lacks the necessary experience, has questionable judgment under stress, and provides an application that leans too heavily on irrelevant SCP-RP credentials. They are not fit for this role at this time and should focus on gaining more practical experience within MRP before reapplying.
 
Didn’t you beg Aleem for a rankskip in a public discord channel a little while ago (Begging is the wrong word but you were still asking despite the fact you state here you’ve held no high rank on MRP so are just trying to fast track your time on MRP which suggests you are power hungry)

Also you are literally only an SLT w/ no experience.
