There’s now a lot of mud being slung in my opinion so I’ll address the points made against me real quick I won’t use the specific reply feature for comments as this message will get packed pretty quickly otherwise.
To Biscuits:
Being SFC previously doesn’t justify the rank skip as it’s not that high a rank. I understand you applied and I’m not directly saying that you are power hungry I am saying the amount of time from joining, being rank skipped, getting SLT and then applying for HC with no other high rank experience on MRP offers the suggestion of power hungry. I am making that point to encourage you to enjoy being in your regiment more first and developing more as a CO there before moving onto HC.
I am aware those requirements of SLT+ with CPT recommended are no longer in effect. I have read your application, I am aware of your experience on SCP but it’s not a simple translation to MRP as MRP functions much more differently and currently is facing a lot more challenges. The requirements I highlighted again to try and encourage you to build your experience.
I agree a lot of recent members are experienced as older players and that was a misstated point on my part. There is also the occasional person that has all the experience in the world but is still potentially unfit for HC, which I think should be noted although rare. New players that do apply for HC I believe in recent times (recent times, when I say it, does go quite far back and I believe is applicable to both sides) have not properly built up their abilities in many areas of being a HC which has been damaging for respective factions in the server.
The accusation from both you and Aleem that “I don’t play the server” is one that seems unfair and trying to downplay my points. I haven’t been on in maybe just over a week due to real life commitments but I was fairly consistently active for some time prior to that. So I do play the server.
My point on warleading being more developed is that there is less pressure on a CO leading than a HC, and you can observe more war leading and learn from that as well as developing strategies to help your faction USSR-wide. Becoming HC is also good for the development, but in terms of the structure after HC there isn’t much there which is another reason I advise against jumping the gun.
Overall, I do care who gets HC otherwise I wouldn’t be on reply number 3. I’m not here to torpedo your application on some personal vendetta I just recommend you wait some more and rank up some more then come back to this. I agree I lack some awareness on how USSR operates but I’m not blind and deaf and have some understanding on it, and where I don’t have such understanding I have not given a judgement as that would be unfair (e.g your activity or maturity, or contribution to 10thSD) and have only focused on areas where I feel I can make a contributing point and opinion on this application.
To Aleem:
Your opinion I’m not owed respect is one I don’t get, I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong but if you want to tell me feel free.
Once again I reiterate I haven’t been on in a bit over a week but was playing before that. I have not left any judgement on how Biscuits runs his regiment because I don’t know that, it’s good to hear he is making valuable contributions though and I think it would be good if he continued to do so for the moment. I have made the suggestion of him being power hungry based on evidence, and am encouraging to prove this suggestion wrong by merely delaying applying for HC as there is value in doing so.
I don’t want to be told I’m blatantly disrespecting people when it’s not true, I haven’t said he is 100% power hungry I have simply said there is evidence for such a suggestion. Besides that there is nothing else I have said that I feel is “disrespectful” as it’s all just honest critique.
I’d also like to call out the fact you say I’m “disrespectful” while you say I’m not owed any respect and refuse to elaborate on any valid justification why. You also have allowed two high ranking COs in your faction to insult me and call me a “shit HC” (I haven’t been HC since Jan 2023) and telling me to shut up or the other CO making sarcastic comments of “who asked” that contribute nothing. You have reacted with amusement judging by your forum reaction to these posts, showing you don’t actually care about respect in any way and just throw it around as an accusation that I’m not happy with you doing. If you are going to call me disrespectful then please practice what you preach and call out your own CO team actually being disrespectful and who are trying to turn this application into a mud slinging contest.
Sorry for long statement, and if formatting is poor I apologise as it’s written on phone.
