I guess I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around why you guys are just starting to complain about our RC now, when we've had the same thing for like 4 months. If it's always been this strong, why is this just coming out now? Something else is happening, tides are turning, powers are shifting (not mediating), and I don't like it...

+Support I honestly wouldn’t mind it being in lower if we could raid your house lmao

This is the part where you suggested we start to go on patrols. I was saying you implied it was simple, yet in reality it isn't, as you suggested something we already have in effect. Understandable misunderstanding to be honest.

We... we do. Switching barricades is simply silly, but patrols are one of our core activities. NCOs / Wardens of any rank may take Enlisted on patrols throughout LCZ to keep the whole team engaged. However, sometimes we’re in a grey spot where there’s just enough people in D-Block to hold it comfortably, but not enough people to send out on patrols. Similarly, we have escorts. Researchers come by every now and again to request D-Class and an escort. However, the site is always on Code Black, Red, or Orange, making it so non-combatants can’t enjoy their RP as much as we’d want them to. The point arises then, that if D-Block is being held just enough for there to be no protocols active, but the site is too low of code for Research to come by requesting D-Class, what do we do with our lower ranks? Simply put, there’s nothing we can do. This occurs WAY more often than one might believe it to, and it’s pretty much a stalemate for CMD. Our frequent PTs and Offmeetings are currently our biggest draw in my opinion. With the promise of a fun game at the end of the day with the possibility of a promotion along with it, our Enlisted feel the drive to get on and help hold D-Block. Not counting them as activities seems rather redundant considering its one of the few times we get out of D-Block and have some fun. Normal Gensec is probably the most mindless, infuriating, boring job on the server. It takes next to no strategy to sit in front of a barricade and shoot, which is why we give our NCOs the ability to patrol, our Enlisted the ability to go on escorts, and our CMD the ability to enter new zones freely. Coming up with new activities is, quick hint, no where near as simple as you make it sound in your suggestions. As it would happen, one of your suggestions (patrols) has already been a thing in Security for as long as I can remember. Coming up with new things for a branch that has to stay in one place for the majority of its time on the server is insanely difficult.

+Support - Good guy, wouldn’t mind seeing him in CMD - Warn is a minor offense imo - ME, proven himself as a Maintenance personnel already - Good app Best of luck.

Ye

-Support for the leaving D-Block +Support for the flag up (although I would rather give Senior NCOs power to give permission to flag on)

You’d think if there was a way to do this they’d have done it already. I understand your point, like how when you’re on 999 or 131 and you have to crouch for someone to be able to jump over you, you want that hitbox made smaller. I’m all for it, RP-wise sounds a lot more fun. +Support

+support yes pls :]

Man’s Phill left out Sadge Anyway I like what Bread said about reforming O5 staff to be A1, and making the presence of O5s common knowledge. +Support (for that, not a new branch)

Bread is big brain code man so I’m gonna go with him on this one, giving it a shot couldn’t hurt that bad, right?

Yes! You buy the golden weapons as a sign of support, not for the combat ability of it. There are other donor weapons for that.

-Support Complaining about Security holding D-Block for the majority of the day doesn't make much sense as it is quite literally our job to do so. Losing D-Block is a loss, a major loss, as you guys scurry throughout LCZ and HCZ and end up causing mass breaches. In my opinion, as a Gensec main, Security should never lose D-Block. Ever. I understand this isn't possible and won't ever be possible, but it's my ideal. D-Class are prisoners and nothing more - we should be able to regularly frisk you guys, kill on suspicion, and have access to the entirety of lower D-Block. Rioting is meant to be insanely hard. You chose the route of the D-Class when you bought your CC, and SMT have given you guys a blue line, purple line, and a huge black barricade that makes Partial Lockdown look like a little kid's birthday party. If you want to be able to riot against Gensec you need to plan out an attack, strike when we're weak, and strike with great force. I know there's the Union discord and I also know they barely use it for scheduled riots which seems like a pretty big loss considering there's like 150 people in there, some with CCs. I do hear word that riots are hard to plan out since D-Class are mainly the newest people in the server, but I'm certain that if you coerced them with the benefits of a large-scale riot, you'd have a following. Now onto the taking D-Block thing. Yes, in my opinion, D-Class take D-Block FAR MORE than they should. At this point, with Riot Control being the only thing between 3 CCs and 10 normal D-Class at a time, there is absolutely no need for a nerf, or "rework" as you like to call it. Yes, there are times where far less D-Class are on than Gensec and rioting seems impossible, and in these times you should either 1: Flag onto another job, or 2: Carefully plan something with the D-Class that are there. If there's not enough to take D-Block, then oh well. Again, D-Block isn't supposed to be like cutting warm butter. Don't try and make it as such by nerfing Security. Work with your peers and maybe you'll see results. It seems to me you don't understand that D-Class are supposed to be weak as you are legit making a suggestion to give you guys an edge. The most unbalanced thing on the server is also the only thing stopping 15 D-Class from breaching every SCP and causing nukes daily. Before, when RC had the Ithaca, it was an abysmal job to play on. I despise the Ithaca with a burning passion. The XM is far better for us and I don't see a reason to change it other than "Gensec are holding D-Block!??!?!?!?!? WOAH That can't happen!!!" TL;DR - Don't complain about the difficulty of riots; plan riots; deal with the XM P.S.: If you want your opinion heard, go to Security HCMD before making a suggestion that nerfs one of their classes. I'm aware it's not required, but for formality's sake (and our HCMD's sanity), come to us first.

Awaiting your return!

+Support - Active - Good logs - Been in Maintenance for a while, is an MP, deserves it - ew

Great work as DHWD, expecting great things from you as MAJ.

I'm honestly just taking a spot up. I've been off LOA for about 2 weeks now but haven't been on it enough to be considered off... Sorry, I thought I would be able to commit more time to O5 staff, but my other lives have me busy every weekend when I'm least busy irl. Later
