  1. It’s shameful to see what SG’s state has become over time. It’s even more shameful to see squabbling between former/current members instead of focusing on the problem at hand. ——— Structure ——— Before anything happens, the root issues must be addressed. You don’t build a house starting with the roof. The direction of our higher-ups is 100% an issue imo. Directions are talked about but not acted on due to a lack of support by other staff/members to help facilitate a successful initiative. We have a massive staff list yet how many of them actually take the time of day to become involved or ask “what can I do”? Very few. I’m split between agreeing with @Spiritwind on the fact our highest ranks/leaders need replacing to reaffirm trust within the communities members or risking that happen and having someone else that wouldn’t do as well a job and finish SG permanently. SG for a long time has been going downhill and the Staff vs Members outlook is a major issue. We need a proper structure to establish reliability and responsibility within staff and tbh the current select few (as much as I like them and hold no ill feelings toward) aren’t fulfilling confidence in our members. Condensing staff as others have mentioned to have a more collective at the top seems like a decent start. It’s a drastic structure change BUT slight changes aren’t what’s going to get SG on ground it can stand on. Keeping Caution as president would be ok until he decides to hand off the reigns again, permanently but the VP role should be abolished. @Dominic may have people against him due to past actions and I’ll admit, myself included was not very happy to see him let back in after all the fires I had to help put out years ago as most of the in server incidents regarding him was on server(s) I managed.. as well as BoM, myself and our guys in MKT having to counteract the advertising for his community. BUT since he has come back, I’ve seen dedication and an effort put forward by him. I do believe he wants the best for SG and I trust that he won’t give that up as many of us multiple times former staff have lost our drive to take an active role in SG affairs, he has not. Politics and shit has gotta be put to the side. @DominicI like you but to me at least it seems clear that quite a few members don’t have confidence in you holding VP. Thank you for being transparent and asking if you should step down. Although I don’t believe booting you out of an influential position is the way. Having some sort of “council” (with you included) as mentioned with a group of 6-7 pers at the helm with 1-3 pers of them overseeing a group of 6-10 pers each would be more manageable. Instead of having one person oversee the bds as a VP would, maybe a Primary/Secondary/Tertiary system among the 1-3 pers overseeing different aspects of SG would work better. In the long run. ——— Forums ——— Dead. Due to lack of players, lack of activity, split focus between Web/Discord & 100% because most active forum users have been banned and or left the community over drama/loss of interest due to community changes. It is now a place for former players to come back to and reminisce, talk to old friends or add into the occasional thread. The forums should stay as the it will always be a core part of SG. In my opinion it should be left as is, spiced up now and then by staff but in influx of users is needed. People won’t use it if not even the staff do. (I’ll add more about the Forums another time) There’s not many improvements that can be made without servers to drive in players. All in all. ———Servers——— This is a gaming community without anywhere to game right now! Looking at SG from an outside perspective It many games have community servers so the ones that do, we should be driving Tf into em. If another community has their foot in the door, kick em out! We are not in the place to be nice and not encroach on their “territory”. Not only having us move into new titles but also establishing connections with people already playing so we know how we should maneuver, to know what the playerbase likes is key (hence MKT shouldn’t having ever been axed. Information is what determines success or failure). I’m gonna add more and maybe add corrections to things I’ve said here, tomorrow or the next day, ideas may change or views may change. (Saying this before anyone dogpiles on something I’ve said, knowing it’s not definite).
  2. Military Advice

    Thank ya, been loving NB so far! Great people, seeing a girl, and a cool ass job. Farnham is where you do your first taste of the field during Basic. Doing section attacks, repel towers etc.. I had a blast there even though it rained 24/7 the entire week I was out there and I’ve loved going in the field every time since!
  3. Military Advice

    I appreciate this Caution! Some things you’ve said I have learned and apply, definitely a lot of things in common as per your experience. Wool socks for heat and moisture expelling, foot powder, nicotine (thankfully the reservation is close and Fredericton the Province capital of 50,000 people lol), long johns for chaffing and breaking in my boots. I actually went out and bought my Altima Foxhounds since everything issued sucks (basically my whole kit is aftermarket) Our gov doesn’t like to give us new equipment.. Ive been sticking to baby wipes but the tea tree oil shampoo is good idea I haven’t done yet, same with the space maximizing for folding. My Bombardier has 2days of clothes folded within his tunic for his ruck so I gotta learn that! I appreciate the advice, “Embrace the suck” is a common saying in the CAF too, that and “give your balls a tug bud” haha, but that’s more the Army.
  4. Military Advice

    Hey, Im gonna be going to my first unit/regiment, most likely Air Defence or STA (Strategic Target Acquisition) since for Gunners that’s all the CAF wants rn.. I wanna ask if any other service members here have any advice or things to look out for that I can use to progress further in garrison or any tips for the field. I’ve been in the field a few times and have learned quite a bit but there’s always more. I’d greatly appreciate any advice.

  7. Let’s go shooting again when I’m finished combat school in Gagetown and I get to my first unit! I’ll fly you out bud. I still miss the good ‘ol days on TTT
  8. If you can’t beat em.. join em. congrats guys! Welcome back to the club 3ni
  9. Good to have ya back again, again… and again
  10. I’m really sorry to hear about your pup, the fact he/she wasn’t drinking water is the most worrying part of everything you had been seeing. Find comfort in knowing you provided a good and happy life for em, they are a part of your world/life but you ARE their world.
  11. I’m happy to be back where I can help with meaningful work! Thanks boys
  12. Hey so with this thread being put out a bit ago. BD Designation There have been quite a few changes in the community ranging from a change in our highest-up leadership but also the abolishment of CA. I’m asking for the sake of transparency, is this the format that is still being implemented currently? Have discussion(s) happened since these changes and if so, what were the results? IMO this isn’t a pressing issue by any means, just a general thought from looking at the past thread. Should talk about it when you all feel it’s an appropriate time to if not. I’m curious to see how this same layout will work as of right now or if changes are made.
  13. Great initiative! Plus…. AMAZING choice for an Adam Sandler gif, big ups
  14. If Oooonly we had a team whose focus was centred on finding not only internal problem areas for improvement to increase community engagement, overall “quality of life” and other financial duties but ALSO external forms of growth through partnerships, advertising, giveaways and producing extensive research on future trends or opportunities that could be beneficial for the community to be a step ahea— Oooooo wait.. Just messing around but yes, this idea has been brought up many times in the past and I’m sure is in their heads currently. Those are good ideas, hopefully those thoughts are acted on. I for one would LOVE to help with acquiring partnerships and rebuilding the marketing team back to where we were 1 1/2yrs ago before the communities internal/external issues occurred. That was were I felt my best contributions over 2yrs laid. *hint hint*
  15. See y'all around

    Thanks for putting in work while you were able to. Hope you find time for the important things in life and are successful with em.
