Review: ----------------------------------------
Gained Supervisor in 1.3 weeks into RAT.
I've been in RAT for a few months however, it is time for its review. RAT has been constantly growing with it's VIP recruiting from Bereza, the creator of the famous "TWO PLAYER GUN FACTORY". [The game is on his profile and is on the Front Page. Original and featured by ROBLOX]. RAT has one of the best technology in the clan world, especially with IC5[InfoCenter 5]. The rally center is quite futuristic and befitting of RAT, and so are the uniforms. Logos are plain and marvelous for the group on holiday or extracurricular occasions.
The fort, Sierra, is quite fair in terms of landscape advantages. Each team owns one Oil Rig to gain aurem to buy weapons. This currency is used at a shop. Shops spawner away from RATs but closer to raiders. So are the car salesman. However, RAT is automatically given the "Communication Tower". An overpowering device that allows players to communicate 250 studs away once captured. This allows for easier maneuverability and discussion of strategies. It is also an advantage to RAT due to the fact that they only have to capture[touch] the bomb for ten seconds to destroy but raiders must capture them and bring it into a building to win the raid. This issue allows RAT members to kill raiders before setting off the bomb. With RAT's overpowering server floods, most raiders lose merely because of numbers and the amount of spawn-killing happening. Currently, this is 90% fixed but bullets can still go through the spawn field and a boat can be used to go around it with some parkour and gun-glitching. RAT members will camp outside the tunnel of the raider's spawn and fire away, giving no exit for the raiders.
Raiders however have much easier terrain advantage to than RAT members. They can access the mountains to snipe away at unwary RAT soldiers and gain 20 aurem a kill! The bomb usually spawns about 3/5 from their spawn or 2.3/5 from it. Right near the middle where above, they can snipe, capture and take it back. However, once down, they must travel a hard path on the land and can't get back to the mountains without RAT members shooting them. An easier way to accomplish this is for an ally to have a vehicle to drive members to the building to win the raid. Raiders have 14 bombs, meaning 14 chances. Don't lose!
RAT's rally center is a great strategy-discussing part. Due to RAT's members, it's easy to spy in and leak information sadly using alts. This is usually futile as RAT improvises this at the rally center, investigating forts before they raid them.
Their training facility, Palaestra, is quite simple with its admin scripting and map values. A very simple,light, but nice build and variety of weaponry and training sectors. It allows up to 35 members on regular occasions and quite easy to navigate.
High Rank members are quite energetic on TS3. They chatter a lot and take ROBLOX extremely seriously. If you would like a High Rank who takes ROBLOX seriously a bit more in groups, and is active, RAT HRs are quite good.
Discipline and punishments are simple and quick but less efficient. A swift kick and then ban. Bans can be ensued for any complaints of AA, the failure to follow directions after one warning, jumping on the stage, talking, and such other reasons. The most severe punishment RAT HRs think is most productive is the removal of prestige. Read my personal section on this.
The High Rank system allows any age to become a HR. A child is actually a HR in RAT which is quite the wonder. He's even better than most clanners. "Stay classy". ----------
Failures and Personal Views:
WARNING: Some of these are a joke. Don't get mad. Get Glad. WARNING #2: BIAS IS IMPLEMENTED
RAT has a great promotional system of both Lua and Java scripting from Polymorphic and Sparrow Corps. Unfortunately, I feel that RAT focused more on aesthetics than the simple ideal that this is a game and a war group. The mainframe looks like something a business corporation would do and acts like an RPG system. This make RAT seem grindy with all the leaderboards. This creates a repetitive feel and easy-feeling kind of conduct. IC5 is also mainly gui based and its updates are extremely slow. FriendlyBiscuit/AbsoluteLOL is said to be busy apparently and wishes to do other activities. However, this is a game.
TS3 was once a place of horrors for me. The moment I used it in RAT's server, I was bombarded by the talk of men's balls and white liquids. This happens on an everyday basis with repetitive escalation. In my personal view, as RAT HRs repeatedly do this, and it is not a bannable[Yes, "bannable" is not a word. I just used it to make life easier.] offense. So at one time, I said I didn't like such guyxguy relationships and said I was h-phobic. I was replied with quite the shock and asked, "do you have a problem with them?" by many people. I do respect them, just surprised me by how open RAT actually was to people.
In one TS3 event, I was miraculously banned for 2 days for speaking on my mic and putting on FilthyFrankTV by admins but soundboard and screaming into your mic is apparently allowed.
Many members have talked about p0_rn and it is ignored usually. These things are taken as a joke while at times, you are kicked or punished for such things. Don't worry. I participated. >.-
So I tried a test and changed my name to Diamond Jackson, a P-star. I made it obvious and made it so admins can check me. I did get punished but it made me wonder about all the guyxguy talk that's also considered a joke and why my P-stars can't be taken. I concluded it to merely time, place, and manner.
With the flashy fort and mainframe, Palaestra fails compared to them in terms of anesthetics. The guis and detail is quite dull with the map loading. I expected more animation in map loads and better scripting. Apparently. Palaestra is still exploitable.
I got really, Really, REALLY annoyed when people said they'd deduct prestige from me because it was quite hysterical to me why promotional value or an experience would mean much to me when it can be earned right back. However, that's why RAT is so active. People just want that promotion for admin and prestige. As expected anyways.
RAT is really horrid at swords. The only problem is the amount of people there but if there was RAT sword division, it would be easily beatable. Although RAT is guns primarily, it should really catch up on swords to be able to raid other groups. Even the FoL members aren't that great with swords. [I suggest old animations to be practiced as well as most sword clans use old].
Lots arrogance. Much wow.
The HiCOM are active. Except Jammy. I never saw him before so I count him as inactive when it comes to trainings. Admirals rarely host trainings. I want to see their hosting skills at Palaestra. Fabiao and Bidoof are exceptions.
I would really like it if I could put up my re-make of IC5 you know. Err, uh yeah. They'll 99% say no.
THE VIP RECRUITING IS OP.
The Winter Games update or contests didn't even happen. That disappointed me. i wanted to go tryhard in a game for once.
RAT is really fun for me but it also is quite slowly-paced once you hit Guard or Marksman.
RAT HRs are very inactive when it comes to supervising. Many people get to host frequently, almost everyday while others only get to host once a week. A system should be installed where supervisors are logged to when they hosted so HRs can split their time. In the promotional rulings, Supervisors must host actively. Scratch that off the list i guess. Council Logs are not given to the inactive.
Suggestions: Note: Posted most in personal views
RAT would have an easier time raiding if they also focused on swords more as well. The allowance of two trainings at a time, with a gun facility and sword facility will help improve things.

You're not autistic.
I basically joined RAT and in 1 week in early December, I got Supervisor. Now it's January. About 1-2 months which is a few months or just a month. |

"IC5 is also mainly gui based and its updates are extremely slow. FriendlyBiscuit/AbsoluteLOL is said to be busy apparently and wishes to do other activities. However, this is a game."
or maybe it's because: 1) there aren't any updates to make except the occasional requested feature once a month 2) the updates have to be polished and patched mid-design durring the programming stage 3) the update package is then sent to polymorphic for server integration 4) the update undergoes extreme scrutiny and testing before being opened to the public 5) it usually breaks anyways due to some oversight and we scramble to fix it |

| Pretty good review Rated. Most of it is true, but some of it I think is a misunderstanding. Admirals aren't required to host or supervise because they have other more important jobs to tend to. The main ones who are to be supervising are the Justicars. Jammy is usually on everyday but he has an extensive job dealing with setting up all of the meetings and such. Also the talk of the TS3 is practically true, but the whole "relationship preference" thing is just a touchy subject to talk about because a lot of the active higher ranked RAT members "prefer the same gender." Supervisors are only allowed to host 1 training a day to prevent them being like the only one to host just trying to get them council logs. The Winter Games did happen as well, there just wasn't really many people hosting them. I still think it was a great review though, keep up the good work. :) |

"RAT's rally center is a great strategy-discussing part. Due to RAT's members, it's easy to spy in and leak information sadly using alts. This is usually futile as RAT improvises this at the rally center, investigating forts before they raid them."
The Warfare Department actively writes up documents regarding several clans bases, we know the fort inside and out before we even rally.
However, the comments you said about the teamspeak should have been addressed the moment you saw any problems - you've been in this clan long enough to realize we will take care of your concerns.
I appreciate your honest feedback.

That's why I put all those in Personal Views as they had bias and weren't 100% accurate. @Friendly Ah, well. Good luck. Poly should have more trust in you then.
@Rune Thanks. |

Sorry. This just irks me. Have to break it down. Don't take this as an argument; but I feel you pulled the entire tech section out of your butt.
"RAT has a great promotional system of both Lua and Java scripting from Polymorphic and Sparrow Corps." No Java was used and SpC had nothing to do with it.
"Unfortunately, I feel that RAT focused more on aesthetics than the simple ideal that this is a game and a war group." No, it's called proper UX with simplicity to create a smooth and easy user experience for all levels of stupidity.
"The mainframe looks like something a business corporation would do and acts like an RPG system." What.
"This make RAT seem grindy with all the leaderboards." What.
"IC5 is also mainly gui based" What did you expect it to be
"and its updates are extremely slow. FriendlyBiscuit/AbsoluteLOL is said to be busy apparently and wishes to do other activities. However, this is a game." See above post. |
