Hello, General Sickthunderkiller here of F.E.A.R. HCOM has been conversing over a serious topic lately, and this topic is the new major-officer system yet to be decided. It's all come down to two ideas: Aceslayer13's and mine. He made a Google document stating both ideas, and I will be copying and pasting it straight into this forum. So yeah, don't expect it to be from my point of view, rather Ace's. I may edit it just for the format of this forum. Anyways, please be honest and take into account which system you think will work best F.E.A.R. Rather than waiting any longer, both HCOM and I want to hear your opinions. -------------- Sickthunderkiller’s idea How it works- In my time in FEAR, I learned many things. The combat trainings, raid simulators, a ton! Wanna know something? Leadership was never a given. Experience is the BEST teacher in my opinion. -FMA will be kept, just the exams will be taken out. Filling “A,B,C, or D” isn’t so helpful. We will keep the classes, get new and more active supervisors, and possibly make them more advanced. -A major will go through FMA and complete all the classes, to then sit at a rank (per say graduated cadet) where they completed FMA, and it’s time to show their skill to us daily. -The major will have to show HCOM daily leadership at raids/defenses, activity in all FEAR events, good behavior and maturity, as well as utilize everything they may have learned from FMA. They need to show us overtime what they are capable of, and if they do it correctly, we’ll obviously know it and see it, -Next step is at a FM to vote. Now, sure, play that “bias” card or whatever. Truth is, there will always be bias in everything as long as humans are around. If the Major is ready for officer, it'll be obvious. The vote would need to be well over majority, it can’t be close like 8-7, and then that person would receive officer. -Once they become an officer, we will assign them a mentor from HCOM that will last them a month (unless it works out and turns to be a permanent thing). I do this because we need to guide officers on the right path when they start off and help them out in their new position. What I like about this… 1) The system won’t take ages to produce one officer. As long as the majors in FEAR are trying and showing us potential, it won’t take a turn into the dumps 2) Better than mentoring the majors themselves in my opinion. Lets be frank, do we have the time and resources to train and mentor majors. Explain to me what happens when we have well over 150+ majors, it’s bound to happen in the future. 3) We can always change it around. This is the core idea, we could always add new things on to it and make it more enhanced. We could maybe do something where we allow graduated cadets to cohost, WE seek them out to see if they’re ready. Heck, we can make a new division rather than use FMA. If the database becomes a reality, we can make the system revolve around that. --------------
Aceslayer13’s idea Major should be a rank that we begin teaching the key components of being an Officer. As a result of this, we should become mentors to the Majors and offer our knowledge of how to become an Officer, as we have all been through this at one point or another, and we as the High Command have gained even further knowledge of being a capable leader, fighter, builder, etc. Back in the day, we had plenty of diversity among our Officers, which made it a lot easier to pick a Colonel once we needed to fill a position. Now, all we have are Officers that kind of know how to host training's. Outside of that, our Officers cannot lead a proper raid/defense, they lack leadership overall, and lack of diversity in the Officer rank. This was in large part due to the teachings that FMA was doing, limiting those that went through it to learn pretty much only a small amount of information, and then were tested based on 1 class. With the new system, we need to begin spreading out the teachings that we give to the Majors, and give them a more hands on experience, rather than have them answer questions, or take 1 exam at a training center. As Sickthunderkiller has said, experience is the best teacher. So, why not give them the actual experience, rather than “classes” and “tests”. With the new system, we will be able to allow the following to happen -COL+ and select Officers will be able to choose 1-2 Majors that they wish to mentor in their area of knowledge (This part is mostly optional, though highly recommended.) -Majors will be able to host trainings, as long as a COL+ is the co-host of the training. -Majors will be able to lead raids, again with a COL+ helping them out. After a Major runs a training or raid, the COL+ will explain to them the “goods” and “bads” of what occurred during the activity, and the Major will take those into account as they continue to gain knowledge and experience in these areas. For the COL+ and select Officers, they will be able to teach the Majors in an area that they are familiar with (i.e. combat, building, scripting, etc.) With the database also coming out (remember, this was before Unclear's resignation), there will be a minimum requirement of points for the Majors to achieve in order to be later voted on at FEARMeeting by the High Command to achieve the rank of Officer. This is to ensure that they are learning from what is being taught to them by the COL+, and they are learning how to run a training and raid properly. Colonels and up will be able to add points to Majors who are demonstrating great understanding of the areas above. -------------- The alternative... We were also thinking about combining sick’s system with my system. With it, they will be able to do everything within my system upon completion of a class from sick’s system. For example, we have a class for training. Once you pass that class, you are able to do training's within the main group, same will go with raiding.
With that said, you've seen what it's been left up to F.E.A.R. You have the voice in this one. Give us your 100% honesty of which system you would want in place. HCOM will be review the opinions and decide as a whole soon. See you guys later! (If you're gonna troll in the comments C&G, make it funny) :)

Flaw:
The major will have to show HCOM daily leadership at raids/defenses
-Majors hardly ever go to A2 -They don't lead because I lead instead -HRs never come to A2 to see this leadership -Also how is 40+ majors going to be able to lead a defence when there can only be one/two leaders..

Also replace the officers/HRs with worthy people.
All the officers and HRs are too lazy and do not contribute to FEAR. Kill them all. |

FMA should be removed.
Everything was running perfectly before Andrew implemented this division.

"we as the High Command have gained even further knowledge of being a capable leader, fighter, builder"
'builder'
Seriously? There is only two good builders in there and one of them (SHADOW) will never contribute time into mentoring..
I'm sorry but 95% of HCOM can't build. |

| Sick I like your idea, but it sounds it will take a long time. But I like how ace's let's different officers mentor these majors activity after they do a training or raid... I don't know which one to pick :/ |

tl;dr Read boy!1!1
Billy and Hulk, Remember that I included that my idea can always be edited out, so can Ace's, as long as you understand the core of it. If you have any suggestions, post them. It's alright, just speak your opinion. |

Sick's option.
-FMA was working, the inactivity problem was going to happen no matter what. HCOM never cycled the FMA supervisors, that's what the problem was.
- COL's+ have stuff to do. Very simple, you can't make a COL+ feel like a game is a job. Making them have to supervise a Major every day (What the Major probably will be inactive as well) is just annoying for both Major and COL.
- FMA gets rid of the weak, undetermined and not ready. This will lead to Officers passing FMA to actually be active instead of the Officers that get Officer because they're just naturally skilled and don't do sh-t with it. (We all know Officers like that, don't pretend you don't.)
-In the future, FMA will get to a situation where it's plugged up with Majors. (Like the current one did.) As long as you get regular cycles of Supervisors to prevent a huge inactivity jump, proper care of classes it wont be hard to keep it rolling. (Something the past FMA failed at.)
- I'm not being bias. We all no I hate Ace but that's not why I'm not picking it. We've seen FMA work, we know it will work, but Ace's option is a risk. In the future, and we all know this will happen! COL's+ will get inactive. Majors will get inactive. If a COL goes inactive during a Major's learning is at stake. This Major could go on with months of no one doing anything to change it's tutor because a COL simply doesn't want, or can't replace his current one that went inactive.
PS. I get a vote because I'm FEAR REC. So, Deal with it. ^-^
But, that's just my opinion. ^-^ |

Also, I forgot!
-Sick's option is highly customizable where Ace's option of a simple COL+ teaching a set Major what he knows is it. You can't customize a COL+ nor how that Major learns unlike FMA where we could see it working and doing well. (Till all the Supervisors when inactive because HCOM couldn't cycle out the supervisors properly and didn't give a sh-t about it)
But that's just my opinion. ^-^ |

I like sick's.
I don't like Majors being able to host (even with a COL), kind of defeats the point of Officers since we can't do anything else. |
