As you may or may not know, I have recently returned to Roblox, and that means recently returned to JC.
I can see many differences in JC, some positive, some negative.
One example of negative is the IG. When I left they had become the most 'elite' section of JC, they were very disciplined, skilled and they were looked up to by the rest of JC. Now I went to a so called 'try-out' for the "Third Section", which was quite frankly embarrassing. I won't name names specifically but the trainers just sat there doing nothing other than using admin, it took over 40 minutes to do 3 short exercises. I had never heard of the two trainers before, and that means they must have joined JC within the last 2-3 months. Nobody should be able to obtain this stature in such a short period of time. The try-outs consisted of the two trainers, a general who had just come along, about 6 or 7 absolute idiots, and 2 or 3 moderately decently skilled people. For an IG try-out; being the 'elite' section, surely the idiots would be recognized and kicked within the first 5 minutes of the try-outs, when they were spamming things like "srry jus my frnd was blah blah" - grammar is supposedly something that IG holds close to heart right? Well why were these people even allowed to stay? I then called this General (THUnoob) to ask what the *bleep* was going on, and he completely agreed with me, this try-outs was a shambles, there was absolutely no organisational skills; or any skills really, present here. We both left.
I then looked over the current sections of JC: 1.) John's Cobras Imperial Guard 2.) John's Cobras Air Force 3.) John's Cobras Navy 4.) John's Cobras Death Korps (This name gave me cancer.) 5.) John's Cobras Officer Training Corps 6.) John's Cobras Judical Division
I will review what I have seen from these so far:
1.) IG. I explained above. Disgraceful. 2.) Why do we even have an "air force"? I understand that we need sections as the group gets bigger, but surely we could have useful sections? 3.) Navy, as above. 4.) "Death Korps". - One, the name is so horrible, I think I have cancer, two, what does "Korps" stand for? Corporation? Because that begins with a C, not a K. To me it's like using "Z" instead of "S" for example: Bratz - do we really have a JC section on the same level as bratz? Seriously? I do not know of the inner workings of the group, and I have no idea what it even does, it may be an extremely useful section, but please, make a new group, and make a new name. 5.) The OTC - I understand this section, but it has been completely side-lined. If you want the OTC, then you should make all captains join it, and make them go through it to earn the rank of Major - it shouldn't be an optional section. Either have it as a 'must-do' section, or don't have it. 6.) The judical division. I see the point - in a way. But the only time i've ever been there, there was an argument between a corporal and a captain, and it was one of these "He said this to me" "NO I DIDN'T OMG WAT r u ON" cases, and I just don't think we need a section to deal with this sort of thing...... Maybe have it for high-end cases, such as demotions (From colonel+) that can be appealed etc.
Those are only my opinions, but I believe that many others share them, and therefore something should be done about them.
My suggestions: What do I suggest for a good structural division layout? I think that each immortal should own their own section, and this does not mean that you just make up some really dodgy group so they own one, this means you put thought into what type of section could be USEFUL.
My suggestions:
How about sections that specialize in different types of warfare (And no I don't mean air and water like JCAF and JCN), I mean the only two types of warfare on roblox - sword and gun fighting. How about one section called - "Blade masters" (Obviously name can be revised and a decent name put in place, this was just the first thing that popped into my head) and Armament Specialists. The ranks are ranks of how good you are at each type of combat, this would easily distinguish good and bad players, and help others decide if they are promoted in the main section of JC. They would also help if we need to pull a final battle team together.
Some sort of reconnaissance-based section, who go to other group's bases, to scout to see if their base is fair, and therefore worth raiding by the main group. This section would suggest people to go to war with. They would spend a lot of time in enemy bases/other groups bases, trying to figure out the tips and tricks of the base.
Of course I couldn't suggest this without suggesting JCSO, I am probably being very biased here, because it was very similar to the IG. But there was one key difference. JCSO was actually good. At least when I owned it, I have been talking to many JC veterans recently and saying how I would like to get JCSO back and run it like I used to, I have not had one person who said they did not approve, or who said it wouldn't work. It was disciplined, and the whole group spent hours a day at the training grounds, because the training was FUN. So we were all insanely active (I was spending at least 8-9 hours a day online, as well as many others), and now that I have no college for 3 months, I can do this again. Just when I get my BC back that is.
My final suggestion is:
BE UNORIGINAL! Let other people be original for you. Host competitions for the un-official divisions, and let them compete against each other, with the promise that if one section stands out for what it is meant to, then that will be made official, the owner of it promoted to colonel, and they would retain 2IC and obtain 5k robux for this. I'm sure you will have a lot of entries, and once you filter through the shaggies, you will have a lot of originality.
Let's make JC like it used to be...But larger.

| In regards to the "Korps" section of your thread, I believe that the word Korps itself is a possible variation for the standard, "Corps", as in Engineering or Marine Corps. I believe Korps is used by some militaries that do not speak English as a primary language. But, I may be wrong. |

And with that I see sense being flung into the heart of the JC Empire.
Well done Dudie.

Hmm, I don't completely understand, You're saying that the Air Force & the Navy is Un needed, I agree with adding divisions specifying into different areas, But the divisions, Like Af, Navy, Ig, Dk have a low chance of being removed.
If that makes Sence to what you were referring towards?

Unlikely, but JC is a playgroup now. There is the main division, then the HR's that on the whole are decent. Then the sections which are play things.
I just saw today IG get "power armour" in fort fang. What is this? Power rangers?
Drastic action needs to be taken. Ranks need to be reviewed.
When I left, sherro/hammer etc were great.
Sherro hasn't even logged on in 4 days. Pwnox hasn't logged on in 3 days. Hammer logged on today - I understand he has exams, and therefore is inactive. |
