To reclaim my MP competence and seriousness
Becoming a doctor like Colleen Seidner
To kill a Praetorian solo
To find my niche as a Praetorian
To get more laws into Marine Law to cut down on shittery
To RP kill someone with escalation
Become a coder

You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

The population inflates like crazy, rules and bans become stricter, tons of baldies. Thankfully, I never experienced the Grey Tide as a mentor because I became one near the end of September. I hope I survive it this year...

Well let's see.

1. Create a more friendly player environment by banning shitters and enforcing a bit more RP.

2. Get Predator whitelisted. Need tips on writing.

3. Get Commander whitelisted as I'm enjoying Shipside and Commanding roles more, gonna practice XO'ing more first.

4. Become a more interesting character with a personality ingame.

5. Get over some various irl issues that is causing me stress and salt in game as a side effect. I'm getting annoyed too much recently.

6. Survive the grey tide and complain about the high pop lag.

7. Maybe learn to code or sprite to help the server in other ways as well.

Probably some more, but those are the general goals I have regarding CM, the server, and so on.

I dunno how much I'll be playing this summer..

If it gets too heavily populated to the point that it chugs, I might end up limiting my time until the frenzy dies down. I am already still trying to adapt to the idea of having to handle a population of 130 players on average now, but if it starts hitting the 175+ range, I dunno if I'll want to play much during the summer... God only wonders how bad it'll be during the weekend...

But in the case that it isn't too bad, I probably will be...:

1: Trying to lead more, mostly as a CO, since I don't really indulge in it as much as I should. As a whitelisted CO, I really should get more involved in it, it's just that I have to be in a certain mood for it, you know?

2: Play lessor played roles more. I hardly play roles such as Medic and Doctor, let alone CMO and CL. I might try to dabble in them more and take a break from more commonly played roles so that I can get new experiences.

3: Try to get more Xeno time in. As much as I like being a marine, I feel that I gotta spend some more time on the other side of the resin. I already have played as a xeno a modest amount, but I really should play it more and try to master more caste types.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

Play frequently. Maybe rejoin as a mentor for the duration of the Summer Martial Law and not get kicked off because of malicious joke links in my signature.
