INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Imperial Gaming!

We are a gaming community based in Australia, providing a service that brings people together. Our hope is that our members enjoy their time here and refer to us as a second home because of how close we all are. We also pride ourselves on having the #1 Australia Star Wars server we are also on and off Australias #1 Garrysmod server.

This could not be possible without our extensive and well managed staff team, who volunteer their free time to help moderate our server and give our players things to do as well as our extensive and highly dedicated community of players who create and provide amazing roleplay experiences each and everyday. Below is a guide to help new players to the Imperial RP server understand some of the basic need to know training points within the server and the community.

WHAT COMES NEXT

Now that you have completed your training and become one of the Empires finest, whats next?

Once you have completed training you can start your journey to find a regiment that interests you. When looking for a regiment it is important to think about what kind of things you would enjoy doing within roleplay and what you are good at, would you prefer a heavy roleplay regiment? A security regiment? or a combat regiment?. Once you have found a regiment that you would like to join you can do 1 of to things, either approach a member of that regiment and ask about the possibility of participating in regimental tryouts OR wait for tryouts to be hosted and attend them at the advertised location.

Tryouts:

Once you attend tryouts you will be put through a serious of tests in order to determine whether or not you are a good fit for the regiment you are trying to join, tryouts will vary from regiment to regiment however the things that are typically uniform amongst all tryouts are as follows;

Faces - Here the conductor will test how well you understood and listened during your basic training when being taught your faces, the conductor will call out a series of faces for you to perform.

Formations - Here the conductor will test your knowledge of basic section formations in order to see if you will be able to conduct them on command from an officer.

Climb SWEP - Here the conductor will test your ability to scale obstacles and walls using the in-game climb SWEP ability, if you are unsure how to use this SWEP we recommend you ask a fellow member of the community for assistance OR view one of the many tutorials available online.

Shooting/Trigger Discipline - Here you will be tested on how well you can listen to orders which will be done by the instructor giving you a set of targets to hit and you are to shoot them in order of which they were given.

Interview - Here you will be asked a series of questions related to you, this is done so that the conductor can get a better understanding of yourself to determine whether you are someone they would want to have within their regiment.

@Gregis @Rivers

I see where you are coming from but credit is only given when you base your idea off another or draw information or resources from another. This guide is something I have had written up (90%) completed for a while now and didn't know whether it was worth posting, sort of like a few others I have written up. This post also contains all my original thoughts, words and formatting which is why I didn't see need to give credit, however if it going to cause a big issue then I will include credit if need be.

 

Regards,

Sully

Don't give me credit, there have been guides made before mine and there will be some made after. As long as new players are getting the support they need that's all that matters to me.
