All Activity

Lore Impact (Small/Medium/Large): Small Species (Skrell, Tajara, Human, Vaurca, Dionae, Unathi, Synth, General): Synth, Human Short Description: Orepitter Xanans are those, both synthetic and human, who emigrated from the Ecclesiarchy of Orepit to the All-Xanu Republic, either after the instatement of the Open Doors memorandum in 2465 or the lifting of travel restrictions to and from Orepit in 2467. Though smaller than the other immigrant communities, they are making their presence known on Xanu Prime with the creation of Trinarist temples in the cities, have their own interactions with Fisanduhian Xanans and Vysokan Xanans, and have their own notable figures in Xanan society. They are chiefly first generation due to the very recent nature of being able to travel off-world from Orepit. How will this be reflected on-ship?: It could be reflected through increased conversations about Orepit and Xanu Prime, and the relations between the planets and the status of living therein. Mainly, though, it can be added to the Xanan Life, Culture, and Society page on the wiki along with the other immigrant communities. Does this addition do anything not achieved by what already exists?: It will give Orepitters who participated in the original Open Doors memorandum or emigrated from Orepit after free travel was instated more information to apply and to talk about if they've chosen to reside in the All-Xanu Republic. Do you understand that the project may change over time in ways you may not foresee once it is handed over to the Lore Team?: I do! Long Description: Here it is!

I will be denying this due to your history on discord and in game. Please do not appeal this. Locking and archiving.

Public Housing Works to Begin in Shastar City and Mztel’mir As part of the continued efforts to expand the nation’s urban centers, President Almrah Harrlala and Governor Fartul have announced the expansion of public housing works in Shastar City, Mztel’mir, and local ruralities. Housing in the Das’nrra state has been a hot topic as the urban centers continue to grow under the vision of the National Adhomai Worker’s Party. With the case of “urban flight”, as it has now been dubbed by academics, many ruralities have seen younger workers enter urban centers such as Shastar City for better pay and amenities. However, with such cases it has led to the stressing of previously constructed housing. In a speech yesterday at the steps of the Das’nrra state capitol, Governor Fartul announced the plans. Over the following five years, he intends to double the housing capacity of all urban centers in the state. President Almrah Harrlala continued on to point out the economic benefits that come with major construction. The speech was met with praise by those present, and later by members of the Worker’s Party and People’s Party. During the final stages of the speech, local proponents of the Blue Party formed a protest against the urbanization of the nation and destruction of Adhomai’s natural beauty. President Harrlala promised the construction efforts would be designed around the local environment to preserve what was left of Shastar City’s local environment. In the National Assembly, legislation was proposed by Worker’s Party representatives to nationalize the housing project, and expand it to Southern Ras’nrr. Met with staunch resistance, Bakhteiarova Mirzakhani disregarded the proposal as nothing more than the destruction of Southern Ras’nrr’s culture and further encroachment on Adhomai’s beauty. Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy called for the expansion of the proposal to lands under the Rhaza-Akhran to boost industrialization and lay the groundwork for continued growth of arms production. Maksym Razin raised the idea of incorporating S’rand’marr and Ma’ta’ke temples into the design of new public housing. The proposal was tabled. Local construction companies will begin clearing of sites in the following weeks. No set date for final construction has been declared.

This appears to be the full reason ingame. I don't expect I'd repeat this behavior.

Normally, if you disagree with a reason you were banned, you normally bring it forward immediately in a staff complaint, but as the person banning you is no longer staff, this is the correct place. I am more than happy to DM you the reason you were banned in game, which I'm sure you can see if you attempt to log on, but yes, you were also ban evading on discord, which we do not appreciate. I will leave this open while I await your response.

BYOND Key: Lorilili Total Ban Length: Permanent Banning staff member's Key: lmwevil Reason of Ban: Requested permanent ban from server after argument in general discord Reason for Appeal: To offer a bit more context, that reason isn't all of it. I also technically evaded the Discord ban afterwards by joining on my main account after having deleted the alt I used for Aurora. If I recall, that's why it stuck - a zero toleration policy towards ban evasion. For that reason, and the fact that this is my second self-requested permaban, I'm not expecting this to get accepted but I thought I'd fire a longshot. It's also confusing to me whether this is supposed to be a staff complaint or an unban request. I was told by one person (non-staff, but still in the Aurora community) that I asked that it would be a staff complaint, as I do not entirely agree with the reasoning behind upholding it. Though it's been quite some time now and I noticed the staff member in question is not on the list of staff on the forum, which further confuses me as to what format I use. If this is better fit as a complaint, please do clarify. I've been out of the SS13sphere (outside of a brief tryst on another server for a month-ish in Spring) for a bit and some of these things have slipped my mind in the time since. Anyway, my main point here was going to be that the ban evasion in question was joining the Discord for less than a day to look over logs related to my ban, followed by leaving without sending a message. I don't recall exactly when this was, but I do know I did not send a single message in that time nor did I ever, at any point, join the game server itself or anything of that sort. It was very sincerely more a stupid moment of not realizing that joining the Discord to fetch those logs would, of course, be a form of ban evasion - which feels obvious a year later, having had it explained to me, but I digress. I do not think that the action was done with the intentionality that I feel would necessitate such a harsh response, is my point. My only further comment would be that I was a very, very active Aurora player for a long time, and that my Discord conduct was not exactly desirable. If this ban were lifted, I would certainly avoid returning to that - the entire reason I'm actually filing this unban request is that I was scrolling down the hub to check out another codebase, and realized that I didn't feel very strongly about Aurora anymore. Which, in this context, feels like a good thing to me, in that I am not so over-invested in the pixel game as to throw tantrums over it as I once was. Sorry if I've filed this wrong one way or another.

Not quite! But I noticed as well. The PRs should be stay as small as possible to prevent scope creep. Somebody just needs to map in more of them but i think the last discourse in mapping was: Let's wait for the notice board refactoring.

Will this include expanding the amount of notice boards on the map? After interacting with the one in engineering I flew around as a ghost to see if any others had papers attached, but was basically unable to find anymore for other departments. There's the ops one, xenoarch one (legacy as it spawns with preset made up papers), and some in the public bridge area. Would love to see at least one per department

Janitors have access to areas on both sides of these airlocks, but do not have access to the airlocks themselves: Engineering Breakroom Library The hallway outside of the commissary is too dark when the lights in the commissary are off. A light ought to be added here.

A delight to play with and against. Genuinely hope this whitelist is approved because I want to see more of this captain.

This man armed a coup and sold my homeworld into Adhomian-style civil war for phoron extraction rights. Command material. +1.

I've only had the pleasure of being on a single round with their captain, but they have played into the role stunningly. I offer my most humble +2.

Hi! This application is approved. Your WL will be up shortly. If you have any questions, I recommend using the #lore_channel on the main discord, the Synthetic section of the lore discord, or reaching out to a member of the Synthetic team (Myself, Hazelmouse, or Stryker). Enjoy!

Jewel Starlines Reports Major Drop in Profits from FY66: The End for Interstellar Travel? UTHMA, PERSEPOLIS (GST) - Jewel Aerospace (JEA), parent company of flagship carrier Jewel Starlines, has reported an overall loss for financial year 2466. This comes as a surprising drop in fortune for the company, with FY66 having been one of its best on record. Other interstellar carriers, such as Pan Solarian and Air Konyang, have reported net profits for the fiscal year, leaving some shockholders confused at how JEA could be operating Jewel Starliners at a loss. Professor Mücahit Okur, of the Harun Al-Rashid University of Economics and Humanities, provided the following statement to the ENN via email. “The problem is fuel. Jewel Starlines has long prided itself on being the sole flagship carrier to exclusively use phoron-based bluespace engines in its interstellar fleet, while other carriers — such as Pan Solarian — use primarily Helium-3-based warp engines. Being the fastest, most luxurious carrier in the Spur does not matter if you cannot turn a profit due to fuel costs and exorbitant ticket prices.” Jewel Aerospace told the ENN it has, “the utmost confidence in Jewel Starlines to turn a profit,” and has no intention of cutting staff or routes from the company. Despite this assurance, shares of Jewel Aerospace took a dive on the New Suez Stock Exchange, closing down 5.73% from their opening price. Analysts fear this may be a sign of worse to come for the flagship carrier, with similar one-day share drops having occurred before the bankruptcy of companies such as Uthma Interstellar and Medina Warpways.

On trial until 27 August 2025

Apologies for the delay. Accepted

Anyways, ill probably be making the PR in the next few days if no major objections come up. How it looks like its gonna go is: 8 BC/TC (same as NT hardsuit) for empty versions of all the standard combat hardsuits, which are essentially just faction reskins of each other. Heavy armor in hardsuit form basically. 10 (TC only) for those suits that have unusual, stronger stats. (Which currently would be Unathi Breachers, Redsnouts and Vaurca exoskeletons. No Bunkers or Hunter-Killers yet.) Price is set to allow a faction gear loadout to still be bought with the available TC if nothing else is. Possible addition of some more modules to the uplink?

Reporting Personnel: Vien Xuan Pham Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Hangar Technician Game ID: The round prior to cBa-aeHx Personnel Involved: Rabi Bali, Shaft Miner - Offender Vien Xuan Pham - Victim Chia Li - Shaft Miner - Witness Philip Jesse - Shaft Miner - Witness Time of Incident: ~16:25 MST 08/18/2025 Location of Incident: Operations Warehouse Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [ ] - Neglect of Duty [X] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [X] - Misconduct [ ] - Other _____ (Place an x in the box that applies. If other, replace line and specify.) Overview of the Incident: Around noted time, I arrived to the warehouse to find that Rabi Bali, Chia Li, and Philip Jesse were present in the warehouse as I stepped in. As Rabi Bali had a habit of attempting to swipe objects in the warehouse, and all three of them were standing together with Chia sounding guilty, I asked if anything had been taken. Chia began to speak before Rabi immediately interjected that his behavior (which I wasn't aware of at the time) was excusable because I wasn't present. After telling them to vacate so I could begin my work, Rabi threatened to break into my dormitory (to apparently "shit in my bunk") if I sent all the medical supplies to medical, which is the purpose of my job in the warehouse. I also noted that Chia Li stated that Rabi had taken a katana from the warehouse beforehand. Because of this, I corrected him over the radio in that if he wanted mortaphenyl (which he and other miners stated seeking from the warehouse in the past), he can simply request medical after I had sent it. Auil'suos Insuso-Haq'tola'zlip, the captain as of that shift, interjected by stating that the channel I said as much in was monitored, which prompted Rabi to begin insulting and became only more aggressive towards me. I stated as much to Auil'suos the situation above, that I told them not to take from the warehouse without a proper release form signed and received by me or another hangar technician. Due to the other miners and Rabi continuing to protest by this point, I stated that any real requests can be sent to my PDA's messenger, and removed my headset. I was later visited by Captain Auil'suos, who asked exactly what the situation was, to which I stated my personal account. While they stated that security would be involved, I never heard anything forthcoming from security from the situation. Later on, after the miners returned from their trip, they had captured salvage, which included firearms. Rabi made a point of showing a revolver he found while I was nearby, which was engraved with the name "Technician's Lament", and spun the barrel loudly while I was present. While he never spoke during this, I assumed this was a veiled threat, followed up by a vague comment after Chia said they would turn in the firearms they salvaged. The miners never did so, and he apparently kept said revolver to my knowledge. Submitted Evidence: Would you like to be personally interviewed? [X] - Yes [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: Yes, Auil'suos Insuso-Haq'tola'zlip, Captain Actions taken: Promised that action would be taken after the report. Unknown outcome, never elaborated. Additional Notes: Even if nothing comes up from this, the general decorum of the shaft miners has been steadily becoming more adversarial and hostile to the hangar technicians in recent memory should be noted. It isn't becoming a sustainable relationship in the department.

not to post my own hijinks or anything (@Mr.Popper took the screenshot so it doesnt count) but the timing was really funny on this

I feel like calling Bubble "iconic" is a bit of a stretch.

I don't think that I've ever really seen people, IC or otherwise, enthusing about Bubble over all the years. Before this change I hadn't realized that it even had a name.
