Personally I think they're well played and fantastic characters.. But my bias could be based on me dating you but w/e.

That's not true, though. I know when I got that jobban and 3-day ban and it was not today or recently. I think you're missing the point. Its not when the ban was. It was that a more senior staff member pointed out that you were INCHES from getting a perma-ban. I'm sorry but that just isn't even close to what a moderator should have tacked on their accomplishments.

Can we actually leave the OP a chance to address/refute the criticism here, instead of going "oh, it's haters that don't like them so their opinions must be immediately discontinued"? I've got no personal issue with Sierra, lmao. I just saw that post, and felt it had the potential of being a problematic attitude as a mod, so I'd simply like to see what she has to say about it. Come to think of it, I've noticed a few hints of Sierra being confrontational, as if she was trying to pick a bone with certain users. I have another example here. As I said, it's fairly small things, but it's still demoralizing to encounter than from a mod. (And by the example I gave, I mean the sentence: "I'm a furry. There's other furries on this server too, but I'm not going to name them because you'll probably start throwing complaints at them too.") Do you have any examples asides from situations where folks, like yourself, start issues on the server and on the forums to deliberately provoke responses. I.E, playing on server and referencing Runescape and CoD while bleeding, and then enticing other people to do the same. Or is that the scope of your well of examples? None the less, I'd award this application a +1. Because its not that we need more hard-asses, but Sierra making sure that folks that have no right to put forth their opinions in situations that they have no stake in being apart of, should be reigned in. Tl:dr, +1

Right, gonna slip in and just post this. -1 Why? Well because Frances has this little issue with pride and deception. As it stands they've constantly seemed to pop up on discussions where they have no right to be and deliberately sparked issues with folks already trying to get shit solved. Now, this wouldn't be a bad thing and hell even I like debate. But its gotten to the point where, "Making Aurora Great." Seems to involve alienating everyone she deems unworthy of RPing. None the less, I have a few finals to study for so I won't get too involved. It just seems silly to me to elect someone to a mod position who seems to keep up to date with the server via arguments on the forums.

So the game didn't live up to the hype, slightly annoying but not surprising. Now I'm just waiting for the modding tools to come out so I can soothe my pain with a MIRV launcher that fires gold bars.

What about that whole timer thing for CPR? You know, you attempt it then it pops up with: "Keep doing this stuff for like 7 seconds then RP crying your heart out that you failed." Or some such closeness. Copy paste into the attempt to resist? I mean, then we can at least tell when its totally failed. Saying, "It will take about 2 minutes." Is a bit hard to judge so.. just that.

I'd uh...Assume this: If you have to write a disclaimer saying you're not actively trying to abuse someone verbally.. isn't that like saying, "I'm not racist but.." before what you're about to say? Still doesn't make it okay to harp on someone over several forum posts. And by people who, by all means, have been more active on the forums than on the server for a long while. None the less, TheFurry hasn't done anything majorly stupid, and all his actions have been justified. Really weird mind you, but justified or at least defended. And sure his "snowflakeyness" might be seen as annoying to some people that ghost and observe and do nothing but focus on those aspects of a person, but as it stands the characters he plays are enjoyable and can RP to a moderate level of understanding.

Is no one reading this? This issue was solved? Honestly you can have problems with the character but if your problem was already solved, its not going to help anyone by screaming about it. A person should not have to defend himself this many times. Christing fuck its actually rather annoying to the level of bullying someone over an issue that has already been solved. Admins have dealt with this. Stop bickering to bicker. Its over. Its the Aurora Forums, not the US Senate.

Hey ladies and gentlemen! Just realized my character was part of the conflict this round so I might want to chip in. And I just want to shed a bit more light on the situation. The REASON Nasir was arrested was because some newbie engineer couldn't take a joke about wanting to do some bad things to bad people. That idiot called sec and had Nasir arrested. Oliver.. well the TWO Olivers asked why the hell they were doing that, Roadman got arrested for STANDING TOO CLOSE TO THE OFFICER. Just let that sink in.... good? Now, they're carried off with Roy and they're all brought to the brig where its agreed they will do hard labor. The Chief and Stefan followed them to the outpost and WATCHED. Emphasis on WATCHED what sec was doing, the Captain stomping around in his mech, which I assumed only had non lethals on. We watch them putter about and stun the prisoners about five or six or twenty times before the Captain leaves the dock out an airlock. And the prisoners and put into the mining airlock. I start to feel where this is going and before I can even think the Captain is behind me in the durand and has fired a non lethal round. I'm in a hardsuit and this amounts to about throwing peas at a tank so I still stand. The then CHANGES from non lethals to lethals and proceeds to shoot me AT LEAST TEN COCK TICKLING TIMES. Near death if float away, seeing as how the Captain has now gone full Hitler on us. I come back after resting and coughing into the mic a bit to find the Captain trying to kill the prisoners in the mining airlock, "That the game you want to play eh? Two can do it.." and I start to unscrew the windows to the officers who are now WATCHING THE THREE PRISONERS CONVICTED OF NOTHING. BE EXECUTED. So yea. Mrimatool, somehow my cunning plan failed and only killed Paxton but no. I don't feel I should be punished because the officers were pushing for a rev round. This is the inherent problem, the rev round is made to push the revs or ANYONE to stand up to sec and no one wants to so its a Cold War where one side doesn't want to fight. None the less, I am sorry that Oliver Stefan killed Paxton. If I were to do it again I would have found a way to make sure that the other two officers died as well. The crew then ran back to the station as the Captain screamed terrorists and borgs descended on us. At this point Im laying in the mining shuttle under dead Paxton, infection has set in, and the people I saved have totally forgotten about me to run off. Borgs surround us and the Captain comes back to the station. He then says, "Take Paxton to medical to be cloned, leave Oliver to die. He's a terrorist." And the borgs start to move my body around, as I writhe around in pain and agony, and again the Captain says, "No, he's a terrorist, let him stay here." So, now we're running around telling borgs to disregard their laws about safe guarding crew, which Oliver was, so the Captain can have his way. Anyway that's my piece, or the way I saw it. Thank you for reading, not gonna be chatting much on this post again, just wanted to clear up what happened from my point of view. Oh and before I leave. This. A few posts ago you said something like, "I love being called a lair on my first day back" or some such. Well you are! You're lying right there! I was in engineering and that didn't happen at all, the officers came in, told Nasir that they wanted to "SEARCH HIM IN THE BRIG." We say, you can search him here. Then the officers tase Nasir and cuff him. Why? Oh I have no clue. Then they tase and arrest Roadman. Again, Roadman didn't do anything till you tased him. Sure he pulled stungloves but that was AFTER YOU TASED HIM. I hate to be the one here to say it but.. yea.. first day back in a while and you're not only being called a lair but you are LYING.

Right, so, I can tell atmospherics is not a strong suit here as I should remind you that, while the code for atmospherics is well done and all.. NO PUMP WILL EVER SEND GAS BACK THE WAY IT IS POINTING. THIS IS NOT HOW PUMPS WORK. YOU ARE WRONG A pump is a one way street. It does not backlog and send gas back. That is the essence of a pump. And if you start your critic of a system by saying, "I don't understand nor have I ever touched the system." Maybe try and understand it before blatantly saying that I am wrong. So no. Your assumption is wrong. Please don't make assumptions in atmospherics. That is how issues are started. Now I am going to wash my hands of this, let come what may. All I am saying is. This character will not make a good CE. He might some day make a good CE. But that day is not today. And I do apologize, you understand dealing with idiocy in atmospherics is hard to keep my temper with. And a very small note Mr. Nikov. When Oliver came to see how Manfred was training the recruit. Manfred was explaining gas law to the new recruit. And I conferred with quite a few people.. now. If you'd like to know how much gas law correlates into actual in game mechanics.. well it doesn't. Yes I know someone will ask how the person I asked knows this, well they're an engineering student who had to study gas law. And they, myself, and others agree that teaching a new person gas law is about as useful as teaching them RnD at the same time trying to teach them atmospherics. But I give up, you've pulled me down to your level and trumped me with persistence. Let come what may, let time and admins decide what is going to occur. I bow out of this rat race. Good day ladies and gentlemen.

We... agree on this.. so why take all the time to format it into some type of vivisection. I apologize Tainavaa but I'm having troubles finding your points no matter how hard I try and read. None the less, I do disagree. Why? Well because it has become a recent trend of heads, and engineers to adopt a god complex. And I know why its because the old engineers knew their stuff and had the habit of making note of it so the new ones are pulling forth with the statement they know everything. Now onto your first point you say that a head doesn't need to know everything. Agreed, its not hugely important that they know everything. But what you blatantly ignore is the fact that if a person is not all knowing, they should NOT have a god complex. Feel free to list, embolden, and highlight all the quotes in my posts to try and state otherwise but Manfred has shown time and again that he has the air of arrogance that make his methods the best ones. And when individuals who know better try and tell him otherwise. An example now, that this debate is growing tiresome. In atmospherics there is a pipe, that takes all the gasses from scrubbers and pulls them into the system. Normally it has a regular ol' pump when the round starts. Standard. Easy. Now the policy of Manfred and the CE he trained is to replace that with a pressure regulator. A pressure regulator has two numbers listed. The one that the pressure behind it should be, and the one that the pressure head of it should be. When I and others attempted to change Manfred and the CE he trained and say that no, such a device would cause a backlog of pressure and clog up the system to the rear. We were almost all shot down with, "No, I've never seen that happen." And no this is not an issue like, "Oh do we use large buckets attached to planes to fight the forest fire or fire trucks on the ground." It is saying, "Do we use firetrucks to fight the fire or do we just use a bucket chain from one side of the national forest to the other." But before we start debating atmospherics I need to say that this is just one example of poor choices and the refusal to change. If you refuse to adapt to ideas that are better optimized for the system. Then a bad Chief Engineer you will make. Because there will always be someone with a better way to do things. And if you approach each of them with a God complex, you will not learn anything and will always remain at that level of, "Oh I don't know EVERYTHING." That the other side of the argument seems to love.
