What Menown meant by that is. 1: Naming your character after your Ckey seems like self-inserting, something unfavorable in the roleplay community. 2: Just avoiding lore is not allowed in your application, one of he many reasons for these applications to exist is for people to show understanding of the lore and display that they're capable of playing the species up to snuff. 3: Your application is short, vague and all around horrible.

[Approved]Zero's Tajaran App.
Coalf replied to ZeroNetAlpha's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
I remember Jakobs, yes he was shit. Yet still I remember Huff and I remember Huff much, much more and in the positive light. Although he likes to huff and puff he's still one of the actually VERY capable engineers that doesn't blindly lead a crossbow and spear charge against every antag he finds, just on that I'd give you a +1. The thing is I planned to bitch about a backstory, but really, I suprisingly found nothing to bitch about, everything seems to actually fit and although as previously mentioned your reasons seem to be more mechanical than lore-related it's clear you have actually read the lore. Although I'd question where a Tajara hospital got access to such advanced prosthetics besides them being imported. Otherwise I have no issue with this, good work. -
Zortecino's Unathi Application (Zoroko Fon)
Coalf replied to Zortecino's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
You uh, you have a very worked out backstory. The thing is you most likely aren't going to be accepted until you spend some time on the server itself as another character so we can see how you play and how exactly you will play the character you're whitelisting as. This is a trust based system so go out there, build some trust. -
[Accepted]ParadoxSpace's Tajara Application
Coalf replied to Snakebittenn's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
Not bad, certainly a refreshing application with all the simple Zhan miner's arriving recently. The ALA alignment is suprising and seems actually tastefuly done, I am curious to see how you'll handle that on station since you're basically a terrorist colaborator. I have to say I had a giggle at the band and love the idea, question got all the band members and what they played? Anyways one serious question. How exactly do they plan to send the money back on Adhomai to ALA? I'm guessing an ATM machine isn't really an option since funds can be tracked, how do they plan to do this exactly? That's I think all, for all the shitty opinions Paradox has in Discord he's a decent guy. So yes, he has my support. -

[Accepted] AllyBearsley IPC App
Coalf replied to AllyBearsley's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
I know Ally and I know his character, he's actually pretty good. Backstory is, well it's quite bland but functional a few questions though. 1: If the family was so poor, how did they get on the Frontier? After all it's the wild west of space and people go there to get fast cash, seems kinda iffy that a family would be able to go there but not go back. Huh actually I guess I just had one question, well alright. -
I have to say I disliked Evan's as a character very much and always considered you an alpha level powergamer. That's why I'm pleasantly suprised how much you've turned around, it seems you got your head straight and checked yourself before you shreked yourself, Costle is actually a very normal person and you yourself actually roleplay decently, so playerwise I have no issues. But the backstory is so beatiful, it's just so amazingly generic it's like you tried to make it as generic, vanilla and boring as possible. Now don't mistake me for someone who has to be spoonfed backstory or absolute protector of snowflakes, but this backstory to me just seems like you making a character and running it through checkmarks. Family? Check War? Check Learning basic? Check NanoTrasen? Check Visa? Check We don't know so many things and many more don't even make sense. This character clearly wants to avoid fighting, alright that's a task of many people so maybe we should see how exactly he did that? Your character appears to just be living a normal life of a dumb farmer Zhan village boy, how in the hell did he avoid conscription? There is no description of him hiding, inflicting wounds on himself, dressing as a girl or just plaing old pretending to be insane (All of these things did happen in order to avoid conscription and get a blue book), no instead he works, goes to the capital, THE CAPITAL somehow avoiding every single officer, policemen or rat with zero issues. And if we're on the capital thing, we know his family is very poor, how does he get there? "Learn basic," what does that mean? Farmer's, in villages especially, would often make their children skip school so they could help on farms plus these Adolescence Tau Ceti Basic lesssons, how? Where are they getting this money? Is he using everything he makes in his waging to pay for those? How did he get accepted? Is this some kind of school or a tutor? Also "Village did not take side in a war," no, not really this is not how it works, they're under the republic control, they fight for the republic you can't say no to superiors, hell you could have described why the village is skipped over with the drafting system. Same with these "bad times" what happened? Papa got injured? Mom is sick? Timmy fell down a well? Bad times don't just magically appear, there are reasons to these things, again something you could have described, bringing us closer to the character. ALL THESE THINGS, are interesting and tell us how this character managed to survive for so long, yet you use none of them, just kinda put them there. The second part has a reason to be boring, it is boring. It's just paperwork and formalities that's why I'm glad you kept it short but again how did he find out about NanoTrasen? What drew him to NanoTrasen from other firms? Why exactly NT a completely alien company that will most likely send this dumb, poor, Zhan village boy somewhere into a galaxy far far away? On that note WHY did he learn Tau Ceti basic anyways instead of something a lot useful like agriculture, smithing, drilling, etc.? As a player, I respect you but this backstory is just lacking in descriptions and facts, this just feels like you were nervous about getting the whitelist so you made the least offensive, checklist oriented and vague backstory. So no, I don't dislike this but PLEASE elaborate.
-
Yes please THIS. This game isn't PvE (most of the time) there will be winners and there will be losers just accept that. So stop complaining about getting arrested, blowing up, being culted or simply dying. If you think it lacked RP, was ganky or plain bullshit ahelp it, we'll look into it and you can move on, screaming insults in LOOC doesn't help your case.

Character Complaint - Uwasv Guwan
Coalf replied to Snakebittenn's topic in Complaints Boards Archive
Most of these complaints boil down to "I don't like how the character is designed." instead of being a legitimate issue, but one thing Ally touched on that I have to agree on is the "fame" around Uwasv. Now the reason Uwasv has this "fame" is exactly because he wasn't acting like your normal Unathi, normal Unathi are almost always un-approchable hardasses that are extremely toxic to their enviroment this is exactly why Uwasv gathered such a following because he broke the said mold, he's the most approchable Unathi on station by a non-Unathi, non-agressive person. I've had a few talks with him and it's clear he still is a Unathi being unreasonably upset for the most trivial things and being incapable of crossing a room without making a grudge BUT he's the unathi that can go the farthest without developing said grudge, do keep in mind this is an anecdotal example but I think it fits. Just because he's more emotional doesn't mean it's a bad character. He was a Guwaned for being an orphan which is probably the most unfair way to become a guwan and since the society rejected him since his early childhood he too rejected the society, now if Uwasv became a Guwan later in life this would be in-excusable behaviour but this makes perfect sense. Of course he isn't without fault, the metacircle is an issue like I said but there is a very thin line between a metacircle and a relationship and so far I have seen ONE person taking it maybe a bit too far. Also do remember that relationships can be a oneway ship, just because one character wants to shag the other doesn't mean the other character thas the same intentions and believe me I know plenty about that. Second Elohi is a person and Uwasv really isn't the most non-unathi, unathi I have met, some didn't even put effort into it and Sid does last time I had an actual talk with him he was clearly upset he is a Guwan which is a natural response to someone who is Guwan, he resents the society that created him but ultimately still seeks affirmation of that society, much like a kid wants to be aknowledged by their dad even if their dad abandoned them. Honestly this is more of a "I don't like the way this character is designed," than a "This character ignores the lore to be a fursona." He clearly aknowledges the lore and works withing it's confines. tl;dr I spend a lot of words on saying what people before me already said. Still good work on making a character complaint, we have too many people complaining about other characters not doing anything about it besides bitching a lot, this enables Elohi to potentially fix his character if there is something wrong with him or to explain why he acts like he acts and we could all use a character complaint against us once in a while. Except me because I'm perfect. -
[AUTO-CANON] Empire of Dominia
Coalf replied to Fred104's topic in Lore Canonization Applications Archive
Ave Dominia victoria enim nostrum. Good work on fleshing out what was just a simple meme. But question, are all of those 8 Bluespace ships military ships? Wouldn't it make sense for atleast a few of them to be transport ships or maybe colony/reasearch ships? -
Something something [iNSERT MEME HERE] bla bla bla results. FIRST PLACE:Raymond Hawkins, 4 votes SECOND PLACE:Vira Bolivar, 3 votes THIRD PLACE:Anthony Kell and Yumi Yotin, 2 votes Nobody actually cares about this bullshit, you all want to see the DF DEATH MATCH BATTLES Well, Faysal won due to the fact he sat in the corner plicking at people with a crossbow and missing. After he ran out of ammo he ran up to passed out Vira and bashed her head in with a crossbow loosing his arm in the process. Yeah this uh, this one was pretty weak, nothing special. I'm done.

Well cry over it chuckle pumpkins because we are finished with the waifu contest! FIRST PLACE:NT-A 486 with staggering 15 votes! SECOND PLACE:Ashley Paynter with 8 votes! THIRD PLACE:Kalmiya with 6 votes! Now because voting is fucking BOOOOOORING I decided to have a friendly competition with all the waifus that were voted! So I decided to pit them against each other in Dwarf Fortress. Here are the highlights! MOST BLOODTHIRSTY:Curel Wald! Claiming three kills as she slowly sneaked across the ground and slit the throat of anyone who was unconcious or wounded! MOST CRUEL:NT-A 486 wins this one as this lovely synthetic decided to simply lob off limbs and leave the fighters fighting for their life, this robot could simply not be stoppped and as for finishing Hurlock she simply caved her knee in and then slashed her accross the chest leatting out all the organs for the world to see. MOST VIGUROUS:Usara Yinzr! Even with both of her limbs missing she never gave up an latched on NT-A's neck with her bare teeth! Of course she bled out later. MOST MEDIOCRE:Samiya Radka! Even though her 5 votes got her some pretty good bronze gear she was publicly shamed as Wald kicked her in the knee, took off her helmet and Hurlock proceeded to slit her throat! BIGGEST AVENGER:Abigail Hurlock! As Yurick Ali died thanks to a fiesty throat slit Hurlock went into a rampage killing Radka, Wald and lastly trying to face against NT-A, but the robot prooved to be too much for her. MOST MANLY:Yurick Ali! As some people bitched he wasn't in the Husband contest he was in the waifu contest! And he claimed two kills too! Good on you. And now for some pictures. Arena in the start: And end: Mother VS Daughter: Last kill of the match: Hope you enjoyed this slaughter as much as I did and tune in next time for the "Best Parent" poll.

HELLO MY PEOPLE Since I am an impatient little shit I decided to end the contest, TODAY Now third place was to be claimed by Uwasv Guwan, Jack Mitchell and Dylan Sutton but they all got 3 votes (Mom, Themselves and their waifu) So I decided to decide the only fair way I know. DWARF FORT FIGHTS!!! The playoff's were as follows. Dylan Sutton and Jack Mitchell were at a stalemate as they always beat each other to shit and passed out. Dylan Sutton massacred Uwasv Guwan as he broke both his legs and shattered his skull. Jack Mitchell lost to Uwasv as his artery was torn with a well placed bite. So I decided they'd fight a dragon, they all lost. At my wits end I knew who would decide, Shogun 2 the game known for it's dueling. So I set out to create a fair battle with a unit representing each person perfectly. Dylan was represented by Kyoto Police and won both times! Jack was represented by Great Guard and won once against Uwasv Uwasv was represented by spear wielding Shimazu Warrior Monks he lost two times. Now since people will bitch about unit count I decided to make a third and final decider. I analyzed their dicks. Dylan Sutton: Jack Mitchell: Uwasv Guwan: FIRST PLACE:Faysal Al-Shennawi with 7 votes! SECOND PLACE:Flaming Hearts something something with 5 votes! THIRD PLACE:Dylan Sutton with 3 votes and a 2 wins and 1 tie in play-off's. Honorable mentions: Jack Mitchell 3 votes Uwasv Guwan 3 votes Senri Ishikawa (RIP) 2 votes Avery Bell (Leo Wyatt) 2 votes Ash Lacroix (insert smug face here) 2 votes Leo Wyatt (Avery Bell) 2 votes Rob Oster 0 votes Mark Syion 0 votes I want to thank all who took part and I hope you're still tooned in because later today there will be a hunger games contest to see who takes fourth place! The site is a piece of shit and deleted my progress. Bitchin'

Ninja/stealth suit footsteps should be silent.
Coalf replied to Scheveningen's topic in Completed Projects
I agree, although you can retract your hardsuit shoes, bare feet don't produce any sound. But it would be weird as shit for a barefoot ninja to be running around, plus it slows you down. -
Honestly? I'm not feeling the backstory, it's done in a very boring cliche way to me and although you went very artsy very small portion of information was provided. Why'd he make it? Was it some kind of his perversion? Was it supposed to be a statement? Why would NT purposefully hire someone who is known to "Rank" people not according to their rank and role but according to their gender? That to me is on the same level as hiring someone who's only quirk is being racist. Why would he even release it? IPC's are very expensive from what I remember. How did he pay for it? Where did he get the money? Just who was the doctor that he managed to get 1) Education to develop an advanced intelligent algorythm that was capable of friendship and feeling ALONE, 2) Get enough experience to create an IPC body. 3) Have enough connections for NT to allow him to upload the Posi algorythm into their downloadable database. 4) Acquire enough dosh to build the robot his body. He might have been an eccentric scientist but then why is he allowed to upload a borg intelligence to NT? If he was just a genius in his field then where did he get the money? In the end, why? Tricky you're an amazing roleplayer and although I disagreed with you on multiple points regarding cult nothing is going to make me think you aren't an amazing roleplayer, but that being an amazing roleplayer isn't going to carry you through this application. You have such well developed characters, Yumi Yotin where you were capable of showing that having childhood trauma is an actual disability instead of an excuse to trigger a PTSD episode and become a rambo. Jiro who's a great old Santa character and although I haven't interacted with him that much just from those few interactions I loved them. Gizro's, Raf'lqa, Eitzashazh and others are well developed and rounded characters. So why this? It's not only bad it actually feels like a joke character placed here to test if Cake as the new lorewriter has good judgement. I actually thought this wasn't your application, I thought this was made by some 2 week newbie so much so I skipped over this THREE TIMES. You're SOOOOOO much better than this Tricky, don't deface yourself like this it's a mockery of what you can actually do and I believe you can do great things. Realize that whitelist isn't here not only to make a character, it's also here to show the lorewriter how much knowledge on the species you have and how exactly do you plan to represent them. And honestly mate this is a joke and I sincerely hope it is. I'm sorry if I sound way too harsh and I probably do, but I just can't politely say how much I'm dissapointed in this character Tricky you're better than this. -1 from me.

[Accepted]Pratepresidenten's Tajara application.
Coalf replied to Pratepresidenten's topic in Whitelist Applications Archives
Prate, prate you worthy bait so you finally did it huh? You madman. I read over the app and let me say the bad first and the pleasant later. You're not that great at prose, although your backstory has what it needs, it lacks an artists touch. Sentences are kinda plastered over each other and it's generally hard to read and not because of broken english but because of the weird phrasing, you switch perspectives often and that can be somewhat confusing. Now the good thing is I know you're an amazing Roleplayer and I've had plenty of fun with you, Sovno is a great person to have around and even though I hate borgs I hate you slightly less. Second I love your "Why do you wish to play a specific race", a lot of people think that if they put in "yeah lore wahtever" that they're going to get a free pass but you actually didn't put much about the lore and isntead explained how Tajara differ on-station, it's pretty widely know that Tajara stick together the most and I like how you described it here, to me it reminds me of actual war refugees who tend to integrate very slowly into society mostly sticking to their own kind. But your cat is not busty enough 0/10 would not bang +1 from me. -
