I'll be taking over this Staff Complaint, After much discussion with the other staff team we have come to the conclusion that you were banned for not ERPing with us. Thus Staff Complaint will be ignored bc adminbus

Its been a month, i'm pretty sure this isn't going to get edited. Locking and archiving.

Ckey/BYOND Username: Toasterstrudes Position Being Applied For (coder, mapper, spriter): Wiki Maintainer Past Experiences/Knowledge: I've been around for a while, got some knowledge that I can share via the wiki if needed. Examples of Past Work: Recently made a guide on newmap SM, working on a guide for the Tesla Engine now. (Link to newmap guide -> https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=8510) Preferred Mode of Communication (Skype, Steam, etc.): Anything really, probably Discord Additional Comments: Engineering is the department where I specialize, so if anything is needed revamped in there, I got knowledge on everything from Atmos to the Engines.

Hi there, I'm your friendly Engineering robot main, coming here to talk to you 'New to Engineering'-ers, and 'Nitrogen is good'-ers to help you learn newmap. (As a note, the gifs will be inside of the spoilers) Yes, you can run Nitrogen engines, and they're alright, but in reality there's not much room for any mistakes with a nitrogen engine. Nitrogen engines generally run pretty warm, and 1-2 'extra' shots into the engine might actually cause it to explode. Time-in and time-out I've joined rounds after a nitrogen engine has been set, and have seen engineers panic to try and cool it because it’s heating up like crazy. I will not lie, there's been times where I've joined, asked what the engine setup is, found that it is a Nitrogen setup, and have went straight to Cryo. The engine setup itself is fine, but requires a lot of constant-monitoring and many times aren't executed correctly, so me and some others have decided to draw up the normal setup that most Engineers use today. To begin, i’ll go over some basic need-to-knows. An Inventory of what you will need Insulated Gloves A Multi-tool Three Canisters of Phoron One Empty Canister ABSOLUTELY no Nitrogen Setting up the Engine Now that you have the things that are needed, you are ready to set up the engine! Firstly, you’re going to want to add one Can of Phoron in the ‘Hot Loop’ (Color is blue, it is called the hot loop because it is the gas that directly meets the engine) You are also going to want to put two Cans of Phoron into the ‘Cold Loop’ (Pipe color is green, it is called the cold loop because it is the gasses that will be cooling.) You are going to want to turn on both of the pumps that are connected to the ports, and set them to max so they will draw from the cans. You should go south, over to the cool loops pump is, you are going to want to set that to max as well, and turn it on. Next, you should head all the way north to Waste handling, There’s going to be two filters there, you are going to want to change the settings from Nitrogen to Phoron, and turn them on. After that, you will want to head past the blast doors into the waste handling room, this is where you are going to want to put your Empty Canister onto the port, and enable the Waste pump (Setting it to max like the other pumps, and turning it on) After that, all you have left is putting some shots into the Engine. Usually the amount of shots that are put into a 1-2 Phoron engine is around 25, but because the engine is using phoron, it absorbs a lot of heat, so it’s fine if it’s a little more or a little less, you’re still going to get good power output. (Just be in the ballpark of around 25 shots.) Finally you’re done with the engine, next you should move onto upgrading the SMES. Upgrading the Main SMES Upgrading the SMES is pretty simple, First you open the SMES menu Set the input to ‘Offline’ so it doesn’t charge Next you should set the output to max so it discharges faster (Optionally you can turn on Substations so it drains even faster, but only do that if you know what you’re doing, I’m not going to go over that in this guide.) (When SMES is drained to 0%) Disable output, and place 1 Transmission Coil and one Capacitance Coil into the SMES Screwdriver the SMES closed Set the input and output to ~1000000W (~1.0MW) As a side note, as long as the input and output is around 1.0MWs, it should be fine, you shouldn’t go under that number, but as a warning, the more you put in the grid, the more damage shocking does to people without insulated gloves from numerous different things (I.E Hacking doors, touching live wires, etc.) CONGRATS, YOU’RE DONE. SOON TO COME, GUIDE TO THE TESLA ENGINE! Side note thank you to the god LOHIKAR, for making sure this think was at least somewhat literate, praise be onto him.

Next map should be a Exodus revamp New old newmap

Nice necro

Hi, yes, as much as I like reading drama and fighting, can we all please just calm down for like, 3 seconds. edit: Actually with that request, yes i'll lock it, its just a endless back-and-forth drama fest. plz no.

Out of the two items, I feel the Antenna will bring the most RP. I would think IPCs would be mod-able, able to take on different parts as such, I can see a few situations where people would question why they have an Antenna and what its uses are for. AS for the beret, I was waiting for the person I RP a lot with as M.A.K.E to respond and give me the go ahead (Which I recieved!). The beret would be a birthday/creationday/whateveryoucallanIPCsbirthday gift, and as such, if it was ever brought up icly, they could respond stating that it was a gift to them by their owner/etc.

BYOND Key: Toasterstrudes Character name: M.A.K.E, Every other robot with with the name 'K.E' in it probably, some lizard that no one ever pays attention to, and a cat IAA that Alberyks cat is secretly trying to steal. Item name: Tan Engineering Beret & An Antenna Why is your character carrying said item to work? They would be wearing the Beret because fashion is key, as for the Antenna, its attached to their head, and has some practicality. Item function(s): The Beret is a hat, and is to be worn on their head, doesn't have much functions other than that. The Antenna on the other hand would be used as a radio modkit (As suggested by Lohikar), or alternativly just a radio without an encrypted key, which can just be taken out of the original radio and slid into the slot of the Antenna, either works for me. Item description: Tan Engineering Beret: A Engineering beret that appears to have been modified to look Tan, with an Orange patch sewn into the middle of it. Antenna: An antenna attachment that can be screwed into the side of an IPC's head. It looks to have radio functions. Item appearance: Beret (alone), Antenna (alone), Beret, Antenna (combined) How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? It'll add some addition flavor to some situations, be it talking about the Beret or talking about the Antenna, Additional comments: I have the DMI's if needed.

I've had some overall good experiences with Evandorf's character Nia. The application, like they said, is a bit cookie-cutter, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing at all. I feel most of the points expected to be touched upon in this sort of species app have well been touched upon. I feel it is a bit 'short' as an application comes, but concise may be a better term to use in this case, it sticks to the point and doesn't really stray, which is wonderful. Evandorf is already a whitelisted player, so with this and the interaction that I've had with them, I have no doubt that they will be able to uphold the expectations of a Unathi Whitelist. +1

I'll throw my few cents in here aswell. Being rude to another staff memeber probably isn't going to help your case, the reason for unban requests being open for everyone to see is because people are meant to come here if they have something they feel should be addressed. If we wished to prevent people from responding with their statements we would make them a closed thing. I also have to agree with Schev on this one Makes no sense in this situation. To add to the 'raging' part in addition to the whole situation that caused you to 'rage', you do understand this is a heavy roleplay server correct? You really shouldn't just be playing to try and win as an antag, antags are mostly to make the round interesting, roleplay and all, just up and shooting someone who is trying to talk to you is a pretty crappy thing to do, as like the other said, it ruins the round for both of you. I know my opinion probably doesn't mean much, and the decision is ultimately up to Alberyk if he wishes to unban you. If you are unbanned, please just keep this in mind, you don't need to type in caps in deadchat just because your angry, in all honesty its just ignored and gets you nowhere.

Edit: Due to all the complaints I had being resolved, i'll go ahead and give this a +1

Yep, please edit it to fit in the correct format though or it will likely be binned. Even if it is veing reopened, it needs to follow the same format.

Just an FYI -This is the 'Ban Request' forum, not the Unban -You gotta follow the format bud. (Heres a link to the format https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=15)

Agreed

Bad list, M.A.K.E or myself are not on here at all. 0/10

I'll give my few cents on this. The few months of Delta being on staff, I havn't ever really seen them ever be biased. Yes, Delta can be agressive and wordy at times, but it works a lot of the time. He doesn't single people out, he does it to everyone he speaks to, heck he's done it to me aswell! Delta really isn't trying to be biased, I have never really seen him single anyone out like you are stating.

I enjoy this application overall, but I noticed a few different small things that may be wrong with it. To start out with what I like, i'm glad to see more and more people start roleplaying IPC's in a more "You know what, imma robot, not a human in a robot suit". Though I don't hate people who like to play a more organic feeling IPC, its a real nice change of pace! Onto the only flaws I can really see. The application is a little short, but thats not always a bad thing. I am not 100% sure, but from what i've read about most of the corporate lore, Nanotrasen never really tried to build synthetics, they were much more focused on their new-found discovery of Phoron and blue-space travel. Usually in those types of situations its best to try changing the lore of major corporations, and instead just create a small company of your own. (Though, it isn't completely unbelieveable, as it never really states Nanotrasen completely refused to build synthetics.) Overall, from me this is a +1. I am more than happy to indoctornate have more people in the synthetic master race playerbase.

Hey there, I'll be in charge of your interview! I'll be contacting you here shortly.

BYOND Key: Toasterstrudes Character Names: All of the robots that have 'K.E' in it (I.E M.A.K.E, K.E.L.T, Etc.), Karlan Sel'ler, some other unathi's that no one knows. Species you are applying to play: Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Blue Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Of course not Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race: Well, I have been trying to get all of the whitelists i'm able to. I enjoy the Skrell, and though 'Hey, why not". I main a IPC so I felt maybe I should play on something on the other end of the spectrum, one that is inherently 'Anti-Synthetic' due to their history. I don't have much other reasoning. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Skrell are actually one of the first races to meet the humans, so though they are different, they have some similarities. One of the differences being that their speech pattern is much more direct, and doesn't have much 'flavor' so to speak. They have a much more formal attitude, and act more professional in a lot of cases. Character Name: Qub'wurb Wuq'rur Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Most Skrell strive to be the best they can, be it in the medical field creating the top of the line medicine, or in the engineering field. In a knife drawer full of sharp knives, there's always the dull knife. Qub'wurb always had strive to be more in life, but both on a mental level as well as 'worth-ethic', they fell short when compared to the others of his home. Through their education, they were ridiculed by their peers, alas this did not stop them from trying. Years and years passed by, and it the ridicule turned into pity. A Skrell who wasn't intelligent, who wasn't the top, there was nothing for them really to do, and no-where really to go. Thankfully, someone needs to clean up the mess of all those top scientists. Starting their career of being a Custodial Engineer, they came to their job on-time with the will of 100 janitorial Skrells. They were excited to do their job. Though their job was menial, they work as if their life depended on it. After years of illustrious work, they decided they would look for work off of Jargon, they applied for citizenship in Beisel. Upon recieveing their citizenship, they set their sights for Nanotrasen. They looked to become a Janitor, excited to clean aboard such prestigious research stations. Being sheltered from almost anything outside of Jargon, this would be an experience of a lifetime for them. The idea of being able to clean for different species and different 'top of the line' Nanotrasen scientists would spark fire in Qub'wurb. What do you like about this character? I havn't see a Skrell Janitor, people have been missing out on the no-slip powergaming abilities. I think it would be a nice change of pace seeing as most of the Skrell playerbase places scientists or other higher-up positions. How would you rate your role-playing ability? 8/10 Notes: Jackboob

Don't do that, i'll lose karma :^(

I'm going to have to give you a -1, The backstory here is a bit too dark for my taste. I feel maybe you should lighten up a bit with your character design, maybe replace evil overlay with a 'Hugbox generator'? Thats the only way I can see it approachable. Onto the other problems I have, the grammar. Its too complicated for me to read, because I am illiterate, please make it readable for everyone, because that's insensitive. please fix these problems or i'm going to have to keep this as a -1.
