What's wrong with the backstory? It is short, yes, but anything else would have been forced. The character is meant to be a one-trick pony. It had its shallow fame, and now its gone and forgotten about. I really do not know what I could add. You really need to elaborate on "we said the same to a player... and the same should go for me". What should go for me? I should write a better backstory? And yes, the name us trying to stick out, it is trying to be absurd and stupid - to create a stark contrast for when you actually meet the character. I do not see how that is snowflakey, quite the opposite - I am trying to make the IPC a dissapointment, dull and beat down, far removed from his glory days. That being said, the name has received the most criticism, and I intend to change it to something equally absurd, but without the word "swag" in it. Maybe I'll lose the 9000, too. Probably.

I've played with Matt quite a bit now, and his character was well RPed, no breaking of character or anything of the like. I wasn't particularly interested in playing with him, but Matt is a new character, and I haven't really made an effort to interact with him, so that's fair. Suffice to say, Matt is definitely better than most. The backstory seems to touch on all the points of the lore, and a particularly religious skrell would be something nice to see. +1. Good luck with your app!

Coalf is one of the best RPers here - I haven't interacted much with his characters, and I know none of their backstoris, but whenever I do I think "Wow, this guy is good", and then later find out that Coalf played them. I would completely trust thia guy to allow for lots of RP as a head, as a moderator he knows what we are aiming for in this server, and I think he caught me as a ling one time about ten minutes into the round and let me off. So, all in all, great player, great RPer, great mod - this person should definitely be able to play head of staff. All my +1s.

The name is meant to be absurd and memey, to stick out - but to be honest, I was unsure of having the word "Swag" in there myself. I'll think of a better name.

BYOND Key: Superiorform Character Names: Alexander Viatorem, Jake Lawrenson, Cathryn Latham, Alex Walker, Daniel Tilton, Auntie Marian, Pacificatron, Medisave Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Faded, chipped, gold. Have you read our lore section's page on this species?:Of course. 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: You can create a lot of wildly varying characters as synthetics, because they are just that – synthetic. They may have been created for any reason, and with any strange personality. They do not have to have any semblance of “normal” about them. They could be a noire detective to a level that would be unrealistic in a human, they could be manically depressed, they could have the personality of a cowboy, they could be hopeless womanisers, they could be happy-go-lucky chipper happy things, delighted to serve. Or they could be stoic, bland, emotionless machines. I’ve been playing a lot of station-bound recently, and I’ve enjoyed the freedom in creating any character I want with them, not constrained by what is realistic for a human. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: They can’t actually feel. They can emulate emotion, but they will never be happy, or sad, or envious, or greedy. They can just seem like it. This means they can become... predictable. They may not be as nuanced as they seem. They may, in fact, just go for what is the most efficient, logical option, and completely fail to empathize with organics. Character Name: Swagtron 9000 Snazzatron Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Swagtron was custom built for a small company as a publicity stunt. A crazily happy, over-the-top robot painted in gold, broadcast over the extra-net and television. It became wildly popular, and was very well known - for about a week. Its five seconds of fame passed, the company passed into obscurity, and Swagtron was passed along. Hired on the cheap, and passed about between companies, it was bought by NanoTrasen. Forgotten about by everyone, it now works as a janitor, its faded gold paint failing to gleam at all. It sweeps the floors, longing for the limelight once again. What do you like about this character? It's a gold plated IPC called Swagtron. I do think it could be massively interesting to RP with and as, I would enjoy playing this sort of depressed robot, longing to be popular again, hoping to be remembered every time it meets someone, but in the end, resigned to just cleaning the floors. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Honestly, I think I am quite good at roleplaying now. From my own, obviously biased point of view, I create nuanced, average, but interesting characters, that take on a life of their own. I don't have to think "what would my character do?" I just know. I don't powergame or metagame, and I try to everything I can to give antags a chance. Notes: Sorry for the short backstory - I prefer to develop the backstories of my characters on the fly, as I play them, using the backstory to explain quirks that emerge in my characters as I learn about them.

I thought this suggestion had already been made. Add it to chemistry, so it doesn't seem just like pressing a button and knowing what two liquids to mix. Also add to RnD. "Cathryn Latham breaks down the nano-manipulator, analysing its contents, and guiding the computer to create a new blueprint." Also add to lawing and carding synthetics. Also add to assembling robots and mechs. Also add to... many things.

First up: the application itself. Me likey. Me likey very much. Your answer to the roleplaying question hits all the spots about believability. I like that you are not making a "Super-CMO" which I believe we see all to often now. You're answers about not fucking with RP, and especially giving antags a chance, I agree with massively. The character you have described seems fit to be a head of staff, and I would be happy to see that character on station. However, I very rarely interact with, or even see your characters. I really would like a chance to see how you roleplay before I gave a +1. I would like to see you play a character who spends more time on station before I +1. Good luck with your app!

I actually used to dislike Hawkins. He seemed bland and boring to me, but now I know how hard it can be to develop a character when he is played nearly exclusively as a captain. I have recent;y RPed with him a bit more, and I must say he is quite an interesting character. He seems like a real guy, a pretty normal guy, but he has just enough different about him to make you remember him. One of the very best characters we have on station. I also enjoy the way you play captain. All in all, a very, very, good character.

Disregarding the... questionable answer, why is a nurse cloning people? I would just like to add, Biabri seems to have an extremely laissez-faire attitude about the multitude of complaints against her. I do think she should care about it, and look at accepting these criticisms. http://prntscr.com/gdbp08

We can look in logs to see how friendly Alex was, I am not sure if he was or wasn't. Either way, threatening to kill him wasn't sensible at all. Alex was not obstructing her walk. He asked her not to be a massive bitch over comms. And being chased by security is not a good reason to attack a member of security. I mean, it doesn't even make sense. Finally, you were paroled because there was not enough medical.

Our dear Amethyst Periwinkle. The 6 foot 1 inch, purple haired, floor length braid, outright hostile nurse that constantly gets into altercations with security. I agree - occasionally getting into fights, resisting arrest, the like, all fine. But with Amy, it is constant. it is annoying. And it is, in my opinion, hard to believe this character would be employed. There are ways to play mean, or unlikable characters, and Biabri completely misses the mark. The constant slews of abuse and immaturity over comms from Amy is just annoying, not fun at all. I will now detail what happened in my worst interaction with Amy. As soon as she boarded she called us all fuckers, I forget why, then demanded peridaxon from science. My character, Alex Walker, told her to shut the fuck up. Later on, she asked science how the peridaxon was coming along, expecting them to powergame knowing chemistry when they are scientists, and when the scientists told her that no, in fact, no peridaxon was being made, she said that any deaths would be on their heads. Alex walked past her, and told her to quiet down, she was being terribly annoying. Amy then whispers to Alex a death threat. Alex says detectives can arrest if they witness crimes - but he doesn't arrest her. He gives her a second chance. Amethyst then threatens to crush his eye sockets, so Alex attempts to cuff her. She runs, and she gets chased down by some officers, cadets, and me. As I am arresting her, I think she punches my character around 10 times, and screams. All in all, a terrible, and hard to believe experience. Perhaps this would be fine if it was an isolated incident, but by the looks of this complaint, it isn't. That's my two cents.

+1. When I play captain and I want to command and advise security from afar, sipping wine while they get shot by mercs, I have to go to the bridge.

Throughout the entire thread, yacobpo157 has shown a disdain towards any crticism, called me salty when I gave no indication of being salty, and has just been generally hostile. If staff have indeed spoke to you about your security play on all these different occasions, including you blatantly cheating at the game with the implant stuff, I would be massively in favour of a security ban. Get out of security roles, where you do damage, and acclimatize to the server. There is so much dislike towards you and your character in this thread, it is unbelievable. You show no intention of wanting to change, or even any acknowledgement of wrongdoing. "I do enjoy getting a rise out of those who frequent HRP servers." That is just damning. An admission that you like to troll and grief us. I will be editing this post with more of Yacobs top ten quotes!

I'd be against this. Far too similar to malf AI and traitor, sounds rather boring to play for the crew, and adds nothing new. That being said, I would like more "support antag" roles, where they aren't directly on the station, shooting shit up. He might just be in his own ship, disrupting and killing from afar, armed with his trust e-pistol if someone finds him.

I just want to point out that while Judge could have RPed a lot more, so could have the roboticist. I've seen lings RP with mute victims, while the mute RPs shaking, being terrified, and the ling makes fun of his muteness, how easy it was because of the muteness, how horribly the mute is about to die, etc. You can still RP with mute people, but if the mute isn't RPing, and moreso, even shrugging to signify lack of caring, perhaps it's okay to eat him without further RP.

Nope. Nope. This, in my opinion, is an absolutely terrible idea. Yes. Warden/roboticist is bad. Engineer/chemist is bad. AHELP IT! We have administrators for things like that! There is nothing wrong with a character bartendering, or cargo teching, or cooking when their department is full, or the player wants a change of pace. They are, after all, unskilled jobs, and I don't want to have to jump through hoops or make new chars to play them.

BYOND Key: Superiorform Game ID: Sorry, I don't know. Various rounds. Player Byond Key: yacobpo157 Staff involved: Various staff were asked about various offenses. Reason for complaint: This is a complaint threefold. Two for definite rule breaking offenses, and one for, perhaps, IC conduct, but still exceptionally poor play. My first, and most major gripe is this: I was playing a vampire, who had declared herself overlord of the station, and had taken nearly complete control with all my thralls. Jacob Stover was one of those thralls. With the excuse that I had not given him any orders, and he was free to do as he wanted he loyalty implanted himself to unthrall himself. This is straight up ignoring the bold text that tells you you have no free will - you exist solely to serve your vampire master. That is all you are there for. Why would you deliberately remove yourself from service? He then helped the HoS kill me. I don't believe this needs any more elaboration. I only make this complaint now, because I was not aware of this transgression at the time. Gripe the second: This time, I was playing the ninja. Early into the round, I had taken the research director hostage. Jacob Stover is pushing for security to just attack me, and shoot the hostage... after all, we can just clone her anyway, right, guys? Later on in the round, I had taken the HoP hostage. Against direct orders from the HoP, and threats of cyborgification for murder, he shoots at me with slugs, inevitably hitting the HoP square in the chest. After all, we can just clone him. His actions resulted in my throwing the HoP into space. So, we now have three counts of not just validhunty actions, but those that concretely break definite rules. The third problem could be passed off as IC misconduct, but I am putting it in anyway, as it is just an extra example of more terrible play. Jacob Stover often ignores my orders as head of staff, saying I do not have authority over him. Obviously, all heads of staff do have authority over all departmental staff. [mention]driecg36[/mention] and [mention]Azande[/mention] have witnessed these events in game. Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? I ahelped the events of the second paragraph at the time they happened. I don't believe anything came of it. Approximate Date/Time: I really am not sure, sorry. Maybe 19/08 - 20/08?

I can see this just leading to overpowered antags, and people not trusting the only two loyalty implanted people we ever have on station. I am thoroughly opposed to this idea.

Sorry xander when you originally came to me about this i reckoned it sounded like a suggestion. Exactly where this thread is put is not super important though as the message is still the same. I am most partial to this idea though. I think arrest warrants are pretty important and they have gotten a lot less cumbersome now that we have a holo warrant projector. I think security is a department that needs communication greater than any other department. Warrants force a little of that communication since even OOC i am interested in security being able to prove a thing happened. Warrants add another layer of protection against problematic security play and i think it will help enforce a more healthier way to play. Obviously nobody expects a warrant if you witness the crime. Another Question comes to mind, does the AI count as a Sec Officer if they witness a crime? No, but if its laws are intact, the AI as a witness is very very strong evidence of a crime.

I don't have much to say on Summers, but she seems very competent. I very much like Shen - a complete departure from Stamos. I had no idea you played Shen, and I'd like to see more of her. She seems a lot less didactic and aggressive, and you have demonstrated a good knowledge of protocol and regulations with her.

Hi Butte

What about those that hate certain round types, like cult, merc, or extended? I know that I hate playing on extended rounds, and always leave when extended is voted in. I would hate joining into more extended rounds and playing for the full two hours when, if I knew that it was extended, I wouldn't have played.
