So, the guns are kinda boring and are just named after what their ammo is, or their function (ion rifle), rather than a brand. I suggest the following changes (as to be corrected/modified by le lore): Ion Rifle = Halycon Ion Rifle Laser Rifle = Artemis Assault Carbine Energy Carbine = Artemis Utility Carbine Energy Gun = EBD Taser (Energy Beam Discharge) .45 Handgun = NT-98 Handgun Taser = ESD Taser (Energy Sphere Discharge) Shotguns = Stays the same All other non-standard guns would remain the same. I'm not that good with names so if people have other suggestions plz comment.

The shift is three hours. Nobody is entitled to a break unless their Head of Staff gives it to them. No thanks.

1. You just reshared shit that was already included in the OP. 2. The charge I applied was slander of a head of staff, I am not saying that here because I have no desire to waste time on this complaint so the extra five words after slander are pointless to me. 3. Calling CCIA isn't a thing, you don't just call CCIA to your station, you address concerns to the Captain and if they refuse to work with you on them, THEN you fax CC for a resolution, you don't call Agents to take control of the facility, that is not their job. LYING to CCIA is especially heinous. 4. Security was dealing with dead bodies slowly cropping up, as an administrator, I can handle things administratively, I was not wishing to CHARGE the Janitor with misuse of communications - I filed an injunction, which only MYSELF or the HEAD OF SECURITY can actually sign, and considering the Head of Security was mostly busy, I just wrote it out myself, called him in and handed it to him, I never TOOK his headset, please get your facts straight. 5. A detective hiding any wanted criminal for any infractions regardless of severity with no intention to escort that person to the processing area, is concealment of a criminal. Security are not above regulations. 6. Stop bringing up the Head of Security, her and I chatted in game, she apologized, I apologized, we agreed overall I was in the right. 7. To explain my 'Agent of Regulation' comment. The Captain's role is one not above corporate regulations, but not below it either. In all manners, the Captain is an agent of regulation by embodying the goals of NanoTrasen on board, and this is why they are given the ultimate authority on their station, as well as the written ability to skirt the line of regulations in non-standard situations. As well, the Captain cannot be charged under corporate regulations unless Station Command holds a majority vote. This in no way says the Captain is above regulations, but rather that the Captain uses regulations to ensure NanoTrasen's goals are met. The Head of Security was told to remember her place because it was not warranted for her to make the comment that she had, which is something she apologized for and admitted she did wrong due to a miscommunication. 8. This was a heavily unorthodox situation, I never ordered the ERT, or tried to boss them around, I got rude and emotional with them because they were holding a station captain captive without hearing my side about a mutiny. I did not mean to hang myself, it was meant to be a joke and I did not know that noose-mechanics didn't give you the chance to jump from your chair or not. Eleanor's reasoning however, for killing herself since the mechanics betrayed me, is that her life was over and she could no longer serve NanoTrasen and thus served no purpose existing. She was going to be fired due to a botched investigation into a mutiny, due to the law never be able to work for another megacorporation again, and probably get kidnapped by a syndicate cell for corporate intel at some point, there was no reason for her to live because she had dedicated her entire life since an internship at seventeen, to the NT Corporation. And now I'd like to re-emphasize something very important: Administrative or Executive Punishments The Internal Security Department is charged with enforcing Corporate Regulations and balancing this enforcement with the maintenance of productivity and asset-safety (both station and crew). The Station Command Department is charged with the oversight, management and administration of a NanoTrasen facility. As the head of station command, the Captain is the 'Chief Executive' of the facility in normal circumstances unless the chain of command is altered by an emergency (ERT) or Central Command (CCIA). In this capacity as oversight, Station Command can and should engage in administrative punishments parallel and separate from Internal Security punishments. Examples of this include: ordering anger management with the psychiatrist, restriction of existing access, demotion, suspension, reassignment, injunctions (HoS/Capt only) and so on. Station Command's ability to carry out administrative action is distinct from Internal Security, and does not require an infraction to occur or be pressed to genuinely take action. In this way, calling someone down to my office to talk with them about why calling everyone 'retards' is not okay and handing them injunction is absolutely within my role as Captain, considering his Head of Staff completely ignored the issue. This seems to be a place where many people get caught up, so I don't blame any of you. Lots of people think and even say "You can't demote me, I haven't broken regulations!" but it's two separate punishments, from two separate bodies. So when I provide someone an injunction for something, it in no way restricts Internal Security's own ability to act on the situation, they did not WANT to act on the situation, or they would have. It is not Internal Security's job to enforce administrative punishments unless expressly invited to do so. This includes things like bringing the HoP ID's of too-be demoted individuals upon their request - the Head of Personnel is completely able to enter the brig to get an ID, but the Internal Security staff are expected to act when asked. -

I said I was not going to respond to anyone, but I feel like I can respond properly to this. Eleanor Shen, my only current Captain character, is the Captain. She does prioritize her life over others, she does not put other people first safety-wise. This is because she has access to a nuclear bomb and various other things that nobody else has business accessing 90% of the time. Heads of Staff do have a place, which is below the Captain, they can have and share opinions, there is a proper way to share them. As for sticking my nose into things, this does not happen with basically anyone except Security, and that is only due to a recent lack of quality in Heads of Security. I usually give express freedom to department heads to supervise their owns departments as long as they are able to keep their own staff in check To quickly address your point about the headset, no. You do not need to give anyone a miscommunication charge or remove them from the round for any period of time, Heads of Staff and ESPECIALLY the Captain have administrative power they can use to punish individuals that does not need to be aligned with a corporate regulation punishment. This is why if a janitor punches someone, I can still demote them despite 'demotion' not being under additional punishments. I as a person have always preferred administrative action over brigging people. The reason I 'played' security officer in the round with you was entirely OOC coming into IC admittedly, you were trying to cryo to avoid slander charges on your record OOCly, and I was not okay with this. that is why I took your ID from you. As well while we're on this point - you did not 'turn yourself in' to the Detective. At all. He had no intention to listen to the Warden calling for you to come to processing, and he had no business questioning the decision of the Head of Security and Captain to file a warrant on you. He was concealing you from the easy access of officers or other security and thus, aiding you. End of story. It is entirely my opinion, that your behaviour was indeed seditious, but that is not the charge you were applied with, and your warrant was changed to reflect this. You can share what your security incidents say, because there is not a sedition charge on them. The reason I believe your behaviour was seditious is because you outright tried to subvert the chain of command without using on-board resources to address the concern, which was such and incredibly minor concern it'd be better off as an incident report anyways. -

This all started over a headset, a headset of someone calling multiple people, not just the merchant, 'retards', and a miscommunication comment from the Detective which implied he would arrest me for using my authority lawfully to restrict headset access (which he did not me). On that note, no further responses will be given from me, to the OP, DasFox or others, until an Administrator provides a statement requesting any clarifications. -

Hi! Your complaint is utter crud (edited to be more polite), here's why! A janitor called 2-4 people 'retards' and was referring to an IPC as 'Boxhead' over the public channel. Conveniently, you've redacted ALL of the common logs from your screenshots and haven't included any of them. Good work! Onward. My captain told them if they continued, their headset would be removed and thrown into the crusher, and that such behaviour wouldn't be tolerated. Detectives makes a comment towards the same Janitor, but it sounds as if it is in reference to what I just said, so I think they've threatened to arrest me for doing something within my authority. I remind them in bold that they are speaking to their Captain. Ashley Jaeger and the HoS speak up to say I am not above regulations: BUT AT NO POINT DID I EVER SAY THAT, I WAS SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO AN IMPLICATION THAT I WOULD BE DETAINED FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY WITHIN MY AUTHORITY. The Captain CAN take someone's headset away if they're being an idiot with it, BUT, the Detective wasn't even REFERRING TO ME, which was cleared up before Jaeger's and Olivia HoS' comments. Now, round progresses a bit, the Head of Security comes in and we chat. Suddenly, Yasmin the Cat's fax that she secretly sent (without consult any fellow head of staff) gets a response, when I read the response, I demand to see what she sent and I take it from her filing cabinet. Let me address her fax. 1. I never ever ever ever ever EVER ever EVER EVER EVER ever said I was God, that I was not subject to regulations, or threatened to fire the IPC Detective 'Booker', this was a MISCOMMUNICATION. His statement implied (IF IT WAS DIRECTED AT ME, WHICH I THOUGHT) that the Detective would engage in arrest on a Captain (arrests against captain can only be made if station command agree) for removing a crew member's headset. This was the situation, it was CLEARED. UP. 2. The Head of Personnel never contacted me, or the Head of Security, to resolve this. She never said a word to me about solving this or asking to be involved in the resolution, I honestly forgot she existed because Yasmin is usually quiet and doesn't leave the office. 3. It is inappropriate for a head of staff to ignore their IC/OOC responsibility to try and resolve these issues on board, she completely forgoed any attempt to resolve it by asking CCIA to get involved. Now, to address what happened after. I originally ordered the charge to be sedition, this was an ACCIDENT. The original thing that came to mind was slander, but I confused the two words, I couldn't void an order to all of security, so when I got the chance, I had the HoS have the Warden change the charge to SLANDER. SLANDER, not sedition. The Detective was holding the Head of Personnel in his office as a friend, they were talking, the Warden was requesting many times that Yasmin report to the brig, the Detective knows that no other security aside from the Detective could access his office, he was aiding and abbeding a wanted individual. He then accuses me of not managing a security crisis: i.e., the bodies that are piling up from antags. Funnily enough, this brings up his own shortcoming - as Captain, I was staying in the bridge, I changed the alerts when asked, and was actively communicating with Olivia, who was confirming with me how she would address these murders, I should NOT HAVE TO GET DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN A SECURITY SITUATION. However, the Detective was too busy playing host to the HoP criminal, to investigate the murders. At no point did I authorize a warrant or ORDER the arrest of the Detective. Yasmin decided to try and avoid getting an incident on her security records by being sneaky and running to cryo, I was not okay with this, so I made her give me her ID. Now I get to address the Chapman issue. KNOWING FULL WELL that Yasmin was rushing to cryo, I booked it to the processing console and filed the charged through it myself, this was because the WARDEN was busy preparing arms for people, and officers were responding to the *quintuple homicide* that had happened. The charges I applied were: Resisting arrest, Slander of a Head of Staff, NOT sedition. There is NOTHING that says the Captain cannot do X in a situation where all the other staff are busy doing something. You have also, of course conveniently for you, left out the fax WE sent to CCIA, we being myself and the HoS who both SIGNED this statement of facts which explains the entire situation, it is here: I have half a mind to file a complaint against DasFox for such irresponsible actions taken as a Head of Staff player. This was the result of them neglecting basic principles when addressing misgivings with any supervisor, assuming a WHOLE lot of shit they knew nothing about, and sending a bogus report to Central Command about it without any witnessing signatures. The only other head of staff on board (CE was in cryo) agreed with me on everything in the end. So really, this entirely complaint is baseless. -

Add a simple mob CCIA Intern or Security Cadet that says random pieces of text every now and then such as: "Enjoy your shift!" "Glory to NanoTrasen!" "Work hard and work well!" "Enjoy your flight!" This would make the desk look like it has a purpose. Basically, a mob that is immortal and just sits there randomly talking every now and then, or when someone comes into their view.

let this die. HoP has no business in security at all. AT. ALL. IAA serves this purpose, we don't need lawyers.

I'll also point out you can go through my entire conversation history with Jackboot, and only recently have I outright called him a bad lore person, and in our PMs, our conversations have always been mostly cordial, as far back as I have read. Here are some random examples of Jackboot refusing to have lore (or his own character) questioned: http://puu.sh/yqLHl/0f222b6a62.png http://puu.sh/yqLPh/548a42a2c5.png http://puu.sh/yqLPj/566f7bb37f.png http://puu.sh/yqLRD/2d40c2c34d.png

Saying the lore is bad, retarded, shit should not be bannable. I agree with Bokaza in a few areas. There are parts of the lore that make no sense and does not give players on server anything to interact with in game, time would be much better spent focusing on game-affecting lore, rather than silly fluff six systems away. Saying you are a shit manager that needs to be replaced, is also not something to complain about. People are allowed to dislike you, people are allowed to hate you, and yes - even go so far as saying that your conduct as a staff member is shit. Skull himself has called me a 'fucking idiot' many times, in OOC, in DSAY, and perhaps even in discord once or twice - in a serious manner. People would be less inclined to insult you if you stopped blocking them and listened to their concerns about the lore they don't like, instead of thinking your lore is perfect.

Hi. Recently, we've had a lot of 'policy' related suggestions, and each time, Skull goes 'REEEE' and tags our lovely Head Admins or relevant team leader. As this area's main section was intended originally for code/forum suggestions, I wish to suggest something that our lovely roleplaying cousin, Baystation13, has on their forums. This is, 'Policy Discussion', which serves as a place for staff and community members to discuss policy and push forward suggestions for revisions. This would keep our lovely suggestion forum organized and clean and not require [Policy] tags.

CCIA > Outdated in progress wiki. When the wiki and CCIA are in conflict, default to CCIA as they are the ones that can fire you. As Warden, it is important to express to the crew at the start of the round that any orders you give are to be taken as requests, and that you will be providing camera sight on areas where calls come from, so to heed your word if you give an advisement. At no point should you get mad at someone for not listening to you, they are not obligated to. Personally, the Warden to me as an Officer and Captain player, is someone I don't mind giving direction to Security. If there is no Head of Security or Captain, the Warden is the only onboard personnel able to sign off on weapon distribution, and is the only person able to grant parole/early release and interpret regulations during a brigging and application of charges. Because of this, when I Captain, I usually just give the Warden the authority to issue commands, but not make them Interim HoS. I was also the (ex)CCIA that lobbied for the Warden to be able to sign off on warrants,

To correct you to avoid misinterpretations. The Warden has *authority over the brig. The Head of Security has penultimate authority over the brig, and the Captain has ultimate authority over the brig. At no point can the Warden override Station Command staff,

Medical Examiners wouldnt handle the autopsy anyways probably. They'd do the 'coroner's report'

After playing Detective for a bit, I don't think they need a re-merge, I genuinely enjoyed working as detective, interviewing, connecting dots and such.

Ornias did a good job of summarizing my points but did so nicer. Not everyone deserves to be spoken to nicely. Tough love is important. Address those concerns and build yourself a character worthy of having custom items to reinforce their backstory.

1. He job hops, always has and continues to do so, and has shoddy records (if any at all now) 2. He regularly is rude to his supervisors, including IAA (outright insulting IAAs for no reason) 3. He ALWAYS wears his sterile gloves, and surgery apron and scrubs EVERYWHERE. When he's eating, when he's at the bar, walking in the hall, the holodeck, he NEVER takes them off, AND he wears a cowboy hat the entire time too, it's ridiculous at this point. 4. No.

We do not need a medical examiner title. The CSI handles autopsy reports, any surgeon can do a coroner report, as could the CSI. Snowflakes begone.

[Resolved] Character Complaint - Warden Declan Woodward
Azande replied to UnknownMurder's topic in Complaints Boards Archive
Security cannot search/arrest you without a warrant in code green without a warrant unless they have directly witnessed a crime, you could file an IR for this round. Anyways, Declan is always out of Security, it is one of the most irritating things to deal with as both as Head of Security and Captain - because he ALWAYS responds to calls, in code green, blue and RED, he responds to calls and leaves the brig without permission. It is OKAY to leave the brig sometimes as Warden, but never if you have prisoners, and never excessively. Declan does both of these. I'm also fairly sure that Declan was the Warden once when a prisoner hung themselves and died because he was not paying attention and didn't even know a prisoner was brought in. -
I kinda support IAA IPCs, but IAAs are paid a lot and have a special place in NanoTrasen. As well, you need to be able to feel emotion to be able to connect with employees if you want to make them feel comfortable spilling their darkest secrets to you. If IPCs became IAA-permitted, I'd suggest requiring them to be shells, as nobody is going to want to file a complaint through a box-head IPC.
