nanotoxin

There's no rules or regulations stated anywhere either for or agaisnt it is what I'm saying.

Now, I've had a lot of run in with this topic ICly, but have never gotten a reason as to why it is or isn't allowed. Some people say it's mis-use of public communications, but the definition of that charge is "To continually broadcast unimportant, untrue, or insignificant messages on the public radio frequency." and the notes state "This is really only for people who are constantly spamming the radio, such as 'DJs' or Chaplains reading their services over the comms. Screaming fake messages like "halp security is beating me" when they aren't also counts." It doesn't say anything as to why Xeno's can't speak their languages over the radio, and as long as it's work related, I don't see why there's that big of a fuss about it. Obviously syntehtics are able to translate, so if it was counter productive, then they'd be able to notify the proper people and get that fixed up. But as it stands, I see no reason ICly for them not to do so.

I mean I'd rather not. Mostly because it's up to them, I'm not gonna force them into it. Our group also has grown pretty close, we'll take new people in, but I don't think we want to over do it. We're a little family

I have a skype chat with 23 aurorians, and that's already like 1100+ messages an day, a global ss13 group though, it's madness.

BYOND Key:Nanotoxin Character Names:Ryu'daken Mo'taki, SAM, Nick Straughan, Chaos Baylock How long have you been playing on Aurora:I've been on aurora since last september Species you are applying to play:Dionaea What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Have you read our lore section's page on this species?:Sure have 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:I'd like to play this race because I feel like I have already done all I can with the previous races I have, and would like to be challenged agin. I've played the upsetti spaghetti Tajara, the asperges IPC, and a bunch of different humans. I'd like to play a curious tree man. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:They're always on a quest for knowledge, no one answer will satisfy them. "This is the answer, well why is it the answer?". A never ending quest for knowledge. They also have the fear that the lights could go out at anytime, no other species can die at such a simple cause. Character Name:(I honestly can't think of one that isn't edge to the max, if someone could help me based off the story, it'd be appreciated) Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs They were only able to see through the cracks of his wooden container. It was dark and they had felt weak, unable to move, barely able to think. Why were they contained in here? The neon sign on the wall spelled out XTech Robotics INC. What does that mean? They heard an uproar of humans, shouting, screaming. There were car alarms, glass smashing, sirens. It was too much for them. Why was it so loud? They were just a nymph. "We're hard working people! You can't just fire us all!" What was going to happen to the people? Suddenly, their crate jolted, being dropped on the ground. The sound of a door closing echoed, all was silent. Their crate started to crack from the top, a crow bar ripping it open. The rush of light had washed over them. They soaked it all in, enjoy what they had once been deprived on. Why does this feel so good? Human hands had worked their way under him, picking him out of the container, jerking him back to reality. They had looked up but were unable to identify their captor. Why were they covering their face? What were they hiding? They had walked a considerable distance, through numerous halls, walking through many door ways. Where were they going? They had stopped infront of a green striped door. Why did they stop at this door? What was behind this door? A loud buzzing followed by the opening of the striped door brought them back from their thought. "Which one?" they heard, "Uhh, number 270 just opened up, that one's good to go." What was good to go? What was in 270? They heard the hiss of a glass door opening. Looking to the sound, they saw a small room with a red light above, and a monitor in the wall. Next to the room were more smaller rooms, each with nymphs that looked just like him. Who are they? He was violently tossed into the room and the glass door hissed once more. The red light felt odd. What is this foor? Why are they here? Suddenly the monitor blinked on. A feminine voice emitted from the speaker as a picture of a factory panned across the screen. "Here at EXTech robotics incorporated, we discourage free thought!" The voice sounded soothing to them. Why did they discourage fr--. The light had gone out and they had begun to feel weak. They tried to move to the glass to get some light, but they were too weak. The monitor then repeated, in the soothing tone, "Here at XTech robotics incorporated, we discourage free thought!" They had been working on the assmbley line since the moment they had fully grown, creating IPC chassis', Ai frames, mmi's, as well as cyborg chassis. They were working for almost no credits, and almost working themselves to death. The machine infront of them would buzz. They would hit a button. A piece of metal would fall from a tube. They would flip their mask down, and use a plasma cutter to cut the frame they needed for the day. A masked human would come by and ask how they were doing. "Here at XTech robotics incorporated we discourage free thought..." was all they were able to croak out. The human replied with a quick, "Excellent!", a breif jot on his clip board and moved on. There were others around him. A full factory of Dionaea. They weren't allowed to see or converse with the others, incase it sparked any individual thought. They worked 15 hours a day, stopping only to rest. A boom. They heard a boom. It was a jammed machine. They hit the jammed button on their console. There was another boom. They hit the jammed button once more. Nobody was coming. A third boom. This one was louder, and was followed by a lot of shouting. They continued to press the jam button as they were instructed to do when any weird noises were heard coming from the machine. Bangs. Lots of loud quick bangs, mixed with the shouting. They pressed the button faster and more vigorously. A masked human appeared in front of him. This wasn't the normal masked human they were used to. This one was in all black. It's helmet was hard and has a glass mask. "You're okay now! Come with me!" they had shouted from behind their mask. They weren't prepared for a situation like this. "Here at XTech robotics incorporated we discourage free thought..." was all They could do. The masked human grabbed their appendage, dragging them towards the exit. There lied dead humans on the ground. A big hole in the wall. More humans masked in black rushed in. Other Dionaea were being rushed out into a big van. The officers sat Them down in the van with other Dionaea. A human, not masked, sat in the front. The doors had shut behind Them as They sat down. The man at the front of the vehicle had turned around, using the passenger seat for suppot. "You are all safe now. You are all going to be alright." "Do we really want to work with robotics again? Yes, of course, that's what we know. Well we could always learn new things in a different department? What? No? They wont hire new people. They want expirenced workers. Ah yes, of course of course." They had said, leaning over a recruitment stand. The human and Tajara behind the desks, wearing yellow and black jumpsuits, topped with a beret, had given each other confused looks as They spoke. "Okay, They're done. No wait, They need to fill out the back side. There is no back side. Did They check? Yes. They made sure. Well it can't hurt for Them to double check. Well They don't want to waste the recuiters time. That's true." The black tajara gave the paper a quick gander, giving the occasional "mhm." "Everrrrything is in orrrderrr he thinks. If they walk overrr therrre, they'll be set to begin worrrrking." he said, motioning towards a large white shuttle. What do you like about this character?That they have had such a deprivation of knowledge, that it's all that it wants. It hardly knows anything. It will always be growing and learning. Also, There are three different entities that speak through them. An optimistic side, a pessimistic side, and more of a leader-ish side, if that makes sense. How would you rate your role-playing ability?I'd say about 7/8. I know I'm not the worst, but I know I can definitley use improvement. Notes:

Oh sorry about that then. I'll fix my reply.

I had thought this was you accusing Nursie of metagrudging, if I was mistaken my bad, but I'm not sure what it's referrencing to if not Nursie, if you wouldn't mind explaining it.

Yes metafriending/grudging are real things, hell I'm a little guilty of both, but I wanted to make it clear that I was fairly certain that that wasn't the case. I've only ever seen Nurise's hostility in their character. They're just a normal person OOCly, I've never seen them flip their lid. I have also actually had a /lot/ of enjoyment having someone like phoebe on the station. Having everyone happy go lucky clones is boring. We need a curveball. I'm also fairly certain but being a dick IC, isn't the same as being a dick OOC. For example, writing a player report agaisnt someone because you're salty they wrote one about you, is being a dick.

Its exactly that, but its that because of consistent dickish behavior which is not conducive to actually having fun and playing a game. I shouldn't have to avoid to interact with a specific person to not have to deal with toxic dickish ranting that follows every word that comes out of their mouth. Except it's not... There's a IC reason for this character not to like humans. Unless I'm wrong, metagrudging is OOCly disliking a player, therefore your characters have grudges agaisnt theres. Phoebe has issue's with all humans, regardless of who's playing them.

I've never talked to Nurise OOCly, and hardly ever ICly, but from what I see, Essel despises humanity. She has never gotten along with my human characters, but she is a perfectly respectable human towards by mangy cat-beast. I'd say this is more of an IC issue than OOC, cause from what I see, this is just a counter complaint against Nurise. Also, it'd be helpful to back up your complaint with some screen shots/logs. The works.

Love you Sierra, come back soon ples <3

Good on you for getting things straight neb. I'll miss you and I hope everything works out.

The warden had straight jacketed and gagged Jishna, then I took her into interrogation and took off the gag and was going to try and straighten everything out, but Terrence had messaged central command and they had said I was to be removed from the head of security position, and he wanted it done right now, so I had to go to the bridge and be demoted.

Updated, also I'm curious about peoples opinions on my style of writing. Also, I'm gonna hold up on writing the brig part of it, as I'm sure things'll change.

Yeah, I've some edits to make with this new map as well. It'll be fixed before the end of the day.

Finally a medical one. Next cargo, then..the world. But yeah, this app's a lot more expanded and works a lot better for me. It's got my go ahead.

Yeah, she didn't draw this for me. I had just made the character out of the drawing. And she draws because she's got a lot of time. I've seen her sell some drawings and I've seen her frame them and put them up. I could show some more if you guys were interested?

I'm 18, my dads 36, and my grandma's 51. I can't math

Yeah, I based a character off of her drawing. and she had my dad when she was 17, and my dad had me when he was 18, so she's not like 80, about 46/47

Terrence Frank, last night not sure what time, despite being loyalty implanted, proceeded to beat an engineer, after the shuttle had landed. I'm sure it was dealt with by the admins, but it's something I feel should be added to his complaint.

This is from what I've seen. My character almost only hangs around with Taj for IC reasons, so for that reason, I've seen a lot of other Taj players, Focks, Neb, Demon, Jackboot, Sierra, Nightmare etc. More often than not, they will ask me to stop speaking Siik'mas so that the humans can be included. They mostly follow those two things I had put up. Perhaps this is just you doing this and it was irrelevant for you to bring up the point.

Nine times out of ten, I find at least, if someone is speaking their native tongue they're either: A. Trash talking the species beside them that doesn't know said language or B. Alone with just that specie I don't really think this is the biggest problem if a problem at all. You can't tell people how to roleplay their characters. If they don't want to be inclusive that's their prerogative and they'll miss out on the RP with the person. Sure you can say "why dont you people make characters that /are/ inclusive." People already have. There are plenty more people who aren't commited to a "clique" than there are actually in one. The biggest problem I think the server has, is people picking antag, but not knowing how to do so. I'm not sure if there's some way we can confirm that someone is capable of antaging, such as whitelisting it, or what. That's my two cents though Bottom line, you can tell people not to be dicks and stick with their characters native tongue, they don't have to listen mind you, but it's dickish to tell people how to roleplay their characters. *edit* don't get me wrong, I'm all for including new players. Just the whole, trying to tell people to change their characters doesn't sit well with me

My bad-ass librarian character that I hardly play anymore is the only one I have artwork for. It was Chaos Baylock *I didn't draw this, just to clarify, by bad-ass grandmother did* [attachment=0]Chaos Baylock.png[/attachment]

One of the few people I have just incase I need guarrenteed actual role play, and does not disappoint. While I'll be sad Focks'll be playing a Lizard instead of Hasna, they certainly will be able to rp a heck a of good lizard. +1

who even does that like does anyone even actually do that i can't say for certain i've ever seen anyone do that. [attachment=0]hotrod.gif[/attachment]
