AllyBearsley

Necroing this post thanks to [mention]LanceLynxx[/mention] and since LanceLynxx basically wrote the telescience guide I will be working on getting them some of the rewards stuff mentioned.

CCIA Staff Application Basic Information Byond key: AllyBearsley Character names: Francis Martonis, Sheila Mortiz, S.A.K.E, KESA, Ker’los Dyroshi and several others I barely have two rounds with. Age: 23 Timezone: CST What times are you most available?: Usually from 3pm-12pm weekdays and virtually all day on weekends while classes are going. Basically whenever when I’m on break from classes. I will be on break from classes from 6/12/2017-08/01/2018. Experience I have acted as moderator and administrator for several RP groups. I will admit most of them were related to Warhammer 40,000 and have fallen through due to my inexperience at the time. I have used those issues and failures as a chance to learn. I’m absolutely not perfect and can lose my cool, but I am able to remain calm in most situations. How long have you played SS13?: Going on 8 months solid. I did play a few rounds on a random server with some friends I don’t even know how many years ago, but that was just goofing off. How long have you played on Aurora?: For about 8 months as well. Aurora is one of the first servers I tried out in around February and I’ve stuck with it since. How active on the forums, discord and/or server are you? I may not post too often, but I do check the forums frequently. When I do post I am mostly looking for suggestions on wiki page updates. I post infrequently on the discord but I could absolutely be more active in there if I need to. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No. Have you ever volunteered as moderation staff for any other servers, SS13 or otherwise?: I have run RP groups and acted as admin, but not anything relevant to gaming. Do you have any other experience that you believe would be relevant to a position in the CCIA?: None that comes to mind. Personality: I’d honestly say pretty rough. A lot of people seem to think I’m alright and I don’t think I’m the worst person ever, but I definitely have my problems. I am working on it and openly asking people to help me curb any negative behaviour. Why do you want to join the CCIA?: Really I just want to help out. Handling IRs, sending faxes, doing whatever is necessary to give the group a hand. What do you think are the most important qualities for a CCIA Agent to possess?: The ability to remain unbiased no matter the situation. What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is in an ongoing round?: To send faxes and act as Central Command when the station needs them, and to almost make NanoTrasen feel like tangible character with which to maintain a presence within the narrative. They also are expected to conduct interviews with people on station. What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is outside of the server?: To be a source of guidance when it comes to regulations and understanding of how to act In Character to avoid conflict with with NT. How do you handle stress?: Fairly well all things considered. I am able to combat stress pretty well, but I will admit I sometimes get swamped and am slow to get through problems. How well do you work autonomously?: Again, fairly well, if I’ve had enough training and preparation to act alone. I’m sure with a trial period I’ll be good to go. Additional Notes: None at this time.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! I'm actually active again, looking to fix up the wiki once more. What we've got so far: GUIDES TO UPDATE Cargo and Cargo Roles: Due to the map change and recent cargo update the cargo pages have become significantly outdated. Will bee working to fix them. Mining(Needs fixing up to update with Aurora) Other Antags (Should be listed. Need antag players for guides.) Tesla: Look man I haven't touched the Electric Death machine. Help fixing this page up would be nice. GUIDES TO REVIEW AI: Page has been updated by Chada. Cyborg: Page has been updated by Chada. Medical pages in general: With the lore/position/requirement rewrites some of the Medical Pages might be wonky. Point out things that are wrong. Telescience I would really like help with the Tesla, thank you. As always if you see something else on the wiki wrong, outdated, or what have you and it's not on these lists, report it to me. Do remember: RULES FOR SUGGESTIONS: 1. If you just name a page that should be updated without giving any information on how it should be updated, your suggestion will be ignored. 2. If you ask for a page to be added and do not give any information on what should be on that page or give a link to an existing page on another wiki, do not expect the page to be added quickly. Have a nice day.

mesh outfit doesn't surprise me at all I actually love the idea of this and how you have a good reason for your char to have it. I also agree the TV shirt is great and totally reminds me I want to make an open discussion about in-universe TV shows and stuff like that.

The Tesla page right now, is almost literally a placeholder that will be updated when I find someone who is able to help me update it properly. If you or someone you know (or someone browsing) can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't like playing cultist. I do like playing constructs. I am for this.

Well prices were finally changed that's a huge hurdle overcome. If the issues are primarily config and not code based that means they should be fixed relatively quickly as they are called. I'm fine with this thread being closed and will be making a new one based on some tweaks to the cargo terminal gui that I think are pretty good to have.

I don't like cult. I don't like how most people play cult. I think it can be fun. I haven't experienced fun playing cult yet. I don't want to be a cultist. If I resist you are free to kill me and I'll stick around to be a construct. I find being a construct more fun than being a cultist. That's just me. People have preferences. I want to LOOC to antags more often, but I'm always afraid someone will catch it through a wall and come snoopin for them juicy antags.

Damn it!!!!!! I knew I should have broken those.

It was pretty good. I had a ball with it. I loved the mental torment being sent to our chars and how we had to RP that on top of a talking crystal god thing. I wish there was some incentive for people to not kill the Captain besides you having to make it up (unless I missed it). Overall I really enjoyed it despite joining in a bit late.

I will contact you or have another maintainer contact you to work on fixing that page up. Thanks for letting us know and offering to help fix it up!

My suggestion is simple as that. I wish for Cargo to be reverted to its older point system, while the new system receives more work off of the live server. The new system is a novel idea, but in its current implementation it needs a lot of work. Items are missing, prices are strange, and the UI could use some features (like easily what was ordered on the screen to accept orders). I believe the new system needs to be worked on some more before being implemented on the live serve. I am also willing to help improve the system anyway I can. I do believe it is a very interesting idea. The reason I haven't spoken much on this topic yet is simply because I am just getting back around to playing cargo. I apologize for my silence until now.

Catch you on the flipsi-... Nah for real though, it's been cool except when you only powergamed head of department antags. I hope to still see you around. Take care!

First thing: Internet should be Extranet for sake of fitting in with lore. Not a major thing, it's just in the Auroraverse the Skrell made the extranet which is like the internet but in space and bigger. I think. Your characters names are just that to me, names. I've seen them on the manifest and around a few times, but I can't say I've interacted with them. Now with my sporadic playtime and not always being on the ball when meeting new people, I can't blame you at all. However, I actually kind of like the "I have interesting" ideas bit to your answer there. It shows you've put some thought ahead of time and means these characters will be more personalized. As for the backstory. I don't, dislike it. I actually quite like it. Some junker finds a junk bot and takes a good while to fix it up. I would like to hear, how long exactly it took him to fix up this IPC, and more of a reason why a company would be intentionally making IPC models that were basically junk at launch. Was the company just not well off, looking to make a profit however they could? Had they been hit by other big names in the industry? Did the company's CEO spend all the money on space drugs and hookers meaning the rest of the company had to work with scraps? I'd honestly love to see the backstory expanded more. Especially since I feel it'd take a good long while for someone not working on some form of robotics degree to fix up and get an IPC working, even with the help of the extranet. Unless it wasn't really that banged up.

Okay first thing's first: It's nice to leave the bold around the parts that had bold in the original template. Second, I haven't seen many of your characters, beside BEAST. I can scarcely remember BEAST. I can scarcely remember most borgs. However, I don't have negative thoughts about BEAST, unless I'm mistaken he was pretty useful. To the app itself. It's not bad. Your answers are acceptable, you're using some lore reasons for this unit's existence, and you're really working on fleshing out why this unit was built. I kind of like what you're going for. What I do not like is the constant mentions of "no fear to damage". IPCs of course do not feel fear like organics, but they do want to act in self preservation. Their bodies and Posi-brains are expensive. Damaging/Losing those to carelessness is not a good thing. I'm worried you're looking to play an IPC to ignore fear/self preservation RP. This is only doubled by the fact you want to start with an Industrial Frame, a frame that can be argued as "overpowered". Absolutely nothing that just breaks the app, but it does give me apprehension. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Will be testing this out SOON

After speaking with whiterabit, the reg has been changed to

Ah and those roles have distinct job responsibilities and not easy overlap. These distinct responsibilities and easy overlap is something you wish to expand on with FT and Detective. I can fully accept that. If I go Engineer, I don't feel like I can just waltz into Atmos and work on all that stuff. I am also mechanically blocked from doing that with access. So I feel it should be more the same with FT and Detective right now, yet it seems it doesn't.

I'm actually really okay with further distinction, as I briefly mentioned in my post. Either make them work a different slot or make them an alt title. However, I would like to address: Which jobs that are different slots are like this? I completely admit ignorance to this and would like to know what jobs that are different slots yet don't feel like it, so that later recommendations to further distinguish them could be made.

If they are capable of doing the same job and have very similar job responsibilities and qualifications, I don't see why they aren't just alt titles. Either we really make them different, unique, and useful or just make them alt titles.

As a person starting to get into Xenobio I would love to have more than just slimes to work with. Though there is useful things that can be done with slimes, it is still incredibly finite and can be done rather quickly. Having more xenobiologica creatures to experiment on and possibly dissect would add a lot of roleplay opportunities and overall fun to the role. Now I would prefer a cube form, infant form, or egg form for the creatures. That way their growth can be controlled, at least a little by the Xenobiologist.

Hey thanks for the feedback! Glad you like Martonis. He quickly became my main after putting him in mining on the Exodus. I feel I've neglected a lot of characters I made to play and character ideas I want to try out, just to try developing Marty more. Now that I'm getting a bit more free time I'm running with more chars and getting to experience more of the station. Kalren has proven to be a decent HoS. I mean in my experience most HoS's are either alright in my book (though possibly valid hunty that I can't notice because I just avoid antags) or ballbusting/no fun allowed. Kalren has been alright, though sadly I don't fully recall many interactions with him. I will work to change that if at all possible, but I do generally play my characters as people who treat Heads with a lot of respect and avoids just talking to them while on duty, unless necessary. Maybe I should work on just catching Heads more often when things are quiet and trying to meet them more often. Grow the network!

Aw thanks dude! I'm glad nothing negative has circulated, but I developed a pretty bad attitude problem for a bit and it really only affected certain people. I'm working on readjusting and being better overall. Don't want to be a dick to specific people. Anyway, I'm glad my answers pleased, and yeah I don't think we've RP'd or been around each other that often. I won't even lie, for a while you really annoyed me and I avoided you. Then one day you started acting way better and I now have no problem at all being around you. So maybe one day our chars will actually meet and have a great time!

Anyway, Allybearsley is a great roleplayer and I believe he could roleplay a member of the skrell species without any issue. Most of my interactions were with Francis and Sheila, they are really pleasant to roleplay with and are believable characters in the setting proposed by the game, both in their reactions and backstories. +1 That is one of the best replies I've ever seen Alb and I'm saving it forever! I appreciate the feedback and work hard to at least make my chars believable. Though I feel I fail to properly emote with my chars, I am really trying to improve. Also Faysal is absolutely Sheila's fav HoP due to how many crazies he's chased out of her kitchen, and probably Francis's too just because Faysal responds and is willing to help the idiot out.

If it's a known code problem that hasn't been resolved, then yes giving magboots for the duration of the problem would be best.
