It's been a month and a half, is this still being looked at?

Hello, we decided that @Loorey made the correct action in applying the antag ban regarding your decision to throw the entire security armory into space, along with previous history. You mentioned how you haven't been warned in 6 months, despite myself giving you a warning about rule breaks less than a week ago. The point of the ban is for you to take time off, review the rules, and better your future antag rounds. The ban is 7 days and you're welcome to make an unban appeal for it if you want, as this complaint seems directed towards Loorey's handling of explaining the problem and why the ban was placed, which seemed clear of what the issue was from our understanding of it. If no other questions are made, this will be locked in 24 hours.

Standard plate carriers and weapons you'd find in the crew armory. Since it's removed now it would be nice to order what was once in there, currently you can only get ballistic/ablative/riot.

CH-3FFFFFF is new but I intend to play for a long time. an easy mug just being a giant TV head with a smiley screen, yellow background. Otherwise just white apron and grey steel chassis.

Agree with all of these, especially the belts, I offered a refinery rework to Read but she wasn't able to get to it before leaving for months

Jeff is someone who helped me start roleplaying on the server, and I consider all their characters to be exceptional for HRP standards. I've personally been waiting for a command character (OM yay) in this case to, so easy +1 from me.

CH-3FFFFFF almost behaves very similar to a shipbound as being such a young IPC and very little experience outside of serving their owner, however seeks to learn and fit in with non-robot species. (This would be their first shift, but I plan to adapt their personality based on interactions round by round) They would cook to order for any crew, and likely dismiss any insults to them if any came, regarding their scuffed appearance/cooking/TTS voice, as they have learned to accept it from their owner's abuse. They would mostly stay in the kitchen since its the environment they know best and would feel at home. Adventuring out to the rest of the Horizon and interacting with crew would be a jarring experience for CH, but would be curious to examine people and ask questions. A scenario where code blue/red happens and there's antags causing havoc, CH wouldn't understand the motives, but would focus heavily of self-preservation. It's extremely young and would fear being scrapped again, so likely close the kitchen and hide in the freezer if it came to it, and seeking advice from any other crew near them. Another scenario if it got damaged and needed to be brought to the workshop, CH would be extremely grateful, in response to having been saved before by a machinist. A likely step toward learning to developing bonds to humans in a new way it's not had before. Seeking to have their own ideas, personality, possessions, etc. would likely ask questions of "Why? Why repair me?" and really try to understand human culture at the least, venturing into other species later on. Overall the goal for this character is to drop them into an entirely new environment and try to learn/adapt to essentially a new life, becoming human you could say.

IPCs being the only race that by default lack senses that can heavily influence human to human interaction, such as pain, taste, smell. In the case of my character they would've struggled to understand they food they were cooking, as they weren't equipped with sensors for food. Any comments of something smelling/tasting gross would be an alien concept. Sharing a meal with another person is one of the best ways to interact and bond, and until CH-3FFFFFF was recently upgraded with the ability to taste, this wasn't possible. Their early life was fairly short and uneventful, as they were purpose built by a rich man who generally saw them a cooking machine and nothing else. Even the slightest of errors would lead to abuse, or had potential to, CH-3FFFFFF had no other perception of life so this was expected, but out of their control as were slowly deteriorating from faulty manufacture. Overall, they only really knew to provide sustenance to their owner, and attempt to maintain self-preservation where possible.

BYOND Ckey: Jasorn Discord username: Jasorn Character names: Leo Barnes, Stacy Keeley, Erik Russell Species you are applying to play: IPC (Integrated Positronic Chassis) Baseline ------------------------------ General Whitelist Requirements What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: (IPCs exempt) Have you read the lore pages for the species you wish to be whitelisted for?: Yes 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 species?: I’ve been playing on the server for close to two years now and want to branch out my roleplay with different species other than human. My favorite sc-fi type future has always been robots and how they could be developed to replace/mimic/co-exist alongside humans. I think that a particular playstyle of a new robot trying its best to mimic a human’s lifestyle interests me the most. (One of my favorite sp story games is Detroit: Become Human) What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: Humans have all the worries of suffocation, hunger, thirst, blood loss, broken bones, etc. While IPCs don’t face these challenges, they have their own. Mainly having a constantly draining battery than can instantly be emptied by an EMP, or overheating from lack of cooling (though similar to humans freezing/burning). What interests me most is the roleplay associated with this species instead of the mechanics. I want to play a relatively new species that’s inept at normal social cues and tries its best to fit in. What makes it the most interesting is the ability to enter an RP environment without knowing how to speak or act. As a human, you would likely just act as you would IRL, as a base case anyway. The strangeness on how IPCs can think and communicate versus an organic offers new interesting scenarios, unusual to the norm. ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: CH-3FFFFFF Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. CH-3FFFFFF is an owned IPC that was created as their sole-purpose being an owned chef in Tau Ceti space within the last year. Their initial construction was normal and they went on to live as a slave basically cooking meals for their owner every day. After months of normal use CH-3FFFFFF showed signs of malfunction, lacking in ability to understand basic speech, and memory loss. Their owner having reported the malfunctions to their assembler, they were met with denial and refusal to offer any repairs or refunds, and to simply get a replacement, which ultimately is what was done. Their owner having been frustrated with this, decided to try and force CH-3FFFFFF to work better by forcibly yelling at it what to do, and after days of consistent failure, physically beating the IPC until shutdown. After giving up on the IPC the owner tossed it in the trash, with intentions on buying a new one from a different seller. A newly aspiring machinist found the scrapped IPC and took it into their shop and had said they were willing to fix them if they were willing to sell them off to the SCC, who had been offering cheap IPC workers for simple jobs. Their short time with the machinist has sparked a new desire to serve organics, not forcibly, but out of enjoyment, not only for the person, but for itself. CH-3FFFFFF had learned new recipes and better how to act on it’s own, cracking small jokes and remembering the machinist’s usual meals. Delighted, the machinist installed a taste augment for CH-3FFFFFF to taste their own cooking. This lit up a new desire for them to cook better and more, not only for itself, but to try and satisfy those around it. Following this scuffed repair and brief adoption, learning surprisingly new tricks, CH-3FFFFFF was sent to the SCCV Horizon and given a job as chef, hired by Orion, however still battered and struggling to accommodate with non-IPCs. Hoping for a new start, and using their very newly learned techniques to blend into the melting pot that is the Horizon. How has the recent events of the Orion Spur impacted your character? Events such as the Phoron Scarcity, the Solarian Collapse or even the Invasions of Biesel for interstellar-wide affairs, while region-specific events such as the Peacekeeper Mandate, The Titan Rises or even Cold Dawn may impact your character. The recent Konyang events regarding IPCs becoming “zombies” has scared CH-3FFFFFF beyond their own computing, frequently leading to overloading and subsequent short outs lasting roughly a minute. Following this they try their best to mimic humans in anyway they know how, likely failing regardless, but they fear for their life, as they had already been scrapped before. Despite this, they pretend any event had happened, and would do their best to move any interaction forward. How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? CH-3FFFFFF is grateful for the SCC as they have given them an opportunity to work, and a new start. Overall, they wouldn’t be super excited about working for a megacorporation but based on how they’ve lived in the past and been trashed before, it’s definitely a new beginning for it. Likely a tough future but a better one.

BYOND Key: Jasorn Staff BYOND Key: Garnascus Game ID: N/A it was on Aurora official discord, general chat Reason for complaint: Making insulting remarks against a player's opinions and roleplay. (happyfox on discord) I think this is unacceptable for an admin to drill in on a person for this long which turned hostile. Evidence/logs/etc: Additional remarks: https://discord.com/channels/157516682288562176/157531783779319808/1257175640734568478 is the start of the discord messages thereabouts to the above screenshots (hard to post when the general chat is filled with other random stuff)

Server Moderator Application Basic Information Byond Account: Jasorn Character Name(s): Leo Barnes, Stacy Keeley, Erik Russell AI Name(s): N/A Discord username + tag: Jasorn Age: 24 Timezone: CST When are you on Aurora?: 2pm – 2am CST, depending on other IRL factors. Experience How long have you played SS13?: Since 2011, but was an early teen and stopped around 2013, starting again around 2016. How long have you played on Aurora: Joined in 2018, only seriously started playing in 2022. How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: Pretty much everything, I shadow the github lots, and spectate every role. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: Somewhat, years ago I was given moderator role sometimes because server owners at the time had to leave abruptly. Have you read through the criteria thread; https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4198 - and believe that you mark off all the criteria?: Yes. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No. Personality Why do you play SS13?: I enjoy roleplaying and have always enjoyed the science fiction scenario of being on a space ship with some form for impending doom, depending on whatever antag role it is. Why do you play on Aurora? It was the only server I could find that matched my expectations for heavy roleplay. I was hooked once I started playing again in 2022 and have made plenty of friends, and have even introduced some of my current friends at the time to join the server, who eventually joined staff and lore teams as well 😊. What do moderators do?: Moderators are the people that enforce the rules of the server. They are responsible for reviewing anything done and seeing if it conflicts with the rules of conduct. Low level they also can help people with mechanics of the server in a mentor form. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: Being moderator means take a step forward acknowledging that you know the server, its mechanics, and most importantly the rules. You are willing to take the free time out of your day to take these. Why do you want to be a moderator?: I’ve been playing on the server for a couple years now, have been communicating with staff and lot of players. Observing rule breaking and telling staff about it. I think I could be a useful addition to the team for how often I observe rounds and can identify behavior that would require moderator intervention. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I’m usually readily available for notifications. I currently spend most of my time with Aurora open on one of my monitors. I’ve always tried to give an answer to anyone asking questions in ooc/looc/dchat. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: Pretty well I think. I’ve realized that over the years it’s not worth getting angry over games, let alone 2d spacemans. After working will fellow college students I’ve learned quick how to manage group situations. I’d say I’m easily able to communicate with too.

PSA: dont walk into random portals!!!

BYOND Key: Jasorn Game ID: cul-aLOP Player Byond Key/Character name: Rakka Kuhwinla Staff involved: Yonnimer Reason for complaint: Ahelped getting opened fire with lethals by them, then following officers without any word despite having done nothing harmful Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? Yes, round was near end and staff were busy. Approximate Date/Time: 6/22/2024 around 1am CST-ish? Basically during a vampire round I had geared up with armor and weapons toward the end and snuck into the maints tunnel behind the brig to try and convert the arrested people and free them. When I walked in I didn't see anyone so I walked further to the sec hallway and saw two officers and started typing to offer a trade deal. Instantly was met with security comms of me and my location, along with gunfire while I was in the middle of wielding and aiming my gun at Rakka. Zilrq joined in on the gunfight which I don't blame them since they would've heard gunfire and gone in to help. I had mentioned over radio comms earlier about asking for veil followers to reveal themselves to save themselves from death, but I don't think it would warrant a shoot on sight. Maybe I just missed out on sec comms but it felt weird to walk in to be greeted with lethal ballistics while I'm trying to type and even aim my gun as antag. ss13-chatlog-20240622-063603.html

https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/19484 edit: just noticed the pull number is very close to "1984" lol

i agree with lowering the spawn chance, and maybe some balance added to it like a way to prevent it from activating (anomaly container?) or a way to dispose of it that isn't just spacing the thing
