I think I've seen McLafferty around, but can't say that with any conviction. I think, be a bit more active in the community, and this'll be easier for you. New blood is always good, even if it's been here awhile and just ain't tapped yet.

Don't the current cloaks work perfectly for the coming setting of colony building. Like, why would we want to remove them if we're suppose to be working on planets with atmosphere soon enough.

I mean, we have the standard one but no one really uses it outside myself- WHEN I WAS NOT BANNED- and sometimes if other Officers find it. The neat part about the ones we have is you can roll then up to reveal your face. I mean, if you wanted like a traitor gasmask that wasn't that dumb SWAT mask that all the tacticool punks like, we could always just have like a re-texture of the new gasmask by Dronz with a solid color for the face part. Thus, hiding one's identity. Actually, maybe we should do that. Like, remove the SWAT/Merc mask and just replace it with a new version, then add that to the uplink-- along with the balaclava.

Right, because why would we want Security to freely traverse the station. Let's have them sit, isolated from departmental cliques, in tiny cubicles- tiny* cubes in places they have no* choice over. If you think that the four Officer slots available are gonna somehow always line up for you, to be able to hang out consistantly with your buddies from Medical/Science/Engineering/Service-Cargo, you're dead fucking wrong. Some bullshit I heard earlier about departmental preferences on the loadout screen. This isn't CM, these aren't squads. You have one man a department, and nothing more. So now rather than being able to get your gear, take a stroll and stop by whatever department you want to, to chat with those friends, now you get a possibility to end up stuck with them the whole shift. But the odds are you get stuck sitting in a random other department, with whoever else, and whatever their staff numbers are. Which departments typically have the most staff? Do you just get to leave your department whenever you want to? Also, if the [antag] is attacking the Medical department , does only the officer at the Medical department handle it? Do Officers at the Engineering and Cargo desks have to now run over to help, or are they suppose to defend their designated department? Where are they getting their Code Red/Blue equipment from? If there's a Code Blue situation, say- a boarding- does that mean everyone sprints out of their designated departments, moves to the armory, then runs back to their department? Is that not leave the department they are suppose to be defending open to an attack? This type of set-up works for servers where things are going a mile a minute. You're round lasts an hour, your antags aren't gonna be negotiating shit outside which of you to maim first, you need sec on the scene ASAP, and an easy way to take sec shit if you don't have any officers to begin with.

Put the balaclava in the uplink. Why not?

It does fall on me for taking that liberty, and I will not repeat the mistake.

The Captain was made fully aware of my intentions to blow up the shuttle, with everyone aboard. They did nothing to disuade me from carrying out this, nor did Doc concern themself with it OOCly until I had done it. Hardly fair in my opinion to ICly say yes to something as Captain then immediately after it is done adminPM me about fucking up. The ban appeal was yesterday.

BYOND Key: AmoryBlaine Staff BYOND Key: ShameOnTurtles and TheDocOct Game ID: N/A Reason for complaint: Poor handling of situation(Ironic and hyporitical of me, I am aware), and general poor handling of role duties as Captain and unjustified appeal denial. Evidence/logs/etc: At the end of September I was involved in a round of merc where in the mercenary team boarded the station, engaged personnel with lethals, and took personnel cpative. Security consisted of myself and I believe two other personnel. The Captain for the shift was TheDocOct's. At the start of the raid by the mercenaries, myself and another officer boarded their shuttle which was docked at the time and unlocked. Upon entering it was quite clear that this team was heavily armed and willing to use lethal means to accomplish their goals. The first thing I did once I was aboard their shuttle was report my findings to the Captain, I believe. They were informed of the nuke aboard the shuttle, and the nature of the attack carried out. I attempted to negotiate the release of personnel captured by the team in exchange for their shuttle, so that they may leave without a fight. As it became increasingly clear that they were not willing to cooperate with the terms offered, I informed the Captain that I would likely attempt to destroy the shuttle in order to prevent further raids on the station and make the deployment of a nuclear device certain death for the mercenaries. The Captain, who I had been asking for orders from throughout the round simply okay'd whatever I felt was necessary to eliminate the threat. As I stated in the appeal- I FULLY ACCEPT MY RESPONSIBILITY IN HAVING TAKEN FULL LIBERTY WITH THIS INSTRUCTION. I DECIDED TO BLOW UP THE SHUTTLE KNOWING FULL WELL THERE WERE CREW MEMBERS AND MERCENARIES ABOARD IT. I AM AWARE OF THE RAMIFICATIONS FOR HAVING DONE THID AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF CARRYING OUT ANY ACTIONS THAT WOULD BE DEEMED EQUALLY OR SIMILAR IN ANY MANNER YO THAT WHICH I DID. How this does not constitute for accepting my actions and being worthy of an unban after I already spent THREE SELF-IMPOSED MONTHS lying to myself about this fact is beyond me. I have nothing else to add to this part of my complaint. I would consider Doc's inaction to correct my very obvious intentions for carrying out the act of blowing up a shuttle full of people to be unbecoming of a staff member and a whitelisted command player. This was not me PDA'ing a Captain. It was me PDA'ing THEIR captain. THEY were recieving the messages and yet at no point did Doc adminPM me, nor question my intentions- nor did they offer any other options or suggestions. I do not believe that a Captain should be allowing Security Officer full liberty in carrying out whatever they deem to be necessary when handling a situation that is time sensitive, involves a nuclear device, multiple hostages and a breakdown of communication. Not to mention the general panic and stress that comes with being forced to take charge and authority with zero oversight or assistance. Additional remarks: Given this is three months aftet the incident I have very little in regards to a clear recollection of the events as they occured. I intend to have you, the staff, bring up all relative logs. I may also make a seperate complaint over Doc's captain play if it does not belong in this section of the forum.

Allow the voice changer gasmask to swap between other available mask types. If it fits in a gasmask, why not in any other mask?

Follow up?

I still don't see the issue with tactical gasmasks. If the arguement is they have too much defense, then can that not be lowered? The only time they are ever in use currently, is at the same time as a full ERT Hardsuit. I don't think lowering their defensive stats to repurpose them for Security would be a detriment to the ERT's use of them.

Okay but this time don't delete it from spawning anywhere thanks.

Bump.

I'm quite sure if this were to be added, Offficers would just walk out of their departments anyways and return to their normal tactics of grouping up where needed.

Allow the ugly red military belt mercs spawn with to be chameleoned into any other belt or fanny pack. Also add this to the telecrystal thing as a seperate item from the chameleon kit as the chameleon/military belt can store many more items than any other belt, pescially those pertaining to antag equipment.

It works the same as the crossbow, but deploys faster or something. I dunno.

Detective should get a box similar to the chaplain. You can choose between the .38 special, or the M1911. I think that'd be neat.

Miscommunication between myself and the Captain lead to me believing I had been given authorization to scuttle the shuttle, with the Mercs and whoever they were able to grab, aboard it as acceptable losses, given that without a shuttle nor a mobile location for them to operate from, they would be forced to remain on the station until a response team was made available; mind you this was after having already attempted to negotiate the release of any captured personnel for the return of their shuttle. It does fall on me for taking that liberty, and I will not repeat the mistake. What I would like to ask is why I got indefinite job-bans rather than timed bans, all the while having zero bans on my record.

Just give them a .45 with rubber. You can knock people out cold with it, and not kill them while still injuring them badly. It also makes it easier to obtain or exchange ammunition if things get dicey.

I agree. They look good as is. Don't change the sprite.

Are we considering the long haul here of the BIG NEW THING that has us placed outside the station, working at colonies and places other than spess.

COUGH COUGH

I like the idea of more time being focused on post-cloning. It puts weight on it, I find. But I don't care at the same time. I sorta like the current sub area, but it could use a lighting overhaul. Looks like shit currently.

You didn't understand my post. There's a big difference between me walking into the locker room at round start and seeing very clear clues that everyone else is Rev/cult, rather than the team being converted over the round.

BYOND Key: AmoryBlaineTotal Ban Length: Indefinite, 3 months approximated as of now Banning staff member's Key: TheDocOctReason of Ban: Unsure of the written reason. It took place 26th of September.Reason for Appeal: I have a track record of notes concerning my Security play- which do not account for the amount of rounds I have played without incident, nor the context for each noted incident- and this singular ban in my history of play- excluding that which was lifted in the past. I have- and had- every intention to play within the rules of the server, and would have done so, given I were not banned indefinitely from the role. I have put in a heavy amount of time into this server and community. I would like the ban lifted, please.
