Right so I let this sit for awhile and am I going to leave it at this: For now the antag ban will stay in place until you can prove over a length of time. I want you from today to August 24th to try going without gianing more notes on you're behavior, if this can be done I will fully be alright with the antag ban being dropped, however for now, Im going to deny this [mention]SirCatnip[/mention][mention]ReadThisNamePlz[/mention] Is this alright?

I was one of the people who suggested a ban in the cirumstance so I will lay my input down on this. After the incident, Morbius PM;ed me and asked me to deal with the abusive admin who is perma banning them, they acted along like they had done nothing wrong in the case even when I tried to explain it to them. "Everything that happened was well within the realm of plausibility for human actions and you have yet to prove otherwise" I think you should ask you'reself that if you were under attack from highly trained steroid happy mercenarys, and you have no combat or conflict training, would you run from the situation or try and fight back and risk dieing? You broke fear rp as I also explained to you then. Most likely had not tried to justify validhunting/powergaming by having a character who lacks any fear and can apparently combat mercenarys and just apologized for the issue, a Perma ban wouldnt of been placed

I assume you play Servo (Which is a character I quite enjoy tbh). The only times I have interacted with him have been a couple times since I have gotten HoS whitelist, but to goto you're points. 1. Both of those incidents were during Antag rounds. I was moved to cryo as I was in Aghost and somebody assumed I was SSD and put me there, to which I finished up my ticket I was handling and exited and reported myself into security. 2. I work MWF currently due to being in down time for recovering from surgery, I had planned to play the round but I get up at 5am and drive almost a hour to work so I decided to head to bed abit early, so I do apologize. I however welcome you to when you do play science when im on RD (Which I haven't seen Servo much in science the times I have been on RD) to interact with my character as I have had nothing but positive feedback and rp with others on this character, even from those who have disagreed with my char icly have told me oocly they enjoy the char. I do see your point however and would love to get to play with you're char more to show you more. Im also open to feedback or constructive criticism if you want to msg me here or on discord at Drago#1720

So the basis of this really is your complaint is accusing me of targeting Muslims or you're character who you claim is muslim. You contacted Lance with a message along the lines of praising Allah. While this isnt a major major issue, I took a look at you're character who was 17 and has switched jobs between a Detective and a Security Officer aswell as a cadet. This again isnt a major issue in itself, you would get warned for this yeah but not a ban. However I took a look at you're name, which was clearly a rip off and related to the meming in dead chat last round about marc price. You were overall a 17 year old char who had the same name practically as the HoS and were attempting to convince the AI to announce worship for allah via announcement. I Talked to Juani and I however took Alb's comment that you're behavior has improved slightly and its been a few months since your unban, therefore I decided a week ban would suffice. To however make it out that im targeting a religious group is quite upsetting, seeing as I love and care for everybody here equaly and kindly without regard for gender, race or creed

I applied the antagonist ban and had Avery apply it for me. Me, Avery and Prate all watched as during the wizard round you ran around trying to blow up security; when at the begining of the round you asked for help and I gave you ideas for non violent gimmicks. You ignored this and opted to go full combat wizard, buying mostly attack spells and ran around blowing crew members up. I applied a warning and we talked you and agreed next mistake is a antag ban. Next round, not even 20 second into the round, you ran into the paramedic office and hypotized a guy with no rp and sucked the blood from him quite abit. You agreed to the terms and messed up and I dont feel comfterble lifting it nor should any staff until you can show you can properly play a HRP sever

Its moreso that according to notes that you have a habit of going SSD, and I witnessed it a few times myself. However I do sympathize with you so, permitted I have the ability to as a trial, I am willing to reverse the ban, though next time please just ahelp us real quick or make a macro to do so. We all have real lifes and understand these issues and I would love to help you or make sure you're cryo'ed if you have to go, but you just gotta let us know. [mention]SirCatnip[/mention] Is this alright?

Franc clearly buttered the ball up before the match #ButterGate

I was the mod handling this one I think; that or the issue with Rookie

Fresh has the ability to maintain a calm and collected attitude in the times i have interacted with him. He plays his characters very well and I am willing to put my full support onto this +1

BYOND key: QueenOfYugoslavia Character names: Zorrianna Balkerina, Ela Monislyum, Nigel Rhodes, Ynnefer Killinski, Donald Miller How long have you been playing on Aurora?: 9 months Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: There is at times a lack of Research Directors online. Aswell as over my time playing on the server, around 90% of it has been in science as I am very fascinated with it and enjoy it quite a lot. I wish to become Research Director to help others who come into science and allow them to learn and be productive under a friendly and newbie friendly lead who can run science efficiently and effectively Why did you come to Aurora?: I came to Aurora looking for a place in the SS13 community that provided serious roleplay and a friendly environment; and that is exactly what I have found. I came from another server that I attempted HRP on but they did not have that focus in mind and aimmed for more objective or you're normal ss13 type of atmosphere instead if a heavy roleplaying one. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Yes Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: Roleplay is by definition the creation of characters set in environment or world and are shaped by that world that surrounds them. Aurora's universe is a realistic yet futuristic world that gives players a sense of freedom in there roleplay while keeping it grounded and balanced to a point thats its a believable world that you are in, a perfect mixture of staying grounded and allowing users to create and shape there character What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The OOC purpose of this role is to ensure the staff that you are assigned to look over (In this application, pointing to Research Director). This type of role provides somebody to handle new players and veteran alike, to handle issues that may present themselves ic or oocly and to be the person to look up to for proper rp etiquette. These people are placed into these roles to allow those under them to have a example to look up to; and I feel with my attitude and outlook I can be a positive person to look up to and teach others. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: As stated above, one of the main responsibilities it to be a leadership role for the department. When you are in charge of the department, you are looked up to and are the one that people goto with there concerns or issues, be this based from ic or ooc; the head of staff acts as that front line and backbone support to pick up and teach those who fall under them and to ensure they do not fall again. You as the head of the department are the teacher and the role model of what is to be expected by the department Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Ynnefer Killinski Character age: 42 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Ynnefer was born on Sol IV (Mars) to a father whom worked as a Professor of xenoarchaeology at Mars University. Ynnefer was to be one of 3 kids, her mother having triplets whom however during child birth were all killed besides Ynnefer who survived, this however caused a great sense of anger from her mother towards the surviving infant and she left Mars and never returned. As a child, Ynnefer was always the smaller kid who would be along and wish to be alone at all times, being overly sheltered by her father who wished for no harm of the world to take his only child, she often found herself sitting in the library of the university her father worked at. As a child she was home schooled by her father, only getting to interact with other kids she came into contact with around the residence she lived at on the campus of the collage. Around the time she turned of age, Ynnefer was accepted into Mars University and begin her studies quite quickly; aspiring to be like her father in his field of xenoarchaeology. However, due to a unfortunate accident involving the excavating of a alien specimen under the fragile Martian soil, Ynnefer's father was killed when a support strut came loose, falling into the cavern he was working in and crushing him the and research team below. While the accident was the fault of the Martian government's inability or lack of care for safety inspections, Ynnefer was told her father was simply transfered off planet for a assignment, not knowing the truth of what happened to him for years to come. Besides this incident, Ynnefer graduated from Mars University with a Doctorates in xenoarchaeology, moving after this to obtain another doctorates in General Research and Development and Bluespace technologies, focusing on the technology and study behind Telescience . Upon completion of her studys; Ynnefer moved back to Mars where she took a position at Mars University, becoming a clerk for the Xenoarch professor. Afterwards however, she was given a contract for Einstein Engines and was employed there for a brief time before NT bought out her contract aswell as others in her research team as part of a lawsuit between the two companys. What do you like about this character?: I like this character as shes somebody who looks at herself and aspires to be what others are lacking in there life, be that a role model or a general operson to look up to. While she is quiet and can be at times abit snappy; she takes on a mother like approach to most situations shes in; mostly to makeup for the lack of having a mother growing up. These behavior traits make her unique to a extent and a very approachable character What do you dislike about this character?: Due to her education and the hardliner attitude installed into her by her father and teachers; shes somebody who likes to do things one way. While she does this, she is open to creative freedom in projects and has the ability to reason with others, however she may become very heated in these discussions; moreso due to her wishing people would learn instead of doing things there own way which she feels can lead to failure. One of her major character flaws is she doesn't wish to be a failure; shes a perfectionist at heart yet is forgiving for the failures of others, wishing to fix them to avoid them in the future. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: Despite these flaws to herself, Ynnefer remains somebody who leads by example; wanting to be the one that is looked up to the teaching those around her : she often times allows herself to get into her work herself; taking projects on with her team to ensure they can see how something is done or observe there behavior to help improve it in the future. She yes, comes off as a cold bitch at times but she means the best for her team and simply wishs for them to become better at what they do, in science and in life in general. Shes inside a loving person with a heart that wants the best for everybody and the best for the crew on the station and most importantly, the company Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: 7/10- 8/10 I will admit that I am not the best roleplayer in the world. While there was a time when I was abit better, I have became lax in some areas, however I am improving back in those areas and am fully confident in my ability to roleplay this role correctly Extra notes:

Basic Information Byond Account: QueenOfYugoslavia Character Name(s): Ela Monislyum E.M.M.A. Jayreece Bart Zorrianna Balkerina AI Name(s): ASTRID HALIOS Discord username + tag: Drago#1720 Age: 19 Timezone: PST When are you on Aurora?: Normaly mornings, late nights Experience How long have you played SS13?: For around a year and a half now How long have you played on Aurora: About 8 months of that time How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: Most of my time on ss13 has been playing on Aurora or baystation builds. Often times when I am not online I will setup my listen server and practice my spriting skills aswell as self teaching myself baystation based code such as used on Aurora Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: I have experience with the commands and abilities and the more in-depth parts of administration, however not on a server. I however have admined and developed and wrote lore for multiple other game servers, having coded for a GMOD server and acting as head of server production for that server that reachs a pop of about 50-60 players weekly, having to daily deal with situations and resolve issues between multiple different partys Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: Twice, one for a misunderstanding involving ghosting and needing to leave for awhile and the other for screwing around which I understand was and is wrong, if the interviewer wishs to inquire deeper then I went with the banner I will do so but its more so personal reasons which have been resolved Personality Why do you play SS13?: SS13 is one of the more in-depth games I have ever laid hands onto. People complain that its hard to get into or that its engine limits it when I find both to be the opposite. The UI is clunky and bothersome when you first try it yes, but as you slowly begin to play it and understand its mechanics, it becomes one of you're more favorite and enjoyable games Why do you play on Aurora?: Aurora is a heavy roleplay oriented gamemode. While this may sound like "No fun zone" to some, its quite honestly not. Aurora is one of the most serious and well developed, mechanic and lore wise on SS13 and for this reason, that and how nice every interaction with staff has been, it makes me feel welcomed What do moderators do?: Moderators ensure the cogs keep on turning. Moderators aren't the fun ruining police but do the exact opposite. By ensuring a quality of role-play is ensured, Moderators are able to keep the server fun and engaging by the players, aswell as fun and fair for all sides What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: To be a moderator is a way of serving the community and keeping it running; helping the playerbase solve disputes aswell as keeping events or such running in check and working along side the higher up staff team Why do you want to be a moderator?: I want to be a moderator to give back to the community that has become a family of sorts to me, a community and staff team that i feel happy safe and comfterble talking to about any issue I have, be it personal or game related; I wish to serve the community as it has served me What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: [*]Creative [*]Kind [*]Compassionate [*]Caring [*]Loving [*]Game Mechanic Comptent [*]Hard Working How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: Stress can be a good thing or a bad thing but I have learned to handle it quite well. People are playing a video game and may get angry, I however think this gives you a chance to work them towards having a more positive outlook by helping them understand there flaw rather then outright punishments I placed vouchers from other communitys on my last application, I can repost them here if needed

Worked with [mention]TishinaStalker[/mention] to fix these up to there standards

If there worried about people using it as a way to access genetics, you can simply remove or commit out that code for the powers

Not sure if you read the commit but, the entire circuit board has been fully removed from the code

https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/commit/aa61badaf7b5df3ef08def0acf853961d23b5b2c I understand why Genetics was removed but would it be possible to revert part of this commit Its useful for science to be able to develop protohumans for the use of limb or vitals replacements when needed or when testing on human subjects if virology needs to.

Wolfe is a great rper and I dont think I have ever had any negetive interaction with him and so far have just observed steller roleplay from him +1

Would it be possible to just code cyborgs to be able to use there hand instead of the gripper item?

First of all, we werent sacrificing it, it was being given its buriel rites with the chaplin supervising as the HOP said. We were told it was completely fine to do it in a corner of the station away from others, HOP left after that and it was dealt with IC, nor was I ever actualy arrested, just questioned. To the point of the outfit itself; its ceromonial wear; as in its not going to be worn all the time, only during services.

Fixed it! and the updated dmi

Will do

This would be fine if you made it evidently clear it's just a poke at other established religions so that there's no mistaking it was a joke, but I think the way you went about it was going a bit far if your intention was to be humorous. I don't think Menown would've posted that IC snippet if your character later went, "Hey, actually, I'm kidding, really. Don't take that seriously." Obviously if you did and he missed that, that's his fault for not sticking around long enough to see what else you had to say. I think it sets poor precedent for someone roleplaying as a priest to go out and say that even for satire purposes (without later saying, 'hey, this is a joke!') in IC given the inevitable reaction that's kind of expected of you to receive. You've had to be cognizant that someone would've taken the joke seriously, assuming it was indeed a joke. I'm not saying I don't believe you but it strikes me as just kind of odd that it didn't occur to you that your statement was A.) not exactly very tasteful given the environment and OOC standards here and B.) really bizarre on its own without later confirmation in the same round that it was a joke. All I said too was that I really hope your character is not actually like that and you plan on playing them seriously. Leaving an impression that one of your characters is promoting a sex cult is an awkward first impression to show, I'll believe you if you say that's not them and you'll ensure that there'll be no further misconceptions. It's certainly cause for alarm. Thank you, I will make sure to fix this and avoid it in the future.

-snip-

Thank you. Again, im not mad or anything, just moreso upset how it was handled. I would of appriciated it more for you to come to me and talk to me about it and address it so I can fix it.

Perhaps have claims from this servers staff to your ability to HRP? You can ask the admins if you would like, i must admit that i was banned from the sever for being under 18 on a ERP sever. If your willing to give me another chance, i'm willing to spend time on the sever and follow the rules. Im saying you should ask them and get logs and screenshots and testimonys

Thank you for clarifying, I guess this is addressed at cake now
