You linked me to a non exsistant rule that was not even relevant to the current issue at hand. They could not change there name when they were a raider and had tried to but could not due to a bug. I said i'm not going to punish them for this and you asked for the ticket to be closed and approached the player and confronted them on the issue in a manner that is blatantly disrespectful and demeaning to talk down at people like this. You were talked to back in May about doing this, to which you harassed a player over discord about a issues that happened in the round. Players should not come here and have people demean and talk down at them, its treating them like children and is generally disrespectful to do. You have little trust in staff handling the issue and that is evidently clear by you attempting to resolve it yourself and not trusting that the issue was addressed (I had already looked into the issue.) Afterwords you went to DM me to accuse me of lieing and holding some grudge to which I blocked you. I have nothing against you, but I do not and will not tolerate players demeaning other players and acting as backseat moderators when they don't get there way. I won't be replying further to this unless asked to or needing to rebuttal.

I'm going to deny this, on the basis that such a item that can hide the face sets a bad precedent for what we want security to be doing. Security should have there face present at all times unless a need for protective gear is needed.

Accepted

Accepted

Alb is giving his opinion. I want to believe people can change. It is as simple as that. Nothing shady.

What story?

I won't accept a appeal then or ever until you show you can improve and behave Locked

Yeah no, I am denying this. If you can't play and not push the rules or boundreys and actively can't show you have improved, this will stay denied. I will be denying any future appeals until you can actually prove you you have improved. Currently you have wasted your chances for the most part and I have zero faith currently that if I unban you that you will stay unbanned. Denied

Im going to keep this short and blunt. This is about the fourth perm ban you have on record, why should I lift this if you still can't prove definitively you will behave?

Whats wrong with the bar placement?

Going to go ahead and accept this, we really enjoy how it ties in with Frontier themes and is a excellent example of blending two cultures together

Lets keep this on topic, if there is further tossing of insults/accusations then you are going to be warned, as this is your warning. Keep it relevant or dont post

Eridani is just a point of intrest to me, however I look forward to helping with the sol re-work that is being planned as for making more factions information and lore more readable and accessible and understandable, I see alot of oppritunity with expanding on frontier lore aswell

Again, its mostly a concept thats being suggested, I thank you for the feedback on this issue though and I believe exploring the lifes of upper class Eridani is something we can expand upon without changing the whole system

I was inquiring with them first about the ownership/relationship to normandy as this was brought up to me as a issue, I had every intention of discussing it with you and then the both of you until I was told to leave it to kyres, however I apologize if I came off pushing at him to answer for you, that was not my intent. As to this @BoryaTheSlayer my child, I dont plan to just work on Eridani, I will gladly and whole heartly work on other elements as given to me or requested for help on.

Firstly, I believe you are not remembering the situation fully or are confused about it. I was contacted by a member of the admin team and given a large amount of screenshots of questionable ipc play from you and the other player, another question being how the other player somehow came into ownership of this IPC. Kyres at the time was on break/loa to handle personal issues so the issue was given to me to look into. Keep in mind none of you were in trouble nor are you currently, I was given vauge screenshots of questionable synth play and seeked the involved players out to get clarification on the whole issue to put the person who reported it to ease. I went to Darkstar first as I could find his discord easier and saw it first, inquiring about the relationship between the ipc and his character aswell as how they came into ownership of the ipc, again this was just to gain clarity on the situation where i was given vauge information, I would never act on such vauge logs without understanding the situation from BOTH sides, leading into the next issue You essentially asked another player not to discuss with me attempting to look away from the out of context screenshots and understand the situation. I had every intention of coming to you aswell a s then discussing it with you both as a group as again, none of you were in trouble but when Im handed a task I am going to complete it and understand every detail of the situation to help you and to ease concerns of others, as is the mission goal of serving the playerbase. I feel you jumped the gun for whatever reason and assumed you were in trouble, which I understand, I have a hard way of conveying my thoughts at times and tone with how I bring issues up, however I feel the whole process of this incident could of been avoided had you not jumped to assume this was a attack, as my actions in this investigation were solely to address a concern and to get the facts from both of you and not vauge screenshots, that would be unfair to judge anybody by that standard and would be the downfall of this community if we judged on the vauge accusations of one party. I hold no ill will towards you and I thank you for being respectful in your post and allowing me to clarify this with you.

To clarify, I believe I have the time to dedicate to it currently, the situation described before has mostly been resolved, however I thank you for understanding and I understand the concern y ou hold

To address this too, the project has been worked on, just not pushed to github. My plan is to implament it in cordination with expanding on Eridani augments

Are you suggesting a fallout type trait system?

Firstly, as for the question of inactivity. I have not had fully stable housing for the past 6 months, I have either been trying to pay rent alone or living with my cousin, while working two jobs to help support myself and them this alongside with health issues. I dont think its very fair to accuse me of being inactive without understanding my circumstances, Im a private person and I dont want to make my problems be other peoples problems so I don't discuss it, so yes there is alot of times when I come home and just wanna play or do something that makes me happy. I love helping the community and helping the community in itself is very enjoyable to me as I enjoy making others have a enjoyable experience. As for IPC lore, I helped kyres and ironchaos with the synth arc we had going aswell as aiding in the ipc rework, however I will cover more on that topic below. Also the supermoderator thing is a joke To cover more on the inactivity portion. The IPC Rework currently is about fully done, aside from minor tweaks and sprites for certain things. My resignation from synth lore was discussed awhile back with kyres as did they discuss possibly stepping down, so yes I stalled working on stuff with it as I do not want to force a new synth dev to work with something they might not like, and if a new synth lore dev wants the ipc rework still, I will gladly re-open the pr to finish it Augments: The pr listed on github is not up to date with my local copy that I have been working on, I stopped uploading it to that pr so i can focus on working on it without things being reviewed when not fully done Power Tools: They are ingame currently, along with the construction rework Medicine side effects: I did not have time to do this at the time so stopped this yes Proy Gamemode: I was told this would serve better for NBT so I am not focusing on this To sum up a reply to the rest of the post, there may be things that yes, I may of been misinformed on or confused upon by reading over the lore, however I thank you for bringing more clarity to these points. This is essentially a draft of sorts on ideas that have been pitched and certain complaints from people they have had with eridani lore. I understand these changes stated are drastic in some ways, so to include jackboots comment into this People enjoy playing Eridani currently, however they want more out of it then what they have right now, this being said I would not make any large changes thats makes them a new faction, moreso adding and adjusting then remove and replace so help players retain. My goal is to build up the surrounding lore around it to allow players to understand it better and feel more fluid in there characters creation and roleplay These changes are suggestions again, I am always open to alternative ideas and input from others and will seek input from others

Are ethier of you using a pirated copy of windows or bought a key online/used computer?

Ckey/BYOND Username: Drwago Position Being Applied For: (Species Maintainer, Wiki Maintainer, Lore Developer, Deputy Lore developer): Human Lore Deputy Past Experiences/Knowledge: Currently moderator, developer, wiki maintainer, former synth lore deputy Examples of Past Work: Plethora of PR's, however notionally the IPC Rework, however never released due to my resignation and with so, the rework was not released but can if whoever becomes the new lore dev wish's to contuine that The Eridani Crisis Or how to make Eridani society unique and fleshed out for a multitude of characters Part One: The Problems Eridani culture as is in its current state and form, is a great idea and it has solid lore, however with this being said ,the lore itself is quite dull in the types of characters you can play and the society around them. From asking a select group of players what they would desire out of Eridani is, the ability to play more types of characters that don't fit into the current two categories of people, Dregs and Suits. This archetype of class is very very overdone and limiting to what type of character you can play as or fit into, to the point it is like if S.E Hilton wrote a cyberpunk version of The Outsiders, and as much as I love that novel, I think there is far more points where we can improve or change. Eridani as well currently lack much identity to themselves with this caste system, which is well overdone as stated before, there is little explained or given that shows WHAT makes a Dreg different from a Suit aside from money and political influence. Eridani themselves are the same in many ways and there is no explanation for internal conflict between these social groups. To bring to the table another issue before we discuss how these can be improved or resolved, I would like to bring up another point, while not specifically a “class” of people, the idea of Eridani PMC’s is a very popular group to play currently, however there is a question of what it means to be a Eridani PMC, while defined it leaves little up to the player to decide between a set of groups who are all predefined with their own morals and how they operate, I think bringing in player led groups and player inspired groups is the key to this issue, which will be expanded on later Part One: The Proposed Fixes Or How to revitalize Eridani Eridani should be fun to play, it is in a unique position in the lore to be a wonderful hub for many many different characters and stories to be told, however there are things that must be expanded upon in Eridani lore for this to be practical and enjoyable. Firstly, the setting of EridaniI feel should be changed and or expanded on. We are given light glimpses into Eridani society yes, but nothing that makes playing a character from the Eridani Federation interesting or enjoyable in the long run from playing another character from a place like Mendell City or Elyra. My proposal would be in simple terms is to begin looking at Eridani from a people standpoint, expanding on who Eridani are is the key to making the group be enjoyable. In media such as Ghost In The Shell or Snatcher, these societies that resemble Eridani society and their world are worlds where there is a plethora of different people, you take a game like Snatcher and play through it and the world itself even for a game of its kind and time period it was made, it pitched a wonderful immersive vision of life in a grim dark dystopian cyberpunk Esq society, one made up of people from all sorts of places and environments. Currently if you look at one character, it's easy by certain features to tell they are from Eridani, while this may make them unique, this sets a poor representation of what Eridani as a people should make up. My proposal would see Eridani be represented as many different walks of life, Most themes focus on afro-centric ones due to the West African colonization, but this implies that there is little room for others to come into the Eridani system if all the characters represent the same themes, when in fact the Eridani Federation was built by mega corporations that have high investments and stakes in the system, to imply that the mega corps who have so much in these systems never integrated into society as a major part of it makes little sense considering how easy it would be to do this with as much pull as these companies have. With this being stated, the genetic make-up of Eridani should be changed to represent this, and with it cultural opinions and conflict inside the society A ethnic makeup such as this; combining the history and keeping it a core part of Erdnai society and history while also combining East Asian influence and culture to represent their large companies coming into the system and spreading their own influence and corporate agenda, and with this said there being a large identity crisis as to what being a citizen of the Eridani Federation means, what defines the Eridani; and this can be used to fuel more dialogue between different cultural sects of Eridani society, straying away from themes like racism to more so understanding of your identity. But at the same time, this alone does not define Eridani, so how can we do that? We can begin to implement mechanic and written functions into their society to differ them, an example being Augmentation and the moral implications of this, example being sects of Eridani culture not wanting the spread of augments to go outside of their own sphere of influence while another wish’s to spread the use around the galaxy and make user dependent on augments and the nanomachines that fuel these for a profit. But Drago you may ask, what are augments in our lore? Augments itself are left very undefined aside from auk’tah who are essentially augmented beings that operate different in regards to how augments for other species would work, however we will discuss augments later on in-depth and my plans for these. To finish up on Eridani culture and identity, these are merely proposals and can be discussed and or changed, but the main goal is to give them something that differs them from other societies while promoting some internal conflicts aside from just Dreg vs suit Dreg Vs Suit is a theme that may seem unique to our lore but in fact is a very outdated caste type system and does not represent a proper society well; people are not fit into two social classes, a system in this case that works far far better would be a system of Pro Tradition Vs Pro Expansion, This being the view of people on Eridani society, be it keeping in tradition and isolationism of Eridani society by those who originally came to the system vs the hyper expansion consumerism model of society and basis for profit of the mega corporations. While possible to be both of these, being one or the other of these offers more paths for characters to explore with their character as well as making them able to be in a variety of career fields while keeping their standing in Eridani society checked, an example being that a Pro Tradition viewpoint character could make it to a “Suit” class, being heavily wealthy, of high class and manners but also limited due to there objection to the mass expansion the corporations chase. Augmentation The Eridani Federation is the only faction where augmentation is mostly mentioned and plays a impact on society, yet we never see this mechanically or really described in lore as to what that impact actualy is aside from a vauge description about augments doing the same thing Marky Zuck has been doing for years with our data. I feel with this lack of information I can mold this into a more well fleshed out vision that makes augments a central point of Eridani society and plays into the struggle society there has with embracing the new vs there traditions. Augments would be fleshed out fully in coordination with Pegasus and under myself would be coded into the game to help aid the vision of how Eridani use augments and biomodification in there daily life, for superficial reasons and applications such as auto-makeup appliers to hacking tools used by the darker more seedy part of Eridani society Additional Comments: This is moreso a brief vision of how i would wish to improve the Eridani and is all concept/ideas for the most part, I am as kyres can vouch, always willing to re-work my ideas to fit any greater vision to better the lore team and the communitys experience. If any questions or desire for more ideas to be written out, please do post them here

Hi so, me and Yonnimer have discussed this and have come to this conclusion: The gimmick itself was fine, it was well thought out and engaging for the crew, however the escalation you went through was quite poor, its essentialy like climbing a ladder and instead of taking it step by step, you skip 4-5 of the steps, such as blowing up the person calling the shuttle with little interaction. With this said, a warning for better escalation is going to be applied.

I thought alb already was the lore writer for Tajara tbh +support

I believe Jam is the best option for varcua lore dev, a very epic and kind person and a wonderful writer
