BYOND key: NikThaGod Discord Username: Nik!!!#8097 Character names: Henry Kuschnir Balthazar Greenhorn Nikolas Kuschnir How long have you been playing on Aurora?: I have been playing since 2017. Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they?: I received a ban back in 2017 from when malf AI was still a thing. I had a ban back in 2021 related to bad escalation of a situation as a security officer. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The OOC purpose of the staff is to have someone the players can look upon to in either guidance or to be taught something. A command member is someone that will guide the department to the best, ensuring a good RP experience for everyone involved it. Together with being useful to new players who wish to learn the mechanics and how everything works, even more in the department I have most interest in that is science where you have a lot of room to learn and invent new things but rarely find someone to teach the basics. Together with someone to rely on when problems arise and people are looking for a solution. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: They have the responsability to encourage roleplay and ensure that people are feeling as immersed as possible in the game. To play along with the antagonists so the round is fun for everyone, to solve issues that are created IC or even OOC and keep it a general good relationship. To uphold these responsabilities I would do my best to have everyone interacting among each other and producing things. My main focus would be on the science field so I want to poke the creativity of the scientists and help them find new things while sharing the knowledge I already have. Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career? There was recently the bombing on the embassy by the anti-federation agents, together with the arrivals of refugees together with the newly created Starlight Zone. Nikolas being a former member of the Aurora crew was now put in the newly made Horizon ship which will serve as a important chapter in the space exploration and discovery, therefore giving the man a brand new opportunity to occupy the role he had dreamed with so long. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? I really plan on playing RD as it is a command position that no one plays as and I believe it is rather important. I also plan on touching HoP later on as I get more experience in the field. Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yes I went through them on the positions I wish to go for and learned the paperwork needed together with the burocracy that comes with it, just to make the RP looks as realistic as possible. Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.: I have Nikolas Kuschnir that I plan on making him the RD. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes I understand that the position requires me to maintain a good profile at all times and I will do my best to do so. Have you linked your byond account to the forums? I have, yes. Extra notes: The actions taken against me aren't anything too Major, beside the one in 2017 where I was brand new to SS13, since then I have learned more and more, now I feel like I have enough knowledge of the game to apply to such important roles.

very based 10/10

BYOND Key: NikThaGod Total Ban Length: 3 days Banning staff member's Key: Peppermint96 Reason of Ban: During a round of traitor, used lethal force on someone with nothing more than a baton. Reason for Appeal: I do believe it was a rushed ban since it was towards the final of the round. Together with the member who got shot is also a mod so I don't know it felt way too weird. Admin wouldn't listen the fact that I was assaulted on harm beforehand, and it just felt rather bias. The same character then later goes to shoot me blank fire on the head with no escalation after the conflict was solved and apparently had no reprimands on doing that.

Understood, thank you for this chance @Alberyk

BYOND Key: (NikThaGod) Total Ban Length: (Forever) Banning staff member's Key: (alberyk) Reason of Ban: (Turning on the emitter on the engine as a drone and logging) Reason for Appeal: (I was banned for being a cunt that day and it was totally a fair ban, it was a stupid idea of mine to troll on the server, I have been wanting to get back for a while and I think I learned my lesson on that. I think I should be unbanned because I have learned my lesson and I really wish to be back on the game)

I actually didn't got when you said that, since what i understood was that we only didn't know about what runes do or how they work, not at all that we didn't know that runes weren't bad, i did read them but i didn't got anything saying that we don't know anything, beside in rp i even tried fixing my mistake.

Alright, i guess i will wait on him then.

BYOND Key: nikthagod Total Ban Length: 4320 minutes Banning staff member's Key: alberyk Reason of Ban: Metagaming the cult, by yelling, pointing out and rushing officers to act over the runes he saw on cameras, you were spoken about this already, on the top of a lot of notes/Warning about this. Reason for Appeal: I was called out once for metagaming, even after that i checked the rules and didn't got anything about not knowing the antags, i pointed out because was kinda obvious of people writing runes in a locked place, for what i'm know of, metagaming is when you talk about the game outside the game (like revealing info for a friend in a chat for example), after a long talk with the admin he decided to ban me, i would like to be unbanned because i admit i was anxious over the time i got my first antag and what i did was a bad mistake, but after i did that i took the pictures of what was going on to the chaplain to have a in rp reason to keep an eye on them, after that was when i got banned. I really like the server and i admit my mistake, but i would like to be forgiven for it, since the antag knowledge wasn't know to me, even on before warnings i didn't got what it exactly mean, this time i got that it was about the antag knowledge and how i can avoid it by making up a new situation on roleplay where my character doesn't know what antag things are before seeing them at first and analysing them.
