From a station-side perspective Ta seem fine to me. They give some unique roleplay given they are giant bugs that other bugs look up to. I can't comment much on the lore side of things regarding them though.

I do have plans to rewrite the education blurb a bit on the wiki to include more information, like how education would swap between gestalts and some ways they could pay for their education. Although regarding them integrating into society, I haven't personally thought much about it. I don't think it has come up much with me. I do want to run polls with fellow lorestaff and Dionaea players to see what their issues are with Dionaea, and if this came up top, it would be something I would focus on fixing if it's disliked.

I deleted that paragraph. Felt a bit too rambly and badly worded on my part. Probably not the best to write something like that while feeling sick.

Personally, I don't have too many issues with the current lore for Dionaea. Saying this though, I do wanna expand their lore with more details that can hopefully allow for more character ideas with the species. Minor thing, for the next couple of days I probably won't be responding much here. Been feeling the sick the past two days, don't know how long it'll last. EDIT: Deleted the second paragraph as it felt a bit rambling and badly worded, probably not the best combo of things to write while feeling sick.

I would want to lean on the "mysticism" side of things with Dionaea as they are a strange and mysterious species. Their origins, for instance, are a mystery to most other species. There are hints as to maybe where they come from, or how old, but nothing concrete. Although while saying this, I do not want it to ever be "magicy" mysticism in the sense that while something may seem magical, it would still be scientific in nature, although possibly highly advanced. While I do want to keep this mysteriousness with them, I do also want to be a bit more publicly open about their "background" lore with OOC knowledge. For instance, I want it to be oocly publicly known as to what happened to the Dionaea who left a few months ago based on the news article, although I would not want it to be known icly by non-Dionaea.

i for one support this decision.

After much discussion, this application will be denied for the time being. The reasons for have been discussed with the applicant. You're free to reapply any time in the future.

Trial beginning as of August 23rd, and will end September 23rd.

I'm completely willing to unban you. Although you will need to be more careful with going SSD without cryoing or ahelping. If you believe you may need to, a good idea would be to make a macro to help you need to go and be stored for emergency when you need to go quickly, but can't cryo. If you need help setting one up. I can do that. You can PM me over discord about it. Just understand that if you continue too many times again, you may be permad again. Unban should be live within a few minutes. This will be lock and archived in 24 hours.

The interview https://pastebin.com/Yj8VV2uk

Hi, i'll be handling your interview. I'll be contacting you over discord shortly to plan for it.

What the titles says. Liaisons spawning on the ODIN means they get a shuttle, a shuttle that can be taken back to the ODIN on rounds when the station is not meant to be able to contact the ODIN, IE malf. Also makes pods useless, as why take a pod waiting to be picked up when there is a shuttle that can take you right back to the ODIN in an emergency. Also disallows CCIA to take the shuttle if it is away, since a airlock locks them behind the control console to recall it, although this can easily be fixed on it's own. There are, of course, other alternatives to fix these issues, this is just the one I suggest.

Locking and archiving

Hi, i'll be handling the interview. I'll contact you shortly over discord to plan it.

After looking into a few more things, we've decided the perma was a bit more than was warrented, and would be changing it down to a week. Given it's been a over a week, the ban will be lifted completely, although a note of it being changed to a week will be made. We are still considering taking the ID wordlesly invalid on your part. The result of something doesn't justify doing it in the first place. Given your past history, we deemed the week-ban valid, but not a perma. Although in the future, another case where there isn't enough RP for somethign to be valid, a perma may be placed. @BygoneheroYour concerns are being looked into, but the results wouldnt' be posted here. We'll be locking and archiving this in 24 hours unless another concern is made. If any problems with the unban happen(IE can't log in still) PM me on discord.

While people hold different reasons for not wanting to play them, i'd say there are two major reasons. The first being a lack of real involvement in the lore and universe. They aren't really a species you see actively in the lore-news. Even on station you don't really see them actively participating in a round's events as much as much other species would, seeing they don't really have a reason to, given the way the species is. They aren't participants, they are observers. The other major reason i'd say is their lack of real representation on the server by players. For about a year there was really only one dionae you'd see oftenly, which even then, they weren't really a dionae that would want to make you play the species, then for a while there were just no dionae on the server at all for a bit, until the numbers have started to rise in the past few months.

Dionae and skrell have a large amount history together compared to most species's interactions with other species, being they are technically the first two to discover each other, but not much of this is represented in lore currently, only minor tidbits. I'd hope to see their history together, interactions together. and how different dionae life might be in jargon compared to human space added to expand on their history, and hopefully more character ideas players could make from this.

First thing to mention, the winding was deemed a bit much, but we didnt' include it in this post. Part of the original ban was due to nursie believing you were calling a shuttle, which was deemed not making sense, given the shuttle was already called, hence why the ban reason was changed. However, taking the ID wordlessly and the insults during the admin-PMS were deemed enough for the ban on it's own, given your past notes, warnings, and bans. You can't just start doing something and hope RPs come from it that way, there is not much reaction time to someone taking an ID the way it was done. As said, given all your past staff entries, escalation to a permaban was made for this.

Well, one thing I would like to get added to the wiki would be dionae in and from other nations, most specifically jargon. This would include if they would be paid differently, how they were treated, difference in rights, languages they would speak (hopefully, given other species's devs approved of them knowing other species languages). As well as how a dionae may act differently if they came from a different nation. This would all hopefully help add some more creativeness with dionae characters, since you don't usually see a dionae from jargon, meanwhile in current lore, there would probably be plenty who did.

Ckey/BYOND Username: Yonnimer Position Being Applied For: (Species Maintainer, Wiki Maintainer, Lore Developer, Deputy Lore developer): Dionae lore deputy Past Experiences/Knowledge: I don't have much past experience with writing lore. I do have experience with working as a mod/admin for the server though. I have also helped pitch some suggestions to nein about some new features and little lore things, most specifically the splittable nymph feature, with lore ideas to go with it. Examples of Past Work: As said in the last question. I don't have much past work, aside from suggestions to nein about little lore bits and feature-suggestions. Two I could think of off-hand would be a suggestion about the detachable nymph limbs, and a thing about stores/online shops that sell blood for nymphs for specific jobs. What do you think about your creative/writing ability? I have issues with writing at times if I write too fast, but usually if it's something that isn't a chat, it usually is fine. I'd say in actual creative writing, I'd say i'm decent at it, but not the best. If there are any issues I have with it, I'd hope to improve. How is your ability to work with others?: I'd say fairly decent, given my current work as an admin for the server. I can't say I've had any major incidents with any fellow staff outside of minor arguments/debates. I'd also say i'm generally friendly with non-staff as well, hopefully in a way we could work together if needed. What is your philosophy about lore in general?: Personally? I think lore should explain the species's history, why they are the way they are, culture, religion, all that. As well as their biology and how they work. All this in something that is easy enough for someone to read and understand. What do you think you can do for the lore?: I'd hope i'd be able to help expand dionae lore, answer questions new people have. As well as hopefully help with some of the cross-species things that need to be answered with them, like how they live in jargon, and languages they can speak in and the like. I'd also hope to be able to help the other lore-team members if they did need any with anything. What do you like about the lore as it currently is?: Dionae lore specifically? I like the details about them, and how the lore represents them as something truly alien, which to me at least, other species don't feel alien really. Not as much as dionae at least. Overall lore? I like the details each species's pages go into it, and how easy it is to read and understand it in most cases, making it easy to play them while following lore. If you could change anything about the lore, what would it be?: Dionae lore specifically? Not much I would want to change, but I would like to add more details to certain parts, like how they live in different nations. Overall lore? I'd probably want to see more lore about species expanding into the fronteir of the fronteir, into uncharted space and all that. Maybe see a species or two added in lore, but not shown in the server itself outside of possibly event only stuff, or maybe merchants. I'd also like to see, as said in the other question, a bit more aliennes in the species we have. Additional Comments:

Hi, myself and @HouseOfSynth will be taking this. Give us a bit to look things over.

Hi, myself and @Goret will be taking this. Give us a bit to look over it and all that.

Hi, after looking over this, we see a staff action was already taken against them by arrow for this incident. As such, we will not be pushing for another, as it was already handled. This will be locked in around 24 hours.

Hi, myself and @nursiekitty are taking this, give us a bit to look things over.
