As a person who is scared of IPC's but roleplay a woman who likes them and repairs them 24/7, i support this idea. How about making them feel as if they are real human beings and are germophobic? >

i like some of the ideas that could implement for robotics that makes their job easy, and makes more and more roleplay for Robotics to ask science to get these nice things for them. Good idea to be honest, although about the EOD gygax i am a little bit picky. Id rather have it with a chance to have it equiped with a hydrolic clamp so it can store the objects in its cargo hold and deliver the said dangerous explosives inside of it. (Kind of risky but hey, better have the mech exploded then a huge chunk of station flying away in space and hit unknown alien species and worship the debris as god ) Besides, if it is slow, hydrolic clamp will be the least of problem for people to run off from. Laser bots? All my yes. Though wished is had something like foyers it moves with. If it levitates then it goes in my book and i give all my yes. Brain removal machine? Hell yea! Reminds me of Fallout New Tactics.

Heh, then why dont be have BFG2000? ingame? I mean it's better to have green deathball flying towards you vaporazing you into tiny bitty pieces

10 outa 10, 10 outa 10. Best suggestion, omg please implent it, all my yes, DO IT! AGHDGSJKGLS

I am actually curios.. as to why people do not want plasma weaponry or Mag weaponry? Plasma, nearly like a combination of ballistics and energy weapons, fires projectiles but can melt you down into a puddle. And Mag weaponry as to magnetic. Coil guns, rail guns, you name it. (though both have different mechanics and are built differently, but nearly the same objects and materials required)

To clarify.. those 'beer bellies' are actualy the second hands you see from the mob when you look at them from the side perspective

This is something that is bothering me, and a lot of regulars here will to, and it is the behavior the community has developed in recent times. You may be wondering and asking, what i am writing about, so i'll be brief and try to be simple as possible. The community is starting to get more hostile more and more. I don't really, really, really do not know about the others on your thoughts if you noticed it, but lately, when i browse the forum, i see more hate then in-game, since we all have to hide our hatred due to rules. Maybe i am paranoid (which mostly has helped me in most cases i can recall) but, i can't help but notice, that, people will get more 'insulted', agitated, or angered if something doesn't go their way, but that is typical on SS13, nothing ever goes perfectly with out some one getting harmed/not involved. But the most frightening thing that bothers me, once people have had ton of bullshit to deal with (pardon my language), is the aftermath once they flushed their anger towards others. Now this isn't about a small OOC arguments about who has the best skirts in-game, but rather people being angry once they got worked up over somethings that really mattered to them, or it crossed their lines and they are "No, fuck this, and fuck you who did this!". I love this server for it has brought me a lot more entertaining time then AD13 with their 8 hour extended rounds, nothing happening. I remember the first time i joined, i was a fresh mop to everyone, anyone barely knew me, i acted childish over the time, while i still was improving my character, but the community was what entertained me most, the jokes i liked to read on OOC. Now, it is a battlefield on where people complain towards each other, not 24/7 but on some special occasions when some one feels really butt-hurt,complains to his rival, and they just grab each other by their throats debating, who shot first and released the singuloth. What i want to say on this post, is, why are you still playing here, what makes you come here, and what do you think we should do to improve our community to make it more friendlier for us, for new comers, and for those that left the server that we loved/liked most making them know that they still have a second chance here with us and still be a welcome sight back here, at Aurora, our home.

First off, brage.. Jesus. H. Christ.. what is that! Are you Texas boy or something? But anyway, to serious part, what about having a link that shows the person through a picture, like hand drawn art of your OC.

when you press F2 for OOC chat in skype.

If this is a must have feature you want me to include, i can surely add the information as to where she gained the knowledge and approval that she is decent. This may take sometime, since right now from this comment it is three in the morning +2gmt, and i've got lot's of work to do in real time. Of course it's not excuse but if it's a must, yea, i can expand the information towards her career, on how she got said knowledge.

I will hate my self, but what are your thoughts on Fortune? oh, i will hate myself for doing it.

A moment of silence to one of my best friend who i shall never forget and enjoyed playing with most. T^T7

Not to drift apart from the main title idea, but lately i'd say that most people do not wish to use the ripleys especially on mining because they know that ripley is slow, standart drill takes two seconds to be used up again once drilling, while a miner with one drill in hand can go a lot faster, and mine everything around. What i suggest is, that we are able to modify mechs entirely on Robotics with the help of research of course, something like Robot module upgrades the Vtec and etc. Not only will that compensate the late usage for the ripley, but miners will also be for once appriciated and they will ask from robotics ripleys more. Also, i was thinking of the possibility of making a really strong power sword for the combat mechs, but to obtain such equipment it asks for a lot of combat research, and inflicts fifty units of burn damage or sixty? Since Combat mech in close quarter should be a thing to be afraid of. Durand in melee has 40 force or 40 units of brute damage, but correct me if i am wrong. Also there is also already armour modules against melee or ranged, but i do like the idea of mesons,night visio and thermal, but mostly mesons so that the engineering or mining can use the ripley or mining.

I want to change the AI's law to act like a dolphin and always say 'Niiii~' all the time while borgs who are security swats the people with their stunbuttons because they are 'flys'.. while not being an antag.

Crest, i have gotten a lot about my play style, i was scolded from one side to the other and it's like an endless loop. Since i joined this server at all, i used to always baby sit the RnD, try my best to get the RnD research tech up, was immature, yes, and etc. And then the time came when people were pissed about it, then came the directives and more or less unincluded rule that people should work in their office doing their tasked jobs. Hell, i used to bug HoP and still sometimes do when ever there is no scientists and do some basic research levels so that i can do something in my lab, while not stripping the job completely from the scientists. I was scolded for being head on person, and now i am thought to be mind in my own lab, do my job on what i was asked to do, which is make syntetics, repair them and make mechs. Also the insult was just a joke of me, you shouldn't take it to deep into heart, that guy yes, was a dick, so i welded him in, why not. I also want to get some laughs so that i do not spun my brains and spin out of madness, because doing the same over and over is really really stressfull when you are so limited to 'research' anything new. She has a lot of experience. It was based due to fact that i played as a scientists before on other station, which was not mentioned i think, correct me if i am wrong, and help robotics and vice versa. Also yes, i ussualy do not tend to enjoy scientists jobs, because mainly, i know that most job there will be done, and.. it doesn't bring joy to me as it used to. It doesn't keep me occupied with work like i wished it should have, and that's why i join as Xenobiologist to keep my self up and sometimes ask assistance for help. As i said, this is a free policy comment section, so i am not mad at what you are commenting, you fairly even reminded me of my past how i used to play and people bragged about it, and not it is happening again.. You guys don't stop amusing me, but hey, no hard feelings, and i quiet enjoyed the read, thank you for the comment! *bows*

Floorlenght braids? Yes. Short braid? No. *Hisses!* ON TO THE TOPIC. Yes the hair styles just look hideous on most parts (the one the game has atm) for male characters mostly.

Not to stop the combo and be a combo breaker, but doesn't the map look like from the bays default medbay now? Don't get me wrong, i am not accusing or anything, but if we are to have a new medbay, why not make the default medbay that baystation now has into Aurora? I seen it myself, and i really like it from the looks of it. It is big, has two surgery rooms, and enough cryos and scanning beds for multiple treatment at once.. This is of course my thoughts really.

I will ya a nice +1 even though the old system is old, but hey, i have roleplayed with ya, liked your characters and enjoyed talking to them. Giving you a nice approval on headlists would already prove that you are ready to be just a mere person but a person with purpose to help others achieve something higher in time. If you do become a head, always get ready for the unexpected, and know that it is a hard work, but knowing you, i am sure you will deal with it with no trouble.

The Death ripley used to do damage with its clamp, but i think it's not on this server. I have made a forum for upgrading mechs via modules and numerous upgrades to improve them while giving also cons. Bigger armor means slower mech, lighter mech means more speed but lower armor rating, unless Science gets ludicrous research level for combat and material to make the materials more composite, durable and lighter that improves the stats with out giving cons. I had also posted additional weapons for mechs so it isn't always the same but then again, this would make mechs versatile, maybe op, but don't forget, to make op mechs it requires time and resources. More or less like an End Game time for Traitor Roboticists/scientists/Research directors.

No,no,no,no,no. I am not going to have this chat due to now trivial things like the hair color now. I understood previously that people already hated the cyan, floorlenght braid combo, but this is now to much for my heart to take on. I understand the concern as to why you want me to stop, but i really hate to do a debate right now. But, your vote is your vote, nothing i can stop.

That may have happened, and i was notified by admins by the 'powergaming' that was done. So what happened there? You were a witness, so was i, Mirk, deathly. Mirk barged into the Robotics frying the doors, which already raised alertness, so for safety, Fortune was getting her cell and cable coils in ready. At that point, Jamison was already inside the lab. From RP wise, i was little to none even untill he actually used the force gloves himself on Serenity. In human nature, people would subdue the aggressor, i would if i had the tools or possibility to do, and so i did. This of course concluded into a rather, awkward yet rather bad situation, yes, i know. We even got the admin attention as to what has happened. But everything was justified, to my knowledge. I had my intentions of making the stungloves and using them when it was necesary. It may seemed cheesy, to easy, but in my honest oppinion, trying to roleplay when the aggressor is with three people, he can barely deal with, is like shooting self with a pistol in the foot. If i cannot prove anything if you think that because this one thing happened already, it may or may not happen again. If you cannot be convinced, i am not mad about it, if i make you fell bad in any way, just say so, or if you have a grudge against me, i don't fee bad (Not implying that you may have just a figure of speech), but you should remember that what ever i do ingame can and are mostly justified from my point of view and can also be proved if the need arises for my actions. But still, this is a free policy commentary so, i accept your judgment and your choice of me being a head. If you have anything to add, go ahead.

I cannot deny on what you commented on my roleplay abilities with Fortune in your experience, and i agree with you, she was like a loose canon and wasn't at her best. It was.. i think months ago, a long time ago according to my calculations. At that time, i was still fresh to the server and i tried to blend in, quiet... clumsy if i must say. It was fun for me but since i realized that i was more or less as you described 'moderately immature' and from people comments some time ago, i had to adapt. I had to work on my 'second personality' i would say, and by some may say now that Fortune is acting more appropriate, some would say nothings changed, due to fact that they have not talked to Fortune or just still assume she has not changed one bit. I have played on robotics for multiple times, that i even know ins and outs and flaws of Robotics. The thing is, Fortune never likes having risks or odds against her, and always plans her tactics that puts her in advantage over her opponents, through other means. Manipulation, hacking. These are her skills she uses as her weapon, for instance the round once Fortune got herself three death borgs and even annihilated an ERT of four or five. She always macroed and planned her tactics further to keep that advantage. Ganking, please.. i really really hate using guns, because in my honest opinion, the gun fights are not good at 2D games.. Yes, maybe i do suck, and i am bad at it, but then again, if this game would have been an FPS game.. well.. That may change.. But that's is an 'IF' situation. Hostage taking was never Fortunes favorite part. It is risky, and it will 65% never go well, unless you are a clever bastard and know steps ahead. I am not like that person, and it is better to have the problem gone/dead/locked for the time being until new idea comes up on how to deal with it. As to how can people be sure that they will be good head in that position? You don't. Unless you have played the role before and know what is the worst case scenario and how to try and help/deal with it. This is a good question, and what i can answer to this is, everything has a start, and their actions on what they do in their current situation is what determines how good you are. Maybe it takes more tries than one, but in the end the results will show up and so does a conclusion. Anything else you wish to add, Blue?

Thank you for the comment but i am a He, just so you know. ^^" I just like roleplaying as a female character just so you know.. hurdur...

BYOND key: Swat43 Character names: Fortune Bloise, Recker Masan, Nydia King How long have you been playing on Aurora?: I do not actually know. I think it is no eight months? But i do remember joining somewhere around August or September. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: To prove my self that i can be reasonable and can reach new level of entertainment to myself and for the others and of course, proving my self that i have become better at something, and this may as well be one these things. Everything an experience, and i wish to experience this. Why did you come to Aurora?: Long story short, i roleplayed on one server, until i realised that not the people or the server was bad, but the admins on how the treat their player base was. They started to show how big of a genitals they had rather then being more reasonable, and try to improve community. I even told them they will get worse if they won't change their attitude, so i left them, because i knew, that place was no longer home, and founding Aurora was actually like needle in a hay stack. I searched through five servers for a place to call well, not like house, but a nice start and place to settle down. Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Yes, even to this day i still use BS12 wiki to help myself improve. Please provide well articulated and argumented answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about:It's an experience you make for others. I think of roleplay as a game where, sometimes you are actually in real life. You are you, and you will act like yourself in real life, and you make impresions of yourself, and this game rewards you of your own progress, how well you do it, and how real you are. Punishments are reward to, to remind you, that you actually done something wrong, so it drives you to change it, or maybe improve being such a character that maybe fails or just being a butt hole. When you roleplay, even as some one else, you are you, and you will have that small part of you inside the character, which you can improve. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?:HoS (Head of Staff), is and will always be the one that makes impact on new players or existing players of any deparment through their actions. They are a symbol, a mark for those that seek and expect from them only the best, and know where to go to for a piece of advice and help when the most need arises. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Everyone was once a starter. So was i. I learned the things from the best, observed and asked questions. As a whitelist, it is our duty to keep this circle going, by being helpful towards others, giving examples, giving them a chance, and notifying them what is wrong and what's not. Whitelisted person also must know that even if you are a head of staff, you are also that small part that helps community to build better roleplay, improve it and teach it to those who have nearly to none or some experience of it. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Fortune Bloise Character age: 31 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Fortune Bloise.. A mechanic, a syntetic Doctor, a person seeking meaning. twelve years after her graduation on Lowel city she had always wondered, what makes the person happy. Was it a good music taste, a hobby, or just.. simply living the human life? This thought sometimes always bothered her, when ever she took her daily stroll through her favorite park in her city during midnight, watching the stars deep in her thoughts. Her thoughts always changed from one to another always finding answers to these questions she sometimes gets in her head. Her whole time since she got applied to Liandri corp, her time was nothing but sketching and presentations of her new found ideas towards syntetics. It was a rather tiring job, as she usually always ends up in her bed, sleeping like a dead person, but overall she enjoyed it, since she has also met good friends at her job, and sometimes they all go a nice underground bar full of life and discuss events on what's happening in their lives. One day on a nice sunny weekend she was taking a small walk to keep her mind calm, untill she stumbled upon a nice vacant office, on which a random idea popped in her head. After multiple calls and deals, she bought the small vacant office and started outfitting it with numerous tools, and items. The whole office at her disposal for a nice "official" syntetic hospital was finished, and she made small posters of this place for syntetics in needs of repairs or other examinations. At this point, Fortune knew what she always wanted to be. What do you like about this character?: I like her, because she reflects me in a way. I feel me when ever i play her, because i have maybe put a lot of effort into this one character. But that is only an OOC reason. ICly, she finds answers in what she is looking for or have questions for. She is sometimes not ashamed when asking personal questions, which she has come across. What do you dislike about this character?: Sometimes she likes to be in her lab, and doesn't talk a lot to people, mainly due to reason that she has nothing to talk about to, or she will feel out of place. She never likes risks in her life. Do you think this character is fit to be a Head of Staff?: She has a lot of experience in Research and she is willing to learn things for her own interests and to help sharing this information towards anyone else through out her department. Why?: As mentioned earlier, everything has a start or everyone has a start at something. Helping them reach the end of the line of this information, it is appriciated to help the newcomers get up to speed, and not make them feel awkward due to things they may not know. Please provide well articulated and argumented answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: It really depends. I wouldn't ever say it is perfect. But nor is it bad that people would want to saw me with circular saw and dispose of me like a trash... So that is nice and keeps me going. It's from exceptionaly good, and of course, i am thriving to improve it if necesary. Extra notes: I love you bby's. No but really, i have nothing to add.

Sometimes on dead hours i join in as a baldie engineer, set up engine and then curse at everyone for being 'fucking yokels' and then go to cryo.. .-.
