I actually made a form that I use for cargo so you can charge your department for orders (If you have someone with that department's bank account that is)

1. Thanks for letting me know, I added them in now. 2. The "Carl Smith" that was there was actually B.O.B and B.O.B 2.0, I just have them in as a separate character for convenience, so I edited the correct names in. The character that the application focuses on, Bob Jones, might not be memorable since he spends most if not all of the shift in the safety of Cargo. 3. The college has a human headmaster so Bob Jones can realistically learn there, and it provides the education he desires. Also there is likely translators or something for people who speak Sol Common or Tau Ceti Common since Nanotrasen hires most of the graduates.

This should be locked and put in archive, the person didn't even fill out the whole application and it feels like it was rushed, -1.

Merchant gets a energy pistol at beginning, all I see this is a excuse to be one of the chosen to play as, or in this case, with, the Merchant. I never seen Merchant using his/her/it's gun yet, so that already shows how even antags likely won't try to take over ship.

BYOND key: ben10083 Character names: Bob Jones - Quartermaster Ben Smith - Warden B.O.B/B.O.B 2.0 - AI/Cyborg How long have you been playing on Aurora?: I have been playing since August 2017. Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I am roleplaying a character that went from a good job as a Roboticist to a lowly Cargo Technician, the character climbed up to Quartermaster and wishes to become a Head of Personnel Why did you come to Aurora?: To play a high-rp server that actually allows you to get stuff done and do things other servers don't have the time to do. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: I have, and I am anxious to see how I will fare as a HoP and how fast I can master the art of paperwork. 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: Roleplaying, in a game or in real life, is a way to express yourself in different ways, you could be a ruthless capitalist that only strives for that extra credit instead of their fellow man, or you can be a man of facts that doesn't let things like "feelings" get in their pursuit of knowledge. Roleplay should be a chance for people to try new things and act differently, they can act mean or nice, smart or dumb, and many more things. Its impossible to find two characters that are alike in everyway, as everyone has different ways of expressing themselves, and that is how it should be. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: A Head of Staff is someone who helps model a round, their actions can take someone out of round, or make it horrible, it can also allow people to try new things, like being a interim HoS and finding out firsthand what it is like to be a command member, although temporary. A Head of Staff also helps people get into the game, by giving orders and insight to what you should be doing as a certain job. The Heads of Staff are also able to answer questions newcomers have and help them do their job right. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: A Whitelisted player is someone who the community thinks is ready to become on of the most powerful people in the round short of some antags. They are excellent at helping people learn how to play, and I hope to be someone that people know they can learn how to play from, I also intend to give them links to wiki pages that can make their jobs MUCH easier. The players are also responsible for making sure they don't ruin the fun of other players if they can, and should avoid meta/power gaming. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Bob Jones Character age: 76 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Bob Jones was born into a wealthy family, with his father being a expert Roboticist and coming from a long line of Roboticist. His family guided him on the path of being a Roboticist and Bob Jones eventually went to Mar's University to get a degree in Robotics. When he graduated, his father used his connections to get him a job at the HRS Lemnos as a Roboticist. It was everything Bob DREAMED of.....at least he thought so. His job was simply cyborg maintenance, with the occasional lobotomy to make more cyborgs. He quickly become bored and depressed about how his whole life led to this, and daydreamed constantly, which led to a accident while preforming a lobotomy. He was careless and forgot to ensure anesthetic tank was full when it was nearly empty, the tank ran out and the patient panic seeing Bob about to severe his brain stem. The patient started resisting causing Bob's scalpel to puncture multiple times in the patient's brain. By the time security and medical arrived the patient was unconscious and heavily bleeding. Bob Jones was arrested and his father used a decent portion of his funds to hire a excellent lawyer that managed to reduce Bob's charges to Neglect of Duty with the punishment being Bob being fired and given a hefty fine. Bob's Father payed for the fine and soon after went into retirement due to old age, and Bob went off to try to find a new job. Bob soon found out that no one will hire a Roboticist after seeing his criminal record and he had to settle for a job at the NSS Antlia as a Cargo Technician. Bob soon fell into a depression and barely did any work until one day he met a Quartermaster that changed his life forever. It was a person of high class that whipped Bob and the others into shape and quickly made cargo a cash making machine. Bob was amazed by the QM's brilliance and begged him to be his mentor, the QM agreed after hearing his story and over the course of 4 years taught Bob everything he knew. The QM directed Bob to a college that he can attend to get a degree that will allow him to become a QM, and before the QM retired he gave Bob his spare cane as a memento. Bob quickly attended and graduated at The Nal'tor College of Career Excellence with a associates degree in economics. Bob was able to then get a job on the NSS Aurora as a Quartermaster. Bob, like his mentor, started making cargo work efficiently and quickly started adding a steady stream of income to the cargo account. Bob, although he loved his job as QM, wanted to climb the ranks and went back to The Nal'tor College of Career Excellence to get a bachelors degree in Personnel Management. Bob then applied for the position of Head of Personnel. What do you like about this character?: I love playing this character since its enjoyable to try to manage a department where funds ACTUALLY matter, and anything can go wrong. What do you dislike about this character?: He always walks with a cane since its of great personnel value to him and it can be annoying to work with only one hand open. What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: He is very good at organizing his cargo staff to make his department efficient and profitable and has the initiative to help all the other departments stay efficient. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I would say around a 6, I can roleplay but can sometimes forget to act a certain way in certain situations (Hard to think of what your character would say when they are being attacked.) Notes: Couldnt find a application format for Head of staff (or maybe I overlooked it) so if I missed any questions let me know.

What they mean is that most jobs they want are taken at round start so they want Merchant to be able to change their name, One day the stars aligned to me and I got Merchant, but I was a NT character so they let me change my name.

The last point is a little badly phrased, so I'm failing to understand it properly, I'm afraid. What he means is that the console should charge for order automatically without needing a EPTOS scanner to have them pay. To add, if this feature is to be added, it should say stuff like: "Order submitted successfully, account charged." or "ERROR: order unable to be submitted, insufficient funds."

Ok I see what you mean.

We all know that A: HoP will almost certainly just order a cargo guy to check, and B. cargo usually isn't staffed well in terms of the....cargo part of cargo.

We still end with same problem where Merchant has to walk over to safe to get cash when he can go to ATM or use a EPTOS scanner to make transactions and secure credits.

I got lucky one time as QM and sold like 80 crystals of Phoron and even with cargo at 15k one .45 with ammo cost a decent portion of that.

It would suck for ANYONE I like this, like have Merchant have some random bank firm and NT charges a 25 fee to use their ATMs

Their orders are usually like 3k so if anything I will let them pass on my cargo handling fee as QM (100 credits)

It makes sense to also give the merchant ship a ATM on-board so the merchant can deposit his/her/it's sales without leaving the ship.

The cargo order already does the tracking thing, but it doesn't notify you any any change, so you would have to go back to cargo office to check on the status of your order.

tbh I just say they get "refunded" what it costs them when they complain about it when they order

-person has long spear stuck in his chest- "I have concluded after a advanced and thorough body scan that the subject has a long spear impaled in his chest." Jokes aside I am for this.

Yeah I am all for this, it will also stop the people whining in common in all caps when they get arrested by sec.

antags do this all of the time, are you serious? They usually do it because the person immediately screams on radio "HELP I AM BEING KIDNAPPED BY [NAME]" and that triggers aim

.,,,u wot m9? You're god damn right i expect people to surrender. Security or armed individuals are an exception. I absolutely expect an engineer to do what the fuck i say because if he doesn't he WILL die. You risk your life WAY more if you try to escape, its not like they will make you surrender than immediately kill you and spam *snap while they say "get rekt boi" in LOOC... The point of hostage is that it deters security from rushing in.

4,) spam *snap because APPARENTLY that is the new thing theses days

The *snap/*slap/*vomit isn't helping things either.

yeah, it will also put other ideas back to top to be seen.

I am almost certain that we have a civilian account for the service department.
