This appeal is denied. You have already been permabanned twice and we do not allow more chances than that.

Voting for dismissal. This is going to give people the idea that this surgery should be used outside of cyborgification (which it should not). I don't want to see it used that way nor do I want to deal with it, as it'll be extremely uninteresting if not downright removal from the round without murder (remember CMD and how unfun it was for everyone involved? This is that, but worse).

We are serious, yes. Or at least, we try to be. Most of the time.

This complaint is a bit anemic in information. Could you explain to us exactly: What happened this round that caused the IR? Why exactly do you think the IR was mismanaged?

Application denied. Other than the lack of feedback, I do not believe the character you have chosen is appropriate to be a head of staff, nor that you are ready to play a CMO. If you have questions, you may DM me on Discord: mattatlas#0230

You have absolutely no grounds to call me out on passive aggressiveness on a (not even charged, if I'm being honest) statement like that when you had just accused me of racially profiling you. I didn't even see this LOOC exchange because I was busy with playing the game, RPing with people and handling your ticket. I don't know what you want me to say about an exchange I literally did not know about. You made this statement. This is derailing and nothing more.

I'll address this one by one. I'm not sure on which grounds you can claim that I was "very disrespectful" in the ticket. Here are the full ticket logs: I have not once in this ticket been "disrespectful" towards you, I believe your conduct here speaks for the rest. None of what I said is passive aggressive either - you intentionally tried to derail the ticket, you tried accusing us of "racial profiling" of all things, so yes after you do something like that I am going to get more curt with you. I am more than justified in telling you that if you don't comply with a ruling you'll be banned, since staff actions in-game are final. LOOC chatter was not related to the adminhelp at all. This is conjecture. Let's look at what the wiki says. If you extrapolate, and these are your own words, "implying that Central/West Africans would never name their son Samuel and must follow strict naming rules otherwise they wouldn't be African enough" for this, then I have never in my life seen a more bad faith argument. We do enforce naming rules for certain places (see Gadpathur, for example) because they're colonized by a certain area and we'd like to see that area represented. Our playerbase is 99% Western and thus naturally trends towards making Western characters. Of course this is not a problem, but it'd be a believability issue if you could have John Smith the Eridanian, as I mentioned in your ticket, when Eridani is colonized entirely by CAR/West Africa: thus, we enforce representation of these cultures (through naming/skin complexion). It is possible for someone to theoretically name their child something completely incoherent with where they're from, but that's not what we want represented from that planet. That representation would be really shallow at that point, because everyone would be justified in naming their character "Sam Knight" or whatever other western name. So no, it's not allowed if it doesn't fit the established background of the planet's peoples on the wiki. Edit: After being given some more information in DMs, I am willing to permit the usage of the name Samuel.

Unbanned.

I can unban you, but any repeats of the funny "say/post something nsfw and then delete it" are going to result in an unappealable permaban. Understand?

Seems like a nonissue to me. People will write "chief of security" since they've always fully written "head of security" before in command radio.

Not sure how? People have called the HoS "chief" for ages.

Closed. Not enough feedback.

Make one in the appropriate section.

Two things: 1. Player names will not be accepted and if I see one being put in a PR, I am going to not even give it the time of day. 2. Either this cat replaces Runtime, or it does not get added, non-negotiable.

If you disagree with a ban, you should post a staff complaint. Unban requests are for when you understand you were banned and agree with the reason why.

Apologies, this slipped through the cracks. I understand that March and April were low activity months due to the NBT, so I will give this an extra week. Please acquire some feedback.

I will have to deny this application for a number of reasons. Primarily the lack of feedback, but I also have some concerns about your roleplay quality. Things like spelling, writing and grasp on the English language are fairly fundamental elements of roleplay even if it may come across as a bit of an overstatement at first. Additionally, as stated on the guidelines, you may not apply with a Consular character for the head of staff whitelist. This restrictions includes Liaisons, since it's the same job slot. It may be a bit unclear however, so I will update the guidelines to better reflect this.

A stowaway ghost spawner with a very low chance (so it doesn't happen for rounds on end) could be interesting, but a dedicated stowaway role will not happen.

I meant to accept this a week ago and forgot. Accepted.

He apologises for his incomplete understanding of the syntax and grammatical rules, and spelling of words, of the Tau Ceti Basic language, as he speaks a language that is, in fact, not Tau Ceti basic, which is most likely evidenced to them, the reader, who is most likely a homo sapiens sapiens, unlike him, a tajara sapiens sapiens, by the fact that the Tau Ceti Basic he wrote this sentence to them in was syntactically and grammatically incorrect and contained spelling errors, and probably assumed to be Tajaran as the structure of his sentence corresponds to the stereotypical faux bad Tajaran attempt at Tau Ceti Basic known to those of their species who speak Tau Ceti Basic. What was their immediate and precise location when Hadii, a great Tajaran hero who led them to victory and frequently idolized by teenagers, young adults and adults of our species for the purpose of having a strong leader with which to rely on and finally feel safe at home with their country being in good hands after a very long period of admittedly incompetent noble rule due to many factors such as corruption, manslaughter, murder, racial tension, racial discrimination that they may call the 'Njarir period', also known as 'The Pre-Revolution Adhomian Kingdoms', was killed? He, personally, was at his place of residence, assumedly a house built with materials such as, and in no particular order, brick, mortar, plaster, copper, iron, glass, wood, plastic and concrete, consuming a processed n'fri-hi based, savoury snack with a dry, crispy texture and coated with cheese-like flavouring as a fine powder, known as the 'N'frito', when his telecommunications device, in this case either a landline bluespace phone, a hardwired device connected to an extranet network (usually running in bluespace) for the propose of transferring his voice with no latency to places a distance from my home that would otherwise be too far for the recipient to hear, or a mobile telephone, which works on a similar principle to the bluespace phone however uses bluespace waves anywhere from 600 to 6000 THz, depending on one's country of residence and extranet service provider, to transmit one's voice, produced a sound, as it is designed to do, to alert him to the fact that there was a person using their own extranet device in an effort to contact me. The individual, whose voice was transmitted to him through the extranet device the individual reading this text imagines the aforementioned individual to be speaking to him through (most likely determined by the reader's age, as there has been a close to linear decline in households with bluespace telephones since approximately 2450), spoke, assumedly in the same language that he was speaking, and said to me, "Hadii is kil", which the reader is likely to assume was in him native language as it also contains poor grammar, syntax and spelling. This sentence informed him that the Tajaran hero known as Hadii was kil. This shocked him, as he enjoyed being under the great leadership of Hadii, a fine example of the geniuses his species could produce. This is evidenced by his inability to say more than a single word in response to the news of the leader's demise. Unable to fully articulate the intensity of my feelings or thoughts regarding the shocking news that was just communicated to him through the telecommunications device I was holding, he said a single word that reflected these inner processes and captured the essence of his disbelief that something so important to him had ended: "no".

My honest reaction:

Closing because this is one hell of a necropost.

Won't happen, since Service Manager has been removed.

Accepted.
