Apologies for the really late reply, some discussions plus life happened. Accepted.

I quite like this. Accepted.

Oh, the accessories are fine, it's just the labcoat that we think is a bit "contrasting".

I spoke to the skrell lore team about this item - it's really cool, but some of them believe that the color layout on the purple/white coat is very close to the Zeng-Hu colours (of the labcoat too). Is it possible that the two colors could be inverted, or the purple could be made darker?

Give it a try, the sprites aren't half bad.

Alrighty then! Am I good to move this into the archive?

See, here's the issue: normal custom items can and are often character-specific items, or items with a character-specific twist to it: at the very least, you can make a compelling enough argument to go "yeah, not many people would have this" and leave it at that. This isn't really applicable to AI displays is the problem: they're not really character-specific and can't really be. I guess this is fine.

I think my only concerns about these are: a) whether implementing custom AI displays is even possible, which I don't think it is at the moment, but I may be wrong; b) why this is a Borealis-specific thing and why these shouldn't just be added as AI displays for everyone.

See the second part of the post: it's intentional that you don't have to step down as a species lore dev if you become the deputy loremaster, so it doesn't make sense to -1 someone for it.

Being the loremaster and a maintainer of a species is impossible, as it says in the lore doc that you must step down as the maintainer of a species if you get selected as the lore master, but this doesn't apply for loremaster deputies, since they're still under someone's eye (the lore master).

i was just following orders

I will unban you, but if you do anything even remotely in the same way, the ban will be reapplied and probably not lifted. Ban lifted.

Denied.

While I don't personally think that the service manager is worth it mechanically, I think it's worth giving it a shot at the very least. I think there are some cool character concepts that could utilize some of the less-used lore (Silversun, for example) that may make things more interesting.

I think it is about time we add more human languages and open the shores up a bit more for everyone, to say the least, so I support this. However, TCB should remain obligatory for everyone.

You didn't put Sil Aclipsa's name here. Why did you make Aclipsa a CMO without changing your application or notifying me?

Denied. Not enough feedback.

Denied. You should try again in a month or two, after you've fixed the problems outlined here. Getting some more feedback would be advantageous too.

When I PM'd you about this, you did not take anything I said seriously. You are still not taking this seriously. Why should I unban you?

Voting for dismissal, because this does not fit thematically.

Technologically, I'd say Jargon, Elyra and then Biesel. Militarily, Sol, Jargon, Elyra. Economically, Biesel, Elyra and then Sol. I don't think it's fair to say the CoC has a strong economy when it's basically Xanu and a bunch of allies with sparse populations. Sol is much more centralized, owns Earth (which is extremely densely populated and iirc home to quite a few megacorps), New Hai Phong and has the ECF as a soft protectorate. The ECF isn't a superpower in my opinion. They can't do fuck all in the grand scheme of things.

Do you have sprites for this?

Alright.

The feedback is a bit underwhelming. Have you been trying to collect any?

Trial started on 8DEC2021 and will end on 15DEC2021.
