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.

I'm not sure I'd approve of only nerfing laser rifles. I think it's better to give security alternatives to the laser rifle, first of all, that don't force them to use lasrifles on solo antags - carbines are not an option as they suck both stylistically and physically. Some sort of AP stun gun needs to be added, is my thinking. Add another lethal gun and only then can you nerf lasrifles. Because they're meant to be powerful enough to allow security to go head to toe with mercs, otherwise it'd be a stomp, as merc assault rifles are ridiculously powerful - so much more powerful than laser rifles that it isn't even funny. And mercs can buy laser rifles off the uplink to just bypass the one counter to ARs which is ballistic armor. Additionally, some self-healing may need to be added to the uplink.

Accepted.

I remember that at the tail end of August you were very negative in LOOC about staff and antags, the latter of which you would be directly interacting with as CCIA and making or breaking their gimmick. In fact, I remember quite clearly that you used some very colorful adjectives. What changed since then? Why should I trust you now to not commit the same mistake?

A role like this fits the command WL more than the AI WL in my opinion. Arguments can be made for both, but ultimately the AI whitelist is specific to the AI due to a multitude of reasons (the interview and the expectations placed on you are all AI-related, for example).

Voting for dismissal. This is absolutely not the direction we want to go towards. I am also sure this isn't the first or second thread you've made about this exact same argument. It's just not going to happen.

On trial until 15NOV2021.
