Looks good to me. Pretty sweet jacket, sweet backstory, sweet dude. +1

Some weapons suck more. Point is, no one weapon has a significant chance to one hit kill other than shotguns with lethal rounds or antag AMRs/revolvers.

No. Buckshot is a one and done deal. You have to keep firing with a laser rifle to kill. Buckshot is instant death if you're hit by a volley and you're not lucky with armor absorbs. IB, bone breaks, tons of shrapnel. Sure, it's worse than slugs, but still stupid for antags.

This is the problem.

https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/6940/files Not electromagnets but it will do.

There is no way to balance shotguns. They will either be too overpowered or too weak. I completely disagree with shotguns even being in the armoury, since there's no solution to their problem, and there should be some other kind of weapon added to fill the gap. Let's not go back to the days of 2017 where every ninja/wizard/whatever was shot once with a slug and had to die to shrapnel. Which they still will here, even if you nerf the shotgun, because they'll be paincrit by it. Not considering the ability to get bone breaks etc.

I think there are more cons to this than pros. For example; lowpop effectiveness, the fact that the security roster just doubled (and that more will be able to go after a single antag), and how complicated this will look to new players.

Okay, sure. Unbanned. Let me make this clear: Your next major offense will most likely never be able to be appealed.

What do you think you did wrong? What changes from your last appeal, where you appealed a permaban then came back and immediately started doing the same stuff that got you banned?

the dude feels more like an untagged shell than a human im not gonna lie

People dying easily, while realistic, does not mesh with HRP. People do not want to die and reject the very idea of dying. I agree with you, but it's best to leave these pipe dreams in the drawer. Also, hardlocking shit to being for antags is a terrible idea. I was considering adding very painful shrapnel removal with a knife too, might look into this when I'm home.

Khaled did not fucking give me gun to kill antag. Shit head of security. Fucker. Mark Price and his brother, Mark Pryce were better. At least they gave me gun to kill antag. I just want to kill traitor in vault and he says 'no, not yet'. Fucking dumb hos telling me not to rush into hostage situation. Why? I need valids bro! Stupid fucker. Stupid. Remove khaled al bastaki.

Immersion shattering is not an argument you can use for Wizard. Hard disagree on nuking it like this. You're more than capable of giving it a charge or a recharge timer. So why straight up remove it? This is legitimately something that can create the most RP out of anything in a Wizard's kit. It's only LRP or whatever when it's being spammed as an offensive option. So, just get rid of that and give it a charge. People will consider their usage of the staff more since it's now a few-time usage tool.

+1 was big good hop during peacekeeper event - good character and good head

another whitelist will never work nor will it ever be done because it's the opposite of what should be done - we don't need more whitelists to play antags

DERELICT ROLES DERELICT ROLES Survivors in the new away missions. Distress signal kinda shit. It'd incentivize people actually using them.

the last post here was on may 6

No. I was the unathi merc in robotics.

Basic Information Byond Account: - MattAtlas. Character Name(s): - Emily Cress, Luo Jingyi, Kyong Su-Yeongseon. AI Name(s): - I don't play AI. Discord username + tag: - mattatlas#0999 Age: - 17 Timezone: - GMT+2 When are you on Aurora?: - Basically everyday for at least four hours. Experience How long have you played SS13?: - Three years, going up on four. How long have you played on Aurora: - Three years. How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: - I'd say I know just about everything except integrated circuits. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: - I was a secondary admin here and a moderator on CM. Have you read through the criteria thread; https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4198 - and believe that you mark off all the criteria?: - Yes, I do believe I mark off all the criteria. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: - I haven't been banned. Personality Why do you play SS13?: - It's pretty much one of the only roleplay avenues I know of - the general setting is one of my favourites and the mix of roleplay and mechanics is very good. It also has that element of chaos you can't find anywhere else. Why do you play on Aurora?: - It's the best HRP server there is by far and large. Even though I burn out, I keep coming back to it. It also has one of the few good communities in this game, and I'd say it's probably the one I like the most. Sure, there are a few bad apples, but that's true for any community, and what matters is that here it's mostly good apples. What do moderators do?: - Handle tickets on-server, discord moderation, forum moderation and player complaints. Handling tickets also means answering mundane questions, and not just "help I got ganked". What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: - Even though you're only a moderator you still represent the server. You're the biggest administrative body and are expected to handle on-server issues. You enforce rules on the server, mentor new players if necessary, answer gameplay questions, handle complaints, moderate the discord and forums and keep the server's atmosphere intact. Why do you want to be a moderator?: - This is kind of a hard question for me to answer, because it's always been natural to me. However, if I had to pin it down, I'd say it's the current lack of lowpop moderators being infuriating. Other than that, I do want to help the server in some way - as it turned out, CCIA wasn't for me. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: - I have previous experience, the ability to know that this is still a game and good judgement. I'm very capable of keeping a cool head in arguments and I can see if I'm wrong. I don't like dancing around the point with useless fluff. so my responses are usually short and concise, which I'd consider a good quality. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: - I don't think I care much about any of those. I'm perfectly capable of just handing the ticket to someone else if I get too involved with it, even with how improbable that is. Anything Else You Want to Add: - I'm just going to get this out of the way since I know it's gonna be asked. I quit CCIA because it was not to my liking. I didn't like being CCIA and it felt like a chore, otherwise I would've stayed. Being a moderator is something I'm much more familiar with and something I'd stick with.

Hello, Nossar here. None of this is out of context - she looted a dead warden in that round and took their vest/shotgun/belt to... well, defend people, I guess? The encounter outlined in the OP happened in south robotics, in the hallway. I had some people hostage in robotics to repair a fellow merc and told Green to drop the shotgun and walk away with a C20-r out, in their immense wisdom they shot at me. It didn't make much sense all things considered.

I would -1 you because you disagree with the cloak removal, but you're a good roleplayer and I like your characters, so +1. I don't have doubts about your ability to be a good head of staff as I've seen plenty from you.

There is literally a dude IRL who uses a super expensive car frame as a WALL DIVIDER in his motherfucking living room. This isn't an issue.

Aren't slimes very closely related to phoron? If they are, wouldn't this be a "rich person item"? Because I would absolutely support that more than just another reskinned prosthetic. Slarms are pretty cool and open the gate to other weird shit like weaponized diona prosthetics.
