Richter is not allowed to be a command member, due to the fact that they've undergone far too many changes. To be specific, they went from officer, to warden, to head of security, to officer, to chemist, to officer and now to a command staff position again. These are far too many changes and edits, so many that it would be unbelievable for your character to end up in a command position again. This behaviour of constantly changing your character and using the same one for command staff again also doesn't show us that you've changed since your last whitelist strip or that you're capable of changing. Edit this application with another character.

Application now on trial, will end on 26AUG2018.

Application accepted.

I'd like to know why you deemed this question as irrelevant, despite it being in an application.

As I've said several times during your DMs with me, the behaviour is not the main issue and is just an additive to the main issue. I do not see why you keep bringing it up as your only point. I will also add that similiarity does not equal to carbon copy. If something is the same as something else, it's not similiarity, it's being the same thing. Now, onto the main point. The issue isn't that they were similiar. It's not a case of being similiar here. It's a case of being a carbon copy, as I've already told you on our quite long discord DMs. As I've also already said in DMs, you have to understand our point of view as well. Someone by the name of Marc Price gets suspended. A week passes, and someone by the name of Marc Pryce joins, played by the same person, in the same role, with the same look. What do you honestly believe we should've thought? The names are the same. The look is the same. You absolutely cannot justify joining as essentially the same person with "the records and the age are different". It's very very farfetched. You can't bring up the person playing Mark Price here either - not only is it not played by the same person who plays the original Marc Price, thus completely different in context and not applicable here, they were also handled by a staff member. This doesn't help your point. Had you put effort into making the two characters different, I'm 100% sure you would've altered the hair style. Furthermore, let's take a look at the image you used, Synnono's quite. This is the same person that is in charge of the same department that handed you your punishment, and you did essentially the same exact thing that they told you is DISCOURAGED to do. If you wished to tempt fate by directly going against what they discouraged, I'm not sure what to tell you, other than you should've definitely expected this.

Chaplain is a relic kept only to be used by mostly shitters and should be removed. People who complain about not getting any antag interactions as cargo/civilian/medical really get under my skin. Sometimes, very rarely, and fortunately not lately, I wish I could ban people for logging in.

I do have a question. Why did you DM Coalf for explanations and questions about your whitelist strip rather than the person who DM'd you about it? Moreover, why did you go to Coalf to ask if the punishment could be lessened?

Application (finally) accepted.

This sounds like a bandaid fix and not a real fix. If the round now is shit because of too many antags, the round with this change will be shit because there aren't enough antags.

Apologies, but that unban appeal was your last chance. I am not willing to lift a second permaban this close to when it was applied at all. It doesn't matter that this is a 'different' situation, you were permabanned once and continued breaking the rules nonetheless. I may be willing to lift this ban in January. For now, appeal denied.

BYOND Key: - MattAtlas Character Names: - https://i.imgur.com/iEvaTca.png Species you are applying to play: - Vaurca What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): - RGB 20,20,55 Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: - Yes. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race: - Vaurca, to me, are recently the only species that I felt were actually alien. After applying for Skrell and Unathi, I realized I wanted to play something that was more alien. And the Vaurca fit that description perfectly. They are immensely different from any other species, being insectoid and not humanoid in nature, having a hivemind, thriving on a substance harmful to just about every other species and so on. The differences are quite frankly too many to list, and that makes me want to play the species. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: - This question, in my case, overlaps with the previous one. But let's go over the main differences again. First of all, the Vaurca are, more importantly, divided in Unbound and Bound, where the Unbound are the only ones that have the concept of 'free will', while the Bound are simply drones that obey orders. There is a distinction between Warrior and Worker vaurcae as well, they view the world differently than other species do, they have their own different hives and so on. There is just so much to list, but that is the gist of it. Character Name: Ka'Akaix'Eni C'thur Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs What do you like about this character? - This ties into one of the previous questions. I like this character because it is alien. There will obviously be many issues that Eni would come across that weren't there before. Other species being one of them, more discrimination as well, members of different hives and such. I believe this will be very fun to roleplay, and provide a good dynamic. How would you rate your role-playing ability? - I do not like rating my roleplay skills on a scale of 1 to 10 -- it doesn't represent skill well. I'll say I'm an average roleplayer. I can separate myself from my character and can make decent stories. I can get into my character's mindset as well, but there are issues I have. Mainly with coming up with interesting character stories.

Jamchop's a consistently good roleplayer, and not one that I wouldn't trust with a skrell application. Elianabeth's questions answered all of my doubts. Interesting character concept and a good roleplayer should mesh well. +1.

So, what changed from your previous permaban appeal? You were permabanned, given a second chance, and were permabanned again. Why should I unban you, knowing this?

Sure. The admin you spoke to (and the banning admin) was me. Now that I've heard your side of the story, it's all good. I'll lift the ban. If you at all can and if this happens in the future, please do tell us about D/Cs using 3rd party means like discord.

Very well. Locking and archiving. Ruling in favour of QueenOfYugoslavia.

ASSIST still best synthetic Harmony is cool though

Accepted after a successful trial.

https://pastebin.com/Ef2uUGyz Interview with the applicant.

Unfortunately I cannot lift this ban, as lifting the mirror would just get you banned again, and I do not want to lift the original ban. I am afraid echo711 must appeal first.

Hello. I will be handling this complaint alongside LilahNovi.

Binning as this has received no response from the author.

I am sorry, but that is highly unlikely in your current circumstance. Are you absolutely, 100% sure you have no idea who echo711 is? It looks to me very much like you two are siblings playing in the same house, given that you update BYOND at the same time + have the same IP. Lying does not help.

I'll be contacting you for an interview soonTM.

So, could you tell me why you and echo711 played from the same IP and why you had BYOND updated at the same intervals?

Very good. Complaint resolved in favour of Synth then. Locking and archiving.
