Mcspizzy's statement contains several inaccuracies. First, I did not promote myself at the beginning of the shift. I only did so after there was a murder and reports of an unknown being on the station. Mcspizzy also neglected to mention that I was not fleeing; I was leaving to deal with a borg that disposaled an engineer; SleepyWolf can vouch for that. Mcspizzy cornered me in robotics, and I tried to explain the situation. Her response was for her and another officer to stunbaton me into submission, without giving me a chance to turn myself in. They restrained me; however, I managed to escape, and ran. I made it to EVA storage when they started shooting at me; it was only at THAT point that I drew my laser rifle. Like Mcspizzy said, my intent was to use it on them, but in self-defense. Besides,t he laser rifle was the first thing that I grabbed; I didn't have time to go sifting through my belt for my taser. And you don't need a warrant to search or arrest someone if the illegal/suspicious behavior is witnessed by a security officer. I should also mention that they used excessive force detaining me and while I was being processed. Mcspizzy's character did not give me a chance to explain my side of the story. ANd when I messaged in LOOC "You're regretting arresting me now, aren't you~?", it was because a shambling horror was rampaging throughout security, and I was basically saying that if she hadn't arrested me, I could have gotten into the armory and armed her with lethals to take care of it. Mcspizzy, you seem to have forgotten something important: WHen you tell the truth, either the tell whole truth, or don't tell the truth at all. The fact that Mcspizzy neglected to mention these facts makes his/her intentions clear. ANd about the crew member that was caught breaking into a secure section, that was not true at all. I did not strip them of their gear and put them into a cell. I delegated the processing to another officer, due to another issue that came up. If I recall correctly, I tasked Mcspizzy's character with processsing them. If she neglected to process the character, then that's on him/her. Right after I was apprehended, Mcspizzy commented in LOOC, "I really hope they're [my char] not an antag" To me, this sounds like Mcspizzy was deliberately looking for an opportunity to file a complaint against me. Mcspizzy, I do not appreciate your skewing the facts to portray me in a bad light. If you have an issue with me, please discuss it with me like a mature person.

I can understand your opinion, Ven. As for the incident with the borg, the borg was slaved to the station AI, and was performing antag-like actions. I had never had to deal with this situation before, so I honestly didn't know that you had to have permission from the captain first. However, there was no excuse for SSDing when I was caught as the traitor warden. To be precise, I wasn't being taken in for being an antag, I was being taken in for neglect of duty. That was my first time playing warden, though, so I didn't really know what the position of warden entails. Now that I know, however, I've realized that warden isn't a good fit for me. For the incident with wanting to put the person in solitary, the perp in question murdered three people. Given this, I didn't think communal was a good idea. As for assuming that comms were compromised when raiders talked on the common channel, I did not know prior to this that the general comm channel was not encrypted. Given that the Aurora II is a research station, I assumed it would be to prevent corporate espionage. And when I ghosted out of a sec officer to play ERT during a code red situation, my character had a punctured lung, and was on the verge of death. And I was not getting treatment when I ghosted; the doctor treating me had to leave the operating theatre for an unspecified reason. Again, I can understand your opinion. If you think I need some more time before applying again, I'm willing to accept and respect that.

Sorry I didn't include much about her NanoTrasen career, I didn't think it was that relevant. I also didn't want to write too much in her bio. If you want, though, I can expand on it.

I do see improvement within him, he is better now as I had to deal with him being a lot worse as the station AI when he first started playing a little while ago and he seemed understanding then. If I find a turn around with his mistakes, I would see no reason to give a +1. Thank you, Sonic. I'm always open to criticism, as long as it's valid and constructive, and presented politely. Even if the criticism is valid, bashing someone is not going to convince someone that they need to change. All it does is provoke conflict. If my whitelist application is accepted, I would appreciate it if people would provide advice and constructive criticism based on my performance.

BYOND key: Character names: Sara Cruz, Mayu Ooyama How long have you been playing on Aurora?: For about two years Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: Why did you come to Aurora?: Because I heard about the game from a friend Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Yes, I have read them. Multiple times. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: Roleplay is acting out a fictional event, most of the time as a fictional character. It allows us to interact and connect with people who have similar interests. I believe roleplaying should be about having fun. However roleplaying should not be one-sided. Roleplaying requires the involvment of everyone participating. If one person isn't participating, it ruins the experience/fun for everybody. Roleplaying is a way to exercise your creativity and your imagination, so boring/cliched characters/scenarios/events are a serious detriment to the roleplaying experience. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: I believe it is to keep an eye on their subordinates to make sure they're not powergaming/metagaming. While a player may anticipate possible threats to the station, the level of action taken to prepare for this possibility can sometimes be considered borderline metagaming/powergaming. As such, it is the job of the Head of Staff to rein is such players while doing it ICly. However, even the best of us isn't perfect, so that's why there's a set of checks and balances in place among the different Heads of Staff positions. If a Head of Staff is taking actions that are borderline powergaming/metagaming, the checks and balances that exist allow the other Heads of Staff to ICly bring said Head of Staff back into line without having to resort to ahelping. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: To set an example by showing other players how proper roleplaying is conducted. A whitelisted player is someone who has been approved by the admins and community as a good fit for a head of staff position, meaning they are an example that other players should look up to, and strive to better themselves. As such, I will do my best to follow the rules, both IC and OOC. As a Head of Staff, I will help guide the players under my command into doing their jobs to the best of their ability, while also ensuring that none of them overstep their position. If another Head of Staff is exceeding their authority, I will consult with said Head of Staff and inform them of that fact ICly. I will only ahelp as a last resort, if all other methods have failed. Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions. Character name: Sara Cruz Character age: 38 Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Sara Cruz was born and raised on Yahzeeb, a small colony world out in the frontier. She displayed a strong desire for military service starting at an early age. At sixteen years of age, she got a waiver from her parents, and was able to join the planetary militia. She displayed a decent aptitude for leadership, though she could be a bit overbearing at times. Although Yahzeeb was a small colony on the frontier, since pirate raids were common, their militia was well-equipped. During a Syndicate-sponsered pirate raid, Sara's unit was assigned to protect a suburban town. Her squad was designated as the rear guard, while the remainder of the platoon pushed forward. As they approached an intersection, two Synidcate exosuits positioned down the road opened fire on them, the rain of weapons slowly tracking towards them. The buildings around them were either leveled or completely burned out, abandoned cars providing the only sufficient cover. Because exosuits have greater endurance, retreat was out of the question. Nobody wanted to say it out loud, but their only viable option was to lay down fire on the exosuits while someone manuvered around behind them and planted C4 charges on the exosuits. It was a suicide mission. However, Sara volunteered to make the push while her squad provided cover fire. Sara started running, weaving in and out of burned-out buildings while cover fire and enemy fire alike whizzed around her, an energy blast gouging a deep furrow in her shoulder. Sara reached her targets, armed the C4, and planted the charges on the exosuits. However, one of the exosuits noticed her, and turned to open fire. Out of time and options, Sara ran for the nearest building. She hit the ground when the charges detonated. This likely saved her life; however, multiple shards of metal launched by the explosions lodged in her back, causing severe damage. Her squad radioed in a request for a medevac. For her willingness to sacrifice her life to protect her unit, she was given the planet's second-highest military award, which could only be earned through bravery shown during combat. Aside from this incident, however, most of her time was spent training. Yahzeeb wasn't too heavily populated, meaning that major pirate raids were extremely rare. The majority of raiders were poorly-equipped, and easily driven off. She left Yahzeeb and started working for NanoTrasen as a security guard. Wanting to advance up the ladder, she took some time off to pursue bachelor's degrees in criminal justice and business management. She earned the degrees, and went back to working for NanoTrasen. She has earned a reputation among NanoTrasen security; partly good, partly bad. The good part is her unwillingness to give anything less than her best, and her seeming lack of fear when facing dangerous situations. The bad part was her chronic back pain, which some people thought was an excuse to avoid going out on patrols. What do you like about this character?: She has the experience, training, and education necessary for the positions of Head of Security and Captain. Her past employment with the Yahzeeb militia gives her experience and training in leadership and combat skills. Her bachelor's degrees in business management and criminal justice provide the education in corporate regulations and efficient personnel management necessary for the positions of Head of Security and Captain. She is strong-willed, and will not go down without a fight. What do you dislike about this character?: She dislikes sending people into situations she wouldn't/can't go into herself. She suffers from chronic back pain, meaning that extended periods of activity are not good for her health What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: Her experience and training as a squad leader in a planetary militia, combined with her bachelor's degrees in criminal justice and business management, makes her a perfect fit for the roles of Captain and Head of Security. Her unwillingness to give up without a fight makes her perfect for dealing with threats to the station. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I would rate my roleplaying as an eight out of ten. While I have significant experience in roleplaying, my dislike of bland characters has sometimes lead to conflict. I have taken acting classes, which helps with my ability to roleplay. I'm good at connecting dots, which lead to one particular instance where I was messaged by an admin who believed I was metagaming. It was a vamp round, and my character was the victim of vamp mind control. During a discussion with a fellow crew member, my char came to the conclusion that the vamp (although my char didn't specifically know it was a vamp) was using some type of power that could compel people. I based this conclusion on first-hand experience and prior conversations. I was messaged by an admin, who wanted to know how my char came to the conclusion that it was mind control. I explained to him that my character did not specifically say mind control, but rather, the ability to compel people. I based this on a statement my character heard. When a character who was arrested for murder whispered something to the warden, the warden proceeded to blindly follow the murderer into a maintenance tunnel, ignoring someone who called out to him specifically. Once I explained the circumstances, the issue was dropped. Extra notes: I deleted my old chars, Ayano Aishi and Morrighan Macha. I was only using those while I adjusted to all the changes that happened after being away for so long. EDIT: RIP. Nobody's commented on mine, but a bunch of people commented on Crab's.

BYOND Key: Knightroid Game ID: bQr-cZiq Player Byond Key: Alicia Forest Staff involved: DatBerry Reason for complaint: I have played multiple rounds where the Tesla engine has gotten loose or almost gotten loose because of actions taken by Alicia Forest. Whenever confronted about it, the player replies that it's her character's gimmick, that she is obsessed with the Tesla. There are several reasons why this is unrealistic. First, someone who is obsessed with a critical station system that can cause significant destruction/death if malfunctioning would most likely not be hired in the first place. Second, Alicia Forest is a maintenance technician. I seriously doubt that a maintenance technician would realistically have necessary skills and training needed to set up a station engine. In addition, whenever the Tesla gets loose, it cuts the round short, interrupting the flow of the RP Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? Yes; no action was taken that I am aware of Approximate Date/Time: 9/13/17 4:45 PM EST

Reporting Personnel: Archos Rank of Reporting Personnel: Station AI Game ID: bQp-cDdg Personnel Involved: Alicia Forest, Maintenance Technician, Detective Noir, Captain Paul Johnson, Chief Engineer Akela, Head of Security Fariq, Station AI Archos Time of Incident: 9/11/2439 Real time: 1:28, 9/11/17 Location of Incident: NSS Aurora Nature of Incident: Willful neglect, Reckless endangerment of station and crew, negligent homicide, Report begins: At the start of the shift indicated, Maintenance Technician Alicia Forest set up the Tesla engine. However, she used a nonstandard setup without getting prior approval from Chief Engineer. This unit noticed that and reported it to Chief Engineer Akela, who subsequently ordered her to shut the Tesla down and set it up properly. However, Technician Forest deliberately misinterpreted his orders, and shut down the Particle Accelerator and the field generators, which led to the Tesla losing containment. Unit reported this to Chief Alela over the command channel, and Head of Security Fariq ordered Technician Forest placed under arrest. Technician Forest refused orders from Chief Akela and HoS Fariq, necessitating the issuance of a warrant for her arrest. While officers from the ISD were en-route, Technician Forest attempted to persuade me to let her back into the Tesla's control room, using a damaged cyborg in the control room as an excuse. This unit refused her requests. When ISD officers arrived, she refused to surrender. However, ISD's attempts to take her into custody were interrupted by thr reappearance of the Tesla field, now completely out of containment. Captain Paul Johnson ordered all personnel to evacuate the sublevels. However, through means unknown to this unit, the Tesla field was able to maifest itself on the main level, necessitating an emergency evacuation of the station. An emergency shuttle was sent, and Captain Johnson notified the crew that it would be leaving as soon as everyone on board. This AI unit requested Captain Johnson to card it, who did so. As soon as everyone was on board, the shuttle's autopilot was overridden, launching immediately. Also note that her actions resulted in the deaths of several employees, as well as stranding theee employees on the station when they were unable to rendesvouz with the evacuation shuttle. This AI unit has observed that Technician Forest displays an unhealthy obsession with thr Tesla engine. Setting up and maintaining station engines is the job of station engineers and engine technicians, not maintenance technicians. Furthermore, this AI unit is unsure why a maintenance technician would have access to the Tesla engine. This AI unit suggests that Technician Forest undergo a mandatory psyh eval. Report ends
