Have sprots, will code. Name suggestions, go.

Don't go hyperbolic on me, please. I never raised into question the feedback thread, that is fine. I did not personally address you, my post should serve as a notice on how to not take things too far. What is "Too far"? Literally ripping into someone's throat because you saw them do something you did not like, and then using this as a guise to justify it. There is no witchhunting that -- it happened, logs exist, etcetera.

To shed light from another angle onto Doomberg's post, here's what we don't want happening: the weaponization of the thread and its ideas against individuals with differing views and approaches. The unfortunate fact is that this has already happened. There is a very clear line between objective criticism based on a period of observation and notation, and trying to get at someone's throat because they dared do something that doesn't seem right to you. One is a positive experience to both parties, hopefully. The second is, more often than not, a misguided ploy that ends up looking more and more akin to a witch hunt. And let's talk about the latter. Witch hunts, the ones that I've seen, only work when two conditions are met: They are executed by a higher power; Said higher power actually has a crystal clear vision, and the ability to adhere to it. And the end result is a very singular environment. Which by definition is counterproductive to a roleplay setting.

Anyways, I don't really care for the Captain having a pet (at least, not until someone raises Polly to the table *shudder*). So if someone could make/fetch sprites, then I don't see a reason for no? Although, a goldfish somewhere would be kind of cool as well. Because, well, unique.

Oh, yeah. Since no negative remarks were offered, we'll give you another chance. Understand though, that if this type of behaviour (namely: racism) resurfaces, the next ban will not permitted an appeal. Otherwise, have a good day!

The ban was lifted by TishinaStalker 8 hours after issuing. I apologize for this happening.

As a note. I am not available until tomorrow to review this.

I already gave you a name and you took no note of it baka-senpai! It was one of two ;-; And still lacking a recipe.

Dreamix, that limit is basically the overdose variable. If you have more than that in your body, then you start taking toxin damage and also liver damage (eventually).

@Kekboot: So basically idea 3 from my original list. Now can someone please actually help me with my original request of: "Halp, I need recipes, names and ideas for potential side-effects beyond rejection." :<

That exists in the code. The "Organ printer" I gave to the biologist is actually a child of the actual printer. The actual printer works exactly as you described it: you inject donor blood, you press button, and you print a perfectly matching organ. Why I haven't given access to it: Beeeeecause it's cheap, right now. As in. It perpetuates the issue we're trying to combat: if genetics is boring by the virtue of you just having to press a button to make clone, then having a tool that functions exactly as I described above (because it does, verbatim) would end with the same thing: there's nothing to watch over, there's nothing to involve yourself in. You just. Inject, button, surgery, done. Now, organ growing is on my list, I just. Want it to be more. Y'know? Instead of just pressing a button. But I predict it to be like, 2 months away. Also, I want to add emphasis to the heavy immunosuppressant. Basically: transplanting alien organs into other creatures. I want to bring the biologists into a place where genesplicing, species-crafting is an actual thing they can do. And for that, the heavy immunosuppressant is meant.

This is actually one of the plans I've got up my sleeves. But, later. Later. These specific questions first.

Possibly. We'll see later on how it goes.

...yes, I know. But, as I said, these are examples of potential tactical scenarios where having tasers that go through glass would make a difference.

Even more point to having these! Weeee!

HOKAY, In relation to the Biologist job, and the currently under way Skrell biology rework, I need a quick few ideas. Namely, for drugs! Everyone likes drugs. Anyways, what am I talking about here? When transplanting an organ, unless you match the patient's bloodtypes and possibly a few more strings of DNA related data (I need to confirm that this system works at some point, actually), the organ gets rejected. There is no way to stop this/cure this/fix this. So, as it stands, there are only two alternatives: Use a mechanical organ Find a matching donor from monkeys This leaves us with very little control over the matter. So how about we exert some? Here are my ideas: Light immunosuppressant -- A drug which, when administered, starts messing with the receiving organism and the transplanted organ. It outright combats rejection, and also, eventually, makes the organ fully fitting for the receiving organism. The only limitation is that the drug only works when the donor species is the same as the receiving species. If the species do not match, this will have no effect what so ever. Otherwise, should have no real side-effects. Heavy immunosuppressant -- A drug which, when administered, starts messing with the receiving organism and the transplanted organ. Where as the light version effectively "cured" rejection (that is to say: eventually makes it impossible for the organism to reject the transplanted organ), this one would simple keep it at bay. So, rejection is negated only when the chemical is present in the organism. Might sound worse? Yes. But, this one would also affect organs that are transplanted across species. So, basically, give a human the Skrell symbiote, and it won't turn parasitic for as long as this chemical is present in the body. This drug should also, maybe, have some tangible side-effects? Although, the user already becomes reliant on it, as otherwise, they'll pretty much die from organ rejection. Some machine doohickey -- A machine which has the capacity to pre-emptively prep an organ for transplant into an organism. Washed down version of how it'll work (when implemented, it will be harder to use than this rundown, as both this and the light immunosuppressant need to be equally viable (at least without RnD staff)): Take organ designated for transplantation Shove organ into machine Inject target blood/DNA into machine Press button Organ is now good for a no-drugs transplantation, as long as the species match Why am I posting this here? Weeell. I need feedback on the general gist. Plus, I need the recipes and names for the chemicals, along with potential side-effects. So, fire away!

I've seen similar things when selecting admin staff. Although, there is a clear distinction to be made between: "I've got no idea who you are," and "You haven't been around in these parts for long." One implies a random, "Eh, sure," while the other implies that you, at the very least, see something positive and neat in the player (or you actually know them from elsewhere, etcetera).

I can go and poke around, see if the command bar is at all accessible. If anyone can point me to a codebase which has the commandbar sensitive version, then that'd be great. Otherwise, I'll review this once I get a break from my (wet) Skrell oriented work.

Two days ago. Medical bay. Haruspex was being good old Haruspex and attacking people as an antagonist. The windowed state of the medical bay lobby gave us a few good shots (we used lasers instead, because we had them) that would have otherwise been blocked by windows. Same round, earlier. Paulson is caught in the in the glass area in the far right of the HoP's office, with a sec officer on the left, more open side of the office. Once again, he gets lasered (because we had been hunting him with lethals for 20+ minutes at that point). Now, the argument isn't going to be: "WE COULD HAVE TAKEN HIM ALIVE! WE NEED TO ADD THIS!" -- we had kill orders for both, and neither would have come down without a fight. Plus, flashbangs exist. But just to demonstrate that windows do play an important tactical role.

My initial thoughts are no. Glass being able to stop tasers is important, very much so. I've always been opposed to the idea of having beamed tasers in favour of forcing sec into closer confrontations.

Appeal denied, then.

Well, you said you had stress from real life sources if memory serves. Hence the effective break offer until that subsides. But, anyways. I'll go batting this over the heads of the admins, get their opinion, as discussed with you today.

Since I had the logs from searching up another incident today, I went over the ones for today, and to me, the ban looks valid. If you want to appeal it, go for it. EDIT: Well, okay, maybe not a week ban worthy. But definately a synth-ban worthy. Otherwise, best of luck. It was nice to have you here.

Depending on what you actually adminhelped, and whether or not it was answered, the ban can be invalidated. But you have to understand that a maint drone calling the shuttle is pretty much grounds for a synth ban -- it's a gross violation of its laws :/

The only way is if I add an exception, so that the item uses an array of names. But even then, the array needs to remain predefined. So, short answer: no.
