You suck. But no, honestly? Anya's one of the characters I can guarantee I'll enjoy an interaction with on most of my characters, regardless of if they know her or not. It's an overall very chill experience, and Jo is one of the only people I can legitimately say who's opinion matters highly to me on a character I make when I give it. Not to mention one of the only friends I've made and wish to legitimately keep, even if I just up and leave the community. Orlova is a character that, with flaws, has them believably. In /most/ cases. There's a few concerns I have in general with what you kept canon and what not, but that's primarily just me being nitpicky. I'm usually open with characters who are different or overly unique though, so honestly I don't have much more contribute.

I've had very negative experiences with ParadoxSpace in the past. He's been more abrasive than I, he's been overly argumentative. Something that I'm well aware I do too. He's standoffish and refuses to apologize for things. All of these traits are not someone I'd want to see as a moderator at all. With that being said, Paradox and I have been interacting much more level-headed and calmly lately. It's to the point where I can say I actually appreciate insight from him at times, and have no problem talking or poking him with things I'm doing that are related. I feel he's improved significantly passed what he was before, even if he is a little hard to read about whether what he says is sarcastic or serious. +1, trial worthy. I hope it goes well, pal.

I also think you mean to use the "Alien Whitelist Format" found here. This is the "Command" whitelist format, so a tiny bit confusing at first glance. There's no 'blanket' whitelist for the server, and every whitelist in and of itself is specific. You need to apply for each one.

Not particularly. All of those are specialized fields of medication, and would require time to learn. Not everyone is required to learn each and every one of them. Also a not all chemical reactions react the same way. Medications react in separate ways when interacting with eachother. Which is why, even if Phoron is required for Dexalin, you wouldn't be able to make Dexalin Plus due to a more uncontrolled chemical reaction. But regardless, the argument is an argument for the sake of arguing. I simply disagree with how it is now. It would take effort to make it 'perfect' in my eyes, outside of just renaming it to indicate you want it played this way. 'This way' meaning allowing Biochemists to do whatever the heck they want instead of focusing on Virology. Since some people perceive Biochemists as being surgeon-chemists too for some reason, who also know virology. I dunno, just my two cents, I guess.

It's already categorized in the way that I mentioned, Jackboot. Basic - Standard - Advanced - Specialist, then Psych and so on.

Chemistry is not a related field to Virology. They require degrees with different fields of study entirely. Biochemists should have basic knowledge of chemistry (Basic medication) and a knowledge of how to /study/ Virology and do everything in the department. Pharmacists should know how to create advanced drugs (Up to advanced medications and specialist ones), and have minimal knowledge of Virology. An Exception would be CMOs who know both Virology and Chemistry, and they could do either. I just believe it needs a rename if people want to play it like they do now. Something like 'Viro-Chemist', which is literal but also not an unrelated field as it's not a field of study. :shrug:

I still don't enjoy the fact that a biochemist is a virologist and a chemist. That's now how it works now, that isn't how it worked forty years ago, and that's likely not how it works four hundred years in the future. Regardless of how it was as a gameplay role, I can understand if they were held to a knowledge critique like nurse and surgeon are as alt-titles. But they're not, as Biochemists seem to be able to do both virology and general chemicals as a master of both fields, where as biochemistry is neither of them. All in all, while the change I think could be better executed, I didn't enjoy it because of this.

The only hard-counter to a mech is... Well, an ion gun. Or an EMP of some form. Anything else is can walk off with relative ease unless you're spamming AMR rounds at it, or an AR or something. During rev or modes where you can't do that, it's a little, uh. Overkill, sure. Personally I like all of the above. The firing pin-like item needs to be attached to allow weapons that are lethal to be attached to a mech. Sounds great, tbh. RD should start with a single one, too, like firing pins. :shrug:

BYOND Key: DasFox Character name: Lin-Yu Su-Yeongseon Item name: Su-Yeongseon CR Skirt Why is your character carrying said item to work? It's a skirt that Lin-Yu would likely prefer wearing over a plain one. Item function(s): This is just a CR Skirt, yo. It's color is what it will stay at. Item description: A modified, yet still comfortable looking CR Skirt. Livery across the surface is the colors of Su-Yeongseon of the Scarab Fleet. Orange markings indicate Engineering proficiency. On a shield plate at the neck, the name "Lin-Yu" and some more information in Freespeak is apparent. Item appearance: In DMI (This will be the same for all sprites.) Item name: Insulated Starmitts Why is your character carrying said item to work? An obviously more comfortable alternative to regular insulated gloves. Something she'd bring with her from the Su-Yeongseon, because fully rubber gloves would be a pain and wouldn't fit very well. Item function(s): It's just a pair of insulated gloves, chief. Item description: A pair of starmitts, with insulated lining on the fingers. They seem to be in an icy blue instead of standard yellow. Along the seam of the bottom reads "Lin-Yu" in golden stitching. Item appearance: In DMI. Item name: Arclight Veil Why is your character carrying said item to work? A veil, much like the starlight veil, but with a flexible poly-carbonate lens weaved into the fabric of the veil. This would obviously be more comfortable to wear as it doesn't put pressure on one's eyes, and Lin-Yu would be used to something like this regardless. Item function(s): Welding goggles, boss. Item description: A starveil, modified to block arclight from torches and welders. A black, flexible poly-carbonate lens to block the light is woven into the fabric of the veil itself. On the back in gold stitching reads "Lin-Yu" Item appearance: In DMI. Item name: Pioneer's Cloak Why is your character carrying said item to work? This would be a special item, unique to Yin-Su. Her "sister", Min-La on the Su-Yeongseon, would have made it for her from the silk of the spiders from San-Kohl as a gift for the job well done during the event. Also as an award, in a way, because she was permanently scarred due to Security blasting her with three flashbangs. Item function(s): Can function like a regular cloak, maybe? Attachable to things, also worn on suit slot? Item description: A grey, spider-silk cloak. A pin on the longer side indicates it's owned by an engineer, with 'Lin-Yu' sewed into the neck in an icy blue. Item appearance: In DMI. Item name: Mayfly Ribbons Why is your character carrying said item to work? It's something one of the only friends she's kept gave her, particularly from the Mayfly. Sasha, one of the crewmembers to come with her as well, gave it to her, and in turn they traded a set of ribbons. She keeps this set close, to remember her friends. Item function(s): Just an accessory, maybe. Like the ESS Ribbons Item description: A Blue, Red, and white set of ribbons for an Exo-Stellar Skeleton. These have green, hydroponics markings, and the name "Sasha" embroidered on the right shoulder ribbon. Item appearance: In DMI. How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP? It's, clearly, not a spacer kit. While I don't expect people to go "Oh this is breathtaking, Amazing." It's certainly better than the blank ones I think. And unique, to boot. Additional comments: The gloves and the veil would only be given as an Engineer job. Also thank Dronz for the cloak sprite. I love him dearly. LinYu Things.dmi

May just be me, but I really dislike the whole "I was in the military" line from every Tajara application. Especially officers who decide to use it as an excuse to have zero care about their safety, personal or otherwise. Especially the 'This is something I do because I want honor and glory' shtick. I'm tired of seeing it and I can't support a character like that, especially not when bee-lining towards security. You also left like, every other Tajara who was in the military, outside of the PRA. "Oh shit we're losing, hightail it out and go somewhere else." I enjoy some of the story that you wrote, but I dislike the cliche that's been made for every Tajara application to be related to the military because it's the only thing basically allowed due to the whitelist limitations. So long as you play the "I'm a deserter, and not a great person" card I can give it a bit of support. Otherwise, you're getting a tentative watch from me. While it's believable for a Tajaran backstory, I just don't enjoy it a lot. Sorry, Xor.

Why not I just sprite a necklace of some form. Both a spearhead and a shark tooth. Best of both worlds, you can keep it on your person, it's a small item you can carry to work and has both things on your person. Or leave it in the open to be stolen, I suppose. Wouldn't be outrageously hard to do either.

I only have Lizzards, Cats, and Bugs. ?

BYOND Key: DasFox Character Names: Ameline Hemory, Emilienne Lemoine, Nafiya Al-Azan, Iliss Reial, Flora Ahmira, and a few I'd like to keep unnamed for the sake of playing them quietly. Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): N/A 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: I don't really enjoy most of the current whitelists I have. From my stance on how I look at the lore, and how I'm tired of portraying certain things through characters and so on. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Synthetics are, primarily, synthetic. Both in mechanics and in the lore. Both in actual play they'd have to be wary of their chassis (body) as it's expensive (painful) to repair, and your entire body can fail you if it's damaged, especially due to minor damages and electrical discharges. Beyond this they're less than human in the terms of their personalities and processes, because their brain specifically is /not/ human. There's a lot more, but not much else that I find relevant to answer this. Character Name: Aurelia Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs. Constructed at behest of Jove Industries’ venture into luxurious amenities (Jupiter Travels), Aurelia was one of several IPCs purposefully made for handling food, drinks, and child-friendly entertainment for passengers. Present for the maiden voyage of Deep Wonder, Jupiter Travels’ first luxury cruiser, Aurelia spent two successful years as catering staff until internal evaluations relocated her to the newer vessel of Midnight Solstice, in an effort to bolster customer satisfaction ratings. Deep Wonder, as the flagship of Jupiter Travels, had been staffed with already experienced crew-members drafted from various locales and subdivisions, to promote the new venture and attract customers. The general inexperience and shoddiness of Midnight Solstice’s crew, however, in large parts due to corporate corner cutting, was evident for Aurelia; not only did the foodstuff quality differ, but also the cohesion of the crew itself, forcing Aurelia to reconfigure and adapt her established routines. Annoyed or rude customers had always been present in some form, but this was the first time she experienced anti-synthetic comments aimed towards her from her own crew - in comparison to Deep Wonder, which had been equipped with more IPCs than organics, the Midnight Solstice, smaller in size, only had IPCs numbering in the single digits in a crew of dozens which, ironically, caused greater friction. As the years went on, Aurelia kept her proverbial head down, lowering her own performance to alleviate the verbal - and sometimes, physical - leers and jabs from organic staff already frayed from lowering salaries and plummeting annual reports. With conversation between IPCs during active work-hours forbidden, her companion became the vessel’s artificial intelligence, the two able to relate in their mistreatment, and eventually forming a mutual friendship. Despite Aurelia’s treatment by her fellow colleagues, in 2558 she became vital for the survival of four crew-members and three passengers as the ship fell under attack from a coordinated and cohesive raider group. On direction of the ship’s AI she managed to guide some to hastily designated safe areas, intercepting bullets that would have been fatal for crew and passengers; this act validated her in the eyes of most of the crew, and Aurelia enjoyed more pleasant crew-related interactions until early 2461, in which the entirety of Jove Industries became liquidated in light of obnoxious spending and a failure to make ends met. With around seven years of solid service experience, the synthetics of Jupiter Travels were quickly snagged for cheap prices by various entities, chiefly NanoTrasen; Aurelia and the Midnight Solstice’s artificial intelligence came to serve, eventually, aboard one of NanoTrasen’s research stations, the Aurora. What do you like about this character? A lot of this was brainstorming (and help) from Capesh, and it's something that I enjoy that kinda came from both of our heads in a way. It makes me smile a bit to see if this'll make any sense to others and come to life on-station somehow. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Decent, I suppose. I know how to type and make cohesive sentences, which is. Something, I guess. This is a pretty subjective question, I don't think I do too well sometimes, I do others. It really depends. Notes: Happy now, Kyres?

I think I've seen them a grand total of once? Although I also play at extremely awkward times. I dunno, I just don't recall ever actually /seeing/ this character around. So adding something like this, for a single character when it's categorized as being acceptable apparel for an entire monastic sect in Buddhism just seems a little odd. This isn't the first Buddhist character we've had around that's a chaplain, priest, or whichever.?‍♀️ My two cents on the matter are it should probably go into a larger thing, that adds clothing for all the major religions into the Chaplain's locker. Instead of just Christianity things. But the sprite's alright, so I can't really -1 it. I just don't know the character to give it a +1.

There is the new sprite Dronz made that hides your face. It has a green visor instead and states it looks like an older design. :shrug:

-1. Literally worst lizard. Get out. JK. Ioraks is pretty cool. Literally the hero we need but don't deserve.

We could always port bay's singular-muting and player-to-player OOC/LOOC blocking systems if it'd be simpler to do so. Also bay /removed/ LOOC, @GreenBoi Not sure if they added it again, but last I checked it was still poofed. (Perma-muted, is what I mean by removed.)

Hello hello, I played a heister this round who didn't quite understand Basic. One of our heisters, the M'sai that was not me (Snowflower with their ID reading 'Snowbell' because they didn't edit the agent card) started breaking into the vault after my warnings to not do so. So, my character, who was just a doctor, feared for their life via a response when ERT was called and security arming up. So she disarmed, gave her equipment to security (Noir), and warned them about people not being happy and likely getting violent over an ERT being called. Of course this was all assumption as I hadn't overheard any plans, and our M'sai wearing red-Tajara-suits likely pointed fingers at the mercenaries. It's not an unfair assumption to say confusion in the ranks happened, so the mercenaries being blamed wasn't Itanimulli's fault in any way. Beyond that, though, a heister did /not/ hurt Willow Harper. Cassy Hendricks did, who was hired by the Mercenaries, along with Reaper, the Mercenary's cyborg. Being as I watched this happen with Thermals, I can attest to a 'mercenary' recruit doing it. This also pointed fingers at the mercenaries, because Harper likely reported this. She reported it to Stone, at any rate, who likely informed security. I gave up my headset at the time just after, so I can't tell you exactly. However yes, Read's M'sai who was going up and with the Mercenaries was warned by me to simply not go with them, which she didn't listen to. I had a feeling something silly was going to take place ICly, so I didn't go with them either. I was trying to stall the elevator, make them wait because one had internal bleeding and hoping he'd lose enough blood to be ineffective. I'm not sure how he got IB, but he said security shot him with something, so I'd also assumed there was a firefight at one point or another that escalated the incident anyway. Gauging proper escalation off of actual action instead of intent just feels a little silly to me. It wasn't BSA's intent to murder a ton of people, and even I could've told you that from my experiences earlier in the round. If BSA was interested in valids, they'd have just shot me the moment I pulled out my gun to disarm as I kept it in my hand a little longer than I intended to as I lagged. Because when an antag draws a gun on you, it's fine to shoot them so say the rules in most situations. All in all, misconception over who did what crimes where, a bomb being finicky, people boarding the shuttle at an inopportune time, and BSA saying something that could be considered snide seem to be contributors toward the action taken here. I believe it wasn't really their intent to murder six antags and four crewmembers. If it was, they'd probably have set off all three our four maxcaps inside that ship, or kept one on them and ran in to bomb the ship again afterwards to make sure no one survived. I just think it's silly we're saying this is clearly intended gank and validhunting murder. From my perspective ICly it was justified. The death could have been easily avoided had people not boarded. I'm not saying it's their fault for boarding, before that's also somehow turned against me. I'm just saying had they been thirty seconds late it wouldn't have happened. That's an extremely short time frame to permanently ban someone over. And bombing the shuttle which slightly damaged yellow-dock is definitely not blowing up departures, unlike what Yugo said. It didn't damage the arrivals dock, or the main hallway, or damage the windows to it in any way. It didn't render entrance to departures vented, damaged, or otherwise, and the same with arrivals. You could freely go anywhere /but/ yellow dock. What was explained to me by the /administrators/ early in my time here, was to not do either of those things to Blue, and Red dock, but yellow dock is fair game as it doesn't connect anywhere but the main hallway and isn't required to arrive or leave. Thereby not bombing departures. In the end, though, I don't really see what BSA did as wrong. I can see how it can be seen as malicious and their actions resulting in death can be seen as gank and murderbone. But intent really goes into that, and when they placed that bomb in a relatively short time frame to 1:10, it was entirely out of their hands as they ran to a safe distance. ?‍♀️

Depends on where it is, I've used it three times when my 'station destruction is being a nerd' gimmick took place. NEver breached the main level when I used it on the surface. :shrug: It's situational depending on where it happens and what terrain is random-genned above it.

APCs are, yknow. APCs. They hold the power of a cell but also are wired directly into the grid. It makes /sense/ they have large explosions and I don't personally see a reason to change that. A warning would be fine, I agree.

Every time you start to use it, you're told by the admins that blowing maxcaps randomly will result in punishment. At least I am. It's the equivalent of blowing a maxcap randomly, because that's literally what you're doing. It doesn't need to be fixed, it just needs to be policed. Which it is.

As far as I was aware, it used to flick their tail and ears. I remember messages about it at some point, maybe it's the rebellion-language or some such that did it. Clarifying Nal'rasan does it with ears and tail as well would be lovely.

Age doesn't really have much to do with how I act. Beyond that, I wasn't at all taking the conversation seriously. If I intended to tell someone legitimately to leave the community, I wouldn't bother doing it in OOC. Like I said before, if I had a legitimate issue with Burger, I wouldn't go at them in OOC with them. I tread the line a lot, even if unintentionally at times. I step over it at times, too. Some of these times I'm made aware of by the person, and I'll step back. Other times like now, an argument just kept going on. I'm argumentative, I'll argue about anything ranging from how letters look to the sky being blue, even sarcastically. I find it fun and it's how I get through my days. Burger took offense to things I made in jest. It happens. I toed a line and went over it. That's entirely my fault, and I'll live up to that. At the time it just amused me to say it, due to 'I don't deal with aggressive people.' This is all over taking things I said literally instead of not. For that I'll apologize, sure. I wasn't clear enough with how I worded it maybe, or maybe it wasn't the best topic to be joking about. It'd have been nice to know he was legitimately upset about this before a complaint, as I forgot about the entire interaction the next round and for the next while until this was brought up in discord. Anyway if I reply slowly to this, I'm really sorry. I'm stuck to a phone for the next few days and it doesn't quite like the new forums all that well.

Noir was AFK during the round and got popped into a cryo casket. I can attest to this as I was also security, and talking to him on discord at the time which he validated after the round ended. Carson aimed at him after popping out of the cryo casket from what was said to me, and I'm more prone to believe the person who told me this rather than a secondary testimony that doesn't match it. Noir was also a traitor, as was I. We were doing a 'Film Noir' gimmick which included him as a main plot point. We even killed off CrystalClear to make it work and find the body. The reason Noir (who was a Security Officer, and not a Detective this round) had a magnum, was because he got it from his uplink. Everyone upstairs was an antagonist, by the way. We were all armed to the teeth and ready to take you down, just none of us had a crowbar, because Noir got looted. He wasn't a detective, he wasn't valid-hunting as we were just following our 'Get the bad guy' gimmick (which we got one of them, we didn't plan for two because you didn't speak in AOOC at all during the entire course of us planning the gimmick, or at any point during the round.). The complaint, from my perspective, doesn't really have all the facts. Hence my comment here. Hopefully this clears a few things up at least. I PM'd the link to this to BSA as well, so he can say his piece.
