  1. Not even gonna touch the IC char part of this cause it's been answered a billion times. As for the OOC/meta side, I think our server has a lot of gay players and afaik, we haven't had an issue with people being homophobic or hating on people cause of their gender identity. Sure, people will throw around the typical internet insults 'ur a figgit'...'thats gay' etc. , but I've never really seen it as homophobic. I mean, I'm openly gay and I've never been bullied or anything because of my sexual orientation. I know there's quite a few gay people on staff too. I think at this point as long as you aren't posting 'Im gay, notice me!' in ooc a million times, you'll be fine.
  2. Willing to give ya another shot, since it's been awhile and you seem to understand that drones shouldn't 'actively' participate in antag related stuffs. Will remove your ban.
  3. As a side note: While we understand that the incident in question may have really frustrated some people, someone(s) from the admin/mod team will investigate the incident and then decide, independently, the course of action and/or any punishments. It may or may not result in a warning, a worse punishment or no punishment at all. We will investigate the incident and come to a conclusion based on that investigation, as with all other complaints.
  4. If you're not gonna defend yourself seriously, then I'm gonna have to close this thread. Sorry man. Message someone if you want to post an actual appeal. ~LOCKED~
  5. You were previously banned for sexually harassing another player. You making an alt account and getting past that ban doesn't magically grant you another chance at an unban. Locking. Feel free to unlock if there's more to add.
  6. Alright, oth sides have had their say. Jboy said his bit and DaBurs responded. Further posts should not deal directly with the points Jboy touched on (unless it's by a third party adding more relevant information).
  7. I want it to be clear that admins don't release teslas or sings during an uneventful round without at least tossing a vote at the server or something. Thank you. Xander is claiming ownership of the fact that he esentially claimed (as far as admins were concerned) to be running the event, by giving us directions to release the Tesla. Keeping that in mind, the Tesla was both 1) Isolated to a totally different Z-level than the main station and 2) far less lethal and round-ending than a Singularity. With these two facts in mind, Xander, who both IJ and I thought was the single event leader/organizer/etc. first gave us permission and then repeatedly and emphatically told us to release the Tesla. Because of all these reasons, I think that in this situation releasing the Tesla did not require a server-wide vote. It did not affect the general server population, only the subset (6-8?) participating in the event itself. That Sierra, who as far as I could tell was unrelated to the whole matter, called a crew transfer vote and it passed seemed to be coincidence; it was neither my nor IJ's intent to cause the round to end.
  8. The Tesla damage was contained to the outpost itself. And, as has been stated before, I don't think anyone died as a result of it being released (and engineer DID die from Tesla damage, but he was just sitting too close to the thing before IJ or myself did anything). My primary rebuttle against the accusation against myself and IJ is that we did not release the Tesla in an attempt to griff. We did it under the assumption that Xander was leading the event, and only after receiving REPEATED go-aheads from him to release it. We did not act independently to alter an event, we believed we were acting in accordance with the person heading it...creating interesting RP out of an experimental Tesla experiment going wildly wrong.
  9. My justification was that I was under the impression that Xander was the event leader, then he gave the go-ahead to release the tesla coil. He was VERY adamant about releasing it. I remained under the assumption that it was his event.
  10. Meteor shower was admin spawned by me under the impression that it would impact the outpost. AFAIK , it did not. Prompting me to use the meteor pen
  11. Hi. I did not PM Xander but was talking in DOsay as a whole. Here's a snippet of the conversation: I was under the impression that Xander was heading the event (I joined the round late). Xander seemed to give directions though, and so I assumed that this was a DO-run event. I tried to fire off some meteors to disable a corner of the emitter, but they were caught in some stasis field. Xander then kept asking for me or someone to quickly release the Tesla. IJ obliged by causing an explosion on one of the emitters.
  12. From what I can gather, it seems like the nuke ops might've been a bit too chucklefuckey. But overall I don't have an issue with nuke ops disguising themselves as clown and boarding the station.
  13. So a bunch of cultists on old generational ships to nowhere? Sounds pretty cool. I forget when exactly bluespace drives were invented (or their warp precursors or w/e) but as long as this is before that timeframe, it makes sense to me. Do you plan on having the flotilla enter the Tau Ceti System, or have people migrant to the Aurora on their own due to selling their services/exile/etc. ?
  14. Unlocked. Please engage in a CIVIL discussion.
  15. Imma just lock this thread in the meantime, unless some other admin/mod decides to unlock it.
  16. I think we're leaning towards removing genetics, but that alone is more of seperate topic. Please feel free to start another thread on that topic.
  17. I deleted unnecessary/nonconstructive posts. Keep things civil and respectful or I'll lock the whole thread.
  18. I don't mean to be intrusive, but surely she could be a lab assistant, right? Even 18 year old freshmen in college can be lab assistants under a principal investigator. All though, I suppose the key phrase there is "in college." I would classify lab assistant as an intern, yes. I see no issue with a 19 y/o lab assistant. This is the main issue I have with Seon. They seem to be a character trying to do too much. The extensive genetic modifications, the excessive skillset relative to age, their behavior icly and in their backstory which would lead to serious issues trying to get hired...there's just too much going on with this single character.
  19. At age 19, your best bet would be an intern or unskilled position (cargo techie, janitor, etc.). Seon could be in the process of going to medical school or something, but at that young of an age, she wouldn't have a lot of skills.
  20. The issue, as FFrances has pointed out in far more detail, is that Seon is too much of an unbelievable, unrealistic character. Yes, this is a silly spessmen game, but characters are expected to be somewhat reasonable in keeping with the RP environment. Regardless of the IC background justifications, a character is expected to have a reasonable amount of knowledge and skills for their age, education, career etc. In our universe, people go to school, knowledge can't be 'imprinted' artificially (AFAIK) and homeschooling does not grant anymore massive intelligence. No accredited hospital, advanced school, military institution, gov't agency, etc. would permit a child to join up with them, due to age restrictions and other reasons that have parallels in real life. Also, age and experience count for a lot of what characters can know and it is impossible to replicate this fully using technology of any kind (in a nutshell: older characters can know more, and vice versa). In the past, we had things like 18 y/o pregnant doctor/HoS captains. These characters had backstories similar to the one Seon has (genetically modified/vat-bred, extensively home educated, etc.). Their backstory justifications were deemed too extreme, too unrealistic and only enabled people to make such unrealistic characters that they stood out blatantly as snowflakes.
  21. Looks cool. May be interesting to see it developed more, but as is, I'll buy into it.
  22. For reference: I left InquisitorJohn with a harsh warning for their actions. If they attempt a similar, unwarranted escalation of force, they will likely be met with a severe warning or a ban (most likely a ban since they've been given several warnings).
