As a developer, I'm not convinced by the oversight argument. It does matter, because a moderator should know how and when to curb powergaming. Yes, I am able to take data from the past and information from the present to make a conclusion about you. Yes, it was made because I'm genuinely concerned about the breacher, don't assume my intent on your moderator application. It's not a good look. I've invested a lot in this server, I'm proud to keep it running as well as I can. It's not a coincidence, it reminded me of this application. Calling my points invalid isn't really a good look either. From what I can see, you want the station to win, and I think that's anti-thetical to the state of our server. You may claim otherwise, and I'm sure you will, but it's the vibe I've been getting. Anyhow, I won't be replying, I've made my point. Drawing it out only makes it more difficult for staff to make a decision.

I'm going to have to say no. I don't think you've lost your powergaming and validhunting ways at all. I think I brought it up in your previous application as well, can't remember. I don't think you'd be a good staff member, and I don't trust your judgement calls regarding antagonist involvement. You made a PR a while ago, it added Cyndie Kate as a merchant. At this merchant, you could trade 1 TC for a syndiborg. After it got merged, you were rolling Antag Merchant all the time. I constantly saw you decked out with high end gear and an unathi breacher. I was worried that you'd use your unathi whitelist to powergame, but this was next level. The fix for the Cyndie Kate merchant was merged recently, and not by you. I dearly hope this is a misunderstanding, but the pieces are just too in-place for it to be a coincidence, in my mind. For these reasons, I think you should not be a moderator for this server. Frankly, I'm not sure you should be given a chance in the future.

You can't punch a borg, you can't grab a borg, you can't table a borg. If you could fight a borg like you'd fight a human, the flash would get yeeted. Problem is, the only real way to fuck a borg is to have: 1) A heavy weapon like a fire-axe or 2) A flash

I've had some fun interacting with Skyglazer in-game, though I haven't had the chance to do such much, unfortunately. What I do have is many days' worth of discord chats, and I can say with reasonable certainty that they have a good head on their shoulders. They're kind and loving, always up to chat, and seems to follow the rules. Whilst Lezakh is a bit of a ruffian, from what I can gather, I'm sure they can play a Consular really well. They've got my approval. Though. If you stop playing your Hegemony consular before I can meet them, I'm going to mount that good head of yours on a spear.

Check the current Unathi arc.

Personally, I think opening the unlocked airlocks is pretty cool, and would like to see it implemented as suggested. I'm unsure about the balancing though. In my opinion, crowbars are already pretty damn easy to acquire. Up to my fellow devs though.

I've ditched this PR, since you are able to undislocate your stuff while floored, but not while stunned.

Myazaki's got my approval. They agreed to PR my whacky ideas, and actually managed to deliver on them. Really good work from them, really fun to work with them. Really talented. +1.

already implemented yeah. if they're on internals, a "check tank" prompt will display near the bottom. it'll take some time, then it outputs: how much air there is in the tank, and how much it's set to release at (breath masks are usually at 21 kPA)

Guess I was mistaken. Made a new PR. https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/8071

https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/8070

https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/8069

..no? We had a conversation about this in the lorewriters discord. Change how language acquisition works and we can re-open the PR.

https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/8068

I already had an open PR for this, but the Dionae loreteam still has to write some "language acquisition" lore before it'll be accepted. So we're waiting on them.

i'll look into it today once my headache subsides

When last have you tried crawling? I think I fixed that.

Hello. I am the creator of the original ban request which got Burger banned from discord. Valid referrals can be found here and here. It comes as no surprise that the verdict made in the Ban Appeal was a promise of improvement in behaviour, which naturally wasn't achieved, leading to the discord ban, and now this Ban Request. Now, for my part of the evidence gathering. I recently had a sour experience with Burger in the Xenobiology is Broken thread, in which Burger spoke for the developer team as if he had authority, while the team would very much enjoy to disassociate from him. Key quotes are: "and the fact that science mains are some of the most entitled players out of any department" and "This is coming from a guy who has spoken to developers at the state of Aurora and someone who was a developer at the time when I proposed several science changes, only to get shut down because a vocal minority of science players wanted science to be intentionally boring and tedious so normies wouldn't play it." When I enquired about it. In an isolated incident, I can absolutely see a disgruntled developer lashing out like this, but it appears this minor "under the skin" vitriol is but a mere hallmark of the BurgerBB experience. Along with the constant peppering of the words, "Unironically, Like, Bad Meme, Absolute State of [Server]", Burger manages to make every experience as negative as humanly possible. While I have no evidence of such, his "criticisms" of antagonist players post-round isn't too savory either. In short, Burger still has the attitude problem that plagued his tenure on the server pre-banning. I don't see someone that isn't toxic saying the following:

An announcement has been made in the Unathi Discord that aims to help alleviate the issue. If someone's truly being a nuisance, ahelp, or gather evidence and bring it to me. If it's a minor thing, LOOC, or contact them in DMs.

Hello. I have some questions. When last have you read Unathi lore? Do you have anything to say about: Tradition, religion, location, the contact war, your character's opinion about aliens? How does Thr'us intend to be a great warrior whilst working as station security? Do you have any ideal scenarios in mind? If Th'rus encountered someone being held hostage with a revolver to their head, the hostage taker wearing only basic non-EVA armour, what would they do? Do you intend to roll antagonist with this character? Do you have a plot to weave that does not include plain murder and chaos?

Personally, despite how silly it is, raiders spawning without even a fucken' BAG is hilarious to me. It really drives home that these assholes are plunky and really really need to successfully raid the Aurora. However, despite my love for the silliness, I am neither for nor against giving them it.
