  1. This can pretty easily turn into funny guys that try to murder station chars on extended and things like that. It can get to the point of not being very believable as well. I'd prolly only support this if it was a rare event, like Deadlantern said. As an aside, Marooning is probably too intense for a stowaway, given marooning is a capital punishment iirc. Maybe just HuT.
  2. I think the non-canonicity of the ships is for the best. Having hostile ships constantly propping up would get old very fast, especially if they were all canon, so spacing them out with non-hostile ships and such would be good. The category system seems a good fit for this, though I still believe antagonistic ships should be rare.
  3. so it turns out Vrow is already fixing this oorah https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/13399
  4. This suggestion is to revert this PR:https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/13096 But why?: I really dislike these sprites for a few reasons. The chief one is that, while the sprites themselves are not that bad, they really clash with the style of most other items in medical. They look drastically different to things like sleepers or pills and this makes them look much worse in comparison. They are meant for Eris and Eris sprites, and look bad here. This is especially prevalent in the bluespace beaker, which looks like a wizard item more than a science produced item. Here is a picture of the current sprites for those that haven't really been paying attention to them: Another gripe is that the previous bottles had more variety. They came in different shapes and sizes instead of just this one bottle with very little changes other than color. The sprites being massive also makes them look worse to boot, even if they are easier to click. I'm not much opposed to the new syringes or dropper. Ultimately I think these sprites are worse than the ones we used to have, and believe this PR should be reverted to fix that.
  5. Hi. I'm satisfied with both the app and the answers to the questions provided by desven. App accepted!
  6. Right, sorry this took a while. I do actually remember your miner, and what happened was that you breached the station whilst out mining, walking in next to the TCFL shuttle, and then died. I know you are the right person in this, so I'm not too convinced on this argument. In addition, you also have other notes about breaking into OTHER places as a miner. Given all of this, I will be denying this appeal.
  7. Hi. I know you are a competent roleplayer and I'm satisfied with the answers given to the questions. App Accepted!
  8. Very little about Vampire at face value makes it encourage ERP. Hypnosis and domination like abilities are not ERP-derived and are only taken there when someone too horny for their own good takes over. if that happens, you should ahelp, as is usual. As for the topic of other people not playing it either, everyone has different opinions. Just because you do not enjoy the gameplay of Vampire doesn't mean everyone else should hate it by default as well.
  9. That is not the full ban reason. This is. You were spraying people without any context or roleplay. You only said things after being confronted. I even saw you do this in medbay lobby. Stuff like this is covered in the rules, which you were supposed to read again, if you even did to begin with, since you had JUST been unbanned prior to this via appeal. On top of this your attitude suggests you still believe you have done nothing wrong, furthering the last point. You also started getting very snippy near the end of the ticket, which is not allowed. If anything reinstating your week ban was generous. Appeal Denied.
  10. Known Mel for a while, and I know they are a fantastic roleplayer. Also satisfied with the backstory and answers to questions. App Accepted.
  11. Hi, Vaurca Maintainer here. I will be taking this complaint since its 75 percent a question of whether or not the Vaurca involved were in the right. So, starting off, I do not see an issue with the Consular's behavior here. You walked up to them, insulted them, and they insulted you back. Consulars and Vaurca as a whole are allowed to do this. Ta are high in the social hierarchy of Vaurca, and while they are there to build relations, they are by no means required to be nice and accommodating to people actively talking down to them, threatening etc. I also do not view this as the Consular picking a fight, either. This is because, even by your own description, you are the one picking a fight here. This entire complaint essentially encompasses an entirely IC issue. There are two parts to this section, The calling of vaurca to their aid and the humanlike insults, so I'll tackle them one after the other. 1: Calling other Vaurca This is something Ta and other Vaurca do incredibly often, as others have said. Ta can, and are expected to, call other Vaurca to their aid in situations like this as they are very important in the hive's structure, and are revered in Vaurca society. There is no issue with doing things like this as long as the Vaurca attending are not currently busy with another emergency. 2: Humanlike insults While the Vaurca can be socially ignorant or confused, to the extent this goes is largely determined by the player. All three major hives are integrated into a species' society in some fashion, and all three also involve humans. Thus some Vaurca would know how humans speak and talk, and would know their insults as well. There is little issue with a Vaurca swearing as long as it is kept reasonable and there is a just cause for it. The Guwan calling falls under this umbrella as well. You insulted a Ta, so you got called a Guwan. Tit for tat. Do not expect Vaurca to just bow down to whatever insults are being flung at them, as retaliating back in this instance doesn't quite hurt the hive's reputation. Overall, this complaint reads like this: Unathi: Insults Ta Ta: Insults back and calls Vaurca after being threatened Unathi: Attacks And then a player complaint was made. This is an IC issue, and fits an incident report far more than a player complaint. If nobody else has anything to add, this will probably be locked and archived in 24 hours.
  12. Hi. First things first, I am not at all obliged to tell you what I actually did with the other person. Talking to them can mean a variety of things, so do not just assume I did nothing. Secondly, people are allowed to leave when they are uncomfortable with something happening, in this case the Thralling. How they did it was an issue, but not a massive one, and they were talked to about it. End of story. There is also zero obligation for staff to compensate you for anything that happened, additionally. Secondly, I believe you misunderstand how combat and Rp work together here. Most roleplay comes from the escalation of conflict and so on. When fighting starts, it is mostly whoever is the most robust that is allowed to win. Players go down when mechanics make them go down, not when they RP going down because they supposedly take a lot of damage. That is why this game HAS a mechanical side. Players do not have to just give up in a fight because you are a Vampire that just sucked their blood. You attacked Voight twice, letting him remember it both times, so he fought back the second time when he woke up. i consider this okay, as it is obvious you are attacking them and there was some escalation involved (the first attack) thus making it believable that they would protect themselves to the best of their ability, with their ability being determined by the mechanics the game has in place. Mechanics are there to supplement roleplay. There are two sides to the server, RP, and mechanical gameplay. Escalation before a fight + the aftermath is the RP side, and the actual fight is the mechanical side, with the game determining who goes down first and so on. Just because he fought you effectively with "low blood" does not at all mean he exploited anything. It means the game determined he still has enough blood to move and fight. There was no conscious exploiting going on here. This seems kinda' hypocritical. You are insinuating that you are fine with them fighting back, but you are also upset that they almost won in fighting you back. Do not expect people to just give up for no reason because they supposedly lost blood. On that note, I think you grossly overestimate how much blood vampires take when they drain people. A long time ago, Vampire feeding DID take a significant amount of blood, to the point of killing after 3-4 goes. After that, it was nerfed very hard and now it very rarely takes someone below 90 percent blood oxy, if it even goes below 95. It is likely Voight was nowhere near low on blood, and was perfectly fine after the sucking. This is partially why Vamps usually keep the bite ability on the forget option. You are twisting words here. I told you he was not powergaming and that there was no abuse of mechanics. Additionally, there is little RP to be done in the middle of a fight. I do not expect people to start typing mid brawl. Here are the logs for the ticket.
  13. Hi. Overall I find this to be an interesting concept, and will be accepting the application. Do note that this will probably be edited and trimmed down a little, or dispersed, whatever. Also this may take a while to be put on the wiki because of Stuff and Thingsā„¢ already in the works.
  14. Hi. We like the majority of the doc, and will be accepting this application. But do still be aware that we are able to change whatever we want on it, and a lot of the crime stuff and some others will either be toned down or removed, since its a little too overt for the vaurca to reasonably get away with it.
  15. I don't believe you should be deputy loremaster for the sole reason that it would mean you have head responsibilities in three major areas of staff. That being head admin, development (technically not head dev but you have enough sway to fulfill that role in my mind anyway) and now lore development. It's just not a good idea for someone to have no checks in regards to what they do with the server aside from the host. Otherwise I wouldn't have much issue with it. -1
  16. Nope. Just the necklace with the description is enough for me to roleplayium this into existence.
  17. Keep in mind this is feedback. We are not dogpiling you for no reason. people are -1ing your app because of things you have done as Aclipsa, which is who you primarily play, and those things are likely to carry along to any other character you create. Take care not to throw away negative feedback purely because it is negative, as that defeats the entire point of feedback.
  18. I concur with Faye's point of issues with staying in your lane. Farson is often played like he knows next to everything, while a lot of the time in practice it feels liek you don't know much about medical mechanics wise. On top of that, you don't have much activity on the server, as you just came back from a hiatus. I also feel like you don't have a grasp on all being Command entails given you are trying to make a Zeng-Hu char go NT command either. Gonna have to -1 this one.
  19. Apologies for the delay. Finals week. I'll unban you this time, but know that if you repeat your behavior, you will be banned again, and likely won't be unbanned again.
  20. I have some apprehensions about Sil Aclipsa being a CMO. There have been multiple times where you have done chemistry as a physician, and your medical skill has also been in question, to the point where you were even asked to go back to intern for a while. I have not really seen Sil Aclipsa on much since then, so I don't think this jump to CMO is a good idea, so I'm not too confident previous issues have been fixed. Gonna' have to say -1 for this one.
