My main question with this is how antags in general are handled. Is this just spawning antags as normal but giving them the option of on station or off, or is this going to start spawning multiple antags all the time? Like vamp traitor or ling merc or so on. Because I'm of the opinion that the latter would result in constant clusterfucks that involve little RP before everything goes to hell.

I'm still mulling over logs and things, but whilst I do that I'll address some things that have come up since my last post. This complaint is about your past behavior and a pattern of toxic attitude/derailment. It encompasses much more than calling you toxic "for calling out abuse" and I gave Cael permission to post with his piece because it is relevant, and not unfounded. This complaint mostly has recent things, at least the past six months. I am going to stress again that I have deemed Alberyk's strike irrelevant. Stop posting about it. That goes for everyone here. With the wording you used, I am really confused about what you are asking me here.

Going to take this opportunity to say that nobody should post on this without actual evidence to back it up, and only if you are actually involved. DM me on discord if you aren't sure if you fall into the involved category.

Hi. I'm going to be taking this complaint. Give me a bit to re-read it all and come up with a response as there is a LOT to read and review here and the logs on discord which I will probably go look at myself as well. As a preface in case replies go out whilst I do the above, I am going to address some things that stand out to me. To my knowledge as former lorestaff, this is not true. New staff are not warned about your existence, at least not as far as I am aware. Either way, this incident and things surrounding it is relatively irrelevant to the complaint, please cease talking about it. This incident in particular is also irrelevant. Things done to you do not justify what you do to others. Cease talking about this as well. In general, be careful about what is brought up here. This is about an alleged pattern of behavior regarding derailing conversations and general toxicity, and anything not directly involved with that should not be discussed. While the timing does make it look retaliatory, I will say there is enough stuff on this complaint to take it seriously regardless, not that I've come to any decisions yet. Please don't bring this up again either. With that out of the way, I'll reply again soon with questions and-or maybe a verdict after ive reviewed everything.

I think 30 percent is a happy middle ground. 20 percent and below you are essentially on death's door, but realistically flat unconciousness should at least happen before that. Good change either way, won't be heartbroken if more people want the 20 percent.

Ditto with this. Vampires being forced to either kill or get instantly exposed is just lame, and really just dumbs down vampires by a lot to begin with, making them a TDM antag, essentially. Only so much roleplay is going to happen when killing has to be the end result.

new pasta types. Ravioli, Tortellini, so on. Pasta we stan.

The people in GTR needed surgery, not additional chems that overall would not make them more likely to survive alone. On the management side, there was also next to no communication over the radio, either. So I am sticking to my guns about lacklustre medical play here. I have mained medical for the past three years. I am not just some bystander that doesn't know what is going on. The play was bad and many of the deaths could have been avoided with surgery or even just oxygen/blood (multiple patients of which had neither going for them). Trying to call someone a "racist lunatic" purely because they shot you is extremely rude and, quite frankly, abhorrent. Anya had plenty of IC reasoning to shoot your CMO, since this is still a roleplay server where things happen based on IC happenings, so it was justified. This is a blatant lie. She begans shooting at you, you run offscreen, safe, Anya is IMMEDIATELY disarmed after, and then you run back in, stare at her with your disruptor out for a few seconds, and then open fire whilst they are typing. Anya did not even have a weapon in her hands when you began firing.

Hi. I am the unknown that okayed Anya being made traitor. It was a hectic crossfire round with a lot of injured people in the medbay, so I will go over my reasoning for why I okayed it. From what I was told (from multiple people, mind), a lot of the deaths were very avoidable. Engineers who fought the intruders were completely overstepped in favor of saving the antags, one of which even shot their savior right before, and when the engineers finally DID get to medical, they were not saved or anywhere close. From what I saw personally, there were multiple people in asystole in GTR, and you were nowhere to be found. That compounding with the obvious anger that would arise from this much crew death, is why I okayed this action. I still see it as justifiable. This is not entirely true. You DID get away at first, running into maintenance as security stopped Orlova from shooting further. You then unholstered your disruptor, ran back in blasting, and died from the returning fire.

Having looked at your notes, this is by far not the first time you have been banned for LRP behavior, and if you were to be unbanned, I do not believe it would be the last. Since you are clearly not changing and your reasoning is fairly lacking, I do not feel lifting this one would benefit the server. Appeal denied.

seconding this. The amount of lounge spaces shouldnt be lowered. Its nice to have places to have roleplay with only one or two other people where someone else isn't going to just interrupt at any time for any reason

Over my time as Bug Maintainer, Desven was a huge help and quite honestly, probably did more lore than I did overall. He was invaluable in making the Bulwark come to life through sprites and helping with the arc that introduced them, and I'd be happy to see him take my place, as it were. Any questions I'd have for him have basically been asked already, so I feel comfortable leaving it at that. Big +1

This just adds "Rob the vault" to the list of three total common gimmicks, it doesn't really fix the issue. Robbing the vault, again, doesn't really involve anyone BUT security as well. Encouraging gimmicks that basically exist to end in TDM like this isn't very conductive to roleplay. While it might make sense for the ship to have one, I think the former is a good enough reason not to.

Going to second Danse's opinion on Vault gimmicks. They tend to always go one way and usually aren't fun for anyone but security and the antagonists. I don't think we'd benefit from re-adding it, even if it does make more sense for the Horizon to have one as opposed to the Aurora.

Hi. I really like the writeup you made, and think you have a pretty damn good grasp on what playing a schizophrenic bug is like. Accepted.

I don't really see a reason to do this. It just removes stuff because one person doesn't like it. The pets are fine, and can bring RP pretty often. -1

Hi. I'm the guy that gave you the initial warning. What kind of punishment you get is largely up to the staff member, it does not HAVE to follow the escalation outlined in the rules under certain circumstances. In this case, you deliberately ignored what I told you, tried to make your self-antag arc canon anyway, and was banned due to being told off about it right before in a warning. You also said "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" when told you likely wouldn't be given permission to do things like this anyway, which shows us you really don't care much about the rules and were looking for a way to game the escalation system. That is why you were given a permaban. In conclusion, you were permabanned because you blatantly ignored a staff ruling.

Hi, I do like this idea, and think it consuming phoron during the crisis is an interesting way to make it relevant. I'm the one who wrote the original article, and iirc I left it at that because there were concerns about the article and powercreep or something along those lines back then. I don't know, looooong time ago. Anyway, I find this interesting enough to add into lore in some capacity, so I'll be moving this to deferred acceptance. Woo.

I've been enjoying their CMO a lot. They are knowledgable enough, coordinate well, and act like a normal person. +1 for sure.

Hi. Being an antag doesn't really prove that you were planning on coming back sooner, and even then, you should ahelp and cryo if you know you will be away as an antagonist, ESPECIALLY an antagonist in a limited slot role. You also have a significant note history about this kind of thing, so you should definitely know better by now. Appeal Denied.

Hi. I'm satisfed enough with this app to accept it. Welcome to bug-dom

Definitely a big improvement. The cornered table also gives more seats than it used to have. Can't wait to see it.
