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

Nope. Just the necklace with the description is enough for me to roleplayium this into existence.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Accepted.

I am fully aware of what happened, and all this appeal is really doing is going over the story again. There isn't really any recognition of the rules you broke or anything, so how do I know you will not just rejoin the server and start doing these behaviors again immediately?

Around the beginning of Haydizzle becoming lizard master supreme, I remember seeing the conversations and long long messages of complaining. Complaining that there was so much shit to fix. And Haydizzle WAS doing the fixing back then, so the beginning of his tenure went very well, in my eyes. Thus the argument that he has done nothing at least somewhat falls apart. At first. LATELY it seems Unathi lore has stagnated completely, which I am not going to put all blame on Haydizzle for, as I have not been terribly active either. But to that point, he is still a present entity that gives opinion on matters, which is a large part of loremastering. BUT I feel like the idleness is getting a bit worse, in that I see you around less and less as time goes on, so I do have some worries that you might not be as active as some would want you to be. Being there for the Unathi community is good, but as a deputy loremaster you have to be present for all of the communities, often. It's a massive time commitment, and I'm not too sure you can keep up with it right now, from experience. So in my eyes, you are fit to be the Unathi developer as of now, but I'm not too sure on deputy loremaster for activity reasons.

I have been against the change from the beginning, and have stated my reasons for such multiple times. At one point I had even drafted out a rework that adds more effects and background and etcetera. Originally the reasoning behind this was that it was a plothole. IE "Why not clone frost?" to which I answer "They shot him in the head fifteen times". This change felt extremely forced and on rails and it did not at all feel like I had any say in it at one point. I think it should be reverted to what it was before and changed to add ill effects and restrictions IE no cloning if the head is gone and similar lines. It adds another origin for people and gives interesting ways to roleplay out being a clone. If they don't RP it out and just use it as an excuse to revive, its breaking the believable character rule. These changes have outright nullified a few characters due to drastically changing their backstories so hard they can no longer be played without some major asspulls, all because some people looked at lore and came up with a bogus hypothetical situation to justify removing lore.

BYOND Key: Roostercat12 Discord Username: Roostercat#8032 Character Name: Jaquelyn Roberts Item Name: (if you are applying for multiple items, it should be made into a list with the description, name and appearance together): Shrapnel Necklace Item Function(s): Can be worn as an accessory on uniforms because there is no necklace slot. Otherwise its purely cosmetic. Item Description: "A necklace consisting of a piece of shrapnel on a silver chain, with a pink wire running around the back. You can feel a pulse similar to a heartbeat from a small device on the back side of the Shrapnel, with the wire feeding into it." Why is your character bringing this item to work?: It has significant sentimental value to her, and she brings it practically everywhere as it helps keep her calmer. How did your character obtain this item?: It was gifted to her by her soon-to-be wife for their anniversary. What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: The necklace was given to Jaquelyn by her SO right after the second invasion of Biesel, near their anniversary. Said SO was volunteering to give medical aid to fighters when a piece of shrapnel nearly killed her, shooting into the wall beside her. She took the piece of shrapnel, and turned it into a necklace that beats in tune with her heartbeat with data from her wrist monitor, giving it to Jaquelyn as a sort of assurance that she is safe (due to Jackie being paranoid as hell).

We are satisfied with the app and are confident you can pull it off. Application Accepted.

Just because it was not reported the first time does not make it okay. Additionally, even when people are uncomfortable, it's not like they will simply cease speaking at all due to it. They will still talk and the like to stay in character as they did when this was reported. This falls to common sense. If people are uncomfortable with extremely crass language, going to the same people and silently recording them with no additional context out of the blue is going to be seen as targeted behavior. This is obvious. This, again, falls to common sense. The occasional lightly crass comment or whatever is fine. But you went way overboard. Silently recording specific people for no reason is creepy, and should not be done. The type of character you made is bound to cause similar feelings to most people on the server, and I personally would recommend remaking them, or else this will just keep popping up. I am not interested in watching you come up with a new way to show off creepy behavior, just because you were not explicitly told X specific thing was not okay. it will just spiral into more loopholes forever, and creep out more people. The LOOC comments after the last incident should have made you aware that people are uncomfortable with how your character acts, and I am not buying the claim that you were unaware, given you even mentioned it in LOOC yourself. The above quote tells me your reactions is more of a "I'm sorry you feel that way' rather than a "I apologize, I will stop." And the fact you still feel the ban was unwarranted cements that. Take the rest of this ban as time to reconsider how your character acts as a whole. Appeal denied.

We're satisfied with the apllication and the answers provided. Application accepted!

I really dislike how we are playing jenga with the corporation’s colors. It basically throws any set theme they had before out of the window for the sake of aesthetics. I don’t feel very confident in “We are working on writing them to make sense” and similar resonings to explain it, as I have not seen any of this actually happen. Zavod should stay red, and Hephaestus should stay green. NT only makes sense because it conflicted with the SCC’s color scheme.

Keep the discussion civil, please.

Forgot SCC is going to be its own thing. My bad. In that case, I don't see much issue with it. Will just have to get used to the color.

Echoing the thought of coloration. Just changing color schemes on the fly like this are not a good idea. Navy blue with white striped would be good, as it fits NT and also isn't something any of the other corps use atm. besides the weird pink colors, the sprites look good.

There have been way too many cases of people getting lasered and then their lungs popping for me to actually believe this. Lasers also boil blood away and leave high chance of infection (which is probably the most annoying thing in the game). The way I see it, Lasers are more lethal overall, they just take longer to kill somebody, whilst Ballistics are more deadly in shorter bursts due to arterials and the like.

Ditto, with Goldman retired, I have no issue with Sleepy being command again, +1

I can also echo the sentiment behind Goldman. There have been many times where he really pushes the self antagging rule. Constantly forcing Security to release changelings and/or stepping into a cell with them, trying to hire traitors as NT assassins, and so on. There has even been a time where my character was ordered to go to the brig to go face to face with a changeling who claimed to have every intent on murdering me, and I was threatened with arrest if I didn't go. That was frustrating enough to just make me want to cryo, so I did. On top of this, it feels like Goldman does not actually do his job as Captain whilst this all happens. A lot of requests go ignored, Red alert is put on forever, I don't believe I have ever seen him send a fax to central despite multiple reminders. On one round, there was a hostage situation in the brig. He ordered all security to it, as would be expected. The problem is that a hivebot invasion just north of medical then occurred. Goldman ordered all security to stay in the bridge, and threatened them if they tried to leave to deal with the hivebots. These hivebots then broke into medical, forcing everyone to run away, and the round went on like this for another hour to two hours on red alert because Goldman refused to let security do anything about it, and transfer could not be called because of the Red Alert. Goldman also adamantly REFUSED to call the emergency shuttle to save his IC reputation. Normally, I'd be willing to support the app as I know Sleepy is a good roleplayer that can be competent, but I cannot bring myself to support it as long as Goldman behaves like this.

That first Pm is when the ticket started. You were in your office. The reason there was a delay was because my game crashed. PM: Roostercat12->Korinra: Drop the attitude and focus on the ticket, please. PM: Korinra->Roostercat12: Then have mutual respect and stop falsly accusing me. PM: Korinra->Roostercat12: I know where I was and you saying otherwise is disrespectful. Logs exist, if you think I'm lying then go confirm it. PM: Korinra->Roostercat12: So now you've come to me to tell me what "You've been told" several times. I don't care what a namesless faceless accuser is saying about me. Do you have an accusation of something I did wrong or are you just pinging me to tell me someone else is butthurt about me being abrassive in-character too? PM: Korinra->Roostercat12: Ok so let me cut to the simple answer then. Someone told you I broke a rule, I've told you I haven't. Now that we got passed the he-said she-said, where do we go from here? PM: Korinra->Roostercat12: I already told you I was doing my job when you pinged me. So I am not sure why you asked that again by the way (sorry for skipping over that) Firstly, you do not know the full details of what was reported, so do not assume that was the ping I received. "Ticketer: Nope (I read the logs of what they said, the ONLY specific they gave was the search and listening to Command)." Secondly, You do not know who I was talking to about this, or the fact that it was multiple people, evidently, so do not assume there were no more examples. Thirdly, this was more or less exactly how the ticket was going until you went off the handle on a tangent. Fourthly, this is the part where I brought up what you were not doing. Right after this, you went on the tangent about where you were when the ticket started. I was trying to go back to the original ticket as to not get into that argument with you, willing to drop the lie all-together, until you kept bringing it back. PM: Roostercat12->Korinra: Do not try and claim bullshit here. I know what I saw. Aside from that, I have multiple people claiming you have refused to do searches after this as a result, such as the second time that person was brought in. As a side note, you were being told not to STRIP SEARCH the person, not to stop searching entirely. Again, this is exactly what I did, hence the reason you weren't punished for any of this.

The affect on events is a valid concern, as events only happen once. So if you miss it with your character, you miss it. This already causes quite a lot of anger from people who get their slots outrolled during events as is, but adding this into the mix might make things a little more chaotic when they roll around. Though that's more hypothetical than anything.

There is no one right way to play this game. If people want to player one character, then they are welcome to do that. This change should not be implemented because people need to “branch out” as this caters to only SOME players whilst hurting others, and sets a bad precedent.
