  1. Yeah, I understand that. In that case I'll just take the ban as is, I acted stupidly and should be punished accordingly. Consider my appeal retracted.
  2. To be clear, what exactly am I supposed to do, reasonably in character, if doctors are screaming for my help with scanning and whatnot?
  3. As for the firefight, I'm not sure what to say. I was trying to get back to medical, the firefight was at bridge, and I was trying to get past cryo. I did not INTENTIONALLY run into a merc fight, I was trying to get away as fast as possible. If denied, I'll take this with grace, but I'm honestly quite confused.
  4. BYOND Key: Dr. Farson Total Ban Length: 7 Days Banning staff member's Key: Roostercat12 Reason of Ban: Reason for Appeal: To be clear, two things were made apparent to me, one, I was allowed to help out medical by WickedCybs, they really needed it, but RoosterCat disagreed with me on this. I'm not sure WHAT the communications issue is here, but I'm rather confused. Two, I was MOST ASSUREDLY not supposed to take the route I did to medical. I was TRYING to get OUT of the firefight, I didn't mean to get involved. I apologise if that is what happened, but that was not my intent. as for the "Playing medic" issue, I was explicitly told by WickedCybs that I was ALLOWED to assist medical as needed. Which I did. It was a mass-casualty, and doctors were screaming for my help. It's not like I was doing surgery or anything, I was just running triage.
  5. Make it 7 then. Also, they didn't vote mainly because they did not like those running. Despite them identifying the most with Symbiosism (which I like for ooc reasons), they chose not to vote because they still didn't like the candidate. I can't really elaborate too much, it's a stylistic choice on my part, because it fits their personality. They're a caring, yet apathetic when it comes to politics.
  6. What is Vutlit's Social Credit Score? 9/10 How does Vutlit feel about the Federation? Vutlit feels very fondly of the federation, having served patriotically in their military. Where is Vutlit's family? Still in the Federation or have they moved abroad with Vutlit? Keep in mind that children are not allowed on the Horizon. They were left back home. What job will Vutlit have on the Horizon exactly? Medical doctor, with Zeng. Is Vutlit a Listener or Reciever? They are more a receiver, but are more towards neutral. What religion/belief do they follow? Weishii How does Vutlit feel about C'thur and Federation Diona? They think that they are welcome addition to the Jargon Federation. How does Vutlit feel about Skrell who left the Federation as refugees? How do they feel about Skrell who were born outside the Federation? They have no particularly strong feelings. but they think people should do what is best for them. How does Vutlit feel about Megacorporations? Specifically their activities in the Federation, but also in general. They think megacorporations are a step forward, but easily corrupted. Who did Vutlit vote for in the latest election? Do they still stand by their vote? They chose not to vote. How old is Vutlit exactly? You mention that they're part of the Supernova Era of Skrell, but no exact age has been given. 89 Where did Vutlit go to university? What did they study?" They studied at Aliose Medical University. Additionally, I will ask after the round.
  7. BYOND Key: Dr. Farson Character Names: Alexander Farson Species you are applying to play: Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Purple and yellow Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question. Why do you wish to play this specific race: I am generally planning on playing this race due to my severe interest in skrell. I have always been fascinated by their culture, their pragmatic yet psionic nature, complex emotions, and whatnot. I understand I've had issues in the past, but It's been my experience that moving past them is the best way to move forward, and grow as a person. I think skrell will allow me to branch out more, and become a more avid player of the game. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: For one, they are psionic, and they are a rather pragmatic and logical species. But I think their psionic nature leaves a lot to be discussed about their relatively empathic nature. They're a fascinating species, one marred by overall misunderstanding in character, and out of character. I think what makes them so different is just their... overall alien nature, and the way they carry themselves amongst humans. Fascinating, if I do say so myself. Character Name: Jahara Vutlit Please provide a short backstory for this character Vutlit was born on the skrellian homeworld, Qerrbalak, in the city of Ka'lo, to a clutch of four eggs. They are an Axiori skrell, and were always fascinated by the machinations of alien bodies. Given that they were born during the Supernova era, their parents treated them as a star child, With their Qrri'myaq taking particular interest in them. At the age of four, they entered primary school, earning various accolades for their studious nature. A naturally curious and interested skrell, they began to look into the field of xenomedicine even more. Particularly the interest of studying alien species in a clinical setting. But as time went on, they began focsing on other talents. Their Psionic talent. They honed it to the best of their ability, past what a normal skrell could, and were eventually recruited into the Qukala, despite having a partner who they were to soon perform the J'oxa with. After their service in the military, the J'oxa went through, and Vutlit found their mate to be kind and caring, and also intensely psionic. It was a match made amongst the stars, for certain. They lived together for some time, before having children, a hatch of three, and as such, much time was spent taking care of their Starchildren. But the call of the stars was never gone, they eventually joined with Zeng-Hu, a skrell-aligned medical firm, and began their medical journey. It was a new frontier, one that they were ready to take on. What do you like about this character? I really like the lore of this character, I spent some time thinking about it, and I think it's going to mesh really well into the server, How would you rate your role-playing ability? It wasn't good, and I'm still improving, but I think I can move past my erroneous ways, and get into the groove of things. Notes: This is me reapplying. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
  8. I did go play bay, yes. My internet was indeed out for 20 minutes, but again, at the time I did not think to contact an admin regarding the issue. I had went and used a friend's data connection to play bay around 5 mins after the DC. I'll admit, it would have been more productive to relog, but I had not thought of that at the time, due to my prior line of reasoning (me not focusing on the issues regarding player slots.) Primarily, I believe this to be an issue of a misunderstanding of the rules, and specifically, a series of mistakes on my part. While I'm willing to accept and abide by any decision that's made on this matter, I really opened this ticket to provide some clarification.
  9. BYOND Key: Dr. Farson Total Ban Length: 2 days Banning staff member's Key: peppermint96 Reason of Ban: Went SSD in limited slot role (chef), did not inform admins Reason for Appeal: This is really rather simple: My internet went out, and I DCed. It came on shortly after, like around 20 mins later, but I didn't think it was worth it to rejoin, as I thought someone would have either moved me to cryo, or the round would have ended. I didn't think to contact an admin after the fact, on the discord, because again, I was thinking about game progression, and I didn't think the chef was really as important as something like, perse, a medical doctor or a security officer. I admit I wasn't thinking about the number of slots for said roles, and assumed someone would move me to cryogenics. But during the period I was DCed there honestly wasn't much I could do.
  10. Of course. I was going off of the basic lore page, so here are my posts after reading ALL the other pages. 1. What planet is Voluquo from? Qerrbalak, specifically the city of Ka'lo. They are of the Axiori subspecies. 2. What is Voluquo's Social Credit Score? 8/10 - Voluquo has a high social credit score, as they are outwardly supportive of the Jargon Federation, have not committed crimes, and follow Weishii. They also have taken efforts to reproduce with their Qu'Poxii, having undergone the J’ox’a with them. 3. How does Voluquo feel about the Federation? Voluquo is overtly supportive of the federation, and they actively take part in effort to contribute to it. They believe, as the home of the skrell, they should work towards helping their fellow members of the federation, to ensure that something like the Glorsh does no re-occur. 4. When you say Voluquo joined the Military, do you mean the Qukala? I was considering either the Tupkala or the Qukala, yes. More likely, however, due to their psionic potential, they would be put in a position involving the use of such talents, along with their medical skills, perhaps as a ship's counsellor, or a medical officer. 5. What kind of relationship did they have with their partner? Did they form a Quya? How did their J'ox'a go, if so? As previously mentioned, they had a J'ox'a with their partner. It went well. They found out that their partner is an artistic thinker; one that thinks outside the box and wishes to strive towards artistic excellence. They often present ideas to Voluquo that they would normally find unconventional, which they enjoy. On the contrary, Voluquo was able to show that they are very pragmatic, following an adherence to logic and rationality, but also deeply considering the emotions of others. They both believe that they complement eachother's intellect, and as such performed the Quya. 6. Is Voluquo a Listener or Reciever? They are a receiver, being both psionically proficient and sensitive. This has led to some more open doors to them, and some closed doors, and has resulted in a difference in lifestyle for them and their Qu'Poxii (starlover). 7. What religion/belief do they follow? As previously mentioned, Voluquo follows Weishii. 8. How does Voluquo feel about C'thur and Federation Diona? If Voluquo was in the Qukala, how do they feel about their full intergration into it? They feel that as long as those who are willing to be loyal to defending their homeland remain that way, they see no problem with minor integration. However, they do somewhat oppose the full integration of the Lukala into the Qukala, but has not yet found a logical reason other than their personal feelings, so often disregards this in normal conversation. 9. Does Voluquo have any thoughts of the Traverse Refugee Crisis, and the Skrell Refugees in Biesel? They do not agree with Biesel's policies regarding the forced enlistment in the TCFL, or the initial treatment of skrell refugees. For those refugees willing to escape the combat, they deemed it saddening that the individuals were mistreated, and then forced to work in a military. 10. How does Voluquo feel about Megacorporations making progress in the Federation via the Special Economic Zones? Voluquo has no official stance on the SEZ's as they have not personally encountered the effects of it, however they are supportive of Zeng Hu, as they have been loyal employers to them. 11. Who did Voluquo vote for in the recent Election? They are a follower of Symbiosism, so they voted for: 12. Voluquo is 82 years old, which places them in the "Supernova Era" of Skrell, this was a time of little births for the Skrell, how did their parents treat them? As a supernova child, they were treated carefully, and prizedly by their parents. Their Qrri'Myaq and Qraa'Myaq took extreme care in teaching the young tadpole about the importance of the stars and learning new things, and this led to them eventually seeking their travel to human space.
  11. BYOND Key: Dr. Farson Character Names: Alexander Farson Species you are applying to play: Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Light Blue Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question. Why do you wish to play this specific race: I've always been fascinated by the skrell and their culture, specifically their decentralised way of living, and their attunation to psionics. I've found it quite fascinating in my interaction with skrell on the server, and I greatly enjoy interactng with the species. I think it would also be good for me to diversify my character roster with more alien individuals, and I hope that at some point I can expand my roleplaying skills through the various different cultures and species in the game. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The skrell are a pragmatic race, and a race of mostly intellectuals. They tend to observe more than act, and generally focus on the "long" view of life, valuing the greater good over individual gain. Skrell tend to express their emotions both psionically and through body language and their words, due to their lack of facial muscles. Skrell are very descriptive, and tend to emote through words, and are less affected by traditional insults and stress. Character Name: Vuloquo Xrrili Please provide a short backstory for this character: Vuloquo Xrrili was born in an egg clutch of three eggs. As they grew from tadpole to that of a young skrell, they began their journey through not only the psionic wake, but also life itself. Having a pair of friendly parents, they entered their first primary school at the age of five. They did well in primary school, and reached maturity rather quickly, completing all the necessary courses throughout all of their schooling. They were unremarkable for a skrell to say the least. It was soon, however, after they completed their medical training, that they decided to join the Jargon Federation's Military. They underwent the traditional genetic treatments. It was here that they met one of their closest partners, and they went on to pursue a relationship with them, continuing even after they left the military. Their partner soon left as well, and by then Vuloquo Xrrili was 82 years old. It was time for them to start a new era in their life, so they would not be labelled as 'lazy' by their peers. They decided to pursue a career with Zeng-Hu, given their friendly relationship with the Jargon Federation. They were soon transferred to the odin, before then being transferred again to tha aurora. So begins their new story, now with a partner, and a stable, competitive job. What do you like about this character?: I enjoy this character mainly because it's my introduction to the skrellian world. I still have a lot to learn, but I think I can do well. How would you rate your role-playing ability? I believe my roleplaying ability to be around average. I tend to try my best to stick to a particular character gimmick, and if something goes wrong, I try to remedy it.
  12. Thank you for offering clarification, please know I completely respect your decision. On the note of funny names, my IRL doctor is actually called Micheal Cummings, and he used to be a GYNECOLOGIST.
  13. Let me be frank, apologies in advance for my curt response. I just want to say this. It feels like you're throwing out the possibility of change entirely here. Refusing to acknowledge that, considering where I was, I have changed. As for the booing, I have stated in my previous post that it was a stupid, spur of the moment mistake on my part. I don't see how continuing the argument will change that. As of now I just want to let this be over, stop talking about yesterday, and focus on actual constructive feedback. I have taken the effort to respond to everyone's posts here in a calm and respectful manner. Having to explain the same action multiple times to different people is really getting on my nerves. If you have an issue with my behavior, I accept that. But all the issues you speak of have actively been resolved, and effort has been put in to ensure they are not repeated. Ignoring that, and continuing to reference said behavior, without offering a tangible alternative, such as what some other here have suggested (i.e. playing for longer or working to improve reputation), is not, in my personal opinion, constructive feedback.a I feel like we're all beating a dead horse at this point.
  14. I see all your points. But again, my response is the same for all of them. I appreciate the feedback, but have since changed drastically. I'm aware of the pattern of behavior, and I've actively worked to change that pattern. To be VERY clear, the tophat issue was a joke, one I didn't quite get. It has since been resolved, and I have acknowledged that it was a joke misinterpreted by me. I really think we should discontinue conversation about the tophat. I've answered three or four posts now about it and to be honest it is getting a bit tedious having to explain the same thing over and over again. Even the handling admin admitted he didn't know why it's such a big deal. I booed the boss because my character worked for Zeng hu, and it was a zavod rep speaking. I admit it wasn't the greatest decision, and it was a spur of the moment thing. My stupid brain went "zavod bad = boo" The cane incident was because I was playing when I was off my meds. I have made it very clear I was not in a good part of my life at that time. I was suicidal irl, so that was a serious issue for me. I have since changed medications and am now a lot more stable. Finally the Koi's was me trying to get food from a vending machine extremely quickly, and forgetting to read the text. I had accidentally eaten the bar thinking it was chocolate oocly, and not bothering to read the ft. I do hope this sheds some light on these issues.
  15. Oh. Huh. to Clarify, the PDA did NOT say that. I apologise.
  16. Alright. That's respectable, however, I do disagree with you on some points. Specifically, I feel that clarifying an issue does not constitute taking things personally. I simply want to gain constructive feedback on things, and If i disagree with someone OOCly, I'd rather settle things OOCly than metagrudge. But I do understand your take on things. I apologise deeply for being "that guy". It's not someone I strive to be.
  17. I don't believe you have all the information here. I did all three. I rolled with it by refusing to take the hat off, as it fits the character. I also had ahelped it, and was told to resolve it icly. I stated it in LOOC before I was told it was an IC issue, before the adminhelp was responded to, and discontinued the LOOC once I was told to resolve it ICly by an admin. I had stated in LOOC that it had been "approved by an admin" and then proceeded to deal with it icly. In that moment, I was significantly confused as to whether or not it even was an OOC/IC issue, and had adminhelped for clarification. I even went as far to contact a CCIA agent in the game, via PDA, and reuqest legal representation for my character. @MattAtlas Was the admin handling all three of my ahelp tickets. I do however apologise for the misunderstanding it caused.
  18. I would like to clarify, as previously stated, I have changed a lot since then. I do ky best to focus on issues icly and resolve them as such. I will keep this in mind however, and continue to work to resolve my issues icly. Additionally, if you wish to extend the normal probationary period for command staff, to allow me to prove my readiness for such a role, I would he willing to do so. I recall @Triogenix stating that they'd like to see more of my new behavior, and I agree on that matter. Extending the probationary period to a month, with reviews every week, should hopefully solve this issue. Thank you for your feedback, it is duly noted.
  19. BYOND Key: Dr. Farson Staff BYOND Key: Melariara Game ID: cfy-aTjQ Reason for complaint: I used the name Dick Richards for my Investigator character, thinking it would be witty, and was promptly told it was immature, despite the fact that not only is it an incredibly common name, but also one shared by a prominent director. When I contensted this with the admin, they promptly told me that "it's a reference name" so I couldn't use it. I find this rather irritating. Evidence/logs/etc:
  20. I'm aware of all of these, and have since stopped doing such. Something I had mentioned in the application actually. However, I would be willing to make an alternate character should it be needed. However I do very much appreciate the feedback!
  21. BYOND key: Dr. Farson Character names: Alexander Farson How long have you been playing on Aurora?: 5 or so years, but I've honestly lost track. Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? I was banned a few times for working outside of my role, however that was a few months ago, and I have since worked to fix my roleplay issues. While the offences were serious, I truly believe I have changed, and am currently an active administrator on another SS13 Server. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: To ensure departmental fucntion and efficiency for one, but also to make sure that the workplace staff are working together. If a head of staff isn't able to rally their crew, then what good is a department? On that note, I think that OOCly a head of staff should be willing to help others learn the department, and work towards helping the playerbase as a whole. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Personally, I think it's very important for whitelisted roles to educate others on behavior, but also on why it's important to have diversity in roles. I feel it's their job to encourage others to apply, and to encourage people to take the opportunity to experiment and have fun. They should be respectful members of the community, and work to benefit other players. Additionally, I will work to strive to uphold them by working my hardest to further integrate with the community, and help as best I can. Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career? After the recent events with the Sol Fleet, and violet dawn, the phoron shortage hit. My character, to continue affording their lifestyle, opened up a private practice. Now that they're unable to continue working there, given the new vessel, they are requesting a promotion. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? Chief Medical officer. Primarily, I plan on playing CMO as my character Farson, given they've had significant experience in the medical field. It will be interesting having a CMO who specialisises in psychiatry, and I think it'll really add something to the atmosphere. I plan on introducing a new character as captain, or Head of Personnel. Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Absolutely, I have. The Chief Medical officer, the role which I am applying for, is responsible for crew health. They ensure that the medbay runs efficiently, and works to make things good for all the crew, and coordinates lifesaving efforts. The captain is responsible for commanding the station. They issue orders, and make the really important decisions, while listening to their senior staff respectfully. Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.: Ainslie Glover, as Station Captain or Head of Personnel. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Absolutely. Extra notes: I know I've had my history, but I think I've made a radical difference in my behaviors.
  22. BYOND Key: Dr. Farson Game ID: cc7-dojp Player Byond Key/Character name: Hakura Yamazaki Staff involved: Not Ahelped Reason for complaint: Bad RP Approximate Date/Time: 2021-07-19, around 6.30 PM CST Basically, Hakura kept initiating fights with SImon kistler, another member of security, by shouting ICly racist shit, and even barged into medbay to yell while we were treating him that he should die. Personally I believe they took it way too far, and I'm really not impressed with it. IC, simon was willing to talk it over, and meanwhile the ISD kept telling me to get out or they'd arrest me, even though I was asked by the warden to speak to Hakura about it. Overall, I'm just very unimpressed with the behavior that round, and I'd like it looked into. For reference I was playing my Psych character that round, Alexander Farson. I didn't happen to record any of it, but you can ask the people who play Yhara Atiyeh, and Mariana Ortez, because they both saw it and signed my IR.
  23. +1 from me. Definitely add defibs and shit, and this would go nicely with the proposed autocompressor module
