Security couldn't handle the situation as we had lost two of them. In fact, an explosion in the research tunnel caused us to lose multiple people (not just security but if your work place just had an explosion that killed several people and a loose biohazard then you'd ABSOLUTELY try to vacate the premises.) The call simply had no merit, and I'd go further to state it was done in a way that did not promote any sort of RP. If anything, it just added more fluff of "wow central is absolutist incompetent despite our lore stating otherwise". TL;DR the shuttle was valid but the merc team didn't get their save the day hero complex filled if the shuttle left with the biohazards bodycount, so it was recalled for OOC purposes and did nothing to promote better RP.

BYOND Key: SatinsPrist666 Staff BYOND Key: Garn Game ID:b6f-cNDh Reason for complaint: Recalling the shuttle for.... absolutely no rightful reason. We had a changling that went full nutters mode on us. Hostile. Took it's final form. Escaped containment. Killed a few people. The usual "oh crap we need to leave" stuff. My HoP did all the necessary steps. I and Rakt raised to red, light the beacon and I sent an emergency broadcast stating the entire reason for us leaving. I did NOT call the shuttle, however, because a Captain arrived. Once the Captain realized shit hit the fan, they got the evac called. No reason not to. The merc team was there to handle the problem while we got everyone off safe. For some reason the shuttle was recalled with absolutely NO RP/IC reason why. Nothing from Central. Nothing. Just a recall. So I ahelped and found out from Prate (who said the shuttle seemed fine) that Garn just over-ruled it. There was absolutely no reason to power call the shuttle. All the RP was there, the round had been pretty successful. My complaint is the general lack of RP that went into why this action was taken other than "I'm head admin and I don't want the shuttle called." Keep in mind, the round ended 5 minutes after the two hour mark (and would have ended at maybe 5 minutes before the 2 hour mark had he not recalled the shuttle in the first place). So there's not much of an excuse for wanting to extend this round out further. If anything, it gave the merc team more time to murder the thing, and less time for the antag to make it to red dock to maybe incite more panic. The second shuttle (made by the Captain AGAIN) came after my ahelp and was uncontested so take that as you will. Evidence/logs/etc: Additional remarks:

The sprites look fantastic. Why do the scrubbers have to move counter clockwise? Who says they can't move clockwise? Vice versa? Make them blink like a strobe light. In the end, the scrubbers do what we, collectively as a community, say they do. Really, these sprites are moving us in the right direction: a unique, custom appearance for Aurora that isn't dated to 2012. I love them.

Will this be going anywhere? I ask because the PR for the new thread says the contributor left the server, however, that doesn't change how severe of a problem this is. A round today nearly had me die from being hit with Plant B-Gone. I mean, there's absolutely no way medical could have gotten to me in time to save me from 300 toxin damage that was gave to my character. Suffered severe brain damage, and stopped breathing. All within less than... five minutes.

But the slow integration of style is exactly how we started changing the Aurora icons. That's a very strange stance to take, Amory, when you, Brainos and Wheezy are he exact reason why we slowly started changing Aurora sprites into better sprites. It's taken months of slow batches, starting with whatever the spriter felt like working on. Example: Brainos's steak sprites. Half the kitchen dishes aren't on that level, yet we have that steak sprite in now because it's good and should be slowly integrated.

I won't respond further to the back and forth Read and I were doing. My bad, I should have clarified.

I won't respond again after this. I'm not removing the complaint because you apologized. The core problem still exists. It's disrespectful to do this to players. Right out of the blue. We weren't even joking around before it happened.

People change, and my opinion on this staff has changed drastically in recent months. I don't want to be messed with. I'm playing my game. Abiding by the rules. Doing what I'm suppose to do as a player and as a Command member. I even organized a lore event without a lore team just so I could witness the community (Dominians) get the culture boost they need while it's being neglected. You haven't spoken to me in months. I'm not close enough to you for this to be considered friendly banter. I'm not just something you can mess with and think "It's just Satin. She'll accept it.". My RP's fairly important to me. I have dedicated Discord to it. Documents. Friendships based from it. I've built a world and enough story line to write a novel if I ever cared to sit down and piece it all together. I play a heavy roleplay server, and all I ask in return is respect. Something I didn't receive, nor do you apparently think I deserve.

BYOND Key: SatinsPrist666 Staff BYOND Key: ReadThisNamePlease Game ID: b5u-dDtM Reason for complaint: It's extended. I am simply RPing in the bar as the Dominians decided to get together and have a feast celebrating the Lore-Canon holiday. Suddenly, my character slaps herself several times. I don't have a slap macro. It's some pretty low, memey LRP actions, and that isn't something I am known to do. Came to find out it was an admin that just decided to make me slap myself. I don't appreciate being messed with this way. If I have to abide by the rules, then admins should as well. They also shouldn't abuse their powers because they think "you'll laugh from it." I'm not a monkey for entertainment. It wasn't funny to me. Furthermore, at round end, I was called a "sour patch kid" by the offending admin because I expressed my distaste for being the butt end of their joke. I'd ALSO like to note Read contacted me on Discord AFTER the round to "apologize" and they only did this because Yonni pointed out that calling me that "name" was a bit rude. I don't believe Read would have apologized to me if Yonni had't said anything. I don't care if it wasn't done in malice. This sort of LRP behavior isn't acceptable. Evidence/logs/etc: Me slapping myself: https://imgur.com/U1jqpjP Me informing LOOC I don't appreciate this behavior. Note I didn't receive an apology: https://imgur.com/sSw2Y8w Read calling me a "sour patch kid" because I don't like being the butt end of their silly LRP joke: https://i.imgur.com/sf4Idk4.png Additional remarks:

They are. Amory's sprites are on this level, they're just a bit more monotone.

that's literally not-- what anyone thinks. We've added a lot of plain... sprites lately, and denying sprites because they're better made is a very strange slope to start sliding down. They're very well done, and we can't "get the spriter friend to sprite for us" because we don't force people to do work that they don't want to do.

Everything Skull just said sums up my view of this suggestion. I couldn't have said it better.

A ban request just showed up on the forums and one of the things mentioned was how "often" the player made complaints on the forums about rulings. The name brings negativity and it was (and can still be) used as canon fodder for baseless ban requests. It does look bad on a person when a lot of their forum posts are "Staff Complaints" instead of "Ruling Appeal".

They are literally-- the best way.... to make a suggestion to lore teams to get a change put in place. One person cannot go to a lore dev and say "hey, I think this is wrong. Fix it." You need the community's input in the matter. What I want does not equal what the community wants. So yes, this thread was entirely reasonable, and very much the proper way to go about getting a change done to lore. A way to SUGGEST a better option be put in place. A easy to read (until I had to do some grand scheme circular logic with you), easy to understand, laid out in front for all to see.... thread of why this suggestion is a good idea.

The restriction in the first place exists because offworlders have only started being employed by NanoTrasen for a little less than a year. But this isn't true. It's only true for Scarabs.

But this still has nothing to do with the argument on whether they can be heads of staff. You're absolutely refusing to listen to the fact that in our CURRENT LORE, they've existed for years upon years. The only reason they're "new" is because we just recently made them a MECHANICAL option. There's no "muh headcanon" about this dude. You are LITERALLY failing to read any sort of concrete evidence against your "MUH LOGIC" responses.

I'm going out on a limb here and speak for a lot of offworlder players when I say--- they have nipples, dude. The naval isn't sprited because to put it along with the "|sunken|" stomach lines would really bloat out the sprite and look terrible. But you've now gone from "Off-worlders are a new species and can't be Command" to "Well the sprite doesn't have nipples so they have to be genetic freaks and not a classification of human." Please, pick an argument.... because it's really hard to follow the debate now.
