  1. Alright, application accepted.
  2. The backstory is great, but, it may be a little awkward trying to get people to roleplay along with a disaster that would have undoubtedly made the news core systems-wide. And, IPCs are not really much older than human AI itself, which is roughly 22 years. That's a pretty reasonable amount of time for someone to remember a bluespace gate being sabotaged. I don't think anything like that was ever recorded happening in the lore, but, I won't let that stop you. I'm simply concerned about how you intend to make it so?
  3. Let me start off by saying, once again, I am not accusing you of grief. I did already mention this but I guess you took it out of context or something. It doesn't matter. Something to consider in that conflict within the detective's office is how you would have eliminated the opposition. You certainly couldn't have headgored them with the .38 revolver. That is pretty much the whole issue here; you are performing cookie-cutter persistent antag play, even if it was accidental, it is still persistent. Become antagonist, obtain shotgun, and headgore the opposition. You, yourself, are already aware of this trend. We punish other antags for this as well, such as those who bomb the station every time they roll traitor. If this were true, I fail to see why three flashbangs were necessary. This ties into the fact that the first act of real aggression in the room was to headgore the nearest downed suspect. Knocking the ban reason down to "improper escalation" is really missing the point. Having a history of overescalation of headgoring, being warned for it, and then it happening again. Feel free to appeal this on the forums. The ban was because you have a history of overescalating the use of headgoring, which is something that should be used lightly and in good taste. "Constantly" does not fall under these two categories. The ban is not because you overescalated force in general. In short, all of this is pretty much about persistence and why it should not be so. Please, consider this a break from the nature of how security (and security antag) is played and try to gain some perspective. I honestly think it would be good for you. This appeal is to be considered denied in 24 hours pending addition of new information.
  4. I apologize for the delay. I do bring some bad news, however. It seems you have only played on this server for less than a week. Your last seen date was October 27, six days after your first seen date. You also only have one character. With this in mind, I'm afraid I'm going to have to deny your application. Please spend some more time playing on the server to get a better feel for our universe, our characters, and our style.
  5. It was not an "active firefight" until the flashbangs started teleporting in. I was ghosting the room pretty much since they brought the head of security there. They had been torturing him, yes, but they did not start killing them until security made their move to take them down. Something I found interesting (and the most indicative of what I perceived to be intent to collect valids) was that the VERY FIRST attack log of the entire fight, was Noir headgoring Joe Vicks with a shotgun. This struck me as disturbing especially coming from a security regular (I hold security regulars to a higher standard that new people - they should know very well how to properly do their job, not saying you don't here) as Joe Vicks was not even part of the fire fight. They were on the floor, deaf and stunned, and they got their head turned into a red pile of waste. Meanwhile, the only other hostile in the room who was actually standing up was beating the head of security's skull in with a telebaton until he was killed by friendly fire. That was the biggest point out of all of them, but I will address some of the other points in your appeal as well. Starting off with "not discussing the issue with other parties." Why did I need to? I witnessed you break the rules. It was pretty black and white. If someone gets griefed, they cannot tell me not to ban the griefer because they weren't offended or were "okay" with being griefed. It doesn't work like that. Speaking of grief, I did not intend to refer to you as a griefer when I said "that does not undo the grief" or whatever I said, cannot remember ver batim. I did neglect to inform you that I was not calling you a griefer. So, no, this was not grief by rule definitions. Finally, you were a loyalist, yes, but antagonists are still expected to escalate properly and make things interesting for the other players. It could have been literally anyone in your position and I still would have punished them for it. It was a play that I determined to be in bad taste. With your history, it just compounds that punishment. And as a last little note, you did perform the mechanical point blank shot, as the logs did state "Noir fires the shotgun point blank at Joe Vicks!" which requires their mob to actually have been clicked on at least once with a loaded firearm on harm intent. I will not immediately close this appeal as I wrote this on my lunch break and I would like to hear your thoughts on this. I will come back in a few hours or so.
  6. Apologies for the delay. I must require you to stretch out the backstory a little more to at least two paragraphs. Did Skip's owner just send him off with nothing? He wouldn't be considered "free" at that point. It would be completely legal for pretty much anyone to find an unowned synthetic and say "I own you now." If Skip has very little care to interact with organics, why does it want to teach them about synthetics so?
  7. Application accepted. Sorry for the delay.
  8. What does this mean? I may just be interpreting it wrong, but, I believe this to be something that may lead to excuses to hunt for valids. Could you elaborate a bit more on this?
  9. If the term "Positronic Brain" was coined in 2364, but AI was not in use until 2437 (seventy-three years between the two), why was it acknowledged as a "Brain" if it was really no different than a specialized computer? We don't really call our CPUs "brains" colloquially or otherwise.
  10. Unfortunately, after reading your already extensive line of notes, job bans, and server bans, I have decided to deny your request for appeal. The banning moderator has allowed me to take over for them since they are dealing with real world things right now. You have notes extending back to 2015, which, I normally do not consider because they are old. In this case, however, I must because they outline the same issues that your notes from 2017 present. Bad security play, being a minge, and not speaking English. You have one three day ban that I saw, a week ban, a permaban from antag, a week ban from security, and now finally, a permenant ban from the server. I think this was a just and proper action considering your history. As a note, you being banned from so many other servers (especially low RP servers where it is actually very hard to get banned) supports your list of notes quite well. This did not weigh into my decision at all, though. Just something to consider. As of currently, there was little chance of your appeal being accepted. Allow some time to pass, and try again, and minds may change. This is not a guarantee, however.
  11. As a note, the station is just the NSS Aurora. Other than that, application accepted.
  12. https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=IPC You should probably read this, as the lore blurb in-game is not nearly enough to be informed about the species. I will check this application again tomorrow. Please make any desired modifications or whatever you may wish in this time.
  13. I'm afraid you will have to put in just a bit more effort here. The backstory is not very convincing and very bare bones. Try to accentuate the IPC rather than just the situations it gets in. Please try to accomplish this within a week or so. Marking as attention needed until then.
  14. If your character was on a Vox ship, I don't think they should have any more knowledge about the Vox than what is already known. Are you okay with this?
  15. Industrial IPCs are about as powergame of a race as you can get, so, I need your full understanding that any level of powergaming as an industrial IPC will not be tolerated. While you say you are improving, and I have little reason to doubt you, your history still comes up as an issue.
  16. A valid character idea but I'm afraid you will still need to provide more information than what is presented in the backstory. Please try to stretch it to two paragraphs.
  17. An understandable reaction, I suppose. I will lift your ban, but, you should read the server rules before joining a round again. The server rules are not only rules, but guide new players on expected IC behavior in-game, that way you assimilate fit in better without having any idea what you're doing.
  18. While I'm able to see through the memes and see a washed up robot who just wants to be famous again, I do have to agree that the backstory's a tad short and that the name could probably use a change.
