FreshRefreshments

Feel free to close this. Moved to Staff Complaints.

BYOND Key: FreshRefreshments. Staff BYOND Key: Garnascus. Game ID: It was pre-round, I left shortly after. Reason for complaint: I was banned for posting Hogwarts Legacy spoilers. Evidence/logs/etc: Additional remarks: I'd like to think I am pretty decent at keeping a clean enough record. I try, at least, to RP good enough. Sometimes i've fucked up. A couple notes, I believe one warning, but more or less generally I try to be better than I was. This is an insane reason to ban someone, permanently, out of nowhere. "Absolutely unacceptable." How petty, do you have to be. Someone, who I won't name in order to keep from any shit happening further, mentioned Hogwarts Legacy being done downloading. Given JK Rowling's reputation, the fact that she is getting royalties from this, the fact that before the game came out it was well known that the game is just Blood Libel with the Jewish stereotypes, the fact that the trans community has begged people not to play this shitty, antisemetic, racist, misogynist's game, I thought most people would be wise enough to realize playing it, let alone mentioning playing it, was just not something you do. I'd like to know which rule I broke that was so severe that I was to be instantly permabanned by the Head Admin. I don't consider it a dick move to spoiler a god awful game under a god awful IP. I don't know how you can enjoy a game like that, knowing how much people asked for you to just not buy it. Given Garnascus has given me a note for an incredibly dumb reason before, this seems par for the course. I would like to be let back onto the server after my, "absolutely unacceptable" behavior. Note: I was suggested by a few people to make a Staff Complaint, instead of an Unban Request, on account that an Unban Request is accepting fault.

BYOND Key: FreshRefreshments. Total Ban Length: Presumably permanent. Banning staff member's Key: Garnascus. Reason of Ban: "You posted major spoilers for Hogwarts Legacy into OOC. Absolutely unacceptable." Reason for Appeal: I'd like to think I am pretty decent at keeping a clean enough record. I try, at least, to RP good enough. Sometimes i've fucked up. A couple notes, I believe one warning, but more or less generally I try to be better than I was. This is an insane reason to ban someone, permanently, out of nowhere. "Absolutely unacceptable."

Reporting Personnel: Rrhajaks Jhrasthinova Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Security Cadet Game ID: ch7-dckv Personnel Involved: Shivani Narain, Captain - Offender Rrhajaks Jrasthinova, Security Cadet - Witness Brooklynn Fischer, Security Cadet - Witness Shirin Abbasi, Head of Security - Witness M.A.X., Machinist - Witness/Offender(?) Ixone Strelizt, former Officer, currently Deceased - Victim Secondary Witnesses: Time of Incident: Aboard the Horizon on 2464 Real Time: 5/25/2022, around 6-6:10(?) PM EST Location of Incident: Partially within the Security Department, partially within Robotics Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [X] - Neglect of Duty [ ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [X] - Misconduct [ ] - Other _____ (Place an x in the box that applies. If other, replace line and specify.) Overview of the Incident: During the shift, there was some sudden and rapidly growing resentment and vitriol between some members of security, specifically Ixone Strelitz and an ISU unit. This quickly grew in seriousness, with Commander Abbasi seemingly referring to him as a "fucking Imperialist" over comms. Ixone swung out and hit the Head of Security, who responded by using less than lethal methods (a baton on stun) in order to drop her. She responded by taking out her laser rifle, and opening fire. This one stepped in to flash her, and help take her down. As this was clear attempted murder, capital punishment was deemed a fitting punishment. However, we then heard that Captain Narain had ordered the Dominian to cyborgification. There was great unrest over this, and all she had to say is that she's already had it done. What Ixone did was certainly attempted murder, over religious beliefs, but to submit her to cyborgification is beyond cruel. Otherwise, cyborgification is NOT a capital punishment. It gives off the feeling that it was done merely as a scare tactic. Otherwise, one must put themselves in Dominian shoes; she was submitted to the most horrifying experience one could have, damning her forever. Regardless if you believe in the Tribunal or not, this is her truth, and her punishment was given to be horrifically spiteful. Submitted Evidence: Unfortunately, she did not grab evidence from in the shift, but there are extensive statements on the matter over both Security and General comms. Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [X] - Yes [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: Shirin Abbasi, Head of Security, he said there was not much he could do. Actions taken: She was told to pick her battles, when she displayed her incredible displeasure with this situation. As a result, she thought long and hard, and has decided to send an Incident Report in to call on this act of thoughtless cruelty. Additional Notes: None of note.

"You see it, yeah?" The Tajara slowly nodded her head, swirling the foamy black glass. "She pulled it out of a bag. You saw all of them do it, too. None of them are marked." She looks between each of the other Tajara in the bathroom, swallowing a hard lump in her throat. It was true- the black tablet that had been dropped in with no small amount of drama was the same, for each of them. Plucked free, without looking. It was the same, for each of them. Rain pittered and pattered on the roof of the Long Eclipse, a soothing sound that did little to sway her worries. "You know what's going to happen?" . . . "She drinks it. . .and has a good night, with all of her friends." A quartet of four grins around her. "That's right." "They've been through a lot together, all of them." "You should be proud. All of you should be." The four other Tajara raised their glasses, to a toast. "To freedom! Of the PRA, of the DPRA, of the NKA! They hold citizenships- but they can't hold your lives!" "To freedom! Of the Suns! Of the damned Pantheon!" "To freedom! Raskara, grant us freedom!" She looked at the glass again, and then clinked it with the others, steeling herself and grinning. She was free, for maybe the first time ever in her life. A new home, with people who respected her. Who enjoyed her presence. Who wanted her to be happy. She tilted her head back, squeezing her eyes shut and downing the veritable sludge that was in her drink. And the world swayed into an invigorating mess of heightened senses. . . . . . . . . . With a gasp, she sat up, eyes bolting open. She was in a shitty apartment of Little Adhomai, sweating up a storm. She was under some silk covers, clinging to her fur like wet clothes after being dunked in a pool, only nauseatingly warm. Her racing eyes fell upon another Tajaran next to her, back turned to the woman. She didn't even recognize the fur, rising up from the bed and prying herself from sheets, feeling her mind race- or was that blood rushing to her head, causing her to stumble some as she yanked a foot free from the uncomfortable bed. She felt herself hyperventilating, thought she couldn't guess if it was because she was overly warm, or- oh, god. Bile was practically forcing it's way up her throat, climbing like the fingers of deranged monsters. She stumbled towards a balcony's sliding door, catching herself as she fell again, and yanking it open to the smell of cigarette smoke. "Hey hey, she's awake-!" Words were silenced with a few snickers or sighs of pity as she pushed towards the guard rail and leaned over the edge, hurling profusely. Once finished, she sagged a bit, staring up at the sky. It was like- about 9 or 10 AM. They were in the nightclub at around 11 PM- but it was also raining, and there was absolutely no sign of any dampness in the air, or any puddles on the ground. Nothing except now her vomit in the alleyway. She felt a hand patting her on the back, soothingly. "Heeey, hey. You're alright. Long night, huh?", came one of her friends voices- apparently, three of them were already out there, having a little smoke party together. Wait- no. Two friends. . .and one she didn't recognize at all. "How. . .long was she out. . .?" One of them looks at a phone. "Ten hours? . . .wait- no- like. . .thirty three?" She boggles. "What about the-", nudging her head over to the bed. "Oh- probably scared the fuck out of you, didn't she- no, she just needed the bed. Vamasi and Shazza took up the couch, passed out- foot to face. She pushed you aside and passed out." At least one worry assuaged- with a pat down, her clothes were saturated with sweat, but still on her. "Hey." She glanced over, slowly. "Vamasi's downstairs now, making this shit he calls eggs in a nest." "They were about to go grab some, now. Come eat it out here. Hang out for a while. You wanna join, or you got business shit? Might wanna brush your teeth first, before doing that.", he snickered at her. ". . .she feels like she hasn't eaten in days.", she murmurs, rising and wiping her mouth off.

/me does this to beepsky's grave

+1. As others have stated, Burrito has the rage a wiki maintainer needs. Thats really all that can be said at this point. They've done good work in the past, they're requesting to be able to continue doing good work now.

"Have a good day; The SuperBites way!" Type (e.g. Planet, Faction, System): MegaCorp. Describe this proposal in a single sentence (12 word maximum): Welcome to Mr. Meaty. How will this be reflected on-station? Best case, a new contractor group that can be Service or Science. At least, they can be ghetto-made with the loadout and fast food in the kitchen or researching new and inventive food or nutritional methods in Science. Does this faction/etc do anything not achieved by what already exists? Getmore is currently ahead in various junk food matters, but it is an NT subsidary. It may be interesting to see how a Getmore working chef and a SuperBites chef have some sort of rivalry. Why should this be given to lore developers rather than remain player created lore? It is easier to disperse lore on the wiki and via in game mechanics than just one person editing the loadout. Do you understand that if this is submitted, you are signing it away to the lore team, and that it's possible that it will change over time in ways that you may not forsee? Yes. Long Description: Originally starting off as a local burger joint in 2258 in the midwest of Sol, Isaac Wentworth made quite a name for himself after creating the Super Bite Burger in the kitchen of what was once called The Basted Butter, taking the world by storm. His burgers were world renowned within years, with online supporters helping to spread the word of his amazing, one of a kind super stacked burger with a special secret ingredient, which remains a closely guarded secret (suspected by some to simply be eggplant). Isaac became famed for the content, but also well beloved for his contributions to charity through donations, including those to obesity health organizations. With this jumpstart, it was quite easy to begin setting up a chain of restaurants, with the original restaurant taking the name of SuperBites and the change spreading from there. Isaac has been wildly successful ever since. At least, thats the story SuperBites purports on its kids menu. In reality, the history of SuperBites is a winding tunnel of ups and downs, which only managed to avoid bankruptcy by sabotaging Getmore's public image, stealing their ideas while adding their own "twist" (which tended to just be making it fattier and greasier), and using corporate loopholes to weasel their way into trademark ownership. Through scummy, shameless and underhanded tactics, they've managed to become a MegaCorporation in their own right, though among the weaker of such holders of titles. While it is true that Isaac Wentworth was the original creator of the Super Bite Burger, it had very little traction in practice, until one of his descendants and current CEO of the company, Vondell Wentworth (formerly Kendyll Wentworth before an operation in 2451), decided to bring it back in Martian circles, where it exploded in popularity as a food challenge, before being downsized slightly and offered as an expensive but hefty meal (likely helped by the fact that it can be purchased in SuperBite stores as a two part meal, one set as a salad of vegetables and scrambled eggs, the other as a quintuple burger with cheese.) SuperBites has a particular presence in Eridani, where the culture surrounding the corporation is much less cheap. Due to the largely vegan diet of the Eridani population, both staple soy options and experimental new meals are tested here, helped by Vondell being a particularly successful businessman from Oran. Clean dreadlocks, a shaven face, augmented but still natural brown eyes and a pearly smile mark the image of a man that many Eridani citizens aspire to be. He is, however, the original coiner of the term "suit smiles" among Dregs for this very reason. Vondell seems intent on putting past the shady tactics of the past, openly approving of friendly relationships with the other MegaCorporations and actively turning what was once real bad blood between Getmore and SuperBites into a friendly competition, citing how Skrell see such; as a constant stepladder, to better themselves and their products. For this reason, SuperBites has locations in the slums and suburbs of Mendell City, particularly for tourists looking to sample regional foods not served in other places.

I am going to bring up a topic that I feel I am distinctly biased towards, within reason. What is your opinion of the Queendom specifically? I understand that it is conflicting among some people. Is it unfunded? Or is it one of the aspects of lore you would want to see used in the greater scheme in some way? Since its addition, nothing has been done with it, and I am curious if you would wish to pursue something with them.

Shame that you think that. I don't.

This is not about your character. This is about the efforts of a person to look androgynous. Or someone who just naturally looks that way. I'm frankly incredibly sorry if your character being unable to x-ray vision into my androgynous off-worlder's pants and tell if they have a dick or not is losing out on a big feature, but its a feature I would be very, very happy to get rid of. +1. They/Them can and should be added. With extra thought put into the fact that Skrell can tell each others gender, since, they would know, but other species cannot tell a Skrells gender.

Zekuvazh, ten minutes into the round when cargo gets a little wild.
