I believe its more to do with Skrell being deeply more trusted as allies of Humans, or rather, Humans as allies of Skrell. I think CE makes plenty of sense, HoS is a no, and Captain is a why not. CE work seems like second nature to Offworlders who live on ships, but HoS I generally disagree with. I don't think the lanky boys are capable of sticking it out for work as one.

If we coded it for cloaks (which will be missed), then it should be easy enough to apply it to the Hide Mantle. One of the shames of being an Unathi Miner is having to leave your Mantle in your bag, and if you're like me, forgetting it most of the round.

Maybe allow it to slow walk too, since AI holograms have ghost speed. I don't know how much mileage you would get out of it, but it seems like an interesting tool to have on hand. Id say compound this with allowing a hologram further from its pad.

I believe the reason both Tajarans and Unathi have digitigrade feet biologically is to balance out their tail. I really do not think this is that big of a deal.

Someone suggested the idea of Raiders having trash bags to spawn with, instead of normal bags, which I think is an amazing compromise between theme and mechanics.

I agree with some, not with others. I don't think QM should be whitelisted, I don't think KAs should be removed. However, Cargo arming up should be a contextual thing. Are they arming up because Security is acting really funky and they've got terrible vibes? Or are they arming up to go hunt down the Wizard who they watched turn into a skeleton? It even allows some cargo techs to get some nice fear-RP with one another about genuinely being forced to gun down Security if they come after Cargo. I wouldn't take away that much. And on the matter of meme QMs, they should be cracked down on. Thats more a matter of other people reporting it, rather than a problem with the role. The Chaplain Role invites a lot of shitters, but sometimes you just get shitters. It wouldn't be worth removing the role for people who use it.

I am often tabbed out. Id say make it off by default, and make it something you can turn on if you choose. It doesn't hurt to have an option people can use if they want, like, say, you're often tabbed out while in game.

Glad to know you hate it. I'll keep that in mind. I take things very literally. So, when you say, this this and this, and do not mention "they attempted to kiss me", I assume, they did not attempt to kiss you. Why would I put words in your mouth if you did not say them? If someone attempted to kiss you, and you SAID you were uncomfortable, both IC, and LOOC, that seems like very, very much grounds for ahelping, and i'm sure multiple members of the staff team would back you up on this. So, the question rises again. Did you ahelp this? Marlon is also, not, going, "lalala you don't exist, I don't hear you". They are ignoring you. They are acting like you are not there. They are not responding to the things you say. Unless you have other screenshots showing where they have specifically said to you, "I am pretending you do not exist, stop speaking to me, knock it off", ICly, then they're just doing as you asked, and leaving you alone.

Did you ahelp, and say you were not comfortable? Or is "several players and 3 admins" given after the fact, when you brought it up to complain about it after not taking the measures to keep it from happening? Because if you're saying it makes you uncomfortable, and they're ignoring you, thats completely valid to ahelp. An admins opinion on something and the choice they make for an ahelp are not always going to be exactly the same. Just because an admin wouldnt care if they were pinned against the wall (which, does NOT have to be sexual) ICly, does not mean they are going to disregard it in an ahelp. If you ahelp. You're now complaining that Marlon ignored you. But, you said, for them to leave you alone. And you keep posting screenshots of them leaving you alone. They can either treat your character, the way they would treat your character, or, for your comfort, they can leave you alone. Do you want an admin to TELL Marlon to leave you alone, which, is what he is currently doing?

Haydizzle brought this to me for peer review, so I feel obligated to vouch for him. He's a good roleplayer, and I think his whitelist app has a good amount of detail, and proof of understanding the world in the Wasteland. There are a few wording issues, but thats more a problem of articulation, as noted above, rather than misunderstanding the world. +1. I think Haydizzle could do good by Unathi lore.

Lets go down that list of justifications. I assume some of these are justifications for IC actions and OOC actions. - Don't play a female unathi if you don't want to be treated like one. (IC) There are some choices in the viewpoint of Unathi that let you retort with this. Ouerea. Wastelanders. The Queendom. Women from these places, don't have to be treated as an object. But you're still going to get remarks from traditionalist men, because it is in their society that your job for your character, is not meant for you. If you cannot deal with the "IC ramifications" of being a female Unathi in a "male" position, then play a man. - It's part of Unathi culture. (IC) You're entire right. It is. I'm not going to make a bullshit character because you don't want me to play a traditionalist that acts like one. - Seperate the IC from the OOC. (Bit of both.) Here, does require context. If someone makes an uncomfortable remark to you in LOOC, that is not an IC action. Thats, just Local, OOC. And if they persist, it can keep up into harassment. However, you cannot tell them to stop, they stop, and then complain when nothing is done to them. - You shouldn't be uncomfortable OOCly when someone does something uncomfortable to your character ICly. (Bit of both.) I agree, to an extent. For someone like me, the bar is different between what makes me uncomfortable and what makes my character uncomfortable, but I am not universal. If you are genuinely uncomfortable, say so. Leave the situation. Ahelp. - The behavior has good intentions therefore that is all that should matter. (OOC) Whether or not the behavior has good intentions comes into bad faith. If you ahelp someone for being creepy, and they DM you with the same creepy shit, theres that. But if you ahelp, or ask them to stop, and they do not bother you anymore, THIS is what matters. Someone is much less likely to be punished if they do something without meaning to, as far as ive seen. Mistakes happen, people make each other uncomfortable without meaning to. There are tons of people who take something as HEINOUS as "lemme rub that lizard tummy" as a joke. People are not mind readers. - It's not creepy, it's endearing. (OOC) An admin did not tell you it was okay to harrass you because it was cute. An admin gave you his opinion on what was said. And the admin in question couldn't do anything about it, because you lied and said you ahelped it when you did not. and further, it was not harassment in any way. If something makes you uncomfortable, and you say that it makes you uncomfortable, and they stop doing it, I don't know why you would be so hard pressed to get them in further trouble, even though they did as you asked and left you alone.

This may come off as a strange complaint, but dying takes, too long. There is a time period where, as a merc, after being shot with lasers that subsequently hit a welding tank, I was trapped in a vented area. It took, an unholy amount of time to die from the oxygen loss. I feel like I owe it to the game to stick around, in case SOMETHING happens, but if nothing does, its just wake up from pain, take a single step, fall back down, and repeat for 20 minutes. Suffocation, and blood loss, things that knock you unconscious for a very long time but very quickly, are not likely to ever be enjoyable. But it seems like the pain for it sets in VERY fast. Which, in a way, makes sense. But, once I was in an elevator that was vented for half a split second, and I went into paincrit.

Almost the entirety of a Head Revs credits for their own Armory seems completely fair to me. +1.

Mech items are already in the Traitor kit buyables (unless the Jury Rigged Laser was removed, which considering the mech update it might have), so I think something like this would be balanced. Especially if Security tries to meme your mech with their own mech, you can shut that shit down. I don't know how balanced removing one hand in exchange for less damage (IE: What is the obvious idea for a Shield) would be when you already have another hand and shoulder slots for weapons, and at that some powerful weapons. Maybe make it so you can raise it in exchange for being slowed down and also being unable to use offensive tools.

I really don't think Cadets should be removed. Maybe just keep the same number, 2, to the Security department. I may VERY well have missed how many officers are where (there are a lot of comments here), but it is 1 per Department, + a HoS and a Warden for Security? That sounds fine to have two Cadets in. Maybe just also give them the freedom to shadow any officers, not just a General Security officer.

50 TC just seems like a bit much, to me. How much does the Armory dropper cost? It should be quite a bit, considering some of the firepower in it. I guess if 100 TC for two Head-Revs is also for the entire Revolution. I also have an idea of, maybe make the Orbital Dropper a gun on its own, but the ammo it takes are types of maybe cards? Chips that you insert and lock down something to send. Miners get a drill chip when they buy the dropper, but an antag Rev can buy "Armory" and "Mech" chips from their own buy thing. Itd also allow (maybe) an easier way to add more antag droppers later, if someone wants to. Also, an "Aggression Implant" might give a tiny dose of Red Nightshade? A drug that literally makes your screen tinted red and makes you absolutely batshit furious. Maybe an "Aggression+ Implant", where both of them give you periodic messages about being fuming, but the + Version gives you an extra boost for a little while. Its also entirely possible this is a terrible idea, and just whats in the changes for now is fine.

More titles sounds nice. Give people more freedom to be exactly what they want. I like the name change, if only for the reason Trauma Physician sounds cool.

You already suffer a downside by going shoeless, but either way, I don't really think a change like this is even really a big deal. I somehow doubt the next big tactic is going to be taking off your shoes to sneak past Security, only to be foiled because someone harm-intent threw a bottle at you. But, something like shoe cuffs, which is designed to slow you down as a punishment, still exists. Taking your shoes off takes its own downside. It would probably be a very easy change to make.

Quweshi's parents urged him to take something preferable compared to other, similar systems of machinery. The bridge between an AI controlled mech, which at that point is simply a large IPC and an exosuit is one is controlled by an artificial intelligence, and one is controlled by a pilot. Obviously his parents very vocally preferred he take the first, which is why he specializes in mechatronics, compared to usual robotics (although, learning one often involves learning the other for related skills and reference.) His parents aren't exactly thrilled that Quweshi has reached out to Tau Ceti, considering recent events. They're worried for him, even if he assures them that he has nothing to fear. He has no beef with Jargon, and certainly no plans to speak very openly out about them. Why would he? Its a model nation. Sorry if I have worded it poorly how Quweshi's parents impacted and veered his learning. They encouraged his enthusiasm, but in a certain direction.

Quweshi is in his 70's, so he's akin to young adult for Skrell, and I may have worded it strangely, but at a young age it was alarming how close his interests could have come to an interest in AI, so his parents urged him to follow other methods of mechanically-assisted work. Tools controlled by a user to ease work, rather than tools controlled autonomously. He's only been in Tau Ceti i'll say a year or so. Its all fairly new to him, but he already had his schooling in Pluat, so it was not extensively difficult to find a job in Tau Ceti. Current events leave Quweshi a bit on edge, but he's sure the Federation will be able to sort things out. The key thought process is that, the Federation will sort things out, not that Tau Ceti will resolve its own issues. If the Skrell are getting involved, these problems won't last much longer. In his mind, starting a fight with the Federation is not only foolish on an objective level, but a moral one as well.

I actually just played a very recent round that went fantastic with two Ninjas. I think currently the two we have is very effective. Three seems like veering closer and closer to something that is only used as very powerful mercs, since they get their suit and everything in it, along with the telecrystals. Two ninjas seems plenty to interact with crew.

BYOND Key: FreshRefreshments Character Names: Zekuvazh Guwan, Trazur Zondzikar, Ridley Kingsfort. Species you are applying to play: Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Yellow Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: I have. 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: Complete whitelist dominance. Skrell recently have been getting a spotlight with the Warbling events, and I have been wanting to sit down and actually check Skrell lore out. As I read through lore, I get ideas on why I’d want to play a character, which is what happened here. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Skrell have difficulties showing emotion through Tau Ceti Basic, and by extension to many of the people in Tau Ceti, but they are very emotive when they can actually be understood. Skrell are psionic, but are seperated into groups of Receivers and Listeners, the latter of which are mistrusted. The Federation itself has a very strong hold over its people through social media usage, assisted by the fact that alone the Skrell are the most powerful military in the galaxy. Skrell have long lifespans, which can be even longer through genetic and medical treatments, the former of which is also very, very prevalent in Skrell society. Character Name: Quweshi Vuli’Versuri Please provide a short backstory for this character Born in the Pluat system before its diplomatic relations were reopened, Quweshi had an affinity for machinery, although while he was young his parents steered this towards controlled, manual machines due to worries about how easy this could spill over into Artificial Intelligence. Quweshi grew up approaching schooling for the epitome of controlled machinery- mechs, and exosuits. At first, Quweshi used his knowledge to help build exosuits that assisted with the manual labor in factories. But, as time went on, Quweshi was ambitious for something more, to advance his career through personal improvement. There was only so far he could go on Pluat, but something happened that opened a floodgate of choices- Pluat reopened diplomatic relations with the Federation. Quweshi only spent a bare minimum of time in the Nralakk system, before setting his sights elsewhere. Tau Ceti is a metaphorical melting pot of species, and after giving it thought, Quweshi realized that these other species have different ways of thinking- and furthermore, might have different ways of going about mechanical improvement. How would a Tajaran design a mech against the cold? An Unathi, a mech against Breacher troopers? With this idea leading him, Quweshi has come to Tau Ceti, and for the moment has landed a job where his experiences and toolset can be used. What do you like about this character? Quweshi is driven, he wants to learn (as I do) more about mechatronics. He’s excitable, although this would mostly manifest to other Skrell for obvious reasons. Being from mostly outside the Federation, he isn’t a lapdog, but he still has mostly faith that they know best. After all, how could the strongest federation in the galaxy be wrong? How would you rate your role-playing ability? 9/10. I am not perfect, but I like to think I do the RP nice and good. Small talk is where I kinda fuck up, I have a bit of trouble continuing on when there isnt anything more to say, but Skrell do open up with very probing questions, as they do. Notes: None of NOTE.

+1. You can clearly see Brainos is a mastermind of the server. Every single character he types out gives me euphoric glee and honestly, some form of carnal pleasure that cannot be given through a simpleminded freaks typings. Brainos once told me, "you're kinda Fresh, aren't you?" and this comment has struck with me. Every single dopamine receptor in my brain was overloaded. I knew a form of pure nirvana no one has ever seen. I met God, and he was like "Brainos was my greatest creation. I put every ounce of effort into making his brain as grooves as possible. Its like Ruffles chips on that bitch." I returned to my body, but only momentarily. I passed out at my keyboard. I had dreams, dreams of Brainos's sprites, dreams of Preston Prestoff being turned into a nugget and having his limbs replaced by monkey limbs, dreams of one day even being a decimal of a fraction of as powerful as Brainos is by simply BLINKING. Brainos flexed once, and every single nerve in my body detonated with the force of one million supernovas. If ERP were legal, Brainos would be the Kream King. We had to ban it to keep us safe from him, even though he is a kind and just leader. Abo and Garn bow to him. Skull takes his orders. He has assassinated every world leader thousands of times, but allows them to continue living because he is kind and just. The only creature on power is Resi, and that is simply because she knows his weaknesses. When I woke up, he told me. . . Hey, you? You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that imperial ambush. Same as us, and that thief over there! Highlight the empty space. . . . . . . .

I much preferred Psychologist before mechanics were ham fisted into it. I will not miss cloning. Psychiatrist doesnt need a constant inflow of work. Psych should stay a roleplay job, that people can reach out to. If anything, i'd be happy to remove Trauma altogether.
