Capt. Chloroform

Reporting Personnel: John Johnstone (John Nathan) Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Assistant (Acting Janitor on-shift) Game ID: ckK-anot Personnel Involved: John Johnstone (John Nathan) - Primary Victim Sigmund Goldberg - Investigator - Offender Quyo - Head of Security - Offender Secondary Witnesses: Sevastian Yevgeniy, Mahran Darrmiazu, Johnny Rays, Trovensky Heapatus (Officers), Hailey Wise (CMO) Real Time: 20:30 - 21:15 Central Time, 11/04/22 Location of Incident: Chapel, Brig, Medbay Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [X] - Neglect of Duty [X ] - Harassment [X ] - Assault [x] - Misconduct [x] - Other: Theft of ID Overview of the Incident: [This recording is made in Light's Edge Freespeak in order for the events to be more fluently described] I arrived on shift, ready to make desperately needed Credits. I requested the Captain grant me access to Maintenance in order to do the really dirty work of cleaning it. The Captain agreed and gave me the role of Janitor for the shift. Success. As I was getting ready I visited the Chapel to make my prayers. Investigator Goldberg was there, and told me he needed something from me. I asked him what and he said he is looking for someone. I asked what he meant and he asked I hand over my ID card. As he is Security, I did so. He then pulled out a pair of handcuffs and started to grab at me, and punched me in the chest! He said 'Sorry!', but kept trying to grab me. This arrest was illegal, attempted without warrant on Code Green and I was scared he would hurt me if there were no witnesses. I pushed him off, and he pulled his gun! I had no choice but to defend myself, so I disarmed him and took the firearm and fled so he couldn't use it on me. He pulled out another unidentified weapon and began chasing me down. He cornered me and I was forced to defend myself so I attempted to use the Disruptor (which was unlocked with the safety off) to try and stun him before he could seriously injure me. As the other officers arrived, he lied to them and told them that I jumped him, ambushed him and attacked him at full force. This is untrue. The other Officers put me in cuffs, and the only one to remotely question the Investigator was Johnny Rays saying something like "we are just going to believe everything he says?" after finding my ID in Investigator Goldbergs wallet. I was marched in cuffs to the brig, and was questioned by Officer Trovensky Heapatus who also speaks Freespeak. He helped translate for me, while Officers, including Goldberg, were mocking me for speaking Freespeak - saying I shouldn't have a job if I don't speak Ceti Basic, which I do, just not as fluently as they want. Officer Mahran Darrmiazu was repeatedly saying I was guilty, and that the team should not 'entertain' my side of the story. While I was explaining myself, Officer Sevastian Yevgeniy was pressing charges into the system against me based on, and I quote "the Investigator's word against yours". I told them that I was too poor to possibly afford a fine, and requested time in the Brig if I was going to be falsely charged, which Officer Yevgeni obliged. On my way out of the holding cell, Sigmund Goldberg swung at me and narrowly missed and once again said 'Sorry!' just like he did in the Chapel when he attacked me. His words were "Hands are haywire still." After this the Commanding Head of Security arrived, an IPC named Quyo. The IPC also said that it is the Investigators word against mine, and no cross-examination happened. I was told to serve my sentence. ""Your word is not equal to the investigator's. That is the truth." is what it said. The Investigator then went to Cryostasis and I was released. I told Officer Yevgeniy that this Brigging was a crime and he said "Of course, my friend!" mockingly. As I left the HoS said 'Vagrants' under its breath. This was all extremely humiliating, so I went to the only other available Head of Staff to report the Commander and his Officer's treatment of me. CMO Haily Wise listened and told me the Executive Officer had arrived and they came to speak with me. However, before I could explain myself fully - the HoS appeared and began to berate me. The Executive Officer said "You are an assistant. Quyo is a respected member of staff." once again implying that because of my low station I do not have a right to defend myself. Quyo said I was telling lies, called me a 'chattering bird' and said that it is designed to analyze and has concluded that itself is correct and that "I will disregard you as the Gumori does to the foul dung." which is terrible to say to a Janitor. I was dehumanized beyond anything I can describe. No voice, no justice, regarded as walking feces. I may be an Assistant, but this is the highest station I have held in life, and it means nothing to this Head of Staff. He disgraces his position as Commander by allowing crimes to be perpetrated upon those who views as inferior. CMO Hailey Wise kindly suggested that I write this incident report, and although many Officers are involved and interviewing them all may prove difficult; it is Sigmund Goldberg and by extension HoS Quyo who wilfully allowed this crime to be perpetrated against me. Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [ ] - Yes [X] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: CMO Hailey Wise Actions taken: This report. Additional Notes: N/A

Got it, thanks. I'll reply to this thread on Nov 12th

Alberyk, that's correct; but I feel like there was a miscommunication. I didn't mean to imply my account is new, or me visiting your server is new. By new I mean that although my account is years old my actual 'flight hours' playing SS13 is very low, as is my experience with the game and familiarity with the rules (which I am more familiar with now). Until this recent burst of activity I have played only a small number of rounds total over the years since this account was created. I am honestly dedicated to getting good at the game and properly following the rules. I don't know about other players but this game is extremely hard for me to get a grip on and I am not making the right decisions every time, so I'm sorry for doing that, but I am trying hard and would like the opportunity to keep playing and improving at antag roles. Hopefully you understand, thanks

BYOND Key: User-REDACTED Total Ban Length: Until lifted by Admin Banning staff member's Key: youjustgotowened Reason of Ban: Breaking rules regarding Antagonists and self-harm/suicide during a round. Reason for Appeal: After speaking with youjustgotowened about the incident in question I explained that I am rather new to SS13 and haven't quite gotten the hang of making the correct decisions every time. This has led me to doing stupid things such as venting the brig without a space suit and activating an Explosive implant without a believable lead-up to doing so. I truly did not intend to irritate anyone and am trying my best with his extremely complex game and getting the practice necessary to improve my antagging skills. I realize that the Medical/Security staff responded to these deaths and showed IC concern which I feel guilty for wasting their time/effort over my stupid actions. youjustgotowened had asked me to play several more shifts as non-antag and begin to establish IC HRP characters (which I have done and actually found I enjoy) and although I can't promise I will be a skillful antagonist, I can promise that I will make it a priority to establish proper and believable antagonist goals/reactions as expected of a HRP server. Discussing this with other members of the server, they have led me to their own personally written antagonist guides, which I have been grateful for. Lastly, this time being antag banned has shown me that simply playing a quiet role can be just as fun (and much less stressful) so I would like to be unbanned for the purpose of playing both HRP and IC Antagonist. Hopefully this apology suffices. Thanks

BYOND Key: userredacted Total Ban Length: Not stated Banning staff member's Key: faris1 Reason of Ban: Making a meme 'IC' greytide character called Graham Tidewater as an homage to greytide. I didn't agree with faris1 about this type of character being against server rules which resulted in a ban. It was foolish to attempt this, and more so to argue that it was legitimate, so I apologize for that knowing it does indeed lower the standard of RP for the server. Reason for Appeal: I really enjoyed playing on Aurora when I used to play SS13. Looking for forgiveness, hope to join you and RP in the spirit of the server, rather than lowering the bar with meme characters. Thanks for your consideration

I totally agree, and I also agree that the checkpoint should not be pointless border security, it wouldn't hurt to make it capable of BEING that for minievents and the like.

Ah maybe my reference is too dependent on people who've actually played Papers, Please! SS13 has really evolved to include many great games from our time in one reference or another. I think the 'Next!' would be in good taste

"Papers, please... What is your business on NSS Aurora? One moment." "Ah, my records show you're from the Empire of Dominia? Please submit to a random search." "NEXT!" Returning player here! First post here also. So as a Cadet of the illustrious NanoTrasen Risk Control & Security Department, it is my duty to further NT's decline into the bureaucratic, Orwellian nightmare we all know and love! A favourite pass-time of mine is to have a soft lock-down of the Arrivals/Departure Security Checkpoint and process the shift's newcomers in an 'orderly' fashion. Inconvenience is a Cadet's most potent (read: only) weapon against potential criminal scum and makes for pretty interactive RP! Scanning staff ID's and bringing up embarrassing details on their records such as being 'unemployed', yet-to-be expunged past crimes, misgendered ID's or a personal favourite… Staff unaware that their ID photos are nude. The whole 'I'll be watching you' schtick, blatantly giving preferential yet plausibly deniable treatment to Humans from the Sol Alliance, it's a lot of fun. It also works for when shit has hit the fan and Security needs to clear Staff before departing on the Shuttle during a Code Blue/Red! But there's a fine line between shitcurity and a creating a genuinely despotic atmosphere; because as I see it, past the bullshit NanoTrasen PR the staff are flesh-Borgs with paychecks instead of charging stations. Inspired massively by the game Papers, Please! I am suggesting that a button identical to the ringers you see at department reception desks be implemented, and when clicked on, broadcasts 'NEXT!' like the megaphone. Rather than have the squealing megaphone noise, replace the sound file with the one linked below (from Papers, Please!) Would love to see this implemented. Truthfully, some of the ambient sounds work too locally around the checkpoint area! Like the camera effect and having a measuring stick on the wall facing the checkpoint desk? Having the paperwork stamp for temporary work permits etc. It can evolve in many ways. Well, that's it from me. Let me know what you folks think!
