I'd suggest a slight amendment to this: Put the vending machine in the 'public' section of the warden's office (The left side on the current map, that doesn't have an access restricted airlock). Security lacks a food vending machine as it is, and this can be used for the warden or officers to provide food/drink to prisoners for some additional RP.

Now that I know what round this was, I was also involved as one of the Tajaran in research, Miraj Zi'Ad. I was also one of the characters speaking in siik'maas on radio. When someone told us to speak basic, Miraj said she's trying to communicate people to safety without the 'murderers' hearing them. This was valid, to me, on the science channel because the murderer Miraj had witnessed was a scientist, with access to a science radio. They were at that moment trying to identify if everyone was still alright, and where they were, then coordinate to move to the outpost with one of the other scientists to hide. Karima Mo'Taki was also there, and communicating in siik'maas, although she didn't say anywhere near as much as Miraj, Safiya, and Rasul did. I find it odd that I was left out of this complaint, considering my involvement in doing basically exactly what's being complained about. The round also did have a /lot/ of racism and usage of non basic by others on the common channel, which Miraj ignored (And I had pretty much completely filtered out green-text at that point). If it wasn't for the situation of murderers running around, and people being in danger

Alright, since people are making comments/complaints that they think the only people voting to revoke heads of staff access are non Tajaran players... I voted for option 3, to completely strip heads of staff from Tajaran. Here's a list of my characters, including those I no longer play for reference. Note the number of Tajaran, highlighted in bold: Ariana Eshlian (Human) Azaela Nejem (Tajaran) Haifa Ajam (Tajaran) Katana Alpha/Charlie/Delta/Silvers (IPC) Kylan Hadyara/Lo'Rah (Tajaran) Miraj Zi'Ad (Tajaran) Rasine Ha'kim (Tajaran) Sairis Helosi (Human) Saite Kesra (Unathi) Sarah Wolfe (Human) Seruati Uaekis (Unathi) Tali Mi'Hil (Tajaran) Ziva Mo'Taki (Tajaran) So with that out of the way, why did I vote for the option to remove Tajaran characters from head of staff roles, despite the fact I play Tajaran - And even have two Tajaran characters that are heads of staff (Kylan is a HoS, Azaela is a HoP)? Because it makes the most sense to me based on the lore. My original Tajaran characters were built around the idea that Tajaran were discriminated against, and had to work harder to get to where they are. With the current common attitudes with Tajaran characters, from both sides, despite my best efforts to play each of my characters in a certain way to fit their personalities and the discriminated nature... It just doesn't exist. They're supposed to be lower class compared to humans and skrell, the ones taking and following the orders, not the ones giving these orders. They're supposed to be the targets of discrimination - And I don't mean the all-caps/annoying radio crap you see from everyone everyround where they shout catbeast, glass adhomai, and spout of racist jokes. I mean actual discrimination that you'd see in a corporate setting or workplace. Denying advancement of positions, lower pay grades, first to be looked at in a security situation, less effort put toward helping them over other crew, etc, and with maybe a snide comment here or there that only the Tajara heard or some coworkers that share the same sentiment heard. I built my Tajaran characters around that concept of a lifetime of discrimination (With the exception of Azaela, but she exists for a specific purpose that I won't get into here and can be replaced by a non-Tajaran character). I expected the server to reflect this; The lore certainly said plenty about the Tajaran status in the galaxy when I studied it for my first whitelist application, but the community and the game just don't reflect this properly. A head of staff ban for Tajaran, or at the very least, a restriction requiring a separate whitelist (I can understand a few relatively uncommon/rare individuals making their way up, probably Njarir origins) is a step toward ensuring the lore is actually applicable to what happens in round. So there, you've now heard the vote and reasonings for that vote from a Tajaran player that voted to remove Tajarans from heads of staff.

I'll be (attempting) to code this once there's sprites For the standard, do you mean like the NT flags in the chapel? Or something else?

The problem with that is the job restrictions just nixxed a majority of the longer-term Tajaran characters that have been around for awhile and aren't necessarily the problem.

Does this.. Does this mean we get Dicklizard back?

Rasine was in the bar, waiting to order a drink when Officer Ironmonger primed a threw a flashbang, blinding and deafening Rasine, Phillip, and Courtney. In retaliation, when she could see again, Rasine responded by trying to knock down Ironmonger and call security. He responded by firing several taser rounds into her, where she reportedly lost conciousness, and woke up again handcuffed and arrested by the officer. Officer Lyar then arrived, questioning the witnesses. Woods identified Ironmonger as the one who threw the flashbang. During this, Rasine was pepper-sprayed by the officer, reportedly blinding her until medical personnel could clean out her eyes. Ironmonger was reportedly arrested and demoted by the head of personnel. Did you report it to a Head of Staff or IAA? If so, who?: Head of Personnel Elena Raschnikova Additional notes: ((OOC: Watson might not show up again; I think they were a random-rolled name/character, due to being a bald female))

I wish more people treated my Tajaran like this. I developed several characters on the basis of them having to work harder/deal with discrimination. And then it almost never exists except a select few people that get immediately shot down. :<

Got the sprite file. Code's ready for if this gets approved. It layers nicely with the medHUD, too [attachment=0]esarhgers.PNG[/attachment]

BYOND Key: SierraKomodo Character name: Katana Alpha Item name: N/A (It's a holopad sprite) Why is your character carrying said item to work? This is the holographic form of Katana's IPC chassis, and it would make sense for the hologram to match other appearances of Katana for familiarity's sake with the crew. Item function(s): Holopad sprite Item description: N/A Item appearance: http://bts.sierrabrown.me/katana-holo-sprite/katana_holosprite.dmi Additional comments: Code and sprite work are both done, just needs to be approved before I put in a pull request. Note for the coders: This involved a bit of hack-work in the mod/silicon/ai/ai.dm file (Skull worked with me on this one). I apparently can't upload .dm/.dmi files to the forum post.

Can you toss me the .dmi file(s) for the sprite?

It might just be that my expectations of this server are too high at this point, but it's because I come to this server to RP. I'm on a heavy RP server for what's advertised on the tin. When a manifested ghost cultist runs into R&D and immediately cuts off the head of myself and everyone around me without a single word, and without my even knowing there were cultists/a threat on board (And this has happened before, and was a situation I sent an ahelp about), that's something I'd expect on a server like Paradise.
