I'm gonna chime in here for a second and bring up the one thing that's standing out to me most about this: A lawed AI, without any law changes (As evidenced by what both of you have posted), killed a /traitor/ (Implying its a crewmember), and used 'following law 4' as the reason for it. You directly violated law 2 in the process of doing so, by causing lethal harm to a crewmember. Unless interpretation of the laws has changed again, this violates the currently standing 'If an action would violate laws, you cannot take that action, period' (Which is something I have been bwoinked for in the past. I've also been bwoinked for not saving someone who was suffocating because opening the door would have vented about 8 other people, but yeah).

Maybe I should just write up another PHP script to handle this stuff.. Should be relatively simple.

Let the thread die already.

Reporting Personnel: Samantha Black Rank of Reporting Personnel: Chief Medical Officer Game ID: beYkXf Personnel Involved: (Name, Rank: Offender/Witness/Other (Ckey)) - Ka'Akaix'Theth K'lax, Xenobotanist: Offender (LordRaven001) - Peaches, Xenobiologist: Offender (NWG1995) - Brianna Collins, Nurse: Witness (synnono) - Stephanie Moore, Biomechanical Engineer: Witness (Whiterabit) - Dylan Sutton, Head of Security: Witness (SirCatnip) Time of Incident: ~7 AM Real time: ~1400-1420 EST, October 25, 2016 Location of Incident: Medbay, Xenobotany, Common Channel Nature of Incident: [X]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, some time after I arrived, the xenobotanist vaurca Theth K'lax was detected on sensors with increasing toxins. It came to medbay and, during treatment, admitted that it had purposefully overdosed itself on drugs (Ambrosine in particular was mentioned). Upon finishing its treatment, it stated it was going back to the xenobotany lab to overdose again. I informed it that if it did this, I would have security detain it for drug abuse and wasting medical resources. It stated that would not stop it. Barely five minutes later, it was showing toxins on sensors again. An officer was also wounded in space due to space carp - I prioritized my only available responder, a law bound synth, to the recovery and treatment of Sanu'dra. Theth appeared to receive treatment in robotics. It was then dragged into medbay by an IPC named Peaches, whom demanded we treat the vaurca for a 'disease'. This supposed disease was the vaurca's apparent addiction to drugs. As my nurse, Collins, informed them both, medbay is not equipped to treat diseases, and we did not have a psychiatrist on board. As the vaurca had already been treated and showed no toxins, I told the IPC to take the vaurca to the brig to be processed for drug abuse. It refused, demanded we treat the 'disease', then proceeded to insult me in person and on radio by calling me a 'cunt', telling me to 'fuck off', and other unprofessional terms. The vaurca joined in on the insults on common. I did call for security to medbay to deal with these two, but nobody arrived despite being told by Sutton an officer was inbound, I suspect due to the higher priority issue noted below. Peaches dragged the vaurca out of medbay, and we didn't hear from either of them again. As a note, while monitoring sensors, I noticed the vaurca's toxin levels increasing again, just before he entered cryogenic storage. Nurse Collins was sent to treat the vaurca again before it went under. Did you report it to a Head of Department or IAA? If so, who?: Dylan Sutton, Head of Security (SirCatnip) Actions taken: - No actions taken against Theth as he went to cryogenic storage shortly after the incident. - Security became distracted with a higher priority issue (Antags happened) and couldn't deal with Peaches as a result. (OOC: Also, Peaches got spaced not long after, which naturally isn't canon) Additional notes: (If there are none simply leave it blank)

Only post if involved. If you are not a moderator or administrator and were not involved in the incident(s) referred to, you may not post or reply to a staff complaint regarding said incident(s). It is permissible, however, to provide testimony regarding a staff member's behavior backed by proof, in the form of screenshots or logs. Actually, the unban requests section is open for discussion from everyone. Here's the rules for this section: https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=5267

I like this idea, but want to ask something - How would we handle something like using the engineering department account to pay for an order? There's no ID tied to those.

My main thought would be to have a notification added to that window that pops up on connect when there's new notifications/announcements/unread changelog entries/etc if you have an unread PM in your inbox. I do know that forum accounts and byond ckeys are linked, thanks to web interface shennanigans, but I'm not sure if it's possible to detect unread forum PMs through whatever API is used for that link. This would help in knowing you have a forum PM waiting for you if you don't check the forums on a regular basis, and would help with the occasional 'Hey, if you see XYZ on, tell him to check the forums for a PM from CCIA' thing we have to send to modmins every now and then for incident reports and such.

I don't think Muncorn's still doing this.

Concerning the name changes, something has crossed my mind that might pose a bit of a headache. I have a 'character' that's actually just a character slot used for the entire production line of Sydney working-class synthetics (IPCs). These are mass-produced, assembly line, cookie-cutter synths designed to perform specific tasks exclusively for NanoTrasen (Under company contract). Each one has a specific name that denotes which general area/department they're developed for, followed by a randomized roman numeral to indicate which unit in that series the IPC is - I.e. Sydney Mu-XXIV would by the 24th unit in the Medical category. It's a bit of an overcomplicated thing just for a name perhaps, but it's just a little bit of extra work toward making an immersive synthetic character in my opinion; It is otherwise the same 'character' (Albeit they have no memory between shifts, because technically it's most likely different unit from the same line, and memory databanks are canonically wiped for these units every week). Would there be a way to incorporate a system for characters such as this? Perhaps 'whitelist' that particular character ID to allow namechanges without going through the loops? I don't know if I'm the only person who does this, or if anyone would ever make a character slot that does this kind of thing in the future, but it'd be something to consider.

The thing is, realistically speaking, the only difference between a cyborg, android, and robot is the 'processor' behind it. A cyborg runs off a brain, an android runs off a positronic brain, and a robot is just a sophisticated computer without a 'brain' of either kind. Outside of seeing the internal parts or any potential labels, you wouldn't actually know what type of synthetic you were looking at.

It's also useful for if, say, the APCs in the area are drained of power, or not charging and you don't want to drain the room of power.

IPCs don't have mouths.

Basically the title. With how slowly IPCs 'lose power', it wouldn't provide much different to balance/mechanics but would let IPC's 'eat' on the job instead of finding an APC.

There's also an issue of legal stuff, and tax stuff when you start charging money for a service. Couple that with the fact this would be international (Alot of users, and I suspect the people maintaining the account for this, are not U.S. citizens). I'm not going to get into details, but it's /really/ not worth it.

After reading over Loow's post, I think something that might help give people an idea of what your capabilities as a lore dev are would be to write up a pesudo-lore post about something to do with Tajara/Adhomai. Maybe a city, a specific important person, an event, something that you could or would add to canon Tajaran lore. There's also this you forgot to use as a reference point for your lore writing: https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=6779

Sooo yep. I've finally gotten around to actually getting this website fully setup in a way that's usable on the viewer's end. I currently have three sections setup - The 'front page' being for journals/updates/general whatever, as well as an art gallery where I'm posting up my colour work and anything else I work on art wise, and a writing section for character profiles, one-offs, writing projects, lore for my fictional worlds, etc. Link for those interested: https://sierrabrown.me/ There's also this character profile I put up this morning of one of my characters, Ziva Mo'Taki Ta'kim. Bit of an updated backstory, includes a portrait, and basic information in a table at the top. If anyone has any suggestions for improvement on the format of that post style, I'd be glad to hear it: https://sierrabrown.me/writing/ziva-motaki-takim-9

Reporting Personnel: Miraj Zi'Ad Rank of Reporting Personnel: Emergency Medical Technician Personnel Involved: (Name, Rank: Offender/Witness/Other (Ckey)) - Keagan Highlands, Journalist: Offender (Skeletonkrew197) - Alice Knapp, Security Officer: Offender (ShameOnTurtles) - Adam Evans, Chief Medical Officer: Witness (K0NFL1QT) - Kelly Evans, Head of Security: Incident reported to (LordPwner) - Epsilon, Cyborg: Witness (XenosTiger) - R.E.M., AI: Witness (Shadow7889) Time of Incident: 9:00 AM Real time: 12:15 PM EST October 4th Location of Incident: Central Primary Hallway, maintenance door between custodial and medbay Nature of Incident: [X]Workplace Hazard [X]Accident/Injury []Destruction of Property [X]Neglect of Duty []Harassment []Assault []Misconduct []Other _____ (Place an x in the box that applies. If other, replace line and specify.) Overview of the Incident: There was a level 7 biohazard that hit mantenance between engineering and medbay. Miraj geared up in a void suit with inflatables and a bed and went with Epsilon to stand by near the area to treat any wounded. A long officer entered the tunnel with them, Alice Knapp, and fought the blob with a flashbang and lasers. When the laser ran out, Alice rushed the blob with a baton, alone. In the process broke several bones, punctured her suit, had internal bleeding, and other severe injuries. Miraj had to rush into the blob that was already surrounding Alice and pull her out, putting Herself at risk, and rush to get her to medbay, pushing past engineers and security officers that were just then starting to enter the tunnel. Adam Evans took over treatment of Alice once she was brought into medbay. Alice's void suit was also punctured during this. She does not know if it was repairable. Attached is a print out of the medical scan of Alice's full injuries. Later during the shift, while the tunnel was still breached and being repaired, Miraj came across Keagan trapped between bolted doors and a half-closed inflatable barrier that was just barely protecting him from a maintenance door that was open and leading into the breached tunnel. As Miraj approached and was about to close the barrier and begin making a path to get him out, he opened up his end of the barrier and got sucked into the maintenance tunnel. Miraj had to quickly close the opening She had just made to avoid being sucked in Herself, then rush back to get a void suit and get him out. He survived with heavy suffocation damage, but no critical injuries. Kelly Evans was informed of the incident, but Miraj does not know if it was actually handled. Miraj also wants to note that Keagan called Her a cat when overhearing Her telling Kelly Evans about him. Both of these incidents show a completel lack of regard for safety, or just not knowing proper safety procedures in general. Did you report it to a Head of Department or IAA? If so, who?: Kelly Evans, Head of Security (LordPwner) Actions taken: (Description of efforts made by the reporter, security, HoDs, and/or Internal affairs to resolve this incident and what you know from others following the chain of command to find a solution to this issue.)
