I very, very much don't like this if it's going to be everybody who voted that's locked in. Sometimes in the mornings or at night, I just don't feel like dealing with antags, so I vote for extended. I am willing to participate in the game, if it's during a specific gamemode. This is doing way too much, rather than the initial intention of stopping meme voters. A -1 from me, in its current form.

Yeah- I'm not really angry at that, happened in the heat of the moment, I get it. Was just recalling how the round went for me

BYOND Key: Tomkiel Game ID: b07-djWB Player Byond Key/Character name: Voidcrawler (name dropped as the biggest offender), Radstorm, Blondie, Jason Melson. (I am not a 100% if EVERYONE was the offender here, but these are all the mercs, the ERT mercs could've also been a part of it? But I haven't heard many complaints about that directed at them) Staff involved: None, some people in deadchat essentially came to the conclusion that to make a report on the players. (Although Read told us that we should've ahelped this earlier which- yeah, we probably should've) Reason for complaint: Validhunting, essentially deathmatching Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? As said above, shuttle was basically at the station so I didn't want to draw the round end out with an ahelp Approximate Date/Time: 14.01.2021-15.01.2021 - Around Midnight GMT +1 So, to start off with, I did not witness a large part of what happened, this report was a collective decision from a few people in Deadchat, after piecing together the situation. For more info, @DanseMacabre, Spider4062, @Scheveningen, and possibly some more people whose names I didn't catch, should be contacted. I started the round as my cadet on their first day at the job, yay! After a while, a hostage situation call came in. An officer died in a normal situation, no biggie so far. After a while, security retreated to command, where my cadet was shot dead. (My gun was on the floor, and I was surrendering, but it all happened in the fray of the action so eh, whatever). After I ghosted, the ERT that was called in, came in, and actually joined with the mercs, annoying but not rule-breaking. And after that, it seemed almost that the mercs went on a power trip, gunning down everyone, including the HoS, that they had hostage, unarmed, and just standing there, as well as apparently gunning down civilians, and through all of that, they seemed to pretty much ignore their whole objective (Which was never really relayed as anything other than a single word of "finances"). During all of that in deadchat, I heard from different (mostly security players) that they were fired upon without a warning, prior to the escalation of hostilities.

I RP'd quite a bit with Erica, and I can safely say, that their rp and engineering skills are very good, and in my opinion they would make a great CE. It's a +1 from me

I've met a lot of good people here, a lot of friends. And I hope good people continue coming into the community. Hopefully we all have a better year.

Yes please. We need the cute.

BYOND Key: Tomkiel Character Names: Jose Dean - Engineer Ostroverkhov Urvan - EMT Andres Belbase - Captain Koskek Sauh - CE Species you are applying to play: Vaurca What color do you plan on making your first alien character: RGB 150, 180, 255 Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayup 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: The Vaurcae, are probably one of the most alien, of the alien species (rip Vox), with their social structure and culture being something incredibely unique that can't really be found anywhere else. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Well, to start off with, Vaurca don't exactly work for themselves, they work for the hive. The work they do do for themselves, is simply so they can sustain themselves and do more work for their hive. Vaurca are split into three (Or four if you count the stinkees >:T) hives, along with different broods, each with a different relation to other hives, personality and flavour, in general Character Name: Za'Akaix'Ghur C'thur Please provide a short backstory for this character: Ghur, born to The Recondite Queen, spent the first year of their life, in VR, learning Skrell, as well as Vaurcae research techniques, and any other bits of information, they might need. After being taken out of VR, they spent around a half a year, assisting at a Skrell orbital research facility, during that time, they had grew quite a liking to Skrell, or- federation Skrell, to be precise. After that, they ended up being chosen as one of the workers, to be sent off to Tau Ceti, after NT requisitioning a C'thur workforce to help out with the recent Phoron crisis. They begrugingly went (not like they had much of a choice) they are now in an unfamiliar place, mistrustful of everyone but Skrell and their own hive. What do you like about this character? Ghur is a Vaurca in a very new enviroment to him, surrounded by a lot of things he would find strange, and he'll have to find where he will stand, in this far away land How would you rate your role-playing ability? I'd say around a 7.5/10 Notes: INHALE IT IZZZZ ILLEGAL TO REVVUZZE A VAURCA VVHORON IF VHEY NEED IT TO PREVENT SUVVOCATION, DO NOT REVVUZZZE A VAURCA VVVHORON IVVV YOU ARE A CHEMIZZZZT

Hey there! I play the captain Andres Belbase, and it's honestly always nice to see April on shift. They seem very much competent at what they do, and their roleplay ability is impecable. +1 from me

Xiao seems to know what they're doing, and the rp from them is always enjoyable, a +1 from me. And to add to the situation with the robotocist, I was the captain, the robotocist went to fight spiders, I got security to charge them for this, and told Xiao to have a talk with him, as my captain is a firm believer in second chances. After that, I was going to have security investigate a report about them trying to sell company property, and if it turned out to be true, most likely suspend them, but alas, they cryo'd. I didn't see any fault of medtech, in that, and they handled the situation as well as they could.

Seems to be really competent, while playing their HoP, I didn't have any one on one RP with them, but I have no doubts about that. Easy +1 from me

They show a lot of knowledge on Vaurca, and are able to facilitate a lot of good RP, it's a +1 from me!

BYOND key: Tomkiel Character names: Jose Dean, Ostroverkhov Urvan, those are the main ones, but I got some other ones that I never really play. How long have you been playing on Aurora?: I've been playing on and off since around late 2018-ish, if my memory serves me correct, and then pretty consistently from late 2019, to now Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I've been given interim status, a few times, now, and I gotta say- it was fun. Other than it simply being fun, I'd like to be able to coordinate and organize, as I'm often available during lower pop rounds, where command isn't plentiful. And I want to finally use my Unathi whitelist which I've neglected. Why did you come to Aurora?: Aurora was the first server of SS13 that I was introduced to. I did try to branch out to other servers, but most of them just didn't scratch the rp itch, and usually were too chaotic, so I often enjoy the calmer moments on the Aurora. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Ayup Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? Worst was a 3 day ban for validhunting, some months ago, now, I believe. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: Roleplay, is in all essentiality, having fun pretending to be a different person or a bug, in an alien, and exciting universe. Do you like being a rat scurrying around the station and stealing food or a bartender doing bar rp for three hours? Having fun at it? Go right ahead. As long as you keep withing the rules, that is. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: A head of staff is there to 1. Organize the crew, to be able to effectively deal with issues, and help drive a story that the antags migt come up with 2. Provide new rp possibilities, that would often not be possible without a head of staff. (Expeditions, banquets, a raffle, etc.) and 3. Be there, to teach new players What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: A whitelisted player, is supposed to, in my opinion, have a high degree of competenecy in the departaments they play, as well as rp in general, and the current overall lore, all to be able to take part and encourage in new roleplay options for the rest of the players onboard. And, as to how I'd strive to uphold that, well, I'd try to maintain a high standard of roleplay, as well as keep up to date with the current lore (which isn't hard, as it's interesting already :>) Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career? Currently, there is an ongoing Phoron shortage, that might quite likely, develop into a crisis. More locally, the Aurora seems to have been once again, the hotspot for everything bad happening, with Tajarans with guns, coming in the struggle of the suns against the moon, and more recently, the Dionae have also been up to. . . stuff. Jose has been affected quite a bit, by the recent events, losing a lot of friends to them. Him, as well as my new CE character, will have pressure put on them, to try and minimise the use of Phoron in engineering, switching more to the Tesla, and using more non-Phoron based set-ups. And my captain, will most likely be pressured to make sure the mining departament gets everything they need, as well as ensure their safety. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? I'll definetly be playing a CE character, as that is the departament I feel the most comfortable in, and have the most knowledge in. Other than that, I'll dabble with playing captain. And maaaybe a Counselor or Liason? But- that's in the future, I'd have to do some more research before I jump into one of those. Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.: Koskek Sauh - CE Andreas Belbase - Captain How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I'd say it's a 6 to 7/10 Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes Have you familiarize yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yes Extra notes: N/A

Yes, yes I have. I've not been one for some time now, as my current characters aren't really good for antags, but unless something changed over a few months, I really don't get what problem people have with recruiting. I get that some rounds the people playing may just. . .not be for it, but from what I've observed, it's usually the players doing a crappy gimmick.

. . .you're wondering why people aren't joining? "Yes, I wonder why people aren't willing to join my "perfectly good" 500 year old ideology, which has killed millions, and is extremely outdated. . .yes." People have no reason to join revs just because "rIsE uP" people often enough, don't challenge the status quo. What you need for people to join revs, is a reason. Pay cuts is the most common thing that people go with. If you just start spouting random communist/stalinist crap on the radio, people will think you're just some insane extremist. People don't randomly turn to violence.

So alright. Let me get this straight. First off, no I did not want to pay off the ransom with the captain's ID, I never said so. I only used it to get the station funds, and threw it.back into command after letting myself out. Second off, Jose was at a mental break point. He came back to the job before he probably should have, after losing a lot of friends. And- the assistant, that being Rosa Alice was another one of his friends (Who he already thought he lost once). After the event arc, he lost all faith in security, thinking that they were more of a hinderance and threat to the station, rather than its protectors, after he was beaten by them in the interrogation room, like a week ago, or so before the round in question. And yes "Keep your character's goals in mind" A character's goal, is not just doing their job. Jose's goal- at that point, was to keep his friend safe. He believed that command would relegate that job to security, who would not be able to accomplish that job without Rosa dying. Did it ruin the gimmick? No, I don't think so. The kidnapping turned out to be a "NT simulation" done by a borg, which made for some very interesting RP after the fact.

Oh psh, I'm writing this really late, so sorry for any mistakes I might've made

This is really a problem. People with disabilities often aren't considered (Or, due to the size of this community, never; which of course, is understandable) but that really doesn't mean that those people shouldn't be excluded out of a large part of the game due to the disability, if it is able to be overcome (Mesons, in this case) obviously this wasn't meant to have this effect. As I said, probably wasn't thought through. But (and again, thanks to the size of this community) change is possible. So I would be all for a mesons rework, and even if not that; it being too much work for appeasing just one person, then simply keeping it in the game files, and as Estoy suggested granting their characters mesons, which I'm sure they'd be more than happy to do, even if it meant closer oversight by the admins or even as they said removing their ability to antag.

If other, replace line and specify.) Overview of the Incident: Earlier in the shift of the third, Antonio Romano suffered injuries from a scrubber discharge, which left him with amnesia, forgetting everyone he knew, and from what it looked like, leaving him in a confused, daze-like state. The doctors, who treated him, released him, despite the clear indications of mental trauma, stating that they did not have any psychiatrists onboard, (which is quite a flimsy reason in my opinion, but that is besides the point). Mr. Romano was either released on his own, or into the care of his "friend". Eitherway, Mr. Thompson decided to "take care" of Mr. Romano. He stated over radio that he would make Mr. Romano "better than he was before", which, quite reasonabely, looking now. Concerned me and my partner, Mr. Thomson. We went to Cargo, to check in on Mr. Romano, and ensure that Buck Thompson was doing nothing malicious. To our horror, Mr. Thompson and Johan Wurst were trying to "rewire" mr. Romano, by demonizing his other friends, trying to establish himself as his "best friend" calling one of his friends an "Evil succubus" that wanted to take Mr. Romano away from them. This already was blatantly abusing Mr. Romano's condition. Yet security did not charge, or detain Mr. Thompson with anything, or do anything at all, really. After a bit of arguing, Mr. Romano was clearly stressed by the whole situation, and went up the cargo elevator, to the surface. At the cargo bay surface, after I hacked the door open (Upon a security officer's request), more arguing ensued, (Mr. Thompson blaming me and Mr. Thomson for stressing out Mr. Romano, despite himself shouting through the entire ordeal) Mr. Romano, then layed down on the floor, clearly due to the stress of the entire ordeal. Mr. Thomson then approached him, covering Mr. Romano with their coat, and as they did, Mr. Thompson tried to sic Mr. Romano's guard dog on Mr. Thomson, which could've easily lead to serious injury. After a while, Mr. Romano said that he's had enough, and that he needed to be alone. Mr. Thompson of course, was the first to chase after him. After that, I was the first to find Mr. Romano, and I decided to employ the help of Lena Hegarty, who was not previously involved in the whole ordeal, and was widely known to be a kind soul, so I thought she would be able to at least calm Mr. Romano down a bit. Though, unfortunately, after a while, Mr. Thompson also found out where Mr. Romano was, immediately running up to him, and screaming at him, once again. He then also shoved a bowl of spaghetti in Mr. Romano's face saying that it "would help", and he pretty much coerced Mr. Romano into eating a bowl of spaghetti by shouting at him. During that, I was trying to stop Mr. Thompson, and to give Romano some space. Despite my pleas, Officer Luukanen did not do anything, despite the call of the medical intern present at the scene, to give Mr. Romano space, instead saying that maybe the spaghetti will indeed help. At that point, emotion overtook me, and I slapped Buck Thompson, thinking this was all maybe some sick joke, and that a slap would break him out of it, but no. After that I went on a walk to cool off. After that, a second incident transpired, the day after. Mr. Buck Thompson, hit Mr. Romano with a shovel in an attempt to "fix" him. Miss Alice was present for this, as well as Annika Vorobye, who might've been an accomplice in Buck Thompson's "Plan". In short. Mr. Thompson is an abuser, that should not be anywhere close to Antonio Romano, and I am fairly certain that they may be holding them back from proffesional help, although that is just speculation at this point. Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: The Research Director did not respond to the situation despite Mr. Thomson's calls over the radio, instead leaving the matter to security during the first incident. During the second incident, a captain was present, but it happened right at the end of a very busy shift ((happened during an event round with a Phoron eating bug, Ninjas and a wizard.)) Actions taken: Buck Thompson was arrested and charged with assault after the second incident Additional Notes: Antonio Romano may not be mentally sound enough to testify, as even to a non-medical proffesional such as me, he is clearly mentally unwell. Taika Thomson and Buck Thompson are in no way related, and the surnames are simply a coincidence

Tbh, I feel like the engineering ones got the least love (though I suppose that's business as usual in engineering ;-;). And I doubt the borer one would ever be put in, but other than that? I feel like this is a good idea, but it needs some work

1. In his opinion, they're both wrong following oppressive ideals. NKA wanting to continue the opression of the lower classes while the PRA being a dictatorial slaughterhouse for anyone that opposes them. Although he does thinks that it's the leaders that misguided the masses that are to blame, and not the people themselves 2. He's still a young Tajara that is very much looking for adventure, just. . . something less bloody, this time. Hopefully 3. In his opinion, there shouldn't be any restrictions based on the race of Tajara you are. Every Tajara should be based on their merits, not what their ancestors did.

Oh, right. The Hharar

BYOND Key: Tomkiel Character Names: Species you are applying to play: Tajara What color do you plan on making your first alien character: Taupe Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yup 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: Right, WELL. Tajara, are imo one of the most interesting species, when it comes to their culture and history. They are a people that have been through two extremely bloody civil war, in the span of 40 years. Their culture, technology has rapidly changed and rapidly had to change with humans bringing in technologies which normally would be far away from the Tajara, as well as bringing in the spark, and the means for a civil war to be won by the "Progressives". So you essentially have this conflict between the old ways, and a new horizon to look forward to. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: I did state most of it in the point above. But besides what I already said, the Tajara are a people that have been ravaged by war. Pretty much every Tajara has felt it most likely in some significant way. Character Name: Ostroverkhov Urvan Please provide a short backstory for this character: Ostrov was born in 2440, during the interwar period in the city of Trizar, he was one of three other children. His childhood was quite peaceful, but then the fire nation attacked, until the war came to his city, when he was 14 years old. Due to his young age, he was not among the men fighting, but rather at the back lines, helping to tend to the wounded. He grew a liking to the "job" and, as many other young Tajara, he would follow the war, looking for adventure, and serving in the DPRA medical corps, taking wounded from the battlefield, dressing wounds, and often, being with soldiers in their last moments. And, as, once again, many other young Tajara, he learned the true face of war of modern war, the hard way, growing quite the disdain for it, in the end. He was amongst the lucky ones, coming out of the war with only a torn ear, and weakened hearing in his left ear. At the end of the war, he ended up helping out at an IAC facility, where he learned the basics of. . .basic, as well as more modern medical equipement. After the ceasefire was announced, he fully signed on with the IAC, being taken off planet with them, and (quite uneventfully) travelling the stars, for a bit over half a year, until finally ending up in Tau Ceti, and then signing onto the Aurora, as an EMT after deciding that the IAC was. . .too boring, to put it bluntly. He believes in the DPRA's cause, although he is staunchly against another war, and is more open minded to other, more diplomatic means, instead. He nominally believes in the worship of S'rand'marr, going by the philosophy of "There are no atheists on the battlefield" What do you like about this character? (Describe what you like about this character How would you rate your role-playing ability?) Ostrov is a young Tajara, that is still finding his way in the Ceti blend of cultures, finding a lot of things. . .quite strange, that he had not encountered in his stay in the IAC. He would at least try to get along cordially with members of the other factions from Adhomai, and he could probably get into conflict with some of the more. . . jingoist DPRA supporters. And I like to think that my roleplay ability is decent. Notes: I have made this app quite late, so I do apologise for any spelling mistakes and what not.

Heya, I was the jugg jugg that round. What happened from my perspective, was that you told me to "Get them" Which, well- a juggernaut has very little in the ways of. . . non-lethal take downs. I attempted to capture them alive anyways, going for the feet, or just dragging them. And after I knocked them down, you went ham on them, saying to "maim them". (Though I might be remembering some of the details wrong, since this was some time ago, and not a very memorable round for me, other than how bad it was)

Reporting Personnel: Jose Dean Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Station Engineer Game ID: b7E-c9Do (Round after the one with the incident) Personnel Involved: - Ryan Barett - offender - Larisa Hunter - Witness - Bartender, was present through the whole incident - Skazurah Kas - Witness - Was at the bar, being harassed by the offender Secondary Witnesses: - Todd Halas - Witness - The responding officer to the bar - Uptari Xiialt - Witness - Was also harassed by the offender Time of Incident: Real Time: ~21:40 GMT+1 14/06/2020 Location of Incident: Bar Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [ ] - Neglect of Duty [x] - Harassment [x] - Assault [x] - Misconduct [x ] - Other: Threats of violence Overview of the Incident: Around the end of the shift. I entered the bar. I saw Ryan Barett Harassing various crew members, verbally, as well as physically to an extent (Pats on the back with a lot of strength put into them). After some time he threatened violence on Uptari Xiialt who seemingly out of fear, jumped behind the bar counter and called security. Barett then continued to threaten violence upon her. Todd Halas responded, attempting to calm Barett down. At that point, I wanted to leave the bar to head to departures, as the crew transfer shuttle was called, but I accidentally bumped into Mr. Barett, spilling the coffee on him. He immediately attempted to punch me (Although missing while doing so) and then proceeded to throw various things at me, even though I apologised. He then threatened violence upon my partner, later saying "It was not a threat, but a promise" Submitted Evidence: N/A Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: At the end of the overview, the shuttle had docked at the station, thus there was no time to inform anyone in command Actions taken: Security was called. Additional Notes:
