Main reason why I don't think this is a good idea. For example, we had to add a rule because of a pr that allowed people to rename and change their custom loadout items. Any feature that requires some kind of extra moderation policing is not ideal. If anything, lore elements should have a proper representation. But it is a bit too early to make bold moves like adding species only factions when the nbt is not out yet.

Liberation Army Research Division Reports Setback in the Nuclear Program The Liberation Army development department has delivered a worrying report on the situation of the nuclear program to the National Assembly today. Progress has halted in the past two months due to extensive equipment damage. Computers and the centrifuges used in uranium enrichment are breaking down at an alarming rate. The nuclear program has already spent most of its budget on repairs and replacement parts; at least one-third of the installations are currently inoperative. Liberation Army command suspect that this might be deliberate sabotage. To continue with the research, the development department asked for extra funds from the National Assembly. Ex-interim President Brajrr Alnadruskiy, speaking on behalf of the Free Tajaran People's Party, denounced the Hadiist state as the likely perpetrator of this attack; he urged the National Assembly to divert extra funds to the nuclear program. The Adhomian Blue Party urged Supreme Commander Nated to permanently close all installations, citing a possible meltdown risk. Commander Hotak suggested deploying his agents to investigate the personnel to identify any possible saboteurs. The National Adhomai Worker's Party agreed with offering more funds, however, they requested that technicians from the Shastar Technical University be brought to help identify the source of the problem. Rrhaza-Akhran Rahman Hadjuk blamed Hadiist spies in a long speech; he did not contribute any further to the discussion. Commander Muharajuurl Muhr'Fal supported the National Adhomai Worker's Party's plan. Ahem Kah'nrir went on a long tirade on how the alien powers were behind the breakdown; he claimed that they were using microwave rays deployed from satellites on Adhomai's orbit to damage the nuclear plants. After consulting with Supreme Commander Nated, President Almrah Harrlala proposed a solution to tackle the issue: besides offering extra funds, a commission of technicians involved in the Digitial Telecommunications Project and military researchers will be formed to localize the source of the malfunctions. The proposal also includes deploying the Adhomai Joint Intelligence Committee to investigate any possible foreign connection to the incidents; Supreme Commander Nated decided against using Hotak's Commandos because of the current civilian involvement. This proposal was quickly accepted by the National Assembly.

We are currently considering another faction for cargo. If anything is decided we will post it here.

Yes.

After thinking a bit. I decided to deny this appeal. I do not trust you as a person. I do not think you belong in this community. Not even here or my dms when I told you about the ban you ever said you were sorry for what you did. You did not even point what server rule you broke. You thought you could just use the trust we gave to you to just share notes and trashtalk staff behind their back with your clique; you did this in the first day of your trial. I am fairly sure this was your intention from the very start. I am never going to unban you. Appeal denied.

Yes.

Application accepted.

The backstory is interesting and has a great spin on the born off-world Tajara archetype. Some small questions so I can have a better grasp on the character's motivations and ideas. How does Fyodorov sees the DPRA and the NKA? Why exactly did he go to Adhomai as a volunteer? What were his motivations to do that?

No. If a company is in a certain department, its members can pick any job from that department.

Before I can consider this appeal, can you explain what you did wrong and what rules you broke?

That can be solved by putting more explanations in game. You can also get the basic rundown of any corporation by going to select which one you want in the character creation setup.

The lore team is working on lore updates to help justify this change. We will also have an in-character development to help people transfer their characters to the megacorporations.

Undetermined for now. We do not plan to lift species restrictions.

Okay. I will lift the server ban. Stop ban evading in the discord.

The idependant will likely stay as it is. Uniform regulations will be changed to accommodate this change. Zeng hu has nothing to do with hydroponics as far I can see on its wiki page. Adding a new megacorp or faction is possible for service and cargo. However, we are not separating it by jobs, it will be by entire departments. Please read the first post.

Probably not.

We will discuss this later. But we are also not going to change command restrictions. Changed the main text to make this more clear by the way.

As most of you might know, the NBT will be a ship owned by the scc, a union of most megacorporations in the setting. To better represent this and each megacorporation's themes, we have decided to change how departments are handled based on the faction/employer system we have currently in-game. In the NBT, every department will be handled by a group of megacorps instead of just having contractors and the main corporation. We will no longer have a base megacorporation that will be in all departments like we have atm with NanoTrasen. After talking with the staff, we decided on this: Every megacorporation here will have access to all jobs that a department has. The only exception will be command roles that will be all under their own employer, the SCC itself. This division was made so that no species will be restricted from playing any department. We do not plan to lift any megacorporation species restriction. The lore team is working on lore updates to help justify this change. We will also have an in-character development to help people transfer their characters to the megacorporations. Things that will be handled by the lore team to help people keep their characters in their jobs and departments: - Zavodskoi will get a new engineering subsidiary. - EPMCs will get a medical-related "subsidiary". - Species relations with the megacorporations will be revised and expanded to allow for more backgrounds. - In character news and events to help this transition and have people change the megacorporations without having to retcon things about their characters. Contractor uniform regulations will also be changed. Feel free to post your feedback, thoughts, and suggestions. This is subjective to change. Also, take into consideration that some jobs will be added and moved around. For example, robotics will likely be moved from science.

This week's teaser Updated kitchen: Chapel: Medical Lobby:

It has been more than a year and there is nothing else in your notes, so I will lift this. Appeal accepted.

Okay, so the big issue was all the discord ban evading, which was too much even if you just wanted to talk with people. I can lift the server ban, if you behave in game and don't ban evade anymore I can lift the discord ban after one month in a separated appeal. Are you fine with this?

Investigation Reveals Strike Ties with Terrorist Organization 21.08.2463 A parliament emergency meeting was called today to discuss the full dossier of the Kaltir Bunker Strike. After the Royal Peacekeepers had fully investigated the construction site and the perpetrators, they found evidence linking the strike to an unknown organization. Flyers and phone calls led the law agents to the region around Olska. Through a series of raids and arrests, the Royal Peacekeepers finally identified the group and its purpose: the Adhomian Democratic Front, a terrorist organization plotting to overthrow the Crown. Confiscated documents indicate that the criminals are supposedly trying to create a true democracy in Adhomai by abolishing the monarchy and the titles of nobility. Law agencies believe that the Front was established shortly after the Armistice by Hadiist and Al'mariist spies. Acting under the guise of bringing freedom to the population, the terrorists have been manipulating the commoners to do their bidding. The Peacekeepers were unable to identify the leaders of the movement. A committee was formed to address the new threat. Despite hours of debate, the Parliament could not compromise with any motion. Three final proposals were presented to Queen Shumaila: The Royal Party proposed using the Royal Peacekeepers and the constabulary to identify and arrest the group members. Grand Duke Akym Yudenikh spoke to the parliament: The Commoners Party suggested caution and giving a chance for dialogue. Prince Serhiy Oliinyk explained their position to the Parliament: The Officers Party demanded that the Crown take action as soon as possible by declaring a national emergency and deploying the army to Olska to deal with the organization. Grand Admiral Mahtra Dynhaas introduced his plan to Queen Shumaila through a brief speech: The Parliament descended into shouting and accusations after Dynhaas's proposal. Queen Shumaila concluded the meeting without compromising with any of the plans. Instead, the Crown decided to wait for further investigations to take action against the Democratic Front.

Sorry for the delay. After reading this topic and checking logs, I reached the conclusion that the biggest issues here in this event, that were not handled in round, was the expectations about what the event was about. So, can't really do much when there is nothing set on events besides: do a vote before it. I will work on some guidelines to make sure that this kind of thing does not happens again. Likely by having admins explain how much violence and what is expected from events.
