This was not an easy decision, but to help me in the future of the tajaran lore, I have decided to select the most experienced tajaran writers for it. Sue did a great work by creating the tajaran lore that we expanded a lot in the past years, and I trust her skills as a writer. Application accepted.

This was not an easy decision, but to help me in the future of the tajaran lore, I have decided to select the most experienced tajaran writers for it. I have worked enough with Coalf to know that he is a capable writer and is very passionate about the lore. Application accepted.

No idea what people told you before, but what I am telling you now is what is going to happen. I feel like it is kinda common sense that giving people way too many chances is bad. Would be really bad if drago forced you to prove something and then said no, but she just said no right away, which I don't see much issue with.

You don't. You are not going to be unbanned ever again.

You were permabanned around three times or so, and each time that you were unbanned, you promissed that you did learn with your mistakes and that you would change. Sorry, but you are not being unbanned again, because in a sense we do not really trust you at all anymore.

You were given enough chances, you are not being unbanned again. I told drago to don't unban you. Sorry, but a second chance is fine, a third might be possible, but a fourth is not happening.

If there is anyone's fault on fowl's case is from the headdevs, nothing I can do in here. Sorry, but it is not good to step on other people's toes in this case, unless needed. And the complaint that involved name callings, both of them, were ruled against him. So, I dont really think we are ignoring stuff here. On the mod stuff: I looked the dates, and I was the headmin at the time, you even spoke to me about the possibility of them influencing the ban, which I did look into with and found no evidence of that. On the erp stuff, you told about it, but with zero example or evidence of anything, nothing really I could do in tjis situation. So, both of us are somewhat wrong in the details, but if you wanted to make a complaint while banned, that would be fine because there is a role which lets people do this even forum banned, which you made use of Sorry, but there is a giant difference between saying what and you garn said, and outright calling each other cunts. I even took in consideration the context of you being provoked to dont permaban you. I will also take the context in consideration, otherwise you would also deserve to be banned. And on coalf complaint, it is proof that complaints do work. If you want to change your argument here due to that, it is kinda bad faith. But, I will what the others head of staff have to say about this. I will return tomorrow or sunday.

Moderation staff do not handle staff complaints related to devs. You should have made a complaint or told an admin, I am not going to chase ghosts, mostly when there is zero evidence of anything. I mean, you were also insulting them, I don't see how that makes you right here as well. So, I do believe that a warning for both of you is fine. You should have made a complaint in this case. I also don't have any recollection of this happening. I mean, I don't see how him being sassy is fine when you literally goes; "oh of course it was you garn" when he tries to apologize for shooting you in game by accident.

After looking into the round and the arguments in this complaint, I have reached the following conclusions: - I do not really think that what he did was low rp or chucklefucking. The missfire excuse seems fine taking in consideration that security was after them, and garn even tried to explain himself after the round. - I don't really see how what he said to you was offensive, you were pretty much the first one to start it. - As I said, people will joke about a lot of things, which also includes ban, complaints and code. I don't see him ignoring you here or making any joke. - Amory's point was adressed by goret in round. Anyway, I had some trouble trying to understand what is the compaint on his in game behavior. But, as I said; I don't really think that he did anything wrong on ooc taking in consideration the situation as whole. Also, there is enough proof of complaints that were ruled against staff, I don't think that people making jokes about them is a bad thing. I will consider this solve, and will be closed in one day or so.

I will handle this. Except some answer this week. But, I will make something clear; garn is just joking on the complaint thing, and he is being serious with you here, unlike on the discord that has a really different tone. Sorry, but I do not really agree that he is doing anything wrong by making those jokes, and there are a lot of examples of staff having complaints being ruled against them.

Here to make this more clear; hud, belts and balaclavas are fine to be ordered from cargo. If anything, the balaclavas are an ic issue. But, we have decided that ordering the zipties without a reason is not a good call, and the player has been told to do not, the warning will be changed to reflect this. Due to zipties allowing people in hardsuits to be cuffed right away, unlike regular handcuffs. If there is an ic issue with the uniform regulations, you should get in contact with cciaa.

This pr removes bluespace echoes: https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/7239 Why they should be removed: -overly punishing mechanic that was an attempt to nerf/balance telescience, alongside with the explosions -really unreliable to revert, unlike in old telescience -does not create any roleplay at all, since the echo can not properly communicate besides repeating words -really lame when it happens due to accidental teleportation, I have seen random people and ninjas being turned into those due to teleportation not related to telescience, it is really impossible to go back to your body after this -there is no way to revert this without using teleportation that somehow has to land right on the top of an empty body, which is not really easy with portals or anything else -barely explored and explained lore-wise, without even considering the implications that this stuff would cause, like body switching and the comproved existence of souls -most of the echo powers are really bad, and cause a lot of explosions when used due to how teleporation works Overall, I do not think they add anything of value to the round, they are just another failed attempt to nerf telescience without solving its main issues, and that is why I want to remove them.

I have some concerns. First; as people pointed out, your behavior. You can get kinda mean when things do not go as you want. I am not so sure if this has been really solved, but the last time I experienced anything like that from you was around two weeks ago. Second; the time you were a synth deputy. You were really innactive, you just edited a single page related to synths, and it was to add/change someone's else lore. It took months to have you retire, and when it happened, you left claiming that you were working on something about drones. It looked like to me that you were just trying to scramble something at the last minute to avoid your removal. I guess those are my concerns. Do you think you can really have a good attitude in the team when things do not go how you want? Are you really going to be active?

I have been working with lore as a deputy for around one year or so. I can manage my positions without much problem. If I am accepted, I want to bring two lore deputies to help me.

Can't tell you without spoilers, sorry, but I have plans for the future.

The history of how things came to be will be explained in details in my history expansion. And I am fairly sure that you can find why they rebelled in the wiki, Even if so, not everyone rebelled and they only won due to human support and the Hadii changing sides. Both of their beliefs are different, it is clearly explained in the wiki. And I don't see how the dpra is authoritarian, they have a democracy that is not controlled by a political dynasty, people chose the president, sure they might have some problems, but as I said, things take time, nothing is perfect and there will be people that will get in the way to push their own agendas. And like the wiki says, being from the dpra allows you to be more than the pra citizen model. It would be really impossible/nonsensical to be a zhan nomad from the pra, because your culture is not compatible with the mission of the pra. And like I said, it is my mission to make them more different, because I do believe that this can be done.

On why they are against gay; It is because their society was based on castes and bloodlines for centuries, not reproducing was something very bad, mostly for the nobility that used everyone else as their workers and soldiers. And as I said, they just got out of the control of the nobility, they are really behind humanity in a lot of fields. From the wiki: "Because of the Tajara's history as a repressive, conservative species, they have not grown too open-minded or liberal - unlike humanity's progressive views for example. Overt displays of affection and especially homosexuality among Tajara are looked down on and treated as a deviancy. There exists discrimination and bias against other races of Tajara - particularly against Zhan-Khazan for their purported low intelligence and rebellious tendencies. As a result, Tajara generally avoid interbreeding between races. An extension of the racism which prevents Tajara from breeding outside of their race can be found in the general public's extreme revulsion to notions of relationships outside of the species, an act which is considered an intolerable fetish to most."

I do want to have more representation of the other factions on station, and this is part of my future plans. I can't explain more due to spoilers. I will give people incentivize to pick their own sides as well. I also believe that this problem is due to the lore making the pra the only faction that is recognized as the sole tajaran nation. This was too deep into the lore, that I could not do anything about it. But, this will change.

The tajara are relatively new to the galaxy community. Around 40 years or so, that is not really enough time for people to integrate, mostly when they come from a culture that had a really conflicted first contact, the first civil war was big and important. So, yes, most of them come from simple backgrounds and are used in cheap labor, it is not easy for poor people in this case. However, I believe that there are enough opportunities to play a character that has integrated into the tau ceti society, NanoTrasen offers them the chance to learn more, and the three factions have colleges and education centers that could give anyone enough education to become a head of staff. That is due to the species being locked in a war for ten years, Adhomai is a place full of problems and struggle. It takes time to get things going and up to date. But, places like the pra do have good good results, as they were able to implement stuff like public education, publid health, public housing and etc, but everything has its own downsides. And no, the only faction that really accepts the caste system is the nka. Both pra and dpra are against it, and have different views on how to deal with it. From the wiki: "The Republican government seeks to create a single monolithic culture for the tajaran species under the ideological vision of Hadiism. The suppression of the ethnic caste system installed by the previous noble rule is one of the goals of the People’s Republic, that has been reached with little success, as such divisions are still deeply entrenched in the tajaran people." "The government of the DPRA seeks to dismantle the ethnic caste system present intajaran society. Instead of creating policies and using the force of the state to do so, they believe that this goal can be reached by giving the necessary opportunities and freedom from external influences to the tajara species." The issue is that Crevus existed as its own bubble, and it did not suffer any drawback from breaking from the norm. It is still a very different place from your regular city in the dpra, as its allows stuff like cassinos, tourism and the presence of NanoTrasen, something that you would not really find in the rest of the country. And I see little different from having mafia and gangs here, both are criminals, and both do crime. If you want to play a criminal character, that is fine, but you must understand what a criminal does. And just saying that they don't kill people or do any serious crime, is kinda off, mostly when the city was meant to have a really high social difference. That is not true. Because humanity is pretty much paste this kind of thing, unlike the tajara, that sufferend a low of cultural and technological stagnation due to their story. And I don't think they have no tradition or culture, when the tajara team focused a lot on it, and create a lot of stuff, like the ones I linked on my application. And yes, it is based on that area and period, that is part of the specis' "hat", and their inspiration. Same happens with other species. I also plan to give each faction more distinct culture, I tried to do so in their own pages, which have a cultural section explaining how people live and the like. I would be very cautious with generalization. I had a lot of interaction with and as pra consular officers that did not involve gay problems. Like helping people with regulation related to uniforms, and people protesting against pra by throwing fruits at the office. None of their directives are related to this, they have a lot of tools to create interesting roleplay with tajara and non-tajaran. I don't change the development to try to please people or tackle a problem that should have been solved with a simple talk over pms. I have no intention of bringing the camps back. And I have no idea who are those people, no one brings names to me or any other stafff about this. And from the only case that was brought to me, I looked into it, and found it was really ic stuff, and no one was trying to push any ooc agenda here. I have zero plans to change or accommodate any groups pushing any ooc agenda while I am writing lore. They don't really. The nka and the dpra emerged from people that did not agree with the main rulling force, the pra at the time. In a sense, they are the opposition. We also have three factions, and some of them have their own subsects, creating a new faction that is against everyone might be too much now. And no, you can be more than a noble or farmer, the nka pages does describe the ways of life that a commoner can chose. But, people are free to be a tajaran that rejects all parties and is against the war, that is pretty much going against the system. Even if people complain about this kind of character, I believe they have their place and can be good, as long they just don't ignore stuff and have a good reason for their stance.

Your behavior on the server is very good, and I think you could work fine with the team. This application has my support. But, I have some concerns about the SLF and the arc. How do you plan to return them? Using ic means or a rewrite/retconn? Also, the slf arc was not meant to be something long, do you plan for it to still be short with higher intensity or something that will last longer, but will have a lower intensity?

Application accepted.

The answers are fine, but I have some questions about the backstory; 1- what religion does she follows? 2- what are her opinions on the war? Which side does she supports? 3- which job are you planning to play with this character? 4-what exactly are her plans to move to tau ceti? Just get more experience?

After talking to the other headmins about proxy unbans, we are not going to accept them. The player in question will have to apply on his own, sorry.

Why is this a proxy unban request?

I have other proposal. Allow assistants to have maintenance access, so they can raid the tunnels before security does.
