Some issues with the backstory: I don't see much reason for them to live in a cavern or hidden before the war started. If they were living in the rural areas, it is likely that they probably had somewhere to work/live on, even if it was in communal farms or small farm land, which was redistributed after the end of the first civil war. Most of the zhan families would work on mines or farms. About the education; while the most remote parts of the countryside would have no schools, there is free education for everyone, even if it is heavily loaded with propaganda. He would probably have faced a lot of discrimination, but would not be impossible. Also, I am a bit confused from where the diploma came from. The basic learning stuff would be fine, since at this time, they still had a lot of contract with NanoTrasen, so getting their hands on basic textbooks and etc would not be hard. While I guess that becoming a kosmostrelki would not be impossible for a zhan, it would be very hard and he would not really go far in the ranks. The orbital fleet was created in 17/7/2457, which I guess it is not your fault and should be on the wiki. But, anyway, I am having a bit of trouble trying to understand why would he desert, if he really wanted to join the war, he could have been in the army. And just flying a ship into the planet would probably be suicide due to several reasons, and since being a pilot he would know that. While I think that being a patriot here is fine, I think that would be nice if you gave him some reason, besides joining the fleet, on why he supports the pra. Some of the benefits given to the generation population or prosperity brought by Al'mari works, or maybe he is just after the ala due to his father's death. Or you could have him be captured in some anti-piracy operation. I like the capture part, but I would like to know what exactly are his motivations and plans for the future with joining NanoTrase, what is he after in Tau Ceti? Does he still supports the PRA? What are his views on the war? Also, did he find any trouble in his journey? Take in consideraton the Sol embargo on the pra. Some small details; The capital is Nal'tor, and Ma'ta'ke means the religion/pantheon of gods, while Mata'ke is the singular deity. Some pages that could be useful to fix and flesh out the stuff I pointed: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=People's_Republic_of_Adhomai https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Tajaran_Emigration

Large sprites might have some issues, like clipping out of shadows, it is really better to avoid using bigger sprites for everyday stuff. Besides, someone has to change all limbs and clothing sprites to match it.

This should be a policy suggestion. In my opinion, it would be far better if heads of staff just played their character as head of staff or visitors. But, I guess since everyone is that invested in their character, it is better now to just let thing as they are. Voting for dismissal.

Voting for dimissal, this is a thing in game. And anyone can find this out by touching the headset. But, I will ask for the wiki team to add this in the mercenary page.

If the ion needs change, adding a rocket launcher is not the way to go. Voting for dismissal.

I guess this has been solved. Tbear was told to investigate better into issues. I will close this in around 24 hours.

I have zero plans in adding this to the loadout unless the human lore dev asks me. And in my opinion, not a fan of asking for this kind of item as a custom item.

It would far less straining if it was not a breeder. I am fine with them having a consular officer, but not with the breeder as it is.

Not even my point. They are still giant monster with countless arms, they have giant mandibles and wings. Having them around make monsters mudane, it makes them and other creatures less valuable story-wise. And how do people see them all the time if vaurca are meant to live in their own ghetto? They still need to have an awoval signed, and they were discovered in less than six or so years. And if they are normalized, it defeats the point of alieness at all. After all, it would make far more sense for a diplomat to try to envoke any kind of sympath, I for sure would have no real sympathy if the other person speaking to me was a giant bug monster. No, it would not be normal for people to see non-humanoids, the breeders and warforms are pretty much the only example among the playable species, with the exception of the dionae, but those either exist in space or don't matter all because they have zero presence at all. Sorry, but the vaurca breeder being on station on a normal days is pretty much the clear example of the vaurca lore creep. They exist everwhere, they can do everything, their importance exploded since they were discovered. Then, you have the c'thur that can ignore the awoval due to being friends with the skrell somehow. I am not against the consular and their stuff existing, I am against the breeder being the consular, it is very silly and it is a clear detriment to the story as whole.

I am not against them having a consular. I am against the consular being a breeder due to the reasons I explained. I don't see why another type of vaurca could not do the same job.

I think they should be removed due to the following reasons: -it makes them less important and unique. They are giant bugs that are wandering freely on station, and it is possible for them to show every round. That makes them less special and unique, imagine if the tajaran tank showed up every round. If anything they make our other monsters, like juggernauts and etc, look less important, because you are literally talking and making friends with a giant bug monster. -it feels forced, vaurca are a species that were not allowed no take regular positions because they were just discovered in around three or four years ago, they were put in ghettos were they would be attacked by gangs and angry people. Now, somehow, they have an entire political representation in NT, and it is being lead by giant bugs. -it is not believable. Why are you sending the breeders to be diplomats to humans? Why not send something more human-like, like a bound? Why send the most monstrous creature to be your diplomat instead of something that would invoke more sympathy? -it is shitcode. Yes, I coded it, it is badly handled, and the sprites are also way too big. The vaurca team failed to deliver smaller ones.

I will unban you, but take in consideration that if we have the same kind of issue we had before, the permaban can be applied again.

You can do that already by changing the frequency of the radio.

Hi, going to discuss this with staff and I will be back to you. But, for anyone reading this, remember the forums rules:

Not sure what you are talking about, because if you read the rules, you will find out the following about the notes: If he warned or banned you, sure, that would be bad, but he told you to don't do it and put a note on your record.

Well, I don't see any real malicious intent here from him, sure he could have looked into it more. And as I explained, if anyone has an issue, feel free to ahelp. Staff will usually step in if they see something that is clearly against the rules. Anway, the note is staying, and I will talk to tbear about this.

It is in the server rules.

That is what you see, but this is what staff would see if they had all emotes/radio and etc on. So, yes, I guess you could have missed it due to all stuff happening. Sorry, but I don't see any real evidence that people were biased due to the player in question. This claim could have some weight if it was not ahelped by some player, but that is not the case.

Well, from what I am seeing, it was after. Still, I don't see how the fact he did not see your emote or noted it is sign of him trying to his weight around or of nikov being persecuted. Because, as I said, people only ahelped about him, but, yes, I will add a note to your account then. Don't use emotes to this kind of stuff.

What did you emote?

Okay, but you said it in looc, ak local OUT OF CHARACTER. While he did an emote, aka: an ic action. As you said, he broke the fourth wall, and the rules are clear:

Can you explain what exactly do you mean by occuring from both sides? The looc stuff? Also, all notes are permanents here. But, no, I don't see any real evidence of people going after him, because, as I explained; someone ahelped that, the mod did was not ghosting over them or searching the chat for them doing something wrong.

The answer is simple: someone ahelped about this. Staff can't see everything that is happening, that is why we always tell people to ahelp. We don't really see everything happening, and if we see something that is rule breaking, staff should handle it.

You should be unbanned now, try connecting.

No, thanks. We had this before and it was really terrible. Voting for dismissal.
