Ban lifted as per appeal. Locked and archived.

Binned this due to too much antag interaction. Most if not all of this was reaction to antag stuff or reaction to how the antag was handled.

I've kept an eye on your behavior in the discord and am willing to unban you. You recognized your problem and are willing to improve on it. I hope this was a lesson that you learned and that we'll not have to talk about this again. That being said I need you to accept that the unban does not come for free. Any further problems of this kind will result in further punishment being handed out, which in your case would mean a ban without appeal. If you feel like your one month break has been enough to learn the lesson and that you are ready to jump back in I'll lift the ban. Awaiting your reply on this before lifting and closing this thread.

Idea, not ruling: Give them a small handheld analyzer that only goes to certain levels for lowpop situations. Add a research disk to cargo. Let them order it after like 15 minutes, so normal R&D would be more useful, but it's not required (again not all levels) Scavenge the warehouse for upgrade parts (you can do that already ) Use an RD for lowpop (I do that to get both running, conflicts with "focus on robotics" since you are also command in that case) Current situation: Robotics is the single most strongest lab, if it has materials and research. I do not see you abusing it, but we had problems with it in the past. A single mech can make or break a lowpop round. I know that there are changes to things like the mounted RCD that are heavily required in my opinion since it's broken AF right now. I'd love to hear some other suggestions as "allow them into R&D and do their job, too", I'm a friend of new ideas

Ah yes, black Kois, the most beautiful flower of all. It's a mutation of the Kois plant. It drains the light out of its surroundings, the more there is, the less your flashlight will help you. It grows inside everyone, you breathe it in you are most likely going to die -> or worse It releases phoron into the air. Fight it with fire? You die because the room is now on fire. It needs no light and no water and can grow everywhere. People usually don't enjoy it a lot, but for the dedicated xenobotanist it can be a lot of fun displaying it in unsecured trais all over the station or engineering a weapon that could while out planets. Overall... If you see it, you are probably dying, because you technically don't exactly see it without a ton of lights. You can grow this as xenobotanist, but is usually only used by antags due to how fast it spreads and how lethal it is. Your usuall Kois outbreak means lockdown for the entire station and screening people on the Odin. Black Kois might mean the Odin coming to you in form of an ERT. Overall not a beginner friendly plant, but one of my personal favourites for causing panic.

The peanut was safely returned. I consider the damage as fixed, but the act itself was cruel.

Outstanding player who decided to become a lore nerd and is therefore forever shunned and to be seen as denied. On a side note I like them. So +1 On a serious note: Good RP, has been handling stress really well, has shown multiple times that they can handle command positions when abused as made interim. I have no doubt that they'll honor the whitelist.

How about no?

Yes, you are. There where no actions taken against you. It was not a series of slurs. Burger has kept his suggestions open ended without naming anyone. You have decided to feel like it was aimed at you or that you where required to respond to it. I do not blame you for his response, nor deny you the right to respond to him. My intention was that you as staff member know that we sometimes have to just swallow a situation for overall improvement, even if it may seem hard in the moment. I asked both sides to keep interaction to a minimum if they are not able to converse in a peaceful manner. I was and still am thinking that you are able to just ignore Burgers comments, since you now know that it will end like this, no matter how polite you respond. From my point of view the word cunt was used once. I used a rather harsh tone to tell Burger to drop it, letting him know that he "knows the rules" by now and noted it. My intention was to keep OOC "cunt" free and that is still my goal. If this complaint opens the option for you two to talk to each other using facts and clearing up misunderstandings, then by all means please do so, as I personally have no issue with either of you two and would like you to come to terms with each other so that we may focus on enjoying the game. Personal note: I am new, I do not know the backstory and frankly it should not matter. You either get along or you don't. OOC is and always will be the wrong place to carry it out. I hope this forum thread will yield some results so we can move on from this.

Reporting Personnel: Kim Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Librarian Game ID: b3s-aF4B Personnel Involved: (Name, Job Title: Offender/Witness/Other) - Nigel Silva (Ressearch director, Offender) - Oscar Easter (NI Officer, Victim) - Natascha Sukhoi (Scientist, Victim) - Omari Etienam (EPMC Officer, Victim) - Kim (Free IPC Librarian, Victim) - Alesya Volkova (NI Warden / Officer, Witness) Time of Incident: Real Time: (0800ECT+1 9/28/19) Location of Incident: NSS Aurora / Unknown solarian ship Nature of Incident: [x] - Workplace Hazard [x] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [x] - Neglect of Duty [ ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [x] - Misconduct [x] - Other: Gross negligence Overview of the Incident: After hearing about an expedition team being put together during the early hours of my work routine I asked the research director whether or not advanced first aid was required. He gave me a suit cooling unit and send me to EVA storage to request a suit. The officer inside was kind enough to allow me in to grab a suit and I went to the medbay to request one advanced first aid kit. CMO Sterben gave the permission and a stationbound opened the required doors for me. After this short preparation we met in front of the bridge. The two officers that I included in this report asked multiple times if for rifles to which the director responded that his hardsuit was more than able to block any dangers we might face. While this raised some eyebrows, the officers where also wearing armor and we entered the shuttle and flew to the designated expedition site. After noting that only the director had a working jetpack he decided to scout the area around the shuttle and then told us to take a straight jump out of the airlock. We all collided into a stranded solarian ship and made our way inside. During our exploration of said ship we faced turrets of different caliber and one Ion turret. It was decided that the scientist should take care of it since they where purely organic and not in a hardsuit. The scientist who obviously never held a gun in her life unloaded the first life round into one of the officers faces, which was luckily blocked by the helmet. After I treated the officer and we explored a few further areas the director came running out of a room and collapsed in front of the rest of our team. He was hit four times by a pulse turret and in a critical state. I managed to stabilize him while the officers took care of the turret. Inside the bridge of the solarian ship I found a bluespace crystal which the director told me to keep for myself. I handed it over to the other scientist who acknowledged it's value and made sure it would be handed over to NT. We also found multiple antimatter containment canisters of which I took two back to the station and a locker filled with solarian marine uniforms. When we all returned to the Aurora I informed CMO Sterben about the high infection risk of our director and he greeted us at the bridge to make sure the organic part of our team was healthy. While the director walked off rather quickly I asked the rest of our team if they had signed any paperwork before the expedition, as I believed that was common at least for human crew and contractors. To my regret I was informed that none of the teams members had signed any form of waiver before departing into the unknown. After CMO Sterben let me out of the bridge I was left alone in front of the bridge with an almost destroyed leg, an Ion rifle, two .45 pistols plus life ammunition and the two antimatter containment canisters. I collapsed multiple times during my way over to the brig to hand over the equipment and findings. When I talked to the warden they told me that they noticed that we took no equipment at all from the armory and that they where worried whether or not we'd come back at all. While the scientist announced the find of an invaluable bluespace crystal the director decided to parade the hallways in solarian combat uniforms for reasons unknown. At no point during our expedition was an attempt made to return and get specialized gear, nor did the critical state that the director was in stop him from pressing for further investigation of the solarian ship. It is through sheer luck that he made it out alive and I do not wish to see him endanger the crews safety like this again. Did you report it to a Head of Department or IAA? If so, who?: Warden Alesya Volkova, after CMO Sterben left me heavily damaged outside the bridge. Actions taken: I handed two antimatter containment canisters to the warden to store them inside the armory for another RD to handle. The warden supported my decision to file an IR after they noticed that nothing was taken from the armory to aid the expedition team. Due to the ongoing crew transfer no additional actions where taken. Additional Notes: I do not think that a director unable to find anything important for the NT research division, even offering members of the expedition team to keep things like a bluespace crystal as personal belonging, nor caring for their own or their teams safety should be allowed to lead any form of expedition team. The fact that only the scientist was able to determine whether or not something was worth keeping simply puts the command position of a director to shame and I do not think that Nigel Silva reflects the quality of the other directors I met so far.

I absolutely had to ^^ So scenario time. Round has ended. You got around 5 tickets open, everyone tells you a different story and around 60 player are OOC screeching for the restart. One or two fellow mods are asking how long it'll take and to hurry up your tickets (they don't mean evil, they just didn't read them and don't know what a clusterfuck of a situation you are in). Would you tell them a) to take it to the forums or b) stay calm and go another 15 minutes to figure it out and take the staff complaint from the salty player who got the stick? Now I don't need a good answer to this ^^ it's just a typical scenario that humbles me whenever it happens. You may be in control with the small question tickets and name changes by knowing the game and the rules, but that damn ticket at 1:40 that takes to 2:30 always cracks me up. Because the really good solution there is to ask for help and I kinda need your promise here that you'll do that, even if you don't know the other staff members online that well. Someone will always be around to help, but they may not be paying attention, or doing their own thing and so on... a lot of starting out as moderator for me included asking questions and for help. Having initiative and knowing your limits is how Skull phrased it in the trial criteria post. Now I am a simple man. I trust you when you say you got this, for obvious reasons you'd still have to prove this during a trial. A trial I'd like to see you in and even help out when it comes to situations like this. Because lets be honest here: Everyone got their own package to carry and I don't know yours well enough to comment on it. I'd like to find out how you do when faced with those difficult situations. Meaning I'd love to see you in a trial

I was one of those that got picked up by Thea Reeves when I first started with SS13. Honest words, without Thea and Roadman I wouldn't have decided to stay around. I loved to learn ICly and still do. I got the feeling from both that they enjoyed teaching and it always gave me a big smile to see them on the manifest after a long day at work. I get the complaint that you tend to go afk. I even kicked you for falling asleep as a visitor once or twice to cryo you. Now I am not going to say that this behavior will influence or stay when you get a trial. I feel confident in saying that your willingness to help in combination with the tickets and lovely bwoink sounds will keep your eyes wide open. ^__^ You got my full support with your app and I hope I'll see you in a trial. Be ready to get yelled at

Real talk. You'll see all the tickets. You'll be bombarded with the knowledge whether you want it or not. I have no doubt that you'll pick up whatever you need quickly and not be afraid to ask for help as I've so far seen you as a smart one when it comes to the borders of your knowledge ^^ Do I trust you to handle shitters and conflicts? Absolutely. You are one of the most chill people we have and I think that attitude is the most important thing about moderation. More often than not it includes figuring stuff out together with the player. I remember a round where you where made interim CE and even having the right whitelist you asked more experienced engineers to help you with things because ICly Rain didn't feel ready yet. Helping out people takes time and a calm mind and sometimes stuff just doesn't work. I think your engineering has more often than not shown that you can absolutely handle that approach. +1 pL0x Twial

That's not how you write a 10th of a second I'm going to play the reverse card here. I thank people for reporting things

I have no memory of the events mentioned in your claim nor can I confirm any of what you said. But yes I did

Local canadien complains about lack of "thank you" Good meme ?

Going to wing in here as I got a lot of tickets about from this player. They are really trying their best to learn the mechanics of command, keeping their focus on RP even if they have problems with mechanics like the fax mashine. I remember when I got dropped into command and had no clue how to do anything. It involves a lot of making stuff up in your mind and RPing as if it was exactly the thing the company wants from you. You are doing that and you are doing that great. I've seen your HoP arround often enough and ineracted with them up to a point where I can now give you my full confidence. You'll be a good addition to the command whitelist and I wish you the best of luck getting it. +1

Okay, I got to share something personal since this rubs me in all the wrong space. We sit here all day scared of the bwoink, because it means work and responsibility. We have to close the tickets as soon as we can or else we forget it and get yelled at by our fellow staff members at round end. The blue on blue violence really is out of hand... I remember a round where I had to wind several other moderators because they thought they could call me stinky in LooC. But that's not even the worst part. More often then not we fear the words that ever staff member fears True horror whenever I read this, I am scared to write enjoy your round before closing a ticket just because the other side could be quicker and hit me with this really harsh phrase. For comparison I am going to attach a picture with a ticket of this. The names have been crossed out, but you can surely agree that it's the most horrible thing one could ever experience while just trying to ban help

Afaik PDA logs are in the server room and the RD can watch them whenever they want. It would be radio logs that pop up. You can pick the command channel and just have every log written out to you. I have as an antag changed the translation of languages to force people to only speak sol on common and it was pure cancer. So yeah, it would require a lot of monitoring from command and staff but I'd be down to give it a try.

RD and captain, too. But that's not helping. I like the job. Would make the entire area not so antag focused and maybe give us more than three people who can repair and rebuild that place. But the Issue of total comms monitoring needs to be addressed. Don't want to hand that to just anyone tbh.

This was a mistake. I told you people would abuse it. Guess now time will tell. In the name of all those who will just use it to claim the "best scientist 4eva" in LooC I'd still like to say "Thank you". Hope I'm not right on this one.

Really enjoying what I read so far. I've been doing people from the frontier and I agree that the choice and headcannon part is important to keep up while streamlining it a little bit for newer players looking for outlines to their characters from the wiki. I think your Idea may allow people to keep their storries, but also outline how the alliance works and why they'd stick together. Making the out rims a bit more dangerous seem to make sense with all the mega corps and empires controlling the more civilised spaces while giving the alliance a bigger role in handling their territory. Think of them having to defend the outside from criminals and the more established parts from companies would make for an interesting enough form of government which more people might pick instead of going with the "out of nowhere" characters. Would love to see you build up on this side of the Frontiersmen, too. +1
