Thank you for the clarification. I half expected this to be what you meant although I wanted to clarify. Nonetheless your app demonstrates an understanding of IPCs and an ability apply said lore to character creation. Accepted.

Thank you for applying! How does Fabulinus feel about freedom, or the prospect of being self owned? If at all. Also, more me not understanding but, what do you mean by this?

Can you expand upon this portion? I'm curious what you mean by this. How does acting off of cause and effect mean that they aren't capable of having the same level of social interactions as organics? Also, can you expand upon the backstory? As it stands only the foundation is there for the IPC (built, training info, shipment) but it's lacking otherwise. As it stands, how does the backstory differ from a station-bound? I often look for details to the story that offer a concrete understanding of the lore and how to apply it etc etc. Admittedly this line raises a red flag for me: How will the character fit in when they themselves aren't very good at interaction? The Aurora isn't always fighting after all.

Trinary Perfection flags are now available in the load-out in addition to being added to the wiki: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=The_Trinary_Perfection

I really hate the massive migration and I often find that truly purging the station of them, (getting access to areas, putting down inflatables where needed, charging both my suit cooler and my gun, finally shooting them) can mean that I am made busy during the entire round. Even with a partner. This is rather counter intuitive to roleplay and I'd rather see the mode removed or DRASTICALLY reduced. The same can goes for spiders. Since an unattended white spider can really fuck up the station. If security or medical can't roleplay on extended, then they should learn to. A reduction in these events maaaaayyyy also encourage players to go on expeditions or host station stuff like plays, station training, so on and so forth.

My issue with this is that although my cult preferences are off, I am fine being converted in round and I don't mind when these situations happen. I'd rather not DIE simply because I don't want to spawn as cultist or be drafted however.

Hello! Since we're past 72 hours since the app's posting, I'll close any deny it for now however you're welcome to reapply whenever you're ready. Personally, I recommend taking a look at past applications for insight or inspiration.

Making the cult unresistable is likely just going to end up with converted players entering cryogenics shortly after. Also I thought the current rune damages you each time you say no until you die, right?

I believe Abo would be a great re-addition to the team. He is incredibly level headed, able to call his friends out on their bullshit and someone who is more than willing to grow and change as a person. I sat on giving my +1 for awhile simply because I wagered he didn't need it. If that should mean anything for the general support Abo has within the community.

Thank you for applying. The background is however bare-bones and calls for a two paragraph minimum. Can you greatly expand upon it? I am fine with new accounts to the server applying however since it is difficult to vet new players, I expect a more well rounded or air tight application. As well as expanding upon this question here:

Not true. IPCs overheat and take damage in vented areas. IPCs also have stamina in the form of their battery (a shell can only try to disarm someone four times before they're at a red battery) and subsequent overheating by running for too long.

Oh god I forgot about the AOE as well. I (much to my embarrassment) once downed myself and another officer by picking up the ion and firing, not knowing there even was an AOE.

I think that the ion should be changed so that if set to lethal, it only has one shot. That way if you choose to fire it, you'd better make sure you're going to hit and it means you can't spray. The gun is nearly the equivalent of the station nuke and if an antag has it, IPCs are powerless to do anything.

That was what we half expected, thank you for answering our questions. Your application demonstrates an understanding of IPCs as well as the ability to apply said lore to character creation. Accepted.

Fair! One last question came up as my team was discussing your application but is there a reason they're employed as a cargo technician over a quartermaster? If a large part of their original work pertained to the management of goods. Unless this will be apart of the development? etc etc.

Thank you for applying! More out of curiosity, what chassis was Task in before the incident and what chassis in Task in now? Baseline for the current chassis?

I should add that I fear the changes might mean more trouble than they're worth. Although I know my investigative pair won't have issue, what I more expect is player frustrations when paired with someone who instead opts to take the entire role from the other. I also think 'x doesn't have enough to do' isn't a valid excuse. Investigations has the flexibility to truly roleplay during a round of secret and if you're finding yourself without a task, go roleplay or act as a coordinator for security in lieu of a commander.

I like the changes but I am concerned by it's implementation. I can only imagine investigator B having every job or every opportunity taken from them by investigator A. And I don't believe 'ahelp it' is a valid response where we could be possibly tweaking its implementation so a player doesn't wordlessly run off with the kit and throw the other investigator under the bus. Having two CSI kits in the office might help. Will there be two guns? One?

BYOND Key: niennab Staff BYOND Key: yonnimer Game ID: b8r-aOVE (August 2nd, 2020) Reason for complaint: I got caught up in a few things that forced me to put this on the back-burner so I apologize for posting this so late. To quickly clarify before I get into the details, I hold no animosity towards anyone in this complaint. However in making the thread, I want to argue two points. I want to argue against the ruling but more importantly: I want to ask that, if the admins deem Yonnimers judgement as fair, the note be moved to my account and removed from Snakebitten’s account. I wondered for a while if I should post this but the main reason I want to more lies in taking responsibility for the note itself. I was the one who made the suggestion to use the crusher and I was the one to activate it. The round was with Rasune Ki’hata as a vampire and they did a fantastic job as an antag with building up their actions throughout the round. I was Z.I.Brandon during the round and I cannot recall if I saw Ki’hata spirit themselves away earlier in the round but there was an earlier instance where we were struggling to chase them down after they took I Engineer (or Engineering Apprentice) hostage ,possibly thralling said engineer. However much later on in the shift, while processing someone else, Z.I.Asbetos arrived at security with Ki’hata in cuffs. Someone from medical then arrived and remarked on how Ki’hata needed treatment. As such, Asbetos and I moved to medical with Ki’hata. While receiving treatment, Ki’hata eventually spirited themselves away, leading us onto another chase. In chasing down Ki’hata and eventually finding them at the bottom bar maintenance tunnel, a fight ensued that moved to disposals. What follows is what pertains to the note. From here, Asbetos walk-shoved Ki’hata onto the crusher floor and both of us dropped tear gas grenades onto the lower level. After the cloud cleared we went down the ladder but Ki'hata was still fighting. However once we had her in cuffs (I don’t know what condition she was in), the transfer shuttle had just left the station or was about to. As such we really only had a few minutes left of the round. With Brandon, I try to play him as being constantly reminded of his legal fragility with Zavodskoi Interstellar and that failure isn’t tolerated. Using this, in addition to the constant (what Brandon would deem) failings we had as Security in securing Ki’hata, when Z.I.Asbetos asked something along the lines of “But what do we do?” I had Brandon look at and suggest the crusher, remarking on how “No one needs to know.” I don’t know if this holds up but part of my thought process was that it was minutes to round end, and it gave me an opportunity to potentially play up questionable morality with Brandon. Moreover, I asked the vampire (I hate the phrasing I used however) in looc if it was cool that we kill them now or something of that vein. They said to go for it, or that it was cool, and so I had hoped that by having the player’s consent, it meant on an admin/mod side it was fine. If they had said no, I wouldn’t have used the crusher. Once it came time to use the crusher, the round hit it’s end prompt ‘A round of Vampire has ended’ and I started the crusher. I had no idea about these augment nulling injections that are mentioned in Snakebitten’s ticket either. Personally, I would rather avoid ever pacifying a character with soporific as well as I feel it just isn’t fun for the player involved but that's just my opinion. However, because I had the idea and activated the crusher, if the ruling on Yonnimer’s part was deemed fine, I would like to ask that it’s added to my account and removed from Snakebitten’s. I understand with further thought that my idea to essentially crush the antagonist as a nonantag is a bit questionable however. I think ultimately my reasoning may have felt a bit more justified in the moment as a means to close the round and the ‘story’ in a sense. Evidence/logs/etc: Additional remarks: Sorry for the long read.

Great work! I'd love to see more. Digital painting can be so haaaard.
