  1. Oh yes, I am going to suffer through a round type I hate and enjoy having no fun simply so a quick two hour round of blood and bitching can satisfy everyone's pathological desire to be robust murderboners. No thanks. As I said, welcome to first past the post democracy. You have no right to force people to play something they don't want to.
  2. No. If fifteen people vote nuke and only twelve ready, blame yourselves. If the majority vote nuke and don't ready, then I don't even know why those people voted nuke to begin with. To make us suffer? If I don't want to play your shitty mode I will speak with my vote and my ready. Welcome to first-past-the-post-democracy. I'd say raise it to twenty, because 10 crew versus 5 ops is ridiculous. 7 crew versus 5 ops is even stupider.
  3. And also if you don't have your gun trained on them it is useless. The point is to give a visual cue when you're doing things, as it would be visible.
  4. Because 'hands in the air' means 'obviously reach into my backpack which requires me to pull it around for accessing and pull out a revolver to fire at someone'. Also make the inventory screen disappear after a bit to prevent people running around with it open.
  5. I think the rank you're looking for is 'lieutenant commander'. Lieutenant captain isn't a thing.
  6. I don't know why Tajaran are becoming such an easy target but I think it might have something to do with the fact that people seem to not be able to understand Tajaran lore. Let's start at the beginning. Tajaran were never 'enslaved' like blacks were in the past. Their history is one that might be equated to slavery, but in reality, they were ruled by an oppressive government institution that had the peasantry perform menial tasks from construction to mining to home making. They weren't exactly treated well by their leaders, and a majority of profits and land (whether you lived on it or not, ho taxes!) were owned by the government. In essence, Tajaran were mistreated and abused by their government which ultimately boiled into a worldwide conflict and war where they systematically eradicated their government leaders and any icons they associated with them, including literature. For a long time, Tajaran couldn't be heads, and that is all well and good. When I was appointed cat loremaster, I'd decided that since it had mostly been that way since Aurora's conception as far as my information led me, that it was time to start trial running cats in non-important head positions. Some, specifically Jackboot, made it to HoP before a second conflict broke out on cat planet, sparking terrorist/revolutionary movements, and discrediting Tajaran from important head positions like HoP and Captain for a very long time. Tajaran are not a race of slaves; they are a race of oppressed peoples who have thrown off the shackles of one dictator government and are passionate, where very few ever want a return to how things used to be. Yes, there are high crime rates. Yes, there is discrimination. But the reason a cat can be a head and an IPC cannot is that a cat has critical thinking. A robot is programmed. It is not free thinking. It cannot break standard procedure to do something else. A Tajaran can go 'hmmh, this isn't procedure, but it might just save the lives of my crewmen', whereas a robot one hundred percent cannot do that because it is programmed. You cannot program gut feelings, or intuition, or anything that makes a good leader. IPCs are machines. They were built by humanity. They are equipment. No matter how many people take issue with this fact, as a member of the lore team, I will do my damndest to ensure that it does not change, because you need to understand the restrictions placed against certain alien races. This isn't Hypatia, or Best RP, or Reddit. I don't know why I'd see people complaining about 'furries' and 'yiff yiff' since that line of thought is contrived and incorrect. I am in charge of Tajaran. I have pulled out all the stops to elevate them above that, and I find it insulting when people imply that Tajaran are special snowflakes who have nothing bad happen to them, when in fact, I even went out of my way to have an event where NT locked them up to find terrorists in their cat workforce. They aren't respected highly by the galaxy; how crew on the Aurora treat them is not conducive to the galaxy's mentality. Do not shift the blame onto other alien races with anecdotal evidence, because I can assure you that almost all of the IPCs I have seen are angsty metal humans who seem to fail to grasp that they are equipment and not people.
  7. [11:09:57 PM] Sue: put plating under windows [11:10:03 PM] Sue: put windows on the left and right sides [11:10:22 PM] Sue: corner with grey chairs awfully designed [11:10:24 PM] Sue: tight as fuck you have failed young grasshoper
  8. Just one thing, Hharar is an ethnicity, not a clan name. Basically the white people of the Tajaran. Approved.
  9. Standard head positions for Tajaran are CE, HoS, and CMO. RD is the most important head and you'd better be blowing an exec to even be considered that position, or the mind of the century. Captain and HoP are pretty much disallowed. The reason for this is Captain, despite RD being arguably the most important (as the Aurora is a research station), is basically in charge of the whole station and are typically veteran members of NanoTrasen employ. Given political instability on Adhomai as well as the species' relative young age, they would not be given this position. Because Jackboot had a HoP Tajaran prior to me deciding the political instability would dampen Tajaran in middle management, and also because he had reason enough to be considered, given his position within the internal affairs bureau, I'll allow it because he probably had some promise for Command. But HoP is a middle management position, and you are probably part of the human resources department. NanoTrasen doesn't feel entirely comfortable allowing Tajaran access to the amount of records and clerical data a HoP typically comes into contact with given the recent political instability. I expect Jackboot not to abuse this decision, because as he remembers, he was suspected by investigators during the onset of the real political crisis. That means don't be HoP all the time.
  10. That's because you have an autopsy lab, not a personal morgue. The body should be either bagged and ID'd by medical first or you should have a medical official on scene.
  11. Except what you are literally describing is the proper amount of force to respond to that situation with. Try running at a cop when he has a gun pointed at you and see if you don't get shot; in the situation you described, discharging your weapon would be a logical and reasonable choice, assuming you literally aren't surrounded by security who can non-lethally subdue a suspect.
  12. I gave you constructive criticism. And yes, it is really far fetched. The entire thing leaves a seriously bad taste in my mouth, and I think you aren't giving enough credit to law enforcement and are probably under the impression that they're donut-eating fatties. The Syndicate and their awful name are galaxy-wide recognized as a terrorist organization. You'll notice that in today's world there are specific detachments of veteran and experienced police officers that form counter-terror groups who gather information on their members. If your character, who was involved in so many violent and random murders, got involved with them, they'd know. You cannot propagate many violent homicides and expect the police not to care. They'd be keeping tabs and hunting you down and they'd have people planted in the Syndicate or information sources. You'd bet your ass they'd be made aware of a wanted felon and terrorist guilty of a rapsheet of homicide and your face change would mean little because there always is a paper trail. I'd also like to state this isn't 1962 with cops that have no idea what DNA or forensics or literally any applied criminal science is. Escaping from the era of bad technology is easy. In 2457, law enforcement has a wide variety of cutting edge tools; what the FBI and police can do today is amazing, I highly doubt more than four centuries in the future they'd be unable to locate someone who goes around shooting anyone who might have even looked at her brother the wrong way. You also didn't answer my question. Why would she do this for some random person she'd never met and only shares half of her DNA with? Abandon your cushy job to take on every law enforcement agency in the galaxy just because your brother was arrested for a crime he committed, ignoring that fact and ignoring you literally never interacted, then somehow magically destroy the evidence in a high profile police investigation and have that go entirely undoubted without the prosecution doing their damndest to call a mistrial so they can avoid double jeopardy? Difficult to swallow, difficult to believe. There are a lot more factors in play in the real world than a single person being able to so easily route and fight the entire galaxy of law enforcement with 'help' - the more people involved, the easier it is for the police to connect the dots.
  13. Yes. I mean, who ever gives security guards guns? A pistol? Hah. A shotgun? Never. Never in modern times is a security guard ever armed. Only military security carry guns, obviously. What sort of company would ever give a security guard a weapon? Totally unrealistic. At no point ever is a security guard ever allowed a firearm. And they certainly don't pay bonuses to guards with carry permits. And yes, security guards are totally disowned by the government. Any schmuck can just be one, and they have no power. All security guards are unarmed, and it's impossible for them to be armed. You have to defend nukes with a nightstick. Similarly, detectives carrying pistols? Never. No detective has ever carried a gun, certainly not in the last century. Not at all.
  14. Sounds incredibly snowflakey. Like, not even the good kind. Clever enough to evade an entire sector's police force? Given that even our current police have the capability and technology to crack down on people who do really subtle shit, I highly doubt Alliance police will just go 'hurr' to a deranged criminal running around attacking anyone connected to her brother, and it wouldn't take a super genius to find the connection between the murders. The random evidence going missing plus the connection between Rose and her brother also wouldn't be ignored. Plus, why would she go to such obscene lengths for someone she never met ever? Totally destroying her life and pissing off not only the police (because they wouldn't be the only ones involved) but the space FBI? Snowflake as fuk.
  15. Let me explain to you exactly why you are wrong, and why you have failed completely in your duties as a security officer. Evidently you have no idea as to how police procedures or criminal investigations work. You discover a murder scene, and someone standing over a corpse. Irregardless of anything beyond this point, this person is a person of interest. And, because of the lack of information at the start of an investigation, a potential murder suspect. You do not just let them run off without at the very least taking a statement. Okay? Okay. Moving on. There is more to security than brigging people on station. Those you arrest for crimes like murder are tried by a jury of their peers, and in that trial, evidence must be presented. What evidence did you find, exactly? The body looked like one (a non-crewmember, not murder) Charlie Dove presumably had killed before? The modus operandi was similar, and Charlie Dove was last seen with the victim, as told to you by the AI. Or was she? An officer told you all he saw Charlie escort the victim totally fine out of surgery and into medical. So let's see what you've got so far. You have the suspect testimony of the AI and a similar MO. Can you say circumstantial evidence? All this means is that Charlie is a suspect as much as Talia, but it is not enough to charge, it is not enough to run through a trial, and the defense attorney would probably thank you for giving them all the tools for an easy acquittal. Instead of investigating the murder, what you in essence did was use shaky grounds and circumstantial evidence to place charges on someone you arrested illegally prior without actually looking into it at all. You could have done so many things. Cross-reference the time you had Dove in custody with the time of death of both bodies to eliminate her as a suspect. The body still had a mask on, check it for prints. You didn't even question Talia, you just let her go and completely violated basically every investigation procedure in the book while doing so. So, not only have you utterly failed in performing your duties, you also arrested Charlie Dove for no reason. Let me expound upon that: You found an unrecognizable dead body in a body bag in maintenance. You questioned Charlie Dove and asked if she had genetics access, and if she made the protohuman. When she said yes to both, you placed her in the permabrig pending investigation. No. No. No. Murder is not an applicable charge when you cause the death of a protohuman. The only thing you could have even charged her with was neglect of duty for leaving a dead body lying out in the open. But you permabrigged her for no reason. You had no evidence she was connected to that protohuman. All you knew is she had access to genetics and created it. That is not even enough evidence to perform an arrest. So in your time as a security officer, you've arrested Dove for trumped up charges twice and failed to even investigate a crime scene properly. You do not even have the authority to hold someone without placing a charge. While in reality, the police can hold you for up to 48 hours without you being charged, in station that is more equivalent to about ten or twenty minutes, maybe. So in essence, we have what I consider to be extremely poor security play by you, and also a high level of metagame which resulted in Dove being arrested on trumped up charges with very little investigation by you and the rest of the security team. As a career security player and someone who wants to have a future in criminal justice, I have to say that I am appalled by this entire situation and at the very least I feel it warrants a security ban until you learn how to properly behave in the role.
  16. Because people don't care about that. Historically speaking, people didn't give a shit if you were a learned minority. You were a minority, and that's all they cared about.
  17. Not naturally subservient. Not primitive by the base meaning of the term. Not found by NanoTrasen. After the fact. NanoTrasen along with most humans in general were barred from Adhomai by the ruling government. Nothing to do with the company at all. Revolution against their oppressive controlling /government/. NanoTrasen /aided/ in funding this rebellion due to their interests on Adhomai. Anti-humanists and anti-transtellars are considered extremists. NanoTrasen thinks on the matter, and decides that some handful of qualified, resourceful, independent, and passionate Tajaran employees are ready for /trial/ runs as /less important/ (not HoP, Captain, RD) heads on their stupid dumbass research facility. Don't twist my lore to support your baseless claims.
  18. Yes, security armor provides resistance to tasers. You either missed or your information is wrong; even with armor, 3 taser shots drops an officer. There is no way he should have survived that short of being hopped up on painkillers.
  19. Officer w/hat Warden Hoss Warden jacket, Hoss jacket YAY OR NAY?
  20. *eagerly awaits criticisms about being shot at too much*
  21. sims 2 is better. you can have ~~~tajaran~~~ rly though: Ana Issek; black, bob-length hair, kind of like 1920s flapper or something. There's a pack for that, I think. I have it. Scool if you don't. Give her any sort of short vintage hairdo. Green eyes. If there are kitty ear headbands, give it to her. Law enforcement career track, detective or officer. Wears uniform or casual clothes like slacks and sweater. Loner, Brave, Cat Person, Grumpy, Hot-Headed, Workaholic.
  22. 12:32 AM, Issek residence. Neighbor in Apartment 3A complains about uproarious laughter. In Ana's mind: "Shouldn't have gotten with Adams then, dumbass." Closes tab, continues browsing for more stupid people.
