You're making a hyperbole. It's unbecoming. Brig sentences are perhaps five, ten, or fifteen minutes or most. All you have to do is go watch youtube or something. This would never be used, because of reasons already stated - prisoners in for upwards of 30 minutes have done bad shit and no sane law enforcement officer is going to cut them loose, and people below that, by the time it's all set up, would have their sentences nearly finished, and then undoing it all to release them would eat up the rest of the time. Maybe we should put back in the gameboard or something.

I'm sorry, even after LetzShake's very good pointers, your backstory is still incredibly lacking - too edgy, and just doesn't fit with the lore. I'm not confident in your ability to roleplay Tajaran well. Denied.

Being brigged is a punishment, it's not supposed to be fun. Dying isn't fun. Being valid'd by the antag isn't fun. Not having your favorite slot open isn't fun. Get over it. As a heavy roleplay server, you need to come to terms with the fact believability and actual roleplay take precedence over the mindless shit that happens on /tg/ or goon. This isn't that kind of server. If you don't want to get arrested and put in the brig, don't break the law and shit on security. We're more than willing to be lenient when you don't kick up a hissy fit and start screaming IC/in LOOC about how this isn't fair. Everyone is entitled. That's why people get brigged. They shout, scream, yell at officers - it's tiresome, all because they had to claw/punch/crowbar someone who called them a name. There is no game out there that does not have repercussions for actions, and there is no game out there that doesn't have 'unfun' moments. It's part of it. This is a game, and when you break the game's rules, you get punished. A + B = C. Maybe you could try being nice to officers. Maybe for once I could walk up to someone who isn't an edgy catbeast or a Medbay lesbian who fights me all the way to the brig, tries to disarm spam me into submission - yes, this has happened plenty - and have them explain to me why they did what they did for their meaningless tiny crime, and I can let them off with a warning. That happened maybe twice in the two years I've been playing this game.

Because there's literally nothing wrong with the current system. Stop being salty you get permabrigged for murdering people.

This is monumentally stupid. There's two kinds of people who ever get in trouble with security. There's your first time offender, and while I can't speak for other security officers, I usually let people go for low level crimes with a warning if they aren't colossal fucks to Ana or repeat offenders. Making a prisoner clean up their own vandalism is obvious and should be done already. The other kind of person who gets brigged is the shitler. These are people who do serious, violent crimes and then harass security constantly or shout and scream IC or OOC - these can be regular players or balds. Allowing these people out into the station is not a thing we should do until their sentences are over. Arts and crafts can be done in the communal brig. People can visit the communal brig. But if you're going to be a massive cock to security in character, why do you expect them to sit down and visit you? I am entirely against outrageous, low-rp notions of 'forced test subjects' or anything of the sort. What you people fail to realize is certain crimes like assault are crimes under the Sol Alliance and Biesel law, and can carry sentences upwards of seven years. Murder. Rape. Drug peddling. These are all federal crimes. Security shouldn't be letting these people off scott-free. Put more things in the communal brig for people to do. Christ.

Because. This is a heavy roleplay server. It has to make sense. And it doesn't run Biesel yet, does it? So no. NT law is not Biesel law.

No. Security does not have the authority to force people into basically indentured servitude. All they have authority to do is hold people until the actual police take custody. Stop breaking the law, don't get arrested?????? It's punishment. It's not supposed to be fun.

I r8 8/8 b8 m8. No.

Approved.

Approverated.

Welcome to light roleplay. Your mistake is ever allowing OOC to influence IC. If I let a traitor go, it's because I don't have evidence to hold them. Don't let people go because you OOCly know they're antags. Guess what? That's metagaming. Any gamemode with an antag has always been crap. In the malf round, I would have questioned you too - we're not obligated to 'play along'. If you say Central told you something of critical importance, then I'm going to investigate. Come up with a better idea next time, or plan for these events in the future; In short - stop letting OOC influence IC. Take it as it happens, and don't give people chances. People are awful. This is a light roleplay server. Just play IC like you would play IC. If your character would only shoot someone once, then do it. If they wouldn't, don't.

Hey. Hey guys. Hey. Blood smells. It smells like blood. Ergo - slitting your wrists open to smear your life-giving vitae across the floor in a closed-circuit air system makes smells.

hardsuits don't protect against flashbangs Wear a hardsuit helmet. Now you're immune to flashbangs, and if you get caught close to one (3 tiles), it's like a two tick stun. Let's stop trying to emulate Bay and nerf security's equipment to gargle antag cock.

Approved.

Ana's aggressive because she doesn't have three million dicks stuffed in her furry holes. Unlike 99% of other Tajaran.

I realize you're very sore about your self-antagging getting cut short by security having half of a brain but I think you should look up what you're talking about before you speak. Hardsuits entirely negate the effects of flashbangs outside of a three tile radius - just the helmet, in fact. And if you get stunned within those three tiles, you're down for about a second or two. Ergo, unless you walk right up next to it or get hit by a cooked grenade you have more than enough time to escape the blast. Similarly, even security sunglasses don't protect against flashbangs. I have been stunned by being too close - you don't drop, but you are frozen and cannot do anything. Outside of a certain radius sunglasses negate the effects - half of the normal range, I'm pretty sure. They don't need to be balanced. They are fine as they are. Blinding people in this game is completely and utterly useless. It does nothing. Whoo three seconds of whiteness does literally shit. Flashbangs are designed not to just blind you, they disorient you. Deafness and blindness literally do nothing. Antags will not care about the fact they are deaf. No one will ever care about RPing the effects of anything. Here is how you beat flashbangs: wear glasses, walk away. If security is smart enough to cook a grenade and actually land it, you got outclassed, bud. Whoops. Oh well.

Put sunglasses on. Marvel as flashbangs do just about nothing to you. w0w so op...............

Ana Issek: A solid 7.

Approved hooray.

No.

Remove the restrictions. Don't be surprised if male cats with female hairstyles are ridiculed and made fun of. IC issue.

I cannot believe you all are just letting this slide. Aurora is supposed to be a heavy roleplaying server; I fail to grasp how behavior like this is acceptable. Need I remind you that newer players have been banned or penalized for similar 'lel its round end lemme do something stupid' behavior, like the ERT agent who C4'd the admin armory just before the round ended so he could check it out. The fact of the matter is that you need and should remain IC until the next round begins. Literally, are you incapable of maintaining character for like three minutes while the game winds down? Plus, this isn't the first instance of Alberyk chucklefucking; nor is it the first time he's skirted the rules. I can specifically remember a round in the last week or so - I can't check, as I'm at college - where he brought M'rychny Lyar to maintenance and beheaded him in the last few moments of the round because he wanted to. Because he was the antagonist. It's not about whitelisted players behind held to higher standards. It's about the fucking quality level of roleplay you want on this server. Signature is relevant. We're heavy roleplay. We're not goon. If you want to feed people brains and cut their butts off go there.

I'm willing to give you a chance, but your whitelist will be probationary. Ergo, any complaints and it could very well be revoked. Approved.

Approved.

Did you literally not just say you are a new player, which constitutes the fact you have zero idea what is even going on on the server right now? I did not say Tajaran are blameless. I said that it's a cycle of toxicity because the players piss them off and then they piss of the players. Can't just cut one end and expect the other to remedy itself.
