SynysterSparx

Just posting here to confirm I'm the same person.

BYOND key: SynysterSparx (new) / SHSPlyr03 (old) Discord name/id: SynysterSparx#9920 Borg / AI names: I have done random names in the past to give the impression of a stock AI that's just filling in, but if I get the whitelist I would settle into more of a known personality with a chosen name. Have you read the Aurora wiki page about the AI?: Yes Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: Mostly so that being an AI is still an option for me. I liked having the option before because it's a fun role to play. There are a lot of things to balance and keep track of, there is a lot going on since AI can see so much more of chat than normal, and it's fun to play a character with less emotion and more rigidity than would be expected from the organic life forms. If you want people that are hardcore dedicated to playing AI at every opportunity then I guess I won't make the list. But I have played it in the past and had a good time doing it and think the crew had a good time as well, so I would like it to still be an option for me. I'd also like to continue to explore the possibilities of the role, as reading some of the other applications have expanded my understanding of what can be done with it. Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? I think I received one for leaving a round at the start, but it was a year or more ago and I haven't done it since. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes

In my experience, no. It was jarring to me, as others have said. I also agree with it being weird that you can't see someone in your diagonal periphery. It also makes 25% of our screen useless empty space that might as well not be there. I just don't think vision cones lend themselves well to this top-down medium. I only played part of a round with the test merge in, so I may just be knee jerking "change bad," but I just don't see the good outweighing the bad for me.

I like the idea of having less security messing up any antag preparations. Perhaps a middle ground could be granting security access under certain alerts? Blue or red? Although, that would almost necessitate a patrol and any such preparations would be discovered sooner than they might have been..

I know that feel, no worries The next round was! but I had to go after that. I look forward to many more good rounds.

As Zero Reichard the surgeon, I didn't love my first round with you as CMO. You did two surgeries (the only surgeries, before I died) without calling on Reichard at all. Which meant he wasn't able to take advantage of the situation he created as traitor. I'm not going to give a -1 because of it but please keep in mind you're meant to delegate.

I've interacted mostly with Genevieve on a couple of my characters, and she is always providing interesting and engaging RP. Like others have said, she's willing to work with antags rather than killing or incapacitating them on sight, which makes for a more fun round for all. I definitely think Peppermint should be given a chance here, especially as I agree that the lack of Heads at odd hours is a detriment. +1

If you replace the option to be "Station Engineer" with something else, the total amount of options may remain the same, but you have taken away the option to be "Station Engineer."

An engineer is a person who designs, builds, or maintains... There is no reason to remove this title. It means different things to different people, and it is only your opinion that another title is cooler. If you want to add another title, sure. But on a server so focused on role play, it seems detrimental to take away options, especially ones people and their characters may be attached to, for seemingly no reason.
