  1. clean with a mix of hot water and dish soap, ratio isn't super important, and then sanitize with 10-15% bleach and then let it dry. Remove the animals before you do this. Remove and then discard the bedding, wipe out any leftover substrate, and then go over it once more with soap and warm water. Scrub every single interior of the enclosure and then rinse with just water. Let dry, replace the bedding with fresh ones, and you should be fine. I didn't read the rest but it was probably fine big +1 love the formatting
  2. This suggestion but extended to include species whitelists. To keep it concise, species lore, more than anything else on the server, is constantly changing, a year is more than enough time for drastic changes to occur to a species' lore, be it the retconning of past lore, or the addition of new content. By necessitating a re-application from players that haven't engaged with the server or its community for a year or longer, we can avoid players jumping back into the server at random, and rolling with outdated lore.
  3. I think the example sprites here are very, very well done. Not sure what else would be required of a spriter. +1
  4. No complaints nor comments from me, I've had many experiences with this player, and can say with confidence that they'll play an excellent Skrell if given the chance. +1
  5. That about wraps everything up, truthfully. Your continued attempts at clearing the air and clarifying the specifics of the situation are very, very much appreciated. I had assumed, when writing this complaint, that there was misconduct from lore staff based on the perspective of events I had formed from the information I knew at the time. The information that has since been provided proves that there was, in fact, no misconduct from either of those mentioned. Only an unfortunate series of miscommunications. Am I still frustrated by what happened? Yes, but to a significantly lesser degree. With all that being said, I'm thankful for the closure and clarification after all this time, and would like to request this thread be locked/archived, thanks.
  6. Apologies for any confusion caused by the wording of my complaint. It's hard to put the reasoning behind my having made this post to words without coming off as salty over the choice made. To clarify, I'm not contesting the decision, I'm expressing discontent with the handling of my applications, and the reasons (or lack thereof) cited for their denial. As proposed towards the end of your response, I feel as if I was kept unfairly at least from the deputy slot, a position that would have permitted me to put a lot more writing to the wiki, an issue that was cited as one of the main reasons for the denial of my developer application. I'm still somewhat confused as to why my deputy application was closed at all, considering that loremaster/IPC writer applications had yet to open as of when I was informed that nobody would be brought onto the skrell team, and they wouldn't be opened until days before the conclusion of my three month wait. I'm something of a broken record here. This is all well and good, but it still begs the question of why that initial deputy application was closed in the first place, and why there wasn't more transparency from those involved? From what I know as I'm writing this, my deputy application was closed for "behind the scenes stuff", the specifics of which I'm still completely unaware of. I said no because I was burnt out on the waiting game/feedback collection song and dance after two applications, and an arbitrary wait period brought on over a communication error. The complaint isn't intended to contest the decision made, it's intended to voice my frustrations with how the applications were handled.
  7. The "goal" here is to air my grievances. I don't want anybody banned, or something like that, I just want to voice my discontent with some aspects of the application process, and the lack of transparency from lore staff. I don't expect anything to happen, I had a complaint about the way my applications were handled, and I wanted it to be heard.
  8. In the case of expanding upon the Marauders, I was given a wiki sandbox link, something I didn't have the permissions to edit. As per your request, I offered some feedback on it, I won't claim it was massively expansive feedback, but it was, as was requested, feedback. More significant feedback was given for what was written at the time of the rework for Qerr'Malic, though given I was busy with IRL things at the time, and was already a tad frustrated with the lack of updates on the timeframe for my deputy application, feedback and ideas were my only contributions. Save for the lack of updates in regards to what I'd written that was already complete, I think the biggest issue regarding what was written/suggested in DMs was a difference in expectations between the two of us that went uncommunicated until it was too late. I'm partially to blame here as well, though my largest gripe with how the situation as a whole was handled remains the lack of communication between lore team members on re-opening deputy slots, and the lack of transparency regarding why they were ever closed in the first place.
  9. BYOND Key: MccRrib Staff BYOND Key: Caelphon/Mofo1995 Game ID: N/A Reason for complaint: I'd like to say as a preface that this complaint isn't intended to contest the lore team's choice of developer, Styx is a talented writer, and I think they'll do a great job with skrell lore. That being said, I'm more than a little dissatisfied with the reasons provided for my denial, and with the conduct of our two loremasters in regards to both of my lore team applications. I'm going to start by addressing my deputy application from February of this year. During the months leading up to the unexplained closing of the deputy slot, I wrote and workshopped several pieces of lore, not just when requested for my app but also in DMs with Cael. One particular piece I was told would be sent for review to the human lore team following some editing and review from Cael and the rest of the skrell team at the time. (1) I received no updates from Cael regarding it and a later conversation with a member of the human lore team informed me that, from what they remembered, it was never shown to the human team. As far as I know, that piece, along with the others I wrote, never left our DMs. Following the closing of my deputy application over unexplained "behind the scenes stuff," I was told to wait three months before having another go at the slot. (2) Those three months came and went without a word of elaboration from Mofo or Cael, and in contrast to what I was told in DMs, the slot was never re-opened and that chance to have another go at applying for skrell deputy never came. I was offered no further information on the subject until earlier this month, a whopping seven months after my initial deputy application, when I was contacted by Mofo with the following. (4) Understanding of how two writers working in conjunction managed to go three months without clearing up what was a simple communication error is beyond me. However, frustration remains within reach given that a major reason for my denial, as cited by both Cael and Mofo, was a lack of lore written and put to the forums. I can't help but wonder whether or not a lack of lore written would have been such a big issue had what I wrote left my DMs with Cael at any point or if my prior attempts at seeking a lore writing position hadn't been stymied over a communications error. I feel as if my application(s) were egregiously mishandled, and that the conduct of both parties warrants investigation. Evidence/logs/etc: (1): (2): (3): (4): Additional remarks: N/A
  10. This is an acknowledgement that I've seen this, I'm going to take a bit of time to think on it, and get back to you. It shouldn't be too long of a wait.
  11. Honestly I don't think there's a concrete method of changing this reputation other than being the outlier, and maintaining consistent activity. I can't say with certainty that I won't be pulled away on occasion by whatever's in store for the future, but I can say that I'll do my best to engage with the community wherever possible, and remain consistently active. To put it quite frankly, I don't plan on going anywhere.
  12. Truth be told I'm not terribly fond of article writing, --putting them together feels a tad dull to me,-- but I understand that it's difficult to advance the narrative of an arc without them, and can see myself putting them out as needed without trouble.
  13. I've been on the server for quite some time, I'm one of, if not the most active Skrell players in the community, and as you acknowledge in the introduction of your prior post, I'm very passionate about the lore. I think the biggest issue I'll encounter going forward if I'm given the position is satisfying my own standards. I'm aware this reads like something of a cop-out answer, but given the turbulent history of Skrell lore on Aurora, and the many changes it has been through, I plan on being very, very careful with the changes that I make. An unfortunate consequence going over every addition you make with a fine-tooth comb is that it becomes notably harder to meet the standards you set for yourself, or at least it does for me. I've no intent to delay anything to an unreasonable degree, but delays are a possibility when you're trying to ensure that your lore is well-composed, and well-received by your community.
