SoapyCup

Works fine, thank you very much. ❤️ Was the problem indeed from me accidentally joining with a VPN as I assumed?

BYOND Key: SoapyCupTotal Ban Length: PermaBanning staff member's Key: AlberykReason of Ban: Exploding bomb in medbay for no reasonReason for Appeal: I accidentally joined while my VPN was on and it associated my key with another account (it shows soundvandalism). I personally never did anything to be banned, and I'll make sure to not make the same mistake again and join with my VPN on.

With the new journalist roles, there are increased incentives to play journalist. Some players like to write longer stories or editorial pieces, as well as shorter updates on station happenings. The current character limit is extremely insufficient for being able to post a longer story, and thus limits the journalist to either only post short stories, (where they have a reduced capacity to show their personality), or to post the story across multiple posts, which spams notifications to the entire station. It is clear that the character limit should be increased—to at least double what it is now—however I'm open to feedback.

I like this, Having a sort of endurance system could improve RP quite a bit.

I was the one that dealt with the guy that did the painting and will confirm that it was not DaBurs.

I've RP'd with Joy several times, and it's been nothing but good. Bling seems like a responsible person, and I don't see a reason that he shouldn't be able to play HOS.

Cobracoco is a good RPer and has done good things with his IPC and tajaran whitelists. I enjoy playing with him and I don't see any reason he shouldn't have it.

Yes, you probably should. I can approve it after that. Edited

I quite like it actually, but I guess they don't have the slur anymore? But yeah, I wrote the first half a month ago and wrote the bio recently. I can edit my application if you would like me to do that.

BYOND Key:SoapyCup Character Names:Karina Miller, Jessica Brice, Oscar Faust, Brooke Stroble Species you are applying to play:Skrell What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt):Light Blue Have you read our lore section's page on this species?:Yes Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race: I wish to play as a Skrell character because of the RP opportunities and the lack of skrell on the station. I plan to make my character part of the Dienabi religion, which worships dionea, a race that is usually neglected. The difference between how skrell and humans form their sentences will be fun to play with, and I will enjoy how they treat the other races like small children. Skrell are some of the most reliable and trusted workers for NT, so there should be more of them on-board the Aurora. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Well, they have their own language. Skrell lack teeth and gums, which means they prefer soft foods, and they can't digest meat well. They speak in short concise sentences, rather than the drawn out expressions humans use. They have large heads with giant tentacles, so they need special hardsuit helmets, and tend to opt out of wearing hats. Skrell are amphibious, so of course they can breathe underwater and have webbing in between their fingers. Skrell are typically shorter then humans, pretty much look like frogs. The most important differences are mental though, Skrell are logical, not impulsive. They won't fight a fight they can't win and tend to accept death rather than flee. They also will live hundreds of years more than humans, letting them learn much, much more than a measly human ever would. Character Name:Jardine Quar-Tup Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Jardine Quar-Tup was born on Jargov IV into a low-class family. Jardine's father was a Dienabi minister, leading to the family being disliked, and looked down upon. Jardine was bullied in school leading to him becoming more shy and more afraid of violence then your normal skrell. He resorted to studying ancient texts in solitude to satisfy his deeply held religious beliefs. He was able to earn the approval of his family, giving him only slight confidence, but strengthening his beliefs. He studied Dienabi in the skrell form of college, passing as an atheist. He did well in his formal education, earning high grades. After his formal education, he looked for a job as a Dienabi minister. Not being able to find one in the religion-hating planet he was born in, he moved to a space station called the Odin, funded by his parents. There he found comfort in the mostly religious humans, and the increase in Dionea fueled his passion for his religion even more. The chaplain position on the Odin already being filled, he looked into the Aurora, a research station. He was able to find a job as a Dienabi chaplain on the Aurora, validating his beliefs to himself and his parents. He still works on the Aurora, spreading the love to all of the Dionea. What do you like about this character? I admire how he was able to stay strong when nearly everyone around him disapproved and was able to find success. How would you rate your role-playing ability?8/10 Notes:Hopefully this will re-light the fire in this game for me, and I'll be on more.

I know cobracoco, and I believe he would make a very good mod. He has my full support.

Although having a slightly notorious past, he seems to have calmed down and I think he would be a good moderator. He has my support.

This idea is great. Albeit great, there are a ton of problems. Sure, you can RP being poor and complain how you can't afford a good TV back in your apartment. But, it means nothing, and has no game mechanics. You still start with the same(ish) amount of credits as everyone else and they're basically never used. Having it mean something would open up so many new opportunities. I have a problem with the persistence part of it though. Being able to start at a rich/middle/poor level is good, but it pretty much forces everything to be canon, especially if the player can't edit the amount of money his/her character has for the next round. The biggest problem I can see lies in what happens when you're not on station. The suggest random expense thingie would be a start, but what if John Smith went to space Vegas and blew all his money, or won the lottery and came into a bunch of money. The way it's currently suggested forces the player to keep their character basically the same level of wealth, and I suggest the player can change how much money their character has in between rounds. Of course, powergaming. All the baldies would be billionaires, which would be a problem, and we can't really have a 'don't make all your characters rich' rule. It would probably end up in the same way that 90% of characters are fit and robust, which probably isn't the average. Although that is that, it's not really an issue, and the everyone is a bit wealthy problem would probably settle into the same way. People who want to be different than the rest and RP something different, have that opportunity, so it would be an improvement. Summed up, I think this would be best implemented with no, or at least minimal persistence,

Alright, well, I don't see any reason for you to still be banned. You should be unbanned shortly.

Well, leaving out of fear isn't the correct response when you do something like that, but it doesn't warrant a ban. More than a few people have clicked that button wonder what it does, including me. The correct response would have been to ahelp, letting us know that you had no idea what it did, and that you didn't mean to blow up half the station. My one question is why you typed something along the lines of "Have fun dealing with that" in OOC. That's mainly what lead me to believe you were just another griefer.

This would be a really neat thing to have. It adds to the character quite a bit, I don't see a reason for him not to have it.

BYOND Key: SoapyCup Character name: Emile Weres Item name: Fountain Pen Why is your character carrying said item to work? Emile is sort of a classic style guy. He wears an old man suit, and smokes a pipe. So, of course, he can't use a normal peasant ballpoint pen. He needs the classic style. Sure, it's a pain to clean, refill, and you get ink all over yourself way too easily, but it's his style and says a lot about him. He bought it when he got his first job, filling out paperwork all day, and it has lasted. Item function(s): Capped, it does nothing. If you try to write with it it gives the message "You have to uncap the pen to use it." You click it in your hand to uncap it, the sprite changes. You get a message "You have uncapped the pen." and you can write with it. Uncapped, it functions exactly like a normal pen, black ink. You click it again to cap it. Item description: This is a standard looking fountain pen. It is (un)capped. Item appearance: http://puu.sh/khXL9/3c99ea874a.jpg Something like that when uncapped. Additional comments: It probably shouldn't be able to fit into a PDA.

Cobracoco is a good player. He is good at RPing and knows medical well. I don't see any reason he shouldn't be CMO, yes from me.

I've seen him play his AI several times, and have seen only good. With A.I. he's already at least slightly experienced with having power and making critical decisions, only with a head he's not lawed, and I think he can handle the RP well. He has my support.

I don't see any wrongdoing by Tish. He was simply making sure that a possibly new player wasn't getting false information. Frances easily could have just the player in LOOC if he/she knew that Frances was joking. Frances just caused a long, unneeded argument.

I've seen a lot of RP from him, and he's is pretty good. I don't see any reason we shouldn't let him play tajaran.

I say remove it considering I've never seen it used well and the holodeck's location.

It should be raised to 2 janitors just because so many of them go SSD. Although I don't think putting more space cleaner around the place would be a good idea though because then no one would need the janitor.

What I've seen of him RPing has been good, and I think he would be pretty good with an IPC. +1

BYOND Key:SoapyCup Character Names:Oscar Faust, Karina Miller Species you are applying to play:Dionaea What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Have you read our lore section's page on this species?:Yes Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race:I want to play Dionaea because some of the best rp I have seen has been from these characters. I want to try to go out of my comfort zone a bit and try something new. I think I could really make a memorable character with what I have in mind. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:Dionaea are influenced by what they were around as a nymph. They can have no understanding, understand something completely, be immature, or be mature. This gives the player freedom when creating a character. With humans, there is a sort of, standard, when creating a character. Every human has at least a basic understanding of human culture, manners, and related things. Yet Dionaea are influenced by what they were around, opening up a lot of possibilities. Character Name:Tired Laughs of a Day Gone Past Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphsTired Laughs of a Day Gone Past spent it's nymph stage lurking inside of a cupboard inside of the back room at a daycare, getting the blood from children that wondered alone. It went undiscovered until it became curious enough to leave the back room. It was discovered and chased off. It ran onto a ship taking off, filled with executives of a big company, getting the final drops of blood it needed to evolve there. The ship went onto a station called the NMSS Odin. Tired Laughs of a Day Gone Past, now in it's adult stage, they disguised themselves among the crew and slowly worked their way up to actually having a job there, being a scientist. They were then transferred to the NSS Aurora. What do you like about this character?I enjoy how they are curious and slightly passive aggressive, but still have a bit of maturity. They have the spirit of a kid, yet can conduct themselves in a manner that won't stand out too much. How would you rate your role-playing ability?8/10 most of the time Notes:
