rrrrrr

I used to see it happen a ton back when I played almost every week. If it isn't a recurring issue, I still think it should be changed because why would you still be in range of the station's comms when you're in your hidden lair?

good idea. bump

could an admin move this to suggestions. tia

merc rounds (in my experience) devolve into "the mercs leave and then taunt the station for an hour and a half" it is dumb and it is boring

dunno you but everyone seems sad and you seem like a chill guy... will be missed bro. hopin your replacement is as good or even better.

btw - some info on catholic thought regarding artificial intelligence; st. thomas aquinas's mentor, st. albert, allegedly made an automaton out of metal that was capable of speech. st. tommy responded by burning it. just some food for thought re: why the sons of cain might have split. if they are gnostic, they might have almost definitely had huge issues with the creation of new, intelligent life capable of suffering.

it looks good. see 0 reason to not have these sprites. "nothing else is at this perspective" is a weirdo argument considering ss13 as a whole has really inconsistent sprites. 1+++

gonna throw in my two cents here because I study religion at university - depending on if the Sons of Cain are Christian, they could be Gnostic... tertullian mentions a sect of heterodox Christians who glorified Cain as the first dude to get owned by Satan (keepin it simple) if they're non-Christian Sons of Cain be a very edgy name... but reality is edgy sometimes so it doesn't seem super crazy

seems to me like that form was not intended to be copy-pasted. you can still read it though

[b]Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about:[/b] not sure why you expect me to do a paragraph because these are not hard questions. roleplay is just acting but more fun for those involved because there is no script. ideally "roleplayers" have some level of competence in writing and portraying a character. i think i am an alright "roleplayer" [b]What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?:[/b] this question is poorly worded but i'll try my best. the OOC purpose is to basically make sure the department you're heading doesn't get completely out of control and make sure it's conducive to a fun and interesting story for everyone involved.

my 2 cents as a vet of the neo-troubles: the new map sucks donkey dick

I sincerely don't know how anything I've written in this thread could upset anyone. It could potentially be that it's somewhat self-aware of the silly (on my part) reason my 7 day vacation was extended to a permanent relocation. If that is the case, I apologize. My intent was never to upset. In fact, quite the obvious: it was to amuse. My take away is that ban appeals are serious business. Please unban me.

I also want to request a Discord unban. I'm banned from there, and I can't remember why, probably because I was sleep deprived.

BYOND Key: BotanistPower Total Ban Length: Until the end of time! Banning staff member's Key: It is uncertain at this hour. Reason of Ban: Having two "stealth" nuke ops arrested. Also, there was something involving "kois." I have no idea what a koi is, and I hope I never do, because they're allegedly one of the most dangerous things in the known universe. The ban (for seven days at first) was extended to being until appeal (i.e, permanent) after my original ban appeal was made, which referenced serfs. I fully fess up to the fact that I was on meth (in a sense) when I wrote that. I hope and pray, in my heart of hearts, that the title of this thread does not warrant an immediate denial. It is a joke. Reason for Appeal: The original ban would have expired many times over at this point. I'm not going to call the extension into question, but I will state that I will never again post in my own thread over ten times while referring to myself as a "serf," "pilgrime," and "knave." Take pity on me. All I want is to play some SS13. Owing to the circumstances, I sincerely hope I don't have to add all the exact details. It's been several months. BIG EDIT FOR A BIG BOY: Checked around. Been banned since March the 13th.

you got it boss

Please note: this thread has no relation to my current ban appeal. It is totally unrelated, and to think otherwise would be to act in bad faith. After all, if I didn't sincerely regret what I did to get banned (something that I can't even remember), why would I appeal the ban?

come one come all to my forum thread. what lies within such a thread, you may ask? fun times, of course, fun times and repentance, and the healing of old wounds

ganking is what happens when you bite off more than you can chew, get owned, and bitch about it

BYOND Key: BotanistPOwer Total Ban Length: Presumably permanent, was not specified Banning staff member's Key: I already forgot their name but they were doing it for Garnascus Reason of Ban: My ban appeal was not serious. This necessitated upgrading the week ban to a several decades ban Reason for Appeal: What I did was wrong I understand this now Good? Good Everyone should have a sense of humor Really, don't you think? WHAT I DID WRONG by BotanistPower i talked RUDELY to a brave volunteer moderator. this was my first crime. my 2nd was "metagaming" which is against the rules. my 3rd was the very specific krime of messing around with "koi's." this is wrong.

personally with the way IPC characters usually are i would definitely have an issue with a TV-headed dweeb named "THROATFUCKER 9000" or "anime lover" giving me orders, especially if they're doing the riotous gimmick of talking in a wacky and ever so hilarious manner. YEAH MAN. talking like a homestuck character WILL gain EVERYONES respect,

security should stop trying to do their job and let me win. frankly i feel like security should be replaced with a private security force that people have to use IC credits to pay to catch criminals.

ss13 isnt lifeweb i am sorry haha just thought you should know that,

Hmm. Read over this carefully. Wary about the fact that the character is a former assassin. Approved.

Approved

I am the IPC head. This thread does not paint a pretty picture. I am going to let Roderick post before passing judgement. Actually, scratch that, I'll pass judgement right now: this looks like shit. Imagine, for a brief moment, the amount of shit an elephant can leave on the ground in a single week - tons. Tons of pachyderm feces, all arranged in a neat pile. Now imagine if you were to dive head first into this, excuse me, gigantic pile of shit. Now imagine that the pile of elephant shit is on fire. Basically, Roderick, this is what I think you did.
