Love this last edit. What about a dance floor where the tree used to be? lol ALSO: What if you put a potted plant/stage locker here and only had one stair with railings instead of the double stair to nowhere

I like it. One last nitpick from me would be maybe a window or windoor’d table in between the top left two tables in the main area so the bartender can peak out there if they want to.

If privacy is a concern there are wayyyy better spots to go rather than the most trafficked area of the ship

Honestly turning that area into a private lounge may be better and pretty cool

I approved it because I like the central dining area. I disagree that it's more cramped and think it actually utilizes the space better than having everyone in a single hallway. No one uses the back bar lounge in the current map and this remap will see it utilized more. All-in-all I think it ties service together more than the current map does and makes a more central service "department". Don't think the bartender losing space in their backroom is that big of a deal personally but I'm sure they could be given more if needed. EDIT: The tree area is rather large and constricts some hallway movement as well. Maybe shrinking that would be beneficial.

Hey! Some questions: How do you feel Xuqon will handle being in a "xeno" (in this case humans) dominated ship? I know you touched on social customs but how do you think this will impact their ability to fit in with their coworkers? What might be ways for Xuqon to improve their SCS while aboard the Horizon? Normally it stays fairly stagnant while outside the Federation. Would they be interested in looking for those small boosts or are the content with where they are?

Ckey/BYOND Username: RyverStyx Position Being Applied For: Skrell Deputy Lore Developer Have you read the Lore Team Rules and Regulations wiki page?: Yes Past Experiences/Knowledge: Skrell Head Lore Developer & Currently Spriter/Developer Examples of Past Work: I took part in a majority of 2022 Skrell Lore and Sprites (Most known for addition of Tuux and Axiori as a mechanical species) A proposal for a new piece of Skrell lore. It can be about anything, but it must be something that could be reasonably added to the wiki. The proposal must be provided as a google doc with legible formatting. Expanding what it means for Tuux to become "malignant". Right now it is only vaguely alluded to in the lore and has no elaboration on what it actually means. Also expanding some of the more undefined ailments and treatments. (Additions in bold) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xTuN0guQnUmacs54vIntldVpp1P6y-5ESIC9Tw6FTWY/edit?usp=sharing Why you want to join the team and how you plan to spend your time as a Skrell deputy outside of assigned projects. I would like to rejoin the team to further the progression of Skrell on the server (see below). Outside of assigned projects I will mainly do sprite work for Skrell while maintaining the wiki. Your thoughts about Skrell lore, both good and bad. You should also mention what you would like to change or expand upon. I feel that some of the older lore has become obsolete. A lot of it is definitely outdated and no longer relevant due to recent changes. I think part of the "bad" of skrell lore is just how confusing this can be to newcomers. The good is that Skrell have great potential in how they will move forward as a species. The newly formed Nralakk Federation opens a lot of potential plots that I would love to see explored. Paired with the Horizon's recent visits to Adhomai I think there is a ton that can be down with actually SHOWING the lore of the Federation, and by extenstion, the Skrell. I would really love to expand upon what it means to be a Skrell in the Spur and how their day-to-day life is impacted by outside forces such as the Federation or even their psionics. A mention of any useful skills you might have (coding, spriting, graphic design, can be anything). Not particularly important for the role so don't worry if you can't put anything down here. Coding: Basic Spriting: Mid-Level (Mainly clothing and character customization items)

I played a round as the XO while Hepatica was the RD. They were extremely competent and I didn't even realize they were a trial! There were multiple issues that were cropping up in round (veil party) and everything that occurred in their department was handled smoothly and swiftly. They are worthy of the whitelist in my eyes. +1

Ckey/BYOND Username: RyverStyx Position Being Applied For: Deputy Have you read the Lore Team Rules and Regulations wiki page?: Yes Past Experiences/Knowledge: Skrell Developer Examples of Past Work: A large part of Skrell lore for the past year. A proposal for a new piece of Skrell lore. It can be about anything, but it must be something that could be reasonably added to the wiki. The proposal must be provided as a google doc with legible formatting: My proposals have been sent to Brotendo and Butter before my resignation as developer. They are not currently added and due to this I would not want to post them here in case they are intended to be used in the future. Why you want to join the team and how you plan to spend your time as a Skrell deputy outside of assigned projects: I enjoy spriting and I find a lot of my projects outside of lore writing involve adding customization and sprites to skrell. Your thoughts about Skrell lore, both good and bad. You should also mention what you would like to change or expand upon: I feel that Skrell lore is in a good place at the moment. I would love to see fashion expanded but of course that’s just personal preference. I would also like to see the Federation itself perform more on a galactic scale. A mention of any useful skills you might have (coding, spriting, graphic design, can be anything). Not particularly important for the role so don't worry if you can't put anything down here: I can sprite, code (beginner), and I can make graphics. Additional Comments: My schedule allows me to pick up the deputy role. I would love to rejoin the team in this capacity.

If I could have picked a direct successor upon my resignation I would have picked Brotendo. He has shown constant attention to the lore and has been extremely consistent; as well as incredibly easy to work with. His output and attention to detail is great and I think Skrell lore would be in good hands with Brotendo. +1

Accepted!

ACCEPTED

At the moment adding a group like this would need a retcon; something the team is not keen on doing. The alternative would be the team reworked the proposal and added them as a new group that just formed (I know you mentioned they are extinct). However, at this time we are not looking to add more existing political or ideological groups to Skrell lore in relation to Glorsh or cybernetics. The existing cybers are similar enough to this group and we believe that it fills the niche needed. At this time we will have to deny this application as it does not align with our current plans for Skrell/Jargon lore. Thank you for your application and don’t let this discourage you from further participation!

Accepted! 🐸

I doubt that another dev would want to “overrule” Wezzy’s change request here. Wildkins did it but they have been the only one that I’ve seen to ever do that to Wezzy. The fact that a simple sprite swap PR has been up for over a week is evidence that the change request is at least hindering it in some way. Matt already asked them to clarify and they never did. Forgive me if I’m being blunt here but it’s quite obvious what’s going on. Just because “technically they can do that so it’s okay” doesn’t mean they should do it; especially since you mentioned yourself that it’s not ideal. I would think that all behavior staff do should be held to the same standard of at least “ideal”. There should be a standard time for a re-review then; otherwise we run into this whole mess. Especially because I’ve tried to talk to Wezzy multiple times, and they’ve been active, to which they’ve ignored. Even if it was requesting further changes at least I’d know what he actually meant by his first request.

I’m aware of how change requests are supposed to work but Wezzy is not using them in good faith. After both Wildkins and Matt asked him to clarify and re-review nothing was done for a long period of time. All that needed done was for him to actually explain what he meant (which multiple people asked repeatedly with no answer). The change request tag is just being used to stonewall the PR. Regarding the copying of the PR. Why would he request changes on Vrow’s PR and then add the whole PR (unchanged) into his own PR? That shows that the change request tag was not genuine as he did not actually require changes. It was used to try and block out Vrow’s PR. Just very odd usage of the tag not being used to genuinely request changes.

BYOND Key: RyverStyx Staff BYOND Key: wowzewow Game ID: N/A Reason for complaint: Utilizing the change request feature on GitHub to stop PRs that they personally do not like and refusing to re-review or offer more input when asked. Also copying an existing PR that he requested changes on into his own while not approving the former change request. Evidence/logs/etc: https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/13990 (Unresolved) https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/13977 (Resolved but same behavior) https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/14041 (PR with copied work from previous mentioned PR) Additional remarks: I’ve tried to contact Wezzy multiple times (Staff Dev Channel, Code Channel in general aurora discord, and on the PR itself) regarding this but have been ignored every time.

We are going to [ACCEPT] your application. Remember that Jargon is always watching 👁️

Hello! Some questions: 1. What is their SCS and how did that effect them in their upbringing? 2. How do humans treat them due to their disability? 3. How do they feel about the Jargon Federation after their "ostracization" for being a listener? 4. How do they feel about Non-Fed Skrell? Thanks!

I will accept this app but do keep in mind that NT isn't part of the current work exchange program! They can still work for NT but it would be from a direct contract and not the program. [ACCEPTED]

Hello! It’s been 5 days since the questions have been asked. Do you still want the application to be open?

Hello! Some questions for you. 1. What is your characters SCS? How has it affected them? 2. Has your character interacted with Gasriders in any capacity while on Qerr’Malic? 3. Why would Zoora sign with NT over Idris? Wouldn’t the exchange program with Idris be more beneficial for them? 4. What would Zoora’s job be on the Horizon? Thanks!
