GeneralCamo

I have played with their bay dionaea. While the lore isn't exactly the same here, the play they showed there makes me want to go ahead and give this application a +1.

BYOND key: generalcamo Discord Username: GeneralCamo#4928 Character names: Comoe Oulai-Tape, Warden Abdul ibn Turkiel, Bridge Officer A few other minor characters I rarely play How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Approximately two years Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? I received a warning once for picking a language I was not supposed to during an event. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: OOC, Head of Staff are expected to bring their experience with roleplaying into the community, and contribute positively to the community's growth. To this end, they are expected to show good judgement, and provide opportunities to characters to develop in the community. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Primarily to provide an example to the community on roleplaying, and hopefully provide an incentive to stay with the server and perhaps even apply to a whitelist on their own. Assisting and interacting with other players is the primary thing to do here, along with upholding the rules of the server and the standard procedures of the ship itself. Explain how the recent events in the Spur changed your character and how they came to be employed on the SCCV Horizon. For Comoe Oulai-Tape, their position as an Idris Detainee Retention Specialist on Eridani, a core world of the Alliance, has meant they did not feel the effects of the Phoron shortage as keenly as other characters would have. Their position aboard the Horizon came about as a result of good performance and relevant experience, and Idris preferring to send their best to represent themselves to the greater SCC on their flagship. As for Abdul, they served as a Legionary aboard a TCFL vessel. Their family historically has served in a military capacity, formerly for the Sol Government and now for the Republic of Biesel's Legion. The King of the World event, alongside the annexation of the CRZ and the resulting chaos they witnessed, convinced them not to renew their commission to the TCFL. Feeling that the SCC's goal of resolving the Phoron shortage and exploring the frontiers was more gainful than the TCFL, they took their experience and joined the recently-launched SCCV Horizon, on its search for Phoron. During this time, they have distinguished themselves in the VR simulation (Where they unfortunately lost their digital life to a stray round hitting the bridge), dealing with a potential Elyran diplomatic incident (in which he was commended specifically for this event), and in action against Pirates near S'rand'marr (where a fellow bridge crewmember lost their life next to him, and their Captain fell to a stray round). What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? For Comoe Oulai-Tape, I plan to promote them to head of security. For Abdul ibn Turkiel, I plan to go with Executive Officer with the possibility to later go with Captain depending on how they develop. Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yes Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.: Comoe Oulai-Tape: HoS Abdul ibn Turkiel: XO, CO Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes Have you linked your byond account to the forums? Yes Extra notes: My schedule is in flux lately, but I should be more available now to play.

I have personally used the PEAC to deal with a mech, and it took every round available to take it down. It was later revealed in that round that the mech in question was made with spare parts and had no armor, and if the actual combat mech was brought out I doubt the PEAC could have dealt with it, even if we actually had ammo.

The point of this primarily was to ensure this doesn't happen again. I believe a PR was merged in the interim to prevent exactly that. Since this was made, I cannot even recall any specifics of this event due to how long ago it was. I was pointed to some lore regarding languages in Elyra by another user, but I can't even recall if I was using that. This can be closed now.

I'm willing to PR this myself to get it implemented, if this has the support of the Human Lore Team. Some feedback though: Romantish covers three entire continents if I am understanding it right, plus most of Europe and Africa. I highly recommend at least splitting the English-speaking countries out, as that is not a Romance language and both languages would still cover a significant portion of the Earth and their population. We have support for a `partial_understanding` flag. I recommend its usage here considering the lore behind some of these mentions that they are partially intelligible. We could also implement special cultural languages by doing this, like Konyanger Sol having more understanding with Frontier than with baseline Sol. We could perhaps add a special Spacer language used by Scarabs and others who have lived in space for generations. This one I am not so sure of.

We've always had stasis beds. They're known as "sleepers" and are placed right next to the body scanners. The addition of seperate stasis beds just seems redundant next to them.

I recall asking what languages I should pick in aooc, and being told "Sol Common", "Basic", and "Elyran" by a co-volunteer. I may be incorrect here. It seemed like an acceptable assumption that we would be engaging in discussion with the Sol Marines directly (though this did not happen admittedly).

BYOND Key: generalcamo Staff BYOND Key: alberyk Game ID: Unknown, I believe the Round before ckZ-apDY Reason for complaint: This complaint was late. This is being made due to, in hindsight, realizing what went wrong. I specifically believe that this incident was due to a lack of information I was given, as a relatively new player to events, and as such I contest the official warning being given due to having no knowledge of the specific bug, and little instruction in what languages I should have picked. I volunteered for Dreary Futures: Episode 3. I was put onto the Elyran team, and given some instructions regarding the general idea of the round. This is all I was given, and when the event started, I had basically a character concept. I asked in AOOC what languages to pick, and one person (I believe Clem) stated "Sol Common, Elyran, and Tau Ceti Basic". This seemed reasonable to me, since we were expected to potentially directly get into conflict with the FSF (which is what happened), and talk with them. The other Elyran volunteer did not mention Sol Common, but I failed to see this and I had no reason to not pick it (based on what I knew of the round, and not knowing the existence of the bug). During the round however, I noticed I had the other ship's comms. Noticing this, I mentioned this in AOOC. I was told it was an "unfixable bug" by dansemacabre, and not given anything else regarding it. My assumption was that event players were expected to deal with the bug, and not metagame. This was my first event, and I had no prior experience with multiple off-ship roles (My experience with off-ship roles up to this point involved only one off-map ship spawning). I ensured to ignore the words in sol common, and not use them to my advantage. When the elyrans eventually boarded the Horizon, I mostly stayed in the hangar. When someone mentioned that the Sol Marines were moving, I moved back inside the shuttle and checked the sensors console. Based in their heading, I noticed that they were moving behind a dust cloud, which was a blind spot for those sensors. I assumed they were attempting to get behind the Horizon for another round of fire, and stated such in my team's radio. At this point, I was admin messaged by alberyk. They asked why I mentioned that they were potentially preparing to attack, and why I had sol common. I unfortunately do not remember exactly what I said, but I was warned in the end for "'During an event, picking the other team's language when they should have not due to ships' sharing comms." Evidence/logs/etc: I unfortunately neglected to take down exact logs for this complaint for this round. I genuinely felt extremely bad after that round. This complaint was made with the benefit of hindsight, but without the foresight of saving logs. Additional remarks: I genuinely feel terrible for failing to have the foresight or confidence to question this directly in AOOC or an a-help after given the note that it was an "unfixable bug" by danse. My point here is to state that I had no prior experience with an event, no prior experience with off-ship roles involving multiple ships in the same map, no prior knowledge of this bug, and no clear indicators on exactly what I was to do. I was operating effectively blindly, and while I was praised for my efforts in the round, it did eventually lead to this unfortunate misunderstanding and event. My purpose of establishing this staff complaint is primarily to ensure this does not happens again, to anyone in a similar situation.

Content-wise this is status quo, just giving a suitable explanation for it that matches what is seen in-game. Currently only Konyang is explicitly stated to be different, and I added ambiguity so that autocanon/future expansion could add additional planets, systems, or associate members that are also different. If this is otherwise desired by the lore team, I have no problems with this honestly. I'm just not in the position to be making those changes.

Lore Impact (Small/Medium/Large): Medium Species: Primarily Human Short Description: This primarily affects the Coalition of Colonies and the Eridani Corporate Federation citizenship guidelines, by updating them to better reflect the current backgrounds behind them. How will this be reflected on-station?: This primarily affects record flexibility, but in the case of Eridani does allow for some roleplay with regards to the possible conditions that an employee that -must- keep their job at any cost can have. Does this addition do anything not achieved by what already exists?: Yes, as this will canonically allow for CoC players to state in their records they have a dual citizenship with the Coalition and their member planet, without adding hundreds of citizenship options. For Eridanian players, this clears up an existing lore inconsistency, and allows reinstated players to have more reasons complain about their conditions. The recent rewrite of the Eridani Corporate Federation states that "Even if a Dreg is born a non-citizen they automatically obtain citizenship in Eridani by simply getting a job with a megacorporation." This rewrite reflects that by adding a new option for Eridani Citizenship. Do you understand that the project may change over time in ways you may not foresee once it is handed over to the Lore Team? Yes Long Description: The rewrite has been split into pages for organization. Check the next pages for the proposed rewrites. The following rewrite is proposed to the Coalition of Colonies guidelines: Coalition of Colonies The Coalition of Colonies, being a highly decentralized confederation, does not have a unified citizenship or visa application in the traditional sense. Rather, citizenship in the Coalition of Colonies itself greatly simplifies applying for citizenship in most of its 357 member systems, along with many of its associate members. It also removes the need for a visa or passport to travel and work throughout most of the Coalition. Citizenship within any of its member planets automatically grants Coalition citizenship, but a separate application is also available with the following requirements: Citizenship An application fee of 100 credits. New citizens must reside in the Coalition of Colonies for at least 2 months out of the year for five years. By Sol Alliance law, must forfeit Sol Alliance citizenship, if existent. Allows any other dual citizenships. While most members will grant their own citizenship to Coalition citizens with what will typically be a mere formality, certain members have stricter guidelines on acquiring a citizenship, such as Konyang. Konyang's citizenship requirements can be read HERE. The following changes are proposed for Eridani Citizenship: Eridani Corporate Federation [...] Citizenship For a standard Citizenship, an application fee of 750,000 credits. You may receive discounts by working in Eridani Federation space, which can potentially reduce this fee to zero after several years of work. A probationary Citizenship is available to those who work for a corporation that is registered within the Eridani Corporate federation, with a cheaper fee of 5,000 credits. This probationary citizenship is conditioned on continued employment with the corporation for at least 10 years, and can be revoked if the applicant is fired, laid off, or otherwise leaves their company. Must sign an Eridani Federation citizenship contract. Allows dual citizenships.

I would argue that it's more fitting for a master's degree, being that it's a technical and practical consideration. A Ph.D holder would be more into experimenting with the most optimal way to run those temperamental engines in a controlled environment, not attempting to fix them in the field. Based on the wiki, the Chief Engineer isn't meant to be doing the experimenting himself, just keep the experimental stuff running. If this were changed so that the CE was allowed to handle research into these fields, and recruit the engineers into running these experiments, that would be different and I would retract this. My point here is that the practical real world expectations for a doctorate in engineering is out of line of what's going on in the game, and how most players play their characters as Chief Engineer.

From the wiki article: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Chief_Engineer The Chief Engineer's job is to organize the engineering department, and sometimes get their hands dirty if no one else can do it. This is basically a glorified office job, which do not get me wrong is important on the Horizon, however the stated requirements that you need a Doctorate in an engineering field is way too high for this position. Someone with a doctorate in engineering field is expected to contribute to research in that field, and indeed already has with a thesis paper. They would be well overqualified for the Chief Engineer position, and should look into a job in Research instead. My proposal here is to reduce the requirements for a Chief Engineer to a Master's Degree, or a Bachelor's Degree with relevant experience. This would fit in line with the requirements for the Head of Security, a similar job with a similar role on the Horizon. I should note that several Chief Engineer players do not play on the Horizon with the "Doctor" title that would be attained to them with a doctorate, which suggests that this is already treated as de facto the policy on the Horizon.

At the time, engineering was requesting we test engines, so we had moved away from the Elyran vessel. Upon hearing this request, I made steps to turn back towards the Elyran vessel to discuss this. I contacted the vessel via hologram, and we were greeted by Ensign Khadisha Al-Tayyeb of the Elyran Military. The Warden at this time asked them questions about the incident (logs attached from recorder). During this time, I discovered the miners were being accused of venting a derelict ship, injuring several of the Elyran taskforce members. After this questioning was done, the Warden attempted to end the conversation, however it was clear to me that the Elyrans were angry about the injury to their crew. I interjected and introduced myself, informing them that while command was not aboard, I would be willing to hear them out. They made it clear that they did not intend for the miners in question to be extradited to Elyra, however they did want replacements for the atmospheric air lost in the vent, along with "PAP" equipment. I took this time to send an emergency message to the SCC regarding this sensitive diplomatic matter, and waiting some time. Seeing the Elyrans were impatient however, and against the objections of the Warden, I accepted the Elyrans' proposal to allow them to dock to negotiate further. They docked without incidents, and I introduced myself and my accompaniment, which was myself, Clark Coldsmith, Le Tedrow, and Lillian Nystrom. I had asked the engineers to accompany me to discuss the reparations as they were the most knowledgable on derelicts. Both discussed the incident with me, and stated that what the Shaft Miners did was improper behavior for a salvage crew. After exchanging greetings, I allowed the Ensign to keep their pistol holstered (as this would be respectful for a commanding officer), but asked the riflemen to not be armed. The Elyrans complied with this request, and I escorted them to the lounge to discuss this. During our transit however, S'Tani Istan was in the hallway, and proceeded to make the sound of barking, like a dog, to the Elyrans. They were understandably offended, and I assured them this was not planned. I had previously asked the shaft miners to stay away from the Elyrans, and informed the entire crew to be nice as I was dealing with a diplomatic incident. This single instance from the miner nearly derailed attempts to make amends. Thankfully the Elyrans were patient, and we continued to the lounge. At the lounge, we discussed what happened. We immediately declared neutrality on the issues of border disputes, and declined to get further into that. According to Rifleman Al-Jaziri, they met the shaft miners aboard, who they identified as harmless civilian scrappers. In exchange for allowing the Elyrans to repair the ship, they were allowed to salvage the ship for valuables. During this time however, one of the shaft miners vented the ship partially. According to the Elyrans, some did insult the miners, and weapons were drawn, but the fireteam leader ordered weapons put away. The shaft miners were then warned for their carelessness, as they injured the Elyran personnel. Afterwards, the entire ship was allegedly intentionally entirely vented by the shaft miners, who proceeded to leave the wreck. As the Elyrans did not have full EVA gear, this nearly killed a few of them aboard. They were infuriated by this display of recklessness and carelessness, and even Lillian Nystrom accompanying me agreed this was extremely non-standard behavior for a salvage operation. In the end, we negotiated the transfer of around 30,000 kPa of atmospheric air to replenish to lost stores of atmospheric air in the derelict ship. Le Tedrow left to fill canisters, while I offered non-alcoholic refreshments to the Elyrans. They declined, and we decided to move to collect the canisters of air. Soon after we have a biohazard issue of Greimorians aboard, and two crewmen were severely injured. The Elyran Ensign offered to help, and lacking medical staff I agreed to allow them to assist. They assisted two patients, one of which (Santiago Ibarluzea) was close to death, as I recorded a brain activity level of 6%. Thinking fast, Elyran Rifleman Al-Jaziri performed surgery on the individual directly on a stasis bed, as they were too critical to transport. With the assistance of Elyran Rifleman Nawra Faizen, Zhi Jiang, and Ahari Zerikahn, they were saved with surgery to repair their brain and lungs. I wish to take the time commend the Elyrans for their quick thinking that allowed us to save the lives of two crew members, one of whom was near-death. This also assisted in our diplomatic dealings, as I discussed our shared religion and comraderie from saving a life from this. I will need to refer Santiago Iberluzea to psychiatric evaluation however, as this surgery was performed with mere painkillers, as anaesthesia was unavailable. Le Tedrow was able to fill the canisters with atmospheric air, and with this we stated our goodbyes to the Elyrans. Afterwards however, S'Tani Istan stated, on -public communications- whether the "Elyran Dogs were gone yet". Thankfully they were, as this could have easily re-ignited their anger at the shaft miner. I turned myself in for charges afterwards, which is noted below in "additional notes". Submitted Evidence: - Recorder Logs gathered by The Watchmen Who Never Rests - Incident Report 56cac9ad00018d916c27a0097cf91434 - Emergency message sent to the SCC around 0430 Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [X] - Yes [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: No. No command was awake, and attempts to contact the SCC directly via emergency communication were not met with a response. Actions taken: I negotiated with the Elyran ensign and riflemen in question, to bring this to a peaceful conclusion. We successfully negotiated reparations of the atmospheric air the miners vented, which while was one-fourth of the stores of the Horizon, Le Tedrow informed me this could be easily replaced. Additional Notes: Allowing the Elyrans to dock and negotiating with them without referring to command was "Exceeding Official Powers" and I turned myself in for such, but I would like this charge reviewed due to the extreme and sensitive nature of the incident.

I would like to preface this by stating that this simulation was a good initiative from the event staff: We were able to figure out flaws with the command structure and the ship, without the real risk of losing our characters. I will admit that I had some trouble getting used to the new maneuvers, but I believed I performed well in the second half until I exploded in the bridge. I would now like to go ahead and bring forth the issues I noted, as Abdul Ibn Turkiel, Bridge Crewman: Crew -must- understand that during a combat situation, or really any dire emergency, comfort must come last. Complaining about being jostled around because we're evading shots in the bridge does not help us at all: We are trying to protect the ship and its crew from dying. That being said, things like surgery being interrupted as magboots and surgery tables did not properly buckle people in was not ideal. Even with warning this would have been extremely disruptive. I recommend the mapping team add more places to buckle down during an emergency situation like this, as they -will- get jostled. And the bugs with buckling be fixed as well. I noted major vulnerabilities with the ship and its systems. The bridge is a major issue as taking it out effectively kills command integrity. To offset this, I propose void suits be added nearby for bridge crew to take, without having to go two decks down to grab suits (which is not ideal in a true emergency situation, or an ambush). A CIC installed in the command bunker, allowing full control of the ship from there, was also proposed in discord; I recommend this to allow a backup command position. Void suits already exist nearby this area. Engines are far too unprotected. A good shot to the supermatter engine or the tesla would end a round. I recommend double walling these critical areas to protect them from such catastrophic damage. Research has basically nothing to do in this situation. Allowing them the ability to research and print experimental ship ammo types is a possible idea to give them something to do in this situation, and others. Overall good fun to be had.

If other, replace line and specify.) Overview of the Incident: I first heard of the Unathi being a security issue when ISU-Livada reported that Eku Ahulku threatened the positronic unit Bright, acting as Operations Manager, with an Axe. I asked to confer with Bright on whether they should arrest him or not; Bright declined. With that we decided not to arrest them, but ISU-Livada took it upon themselves to attempt to de-escalate the issue. In response, the Unathi Offender began to attack ISU-Livada with an Axe. ISU-Livada received minor damage, but was able to pin down the Unathi. At this point, it was decided to arrest the Unathi as they attempted to attack a security unit, therefore a charge of Vandalism applied. At this point I referred to Frederick Zhao, Chief Engineer, to confer with command on whether they deserved brig time. After a time, it was decided by command that the incident did warrant it. During this time however, the Unathi escaped their confinements, and proceeded to once again attack ISU-Livada, this time with their fists. With Command now requesting brig time, and the further violence committed against the Idris Security Unit, a second charge of Vandalism was applied along with Threat of Serious Injury. They were brigged for 20 minutes. During this time, the Unathi continued to engage with security members. They claimed that the positronic unit "sexually harassed" them by utilizing normal terms of endearment, as Idris recommends. They also further threatened violence, which Ahari Zerikanh attempted to de-escalate. Logs are attached of a snippet of this from brig recording equipment. When their sentence was up, they continued to threaten the ISU, saying "Seven days", as they were escorted out by my tajaran colleague. Submitted Evidence: -(Video logs gathered from brig processing room) -(Audio logs gathered from brig hallway) - Further evidence is available from video logs from the Operations Hallway, however this will require CCIA and/or Command approval to unseal Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [X] - Yes [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: Yes: Frederick Zhao, Chief Engineer Actions taken: Chief Engineer referred incident to rest of heads aboard. They recommended brig time for the incident before the subject was remitted into custody in the brig. Additional Notes: At this time, I would recommend a probationary period, along with an escalation of their threat level to crew from "Low" to "Medium." While they only attacked synthetics, one of them was a member of security, and the other was a member of command. Even though the positronic units are not flesh-and-blood members of the crew, the attack and threats on them represent a willingness to defy the command structure of the vessel.

Reporting Personnel: Comoe Oulai-Tape Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Warden (IDRIS) Personnel in Question: AGI Job Title of Personnel in Question: Assistant (INDEP) Reason for Review: [X] - Extended Arrest History [X] - Grievous Infraction on Record [ ] - Other: ____ Notes: The Positronic Unit designated "AGI" has an infraction list that runs several pages long on a standard terminal. Most of the charges are for assaulting other synthetics and sapient beings, but also include charges such as "Grand Theft" and "Suspected Murder". This unit has a threat designation of "Low" which I consider to be extremely low, considering the unit has a watch order on it. In addition, while its official handler is listed, the owner of the unit is listed as "Private", which is another concern I have regarding this unit. In plain writing, I would usually never question the administrative capabilities of the SCC and its associated members, but in this case I must strenuously object to this subpar hire aboard the ship. I believe their red portfolio speaks for itself in this matter.

BYOND key: generalcamo Discord Username: GeneralCamo#4928 Character names: Len Zhang, Surgeon Abdul ibn Turkiel, Bridge Officer Milton Tovarch, Machinist A few others used for experiments I have abandoned How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Approximately a year Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? I received a warning once for not obviously antagging, but no official action was taken Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: OOC, Head of Staff are expected to bring their experience with roleplaying into the community, and contribute positively to the community's growth. To this end, they are expected to show good roleplaying, and provide opportunities to characters; this could be in the form of creating a rivalry for a traitor to exploit, commanding a department or the ship itself during an emergency, or even just giving a new player a job or some training in their position so they can continue to provide their experience to Aurora. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Primarily to provide an example to the community on roleplaying, and hopefully provide an incentive to stay with the server and perhaps even apply to a whitelist on their own. Assisting and interacting with other players is the primary thing to do here, along with upholding the rules of the server and the SOP of the ship itself. Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau Ceti and how it affected your character and their career? The two primary characters I have played are Abdul and Len. I shall provide information for both of them. Currently not much is happening in Tau Ceti, however there was recently the refugee crisis from the Jargon Federation, and the greater war between the new SCC/Biesel and Sol. In addition, there is a great shortage of Phoron which spurred the creation of the SCCV Horizon, which both characters serve on. For Len Zhang, they are a veteran of Zeng-Hu, and has treated many patients aboard the Aurora and Horizon. Originally contracted with Nanotrasen, during the war in Sol, they treated many of the casualties that were eventually brought onto the NSS Exodus. This caused him some trauma that took him out of work for a year. He is now installed with a memory inhibitor to prevent further issues, and was soon after transferred to the new SCC, and the NSS Aurora, where they continued their job. During this time, the Jargon Federation had an election, which eventually resulted in the refugee crisis. His thoughts on this were, rather mixed. He heard many rumors about the Kala on the Aurora, but also knew about xenophobia. His loyalty to the company was paramount however, and he never spoke out publically against the Jargon Federation or the refugees until the terrorist attack, which he personally condemned. He now serves aboard the SCCV Horizon, where he continues to provide top-notch medical services to the crew aboard. As for Abdul, they served as a third officer aboard a TCFL vessel (At this time I am not sure if they served as a Legionary or a Prefect). Their family historically has served in a military capacity, formerly for the Sol Government and now for the Republic of Biesel's Legion. During the recent war they were -not- deployed to Biesel, instead being deployed to defend New Gibson, and as a result only partook in relatively minor skirmishes compared to the main fighting. They were however, soon after deployed to the recently annexed Corporate Reconstruction Zone, where he saw first-hand the instability and chaos of the region. With his commission ended, Abdul takes his command experience to the newly launched SCCV Horizon to assist in the search for desperately needed Phoron, to hopefully avoid another chaotic instance such as what he saw in the invasion and the CRZ. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? For Len Zhang, I plan to go with CMO. For Abdul ibn Turkiel, I plan to go with Executive Officer with the possibility to later go with Captain depending on how they develop. I may create a character to serve as Consular to the Empire of Dominia, but not for the trial. Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yes, along with the chain of command page. I have also pointed out inaccuracies and outdated information to the wiki team. Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.: Len Zhang: CMO Abdul ibn Turkiel: XO, CO Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes Have you linked your byond account to the forums? Yes Extra notes: I'm generally more available on weekends than on the weekdays, but I shall strive to play more on weekdays while I am on trial. I just have work to balance out with Aurora.
