The Von part is most assuredly allowed as it constitutes a compound name, however the point being brought up for it being mentioned is that it, in and of itself, does not change the Schrodinger part of the name. This is the argument that you made that was being referenced, so that you understand why it was even brought up at all.

Now that I have your attention, I am not satisfied with the Liaison role when used with the NT faction. Consulars and other company liaisons have ruined the attachment to the NT version that used to be IAA. I've been told time and time again that NT Liaisons are basically still IAA but it just doesn't feel that way since people don't use the role in the same fashions they used to, particularly command. This is the NT representative section on the wiki: They are there to be IAA plus an inspector. This is all well and good but my ID entry in the manifest says "Corporate Liaison" and does not show a faction tag. Even an Idris Liaison looks the same on the manifest, you have to see their PDA/ID to see the company they work for. I'd love to see something that more clearly allows people to be NT members, or even to play IAA in the same manner that the used to. The best way to do this is to let IAA or some other identifying alt-title be selectable for NT faction members, at least in my opinion.

I don't the Rev should be effected at all.

Server Moderator Application Basic Information Byond Account: Xelnagahunter Character Name(s): Standing Among the Rain, Everett Millhouse, and Nazar Kudryoshov are the ones I play currently. AI Name(s): I don't play AI anymore. Discord username + tag: Xelnagahunter#8830 Timezone: EST(-5GMT) When are you on Aurora?: Fairly randomly, I might be on first thing in the morning or late at night and anywhere in between. It depends on my schedule and activities for the day. Experience How long have you played SS13?: I started in 2015 but took a 3 year break at some point in there. How long have you played on Aurora: See Above. How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: Not as much as I want to. I'm fairly good with the basics and engineering. I know the concept of most science stuff, even if I don't know how it all works. I know nothing about medical at all. For sec, I know regulation pretty well as former CCIAA Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: On this one actually. It was only for a few months though. Have you read through the criteria thread; https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4198 - and believe that you mark off all the criteria?: Yes. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No. Personality Why do you play SS13?: As a way to fill my itch to RP within a system that includes a set of mechanics and rules that help limit the characters. Why do you play on Aurora?: Because I enjoy the HRP intent and I was introduced to this server as the first and only server I've played on. What do moderators do?: Moderators are here to serve several purposes. They help players with questions when they can. They stop griefers and others who disregard the rules and remove those players if they seem to be doing so intentionally. They also handle complaints and moderate the forums. All in all, general moderation stuff. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: It's being someone to whom the players can turn for help, if it's a question or a problem, and to do your best to try to resolve it. Why do you want to be a moderator?: I like helping people, I like this server and it's community. I feel like I've learned more then I knew on my first run as moderator and like I might be able to make a difference. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I feel I meet the criteria as mentioned in the linked thread, I have some experience, cool and level headed, and I'm able to go with the flow as needed. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: Pretty well. I internalize it and let it go to a confidant when I feel it's become too much. Anything Else You Want to Add: The question will come about me leaving the CCIAA team and making a moderator app just after. I disagreed with some ideas and there were other issues internal to the team that I no longer felt like dealing with. This does not mean that I am right and they are wrong or that I left them with any hard feelings. I hope that the direction of the team is always going to be an improvement and I personally wish every member of the team well and consider them friends. Part of my own issues was thinking it hadn't changed from when I was a part of the team last, things changed however and it wasn't really the same, albeit similar. I'm not making that mistake in my application for moderator.

It's perfectly fair. While the game mode isn't in the secret rotation, there is no doubt in my mind that people who vote secret don't give a shit what the round type is. You are trying to place the argument that 8 people didn't want paranoia, but I only view that as a vote of 6 to 4, not 6 to 8 since secret people usually are just trying to get something other than extended most of the time. Not saying that my account is 100% true or accurate, but it's how I see things.

The only thing you've "suggested" is a vague statement of "It's for the elites." That gives me nothing. My character comes from a family of billionaires and is the unworthy son whom will not inherit the money. He works in medical as a resident because that's all the schooling he's ever gotten and it was only because he was forced to. He died one day. He was probably still cloned because his family still loves him in some fashion, even if it is sick and twisted, so they would front the money for that sort of insurance/procedure because he is part of the elite. Unless by this you mean command staff only, including reps and Odin staff. Again, this is a constantly argued thing that has gotten no where in the years since I first joined this server. (Although we did manage to remove genetics a long time ago.)

Cloning is an issue that has come up time and time and time and time and ti- Get it? First is the fact that 99% of the time, an intentional suicide is DNC. The rare incident gets through though. But really, why would we waste time bringing back someone who just killed themselves. Secondly, I've only seen cloning used rarely. I have only been cloned once personally (0/10 terrible experience where a psych beat my face in with his feet), I don't ever get to see it even when I used to play command staff. This isn't saying it can't be done liberally, because if the right players are on then it can be. Also, as was said, it's still a video game. If you find people with bad RP and the like due to a "lack of consequences" then ahelp that shit. I promise, nothing is going to change about cloning any time soon. And not to nitpick, but what is being suggested here? You've not really offered any alternatives or suggestions to make things better, or asked people to respond with the topic of making some sort of change.

It's been a week. Nobody give a shit. Bin this.

Please let me know on BYOND pager at xelnagahunter, on a Discord direct message at Xelnagahunter#8830, or in PMs on the Aurorastation forums at aurorastation.org as Xelnagahunter if you have any questions!

That said, I've removed it from the complaint. I do not wish to cause any slander regarding the person beyond what I feel should be handled by the complaint. I'd rather just have the issue resolved peacefully in the format of the player understanding that this behavior isn't something considered HRP and working to correct it in the future. Apologies for any misunderstandings created by the comment.

Added some details to help some who are on the fence identify the character as well as some of it's background that folks have managed to figure out.

bump?

I think one of the major points seen here is the sheer authority the HoS holds to do things like the code blue example given at the end. I love the intent to change play like this but do you not really think that eventually the HoP swiping for blue for the EXACT same reasons won't become the norm? People will stop questioning it. It's nifty and I like the intent, but I don't think any honest change will happen in that regard. we will have police and then reservist unit. The TCS unit will either be bored or hated by the crew in many game modes. I just don't see this as being beneficial.

This. While I would prefer to see a whitelist over removal, I don't think either should be an issue. I think enforcing good RP and objective planning are things we should be more worried about. If people think the antags having to make plans around the AI existing is hard, then perhaps they should turn off antag options until they learn how the AI operates, or even try playing a few AI rounds themselves. It's really simple to avoid cameras and to avoid the AI finding you when you are in front of one (unless they happen to scroll over you on the map and know how you're dressed). It's also simple to subvert the AI in a manner that most people would never notice for those doing stealth ops. In all other purposes the AI is a huge help and even a teaching tool if they know how various departments work. As said, if the options are whitelist or removal, I'd much prefer a whitelist. However I don't think either is a valid option really.

Hi there, I play a character named Approaching the Rain as an engineering apprentice whom has had the (dis)pleasure of working both alongside and after Dick Yung. Given that you declared a potential use of this character in the CE slot I have a few issues. The first is that I have not once seen you play a full round from beginning to end. Usually you dip out about 30 mins after setting up the engine if nothing is happening that effects engineering. This is not a something I feel heads of staff should do frequently and I currently don't have any reason to think you won't do it. The second is the shoddy work done by the character when I log in as my apprentice after Dick has entered cryo. Usually there are major issues with the engine setup that would drive most CEs insane, but that seems like more of an IC issue. Lastly, the last time I saw you I think you were on station as a Hephaestus contractor, which would automatically remove your CE eligibility. Of these issues I feel the first is the most prominent issue that isn't easily hand-waived as it involves you as a player and not a specifically mentioned character. I'd like to see you play full rounds. Be there until round end, even when you're not doing anything. This is an RP server, you should be making reasons to stay. All of this in mind, with the addition that you're only a few months bad from a second major disciplinary action, I don't feel that you're ready. I wish you luck and hope you can prove me wrong, but I'm going to have to say no. -1

Use the hacking guides in regards to cameras. If you don't cut the alarm wire you don't create an alarm. You can find the alarm wire by pulsing wires, just hope the AI isn't watching when you pulse the focus wire or you've just given yourself away. Regarding loud thefts, be ready and quick and have reasonable escape options lined up. Making use of the false walls and the like can help you have a clean getaway. Causing a distraction moments before you go loud, such as a bomb on the other end of the station, could help. Be careful not to cause too much trouble when you do, if sec can't get to the location to investigate they will just beef up in other areas and watch cameras more. I'm a newbie antag, but I've gotten away with quite a bit, such as stealing from the vault and even carding the AI to leave with it. Play smart, but remember that at some point you should be making the round fun for the server, interacting with people other than security is a good method I'm trying to figure out. Find characters with exploitable information and use it. If they made the effort to type it up, more often than not they will RP with it. Bribe and coerce the crew to help you get away with your goals.

Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [ ] - Neglect of Duty [ X ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [ X ] - Misconduct [ ] - Other _____ (Place an x in the box that applies. If other, replace line and specify.) Overview of the Incident: At departures he was in line to be searched due to code blue. Suddenly an engineering apprentice pushed past him screaming "humans first" at him. He tried to defend that he was next but officer Snow kept insisting that he step back or be crushed by the blast doors. He feels this is rude and racist on both accounts. Did you report it to a Head of Department or IAA? If so, who?: He was heading to departures, there was no time. Actions taken: Additional Notes:

Not saying that I think being defensive about this is really rule breaking, but to sum up what was said here. "Don't be a dick." PLay the game and enjoy it. We use a LOT of suspension of disbelief in this game, why should the fact that not everyone understands currency value the same way be any different. Some places use a currency system that breaks into smaller units so their system seems more valuable, others don't. We are all here to have fun and you don't lose any possibility of that fun by spending money. Wanna be mad IC fine, but leave the salt there and out of our OOC. Why not let a price gun work properly on these items and let the chef decide what to actually charge based on that?

In the old consoles, the feature I used most that I missed on here was the ability to see a person's role before entering their record. I was also able to sort them alphabetically by role instead of character name. Without these features I find the console to be a bit of a hassle to navigate when I'm looking for a person in a role and don't know their name. I know the crew manifest is a thing, but in a real work environment I'd feel dumb pulling up my phone to find information I should be able to gave on the computer I'm working at.
