I will make a PR and like it, thank you

While I agree entirely, this is a subject beyond the scope of this post.

By it's nature, you cannot ready as a ST. It is a ghost role.

Given Ody's reliance on STs (it doesn't need one, but at that point it's just a glorified away site with a few guys there), this is not something I would push for.

I feel like this topic has been done a million times, but I'm doing it again. With the canonicity indicator, it's even more important: Extended should not be in secret unless there are no viable antag readied. Even then, it should likely attempt auto traitor, converting any new arrivals with traitor on. Furthermore, secret should check to see what game types are eligible, select one and go rather then the try and try again it does now. I realise however this is a code thing and may not be easily implemented, so it's less important. I know already the main argument. People like the occasional extended round, to do away missions or to get plenty of workplace RP. The thing is, extended can be voted for, and most if not all antag rounds usually have thirty to sixty minutes of uninterrupted extended at the start while antags set up or are still escalating small. Furthermore, people can play off duty and ignore 80% of antags if people merely wish to have an IC chat by hiding out in a service booth or similar. Finally, most rounds before pop and after our daily three or so high pop rounds are invariable extended. I'd love to see people who are so into extended actually use these too. Extended, while fun, always leads to a large dip in pop afterwards and can lead to pop ending early. I really think this would help, alongside incentives for antag readies - but that is not the topic of this thread.

BYOND Key: Fyni Discord Username: Fyni Character Name: Dido Sophonisa Item Name: (if you are applying for multiple items, it should be made into a list with the description, name and appearance together): Sophonisa Cape (alternatively, Carian Patrician Cape) Item Function(s): A fashionable cape, showing off the icon of the patrician family Sophonia. It has a hood which can be pulled up or down. Otherwise it has no function. Item Description: As it would appear in game: This shoulder cap is the dark navy blue of the ancient Carian patrician family, Sophonisa. Two thin flowing strands of fabric hang off the back, one in Carian purple, the other in white showing the golden handed icon of the Sophonisa. Around the neck and hood is a white furred band. Extended Description: The Sophonisa family, represented by a sinister golden hand set in a purple moon on a field of silver, is an ancient Carian patrician house which predates the Dominian viceroyalty of the planet and is known for a long line of bankers who credit accurate readings of the stars for their success. Even today, they hold a non-voting seat on the Adirim, where they support House Kaneko - and have long been rumoured to hold some discontent to House Caladius due to financial conflicts. Why is your character bringing this item to work?: This cape is a highly fashionable item representing their patrician family. How did your character obtain this item?: Dido has long has an eye for fashion after her childhood ambition to be a fashion designer. She had this item custom made with the aid of Carian tailors. What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: Multiple. First, the cape holds obvious similarity to Morozian fashion while taking an distinctly "different" design, indicative of Caria's strangeness and isolation from the rest of the Empire. Second, it was designed by Dido herself, and it is something she is highly proud of even if her career ambitions were laid aside to join one closer to the rest of her family - finance. Finally, it marks her a member of the Sophonisa family. Even if the family is in decline, they remain proud of their ancient heritage which predates the Imperial Viceroyalty. Sprites:

We're still concerned that this item appears to be an all encompassing hat. When we said a screen, we envisioned something similar to this (excuse my crude rendition): A full head enclosing hat is something both us and the synth lore team would not allow as a serious, regular item - it is a bit over the line into unserious and silly (though could work as a costume/halloween item.) We'd like to see the sprite reworked to fit this design if possible.

Hello! We discussed this item however these are too much of a straight up 8 ball as they are - and a hat fully replacing the head makes this veer right off into "silly" territory. We would like to see a screen projection for the bishop frame - fitting the style of the others - to consider this.

Very well. Ban should be lifted.

You have a history of rude and crude comments and strikes, temp and perma bans for them. As long as you acknowledge this and promise me to try to do better with the understanding we may not be so lenient should you repeat the exact same mistakes. On those conditions, I am willing to lift the ban. Is this acceptable?

As Bear is no longer on the staff I will deal with this. Can you confirm if this ban was applied via the borelis bot, or via discord bans and your discord id please?

Hello! Sorry about the big delays on this one. This is the third time custom items have been used to acquire basically the same thing - Aut'akh limbs. If this was the first, it would not have generated so much discussion on our end, however it is unfair to single you out because you were the last to do so - but nor would it be fair to retroactively apply the same standard to previous applicants for the same limbs. Therefore, we are going to accept this application, on the proviso that mechanical updates will be eventually made to the items - for unathi players and all custom item holders with the same items.

Both of our concerns have been addressed, so I am happy to accept this app.
