Trial started today at 2019/08/09 and will end on 2019/08/16. Try to encourage other players to give you feedback on your command play here.

I'll be handling your application. Try to gather a bit more feedback, you are allowed to advertise your app in OOC once a round.

As a person that plays AI a lot I sadly cannot endorse this. Also I agree with karolis to a certain extent, I do no think there would enough to do for them, implying we even get 5 bridge assistants. Relaying messages? Don't think they would be needed for that. Holopad communication the way you describe it sounds like a good idea. I do not think the other consoles get really used in the bridge because they already exist in their respective departments, meaning they don't need to contact the bridge assistant if they want something from it. I fear that if you have 5 people on permanent camera duty that they will severely limit antags ability to roam and do things unnoticed, the AI now has to decide whether to keep tracking or do other things, granted they have the follow command but that can easily be rendered useless. What about stationbounds? With the AI gone they will have no master unit. All in all, it has some good aspects but the cons outweigh the pro, IMO.

You have enough positive feedback and have taken criticism well. Congratulations, application accepted as per 2019/07/28

Ban has been lifted. Locking and archiving.

I am going to lift this ban but should this happen again in the near future it's very likely it will not be appealable for a while.

This does not address the issue which we have with you, which is repeatedly going SSD for longer periods of times as security.

You have received a warning, a note and now this ban in the span of 2 days, all of them because you went SSD as security without telling us. Can you somehow ensure that this doesn't happen again?

Looking at your app and feedback we have decided to give you a trial. Your trial starts today on 2019/07/20 and ends on 2019/07/27.

Ill be your big tiddy goth gf

Die.

I was initially very sceptical when I saw the PR because you nerfed both the capacity and the agony which seemed to cast the baton into near uselessness. With the capacity nerfs removed and the agony and armor change this seems like a very good thing, this should keep the baton semi viable while not allowing to unga people anymore. I support this and would love to see a test of it.

Since my interview wasn't posted here yet I decided to do that. Hope thats ok.

Basic Information Byond Account: Itzal / SenpaiShadow_(old) Character Name(s): The ones I have played recently: Samuel Hatherway, Aedina Victricius, Jason Stamos and Kaylie LaCroix AI Name(s): Murphy Discord username + tag: Itzal#0001 Age: Timezone: GMT+1 When are you on Aurora?: During the week 5-11pm. During the weekend anywhere from 8 am to 4 am (next day). Experience How long have you played SS13?: Started in 2013. How long have you played on Aurora: Played from 2015 to 2017, occasionally I showed up in 2018. Started playing again in mid 2019. How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: Anything up to early 2018 except atmos I can do. I am in the final stages of learning the last few new mechanics. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: Yes, although I am unsure about the exact dates anymore. If required I'll do some digging and give you the exact dates. Started on Aurora during summer 2015 as Trial mod. Was made an admin in early-mid 2016 and shortly afterwards (I think it was a few months) I was promoted to headmin together with Garn. I stayed Headmin for a year and then I resigned. 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?: Because I am a huge fan of RP, space settings and in depth mechanics and SS13 combines all of those. Why do you play on Aurora?: I intially joined on accident but it was the greatest mistake I ever made, the people made me feel welcome on the server and helped me a lot, I was barely able to speak english so one guy even offered to teach me. Whenever I had a problem people listened and offered advice. It quickly grew to be one of my favorite places to be online. During the last week I have seen that this is still the case, the people are welcoming everyone to the community like they have known you for ages, … which is true in some cases. For me at least. What do moderators do?: As Headmin I expected mods to moderate, as simple as it sounds. They ensure that the rules are not broken as well as actively help the players, be it questions about the rules, mechanics or something else. Additionally they moderate the forums and the discord server, ensuring everyone's sticking to the rules. They are also assisting Administrators whenever needed, be it by handling complaints or interviewing people. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: Essentially the same as written above. Moderators ensure that the round is enjoyable for everything by making sure nobody breaks the rules while at the same time helping players whenever they need it. Why do you want to be a moderator?: Because this place still means a lot to me and I want to make sure Aurora keeps sailing as smoothly as it does now. I joined this team all those years ago to try to make aurora a better place and I truly believe that we, as a team, managed to do so, but there is always room for more and it is my wish to help again so that we can ensure the best possible quality for players. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I am patient, polite and don't hold others to standards I can't keep myself. I am able to do my duties as staff even while under stress, I'd even go so far and say that I reach my full potential while I am under stress. I am resistant to insults, people have tried very often to get me angry but so far nothing worked, I can stay calm whenever needed. I know my bounds so whenever I get too emotional, mainly angry, I am able to step back and stand down and not lash out. Due to me handling a lot of complaints in the past I think I am understanding. Its easy for me spot if someone accidentally broke the rules or if they did so while being fully aware of them. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: Please see the answer above. Anything Else You Want to Add: (Do not put words here) I apologize for all words that are capitalized or spelled in german. For some reason the german autocorrect kicked in and I was unable to turn it off. Also since this question will come up, I have resigned because I couldn't handle my changing job situation, social life and Aurora at the same time. Due to both issues being resolved I am ready to commit my body and soul again.

A great mod, a great admin and one of the best headmins I have seen. Would recommend adding him once more.

I am retired staff, my opinion doesn't matter and doesn't have any impact. I just wanted to clarify that other staffmembers did indeed read your PMs and talked with synth.

1 Staffmember and me were reading the PMs between you and synth. Afterwards synth asked for suggestions/made a suggestion and the staff on the server came to the conclusion that the punishment was appropriate.

"Promoting you to head administrator remains one of the best decisions i have made in my tenure here" Bitch, excuse me? I was there too to decide. Also sad to see you go. o7 (since the forums changed now and I dont have my title anymore, ex headmin here)

Death to the tincans. Scrap them while you still can.

I can't properly meme with this. You ruined this. Dishonor on your cow.

I was there when we tested it and I have to wholeheartedly support it.

I came back from my grave to say that this guy deserves a trial. He was amazing player in ye old days.

The most beautiful thing I have read in ages

After reading this complaint and the logs of this situation I have to agree with garns reasoning. He took some of your blood, thats it. He didn't kill or harm you in any other way and both of you continued to play normally afterwards. We are not forcing antags to emote a paragraph before doing something like this.
