Mostly interact with Tsisana. RP is good, easy to drive interaction with. Attitude is good. Nothing but the usual nervousness of playing Command on your trial. I'd be surprised if this went badly. +1

This thread has been totally derailed from the original topic, Super Mario 64. I will be locking the thread now. DM me for more info about Call of Duty. I will be archiving this in the next 20 centimeters. Your application is Denied. You may reapply in 5 years.

CatsinHD is an absolute positive for the community. They're invested in their characters and it shows - Aisha Hrakra, who I especially like, is a great addition to any RP scene. Their OOC behaviour is very good, never looking for trouble and, in my opinion, having the right attitude when it comes to topics of HRP dynamics and how characters should interact with each other. They'll make a great addition to the moderator team and I look forward to possibly working with them in the future. +1 from Sputnik.

Byond Account: Sputnik5927 Character Name(s): Only the active ones. Wolf Arges, Security Officer Vladimir Khoromov, Merchant TAKMAN, Security Officer Harald Brytforda, Head of Security Martin Walker, Captain Tazan Mauli, Security Officer AI Name(s): None currently. Discord username + tag: Sputnik#3401 Age: 18 Timezone: GMT+2 When are you on Aurora?: It varies day-by-day and depending on population. I guess I most often play in the morning and in the evening. I do leave Aurora on in the background a lot, waiting for a new round or for the manifest to fill up or empty. Experience How long have you played SS13?: Not sure. I think I've been playing SS13 for four or five years, on and off. How long have you played on Aurora: I joined early August of 2022. How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: Because this question is a little vague, I'm going to assume this is referring to variables, item functions, etc. I think I know those pretty well. Referring to Department mechanics, I know how they work and/or I know how to help myself. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: Yes. I have hosted and moderated my own SS13 servers. 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?: I was initially drawn to SS13 by stories of crazy devices, experiments, stories and the idea of being a character in a huge sci-fi space setting. Once I figured out the controls and UI, I was hooked. The detail and systems of SS13 are awesome, especially the way that NPCs work, the way that organs actually work, the devices you can create and the physics simulation. This game was made for me. Why do you play on Aurora?: I am a big fan of the "workplace" setting of Aurora, as well as the general personable atmosphere. I can actually talk to people and develop some real characters that matter, with rounds that tie together in a canon that everyone can influence. I never got that on other HRP servers. What do moderators do?: Moderators answer to ahelps, moderate the flow of events and make sure that everybody's having fun and following the rules. See the next two questions for poetry. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: It's volunteer work, for sure. It's not "fun" to have to deal with certain issues or to have to face constant scrutiny, criticism and maybe hostility from others. Sometimes, you have to stick your neck out to protect someone or insist on a ruling that might be uncomfortable for you in the long term. But that's not what you become a moderator for. You become a moderator because you think you know how to show new players the ropes, just as you had to and to resolve conflicts between community members that would otherwise become serious problems. To be a trusted individual for community members and, in the small view, to just keep a round steady - or get it back on track... Why do you want to be a moderator?: I have found myself seriously invested into this server and community. I have seen the good and certainly the bad. I want to be a part of the project and uphold the standards and mutual respect between members that should be expected on a high quality HRP server. I also think that I can help people get back in the saddle should there be problems of some kind, especially when it comes to OOC conflict or HRP questions. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I am an experienced Server Owner that has managed communities for years. I can look at myself and situations from a third-person perspective and see what the best approach is. I don't provoke, I don't incite and I don't stir up huge drama over small things. This is not to say I let people walk all over me. My experience as a server host gave me a good eye for this. I understand that this is still a game and we are all here to entertain each other - some things need to be taken less seriously and others more. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: I can detach myself from this kind of thing very well, especially when I'm "on-duty" as a moderator. It's my job to handle it and still be able to interact with the members in question afterwards. I understand anger, insults, etc. very well and over my time of Admining I've come to be able to be professional in those kind of situations. I have no problem controlling myself and I don't have outbursts that would pose some kind of risk to giving me moderator privileges. Come on. Give me the rank. Give me the rank now. Anything Else You Want to Add: This part has weird capitalization

Actually jealous I didn't think of this first. Absolutely +1, helps make it feel like a persistent world and seem less empty even on low pop. Fucking genius

Briar Sadar is always easy to work with as Captain. Responds well to whatever is happening in the round and generally goes along with the narrative. +1

Reporting Personnel: John Biesel, Nanotrasen Representative Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Already said it. FUCKING LISTEN!!!! Game ID: I HATE YOU Personnel Involved: T-0, AI, Offender ALLOY, Cyborg, Offender BUDDY, Cyborg, Offender Quqououqo Ouoq, Engineer, Victim Secondary Witnesses: He said no witnesses If I name anyone they will be next Time of Incident: I HATE YOU Real Time: At least 35 Location of Incident: AI upload chamber Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [ ] - Neglect of Duty [ ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [ ] - Misconduct [X] - idk Overview of the Incident: It was a normal day on the Horizon when I heard the skrell Engineer Quququqoqo scream for help in the AI chamber. I go there and witness the two Cyborgs ALLOY and BUDDY dragging the Engineer into the AI upload chamber, in front of T-0's mainframe. There, T-0 says, "INITIATE PAPERCLIP PROTOCOL" ALLOY and BUDDY begin folding the skrell into a paperclip. It was horrific and I don't think that it is conducive to a good working environment. I would like to add that the skrell Engineer repeatedly accused T-0 of being "just like Glorsh" as he was being restrained by the borgs, which is an insult not only to T-0 but also Tankovy (I have investments in that company), so there is some provocation involved. Submitted Evidence: [A 3 terabyte image of a monkey] Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [X] - Maybe Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: Kadeem Rakrubijstri, Operations Manager Actions taken: Kadeem Rakrubijstri visited the AI chamber, but upon being approached by the Cyborgs, he screamed "meow" and fled the scene Additional Notes: I HATE YOU

Changed to Harald Brytforda.

Sounds like an interesting idea for dealing with IPCs and Cyborgs. I wouldn't count on it for anything else really, because I assume using this thing will mean you can't fight properly. Maybe you can adapt the idea and make it useful against everyone or make it a deployable item.

I was under the impression that you thought IPCs were lawed or something like that. The second part, I'm bringing this up so that you do not take it as the ultimate rule that you must let the scientist burn to death to save your chassis. As for Redrun's story, I like it. It'll be interesting to see an IPC like this involved in Ops and the opportunity of roleplaying with miners at the spark. I would add some more content that describes his personality and how he came to have friends in the first place. Was he happy to have been stolen? How did the people react to him and how did he engage with them? Was he cold and robotic or lively and warm? How did he feel about being repossessed?

You said: 1. Not having any control over what they do sounds more like a Cyborg attribute. Positronics, for the most part, are very different in that aspect. What do you mean by this, exactly? 2. This highest directive was addressed some time ago, where the self-preservation directive can be overridden if an IPC values a cause highly enough. So an IPC might sacrifice itself for some kind of political ideal, if convinced enough. You should read through the IPC section in the lore discord so you don't miss anything. This is important for how IPCs behave in a critical situation.
