Hello folks, I'm sorry to announce my resignation as lore master for aurorastation. I'm just so exhausted from all the hard work of writing and catering to all of you. I've literally been worked to the bone to make sure you all have a pleasant experience. It has been such a pleasure to have contributed to this community in such a way, I know far too much about all of you, in such detail that I am forever scarred by the things I know. I will being going to greener pastures now(a carbon scorch mark in a Russian field outside of Moscow). You are bugs! Dark greetings!

Thanks a bunch! Happy to be a part of this healthy and fun community!!!

Hi, thanks for the question. Since NBT2 will take place after the Second Galaxy War, joryillions will be dead, so there won't be a whole lot to explore because it all exploded in the Super War. But that's okay because we're introducing a new resource for mining, the most important department mechanically in NBT2, to hunt down, along with phoron. Cantgetinite, an extremely dense, sturdy, and almost invulnerable metal from some long distant past. How do we melt it down and use it if it's indestructible? Well, all will be revealed eventually. It's extremely important to me that security remains the front and center of all interactions in and outside of events, so the away sites that exist, even the mining sites, will require a full cadre security presence at all time in order to successfully extract these resources. Lore accuracy is very important to me, which is why away sites will be closely checked for arcadey, joke, overpowered, or implausible items. Every individual item placed on an away site will have a story to it, it will be required in my mapping requirements.

Really great point here that I didn't address. All AI will be banned, we can't have AI pretending to be players within the community either. Next

This guy been running the bridge like a mofo since the first show up. +1 better XO than most, it's true btw and you know I'm right. Hero at in-depth roleplay, staying to a lane, and escalation. Green to go. But those who know would agree without me saying anything

Hey, thanks for the input! IDK what the Sol Marines are, that kind of sounds like 40k. I didn't really read your server's lore page and figured I'd just wing it which is why I have 8 warnings(no bans btw) on my profile about referring to the SCCV Horizon as the Torch or Aurora. My biggest lore change would be adding adding 70 new origins, 200 accents, 30 new planets, and a bunch of languages ig. Idk I just feel like this server doesn't have enough character diversity, everyone gets along too easily and there isn't enough difference for the majority of characters to never find common ground with each other. I'd also cut ghost roles and the observing for non staff. And Idk I'd probably get rid of playable aliens too, I don't know why you wouldnt just play a human, like you literally could just play yourself and when that gets bored in a month you can do it again except they have a new face and origin

When you ask me why I'm not writing I'll tell you I've been scouring the world for inspiration because writing isn't that important as compared to aura. I'll also block you on everything instead of communicate any issue you have with the direction im taking the lore because idk how to take criticism or pressure and youre wrong.

Medina flag is so good Goolies.

-1 copy-pasted app with an extra line added to it.

NerdyVampire is so real for this one. The Horizon already has the "spare office" by the starboard docking arm. Make the freelancers use that.

Can you describe how the Orion Spur is a volatile place right now? What makes it so and how has that affected where your character previously worked or is from?

its already a hiding spot, unfortunately, nobody is creative enough to figure it out.

I haven't had a lot of difficulty depicting my characters' wealth or lack of wealth in the setting so far personally, not because of the tools given to me mechanically or in lore though, but because I make up the expenses in my head as I go along. Is it something I want to see more of and actively engage with in the universe? Hell yes. It is a corporate setting, I wish we would lean into that part more than we do, at least in my own opinion, and one part of leaning into that is dealing with economics, as employees of the corporate empire. As of now, for my main character, I have 3/4ths of his wage sent off to the Hadiist Party, who pays for his needs, like housing and such aboard the Horizon and supporting his family on Adhomai. The remaining quarter of his income goes to his wants, like brand new clothes instead of basic laborer gear, or a trip away from Biesel which has drained him of about a year's worth of savings. Bonuses are a huge thing for several of my characters and I keep how much they make from those bonuses in mind as it greatly affects their moods for days to come. In-game finances are not something I usually keep a record of, nor should they be, but I intentionally keep it on my mind as of right now, for otherwise any big decision or new outfit or a gift he'd purchase for someone would be completely meaningless in my own eyes.
