The so called "Defenders of Operations", starring Casey Wildkins: Garchomp for the extra ouch, Amoonguss (lol!) for the support, Corviknight as a solid flyer, Lanturn because we cannot forget a fish + water and electric, Gengar because Gengar and lastly Ferrothorn because of the massive defense...

Hi. As your Trial is intended for gathering feedback and whether to decide or not you are fit for playing a command role I will leave what I have observed in the few rounds I played with you or observed as of right now: Firstly, I don't really understand the deal with the hostility of your character against your own department, which is service. The first round you played this trial period, or well, the first I have seen, you wordlessly walked through the bar, to the kitchen, just to antagonize one of the cooks with sudden statements out of nowhere like: "How long was this dip out for?!". I get what you are trying to do here, but, really? Secondly about your communication, from my observations and while I was playing command or command support roles myself, you are barely communicative about the current ongoings of the shift, at all. There are attempts to be doing so, but mostly it's just radio silence when other command members ask you for something, especially well seen in the last round. Lastly and the thing which concerns me the most: You are actively questioning the presence of antagonists, constantly, and pushing to let their gimmick blow. As a member of command you are here to do the exact opposite of that. I have especially strongly seen this in the last round too, with the Idris mercs, where you have been in constant questioning of their actions and even proposed multiple times to fax central command about them. ^ That's all I have to drop, thanks for reading through it. Good luck with the rest of your trial, I hope these things get progressively better.

@Fyni and I will be taking the complaint. We will be sifting through the round logs and information about the round that we have accessible to ourselves. While that is happening, @QuestioningMark, it would be nice to hear your side of the story. Thanks. Also, @NewOriginalSchwann, was it Security that took away your radio by themselves, or the Chief Engineer that explicitly ordered Security to do so? What was the HoS' stance on all of this, if they said anything regarding it? It's important to know where that came from.

BYOND Ckey: Loorey Discord username: loo_rey Character names: Casey Wildkins, Keira Yamamoto... and many more. Species you are applying to play: Tajara ------------------------------ General Whitelist Requirements What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: Blue-Grey (#222532); a Zhan-Khazan. Have you read the lore pages for the species you wish to be whitelisted for?: Yes, I have. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question. Why do you wish to play this species?: I've been eyeing the species for a while now, and in my eyes, it's one of the most interesting. The infighting they have within the species itself and the interaction with humans and other species make them a very interesting pick; the strong interplay of castes and three very distinctive and much different forms of government add strongly to the RP flavor of the species. And beyond all of that, I just want to play and experience interactions with the species as I wanted to with every other one I applied for. The unique interactions and relations you can make with other characters really make for an amazing time playing another species.s. What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: Well, firstly, you have the obvious: Tajara have much more unique and distinctive cultural backgrounds; as such, they also have much different societal norms. Added to that, you have the much different physical characteristics of the species: They have rather felinoid characteristics, best seen in the examples of them having low-light vision and semi-prehensile tails. Another rather obvious factor in regards to their culture is how they interact with Tajara from other governmental forms, how the relations build with Tajara from their own government, such as the others. Most Tajara have also not only heard about or seen but experienced war in the form of the second revolution first-hand, which strongly factors into their personality and how they view things. And well, the talking in third person. ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: Rakhim Jar'khazar Write a backstory for your character. This may include their origin, education, personality and how they arrived to the SCCV Horizon. Rakhim is Zhan-Khazan hailing from the rugged and worn-down industrial hub of Tampiska. Rakhim was born into and raised in a family with a strong work ethic and a deep respect, such as a loyalty towards the traditions and thoughts of the People's Republic. Though as a visionary Hadiist, Rakhim deviates with the thoughts into a direction of radical industrialization and progress - technology is crucial for the steps of superiority of the Party and the People's Republic as a whole, which he learned the hard way with the great hit his home city took during the second revolution. Growing up, Rakhim showed a great interest and curiosity towards mechanical technology, which was largely influenced by his parents, leading him in that direction, his parents, who both were present in the industrial sector of Tampiska. Rakhim's father is a welder in one of the many automobile factories within the city of Tampiska, producing only the highest quality of welds for the car bodies and other pieces of supporting structure. Rakhim's mother too worked within the industrial sector of automobile production, though she worked within engine manufacturing, strongly focused on fluid dynamics and hydraulics. Whether it was at the table when eating or just within his free time around the family, each and every day they enlightened him about work and the happenings and told him how good of a worker he will be one day. Growing up, Rakhim was a generally social and engaging person, though his parents kept him more in their circle, watching him grow into the worker he is now carefully and making sure only the thoughts they, and his university, the Tampiska Polytechnic University, want him to have. His parents always dreamed of him going to the TPU, as Rakhim's brother and only sibling did not quite make it; to their positive surprise, Rakhim has gotten and used his chance to study the complex workings of material engineering at the TPU. After dedicating all of his effort to studying and his social life slowly fading more and more, Rakhim has finally gotten his degree and worked within the sector of alloy casting and smithing. The hit on his social life was no issue for him in the long run, as he quickly integrated deeply with his colleagues and also maintained a focus on preserving family values and the social connections with him. Fast-forward A few years into his job, suddenly the mood changes to be rather grim - the Second Revolution hails. Day by day goes by, and Rakhim is witness to all of his colleagues being reassigned to military production facilities all across the People's Republic. Not too long after, he too gets reassigned to a weaponry research and production facility in Al'mari. Given his degree, he was assigned to a post with a mix of both scientists and engineers, experimenting with alloys for defensive use, where he got to work roughly two years, up until the assassination of President Al'mari Hadii. It was a shock for him, but not only for him, the entirety of the People's Republic. After the assassination of Al'mari Hadii and following the mass defections of naval officers a year later, Rakhim joined the Republican Navy of the People's Republic as a loyal naval engineer, where he served up until the end of the second revolution. The vessel that Rakhim served on was a supply and maintenance vessel acting as the support backbone of all other vessels in the fleet structure. After a long drag over the next eleven years, Rakhim gets to know a lot of new people, gets to see a lot of new places, and forms a lot of new thoughts. Though after everything, his enlistment abruptly ended where he briefly returned to reunite and live with his family, unemployed, up until when the horizon was built and near ready for commissioning - following a mass hiring action by the conglomerate and all of its affiliated corporations, Rakhim set foot on the Horizon as an engineer with Hephaestus Industries. How has the recent events of the Orion Spur impacted your character? Events such as the Phoron Scarcity, the Solarian Collapse or even the Invasions of Biesel for interstellar-wide affairs, while region-specific events such as the Peacekeeper Mandate, The Titan Rises or even Cold Dawn may impact your character. The Second Revolution, a grim time in the history of the People's Republic, has left a mark on Rakhim. The once-steady rhythm of his life in Tampiska was abruptly disrupted as the sudden change howled through the industrial heart of his homeland. The reassignment of his colleagues to military production facilities was a grim view and a suggestions of the trials to come, and when his own orders arrived, he found himself thrust right into the middle of conflict. In the weaponry research and production facility at Al'mari, Rakhim's skills were tested and trialed to the edge. The urgency of war demanded innovation and efficiency, but himself and his colleagues rose to the challenge. The assassination of President Al'mari Hadii was a shock that reverberated through the foundations of the People's Republic, and Rakhim felt the tremors in his own cultural view. His enlistment in the Republican Navy was a turning point in his life, forging him into a steadfast and loyal engineer. He witnessed the horrors of war firsthand, but also the unyielding spirit of his comrades and the unbreakable bonds of camaraderie that formed in the face of adversity. The end of the Second Revolution left Rakhim with a deep sense of purpose and a renewed commitment to the ideals of the People's Republic, though he wanted to see even more than he has seen during wartime, he wanted to see and experience the spur. How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? Rakhim views Hephaestus Industries with a mixture of admiration and skepticism. He recognizes the corporation's significant role in advancing industrial capabilities, aligning with his own vision of radical industrialization and technological progress. However, he remains cautious, aware of the potential for such a powerful entity to prioritize profit over the well-being of the workers who drive its success. Though overall, Rakhim does not have any stronger and more solid views on the megacorporation, it's a necessary evil to take in for him to work aboard and experience the Horizon; without Hephaestus, he would not be here; he would not get the chance to see the spur the way he can aboard the Horizon, and for that, he has to thank nobody but the megacorporation for accepting him.

Hello again. I want to preface this by saying that you should have tried to ahelp and have issues resolved in the round; most of the things outlined in this complaint could have been handled that way. Campin and I have discussed the complaint and spoken privately with ARandoDude and other involved players. After reviewing the situation, we came to the conclusion that there are no grounds for a whitelist strip—nothing outlined in the complaint warrants it. However, we will be addressing ARandoDude regarding his general behavior while playing as the CMO or command roles in general. If there's nothing else to be added to the complaint, I will be locking and archiving it soon.

Hello, @CampinKiller and I will be handling the complaint. We'll be taking a look through everything and then follow-up. In the meantime, it would be great to hear the other perspective about this as well.

This discussion was intended to be casual and informal, focusing on my perspectives and ideas regarding information I previously handed out. During this conversation, Miss Samantha Gallagher, an Investigator, intruded by recording our discussion without my consent. This unexpected recording was a clear violation of my privacy and made me uncomfortable. The situation not only disrupted what was meant to be a straightforward exchange of ideas but also raised concerns about respect for personal boundaries. It's essential that conversations, even those that are not sensitive in nature, are conducted with mutual respect and consent. This incident underscores the need for ethical conduct in professional interactions. Submitted Evidence: After asking for the recording from both Investigator and Captain, my request was ignored. The Investigator, to note, also gave me a rude, unprofessional and dismissive comment on my way. Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [x] - Yes, if required. [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: The Captain. Actions taken: The Captain took little interest in my concerns. Additional Notes: n/A

Reporting Personnel: Maria Robinson Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Consular Officer, Republic of Biesel Game ID: cvV-cT9y Personnel Involved: - Tamiris Samdereli, Captain (Offender) - Maxwell Fletcher, Chief Engineer (Offender) - Minerva, Head of Security (Witness) - SAMV Jager (Victim, Witness) Secondary Witnesses: Myself. Time of Incident: Around 2000 to 2100 Real Time: ~2300 Central European Time 28th of September '24 Location of Incident: SCCV Horizon, SAMV Jager, Unknown Sensor Relay - Badlands Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [ ] - Neglect of Duty [ ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [x] - Misconduct [x] - Sparking a Diplomatic Incident Overview of the Incident: I got up to the shift rather late, though when I did I heard gunfire from the ships weapons. I inquired on the command channel on what is happening, through yelling on common, the command frequency and hailing I quickly figured out that the Horizon shot at a nearby sensor relay, after which I immediately inquired on what was happening again. It took a while though the Captain informed me about the happenings - with their own words - "They shot at the sensor relay to enforce their claims in the sector" - after asking why exactly they did that - "Well, we have the bigger guns". Firstly I want it duly noted that *The SCCV Horizon is not a warship, or combat vessel of any kind*. The mounted ship weaponry is solely for the protection of the Horizon, as it operates alone in usually unknown and dangerous space. This case was not a usage of protection or defense, but rather a usage of wartime operations and active combat. After a bunch of more talking with some involved, I've gathered some more information: The SAMV Jager, victim of this incident, had crewmembers aboard the sensor relay - the Captain then informed that those crewmembers are to leave immediately due to the Horizon wanting to "scuttle it". The Captain then gave the crew of the SAMV Jager a *very unreasonable timeframe* to evacuate of one to two minutes. The SAMV Jager quickly informed that they had an incident and that crewmembers of their crew were injured and or adrift at the sensor relay and that they needed more time, but would comply. The Captain completely disregarded this and did not give them a different timeframe. After those two minutes, the captain immediately gave orders to shoot at the sensor relay, in complete disregard to whether or not someone was still there or hurt, into the immediate direction of the SAMV Jager. This is a clear breach of the Luna Accord, in that regard alone. This is not only beyond childish but also a very dangerous, diplomatic action, given our relations to the Solarians. This also hurts our continuous attempts at bettering our relations immensely. Submitted Evidence: Unfortunately I was rather late to the shift, communication logs should provide more insight. Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [x] - Yes [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: I asked all of the command members on their involvement: Chief Engineer Fletcher was entirely supportive of the Captains actions, and declared so to me. Head of Security Minerva did not support the actions and merely carried out their orders. Actions taken: None, besides writing this report. Additional Notes: None.

I've only interacted with your CE personally in one round, and that wasn't a lot of interaction, but I spectated quite a few rounds you played in. All-in-all you're doing a good job playing command, though in one round you've been running around with a burst rifle, seemingly hunting after an antagonist. The security manifest was rather thing, and I'm not exactly sure what your intention with the rifle was, but I highly suggest staying far away from security business if you are command and not the Head of Security. It's a fast ticket to trouble, if you're actually involving yourself with the antagonists in terms of fighting them. Though just a bit of a reminder, there's nothing else I saw wrong with the numerous rounds you played.

I want records to exist only accessible and modifiable by Corporate Representatives/Liaisons (maybe command can view 'em, but definitely not edit them, that should be CorpRep&CCIA only) in regards to the following suggestion; I can see what I can whip up and play around with the idea for a bit, ultimately it would be a way for Representatives to track employee behavior / conduct, people can see their own records and CCIA / Staff can administrate it if there's anything fishy. Maybe it'll even see implementation, who knows... Besides the records part, this is something that has to be done on CCIA (or whoever handles that exactly) side, to actually modify procedure, chain of command or whatever to give them some levels of actual authority. I do not want them to supersede or interfere with command in any way, though they should have their power one way or another. Records are very cool, I'd love them, I am willing to implement them and they'd make for great cross-round cross-rep RP too - but I still stand by the fact that there should be some power too. Player/Whitelist issue; the role is locked for quality control for a reason. If someone misbehaves, they catch administrative action / a whitelist strip. It's quite easy to backtrack.

You are correct. I could write a bunch of Incident Reports for a lot of things happening, but I reckon a lot of them would be shrugged of, binned or outright lead nowhere. And honestly? Some stuff doesn't need a permanent tick on someone's record, just a wrist slap on-shift. Yes, writing them can be annoying, especially if you write them for every teensy thing happening. Honestly, personally? I do not care. People have to live with the fact that their actions will one day or another indeed have consequences, it's how it goes. But, in the bigger sense, I feel like this is driving a lot of players away from even writing an Incident Report, even if it's much warranted. It's definitely an initial barrier that has to be climbed and can be a big problem for some. My TL;DR: I've previously in all of my posts cut into that; executives need the power to wrist slap and punish someone in-round or alternatively command has to be forced to carry those out if they're warranted, no matter what they personally thing or faxes are properly respected and answered and then get responses for punishment to be carried out. (Yes, CCIA - I know, you do these things, but sorry, I tend to have a feeling that in the past most of my faxes have been ignored without me telling someone to explicitly answer them).
