Can you explain your reasoning behind this, aside from "my character is from there"? How do you think keeping earth would help the lore?

Ninja's a terrible gamemode, it was meant to be a random event antag, I'm surprised it was ever put into secret. It's a solo antag like wizard, but without the wizard's ability to create fun roleplay.

I plan on retconning it. It's silly, when there's hundreds of other worlds out there that are earth-like, and no corporation is ever going to pour funding into that. With all it's natural resources exhausted, turned into a smog-filled ball of dry earth, there's nothing worth restoring. Doing this will push characters away from the status quo of earthman, and may drive them to create their own planets and areas from which they originate, thereby fleshing out the lore further. I'm more than open to leaving it how it is, however, if that's what people feel will contribute to lore best, and if they can explain why.

Cuckwork Cult is balls in comparison to realcult, due to how dumb it is.

Ta babe Having a quick gander at that timeline, I'd scrap everything pre-Second Space Age, and replace it with a 'Corporations are now mostly in charge' blurb. Seems like needless bloat of the lore with stuff that'll never ever be referenced. I'd modify the Second Space Age stuff to be in keeping with that, Sol Alliance stuff seems to be fine at a quick glance, Transstellar stuff too. First Interstellar War seems fine too and fits in with what I have in mind later, though it'd need to be modified somewhat. The rest of it seems pretty fine, aside from Nanotrasen appearing as a benelovent overlord. Oh, and I'm nuking earth. Again. The destruction and uninhabitability of earth is a common trend to force humans out among the stars, and I want it to return to that way. It also makes people come up with a backstory for their character and more development, rather than "he is earthman".

Good to know that you'll completely refuse to work with me in a professional manner if I get accepted, a great quality for a member of a team. Being the complete opposite, I would've been more than happy to work with you in a purely professional manner, because that's what's involved with being part of a team. I've taken your opinion on board, but it doesn't really matter to me due to your attitude displayed :^) I've not actually had the chance to look at Delta's timeline, it seems like the thread has disappeared as a result of his forum account deletion. If someone could link it to me, that'd be great. Due to this, I won't know whether I'll be keeping or tossing the timeline, but I do intend for humanity to become more expansionistic, as is a common trend in history, as well as pushing their scientists overtime to develop new technology, to engage in a 'cold war' of sorts with the Skrell. I plan on working corporations more into the humanity lore, as they appear to be large enough to hold a great deal of power within planetary governments through bribes and blackmail, rather than governments seemingly being completely disconnected. As a note to the crass and unapproachable, I'm more than approachable. I'm usually available on Discord if people have an issue with me they want to iron out in PMs, or if they have anything to offer, or just want to chat. I'm willing to take on board constructive criticism and roll with it, as well as coordinate with others to create lore that weaves in well with current situations. I'm professional in situations where it's needed. Be a dick to me outside that, and I'll be a dick right back, simple as. Treat others how you want to be treated.

Gimmicky and funny, in the true spirit of SS13.

The timeline, turning people's thoughts into coherent structured sets, planet lore, Soghun, Skrell.

I plan to make a more human-centric base for them, as an independent species, as well as fleshing out human planets and their history and culture.

You can taste ... death John Doe gasps! John Doe gasps! John Doe seizes up and falls limp, his eyes dead and lifeless...

Not involved in this, but I'd like to mention something, about you saying the AI was unfindable: The pinpointer can locate a malf AI when Delta is declared.

Holoparasites are toptier, yes please. It gives a traitor some support in the case of Security going suns out guns out, and can create some nice roleplay situations.

Does the fact his first thought - and first attempt - was to try and kill me make that reason enough? I went on the AI's words, why he had it fully active with the ninja's ID on during a code-red situation where there were still ninjas is beyond me. There was no way to identify them, and we already had them identified as dangerous. There was no prior declaration that they were sciencing it, they knew the risks when they decided to wear it.

You'll need to state your reasoning for this. Watch out, Captain! We're derailing the topic to irrelevant areas! I can explain this one easily. IPCs do not have unlimited information/database for everything. You cannot simply pick up an object, scan the object, then say, "Oh. I know this. My data says this and that. Therefore, I am compatible." It doesn't really work like that. The Ninja Suit is suppose to be one-of-a-kind, you decided to use the ninja suit's module and defense to your advantage. You were acting robotically, then humane, then back to robotically, changing characters' feelings based on your OOC feelings. This is only a warning, so you can just let it drop. Even though, if it is dropped, it will still stick on your notes. IPC Loremaster should be able to explain clearly of IPCs and what we expect from them. I toggled the suit on, then toggled everything but the gloves off. I'd assume hardsuits have some sort of standardisation, which I said to the staff member in question and they accepted it. At no point, unlike the previous wearer of the suit - looking at the Scientist who toggled the dead man's switch on - did I touch anything in the hardsuit panel. I did not use it, it's modules, or any defences it had to my advantage in any confrontation. At no point did my characterisation change. I played Gainsboro how I always play him. I'm not dropping this warning.

You'll need to state your reasoning for this.

They declare what context is applicable actually, and that's what it seems like in this case. You shouldn't be playing security if you can't take orders from a head of security or captain. And the person in question shouldn't be playing head of security if taking a player out of the round permanently is their first thought. They don't control regulations. A crime is a crime, especially to an IPC with a strict set of programming. If they both are order you to do something then you have to do it I don't believe I do, as I had IC reasoning not to.

One week since last response, still waiting.

I don't understand why his internet connection resulted in a ban here. Syion's one of the best Wardens I see on a regular basis. We don't ban antags for logging out and turning the round into extended, we don't ban players who ghost out of spite when someone soulshards them or otherwise puts them in that position, so why are we banning someone without the intent to leave?

If I recall, I was Gainsboro during this round. Helper was strolling around after being ordered by Samara Kaytam to massage Security officers. He gets arrested by one and thrown into a cell, managing to escape, stunning the HoS in the process. Instead of further injuring them, they run around like a headless chicken whilst myself and the rest of Security do the same, with Helper running into maintenance with the HoS' ID. Myself and the HoS follow, the HoS goes the wrong way whilst I pursue, in true Security fashion. On the way through the maintenance, being the filthy powergamer I am, I grabbed the Doublebeard Rum from the crate. I corner Helper on the Bridge, smash him over the head with it, and cuff him in a timely fashion. It was a great chase, and Helper never did anything that would hurt anyone. Helper manages to escape twice more whilst I'm not present, due to what I would assume was incompetence from Security and the HoS. On the second time, he gets ioned and killed, which appears to be a huge overstepping of authority, killing an entirely non-hostile crewmember who'd done nothing but lightly bother Security by trying to massage them. The messaging itself seems more ironic than not, take it with a pinch of salt, because that's how Grey always talks. All Security had to do to take the IPC down nonlethally was nicely ask the bartender for a bottle of something, but it seems people are happier to kill than to put a little effort in to keep someone in the round for roleplay purposes. Edit: Different round, it seems. People seem to have a habit of killing people for not trying to kill them. Did the pot just call the kettle black

Almost two months on, still waiting for a resolution on this.

HoS ordered them arrested, so I complied. Needs must. The item had been misused and resulted in further problems - the biohazard - onstation, which is why it was confiscated, as I stated previously. I think you got lucky with just a warning. Expectations of Security, not rules. Plus, I believe I wasn't in the RD's department whilst he was screeching at me to return the suit, so that doesn't apply. This was me, again. I stated the reasonings for not returning it. Over and over again. The Captain and HoS don't have the right to declare what is and isn't criminal. Both weapons I expended stunning the Scientist in the ninja suit, rather than dealing with the blob, which was my original purpose for being there. So, you were going to kill me for saying no and providing reasoning for it? That's reassuring to hear, could a staff member look into this? Lucky I didn't just gun you down, since you were so happy to kill me. If it was a mutiny situation, I would've dealt with you there and then, not responded to the call that the second ninja was outside the Bridge. Actually, no, that's an incorrect statement. Myself and two other officers got the ninja on the floor and I pinned him. During the course of this, you repeatedly prodded me with your inactive stun baton, before turning it to harm and smashing the incapacitated ninja whom I had pinned to critical.

I'm not complaining about the staff member, I'm complaining about the note itself. The warning did nothing, because I didn't do anything worth a warning. I've been banned over notes before on Aurora. Recently, a player was sec-jobbanned due to their notes. Tell me it doesn't have an impact? Research Department were misusing it, as I previously stated, so it was confiscated. As an officer, the Director has no jurisdiction over me, as is made clear whenever you join as a role. I explained my reasoning to the HoS and he ignored it. I was busy actually doing my job rather than listening to the people trying to arrest me for doing it. The ion rifle was kept on my back at all times unless fired. I only fired it when the HoS was chasing me before the detainment of the second ninja in order to stop him from stopping me doing my job, and at the officers in the Teleporter when I was on the way to detain the third ninja, to stop them from stopping me doing my job, again. I'm curious why they thought an IPC who had done nothing but assist the station and stop hostiles all round was killworthy, looking for their valids maybe? I know you were the one who called them, I was literally standing right next to you when you doddled over to the intercom and screeched into it, without giving me a chance to explain what I was doing - going to Telecomms to detain the third hostile, who had just deactivated comms. Plus, isn't this the kind of thing that gets dealt with through IC reports, rather than staff intervention, seeing as at no point did I break a rule or overstep?

BYOND Key: Chaznoodles. Total Ban Length: Warning. Banning staff member's Key: Hunnewle. Reason of Ban: hunnewle 2016-09-21 18:42:19 Self-antagging behavior, put on a deceased ninja's suit. disobeyed orders from HoS (as a officer under them). Reason for Appeal: I wass Gainsboro, officer. I spent the first part of the round doing my usual thing. Ninja comes to the Brig, HoS orders them arrested for contraband suit. I tase them down, suit prevents cuffs, so we pin them until the suit is removed by a doctor, at which point they are cuffed. I spend a decent amount of time with the suit, before handing it to the HoS, and going about my usual. At some point after this, two more ninjas arrive, and say they have a hostage. A biohazard blob is reported by the AI at Medbay, so I run over to deal with it, with an ion rifle and energy carbine. As I'm about to enter the area to deal with it, the AI reports one hostile in Science, so I gun it over there. When I arrive, I see someone with the name Bluespace Technician via their ID, wearing the ninjasuit. I tase and baton them down, using all the charge I had in the process. It turns out to be a scientist, they whine, and eventually remove the suit and hand it to me. I start running back to the Brig to dump the suit and charge my weapons, when the HoS starts ordering me to give the Scientist back the suit. I refuse, explaining why - that the Scientist was misusing it, as well as resulting in me being unable to deal with the biohazard. He orders me arrested, so I dump the suit in EVA under the Breacher suit, as it's the least likely place to be checked. I return to the Brig to charge my weapons to go deal with the biohazard, HoS corners me and orders me to return the suit, then starts counting down. At this point, another officer reports a hostile outside the eastern entrance to the Bridge. I grab my weapons from the charger and start hightailing it down there, reasoning it's more important than talking to the HoS, thinking he'd prioritise too, in which I was thinking wrong. He tries to flashbang me in the corridor and fails, as a result of sunglasses. He then draws a gun on me, so I ion him with the rifle and keep on going to the location called. When I arrive, the second ninja is there with a locker. He pulls a sword and I call his bluff, resulting in him being stunned on the floor by the combined efforts of two officers and I. The HoS arrives and tries to baton me down, not remembering his baton has no charge as a result of the ion. Instead, he harmbatons the unconscious ninja to critical. I drag the ninja to Medbay, but there's no staff and Medbay is vented as a result of the earlier biohazard which had been left to grow because I hadn't been able to deal with it, so I run over to robotics with the ninja and get the suit sawed off by the roboticist. I deposit the ninja at Medbay, suitless, and deposit this suit in Evidence, reporting it to everyone on the Security channel. The HoS asks where the other suit is, and I say it's in a safe location. He orders me to return it again, I refuse, justifying myself with the previous reasoning and his actions. I go on over to EVA, and decide to play about with the suit a bit. I get as far as toggling it on and off, playing around with toggling different parts. I end up with just the gloves active. At this point, the AI declares over announcements that I'm dangerous and need to be detained, so I slap on my armour vest, grab my weapons and scurry into Maintenance. AI can't locate me because I'm wearing one of the ninja IDs. At this point, it declares that there's a hostile on Telecomms, and comms goes down at that moment. I take up the mantle once more and jog over to the teleporter. Outside I encounter an officer and the RD. The officer declares that I'm to be arrested, I explain what I'm doing quickly and concisely. The RD promptly walks over to the nearest intercom and screams out where I am. I ask the AI to open the teleporter using the same intercom, and it does so. I'm setting the destination when it cuts power and bolts the door. Shortly after, the Captain walks in, with an engineer (if I recall), two officers and the Detective. They declare I'm under arrest, I refuse politely and explain my reasoning. It's ignored and they pull stun weapons. I pull the ion rifle and ion them, to stop them shooting me. The detective and officers promptly pull pistols fully loaded with lethals and unload them into me. I pulled my carbine and fired off taser shots at them, not switching to lethals. I die as a result of the lethals. As it turns out, the previous wearer of the suit had toggled the deadman's switch on, most likely the scientist I confiscated it from. It promptly explodes, breaching the teleporter, resulting in the deaths of everyone inside. I adminhelp about the lethals, and after a long discussion about 'how IPCs shouldn't know how RIGsuits work' and 'Using antag gear is against the rules', I get slapped with a warning. Long story short, I didn't do anything nor did I escalate situations, instead trying to do my job as best I could whilst trying to prevent others from dicking around. Neither the HoS who beat an unconscious man to crit, nor the officers who went full lethals on me resulting in multiple deaths, were PM'd, let alone punished. I'd like this warning removed as a result of overzealous administration, and failing to listen to the explained situation, as well as something done about the HoS beating someone to death, and the officers causing multiple deaths without need.
