This is also an option that can go alongside, or on its own, but my suggestion was more of a mechanical one. Like the disruptor restrictions the Commander gets access to - something to prevent you from firing a mech's weapon with like 'The mechs internal computer flashes a warning, and does not acknowledge the command to fire' as a message in chat or whatever.

Simply as the title says. Restrict any weapons on a mech (immolator / mg / whatever) to only being useable (or maybe even printable) on red alert. Use an emag on it to disable this restriction. Far too many antag runs have been stopped abruptly, sometimes with little RP on either side, just because big stomper moment. Besides, the only reasons crew should be using mechs is if it's a scenario that also warrants red alert - you know, like antags using mechs (among various other things). One-sided combat like this just isn't fair, or conducive to good RP. Probably some stuff I've missed or not considered, if that's so, post a comment and I'll respond when I get the chance - I might even change my opinion if you present decent arguments. My bad if this has been posted before - I looked, and couldn't see it.

sorry buddy you aint got shit on me

The only people who will ever be seeing my IDs are HIS MAJESTY'S ((THE KING!!!)) revenue and customs (for when I evade taxes) and the DVSA (for when I drive drunk). I don't drink alcoholic stuff (much), my fiancée would kill me. Very faulty. I'm mute - I do not have the ability to speak. No way I (or many other people) are comfortable showing our faces to folks. Besides, I'm told I look 17 (thanks to that one girl at Morrisons that one time), so, that's out of the question. With all that considered, if I were to ever apply to become a mod (or in the future, admin) ((Which I won't anyway 'cos OOC moderation no longer appeals to me)), I would be completely restricted, even though I am, in fact, 21.

Yeah, repeat of what ASmallCuteCat said. They were pretty good, no complaints except the usual 'first round seeming a tiny little bit overwhelmed' stuff that literally everyone goes through, especially as this round was a decently high intensity odyssey round... so yeah considering that too, no complaints. Good +1

This is a very fair point, one which I didn't take into account. But you also provide a very good alternative, which I'll take and use, 🫡 (that being the saving face one, which I will probably elaborate more on when it comes to writing the character's records) Whilst Qei is a loyal citizen, their faith in it has been shaken recently, due to the issue presented in their backstory. This isn't to say they've suddenly become a terrorist overnight - they still strongly support the Federation, and their issue is moreso with the Enterprises and Corporations Qei works for, rather than the Federation itself. Their SCI would sit steadily at around 5.9, slowly creeping up or down with the minor qualms or boons they experience. They are a scientist, still somewhat in education, worshipping Weishii - so it would make sense for it to be slightly higher than the average. Qei views Diona as valued assistants, though does not have too much experience with them. The same goes for Vaurca, with Vaurca being exceedingly rare on Aliose, it is understandable that Qei only has passing opinions on both species. Overall, Qei sees the integration of the two species as benefits to the Federation, after all, if they weren't a benefit, surely the Federation would have gotten rid of them. As for the last two questions, that being their opinion on other species, and skrell born outside of the federation, it is something I would prefer to explore on an in-character basis. Qei has simple opinions when it comes to both - they don't know much about either. They've met the occasional Human on Aliose, when one happens to stumble by their streets, but, like Vaurca on Aliose, they are incredibly rare. Whilst Qei is a listener, the nlom/wake doesn't effect them as much as it would many others. This stems from the fact that they are less psionically sufficient than the average Skrell, and prefer to shut themself off from both the nlom, and the srom to better concentrate on their studies.

BYOND Ckey: LforLouise Discord username: louiseisnthome Character names: Ayishah Al-Ghazzawi, Rayhana Gawahir Species you are applying to play: Skrell ------------------------------ General Whitelist Requirements What colour do you plan on making your first alien character?: An off-white / Grey-ish white Have you read the lore pages for the species you wish to be whitelisted for?: Yes Why do you wish to play this species?: The lore of this species is very well written, and interesting to read. It is inviting to new character types that I would like to explore. The fact that they feel a lot more alien than some of the other alien species we have in Aurora helps that, too. What makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a human?: Nearly everything about Skrell is different to Humans. From the lack of biological sexes and varied ethnicities, to their language quirks and long history, they are a genuinely alien species with so many different quirks that make them different, and maybe often difficult to roleplay well. ------------------------------ Character Application Character Name: Qei Lax Write a backstory for your character. Qei Lax is a (relatively) young Xiialt Skrell, of 67 years. They were raised in Fedas'qlip, on Aliose, and began their uyi'vesi by studying hospital administration in one of AUMS' sister universities. Upon the completion of that degree, they then started a second degree, now with the AUMS itself, focussing on medical research in hydroponics - which they continue to study. Their studies would eventually lead them to Ziip'Ta Medicinal in 2463, following a small, but notable breakthrough in the application of certain plants in genetic engineering. The Enterprise quickly had Qei Lax sign a contract, binding them to work following their graduation. Some months prior to the present day, Qei Lax's breakthrough was found to have adverse reactions in 50% of the Skrell it was used in, and it was later revealed to be the efforts of a competitor skewing the results of Qei Lax's experiments. Through no fault of their own, Qei Lax's contract with Ziip'Ta was quietly amended, and they were seconded to Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals through the Work Initiative Program, where they will complete their studies aboard a Zeng-Hu facility (aka, the xenobotany labs aboard the Horizon). How has the recent events of the Orion Spur impacted your character? The relatively recent adoption of phoron in much of the modern pharmaceutical field has superseded the various pre-phoron medicines, and procedures. This is not without it's flaws, as the phoron scarcity threatens to stall the progress that has been made. Qei Lax's present studies aim to mitigate this by pivoting towards, and progressing in the field of, pre-phoron medicines, primarily through the study of xenobotany. How does your character view the megacorporation they work for? As a participant of the Work Initiative Program, Qei Lax works for both Zeng-Hu & Ziip'Ta. They view working for Zeng-Hu as a punishment for an incident they did not cause, and are understandably not too pleased to be working for them, though they are stuck with the corporation until the end of their studies in 3 years from now, and won't let that hinder their progress. They view Ziip'Ta with contempt, for allowing their current situation to happen, and for backing out of a deal they viewed as life-changing. Regardless, upon the end of their studies, they strongly believe that working with Ziip'Ta is the only way for their ambition to be sated.

CCIA Staff Application Basic Information Byond key: LforLouise Character names: Way too many, main ones are Ayishah Al-Ghazzawi & Rayhana Gawahir Age: 21 Timezone: GMT/BST depending on how the sun feels What times are you most available?: Any times, though of course daylight hours in GMT are preferred. Experience How long have you played SS13?: Since late 2020 or early 2021 How long have you played on Aurora?: Since late 2023, though I only started playing actively in early 2024, during the Silicon Nightmares arc How active on the forums, discord and/or server are you?: I'm not active on the forums much - everything commonly needed is on Discord anyway. I do occasionally log on to the forums to see the funny screenshot threads, and upvote applications. As for the server, due to the ongoing DDOSing, I'm not as active as I'd like to be, but that goes for most other folk too. I would usually aim to play a few highpop rounds a week, on various characters. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: Yes, once, for a few hours, for ban evasion, though I was mistaken for someone else. Have you ever volunteered as moderation staff for any other servers, SS13 or otherwise?: On SS13, I 'moderated' a chat for an SCP server that didn't last long, unfortunately. Do you have any other experience that you believe would be relevant to a position in the CCIA?: Unfortunately not much at all. There's some experience running groups, and administration things, but none similar to this. Personality Why do you want to join the CCIA?: A few reasons. It would be interesting to see how IC complaints are handled, and get involved with them from both an IC and OOC view. It's also a decent start to helping out the server where I have an interest to do so. What do you think are the most important qualities for a CCIA Agent to possess?: Not being stubborn, but also recognising when it's appropriate to assert an opinion. Not holding biases or grudges, then again that's more of an OOC issue if someone's doing that against players. What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is in an ongoing round?: Before I asked Bear, I assumed it was mostly handling IRs, and acting as a sort of HR agent in game on some occasions. After asking, they've told me more about what CCIA does. Whilst it includes what I've wrote, CCIA agents also handle some smaller events, and handle faxes (which I can see myself being interested in). What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is outside of the server?: Outside the game itself, CCIA are the ones who handle IRs, and give advice/viewpoints on procedures. I would assume there's also a bridge between moderation staff and players, too, but, I wouldn't about that. How do you handle stress?: It would depend on what the task is. I wouldn't fold under stress when interacting with people, or anything else the CCIA would do. How well do you work autonomously?: I work better autonomously than I do in a team. This isn't to say I don't work well in a team - I do, and I'm still good at it, but only having myself to blame for any mistake pushes me to do better anyway. Generally, as long as I'm given guidelines on what to, and not to do, I can work quickly and easily.

on one hand, i dont see a necessity for this. on the other hand, it would be cool.

+1 I was there for their first round, somewhat fast-paced operatives round that evolved into a preeeetty big manhunt & firefight, involving off-ships too. Handled it well, and the few flaws they showed were minor and are easy to iron out.

+1 a good rper, a nice person, but i think they might need to read synth lore a bit more

I haven't had too much interaction with them (unfortunately), but what I can say is, the interactions I have had with Adam Valeas have all been fun, and interesting +1
