Absolutely not. I do not at all want CCIA characters to be on the station as a role that is always there. That is not the purpose of the CCIA Bureau and without drastic changes it will stay that way. The much better thing to do would be a redesign of the Internal Affairs Agent's purpose for being on the station. I'll be the first to admit, I really neglected the IAA during my time as CCIA Leader even with my countless times of saying that I was going to rewrite the purpose of the IAA on the station. I'm sure that the CCIA and Lorepeople/Headmins would be able to work out a new purpose for the IAA without making the CCIA a role on station which would also need a lore rewrite explaining why the agent would be assigned to stations instead of being a general monitor of all NanoTrasen facilities in the region. EDIT: If it wasn't clear that was directed at Nanako's suggestion of making CCIA a permanent role on station.

I for one, like it. It is an interesting take on a future super disease. How would this work in-game though? A random event that causes it to spawn?

Aboshehab roleplays great characters and can be fully trusted with this whitelist. They understand the lore from what I was able to tell when having conversations with them about it. I like their backstory about the Skrell. Definitely supporting this whitelist. May the warbles accept your poor soul.

The ERT's Captain is not the Captain of the NTCC Odin. That would also be changed to the NTCC Odin's Station Administrator. An ERT Captain is a completely separate rank within the ERT. Also, what is confusing about "Station Administrator" and how would it confuse players? It is literally the administrator of the station. Pretty simple.

Alright so, this has been suggested multiple times in the past but has gotten shot down. The thing that would make sense to add would be the role of Station Administrator/Overseer. This would be an alternate title for the Captain position since I know there is a lot of love based around that name. The title of Captain isn't very fitting within NanoTrasen considering there is already a position of Captain in ERT and it is higher than the NSS Exodus' Captain. That would cause unnecessary confusion inside of NanoTrasen to name two different jobs, Captain. Plus, the Captain is really an administrative role on the station, it would feel proper to have that as an option instead of purely being Captain. Thoughts?

I remember Synnono and their characters from the old code/station and they all were pretty solid overall. Since the return of Synnono, I really have only interacted with Karimi and they are a very good character who is enjoyable to roleplay with. I would trust Synnono to receive the Head of Staff whitelist and feel that they would be a strong Command member if given the chance. A definitive +1

Alright well obviously we are going to be needing a "The Expedition: I" poster. Skrell represent. Movie of the decade!

Alright, thanks. Noted.

Server Moderator Application Basic Information Byond Account:YouJustGotOwened Character Name(s):Here we go… AI Name(s):Pandora, I think there were a few more that just were one off names. Preferred means of contact: Discord, Forum PM. Admin PM. Pretty much that. Age:15 Timezone:EST When are you on Aurora?:Usually anytime between 2:30 to 4:00 EST or anytime between 7:00 to 12:00 EST. Weekdays. Weekends vary depending on my schedule. (My times vary but I am fairly active.) Experience How long have you played SS13?: Since January of 2015 How long have you played on Aurora: Since June of 2015 How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: Pretty much everything by now. Haven’t set up the Supermatter yet but I get the idea. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?:No. I have been in the CCIA Bureau since December 17, 2015 and the CCIA Leader from late March iirc to the middle of August. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?:Not here Personality Why do you play SS13?: To get away from stresses IRL. I like the roleplay aspect. Pretty much one of the only games I play. Why do you play on Aurora?: Well, I came here to get away from Hippie and I liked that me and my friend could experience longer rounds to “Build our fort on the Mining Outpost” I ended up staying after I got into the RP Aspect of it all. What do moderators do?: They moderate issues between the players of the server. Keep the peace between players and help set people on the right track. It isn’t all about just banning the shitters, if you are able to help them learn, that is good too. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: It means that you are held to a higher standard than the average player, as is expected with most staff. You should be aware of how you are acting at all time. Joking around is fine but when you need to be serious, you need to be serious. You should be able to handle stress fairly well as you will be getting plenty of logs. You should also be able to mediate differences between players. Why do you want to be a moderator?: Well, I recently left my CCIA Leader position (Handed it off to ForgottenTraveller) It wasn’t a punishment or anything, school was starting up, I was overwhelmed with school work and just started to let things slip. I feel now that I am able to get back to helping the server again and feel that I played my part in the CCIA Bureau. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I feel that I am a good negotiator/diplomat when situations arise. I am able to remain unbiased and am able to hear out both sides of a story. Feel that I can make unbiased decisions and remain respectful/be someone that players can look up to. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?:I feel that I have a pretty good grip on stress. I am able to manage my time and work that needs to be done fairly well so I don’t experience it that often. Anger/insults has not been a problem for me that I know of. Anything Else You Want to Add: (Do not put words here) I am aware that I cannot be in the CCIA Bureau and be a full fledged Moderator at the same time. I’m just hoping to get a trial in, see if I am fit for the job and then see what I want to do from. Anyway, thanks for reading the application. I would really like to stay an active member of the staff but I just don’t find it easy for me to do that needed jobs of the CCIA anymore (Basically doing investigations) Another note, let me know if I fucked up super hardcore on grammar. I am not a genius and don't like to spellcheck everything xD

Erm. they are talking about for specific things. Not just an overall boost in text size. That wouldn't help with what they were talking about so things of a higher severity would be more noticeable.

I would've done this a while ago if I realized it wasn't some paperwork or Cargo.

Yeah especially for Captain. I usually have all of them turned on for monitoring purposes.

Well, it happens for the Head of Personnel as well. It is just for channels that you have access to but do not command directly. Head of Personnel gets Supply and Service auto enabled. Security is an option but not enabled upon arrival. Captain only has Security and Command enabled upon arrival. Everything else is disabled. And, I know for a fact that everyone in those positions need to turn their headsets on but I was more asking if anyone else sees it as an issue.

So, this is just a minor suggestion but when your character arrives on station, could we add it where instead of manually needing to turn on every channel that you have access to? It may seem like a minor thing but I find that when I am in roles that often have access to most if not all of the channels I forget to turn them on or miss things. This could just be me but I think it is probably just a quick change and it might help others?? Maybe I'm the only one with this issue 0_0

I feel that it should be remove completely as well, if I didn't make that clear in my first post. If we vote for an Extended round that means that there should be no antagonist. It hasn't become an issue yet but I can see it being an issue dealing with making events canon and possibly CCIA investigations into "extended" rounds. Anyway, I hope that rest of the administration agrees with Skull on this one.

Okay... How is this not a bug?? That makes no sense and I think it should just be fixed through GitHub.

I am really iffy about this. I don't think I trust whitelists enough to give them lasting effect on characters. The only way I would be alright with this is if the CCIA Bureau constantly monitors any suspensions that go through. Also, there should definitely be paperwork of the Suspension and the reasoning for why you chose more than one shift documented somewhere. That is important. Also, there should be ways in place for someone to combat the actions of the Captain, whether it is just them posting an Incident Report about the Captain misusing his authority or privately messaging a member of the CCIA to review the case. I'm not really in the position anymore to immediately decide how the CCIA would handle this but it is a must about being heavily monitored. Also, if people get too out of hand with it, instead of just punishing the Captian, I would even say that the OOC Administration gets involved. Especially since Head whitelists are "Easy to lose, easy to get"

Hi! I just read through this application and I have to say, it isn't too bad. The only part that confused me was where he lived near a swamp on Aliose. Aliose is a frigid ice world that I highly doubt would be home to swamps. Besides that, I like the character and you roleplay your characters very well. +1 for the warble squad.

I've found that rule to be slightly odd. I mean, we had it on old code when we weren't even able to speak during votes so it was kind of irrelevant unless it was forced before and after votes. I wouldn't mind being able to ask for a certain round type with a reasoning why you want it and maybe you have an idea for that round. Spamming "NUKE" would be annoying but if people have ideas for certain round types, it may help with having gamemodes that we don't usually have. Still would be fine with having the staff tell people to stop spamming in OOC if there is just people in all caps typing the round type that they want.

It's not been an issue until now because CCIA are only there for short periods of time, and because you're all whitelisted people who can be mostly trusted to RP it. In reality though, there would be hundreds of CCIA agents there Where exactly did you get this information from?? It is said in the lore that there is at MOST 10 CCIA on the NTCC Odin. Also, it is completely reasonable for communications to be bounced of satellites (believe this is the reasoning given) for Central Command to hear communications. And yes, they can hear it when they want to but, there are regulations saying when the CCIA are allowed to listen in. Anything besides specific approved times we don't hear it or we don't listen and if you have an issue you fax it. Also, to address people saying that CC just listens to the ramblings of the crew. They literally don't listen unless they are tipped off by something. The reasoning for that is either CC can take things out of context and listening to communications is very unreliable

I loved reading that. I honestly that Hayden was going to reveal something about wanting to kill all the other species and then just snap Hanira's neck or something xD

Yeah, I am not sure if that was completely working when this suggestion was made. The General Notice is pretty good and as Arrow said, we can just go to that and choose one to automatically format and send.

Yeah what Chaz said. The lore isn't really failing in the parts of not having enough reasons to hate each other but it is more that the players are very accepting of the races and most of the time if you try to be racist, you just get shutdown by the rest of the crew immediately. I have been working on making very arrogant and "only Humans and Skrell are legit" Skrell characters that have been semi-successful on getting others to jump on their racist bandwagon. Now, on the part of the Human loredev having to also write lore for NanoTrasen. If this hasn't changed, the Board of Directors contains a good amount of Skrell and of course there are Humans there. So, those two races are pretty much the ones who get treated best in the company. Whenever major stuff happens with NanoTrasen or at least would he something that the CCIA had say in, Jackboot would just talk to me about it. I think the lore is pretty good currently for NanoTrasen but I'd be fine working with people who are working on NanoTrasen lore.

I feel that having a Human-specific lore developer would help greatly with making Humans actually competitive. I support Chaz being the lore dev with one condition, he continues going down the path where there have been large amounts of unrest and possibly continuing it further to make Sol have an even more "Human First" mindset. I think I've heard Chaz talk about Human supremacy stuff in OOC so I'm assuming he would continue going that way. I just feel adding more of that looking down on other races sort of feel that Atlas brought would definitely make the lore more interesting.
