If you want to continue a complaint on Garn's AI then please do so on another thread as I acknowledged that the AI was not good but focused the complaint on LordRaven's character who already had a decision made on them. Just want to note that the AI had reason to keep the door shut because the Nuke Ops said that they were going to use their nuke on us if we tried to evacuate and someone continued to use the consoles to call the shuttle even though they knew the threat. It was locked in order to keep people from breaking into the office and calling the shuttle (Which people were calling the shuttle a lot before the Captain arrived). The reason that the door continued to stay closed is because the Captain made it known that he wanted to call the shuttle which would've risked all the crew, property and the AI itself so I think it justifies keeping the door closed.

Full logs after the arrival of Akero'Ceita Ceeta'Pleat

BYOND Key: YouJustGotOwened Player Byond Key: LordRaven001 (This round was horrible overall but I had the biggest issue with LR’s character’s actions) Staff involved: None Reason for complaint: (I’m going to be posting all of the logs from my side at the end) When LR joined the round as his Captain, Akero'Ceita Ceeta'Pleat, almost right away, he started antagonizing the AI (Visual Basic. Not sure of the ckey) He said things like, Now, this sort of escalation was not warranted. I get it, the AI was being a little bit of a shitter at times during the round but it was a high-stake Merc round. I believe that the reason that LR’s Captain said what he did right then was because the AI made this announcement. Not the best choice of words, I get it. But, there is no reason for a Captain, a Skrell at that to act so rash and continuously threaten the AI and claim that it is rebelling. Your Skrell is allowed to be scarred from the Third Incident (Glorsh-Omega) but they likely have gone through plenty of psychiatric exams so he should be stable enough to not flip out whenever an AI is on station with them. Shortly after that exchange went down, the Captain began arguing over the Command frequency with the AI about having his office locked down due to the Mercenaries claiming that they had a nuclear device and that they would detonate it if we attempted to evacuate the station. Nevertheless, the Captain continued to order the AI to open his office and was insistent on calling an emergency shuttle even though he didn’t take the time to stop and get updated on the situation. With these logs, you can see that both the Captain and the AI were acting pretty standoffish towards each other. My issue with this again is that the Captain was basically ignoring everyone else and being insistent on ending the round. There were nuke ops, yes. But the ERT was here and the Nuke Ops threatened to completely wipe out the station if we attempted to evacuate. The AI continued to tell the Captain about the nuke being stolen and that we couldn't risk evacuating (Captain still hasn't really stopped to ask what was going on) and the Captain would say things like this. Both the AI and the Captain kept antagonizing each other and the Captain continued telling the AI that they shouldn't revolt against their superiors and how he will destroy/eliminate it if it didn't listen. I don't care how scarred your Captain is from the Third Incident. He could've been face to face with Glorsh-Omega but this is severely overreacting while there was a much larger situation going on. Your Captain should be mentally stable enough to put his distrust aside if people are assuring him that it is fine and work to deal with the actual danger. After it is dealt with, by all means. Check the AI's laws. Make sure it is operating appropriately. It was being a little extra aggressive. This is where my character (Finis Eridau) voiced his concern about the Captain's actions because he really was adding a lot more risk by evacuating the station. I still, OOCly feel that continuing to call the AI a rebel isn't helping. There are still a lot more logs that are pretty much having me make the same point. I'll put the full logs in a second post. There were some major announcements that pretty much screamed about how the AI was rebelling made by the Captain. I really don't like making complaints but I've seen this issue coming from LordRaven's Skrell and would like to see his whitelist removed until he can better figure out how to roleplay as a Skrell. I have no issue with him reapplying for it in the future though. Also, just wanted to note that I am not actually mad about this just want it to be addressed as I don't believe a Skrell should act in this manner. Approximate Date/Time: Around 5:30 EST.

I'd consider this a bug, and i will be fixing it as i go I'm not sure if nymphs are supposed to have nams, my vague understanding was that nymphs only name themselves as a collective when they form a gestalt, but i may be wrong, killerhurtz can decide that You can choose your name as a nymph when you are grown just not when you split. At least retaining your old name would be good.

Question: What about the dionaes riding on the cargo tug or Odysseus as a faster way to transport or to get around quickly? I've seen a Medical (CMO?) Dionae using Odysseus as a way to get around the areas during non-emergencies, I've reported this to the staffs twice and they seemed to have 'shrugged' it off and jotted notes down. What then? Report it to you for you to strip their whitelist? I've run into a Diona player screaming at me in OOC after round end because my quartermaster character took too long to get him a cargo tug. He claimed I was deliberately delaying and would report me to the admins next time. While I honestly doubt anything would come of this, the diona players using cargo tugs and Odysseus mechs to effectively powergame around one of their race's weakness, and the sheer sense of entitlement to do this that some are developing is concerning. I'd suggest reporting that person. They shouldn't behave like that. I wouldn't do it publicly though, either let a staff member or lore dev know.

Also, maybe make it so you can choose your nymph's name when you grow after you split. Or even before you grow, like right when you split.

[Yeah... Let's not go there. Nope. That was snowflake territory]

Fair enough

Why does it have to be from three unique people? I am fine with the whole, slowly gaining knowledge with each sample of blood but I don't think it should matter if it is from the same person or not. If you are worried about people spamming the button to drain blood, maybe just put something like a 5 second timer in-between each drain so the person has time to react after they are drained the first time. I just think if it is three unique people, you are going to have trouble, especially for races like Skrell to get enough unique players to learn the language. I like it how it currently is. There is no reason for a non-whitelisted player to be playing a whitelisted race, even if they evolve through the stages of a nymph. I do have an idea since nymphs are being overhauled, maybe make a way for the nymphs to start off in-game? Like, they spawn in the garden? Maybe to prevent people from repeatedly spawning in as nymphs that way, have like a three nymph limit that can spawn in the garden and they have to be whitelisted? I am not suggesting getting rid of growing nymphs just giving an option for nymphs to spawn in easier without a gardener. I was always under the impression that the diona nymphs within a gestalt shared their knowledge. That was just my take on the whole language thing at least, their lore dev can correct me on that if I was wrong. I just am not seeing the reason for them to lose their knowledge to communicate when they split. They still were part of the larger gestalt and had the knowledge of it.

If you want some of that local dick.

Yes, I fully support the nymphs being fixed. It used to be way better in the old code.

Taken directly from the CCIA area of the forums. It is for a person being an actual CCIA when reading this but it should answer your questions.

Well, I have seen all of Juani's characters ingame multiple times and have interacted with them with many of my characters. Overall, they are a very good roleplayer, at least from what I've seen. They seem to have a well-developed biography for their head of staff character and I believe that they are experienced enough OOCly to play in a Head of Staff role. I'm definitely giving this a +1

From previous experience, Tenenza can never post pictures correctly I don't think that is the joke.

What is your occupation? Research Director/Xenobiology What is your biological species? Skrell What racial category do you find yourself in?

Preventing them from causing other harm. Do you hold any discriminatory beliefs against another species? Would not say discriminatory. Can see what others cannot. Do some people consider you to be a specist or a racist? Yes Do you consider yourself to be a specist or a racist? No. Chooses most logical route. Have you encountered, or been the victim of, a hate crime during your time aboard the station? Yes. Have you noticed if specism is endemic to any departments? Elaborate. Not noticed. Do you consider members of the Command Staff to be discriminatory towards people of another species? Elaborate. No. Have you been the victim of discrimination by Security? Yes. Minor insults. Had them removed from department. No issue. Do you believe that there is a proper apparatus in place for reporting and handling discrimination? Of course.

Alright so, I have thought about this application a little bit, spoken with some other people about why they wanted you to have a Command whitelist. I have seen Medical Nanako in-game a little more and had a chance to interact with them more. I am going to change this to a +1 because I think you do have potential as a Head of Staff but I still don't like having so many Nanako. Anyway, +1 on this. I hope you will cut down on all of the extra Nanako.

I am loving the interest you are showing in this species. You definitely seem to understand the Dionaea as a whole. I have seen your character ingame a few times and haven't really seen any issues with them. I would say that you could play as this species fairly well. +1 really liking how much you wrote.

If someone died, this is not going to be investigated by us. I will consider this an OOC issue. It also sounds like this was an antag round so again, we do not investigate people who were involved with antags.
