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? Aliosen On a scale of one to ten, with one being never and ten being all the time, how often do you find yourself working in the same department as members of other species? 9 Do you find members of other species to be generally reliable? Unreliable? Explain. Yes. Many times quite unreliable. Synthetics. Always going on rants about how they are better than organics. Clearly wrong, Grand Councillor Weashbi Jrugl already proved, no need to explain. Tajara, low intelligence, always turning down temperatures. Never wears proper clothing or follows correct procedure/regulations. Human, most bearable. Many times quite competent. Sometimes find Human that cannot work correctly. Does not compare to rates of other species. On a scale of one to ten, with one being never and ten being all the time, how often do you find yourself spending leisure time outside of work with a member or members of another species? Rarely every spend leisure time with other species. Sometimes humans Do you have friends who are of another species? Could say so Have you gone out of your way to assist a member of another species? Elaborate. Yes. No elaboration needed. Are you attracted to members of another species? Do you have a preference? No. Illogical to have attraction in another species. Useless. Have you had romantic, intimate, or sexual contact with a member of another species? No. Illogical Have you, or are you currently, in an intimate relationship with a member of another species? Explain the nature of the relationship. No. Illogical Have you had a prior altercation of any variety with a member of another species? Please explain. Heh... Synthetics. Sure knows why. Have you taken part in any military engagement in which the opposing force was primarily made up of members of a different species? Has witnessed, yes. Not actively fought. Have you been the victim of a crime in which the perpetrator was of another species? Yes. What is your definition of specism/racism? The act of seeing the true nature of other species. 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.

One day... Eventually. Auralia does like DragonSnap more than most synthetics, though.

I'm just going to note this here but I have added the Station Directives as a printable paper in the Request Consoles. It should be in the corporate form database or whatever it is called.

Just a reminder, this is still a thing. PM me if you are interested.

Well... This is a tougher question. Officially, all CCIA are unbiased (Lorewise) but, they are still human and have emotions. I try to stay away from bias when dealing with people but I believe harsher punishments have been given out to species that stereotypically are known for doing certain things. (Like Unathi being violent or something) They may be slight specism from time to time but we mostly try to stay away from it. The whole, how would your CCIA Agent treat other species when dealing with other species is a question that we ask our applicants when they are being interviewed but we never full out say, be completely biased when a Tajara comes in here for clawing someone. Now, if the player base wants more specism to be within the CCIA Division, I may be open to suggestions but overall, any sort of specist remarks would be hard to notice, if noticeable at all.

I was going to say... If you want to make your voice louder than normal just do, me: Nanako exclaims, "I like your hair!" You have all the power you need to make it change but you just need to type some extra letters

There is nothing stopping your characters from lying OOCly. If your character is caught, expect severe punishments IC. It does help us when people tell the truth but I suppose, if you are good enough, there really is nothing stopping you. Basically, you can lie but I wouldn't encourage it.

Yes, +1 please. I have been trying to get Nur'sie to warble for some time now. Amazingly enough, this appeared and she is also making someone who was alive for Fedas! One million +1's for that sweet sweet warble. A great roleplayer and stuff blah blah. Just adding words to add words now.

Faction Name: The United Edvanite Corporate Conglomerate Faction Leader: Director Octavian Lars Faction's Government Type: Plutocratic Oligarchy Short/Long Description/History: Long after the fall of the Order of the Star, Octavian Lars was born into a wealthy family with large sway in their planet's democratic government. During his early years, Lars continued the wealth of his family by monopolizing many of the products produced on his homeworld. It was during those times that much turmoil was among the lower classes, there was often times violent riots or attacks on the wealthy. When Octavian was forty-five years old, he was considered a beacon of hope for the masses as he employed many citizens, keeping them fed and "well-treated". During those times, a coup was in place to install the Lars family as the leading family of their planet. The political leaders were assassinated, causing distress and a stronger push for the installation of Octavian. After 10 years of a battle between many of the wealthy elite, the Lars family came out on top of their much less valuable planet. Octavian proceeded to revolutionize the planet's industry, greatly increasing the quality of life to a standard level. Although the Lars family is in power over their planet, there are a few other, wealthy surviving families that encompass the leading government.

What mofo said is right.

Okay, cool. I am interested in doing one of these.

I know people wanted to make a new game and I didn't get into the old one so I was wondering if anyone would want to make another one?

This question alone decides your application. Not joking.

Alright well... This thread is just going in circles I feel. I have made my decision and the regulation is staying the same. I don't feel that your points were valid enough reasons and I still feel that the regulations make sense. If you have more concerns about this, you are welcome to PM me. I will not be responding on this anymore.

I... I am not even sure how to respond. It is a /jumpsuit/ if they are going to make a rage thread on Reddit because they weren't allowed to run around with their jumpsuit rolled down, then by all means. I will talk with the other members of the CCIA Division but I believe this will stay the same.

I disagree, I normally wouldn't do something like this it causes drama, anger and it usually all ends in tears. The only reason I posted in the first place was because of how salty I got over it but the more I look at it the more I think, "This only hurts players". I'll give an example, say its your first day playing on the server a sec officer stops you because you have your uniform rolled down and charges you with neglect of duty, most players would think "Oh that must be a joke" its such a silly rule to enforce and it takes away from a character. But lo' and behold it's not and you get arrested, most new players would ether leave or complain to the admins, if the ones that complain find out that yes it is indeed a law they'd probably leave. Thats just one example but do you see how damaging something like that would be to the servers reputation as a whole if it happened to the wrong person? And that's only one of the problems with this regulation but I feel its one I haven't covered in my previous posts. What do you mean, "If it happened to the wrong person" I highly doubt that forcing someone to roll up their jumpsuit would completely destroy the server's reputation. I feel like you are making this a way bigger issue than it really is. I still am not really convinced with having this changed.
