  1. I actually disagree with that, greatly. Black knows when paperwork is needed and I have really never seen her be a "total bitch who makes everyone's lives miserable." I am not trying to call you out on that but I would rather see feedback instead of just name-calling. Like, what you find wrong with the character. Also, paperwork isn't inherently evil. It is there for a reason and when I am in Medbay, I say she uses a fair amount of it. It makes everything more organized in my opinion
  2. I think that Serveris is a very good roleplayer and knows how things work. I fully support him for getting the DIonae whitelist. There really needs to be an increase of DIonae on the server. I rarely see even one on station at peak hours. +1

    [RACE] Peleng

    Now, I think Delta really cleared up some of the issues and the Peleng look like a VERY interesting race. I would just like some sort of person with the power to get this implemented to weigh in on this. It seems kind of pointless to worry about issues that are hypothetical when we don't even know if the Peleng with be considered. That is just my opinion on this discussion. I am fully in support of having this added in one way or another.
  4. I agree, that would not be a possibility. I was more thinking along the lines of some sort of Christian unity. I mean, instead of having these "Old Religions" what do you guys think of some sort of evolution of religions? I am drawing blanks of some examples but just something that progressed over time that has become less and less like it previously was.
  5. Sorry, I didn't mean to overlook you. I agree, Islamic sects would likely never see eye-to-eye with Catholicism and Orthodoxy, and neither would they see eye-to-eye with Islamic religions. I agree that the Sol Alliance shouldn't be monolithic, but it doesn't rule out one religion being dominant enough to eek out state-sponsorship. State-sponsorship is also a good catalyst for the spreading of a religion (generally, not always). And, of course, the legislative legitimization of a religion to the state would by no means make all other religions vaporize. And over 80% of Muslims are Sunni, so I would assume if a sect of Islam were to become state sponsored, it would be that. EDIT: all though it is debatable, I could see a unified Orthodox-Catholic church in the next four hundred years. Relations between the churches following the collapse of the Soviet Union have been exceptionally well. The face of this church is further debatable, as it would likely be a compromise of some sort on a spectrum between the two with Westerners keeping their liturgical traditions and Easterners keeping there's, similar to Greek and Latin Catholic differences today. The Pope would likely be a patriarch with some sort of decreased papal supremecy, yet still higher than merely "first among equals." The thing about the merging of Orthodoxy and Catholicism, I feel could be extremely likely if relations stay on the same path as they have been. As far as I know, relations have had a MASSIVE improvement in the last century or so, I don't see a problem there. One thing I was thinking is, there could still be the Abrahamic religions, no matter how minor they may be in the future but there could be more enlightenment focused, peace shit. I don't fucking know, I would like to see some imaginative evolution into some fictional religions though. Just something away from the norm but not too insane. More like, a code of morals instead of a unified religion.
  6. I don't really know what I was expecting. But I line up exactly with the Green Party xD
  7. I think that Loow would be a very good addition to the Moderation Staff. He is very mature when he needs to be but he can also take jokes unlike some other people. +1 I would have to say The Skrell are finally moving to the upper ranks! Oh no!
  8. I was sort of missing that too. I don't think it would be too difficult to just change the name back to what it was. Supporting changing it back. Not sure what effect it would have on letting people know we are a roleplay server though, chucklefucks are chucklefucks

    Bad joke

    Sa I did the same thing when I first read this.
  10. No, we do not stoop that low.
  11. Shshshshshh. Don't let the people know. Slips a twenty
  12. It isn't even April fools yet for me. Dum dum
  13. Elyra News Network “For Greatness, We Strive” Hegemon Forces Pull Back 3.31.2458 Hegemon Forces Pull Back The first reports came in around four days ago that the Hegemony Forces that were surrounding the New Ankara system began leaving the system. First, it was only thought that small groups of vessels were leaving the system, perhaps heading somewhere else to terrorize. Now, almost all of the Hegemony Vessels have now vacated the New Ankara system. At the moment, it is unknown as to what sparked this sudden movement out of the system but reports have been coming in from neighboring systems of insurrections within the Semi-Hegemony territory. With the last of the Unathi leaving the system, Commander Al-Jarraden has ordered a reinforcing of all Elyran borders. There will now be stationed patrols on the lookout for any unknown vessels. In a part of his speech, Al-Jarraden has said, "This time, we were unprepared for a threat within our capital system. Now, we have our navy organized to deal with any issues that may threaten the security of the Republic." Al-Jarraden went further into detail about recruitment for the Elyran Defense Division and about possible monetary benefits for those who join in the time of need. Further information is to be released about the new recruitment process that has been put in place. For further information please head to the EDD's website on the extranet. (Link provided here) After the recession of Hegemony forces, resources have been sent to shipyards surrounding Persepolis in efforts to reinforce the Elyran Navy. Minister Kwadwo has also announced the movement of Elyran Ground Soldiers to surrounding systems to prevent possible invasion from both the Izweski and the pirates that have become bolder in their actions since the Izweski began their assault on the Frontier. For further information on the systems under Elyran protection, please head to this link, (Link provided here) Here there are many links to other articles on the same topic written by the Elyran News Network. There are also links to government websites and other major issues.
  14. I understand what you are talking about but, I do not believe that that is a thing in our lore's current technological level. Of course, there is a chance that I am wrong (happens) but as long as I have been here, I have not heard of that being a thing.
  15. Well then, this clearly shows that I am indeed the greatest.

    [RACE] Peleng

    Yes, that is another point with the non-humanoid species. The thing is, yes, this is a bipedal creature but, I think that humans, in general, would have a harder time accepting a non-humanoid species than say, many of the species we currently have. If suddenly, out of nowhere a massive quadrupedal creature with tentacles that they use instead of hand came and visited humans, I predict that it would be very difficult for humans to even accept working with such creatures. I would be fine with having such diverse creatures in the lore as a background race that is not seen on human stations but such crazy creatures do not make sense to me. Although, I would be fine with creatures that are slightly less human-like but only to a certain extent.
  17. I would support this purely on the fact that I have seen, as a ghost, the entire locker room bathroom used as a feeding ground for a vampire. At least 20 monkeys were in there. They were talked to by the staff but I don't think there needs to be a way for them to just farm as an antag and then come out of nowhere 1:45 minutes into the round and just wreck stuff up. I just think that currently, people just use this as Lings and Vampires to power game.

    [RACE] Peleng

    Well, Delta DID say that the race would not be playable, at least not right away. Honestly, if this gets pushed back to not be added for a little while, it wouldn't be too bad of a thing as they would still be within the lore. Once it is in the lore, I feel it would be a good way to make the species more known and give them a longer time to adapt to Human culture. I would say, after a decent amount of time, they could start being added in as low-level jobs or things like that. It would be pretty cool to see things progress in ways such as that. It may not be what Delta has in mind but since the description says that they are known more in the frontier and outer systems but not fully. Say, they get in contact with the main human things like the Sol Alliance or Nanotrasen (since they apparently are really good traders) That would be a good way to slowly hear news stories about meetings between the political bodies or stuff like that. Eventually, some kind of deal happens where Nanotrasen allows a few Peleng onto the station as a trial. Specialized jobs and stuff like that. Not really sure, I am just throwing around ideas. I just cannot say enough, this is a really well thought out species. Like, I would be satisfied if it just stayed within the lore. (Not preferred after a while but for now I am fine with it)
  19. Yes, she is very experienced in the Medical and Research fields. Especially Xenobiological fields. The downside of this is of course, she is VERY unrobust to the point where I purposely aim a tile over to simulate her shitneas. Also, at her age, it really isn't about the payment anymore it is more the experience of researching. It is more convenient for her to research as a role in the Xenobiological field instead of Captain. Did that sort of explain it?

    [RACE] Peleng

    Delta... This is scary how well thought out this species is. If Skull is looking to add another race, this is by far the one I would go with. It is like reading a damn book xD
  21. I am not in support of it whatsoever. I don't think there really is a reason to get rid of it because a lot of people like Extended.
