Hello. It has only been two weeks since I have applied this ban. For clarity: the reason of the ban is history of toxic behaviour(aka being a dick, which is a violation of rule 1) and complaining in OOC. I also recommend you look through what you wrote and think whether you did actually learn from your mistakes or not.

I would like to see how you fare in your trial. You deserve at the very least that much.

Good points, and sounds about right. Would really love to see how their cultures clash especially. Would love to see you on the team so we can work on that

Finally. Something me and Geeves wanted to do sometime ago but never got around to it. RIP Geeves. ? How exactly do you envision the skrell, humans and unathi on Ouerea influence each other, culturally? I'm not looking for you to write out the whole thing right here but rather interested in what kind of ideas you have in mind for this. Do you see Hephaestus playing a large role in the additions to Ouerea? That is a concept I very much enjoy and wish explored myself in various human cultures of our setting. Linguistic intricacies are often very closely tied to the culture, geography and other such factors that influence the lives of various peoples, and it's the one way to actually tastefully explore linguistic differences between everyone-- because, let's be honest, most of the time the language mechanics in the game are used to just shittalk the ones who don't speak said language. So a big plus on this from me. Anyways, +1 bro

How would you change adrenaline? @MattAtlas

Looks cute. Gauze and ointment lool MUCH better than what we have. Finally decided to add defibs?

Hello. Sorry for the long wait. Both me and Flamingo have been rather busy this week. In any case, I am going to address the points here. 1) Considering there were spiders and an unknown threat on the station, and how understaffed he was, that seems fine, even though I'd personally question why you need both the tranq and the rifle, but that is rather arbitrary in the scope of this complaint. 2) As was noted previously, there was only a cadet and an officer by this point. And the officer was watching the cameras for the most part, coordinating. With all that said, we have concluded that Xander hasn't done anything wrong here. Anything unrelated to this incident should be posted in a separate complaint thread. Will lock and archive in 24 hours unless there is anything else to add.

Hello. Myself and @Flamingo will be taking this. Give us time to sift through the logs. We'll ask some questions as well.

To preface: I'm a EU timezone player here who actually enjoys extended. So for the last few months or so, after I wake up, get my breakfast, do my morning routine, I (albeit rarely lately) log onto the server to see how the round goes and potentially join it myself. What I usually see is extended. Which is fine! As I said, I enjoy extended. But then you notice it's about 10 or so people on the manifest. "Oh bummer, that's not a lot of people. I would rather play on high-pop or at least have a round be driven by an antag. Guess I'll wait for the next round." And I wait. And then it's extended again! With basically almost the same people! You may or may not agree with me, but lowpop extended is, in my opinion, some of the worst things to experience on Aurora. And as I said, for the last few months or so, this is almost the only experience I have been getting. While a few people here say that if people don't want a certain roundtype they just won't vote for it, I can't really get behind that simply for the sheer fact that I don't want these gamemodes, yet it's all I get in the time of the day that I can/prefer to dedicate to SS13.

Rats don't really contribute much, if you want to observe the round you can already do so as a ghost, and i don't really see what kind of RP they provide anyway other than you having to use mousetraps when they steal food from the kitchen(which gets old very quickly). So that's a yes from me.

Those look nice. I don't really see the difference between that sweater sprite and the one we currently have, though? Edit: Just spotted the difference. Minimal, but still looks nice

A wonderful person and a joy to see in the round. Really glad that you came back to the server. Looking forward to your trial.

Kazimir Boytsov Responds to Necropolis Corruption Allegations! In recent weeks the Sol Alliance News Network has received credible information regarding widespread corruption within the upper echelons of Necropolis Industries. Rumors of illicit transactions, dirty money, and weaponry being sold on the black market have swirled throughout the Alliance in recent weeks, and many fingers point at the current CEO of Necropolis Industries - Kazimir Boytsov. One of the Sol Alliance News Network’s reporters managed to secure an interview with Mr. Boytsov and some senior Necropolis staff, and the transcripts are listed below. KAZIMIR BOYTSOV enters the camera’s field of view, walking towards the entrance to Necropolis’ Earth branch. Boytsov is an older man, and looks quite angry - he’s a bit pale, too. He looks at the camera, attention briefly grabbed by something. REPORTER: Mister Boytsov! What do you have to say regarding the allegations of corruption within Necropolis Industries? BOYTSOV briefly grimaces. BOYTSOV: The allegations are slander! Necropolis Industries is a venerable megacorporation with no history of this,this is slander! REPORTER: What abou- BOYTSOV continues walking, eventually pushing his way through the building’s doors with his bodyguard detail in tow. In addition to Mr, Boytsov, our reporter was able to speak with Dr. Lydumila Zavodskoi, a heavy industry researcher with Necropolis Industries that has significant sway over the megacorporation’s Earth facilities. LYDUMILA ZAVODSKOI stands behind a small desk, clad in a fancy suit. Unlike Boytsov, she appears to be well-composed. She’s also younger, and is staring at the camera. ZAVODSKOI: With the briefing out of the way, we can proceed to questioning. REPORTER: Could you shed any light on the recent corruption investigations? ZAVODSKOI: Yes, I can assure you that we are taking it quite seriously within Necropolis. Mister Boytsov has been quite tired as of recently, but we’re working to resolve the issue internally. ZAVODSKOI: My colleague in our security division can answer the question better, one moment. ZAVODSKOI steps away from the podium as a very large woman clad in a security uniform steps up to replace her. VOLVALAAD: Good evening, I am Marquess Kamilla Volvalaad. Our chief security office has placed his trust in me for this internal investigation, and I can assure you that we are dealing with issues that have been brought up by the public. Rest assured that the problem will be resolved in a matter of days. VOLVALAAD steps away from the podium, ZAVODSKOI takes the podium and begins speaking again. ZAVODSKOI: We anticipate that the current issues with Necropolis Industries will be resolved shortly. REPORTER: There have been rumors that Mister Boytsov has been ill recently, could you expand upon that? ZAVODSKOI: I assure you that Mister Boytsov’s health is being looked after by our trained professionals. Any further questions? The feed freezes on a still image of ZAVODSKOI pointing to a reporter in the crowd. The full press conference with Doctor Zavodskoi and Marquess Volvalaad can be found on our website, including an interview with Doctor Maria Klavan of the Necropolis research branch regarding supposed leaks in the megacorporation...

Thank you for applying, but I chose another applicant.

Thank you applying, but unfortunately we chose another applicant. Don't let this discourage you from trying to apply next time a position opens up, though!

Congratulations, you're accepted!

Hi! Again, very sorry for the wait. I very, very much liked your essay. I have a couple questions first: Other than Eridani and interstellar relations(which are both things I very much want to do, too), do you have ideas for any other factions in our lore? How do you feel about writing news articles? It's something we don't really do that often nowadays, which is rather disappointing, when you look at the past. Looking forward to your answers and wish you good luck. I'll be making the final decision on who to accept in a few days.

Hey, Schev! I'm glad to see your application and I really like a lot of ideas in your app. Extremely sorry about a very late response on this, but I was really hoping that other people on the team would keep you busy by asking you questions. I guess I'll just do that myself. Do you have any specific ideas on how you would write the history? While I actually don't see the "information dark age" as that egregious of an excuse, I do find it a very good idea to explain how corporations rose to power and a more descriptive history for all factions, so that everyone has plenty to go off. I also really don't want to leave Scarabs in the dark! But I also don't really know what to do for them, since adding new things to them could potentially shake them from the balance they currently enjoy. What would you do for them? New content? Events? Articles? Really looking forward to your answers on these questions.

Hello, posting here just to let you know that I DID read your application. I was really hoping for others to leave their feedback and ask you questions here, but, well, looks like noone's got any. Huh, weird! In any case, I'm very sorry for keeping you in the dark for this long. Anyway. I'd like to ask you some questions. Do you have ideas that you would like to work on, if you were to get on the team? How do you feel about working in a team? And I don't mean the human lore team-- I mean the lore team as a whole. I wholly agree with the point you make about Sol being similar to the Frontier in that there is no unified culture, identity. How would you work on this? I will be making the decision on who to accept in a few days, so I would love to see your answers to these questions and wish you luck.

Remember how I said I'll accept this and never came back? Well here I am. Basically the only problem is that it's way too long so I'll need to do a bit of thinking of how to put it on the wiki. Anyway, Accepted.

If it's not on the wiki it doesn't mean they don't exist so you really could just use this stuff anyway, but fine. It's one of the better ones, anyway. May God destroy bloat. Accepted

The backstory is supposed to be two paragraphs or more.

What should it be renamed to?

well ok but good answer i guess

Questions. 1) Does her religion play an important part of her life, and how will you reflect her beliefs on station? Is it going to be as simple as going "oh Messa" on occasion, or does it go deeper? The tajaran religions are really fun and you can honestly make very fun characters by exploring the values of these religions within a character. I'm curious what you plan to do. 2) What are her views on other ethnicities and Tajara from the other factions? Does she really care where they come from, or is it all the same to her? 3) Are you going to RP with me more?
