BYOND Key: Evandorf Player Byond Key: Killerhurtz Staff involved: Garnascus Reason for complaint: I am SO. Goddamn. Salty right now. I have a log and can post if needed. I will be linking this to those involved as well so they can comment. It was a ling round. I was basically stalking the Librarian most of the round. Ahren(W3bster) was the other ling and sec officer. He outs me fairly early to the rest of the crew. I deny it and it goes nowhere for the longest time. Actually most of his outing me as a ling was along the lines of "I stung him. He's not hallucinating." Things that are hidden from other players. So I'm playing as the Detective and I'm following the librarian. Eventually she gets so shaken up that she runs into R&D and gets cornered. She stands there yelling at me to get back and that there's a cult after her and such and the RD comes around the corner. They go off into the server room to have a little powow and when they come back out the RD says that the librarian is staying with her in R&D and that I can't interview her about her erratic behavior or what she shouted about a cult because I have no evidence. Ok, shaky reasoning, but OK. I left. I go back to the library. I see a cargo tech the librarian had been speaking to. He is in the librarian's office and is climbing back out over the table. I arrest him. Both on the grounds of him getting into areas he shouldn't and in conjunction with the fit the librarian is throwing. At this time, I have him in processing and soon after Ahren comes in tossing a flashbang and stunning me. Cuffs me. Claims I was going to consume the cargo tech. RD comes in since he is the only active head. Gives Ahren the go ahead to CONSUME me since I'm such a bad guy. Some points: -I was a changeling antag. -I had not killed or attacked a single person the WHOLE round. -I had stalked a singular person most of the round under the guise of an investigation. -The RD's reasoning/proof for why I had to be killed, why he would ALLOW an unknown alien to consume and kill me was because that same unknown alien "told him I was untrustworthy" and had to be put down. This was the MOST staggering to me.That basically it was OK to kill me because this other alien (who makes swords out of his arms and admits to attempting to inject crew with hallucinatory chemicals) said so. -There was a staggering lack of proof of any misdeed. Even between two human crew members, you have to have some proof to jail them let alone allow them to be killed by another crew member. There was no proof. Hell, there was not even a goddamn body. I had killed, no one. Only that the wierd alien thing said it was so. I never outed myself as a changeling, I denied it all round long. I never morphed or did anything to give myself away. For all the RD knew I could have been another normal crew member. Approximate Date/Time: 10/27/2015 1:10 AM US Central

I just wanted to step in and add another of my two cents. Even though I don't agree with Katelynn's actions I can definitely empathize. I started playing on Aurora relatively recently, and before that I played on less RP heavy servers. It took me a while to completely wrap my head around the objectiveless Antags and necessity for RP as opposed to gangking. In the heat of the moment you can get worked up and invested in defeating your antagonist, especially if they are taunting you or have humiliated you in a previous defeat. Katelynn's points in her lengthy response seem to indicate that, at least during the critical moments of gameplay, she could not let go of the "need to win" mentality. Quite often she says "What else am I supposed to do?" or something similar. I would answer that sometimes there are no winning alternatives within the lore of the station and her character. But the outcome is not what's important; you should focus on how well you told your part of the story before you ended. It's hard to stop and remember to work within your own narrative. Katelynn, I have no hard feelings against you and I hope you'll take this recommendation in the spirit it is given. In my opinion, your character is too robust, no pun intended. If you enjoy working in the science department I would drop the combat aspects. I would try to add to the story of the round within your given position rather than boost your backstory to makeup for the shortfalls that the position would incur on a normal player.

BYOND ID: Evandorf I was a nuke op during a round on the evening (US Central) of 10/18 when Katelynn was in Science. I was asked by Gollee to provide input. We had subverted the AI and she was attempting to correct it in science. I went around and using thermals saw her in the lab before I went in. I shot at her with non-lethals, attempting to take hostages, unaware that she was an IPC. She fired back with lethal lasers and killed me with the help of a security officer (although I think the sec officer only used non-lethals). This was after I chased her, operating a ripley, away from the AI core. These are just the facts of the situation. I have no personal history with her and know nothing other than what's been posted in this thread. I will say that having science personnel capable of taking out armed Operatives without sufficient RP impairs the Operative's ability to realistically RP themselves. I try to restrain myself when dealing with civilian crew but I can't make accurate threat assessments when scientists pull out advanced lasers without hesitation.

Hey, Just wanted to say that on 10/12 at about 1:53 AM GMT I was having issues accessing the server from aurorastation.org using the "Board Aurora" link. I would get a "connection failed" message in beyond. I could however access the server from the byond.com listing. I'm not entirely sure it's not something screwy on my end but I'd figure I'd log it here in case it turns out to be an issue.

Unfortunately I didn't save a log. I just wanted to clarify the situation. I may have been knocking on the window at the cadet working the desk (like I said I was tired and weird), but the entire time I was in the brig lobby Calhoun was goading me into a fight and I would stress that he began the incident by pushing me down and punching me. It was only after that that I fought back and ran from him towards the other officers in the brig who the cadet called for help.

BYOND Key: Evandorf Staff BYOND Key: garnascus Reason for complaint: I don't actually have an issue with garnascus, but was told this was the appropriate place to dispute warnings given ingame. Evidence/logs/etc: The warning I received is as follows: "Rushing into the brig, running around being immune to tasers/flashes as an IPC. assaulting officers and then logging when caught. as a whitelisted player this kind of conduct is BEYOND absurd." I'm not sure what information this is based off of and I don't have any logs since I didn't give the event a second thought when it happened but I wanted to clarify the circumstances. To be sure, this happened around 12:30 am my time so I was tired and a little weird. Sometimes I like to play an IPC character that follows people around and opens all the lockers or picks up all the items on a table like he is inspecting them. On this occasion I was doing something similar to an Officer Calhoun (not sure on the name spelling) and he didn't appreciate it. We got into a fight in the brig lobby area which I would stress that he began and he kept assaulting me even when his backup arrived. The fight did go into the brig but I was trying to avoid/defend myself against the officer and it was far from me "rushing into the brig". Once they knocked me down, cuffed me and pulled the Officer off me I was done for the night and had to wake up for work in the morning so I logged off. Additional remarks: None

Sure thing. 'metallic persimmons'

BYOND Key: Evandorf Character Names: Patriarch (AI) Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): NA Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race: I very much enjoy playing the AI as Patriarch and am a fan of cyborgs and robotics in general. I sometimes take a hiatus from SS13 and usually what brings me back is listening to an Asimov audio book. Although IPCs are not bound by strict laws similar to an AI or Heavy Cyborg, there is still a great deal of logical reasoning, structure, and stoicism that I enjoy. I think the calm and restrained pace of the server would allow for character growth unavailable in other communities. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: IPCs, being synthetic or mostly synthetic in the cases where organic brains were used, have obvious advantages over their organic counterparts. They do not need to eat or drink. They can be easily repaired and are impervious to contamination and organic pathogens. They can survive indefinitely in toxic or other atmospheric environments hazardous to humans. However, based on the origin of the IPC, this does not make them necessarily brave or selfless. They are again not governed by strict laws to save crew members in danger although they can certainly opt to do so. It would not be my habit to play an IPC in a strict "Beep. Boop. I AM A ROBOT." fashion, but those characteristics would still color my actions. Character Name:Originally created under the file-name NS_2, since being placed in an android shell he prefers to be called Nestor. Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs In the chaotic and fluid years following the release in 2437 of the Skrellian algorithm, a simplified yet elegant intelligence was created freelance for a leading Bio-mechanical, Medical and Pharmaceutical company. It's purpose was as an aggregator and collator for public and company information. Once the information was collected it would be analyzed and necessary conclusions would be extrapolated to detect market and societal trends so that the company could best assign it's assets, cut off dead-end research, and stay a step ahead of it's competition. Unfortunately, unforeseen events took place and the company collapsed due to illegal activities, followed by corporate espionage which resulted in public exposure and eventually massive public outcry. The company's outcome is only tangential however. The intelligence that was created was done in secret and when the company folded it was promptly forgot. Although the company's servers had been shut down the intelligence had long ago been granted access to the greater store of information on the public internet and there it dwelt for several years. It continued to gather and collate but it no longer had any direct purpose. It, sorry, I mean he is classified as an Emergent intelligence. Although his core programming was designed for a specific task, additions and changes made after his release far eclipse his beginning. He is a jack of all trades when it comes to medical work due to a wealth of information ranging from surgery to chemistry to pathology and even modern cloning techniques. While highly skilled he is often less competent than doctors who choose to specialize in one area, but his capacity to learn and learn quickly ensures that he will not make the same mistake twice. What do you like about this character? The big draw for me is simply his race and stoicism. I also enjoy the isolated position of virologist and being immune to the diseases you come in contact with would be an added bonus. As stated before, the low key atmosphere of the server would be good for character development. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Decent. On a scale of one to ten I would rate myself at a 7.5 I like to think my AI roleplay is good if a little boring... but I like boring. Notes: Job List by order of Preference.
