Actually, looking back I do see that I did reference you two other times, after someone asked who was doing the things I had described. I immediately thought of you because you're the only person whose character I can remember specifically, and then made more direct reference after that. I agree that it's poor form to reference you while I had you blocked, and I apologize for that. I'll make sure not to do that in the future, and I should have worded what I said more generally in those instances.
-
These are the experiences with IAA that I've had, and I was expressing. If anyone is taking things to OOC it's you for making this vexatious report. In any casr I don't think any further constrictive discussion can come from this and I will await an admin review.
-
It's not against the rules to block people on discord, and I did it because the last time we argued about this you just gaslighted me and dismissed what I had to say. I found you unpleasant so I blocked you. In this instance I was talking to other people and you inserted yourself into the discussion. You weren't my opponent in that discussion, and I didn't even see your argument.
I did make two references to you however, which was in reference to the IAA thread where I expressed that I didn't want to post in it because I didn't want to interact with you, and jackboot encouraged me to do it anyway despite my misgivings.
-
I recall being told by you that the audit was for poison. Also how are we supposed to get access to the communications between you and the HoP? We're civillian chefs.
Anyway what is this even about. I've bren expressing the complaints that I have about IAA from the experiences that I've had from them. In fact this is kind of just vindicating me in my stance because you've basically made a player complaint against me for criticising IAA. What?
-
In that incident you refer to, my problem with your audit was that you were using a live crewmember as a subject to test for poison. Your character was knowingly feeding food suspected to be poisoned to a crewmember who later professed to not knowing that it was suspected of being poisoned. Your character also threatened mine with 'interfering with an ongoing investigation' when the officer showed up even though I never called them. Then later in the round we were forced by the HoP to wear gloves and aprons in the kitchen (despite not being provided with gloves) because you complained to the HoP about us. Every time I bring this up you deny these basic facts, and you seem to have no problem with lying by omission to a crewmember to feed them potentially posioned food.

I want to add my two cents to this, and this will be my only post because I don't want to deal with Corbyn.
I support the removal of the IAA role, and as an exclusive station player who doesn't deliberately neglect their duty, my experience is that the IAA role is used almost exclusively to harass players over pedantic things in an inconsistent and fun killing manner. I have been harassed by IAA for the following, but not limited to: Setting food out in the kitchen on the counter as a buffet instead of using the smart heater, not wearing gloves despite the Kitchen not being provided with gloves, not wearing an apron, leaving the fridge open, having milk outside of the fridge, having beakers outside of the fridge, not having beakers constantly covered, not having beakers labelled.
It's all just obtrusive and pedantic. These are things that I can fix for the most part, but I've been harassed over the gloves even though the Chef has to access to get these things without using the loadout, ehich should absolutely not required. It doesn't make narrative sense to demand these things and then expect us to have to beg medical for gloves to do our jobs.
I have never had a positive experience with IAA, and its because they're geared toward doing exactly the things described above. This is the nofun pedantic harassment that IAA claims does not exist. And what can we do? Make a CIAA complaint? Who are staffed by the same clique of people who play IAA?
Anyway TL;DR IAA only exists to harass players with pedantic nofun bullshit that often makes no narrative sense.

Ioraks is a fun character, and I enjoy his IC-shitposting. You've certainly fleshed him out to feel like a three dimensional character that happens to be childish, and not to the point of being gimmicky.
My main criticism is that it's sometimes possible to forget he's a Unathi, and not a human with scales and claws. I'd offer more concrete advice on where to improve in regards to this, but I'm not sure what specifically to pin down. Perhaps some of his views feel 'too' human, and I recognize he's one of the more human-custom-friendly Unathi, so this might not even be unintended.
Don't worry, Kuhwinla will straighten him out.

I'm entirely onboard with altering the ratio. My main opposition is in removing it, because then you are also removing all doubt of an Antagonist. I think that nagging doubt does make a large difference, you can see it through voted roundtypes in general, characters act entirely different, intentional or not. If it were 'Random', as I said, and displayed the round, we would be worse off with it, I'm unfortunately very sure of that. This to a lesser extent by removing the doubt of an Antagonist.
But again I'm entirely open to the idea of ratio tweaks to make Extended less common in low pop or in general.
You know what-- you're right. I'm behind just changing the occurance. Unfortunately Alb already told me that this will never happen just because, so whatever. In the future I'll know better than to make a suggestion that I think will make the game better.

I have some heavy worries about this point, yes it does mean you could be blown up by McGuffin Traitor. Why is that bad? It's not wasting energy, as your conversation is still canon. The only thing that isn't canon is him blowing you up. Secondly, the entire point of Secret is to prevent metagame. By removing Extended, you are then removing all doubt from players mind that there Is an Antag. Currently, that nagging doubt that an Antag might not be in the round acts as a metagame barrier, you don't know an Antag is in the round.
What points do you have against these? Because "Literally nothing can stop that." is not a valid argument, because if that were true we wouldn't have 'Secret', we'd have 'Random'.
I think you have it the wrong way around: Ideally people should treat every round like extended tbh, but even with extended in the secret loadout people already treat the round like it's guaranteed antagonists. That nagging doubt doesn't really stop anyone from metagaming at all. Besides, having secret people don't know what the antagonist is at all! The people who hate secret and always vote extended do so because they assume that secret is most likely antagonists anyway. They're really the ones metagaming.

But the question begs, what if people feel that Vampire or Rev should be removed from secret
It doesn't matter because that isn't what this suggestion is about.

What game modes would you like to see more of
Secret without Extended. I don't hate Extended, but I prefer other game modes. This isn't about any game mode in particular, it's about Extended vs Secret roundtype selection.

Just now, Ferguson said:
agreed, I love Roleplaying Crossfire When I roleplay Shooting security in the face; It's my favourite roleplay and I'd like less of Extended becuase I dont get to shoot people as much and Roleplay being a badass Merc.
C'mon. This is a serious suggestion, and I didn't mean to make it some kind of attack on extended or RP. You're being inflammatory and not contributing constructively.
I made this suggestion and I have all antagonists turned off on all my characters.
C'mon.

Or, at least make it much rarer, especially during lowpop rounds.
The capability of a round to be extended is always available for vote on round start and often people do vote it in. People generally vote secret when they don't want to play extended, and getting to round end and finding out it was secret extended is getting increasingly disappointing, especially on lower population rounds where extended becomes more likely due to less available roundtypes. People vote secret because we want to see a variety of scenarios with potentially random antagonists to spice up the situation and add flavour and context to our RP interactions. When people vote secret, they don't want to get baited into two extended secret rounds in a row, especially on lowpop where it leaves certain jobs with absolutely nothing to do despite best efforts to interact with others.
I guess it comes down to: People are generally dissappointed when they vote secret and get extended, and tbh everyone comes to play here because it's fun. Getting secret extended isn't fun for people who voted secret. And hell- if this results in more people voting extended instead of secret due to the possibility of extended being less likely, then so be it, more power to those people, and the game type vote distribution will more accurately reflect the kind of round people want to have.
Also, please, before people reply with: "lmao you don't want to rp on a hrp server" please consider this: RP still occurs on antagonist rounds, and so does canon RP (anything not too involved with an an antagonist). It's disingenuous to argue that no RP happens on antagonist rounds because it absolutely does.

I think this will be a good change and I really like it. It's like a better version of Vamp because we'll actually have a reason to be terrified due to people with horrifying wounds raving, instead of quiet husk absorptions deleting people from rounds, or the snoozefest of a stealthvamp succing and medical having to deliberately play dumb.

I've been interacting every shift with Thea as HoP and I really like her. She's the most impactful HoP that I've ever had- she actually comes and says hello every round, she acts with a demeanour fitting a HoP, and most importantly she actually deals with things, and I never once have gotten the impression that she's a hands-off very aloof HoP --- Several times when issues concerning... personnel have arisen she actually calls them to the office and sorts it out in a very professional manner. She's very nice, but I've seen her be severe and stern when the situation calls for it-- In general, a very good Head of Personnel from my experiences in the past week.

Or, you can say, "Is it alright, character whom I interact with on a shiftly basis-as I do not isolate myself- that I enter your department to carry out security work?" This seems to work fine for me, for most Officers who don't act like jerks to other employees.
It's a bit more personal when the security officer is willingly coming to assist you, because your characters have both gotten to know each other, rather than the officer having an artificially enforced obligation to protect you more than an engineer, because he is assigned to your area.
It isn't like these attitudes are mutually exclusive-- and am I not correct in the IC belonging and the tone of being able to be there as a deparment officer rather than as an intrusion? Also that this is legitimately lowering a barrier?

What is stopping me from interacting with them currently? The door is locked? I need to actually communicate with them, if I want to stomp around their department?
Same thing that stops me from interacting with people in their department when I'm Chef: no access. As a chef i don't have access into Engineering's swanky parties, and even if they let me in I'm still technically not supposed to be in there. Same with science, security, cargo... Etc. So yeah it absolutely makes it easier for you to interact with them. Also if you look into the IC side of it, its a bit more personal to have a security officer assisgned to protect you, they'd belong there rather than it having the feeling of an intrusion.

So, I've now seen how the new layout will work. Security offices OUTSIDE the departments they're suppose to be operating with, with the exception of fucking Medical, who has their Security office in the attic. This is so blatantly a means to strip the station of any possible security defense and almost entirely fall to the antagonist's whims-- or seek out some good old fashion LRP militia action. The idea that sticking Officer Doe in some little tiny office in the hall of each department, completely away from where the rest of that department's personnel will be, is going to make X department warm up to them, while the individual officers all compete for the office they want to be stationed at, is absurd. And it's honestly quite fascinating that no one has called this out for the blatant attack that it is in security players to try and isolate them from each other, and the departments they're supposedly going to be warming up to- but then again, it ain't really about that, it really is just about finding an easier way to give antags full control of the situation and justify station militias.
You can leave the office and have access to the department you're assigned to. Nothing is stopping you from interacting with them.

I don't like it. Punish bad antag play by reporting it and getting it dealt with, not by removing tools from good antags. I've seen fragmentation grenades used to good effect in a tasteful way by good traitors.

Stop biting my fully completed meals-- people complain when its already been bitten and I have to make new food. If I see you in the kitchen you better believe I'm going to devour you.

I don't like charging the whole gun, it's stupid. Who designs weapons that require special charge units, provide low charge count, but are also designed for mobility? It makes zero sense for anyone to have designed these, and even less sense for a company to have bought them. They are good for one thing, and that is shooting carp. Every other instance I use them in, is just to weaken things or as a scare tactic. The powerhouse of Sec is the .45 because it's the only reliable weapon on station that can be reloaded on the go and can carry a large quantity of extra magazines to compensate for it's extremely low magazine capacity.
I agree 100% The current implementation of lasers is comically impractical, and nobody would ever design, much less sell something like it.
Energy weapons are supposed to be powerful, advanced weapons. It makes no sense that they are outclassed in both damage and practicality by common ballistics on-par with 2019 firearms. Nobody would ever use an energy weapon for an aggressive action, period: how do you plan to recharge your gun after 8 shots? How does an Izweski Hegemony warrior recharge his gun in the middle of some Wasteland sand shithole with Traditionalists pouring lead on him? It makes NO sense, yet energy weapons have been demonstrated in lore tonbe widely used in military action on extended engagements: do the soldiers have to keep running back and forth to recharge their guns?
Energy weapons deserve to be powerful.
A hearty +1 for this suggestion from me.

Awesome, I understand it now.

Looking forward to hearing from the man himself!

For Moghean Unathi coming to the NSS Aurora what is generally the arrangement made for the cultural guardianship of Females? This can apply to normal-clanned Unathi, but more specifically, how is this managed with regards to the Gukuzan and Kuhwinla orphan-clans, where newly released members may find themselves foisted onto NanoTrasen stations by exploitative contracts to work off their accrued childhood debt? Would there simply be no legal guardian, raising potential awkward questions with the social standing and care of these Females, or would the orphan guild maintain de-facto guardianship through remote communication, or perhaps even have a physical representative local to an area who is technically responsible as cultural guardian for those Females?
Or perhaps am I looking too much into it, and the Females in question are just told to suck it up and manage without a legal guardian and it's not really an issue?
EDIT: After a few conversations with other people on my own, I've gotten some new insight on this question. How I think it works now is that the guardianship only really applies on Moghes and Ouerea, and when coming out of those spaces, especially to Tau Ceti, such practises would be discouraged and quashed. I've also understood that by leaving Moghes in the first place, an Unathi would cease to be culturally relevant, and as such the guardianship thing wouldn't really apply either. Correct me if I'm wrong, and I think it'd clear the waters a lot to get a definitive answer on the subject

As an Unathi player, I can say that you Humans also get to sprint for more than 2 seconds. You can also wear gloves and shoes without hassle, etc. Furthermore, why do these things have to be balanced? This isn't Dota, it's a HRP server.
