SmokedFish

It's one of the main reasons. I kept pressing ; when i was supposed to press : as an AI and kind of embarrased myself...It was really annoying..I also could not see the text properly but whatever.. Still stalking the forum.....

I decided to quit like almost a month ago. Kinda left me longing for it. I keep stalking the forums, imagining scenarios, I already had a bit of a tsundere relationship with the game before i quit it, but even after i did I can't get it out of my mind. There's so many things i dislike like the interface, i mean that DAMN radio button is the #1 reason why i left the game. It's hard to keep up with all the lore and commands. I always find out stuff, usually too late. I get overwhelmed alot. It's like I'm some guy stalking hi's ex girlfriend's social media accounts. I'm trying to get my mind off it, but this game is so unique. It actually puts R in RPG.

Didn't know where to post this, so i think I'll post it here. I'm quitting the game. I mean I've been ignoring my college stuff way too much. By now I was supposed to know how to code stuff in C, and study by myself more languages The game is too hard and time consuming for me. Due to my time-zone, the most players can be seen when it's late at night for me. If i enter any sooner than 7 PM I'll find an empty station. This means I'll end up awake at 2-3, ocassionaly even 4 AM. That is not really healthy I'm afraid. It's really not that much fun for me. I like the game, it's the most unique game I've ever played. The roleplay was incredible, the gameplay is unrivaled with. Sure it has plenty of elements i disagree with, characters i might not like, stuff which makes me rage, but it was a really unique game. But damn, it's way too hard to keep up. Too little time to play, too little skill. So Station Engineer Sam Fincher, Roboticist/scientist Sydney Faust, MD/Pharmcist Stanford Norton, AI DOCTOR, and whatever other characters i never used or had the chance of use will no longer work on the NSS Exodus. TL:DR : Smokedfish is a filthy casual that can't play spessmen right, so he quits the game so he can eat his school stay in drugs and not do vegetables. Goodbye and have fun.

Woah, you put in alooooot of effort into this man. +1 for effort. That's like alot of dedication to learn lore.

Oh my bad. Well I'm the Station Engineer Sam Fincher, Medical Doctor Standford Norton, Roboticist Sydney Faust, AI DOCTOR, tried to be the Borg L33T. Used to be Shaft Miner Doug McDorf, but there's too little ore on the asteroids to be worth the effort. Can't be anything in security cuz my pc lags too easily and muh reaction speed is too slow. I'd suggest adding those characters under the 'Character names' list; That's supposed to be of the characters you already play so people can recognize you if they don't know who plays a certain character. Fixed, my bad, I'm a derp.

BYOND Key: Smokedfish Character Names: Sam Fincher, Stanford Norton, Sydney Faust, DOCTOR(AI). Species you are applying to play: Tarajan What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Grey 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: Because i find their language quirks cute, and while being a different alien race, they are not considered that much "inferior". I'll be honest, even though it never got me anything but trouble : Purely Visual. I don't care that tarajans are fast, or got claws. I just want to see something cute. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Again , sentient species are always interesting to play as. A different culture/origin. A different aesthetic. Character Name: Asra Al-Hamdan Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Asra's parents grew tired of their war-torn planet and emigrated, spending their lives aboard various Ships and Stations. They we're safe now, but had menial jobs and thus decided to spend every thaler on their only daughter's education. Asra was thus heavily tutored by few, but extremely skilled scientists, Human, Skrell and very few Tarajans. Small, dusty labs we're her main home. Rarely seeing people that we're not her tutors or Researchers. The lack of contact with other people made her shy in social situations, Her academic success attracted a job offer on one of Nanotransen's Stations to provide with chemical research. Her parents believe that they have achieved the greatest thing ever, and that their and their ancestor's sacrifice was not in vain. The little kitten is however, deeply terrified to not dissapoint her parents or her employers, and bears a constant What do you like about this character? being fairly socially awkward in the past (aaand a bit now) I feel really empathetic towards her. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Yours truly would rate their roleplay as 7.5 out of 10. The hardest thing i can roleplay is a "Common" person. While I do not want to roleplay as something "special", playing as an ordinary person seems hard. Notes: If i could put as much effort into my academics as I do on these backstories i might just not fail the entirety of my exams.

Ahem..as my post was removed...Yes we should,because it does seem like an interesting idea, RP-wise, even if said mechanics may be too similar to wizard mode.

+1 for one of the few psychiatrist i've ever seen that isn't as crazy as the patients they must treat.

I DID actually RP as a cadet asking for training the other day. Received a bit of training. I think Syion was the officer. In principle, the senior/chief of said department should be responsible for teaching the "novices". I hear alot around me about how nurses must teach the new nurses the trade, without any further pay or contractual obligation for it. Just a shouted order. In principles, cadets should be assigned a certain officer to stay under and learn the trade. Same with apprentices/lab assistants etc. Or, if several cadets, no more than 2 under the same "worker" so to say.

I usually play whatever department is empty. I learned from Team Fortress 2 to always pick the class which the "team" lacks. Cuz that's just the nice guy that I am. Number of players Also, it's hard to tell when the department is "trully" empty or not. I mean there could be 6 people on, and half of them SSD, one atmospherics, once apprentice, and one could be answering the call of nature. Like the other day we had a traitor/ling round, both medical and engineering had only one person, so it was a tough choice. The Engine. Even I managed to understand how to set-up the engine, and I really ain't that smart. A guide on our wiki would be nice, as rules do tend to change compared to the baywiki or other sites. Jobs to do: Really it usually goes like this when i go engineer : set up the engine, go set up solars, and if by then sh*t doesn't get real on the station and i do manage to finish all the solars, then theres not much to do really. The idea that the engine would require regular maintenance is really what scares me. Thankfully i don't think it needs any.

Seen Anna the Chef around. Disliked her "guardian angel" fellow. +1 cuz The story's gud, The person's good, but for the love of space carp god, don't have a hero complex, plox Oh em ef gee m8.

Mate, i was having a tough shit RP conversation with the Psychiatrist. Also, i lack the robust skills/PC performance to get into any sort of fight that requires actuall reflexes or skill.

In principle, I assume it would be to stick to the Head's orders..but assuming the Heads go insane with power and start executing, is the AI simply supposed to stand it? I don't think the laws state to specifically follow the head's orders. Also, considering the situation above, should the AI try to take over by itself?

I'm not sure if tarrajan dialogue automatically has the RRRRRRs or not, because if they do that might be tough. Really your motive seems fair enough. like for example, in starbound humans look like the most boring race (i mean compared to communist apes, warmonger big eater plant people, aztec/mayan bird people, and MEDIEVAL ROBOTS, yeah..they seem kind of lame). I say +1 mate, but I'm tellin' you it's going to be tough.

Sounds like a good concept for a character. I've seen Jimmy McFly and PAL: OS around, can't really remember anything about them tho... Being good in construction, you might just give more break time for my own engineer. +1 from me, remember to bring a charged Cooler Unit.

I was thinking in case there is no power to open the shuttle doors, or if power is needed in the bridge and Batteries aren't good enough, this generator can be used. There is 1 or 2 plasma sheets in the chest right next to the generator in the storage. How much power can it provide?

+1 because Red Dwarf.

Sorry mate, but slimes are too OP. Maybe if we can make some sort of claw to pick up dead slimes after a mounted..I dunno THING can take them out?All without ever accessing the pen in the first place? By using "muh brain" i've deducted that SLIMES in any universe are virtually not killable via convenient weaponry, BUT fire/water/lightning could damage them.

I've never seen anyone ever use one, despite many situations in which it's use could have been appropiate. Is it bugged on the server or something?

Ironically he was supposed to be an inconsiderate, xenophobic asshole with no regard for others..

Actually the Oath has been changed over time....I don't think any SS13 server lore speaks about abortion or lethal injections. Probably best if they do not. I like to base my medic based on a few parameters, your questions are relavant to them : Q:For example, if a patient in critical condition refuses treatment. A: I never had that situation, I'd probably ask a head if available, if none available, person should be put under anesthethic, treated. If they have a complaint for having their life saved, they can file it to NT. If they complain using their fists, then a security officer will be called. Q:Or if a doctor is assaulted and unable to escape, are there additional obligations in how she's allowed to defend herself? A:According to regulations, Doctors are allowed to defend themselves as any other crewmember would, and the assailant, punished accordingly. Q:What if the captain orders an execution by lethal injection, and wants a doctor to carry out the sentance? A:No. Because Corporate Regulations and Sol Law. Depending on your character,they might fall under pressure,perhaps bribed. If station is no longer under NT control as it happend once, they might again, fall under pressure depending on your character's personality. Q:What if i'm ordered not to treat someone who would die without it? is that order valid? A:Technically you are supposed to treat them. But if said person represents a threat to the station , like a someone with "access to blue space technology", that should again, be a matter to consider. Q:How far is a doctor expected to go in putting themselves at risk, in order to retrieve wounded crewmen? A: Paramedics are expected to do so in colaboration with security officers. Know how in real life when an accident occurs, Police and Ambulances arrive?In our case, Security,Engineers and medics, depending on situation. Q:Is there an expectation that crewmen suffering SSD should be carried onto the shuttle by a doctor? A: I was doing that usually depending on how "Nice" my doctor was.In principle, the crew heads/captain's duty is to make sure everyone gets to the shuttle, no matter their state.Least that's what i think. Usually I would grab everyone and take them to the shuttle, as I learned, Transfer shuttles do not need that necessary. In case of emergency shuttles, Medics, among other crew members like security SHOULD take SSD people to the shuttle, in principle, each department taking care of it's own members, under their head's guidance, or if appliable, SSD in their imediate vicinity. Q:Is doctor-patient confidentiality a law? A: Controversial here. Station Security should be put first. Again, according to your character's personality. Q:Are there regulations about bedside manner? or operating without anaesthetic? A: Haven't read any. Aparently not, but to be a good doctor, you must anesthethic your patient before surgery.

Thing about IQ and Intelligence, they..don't necessary add up. You probably heard Einstein's (?) quoth on judging the fish on it's abillity to climb a tree, right? Well i think most IQ tests do not reflect the capability of each individual properly. Example most questions can be geared towards a certain TYPE of intelligence (problem solving), but that person's strength is the other (creativity). Now intelligence can be, and is inherited, conditions under which said person is raised also determine their intelligence. Intelligence and how much effort said person is capable of working are varied things. Take for instance my high school class : Everyone there, no matter how much i hated them or how stupid they we're, could have been a flipping top student, IF, they would have put EFFORT to it.Course, most of them did not, thus only the brats who's parents could pay for heavy shit tutoring got good grades. Yeah, I could also go on on how "rich" kids most of the time have better grades, but that's a topic for another time. Basically anyone can become an expert in a field, however, their brain type/ their intelligence can HELP. Think of it as %exp bonus in that field, RPG wise. Here's a thing about SCI-FI worlds: They make it seem that a WHOLE planet, a WHOLE race, shares the exact same intelligence type and belief. Which is unlikely if we put too much thought into it. No matter how complex LORE is in any game/universe, it cannot cover every possible aspect. Like, you're telling me that every Unathi is a warmonger?Impossible, technology existed on their world, which means SOMEONE was not a warmonger, but a scientist. Which is funny because the other day I saw an article on TV Tropes " hates scientists". In principle, Race and IQ are somewhat relevant. If we are to take realistic scenarios in consideration, Unathi Doctors CAN exist, but ingame...they are likely to be called snowflakes and probably "not part of the lore", because raisins. I mean, ingame we can expect humans to be anything, but we are supposed to expect Skrell to be smart, Unathi to be Brutal, and Tarajans to be...i haven't got to read their lore yet. TL:DR, Lorewise : Humans can be any intelligence levels, Janitors to captains, Skrell are supposed to be Very intelligent, Scientists,Medics,Non-security Heads. Unathi are supposed to be not as intelligent but strong, hence Security, sometimes as Head, rarely an engineer. I haven't read about Tarajans, Varuca or Diona yet, so I am not sure about them.

You wrote about healers...does that mean they are going to be medic?

Station engineer, seen smoking and drinking martinis, probably being a loudmouth?
