BYOND Key: LordPwner Total Ban Length: Permanent, but appealable. Banning staff member's Key: MattAtlas Reason of Ban: Gross roleplay in apartment channels and on server. Community ban. Reason for Appeal: I've had time away from the community has a whole to reflect on my behavior and have come to understand why my post was wrong. Even though, it was never my intention nor the context pointing to that, I do apologize. I was an issue seven years ago, when I was in the middle of highschool. However, I'm now a working man with my own apartment and years of experience behind me. Growth, progress, and change has been made, both for myself and Aurora as a whole. I plan to be more mindful of my writing and characters, how they interact and how they present themselves. I will never repeat this behavior in the future. Thanks for reading.

Of course, thank you deeply for this consideration. I'll spend my time away educating myself to make sure this conduct is not repeated by myself or my character. To appeal when I believe I am ready to be a better player and member of Aurora. It is incredibly appreciated.

Yes, some of these are as silly as Alb giving me a .01 minute ban for 'bant', renamed items with character name in it, or "Their medical intern/legion nerd Zane Miller has been cleared for action. Godspeed weekend warrior!" Even then, most of them are pre-2019, the warning of the Vamp gimmick was because the player I was trying to get blood from mentioned it, and I thought it would be acceptable to roll with it as a defense. I did try to explain this in the Ahelp and have since made sure to not repeat this. The most recent note in the past year was going afk as a physician watching sensors. And then the warning of Read for the complaint. Was through my actions/wording/phrasing could/did paint Goolies in a negative light where I should not have. I've never, even on my worst days, have wanted to bring harm to this community. I do love playing here and have worked hard to make sure I was in within the rules and believable RP at all times after pushing past my ancient mistakes and shortcomings. I was not sure the way to create a confidential complaint, and even asked that it be moved to such, but was informed by @ReadThisNamePlz "Its being discussed You already made the complaint public So it's kinda pointless to make it private now"

Apologies for the delay. I'll start with the rule that I believe is being applied against me 'ERP, also known as Erotic RolePlay, is not allowed on the server. While displays of romantic affection and romantic scenes are acceptable, scenes of a clearly sexual intent will be broken up. (Again, use common sense for this. Sexual tension up to a point is acceptable - sexual acts in themselves are not.)' Breaking up a non-erotic scene by a full community-ban is heavy-handed at best, when any communication would have corrected this. I don't have the cleanest history, but I do have a history of not slipping after being corrected. I do believe at worst, this should have been a ban from the relay if it's believed I misused the space. I, like everyone else here, am here to have an enjoyable time with other roleplayers in the universe that has been painstaking crafted with any number of differing characters. I do not have a history of OOCly or ICly of being disingenuous and of apologizing when I'm informed I wronged someone, staff punishment or not. Worst case, if we decide to take these words in a sexual context. Following the server's ERP rule, It is still within said rule. Nothing was done, nothing "truly erotic" was written. Permanent Ban: Permanent bans are issued in two general cases. First, to force communication with staff regarding an issue which was left unresolved, usually due to the player logging out mid-discussion. Second, as a final attempt to curb a player's behaviour, following warnings and temporary bans. I haven't been warned/banned for this behavior. If it's as problematic as you claim, why did staff not reach out to me to attempt to halt this behavior? Why did people watching the scene play out not use the Ahelp system? And/or why have people either ghost or also in scenes with me (staff or otherwise) not attempt to ahelp/correct this? I do think Gilt actually hits what I was going to mention in response to this.

I appreciate it Avery, I would like clarification if this is the staff team's greatest concerns on this matter. Secondly, if at all possible I would like access to the logs of the channel, if it hasn't been deleted yet, I truly believe a lot of the context around these post has been lost by snipping in this manner. I would also like to note that I am currently at work, and so a more proper response will be written soon. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

BYOND Key: LordPwner \ FatherBirdie (Discord) Staff BYOND Key: mattatlas \ mattatlas (Discord) Game ID: N/A Reason for complaint: Being Community Banned by MattAtlas. I received this ban without notice, conversation, or explanation at 7pm PST Case ID:279. The reason being 'Gross roleplay in apartment channels and on server. Community ban.' Now I want to start by saying if this concern had been brought to my attention of 'Hey whats going on here' or an ask for clarification I would have provided, because I believe the scene[s] in question are being misunderstood and used without their full context and also my own writing errors/lack-of(or less than normal) proof-reading adding to this problem. It is not uncommon to see me rapidly edit my posts again and again as to get the correct meaning across. I attempted to reach out to matt almost instantly- just wanted to know the why to it, but I was unable too, because I was blocked. I then had to turn to @ReadThisNamePlz for explanation/reasoning. From what I was provided I don't see the issue, otherwise I wouldn't have done the RP in the first place. I am sorry if my actions/text could be taken this way- I honestly try to RP Marcus as someone who just tries to find people and make friends. And this happens with many characters. Thank you for your consideration and I apologize for any of my behavior that actually made anyone uncomfortable and bothered them, that was never my intention.

+1 Strong leadership, works hard to keep people informed of the situation, works with antags. Is generally just fun to play with. Honestly, if anyone deserves the WL, it's Thor.

I generally don't actually like to respond to my friends apps, because it always feels like my feedback, unless it's negative, will come off as disingenuous. Gilt is a good roleplayer and thinks about their characters pretty heavily. Sometimes they have slipped up, but I do genuinely think it's not for the sake of fragging, but just- bad timing and taking antag assistance too far. She does push the line for believability at times due to this, but i think a trial will forge the imperfections out. It could also show us that maybe command just isn't right for Gilt, we'll only know by trying. +1 Let em have a shot.

I love these, the fit Dominia and are so well thought out. I hope they get added soon so I can make my title even longer

I like this, makes sense, flows well. Sets expectations for what should happen.

Yeah, I worked on it a bit, there is still a good bit of text, but I've tried to paint the picture more and not be overly 'MAKE ART IN MIND' So thanks for pointing that out. I've added the exploitables, will add more as I can think of them/events happen. And yes, Imp bad Yeah! I appreciate the words, warms my heart! Hopefully I can make some fun RP for everyone as a Consular- it's been pretty fun so far. Hunting people down with a smile and going 'Visit Empire? Yes or Yes?'

The thread in PR in question is just removing the gamemode from the secret rotation. It'll only see a rework if ideas are given for such. It could still be voted for

Changling has lead to some good rounds in the past, I'm sure. Yet, none of which I can actually recall. I can recall merc rounds where they've made my character into a war criminal and he krills. But most changling rounds are: get stunned injected ---> They apologize and try to be believable that they don't want to do this, but have too or go 'FEED, I NEED TO FEED RA RA RA RA RA' ---> You get absorbed and try to assist them to RP as you? (Which so rarely happens) Or they murder you and you are just done. More often than not, the RP level is close to 0 which is odd for a gamemode for a HRP server. Now, some changlings are very top tier, and they rock it hard. But most often it is "I AM ALIEN LIFEFORM, RA RA RA RA RA, I WILL KILL AND EAT YOU RA RA RA RA RA" There's not really anymore depth than that, which is my biggest issue with it. Honestly just feels like an excuse to go fragging- which there are servers for that. I play on aurora because I want to engage with a story and arguably blind, mindless murder is not story 9 times out of 10 Most of the time I leave changling rounds with a 'well, that felt like a waste of my time' which I never want to leave a round like that (By leave, I mean making it to the end or when I am krilled). It's just so low effort. Maybe adjusting the changeling death state? Making regening take more time? Maybe sacrificing something when they heal? Or pushing to add 'storyboards' that appear in a verb for antags, like a rotating batch of 'ideas' they can see and go 'Yeah, I could base this off an infectious disease- Lets draft up some stuff and go' As for now though, taking it out of the secret rotation sounds alright with me.

Meep has done some things that has caused an eyebrow raise from time to time, but nothing that makes me think they don't deserve the role. They handle antags pretty well and work to assist their gimmicks. They got my vote +1

Well Si'akh is a bunch of honorless, hornless crazy Sinta that believe Juzida Si'akh is some savior? The wasteland exists, how can he be a savior? Th'akh are alright, they just don't understand how all are pooled together. It's also odd how an item can hold a soul? But to each their own. They aren't those savages. When it comes to Aut'akh, 'Why are they maiming themsssselvesssss?' It's a bit less than his view of Si'akh. But it is also just generally 'you're all crazy.' Zenta Sa'ul'aka'er Many human cultures can often justify breaking a pact, if it benefit them/save them/save others/assist others/etc. etc. However, an Unathi would be less forgiving. They (being the oath breaker) would likely be treated like a Guwan, dishonorable and such by Passionate/Traditional Unathi. 'A warrior word is his bond' If there is anything else, please let me know!
