BYOND Key: DaBurs Total Ban Length: Perm Banning staff member's Key: schieveingen Reason of Ban: "Cluster bombing" Reason for Appeal: As I asked, and got full permission before bombing where I did by Garnascus I feel this ban should be lifted immediately. It was not 'mindless' as scheveningen put it, and I was coordinating with another changeling to take full advantage of the situation the bombs put people in- as I was told I was allowed to. There were no casualties from my bombs either.

Thank you Alberyk. I appreciate this final chance dearly.

I think everything the admins do is a calculated risk. In the end, I don't see myself flying off the handle like this though, plain and simple. I have so much less free time now, I know I will have to use the free time I do have valuabley and I don't see being angry and upset all the time as a valuable use of my time anymore. I can't dictate with a simple 'Yes, they should take the risk.' answer, But I do hope I can be given that chance on their own accord.

Before I begin I want to preface this by saying these were two completely isolated incidents that happened months apart from each-other and not back to back occurrences, in fact I think both incidents happened a little over a year apart from each-other. This isn't regular behavior I just exhibit every time I join the server, I'm completely responsible for my actions and realize I am at fault completely for both of them and I hope I can be forgiven and given another chance. I am in a much more stable position in my life now, with a lot less free time than before that I value a lot more. I spent too much time on the server and it made me cocky and arrogant, but my entire way of living is different now and its really shined a light on how a person should act towards other for me. If you decide to give me another chance I'd be very grateful.

Hello?

BYOND Key: DaBurs Total Ban Length: Permanant Banning staff member's Key: alberyk Reason of Ban: 10/21/2016 Bombing the brig as a non-antagonist and logging off. Reason for Appeal: October was a rough month for me last year. I was extra irritable from being burglarized and having to move in the same month. Anyway, I'm sorry for what I did. I can't even remember the in-game reason, I just remember arguing with someone and doing something I really regret now. I'd like to come back into the fold and make up for the grief I caused, if I could get another chance, and hopefully start this year fresh.

My only issue with Nanako messing around with the official wiki is that Nanako isn't very fond of correcting her spelling and grammar mistakes in post. Otherwise, I've only ever seen Nanako play a medic or a janitor, and lately it's been more of the latter. I haven't had many roleplaying experiences with her though but I'm leaning to -1.

My type of thread. Things I hate:

You use the word 'snowflake' a lot I think without actually knowing what it means, but I agree, the Vaurca are a unique race that needs to stay on the server.

Come on, people dislike Vaurca because they aren't your typical la-la standard fur-race or scalies, they might say they don't like them for how they "act" or whatever but we all know the truth is that people who hate them do so because they don't physically appeal to their attractive fur-fantasy. Voted to keep Vaurca.

Woah, woah. I never once splashed paint around the station. Not a single time. I'd advise you rethink your decision on that one. I welcome and encourage the admins to retrieve logs proving otherwise, because I've never done that. Ever. Furthermore, who are these 'people' that are starting to hate me for something I didn't do? Edit; I've requested an admin to check the logs of the round to prove my innocence. Yes, I saw the same person you did run around sloshing paint everywhere, no it wasn't me.

Title: Synthetically Induced Vaurca Corp Frenzy Equipment Submitter: Dr. Tjaden Wahlquist, Xenobiologist. Type of submitter: Private Submission. Submitter information and dealings (list): Winner of the 2457 New Gibson Xenobiologist Society Award for new advancements in Xenobiology. Nominee for the 2458 Xenobiologists of Biesel award. Masters in Alien Psychology and Physiology. Name(s) of design(s) being submitted (list): Synthetically Made i104-WL0 Pheromone 'Vaurca Death Corps' antenna-harness and proof of concept. (Current Working Name) Description(s) and history of research: Research on the 'VDC' (Current Working Name) antenna-harness, specially designed by Dr. Wahlquist and Roboticist [REDACTED] was created in a bid to make an experimental corp of Vaurca enhanced with a synthetic pheromone compound via the Vaurca's sensitive and responsive antenna to induce a mass, continuous frenzy that effectively make any squadron of unbound or bound Vaurca respond at the chemical layer of the newly-found, highly advanced pheromone and engage in response with a berserk-like state of mind, disregarding who or what they fight in a bid to erradicate whatever and whoever they see regardless of circumstance. This project was first inspired by the centuries old observation of Earth-bred common ants. These ants, when crushed and killed would release a pheromone that would effectively cause a frenzy of an entire colony to retaliate to the threat at hand. This was the basis for the experiments we thus carried out on top-level Vaurca prisoners scheduled for execution in accordance to The Gibson planetary law. In conjunction with the New Gibson government, the funding and construction of the i104-WL0 pheromone, and the i104-harness then went underway. Primary research on the i104-WL0 pheromone for the forced chemical reaction was conducted by Tjaden Wahlquist, while the design and implementation of the harness was blueprinted, and the prototype built by head roboticist [REDACTED]. The i104-WL0 had then finished production and experimenting commenced. The pheromone would be heavily condensed and liquidized into a small canister no larger than around four inches long (10.6 cm) and one inch wide (2.54 cm). The condensed, liquidized pheromone in pressurized canister even of this small a size has been proven to last effectively for the lifespan of any VDC unit it was applied to. The reason being that even in trace amounts, when the pheromone is applied via the i104-harness it will still be picked up at a neurological level by the Vaurca in which case it still educes the rage-like frenzy intended. It is speculated most VDC units will die in battle before their canister becomes even 1/4th empty, due to the care-free nature induced that would invoke a corpsman for this Vaurcan squad to ignore all cover and wounds and attack until he is physically unable. The pheromone naturally induces numbness to the Vaurca's senses, dulling all pain while in this rage state. Regardless of pain numbing, it is highly speculated that the units involved would likely ignore the pain. Tests conducted in specialized fighting enclosures between prisoners has concluded the expected results; Vaurca inflicted with the i104-WL0 pheromone will not attack other members of their own hive, as their frenzy seems to act in a colony mentality. This means all future squadrons of the Vaurcan Death Corps will be comprised entirely of members from the same hive as to avoid all instances of friendly fire and ensure max efficiency. Tests have concluded that this extremely potent pheromone can even override hive-commands in most bound Vaurca, as the chemical intensity of i04-WL0 proves too strong. This leaves the application of these types of squads to be used in, and be most effective in the most dire of circumstances where as the enemy is overrunning a position, an entire station or ship has been taken over by the enemy and the VDC must be sent in as they would be the only ones to accept the mortality rates of taking back the area, or activated as a defense measure should an entire fleet fall to the enemy. In the wrong hands this pheromone is useless, however without the i104-harness, as the harness enhances the pheromone by running it through a specially designed cycle that ensures maximum potency. Without this enhancer, tests have concluded that the pheromone can cause irritability in Vaurca that soon waivers with time. Effectively, the i104-harnesses can be remotely activated and deactivated by a device controlled by a superior, a Vaurca leader of the same hive that will NOT be induced with the pheromone. It will be this squad leader's responsibility to remotely turn off the VDC units once their mission is complete, as to ensure they can re-board their mother ship and prepare for transfer. Side-effects from pro-longed use of the I104-WL0 only appear in unbound Vaurca of a hive. These side-effects include minor mental instabilities, reduced reflexes and senses while not using i104-WL0 (Resuming use of the pheromone re-enhances such abilities.) and emotional numbness. Many unbound prisoners subjected to experiments have been reported to have some mood swings and general apathy, seemingly half-way reverting back to a bound state some how, but genetically being unable to achieve it. Bound on the other hand experience none of these side-effects, and only minor acute reflex problems have been reported when off of the pheromone. The ethics of using such a method of combat regarding the forced frenzy and rage of the Vaurca wearing the i104-Harness has been questioned heavily by critics. These questions of ethics are put at bay in the way the compound is administered. The primary user of these helmets are Vaurca set for execution, much like those that were first experimented on prior. It is in this way we give them another chance at life, and ensure it is through their own volition and decision that they wish to sign the correct paperwork and go through the required training to become apart of the VDC. This same method has been tried and true in many a war fought for centuries, giving prisoners of war (Or in this case, just prisoners set for execution.) A chance to redeem themselves for what they have done through the valor of the corps. Above all else they are tested for mental competency. Most people on death row have the mental competency to join such a corp, with a slight error of margin of about 2% showing no remorse for what crimes they might have committed or not understanding why they are set for execution for the crimes they have committed, these inmates are deemed non-eligible for recruitment into the Vaurca Death Corps. Besides recruitment through criminal volunteers, regular Vaurca volunteers are also accepted and permitted if they are, much like the prisoners, deemed mentally fit to do so. The ethical misunderstandings of these inventions leading to the Corp have made the designer of the i104-harness, Roboticist [REDACTED] take their name off of this project, while still actively working on it. In recapping: The i104-WL0 Pheromone in conjunction with the i104-Harness induces a total frenzy-like state of Vaurca that can be harnessed by the forming of a Vaurca Death Corps to be used in last-ditch and emergency take-no-prisoner efforts to eradicate the enemy by enabling the remotely-controlled furiosity and frenzy of a squadron of same-hive Vaurca, ensuring many victories in 'any-means-necessary' situations. i104-WL0 Liquid Pheromone

Writing up something right now. Edit: Finished. What a fun two hours.

I was also there as a pirate for that round, fortunately enough! So I too, witnessed the scene. I was "Bedlam Bruiser", and the 'threat' issued by Captain Rubyscales that round was little more than a warning: Stop doing stupid farming stuff, we need all hands on deck. It's a very justifiable and pirate-thing to do in RP to encourage your crewmembers to stop doing unneeded things through little threats, "yarrr, you'll walk the plank." But what happened with you that round, the EMP warning you received didn't justify a no-RP mutiny where you just start stabbing the captain in the head with a spear. Both me and Panther had to do surgery on the Captain to reconstruct his face, the entire situation put us down one good man and wasted a lot of time for not a very valid reason. The smallest misdemeanor with your Vaurca characters and its 'ATTACK MODE: ENGAGE'. With all that said, and in regards to this thread and it's main topic, none of this has anything at all to do with NursieKitty in any way. In each continual situation Nursie has done nothing but do their job correctly and patiently.

I think Blackstar should be added. Seriously. I'll probably make a suggestion thread about it tomorrow. RIP David.

I RP'd with Kaedwuff as a raider, he was pretty cool. +1

I saw my library APC change colors many times while you stood around it seemingly unmoving, granted you may have just been getting ready to make the grilles, it was non-the-less very suspicious. You also neglected to cover why you stole my camera for no reason at all, since before then I had only good interactions with you and even made a very positive article about you and the engineering team in general. Were you an antag? Did the hive tell you to steal that random guy's camera?

All my ULTRASMURFS hate comes from Matt Ward writing them to be the savior-childs of the Imperium just because he liked them so much, and making sure they always did greater feats than other chapters, ruining the lore up a bit because of his personal likes and dislikes. Pic unrelated, a real angel for the Imperium, Commander Dante. This guy is so old, even the other Chapter Masters remember him being Chapter Master when they were still scouts.

Will this thread even get looked at a single time? Does anyone on Aurora know a smidgen of lore about WH40k and want to discuss it? Favorite chapter? Favorite faction? ULTRAMARINE LOVERS NEED NOT APPLY https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Lamenters The Lamenters are my second (sometimes first, It's hard to decide) faction after the Blood Angels. The most hardcore, unlucky chapter of the cursed 21st founding. Poor guys. Unlike a lot of chapters, they actually care deeply for civilian casualties, and like their armor they have hearts of gold. Their slogan is as touching as their sad story. Their Chapter Master Malakim's name literally translates into Angel. Our hats off to you, Lamenters. May you be found from the warp and return to the Imperium. "For those we Cherish, we die in Glory!." - Lamenter Creed

My two cents on the whole situation, as I am the blinder in the scenario and spoke with Nursie much like Garbage. In fact, Garbage isn't as innocent as he tries to make this report out to be. The fact is, Nursie contacted him because I made an ahelp of him greifing me. Forgive me for saying this but, I don't feel it's lore-fitting for a drone to randomly push someone into a puddle and steal their camera and run off with it when there were no hostile interactions prior to that. It seems like a bald-head tier thing to do, and that's what lead me to getting the (Nursie-approved) flashes on his character. It was me who got the revenge, not him who ever wanted it. Really his actions startled me, I had only pleasant experiences with his character earlier, with a friendly little interview- where I even painted his character in a hugely good light in my news article, so when he decided for no reason to take my camera after I slipped on the janitor's wet floor, spam-take pictures with it and run off with it (trying to steal it), and then later fill my library up with grilles and try to shut my APC down for no reason while I was quietly sitting behind my desk, I had more of a reason for revenge than he ever did, or will.

DatBerry's name is structurally and verbally similar to mine, he's probably a cool guy. +1

I slipped in a puddle while a janitor was cleaning viscera. He stole my camera for no reason and began wasting all the film. When I got up, he pushed me back into the puddle and took off for engineering. Before that I had nothing but pleasant experiences with him, including a friendly and humorous interview, so the sudden shift in mood from roleplay to flat-out grief startled me. Of course I acted hostile to him afterwords, since I wanted justice. Before I did anything IC to get that revenge I asked in adminhelp if he'd be punished OOCly for that kind of wacky, random behavior, but NursieKitty said it was all for IC reasons or something. I don't know. I'm not going to vote either way, I'm sure they can be a decent roleplayer when they want as I saw with the funny interview RP I had before the bizarre grief incident.

Thanks for the feedback. But yeah, as I posted in my app prominently, I don't expect to 'overcome' racial oppression, I expect it to be one of the larger factors of my character, being discriminated against that is. I think overcoming racial oppression is impossible, in the real world and in roleplay.

Yet another lengthy reply to try and garbage up my application. Keep the first thing you said, remove the last paragraph. There is a reason Skullface removed everything else. Stop making my goddamn application into an argument thread.
