You are aware you can still ahelp the round after with this same issue? I think this issue to be something minor that should really just have been ahelped.

I echo Alberyk's sentiment here. +1 vote for dismissal.

Well well well, it's taken my a month to finally get you to actually go through with this. My first interactions with Worthy were with their Detective character, a fleshed out Detective with a fleshed out character that was pleasant to play with, they would go on to create more characters such as Aella Quinn, a staple and backbone of Security when ever they're around, another well fleshed out character with a background story, motives, quirks, habits and a bunch of things that makes them feel "real" instead of being a cardboard cut out. Had I been doubtful of their ability to roleplay properly, believably and in a way that is fun, I don't think I would've let them play the daughter of Raymond Hawkins. You application as a whole isn't very verbose devoid of fillers when it comes to the OOC answers to things, these answers are short and direct yet they still cover the kind of things I like to see in an application. Now, do I support them? Yes, I think they'd be a fun addition to the pool of whitelisted command players. So you get a +1 from me. You're not worthy.

This attempt isn't serious, applying the forum warning. Appeal denied.

Locking and archiving. I'd like to apologize on behalf on the team regarding the ban. While this is not something that should happen, it does happen and we're glad you appealed it so we could correct the matter.

Do you still wish to appeal the warning or would you like this thread locked and archived with the ban part of it being resolved.

Going to go ahead and deem this as resolved. There's no substantial proof to indicate that the player in question has been responsible of any Tesla releases after the warning was issued either by negligence or malicious intent. There's also the fact that there are reports of the Tesla having issues pertaining to the code that may cause this as well. Furthermore, no additional punishment will be given to incidents prior to the 11th as they were already handed out. As usual, open for 24 hours before being locked to give time for any more relevant information.

Application approved.

They did in fact speak to them after you, since it wasn't really a time sensitive issue that they needed to be spoken to about the over use of force in a fight. I do find myself partial to the idea that Ezuo may have not have been specific enough to you but I wouldn't call this abuse or a breach of their responsibility as a moderator, as I've said before they were fine with the fight itself which I'm in agreement with and only find issue with the use of the drill. I'm just going to ahead with my verdict. Considering the way you communicated with the moderator which in my opinion was hostile and generally unpleasant, I do not find Ezuo to have done anything maliciously wrong here towards you or any person involved in this incident. They do agree they could've been more specific to you by differentiating between the drill part of the fight from the fight as a whole, but I don't find that warrants deeming this a case of moderator abuse nor anything else really. A side note as you mentioned it. Since you did cite some form of metagrude, I do advise you collect evidence in the forms of logs and picture, and if you are positive of it to ahelp it or place a player complaint. Though I hope you won't confuse metagrudge with previous interactions painting your character into a certain light with there as almost everything but antanogist action are deemed canonical.

You mostly discussed the topic of the mugging and such, from what I read, and when discussing the topic you didn't simply speak about the drill but about the whole fight from what lead to it to the after things. Note that I did speak to you afterwards and even told you that while we did not punish the miner as mistakes happen, he was still spoken to and cautioned to do such in the future. I cut out the conversation. Note the 24 hour count down is still ongoing as the same points are simply being raised here.

I've read your application twice now and one part of it is curious. Could you please expand upon it? The Aurora is actually the NSS Aurora as opposed to the NSV. I'm curious if this is something you've added yourself or something that canonically happened? Since if not, this seems like a military citation you've received during the characters tenure as a civilian working for a corporation, which I believe is not possible.

Application Approved.

Application Approved.

Deeming this as resolved in favor of Alberyk. Locking and archiving.

That's the thing, the drill part wasn't completely allowed and the relevant people were spoken to about the amount of force used, the player also did not carry on attacking you, they did not go out of their way to kill you or incur further damage, since the character realized the implications of using a dangerous industrial item, which they got punished for it, albiet the investigation by the ISD wasn't fully correct, the premise that it was over use of force is not something the ISD or us as staff are disputing. As for the mugging, there are a plethora of ways they could've approached it be it ways I could think and ways I can't think of, they decided to approach this way which resulted in action by the ISD towards them at the end of the day. Maybe they could've waited for Engineering or others to come, but they had their reasons based on their assumption on the situation. Conflict as said previously is allowed even while you're not an antagonist within the confines of the rules stipulated, which you can easily read. This was also not something round ending for you, you were treated, and then released, where you proceeded to just sit down for the rest of the round. You're also taking the term "spoken to" a bit overboard, they spoke with Ezuo as did I in a mutual conversation of the situation as we usually do granted we're not busy playing or dealing with situations, it's a common thing as having other opinions on among staff when conducting our duties. Ezuo did not require us to "tell him" to do anything. He discussed your ahelp with you and discussed the parts he disagreed with, he didn't believe removing the gloves was an issue, but he did find the drill part to be an issue. tl;dr Parts of the ahelp required our intervention, but were mostly deemed as something to be dealt with in-character as it wasn't a round ending experiance. Ezuo is not wrong here. With this in mind and the arguments presented by both sides. I'm deeming this resolved in favor of Ezuo. I'll keep this open for 24 more hours unless something additional pops up.

I don't think it's intentional and as far as I'm aware Tesla's still have this odd chance to fail for a plethora of reasons. And I haven't really seen any reports of it being released due to Forest's negligence or gimmicks since this complaint was placed? They've already been warned about this and if it does occur in the future, you're all encouraged to ahelp it.

What I'm getting is you locked yourself and two others in mining, while they did not see you, it's fair conjecture the person that shouldn't be there with insulated gloves might be the cause of this. You refused to hand over the gloves to them, both characters if I recall correctly with Engineering background so it's reasonable to assume they just wanted to get out. They tried to take it by force, that's alright, that's not severe. You then responded by defending yourself from them, also reasonable, antag or not. Then they used a mining equipment, which was quite lethal on you, understandable as a in the heat of the moment thing yet still quite an over-escalation, which they were spoken to about. I had arrived after the fight and watched the exchange between yourself and Ezuo and really don't find an issue with it. Especially since Ezuo did take action just simply not to the extent you wanted him to. As it stands, I don't see an issue.

Alberyk is in the right here. There's a difference between being a proficient AI that does it's job well to an AI that simply focuses on antags, using information it shouldn't exactly have or be able to see. Going to deem this as resolved, locking and archiving in 24 hours.

Raymond Hawkins has specific body language queues to signify emotion, ranging from stress, anxiety, happiness and anger.

Please stomp bumping the thread. You may do so if a week passes without any further response.

First of, I'd like to apologize for the extremely delayed response, been busy yo. My initial intention was not to have it heavily attached to it, it was more of a thought about how good things can still bloom during times of hardship, that not everything during that set time period has to be grim. I've never seen our lore to be too much in the white nor in the black, but a healthy shade of gray which is the shade I'm hoping is what this application resonates with. The way I saw was actually something I've seen a while ago that was based on the inception of the Samurai/Bushido code, while my memory of all this thing I saw is fairly limited, it still inspired me to do something akin to that. I'd like to also say that I've also assumed that are tons of other martial arts adopted by the Skrell in my mind and that what I'm applying with is one among many. While they may be a correlation to the cited sports, I don't think they were the sports I had in mind, I see it a more of a Jiu Jitsu and reading up on it, Judo. I hope I haven't missed any points or questions, do point them out to me if I have.

Locking and archiving. Considered resolved.

I honestly have a preference of a moderator that plays as opposed to those than don't play. While we do appreciate the sentiment, I'm not really a fan of applications that promise activity on being accepted compared to those that are even marginally active so we can properly base our reviews on. There are also certain issues raised by the fact of certain notes presented on you when you do play.

The issue with this application is that you've been relatively inactive, with the last log in being 3 weeks ago, that's not even considering your activity previous to that. I've also noticed you've come around to post when some staff vacancies are advertised to then disappear again. As it stands, there's a very minimal chance this could be accepted at this time. Interested on your thoughts to this.

Alright, I'm going to go ahead and declare this as resolved. Most if not all things I feel should've been dealt from an in-character perspective, be it on station or in the form of an incident reports. The only thing I do feel that requires a talking to would be the super-matter thing, which while we don't specifically forbid shenanigans there are times and places for them, a talk detailing when it's acceptable will be done with Kyres. I'm going to leave this open for another 24 hours in case anything of note is added.
