  1. I actually quite like this new change, I've always felt that as an observer I should not really decide whether a round should end or not.
  2. Don't get me wrong, I love it when certain details are left for speculation, I always refer to this as either having an open book where everything is there to know or having an open book forcing the reader to spend some effort to find out.
  3. What I like about this is that it does describe the collective nature of the Unathi, and their reverence to ancestry customs. Also I'm not entirely sure if this was intentional on your part but the fact he diverted from the path was because they were exposed to more outside customs or beliefs? Anyhow, it seems quite bare which isn't much of an issue to me as it still does show some main points on the Unathi. Your other answers don't really go into much detail, I'm not saying they are wrong but rather a bit plain, I'm giving this a +1, since I'm sure you'd be able to play a Unathi properly. Kark'zir Sirvikya takes offense to this.
  4. So, my only real gripe with this application is the structure of the background story, it feels like it's plastered and thrown around. Now on the good bits, the tragedy of the lower classes is always a theme I find interesting and I feel like it's shown here, and you've done so without exposing too much, allowing the reading and hopefully soon the players to speculate a lot without handing them their autobiography. Who were these soldiers? On which side were you living? Perhaps these were foreign soldiers conducting sabotage or your local troops keeping everyone in line, a lot of speculation which is always healthy for a reader. Now onto the player in question, whom I believe is a capable player, I don't overly know too much about them but that doesn't subtract from their value in any round. So my verdict is a +1.
  5. TrickingTrapster is one of those people that are memorable on the server, their characters come from different parts of the spectrum making them enjoyable to play with as opposed to being carbon copies of each other. The story seems somewhat furnished but at the same time confusing to me, this doesn't necessarily mean it's bad since it seems quite unique to me and I mostly look for the understanding of the player to the lore, I generally let background stories to develop after they play, don't think I've had a written character concept that stayed intact. My last point is that the fact TrickingTrapster modified their app after some feedback and was replying shows me that they are interested in this race, as opposed to a "gotta get em all" attitude I sometimes see. So my veridct is a +1, with a strong emphasis on the + part.
  6. Where to start, I've interacted with most of their characters so far and what I've gathered is that they are an exceptionally capable roleplayer. They seem to have a good temperament on them and have a good balance between interaction and mechanics, not relying on either exclusively. I think my most defining moment with them was when my character Raymond Hawkins was recently cloned and they were suffering a somewhat acute CMD, they treated me, broke the news to me when it was right instead of just giving it to me like a slap, and this is in my book deserves major props, and this was all done by the character they are applying for. So my verdict is +1, a very strong +1.
  7. I'm trying to employ the same method I used in my previous anthem which was for Elyra. Essentially this anthem is supposed to be a translated version which would fit for Ceti Basic, along with the fact I'm not much of a linguistic historian so I wouldn't really be very good when it comes to modifying it to give that antique sound, but I will see about making it in the future.
  8. Type (e.g. Planet, Faction, System): ASSN Founding/Settlement Date (if applicable): 2130 Region of Space: Sol Alliance Controlled Space Controlled by (if not a faction): Invalid Other Snapshot information: This anthem is supposed to be composed prior to contact with other sentient alien races and should more focus on the time with colonial discontent. It’s meant to give a strong vibe of patriotism and the will to fight for constant unity of Human worlds. Long Description: “Our United Alliance” - ASSN Anthem Our Solarian Sovereignty undisputed Our vision, transcendent Our heads high, our will strong Arise my Alliance, for we are supreme From Sol to the frontier, our right We are humanity, our vision great The stars, our destiny manifest Through the toil of our people We expand to the horizon For our Humanity, we expand Our Solarian Sovereignty undisputed Our vision, transcendent Our heads high, our will strong Arise my Alliance, for we are supreme From Sol to the frontier, our right We are humanity, our vision great Proud people under your leadership Through the blood of our people Always ready to give our due For our unity, we stand strong
  9. I will say I've seen some form of improvement recently as well, mostly with their new character.
  10. On regards to CommanderXor, from what I see they neglected to properly follow SoP in terms of escalation of force and immediately went for lethals, which turned the round into the murder fest, as opposed to attempted to de-escalate the situation, while a person that enters your workplace and begins changing pests into things is a cause for alarm, some measure of rationality should've been employed. I'm not going to be giving any extra punishment currently as they were already punished for this type of behavior after this complaint was made but I will speak to them and explain to them what was wrong along with how to improve upon this for future incidents. Furthermore, any further incidents of this will have an escalated punishment. As for Cirukcaller, all I really see is that changing him got out of hand and he may have went crazy, I really don't see any instances on that specific player trying to rambo you or valid hunt you as they did play along with your gimmick initially. I will note that as the round progressed, security became unorganized and were going down in term of manpower, but they shouldn't have left their duties of guarding the brig. It feels a bit like metagaming the round type to me, there is no way to confirm that there is only one hostile on board the station as you could've just been a diversion of some sort, so the Warden leaving his primary responsibility when Officers were about seems like neglect to me.
  11. This is a notice I'll be taking over this complaint. I'd like to warn from now everyone posting that personal attacks, insult, attitude or anything I find to be toxin is not tolerated, and may result in administrative punishment beyond the verdict placed for this complaint. Everyone is welcome to PM over the forums or to speak to me on the discord for anything related to this complaint, but keep in mind any remarks about other players over discord will also not be tolerated.
  12. Is there a chance for these changes to be reverted in the future due to the setting moving forward?
  13. Will the fact this was a very close victory for synthetics mean the end result is different that a total synthetic victory?
  14. Alright, so after looking into the matter with a panel of judges and executioners, I have the following verdict on the matter. 1) BSA was spoken to about when/why/how building a Durand would be acceptable, so that they would not be violating the rules regarding power-gaming. 2) That their character presently is not capable of doing Research and Development, as while they are simple mechanically but from a role-play wise is complex that requires serious education in the relevant degrees. Any violation to these two points should be ahelped or brought up to myself with relevant evidence. There have been certain reports that can be considered borderline ganking, but since this happened a while ago and no relevant information was posted for me to verify, I can't investigate those incidents. I advise next time such things happen to ahelp it so staff can deal with it. The remaining issues have been declared to be IC issues or justified. Locking and archiving.
  15. This is a notice that I'll be taking over this complaint, it should be resolved by this weekend.
  16. So to start this off, I'll go with my opinion on the matter. This matter was dealt with the majority of staff present agreeing on the outcome, the rest were most likely AFK. Staff are not obliged to permit community members being aggressive with them, in my attempts to speaking with Hunter, they decided to be hostile with me on discord, which I will post at the end of this thread. I feel like this complaint is misplaced and the offender should understand what he did wrong and learn from it, as it was a warning rather than a ban. The following includes certain logs that were the prelude to the resulting damage sustained from the beacon My opinion on the matter before we spoke to HunterRS Admin conversation between 1138 and HunterRS This decision was also not done by 1138 himself, other members of staff pitched in and were in agreement. I have a few more logs but I'm waiting for permission to post them for this spoiler Here Hunter takes the matter to AOOC Admin PM’s resume after a discussion and AOOC arguement Here is the warning being placed Admin PM’s continue Here Hunter complains about the adminstrative action done HunterRS: well, fuck this server today Admin PM’s resume HunterRS to OneOneThreeEight: And I say, I want to talk to one of them HunterRS to OneOneThreeEight: Thanks for ruining my night, 1138 HunterRS/(Edgar Dawnguard)(JMP): have fun guys, I'm leaving “More on OOC” By request of staff as I was the one mostly paying attention to this situation other than 1138, I intervened. This is the Discord discussion.
  17. Right, let's get this show on the road. The reasons are well enough, I personally from observations whether I'm playing or observing can understand the appeal they have to Skrell when placing their characters into consideration. This answer seems pretty spot on but on the same time, I feel like it touches on a small aspect of how Skrells are. Your answer on their mannerism is pretty good, you describe their speech and how they'd react to certain things. With that in mind, I still feel you could possibly expand on other points that the Skrell have, how about their biology? How about them in a collective sense? What kind of things of conclusions have you reached from say the news articles? I like this story, it's to the point, doesn't give out the entire autobiography of the character so it does leave some room for mystery for future interactions. I've always been a fan of IC mysteries that I can uncover myself through player interaction. I very much like the fact you focused on a very personal thing to Orbul here, I don't see many people with personal goals, be it feasible or not so this is a refreshing change of pace. So in essence, most of the application seems solid to me and errors have already been pointed to you which I believe you've corrected. I kinda wish you'd expand a bit on the difference between Humans and Skrell a bit more but other than that this application gets my full support. I specifically like the timeline, gives an easy to understand and tl;dr version of the main story. Hope to see you warbling on in the near future. You get a +1 from me potential warbler.
  18. It's heavily reliant on brute damage to the limb.
  19. Due to the nature of this complaint, it's going to be voided. Locking and archiving.
  20. Have you tried reporting these people? This kind of behavior is not permitted.
  21. Personally, as the person that dealt with this case I'd like to have this appeal denied. But you're free to appeal this in a few months since you chances right now are essentially null.
  22. I am fairly certain you can queue things in RnD.
  23. Both are already implemented.
  24. Did he stop playing? Haven't seen him in a bit.
  25. The back story seems like something out of Disney fiction. The story of how someone was "lucky" to be given life after being bought from a "budget IPC store". I advise rethinking this, maybe give more read about the nature of how Synths are on Biesel. I'll keep myself Neutral for the time being until I see improvements.
