The general idea is as follows: -Nothing ruins the fun of a match's atmosphere quite like literally venting the atmosphere (Leave the killing to the crew, contain most simplemobs from hurting civilians and gently work to contain particular antags security are already on the heels of after being ordered to assist). -Uphold access rights in a similar way to security guards, alerting security when someone's in a place they're not supposed to be (Usually in a roundabout in-character way, and depending on the situation waiting for the intruder to mostly finish what they're doing before even beginning to mention it). -Stay in character, pick a personality and stick to it. Keep in mind the AI's perspective at all times and remember that it'll behave exactly like what it is, a series of logical conditions generating logical responses(with varying cosmetic personalities), not an all-powerful god in a box. -Above all else : Keep the flow of the match in mind and work to further the narrative under the guise of being a machine, not actually being a machine and being on top of absolutely everything you currently have access to at all times and ensuring nothing slips past your big mechanical eye.Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: When I was introduced to Space Station 13 it was on a friend's server with a non-restricted AI role and I got quite confident playing as one and eventually maining as one, seeing to the crew's requests, silently watching antags and helping contain the threats the crew made for themselves (Mostly plasma leaks, raging fires and plasma leaks turning into raging fires), etc etc. I wanted to try being an AI in aurora originally but didn't feel like I knew enough of the mechanics of how the specific codebase, playerbase and unwritten ruleset operated to confidently play AI properly until no. I'd like to see if I can be a competent AI now I've got a lot more experience in various roles and played IPCs heavily and Cyborgs to a lesser extent. I won't lie, I'll probably have to look up a few engineering related things and a few specifics on corporate law and esoteric lore questions when I don't know them and they come up as an AI, but I'll try my best, stay in character and ask for help from the appropriate sources if and when I need it Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? Closest to anything like that would have to be be a couple minor warnings when I was starting out and didn't fully understand the mechanics, like mutagen being dangerous and to not use it on myself outside of a gimmick or other similar reason. Other than a few things guiding my future choices like that, no, I've needed no administrative attention so far and I fully aim to keep it that way. Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? I do. Being an AI is a powerful role and needs to be handled responsibly and with an eye for detail, restraint and the larger in-character picture and is a prime target for people who want the power to ruin an entire round for as many people as possible, so being AI whitelisted naturally is a privilege for those who keep an unspoken promise to further the match as a discerning extension of the players in it instead of trying to control or micromanage crew and dominate the flow of the round. Anyone who breaks either written or unwritten rules as an AI either severely or knowingly no longer deserves the role as they hold the ability to ruin entire matches of dozens of other people and have proven themselves irresponsible with the power they've asked for, I understand that I am no exception to this and if I overstep my bounds I'll be pushed back into roles that are a lot safer for the round's integrity and wellbeing, effectively the roles I'd belong in if I prove I can't be trusted in others. From my own experience I also trust the moderation staff to be fair and even-handed in giving guidance, punishment and judgement, so I don't believe I'll need to appeal my whitelisting being removed as I'll have had to truly earn its revocation.
