Colfer Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) BYOND key: [Colfer] Character names: [maintenance drone (REX-335)] [maintenance drone (REX-385)] [maintenance drone (REX-133)] [maintenance drone (REX-883)] [maintenance drone (REX-192)] [maintenance drone (REX-8)] How long have you been playing on Aurora?: [around a year or so] Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? [The most recent administrative action I can remember was killing a person who had just spawned as a cultist due to them stumbling into the cult base less than a minute after spawning] Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: [To be extremely scary, if I saw a head on a staff I'd be worried, like really worried, like really really worried, like really really really worried, like really really really really worried, like really really really really really worried (Repeat until paragraph long)] What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: [I will upgrade maintenance drones, uphold my laws and upload spamware to the medical laptops when nobody is looking, replace frayed wires in APC's, roleplay scrubbing gum off the medical tables, clean Ian's dog hair, unclog toilets, get emagged and destroy humans, eat used bullets and scrub off blood and flour that showers with power by the hour from scrubbers] Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career? [So basically, apon being created my maintenance drone cleaned up blood around the station and fixed some holes that carps made and made a R&D tech processor and lifeform stasis pod in medical and then this person was like "What the fuck this drone was actually useful and works really well, I thought they just cleaned up boogers and fixed windows and stuff" and then their AI chip was copied and inserted into a matriarch drone] What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? [literally only matriarch drone, you added a matriarch drone that requires a command whitelist when im a HARDCORE maintenance drone player and then all this cool maintenance drone stuff was added with the matrix and now theres multiple(?) matrix's(Matrixy if you will) and drone upgrades and all this stuff and I really just want to be a matriarch drone] Have you familiarized yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? [no] Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.: [Matriarch Drone (REX) as: Matriarch drone] Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? [matriarch drone (REX) states (EAL), "BeobeobpeZbo IZbiZWIZZ BOOPE bope" Translation: (yes)] Extra notes: [please alb i beeg of you i ned d this I NEED THIS] Edited November 11, 2021 by Colfer no reason dont look into it Quote
Lucaken Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to play a maintanance drone. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the SS13 mechanics will go over a typical player's head. There's also a drone's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their lore background- their philosophy draws heavily from Orwellian literature, for instance. The players, like Colfer, understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jobs, to realise that they're not just here to unclog toilets- they say something deep about the GAME. As a consequence people who dislike maintenance drones truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the intracasies in a drone's existential catchphrase "01100101 01100001 01110100 00100000 01110011 01101000 01101001 01110100," which itself is a cryptic reference to Asimov's Russian epic, the Foundation series. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Geeves' genius PRs unfold themselves on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a matriarch drone tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎 Quote
