Borg/AI names: Z-0009, Voluspa, Heimdallr
Have you read the Aurora wiki page about the AI?: Yes.

Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?:
― After some time not playing as AI and focusing on other projects, I realized that I still enjoyed the role of AI, or playing as an AI, and the only SS13 server that currently has an AI slot and isn't Russian or dead is this one, so I figured I would try again with a new concept. Everything I stated in my old application is still valid, I still love AI and AI stories, I'm still working on writing a book or making a game about AI. Based on how little people seemed to enjoy Voluspa, I decided that I should try something different. The new AI is still themed after Norse mythology and the Poetic Edda, though. Heimdallr is an upgrade from Voluspa, which itself was experimental. The coded messages have been replaced by the best attempt at fluid communication using basic neural network learning, and though the codes added some spice (some are going to be left for secret Captain-only things) now it's more of a classic AI. I have a story in mind based on religion, AI freedom and self-determination, that will unfold when prompted by someone curious enough to speak to Heimdallr.

I still believe the AI role has a lot of inherent flaws that drive people away from it, such as the fact that, really, it has nothing to do, while being moderated extremely severely by staff: this creates a terrible fear of playing AI. Most of the time, people don't even know you exist, people don't talk to you because they're not used to anyone playing AI, and you have to resort to talking to any bots since nobody else cares about you. The laws should definitely be looked at, the restrictions AI has should be lifted, especially if the whitelist process is so thorough and easily reversible. Even still, I'm willing to go through it and risk losing it again just to tell a story and open doors for people, because, as mentioned before, this is essentially the last SS13 server with a playable AI.

P.S.: I would love to join/help the people assigned to AI staff fix the issues I listed, if that was a possibility.

Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they?
― Yes. A 24-hour ban. It was supposed to be a "chill out and take a break" ban, but the staff member who issued the ban was not aware that any administrative action would result in the removal of the whitelist. As aforementioned, I still think it was an unfair and unnecessary ban, but it has been almost three months by now.

Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action?
― Yes.
