You kinda dropped off the face of the earth during your last trial. Why would this time be any different? You also can be kinda non-serious in PMs to players, do you think you can be serious when needed?

[SleepyWolf]

The reason I dropped off was because of final exams, had a whole month of just school shit, no chill. And that was the same month Fallout 4 came out, and I spent forever on that game after finals.

Oh, and yeah, I tend to be non-serious, but that's what you're going to have to expect from me if I become a mod. Shrug :^)

[Jboy2000000]

I don't think that's the kind of thing the other stuff should deal with, you should either shape up in your position, or not bei n it at all.

It also doesn't help that you have two complaints against you, that you're been notified of, and haven't attempted to reply to them at all.

Two complaints from me and Outboard in same thread. Other complaint from Nanako. Three complaints altogether.

Edit: Misunderstanding Complaint. Actually two complaints. My bad.

[Mofo1995]

It's worth noting that one of the complaints is over misunderstanding about if Bound Vaurca can be antagonists.

EDIT: This misunderstanding of a misunderstanding has been rectified. Anyways, I really like Sleepy's characters and have had a ton of fun RPing with him in the past, but I don't know much of anything OOCly about his behavior or what he's like. So, I'll try my best to keep an eye out for that before casting my support.

It is, yes.

However, Sleepy had countless complaints and even more notes about bad behaviour.

And something that irks me is this:

 

I tend to be non-serious, but that's what you're going to have to expect from me if I become a mod. Shrug :^)

 

Yes, we are not serious all the time. However, during your trial you often PM'd people ":^)" to people. Which you shouldn't really do. You should have a certain level of seriousness. You managed to be serious the last time you applied, perhaps you'll surprise us again.

But at the moment I can't give you the +1, so Ill remain neutral.

[TishinaStalker]

Oh, and yeah, I tend to be non-serious, but that's what you're going to have to expect from me if I become a mod. Shrug :^)

 

Then no, you can stay as a player for all I care. I will not support your app.

[Dreviore]

This statement SleepyWolf makes it sound like you don't want the job.

I get this may be a game to a lot of people, but it takes a certain level of maturity to ensure the game stays fun for other people, and a 'non-serious' attitude does not constitute that.

[SleepyWolf]

All I ever do is try and make the game fun for people, It's not that I won't take the position seriously. I'll use ' :^) ' less since it seems to rattle some peoples bones, but it's sort of morphed itself into my vocab, even in real life. Sorry, it was 4 AM and I was just trying to respond.

Basically, if I'm a moderator, I'll take it seriously - but not in the serious way where it's /too/ serious. That's what I meant to say. No overboard stuff.

[Killerhurtz]

-1 from me as well. Not serious enough, and has more clashes with lore than I can tolerate. Moderators are also there to give information when needed, and I honestly can't trust that Sleepy will deliver accurate information.

[Nanako]

Today he ordered a drone to start slaughtering mice, which resulted in it trying to break into the vault to kill tom, got insubordinate with the captain when she ordered him to tell it to stop, and said "Get fucked Nurzze" over the public comms when i asked him too.

And then in another shift he started spamming people with PDA messages containing a link to his soundcloud. Srsly what? completely ooc and unrelated to the game. Not sure how many, but i got one and a friend did too

In another shift he started undoing some of my engineering work, with an "oops i keep goinck" when i asked him to stop.

Maybe i just don't get along with him, maybe one or both of us just secretly hates the other, i don't know. But i don't feel sleepy is a great influence, and i wouldn't like to give him power. -1 from me

[Nanako]

oh and he slashed me across the face with a knife yesterday for no apparent reason as a non antag.

Someone actually LOOC'd him to check if it was just a misclick, he confirmed it wasnt.

[SleepyWolf]

If you put me in the position, I'd be serious about it. I was serious about it the last time I was trial mod, and I will be this time too. I'll prove I'm a good asset, and I'm here on dead hours frequently, even if it's just in the lobby. And my IC character has nothing to do with my OOC actions, vice versa. That round I slashed you, I'd had two zombie-men try and kill me, and people constantly pushing the thought that people were mind controlled, and not to trust anyone. IC'ly my character was extremely paranoid, and he's a little shit.

Anyways, I promise I'll do my job, and more. Help out others when they need it, put notes on every time I talk to people, etc. etc. No harm in making me a mod, and I've been in the community for two years. Don't want to do anything brash

[SleepyWolf]

Could you elaborate more? I've only been contacted twice for 'clashes with lore', and one time literally nobody else had heard anything about it either. I'd even gotten the O.K. from Jackboot about my first character lore clash, and I've been roleplaying their actions in a degrading way, and everyone treats them like trash because of it too.

Anyways, I've read all of the lore pages multiple times, done most of the jobs on station, and I'd double check everything and make sure I'm not misinforming people when I contact them.

[Killerhurtz]

Two times, yes. But both time, the reflected behavior was so off-the-mark about the represented lore, clashes so severe that I can't trust you won't make mistakes this big again.

For the record, the first time I have no detailed report but they misinterpreted, RADICALLY, the very nature of a Vaurca and acted against the lore, and second, they broke the lore by attempting to hijack the Glorsh character during a malf AI round, which is invalid on many levels.

[Alberyk]

If I can recall, the vaurca situation was brought to the species maintainer, which cleared any issue they had with it.

And about Glorsh;

He was an antag, Skull himself said that antags AIs are pretty much free to do anything in that area.

[Butterrobber202]

I dunno, I have played with Void a lot as Ssirus Zubrri, while he was mostly fun, he carried brief moments of Serious RP invoking his Race's lore which I enjoyed.

I would support giving him a shot

+1

[Nanako]

SLeepy seems to have turned things around a bit, i got an official IC apology a couple of days ago from zah

And then he's started playing a new character a lot, an IPC named Asimo who keeps building me lots of shiny exosuits to save people with. I'm really liking him, very cool guy to have around. In light of recent events, i'd convert my -1 to a +1

[Jboy2000000]

Well Sleepy being Asimo being changes things for me as well Because every time I see Asimo, they're annoying, on the verse of self-antagging. One time he changed the AI's laws several times to laws that fit his own criteria and purpose instead of trying to fix the AI's laws like I told him to, and then just last night he decided the best way to obtain metal was to rip apart the walls of the research department, and thinks it's okay to have a borg as your own personal buddy so they can break corporate regs and let them into areas they don't have access to.

Ok, i will admit many of the things asimo does are a bit silly, but he is also fun to have around, he makes himself useful, RPs very well, and he just gets things done. He's always on the ball supplying whatever's requested.

I've not seen him do anything violent, or maliciously spirited. The character breaks some IC rules, but i'm really liking him OOC, he brightens things up. The closest thing to real violence i've seen was when he badly hurt a patient with an experimental treatment. But he did ask permission first, and i was onhand to repair the burns rapidly, so no harm was done. The patient's player found the whole thing immensely fun, too

[Nikov]

Asimo disarmed and stole the crowbar from one of my characters attempting lifesaving rescue operations, making it impossible for her to get through the firelock and, in her understanding, killing the only person who'd been kind to her all shift. This began a raging torrent of salt as I tried to get the crowbar back, tried to get Asimo to stop hitting me, tried to get the paramedic to stop hitting me, tried to flee the scene, was chased by Asimo and the paramedic, wound up being trapped by more firelocks, wound up being pinned between the two people chasing me and Nandabun's cyborg trying its own lifesaving...

It was enough salt to put Morton's out of business.

[SleepyWolf]

If you're having issues with my character, it's not the same as OOC me. Nanako, when I shot that guy with the Ripley laser, I was an antag. Nikov, you were planning on crowbarring open a vented area when two others were in the same room as you - and the room we were in was /not/ vented. Jboy, that's something for an incident report. Lots of things happened IC'ly that round that I'd like to have as a secret for whatever upcoming IC thing gets brought up from that incident.

[Jboy2000000]

Like I said, what you were doing felt like being on the verge of self-antagging, so it has everything to do with you OOCly, and sadly I'm not in a position at the moment where I can make an incident report. It looks like you have a trend of just barely not breaking the rules, especially with Asimo. The round you have justification for left an especially bad taste in my my mouth. I was trying to do something I'd been planning for months, but instead I had to deal with Asimo's bull once more.

[slc97]

Yeah Sleepy just does not seem serious enough about the game or the role to be a good moderator. I'm not necessarily against giving him a trial though. If it were strictly make him a mod or don't make him a mod, it would be -1 from me.
