Baguette Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) BYOND Key: Skaterboybob Character Names: Sean Cromwell, Booker Craddock, Abram Stevens, Carl Duran, NanoTrasen Doors 10 Species you are applying to play: IPC What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes. Yes I have. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race: Well, frankly I just want to play it because it seems like a neat race. I mean, seriously. A robot with a monitor for a face? AND HANDS!? You gotta admit that's pretty awesome. I've played IPC before on other servers, So I'm experienced with the species. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: Well, This species is alot weaker than a human, but this question is asking what roleplaying difference there is. The roleplay differences could include things such as an IPC being able to delete its memories, making it alot harder to solve a crime if the suspect is an IPC. Another difference would be the fact that IPCs would just be pretty pissed by the removal of their head or limbs, while a human would be fucking screeching with agony or dead. Character Name: BlankBot (Full name Blank Disk Commercial Integrated Positronic Chasis Robot for Commercial or Personal Use (BDCIPCRCPU)) Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs BlankBot was first introduced at Synthcon 2443, and was showcased for being one of the most advanced IPCs of its time. It sold approximatley 50 units at the conference, and went on to sell 20,000 more copies of the model in total. BlankBot was not only showcased, but demonstrated at Synthcon 2443 (see Audio log 1-A) Audio Log 1-A Spokesperson: "Hello, Hello! Thanks for coming. I'm sure you all know why you're gathered around this stage, Huh? *laughs*. Anyway. It's a great pleasure to introduce the 'Blank Disk IPC'! BlankBot:"AWAITING COMMAND." Spokesperson:"Oh, yeah, right. Uhm... *ahem*, Load personality module C:\USERS\ADMIN\PERSONALITIES\A-24.BAT. Whew, that was a mouthful." *Laughter from the crowd* BlankBot:"RUNNING FILE..." Spokesperson:"Anyway, while he does that, I just want to point out that if you dont want to have to specify every single command, There're built-in peripherals. Just press this button on his monitor, and Bam! You got yourself a keyboard." BlankBot:"PERSONALITY FILE LOADE- Guh, woah, uh... Hey. Hey there... I guess..... This is weird." *a bunch of uninteresting garbage* END OF AUDIO FILE What do you like about this character? The ability to alter how he acts at the flick of a switch, meaning he can turn from being an incarnation of fucking Ned Flanders to Leatherface in 0.5 seconds (only if im a tator though. I wont randomly murderbone). How would you rate your role-playing ability? At least a solid 7 or 8. I'd be lying if I said I haven't seen people with better roleplaying skills than me. I'm not perfect. Notes: I have previously played an IPC character on servers like Paradise Station, So I am experienced in the species. Edited May 9, 2016 by Guest Link to comment
rrrrrr Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I am not super duper sure on this. Would like some feedback first before doing anything. Link to comment
Nanako Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 My experience with the named characters are mostly negative, The application seems kind of ....memetic I'm leaning towards a -1 Link to comment
Killerhurtz Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 -1 from me, Baguette leaves a bad taste into my mouth and I especially don't like the fact that he explicitly stated the character has a "combat mode" as it's stated. Link to comment
Outboarduniform Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 -1 3 sentences is not a paragraph. i also agree with Nanako , this app is all too memetic Link to comment
Baguette Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 -1 from me, Baguette leaves a bad taste into my mouth and I especially don't like the fact that he explicitly stated the character has a "combat mode" as it's stated. the 'combat mode' thing was just an example. Of course that character wont have that. That's just retarded. Link to comment
rrrrrr Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 If the character won't have it then why did you include it Link to comment
Baguette Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 If the character won't have it then why did you include it It was an example. What I meant by that example was he can change his mood at any time, From being really happy and friendly to being a compelte and utter asshole. Link to comment
DatBerry Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Carl Duran, one of his newer characters is actually pretty fun to have around, he may be a bad chemist, but at least he makes things more fun, he even made his own drug cocktail he just needs to make his drug activies more subtle and they would make a greater character +1 from me Link to comment
Jennalele Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm going with a hard -1. I have a tip for you. If you want people to trust you, you need to stop playing characters that are complete assholes, regularly breach the regulations of their jobs, stir trouble with the station, et cetera. Because at this rate, you're going nowhere fast. Demonstrate to people you can change and shape up. Make a character that's a decent human being for once, and show the playerbase that you do not simply play characters to stir shit and give Security a round-long headache. Link to comment
Nanako Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I've been working with Carl Duran recently. he is...odd There's no question he's bad at his job. He's a lazy chemist who makes and abuses his own narcotics. But he does it with colourful emotes and communication and roleplaying. It kind of seems like he actually wants to RP an abusive incompetent chemist, presumably to the eventual conclusion of IAA involvement and termination. I'm not really sure what to think of this.

rrrrrr Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 HmMMMmmMMM. I will let this sit for TWO MORE DAYS. Before coming to a conclusion. Link to comment
Zundy Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I like Baguette, he's RP play style seems caustic at first but as Nanako pointed out, he tends to play assholes to spice things up but isn't actually one IRL. +1 From me because when he plays it straight, it's great, and his "row row fight the powah" char's tickle my pickle too.

Brightdawn Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 -1 I've seen the character switch from cooks, to chemists, to surgeons to atmos techs and he keeps sexually harassing female characters, I can't give someone a +1 who acts like this and from how he acts in OOC I honestly can't tell if it even IS RP.

Guest Complete Garbage Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 -1, Duran almost always leaves a bad taste in my mouth; especially with how frequently he all-caps's over radio. But more that that, he often fails to deliver realistic or sensible arpees, at least imo. Link to comment
Baguette Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 you.. do realise i have more characters than just carl, right? Link to comment
Guest Complete Garbage Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 you.. do realise i have more characters than just carl, right? From what little I've seen of Sean, I don't really know enough to make a good judgement, but Doors 10 seems to me like purely a kek character. Link to comment
ArcBot Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 hmm, I just want to put my two cents on here. I just observed Carl as an engineer who inject himself with a random syringe he found, then decided to take a disposal ride leading to his death... Not sure if you're ready to role play another species yet.. -1 for now but I'll change it if I see improvement. Link to comment
Nanako Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Had the (dis)pleasure to play alongside Carl Duran in engineering today as Nanako Johannesen, where he was an engineer. A full Station Engineer, despite the engineering apprentice position being available. No idea why. He's a chemist, he has no business being in engineering, and if he DOES want to learn engineering then he should pick apprentice. As it was, he didn't seem to fully know what he was doing. I arrived to find the engine overheating at 3700k, and it almost delaminated before we stabilised it. He'd thrown the cooling valves and opened the core vent, thus venting all the coolant into space. Throughout the process of fixing the engine, he repeatedly screamed at me both IC, and OOCly (by using double parenthesis, and not the proper looc method.), called me various names including bitch and cunt repeatedly, and fixated entirely on shouting at everything he thought that i was doing wrong. Such as the fact i was wearing a voidsuit instead of a radsuit (because i was expecting gas leaks, and having to spacewalk to fix this mess), or his strange belief that i wasn't wearing mesons (which was entirely wrong, i put them on before i entered) or the fact that i wouldn't waste phoron tanks on the 'intercooler' which it turned out later he was referring to the waste compression loop, which is pretty minor and not at all relevant when the engine is in danger of delaminating. He was working off a wiki with apparently little or no engine experience, and he shouldn't be holding a full staff position in engineering. Following that mess, i attempted to teach carl more about the engine and the monitoring room controls, but he ditched my lesson and went off to drink at the bar. And then he managed to do the same tired shit carl duran does every shift, got high, caused a lot of trouble and suicided, he'd thrown himself down disposals and died. After he got cloned, he admitted to having picked up and injected himself with several syringes of god-knows-what that he found lying around, and ICly claimed going down disposals was an accident. It's still suicide griefing in my book. I don't care whether he's RPing a griefer, he's indistinguishable from the actual griefers we get every day, and just creates headaches for everyone I've definitely made up my mind. I don't want to give this guy any whitelists, i don't want him anywhere near any department i'm in, and i really don't want him on aurora at all. Not sure why he hasn't been banned yet.

Okay, I'll admit that entire round was a big-ass dick move on my end. It was 2 AM where i was, I was tired as shit and wanted to play one more round before bed. Like, seriously, I'm sorry for calling you those things. And at the time, yeah, i didnt realise that the SM cooled by having gas flow over it. I was only venting to reduce the high pressure. But.. You dont want me to have ANY whitelists or even play the server? Carl is just one of my characters, who happens to be the most well-known and the biggest nobhead. Link to comment
Guest Complete Garbage Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 If you want people to stop judging you for Carl's actions, I'd recommend playing your other characters more often. When your main is a dick, people will think you just play dicks. Link to comment

Medical already deals with this stuff constantly from actual griefers. We dont need more of it, and dressing it in a thin semblance of RP doesn't really change what it is. I'm just a vote, i don't have any power over these things. But if this is what you're gonna be like, yea, i don't want you here. You consistently make the round less fun for me whenever you're there Link to comment
