Ive already made several news stories for the news database on the forums, but Id need to do a lot of digging to get them all.

Preferred Mode of Communication: Discord

Additional Comments: I know Boot gave me a chance already, and I dropped the ball on that, and that's completely and utterly my fault. I hope, with this, I can afford a second chance at this, because I feel like I can really help people feel immersed into the universe. I know it seems like Im bragging with that long list up there, and maybe it is, but I really just wanted to show the work Ive already put into the lore I love, and that more than anything I just want to make it alive for myself and everyone else who is here to enjoy it too.

EDIT: Alright,I guess Ill throw my hat into the ring for this now that Hive is gone. It's no secret at all that most of my work has gone to the cats, I don't think I don't think this is going to be as grand as Serv's is, but in the end I don't feel like I want it to be.I want this to be short and sweet, and get what I want to say out.

Ive tried in the past to get people involved deeply with the lore, my Tajaran Broadcasting Network, and sadly that failed really quick because there was no public interest, but the lore team themselves were deeply interested in it, and I even had Taj Talk that had a good run before falling into obscurity. Thats what I always wanted to do, and thats what Im gonna try to do again, bring people into the fold, let them do something along side me that makes them feel like they're really part of the universe, deeper than the station itself.

Im not going to try and reform the who process of giving and taking away whitelists, Im just going to try and keep it how it is, I don't see a need to reinvent the wheel for just one species we have here. And since Boot brought it up for others, Im going to talk briefly about the acceptable backstory rule thing. I don't really see this as an additional rule, it's just something that shouldn't need to be said, needing to be said. You NEED to show you understand what you're trying to play, being a species, and going someplace else, doesn't show you need anything, and it shouldn't be acceptable for ANY species to say that, not just the Tajarans alone.

Boot also brought up the problems in the past about him being a DO and a loremin, and that being a problem for him. I don't know what they said, what the problem was, but whatever it is, Im sure I can keep whatever the issue is to a minimum, whether it's productivity problems, or problem with being too powerful, which it could well be since Boot was the head loremin, and if that's the case, I don't see that being a problem for me since most will agree all of my positions are minor, at beast.

And before anyone brings it up. Yes. I am Poslan, the pun cat. I can see people using that as the back bone of bashing this app down because people don't like the character. Before that comes to be a point here, I want you to scroll up, and look at my past work. Despite what you might think of the character, my work, and that character are two, very, very separate things. All of my work is serious, I don't light of it, and I wouldn't if I had this position under my belt.

I changed this, for obvious reasons now.

Hello! Thank you for your application. You have consistently shown solid investment in the tajara lore and a desire to participate in it, which I appreciate.

What do you feel on the current status of the Tajara species, specifically:

1) Do you think the rule on Tajara backstory acceptability is a positive change?

Answered already! You're a go-getter.

2) What balance between the three named faction is desired by you?

 

Ive tried in the past to get people involved deeply with the lore, my Tajaran Broadcasting Network, and sadly that failed really quick because there was no public interest,

 

There was a bit, and it was always interesting to see that develop. What other sort of campaigns do you have in mind for tajara/player interaction?

I feel like in terms of power, the three factions are just as they should be, realistically, and I would change very little, if anything about the amount of power these three nations hold. However, in the balance of publicity, there is a noted lacking of one side, the New Kingdoms. The Republic has their own outlet, the Liberation Army has their own outlet, but the New Kingdom is markedly left in the dust and barely mentioned outside of niche New Kingdom supporters on the station. I don't know how, but Id try to get them at least a little more noticed in the mind of players and the station's crew.

A lot of people were let down when Taj Talk was ended, and so was I. I feel like the TBN was and is a lost cause, but Im going to try my best to bring Taj Talk back to the best of my abilities. As well as that, I might try to make another IC group for being to be in. My first thought is reforming the religion of S'Rendarr and Messa as described in my lore canonization app, and then start a little fellowship of followers of the religion that work on the station, and train some of them to be Brothers and Suns' Sisters, and make little mini-events where people like that come onto the station at the behest of them, to teach more people about Tajaran lore and the religion, and it's heresies. Speaking of the heresies, if anyone is at least interested, I might do something similar for them, as well as for the worship of Ma'Ta'ke.

Thank you for your application, but it must be declined at this time as another applicant was accepted.
