Frontier Station owner here. MechaGigaChad has, over the last 2 months, proven not only to be an exemplary player, but also an immensely valuable asset to our admin team. The quality of RP he encourages, enforces, and personally brings to Frontier is a shining example we point to for our players. The incident in question resulting in this ban seems to have been a result of poor decision and not knowing the proper procedures of asking administration. Despite this, their behavior on Frontier has been a shining example for others, setting a consistently high bar for RP. Consider this my official voucher of approval of good behavior.

Hi, qwerty here, you might know me as the one who wrote various songs such as Countdown and Starlight which are used in Space Station 14. Well the truth is, I wrote these songs nearly 3 years ago when I was in the beginning phases of teaching myself how to write music. Songs I did for SS13 that have been ported to SS14 are effectively my first actual songs I ever actually released, and it follows that they were some of my first experimentations with music. I'm not actually very proud of them, but I very much so appreciate the loving responses I've gotten from multiple communities regarding them. I would like to announce that I am not the same fool I once was. I am better, I am faster, I am smarter, I am stronger, and I'm back writing music for SS14. I have learned immense amounts of knowledge about music production over the last 3 years and I finally feel confident to write new music for SS14 again that I feel will match up to my personal expectations of myself. As all of my music is, all of my new releases will be licensed under a Creative Commons attribution license, free to use for all. So now I would like to ask the community: What music should I make? I need the ideas: what vibes are missing from the game? What could really use an epic song? What music needs a replacement? I'm all ears.

Hope this doesn't count as peanut posting. But I did notify Checkraze - the server owner of frontier of this players request for a voucher. So they may receive one from him as well

Use the admin message section of the forum and ask for a VPN exception. If the exemption is warranted and exemption will be granted.

epic we already had a rough translation on hand so I was really just curious of the blatant lie that was going to be told appeal in two weeks

= For game bans = Ban reason: Appears to have led a group that broke into atmos to sabotage it. Length of ban: Appeal only Events leading to the ban: When this occurred I was still a newer player, I wasn't brand new, but I was still in my shitter phase. I played a chaplain this round, and had another chaplain friend- I quickly realized that he was an antag. During this round we both got equipped with plague doctor drip, and began preaching the word of pestilence or something like that. We ended up getting an army of mice and bats that followed us (it was pretty fun and harmless). Eventually a rat king spawned and he joined our (semi-antag, I say semi since the other chap was antag) cult. The rat king was killed, and a slime took his crown then started pushing me to lead the group into atmos. I at the time had no idea how atmos worked so I figured id go along with it. Some atmos techs saw us and the slime and bats started attacking them, and critted them. I stood back because I didnt want to self-antag (even though I already was by trespassing, at the time I didn't realize that). When the round ended, an admin began asking in OOC what happened, and I immediately fessed up, and said they could AHelp me about it if they want any details, my side of the story, etc. I was not AHelped and instead just got instantly appeal only banned. ADDED NOTE: I was so disappointed about the ban that I tried to evade the ban with a second account. This account was also banned and I was told I could not appeal for 6 months after the original evasion attempt. Lonesoldier mentioned that this would be after September 6, 2023. Reason the ban should be removed: I have spent a lot of time in MRP servers such as Delta V and Frontier Station, and am in fact now an admin on Frontier Station. Not only has this been excellent for my understanding of the rules, but it's given me a first hand perspective of what admins deal with on a day to day basis. I am what you would call a reformed shitter, and always have an intent to RP in game. I understand that theres a fine line between clowning and self-antaggery, and how not to cross it. Quite honestly, when this happened, I was still new to SS14 and saw it as a sandbox- and while it in many ways is a sandbox game, it doesn't mean that you can do anything you want for the sake of griefing, antagging, etc. I'd really appreciate the chance to come back to WizDen so I can see what Upsteam has in store for Frontier Station, so I can enjoy time in high pop servers, and all in all- make amends for my past shitter antics. = For role/job bans = Role(s): Command Length of ban: Appeal Only Events leading to the ban: This one happened much longer ago and I dont recall all the exact details, but I will do my best to re-tell the story. I was working as HoP and doing a decent job at it, I had a scientist requesting some form of access, I dont recall what- but I told him I would allow it if he gave me something cool and science-y (I understand now from more playtime that this is obviously unacceptable and the best course of action is for him to bring me a stamped paper from the head of whichever department he needs access for). The scientist brought me an empty modular grenade and when I asked him what it did, he said "You'll just have to test it out." I went to... I believe it was the botany department, who I was on good terms with that shift, and asked them if I could try something. They said "sure." I assumed/hoped it was a gas grenade full of space drugs since i've seen that multiple times at this point. Threw it. And there was an explosion. Here is where things get confusing. First- I was Ahelped and given the "Kill" smite. Which I believe is totally acceptable and honestly even lenient. Was told I'd be RB'ed from command- again, lenient and acceptable. I stayed in the round as a ghost until it finished, and in OOC I apologized. I specifically recall someone saying they saw me throw the grenade and realized it was their chance. They admitted to causing the explosion, and said they used my empty grenade as a perfect cover to kill a target and get away with it blameless. Reason the ban should be removed: First of all- I understand completely that command roles are inherently an MRP role- even in an LRP server. They are held to a higher standard of RP as they are necessary for a functioning station. I also understand that this RB may not be appealed immediately since as far as you are concerned, I havent played since the permaban occurred. However, if given the opportunity to work command roles again (if the appeal above is accepted) I would utilize everything I've learned from my playtime on Delta-V and playtime as well as Admin work on Frontier Station. Quite honestly- I'd just love to return on a trust but verify status. I understand that I probably have quite a few notes built up here, but if given the chance, I would prove that my past behavior would not be an issue in the future. ATTACHED: Is some proof to verify that I am an admin in Frontier station. First is me utilizing the 'adminwho' command in the console which shows me as a 'tempomin.' The second is from the admin channel in our discord asking about that status- I am a full admin, my title just hasnt been changed in game yet.

Here's an advanced setup for making frezon. No pipes are stacked in this picture, so it should be clear how it's built. Text next to filters indicates which gas they are set to filter. Tritium is made in the segment with a heater. Filters pointing into their own pipe network function by letting all gas through except that which they are set to filter. Filter in top right corner is used to clear excess gas and let new fuel into the pipe chamber, set rate according to your available oxygen reserves. Nitrogen filter is set to around 15 rate, it removes a portion of nitrogen that's created during frezon creation; from sleep gas decay. To jump-start the contraption, a bit of nitrogen needs to be added to the freezer section.

Hi there, I'm the Head Game Administrator from Delta-V. This thread was brought to my attention because someone said that the staff of Delta-V handed out a voucher for a ban appeal. The voucher given out by Leander, to my knowledge, was not run by anyone on Delta V prior to being given. While we *have* given out ban appeals before (like two in all), it is only after a good amount of internal discussion between myself, BasedPugilist (Server Owner), and Alyx (Discord Manager). What this means is that the voucher that Leander has given out for this instance should exclusively be recognized as a voucher given off of his credibility alone, as nobody at Delta-V was even aware of a voucher being handed out. That being said, Leander is a fine administrator. He's done great work at Nyano and Delta-V, however this is *his* voucher, not *Delta-V's* voucher.

Do not "jokingly" call a union/riot/revolt whatever it is because this exact situation tends to happen where other people use it as an excuse to ruin everything. We will still hold you at fault for instigating the matter, jokingly or not. Even regardless of your "joking" instigation you still seem to have proceeded to attack someone and then "get violent" under the guise of your union antics. Don't do anything remotely like it again. Accepted.

And read paper! I think it's nice to have things that are ultra rare. Makes it special when they do pop up.

And just so it is all in one place (since for some reason you made a new thread on this subject even directly referencing the prior thread about a very similar subject), "Job Timers" shouldn't be "replaced" as much as they should be "supported" by other methods of gauging player competency, some of which I spitballed in the other thread: Admins evaluating player's performance - Massive administrative burden, not at all feasible or worthwhile to keep up with Players evaluating player's performance - favoritism and not indicative of learning Automatically administered tests after playtime met - Probably the best but needs tests programmed and designed, tests have to keep up with job content, and the test answers if not sufficiently randomized would be easy to give out the answers to Automatically detected milestones - Difficult to detect, needs extensive programming, may not apply to all situations, needs admin oversight in that case No role timers - incompetent/stupid people sign up for important jobs and griefers get instant access to the most destructive jobs on the station At the end of the day part of the game is about your co-workers not being 100% optimal at their jobs, nor do we want to force everyone to always show they can do everything to a high standard. It's a videogame. We want to ensure at least a basic degree of common sense and basic ability to do the tasks demanded of the department (on LRP), but any more restrictive form of gating outside of a timer I feel is unlikely to be healthy for the game.

Hey Crasho, don't worry, I'm not peanut posting. Here is the OG ban appeal : Ban length is permanent, not a week. You've also expressed your will to get your former account deleted, as you didn't want to "be associated with this garbage".

I hate to be a pill about this- but quite honestly, even being trusted enough to be made into a full time admin for a server as busy as frontier should in and of itself count as a voucher of good behavior. Won't comment on this again until a decision is made

I thought I had posted this weeks ago, but this works for me like a charm. I’m on the M2 as well. Thanks for figuring this out/linking it here

This is way too much text for something that's real self explanatory. Job timers are great and they need to stay. They do mend a lot of the issues. If we do not have timers there'll be even more dumb heads who got no clue what they are doing. Simple as. Whenever job timers "fail" that's simply the player's fault. I don't even know how many collective hours are required at minimum to be any of the department heads. But it's definitely up there and enough to have basic expectations for anybody playing a head. In my opinion all we need is temporary job bans being handed out more often or a way for admemes to reset your hours for a job. Plus an amendment or two of the rules so we can actually report every single instance of somebody being absolutely painfully bad at their job. No, I don't mean the average HoS getting ambushed and killed off in maints. I mean the type of shit where a department head will quite literally abandon their duties and go ride a taxi bot for 30 minutes and not spend a single thought on if his department is doing alright. I mean the type of player who signed up to be a head, then doesn't want to do his job but instead of handing the position over he just scadoodles around for an entire shift. The type of captain who will call the shuttle because the station is getting a bit hot. A HoP who is never at his office. Those egregious types of heads need their hours straight up removed or a job ban applied for things in the community to change. Some might think I am going a bit far with this but no. If I sit down and decide to play a round of SS14 I want to have the usual random (and often times unfair) fun that SS14 provides. Working for some absolutely incompetent egomaniac who doesn't even do his job is not what that should entail.

A letter from station Barratry Parody of: A letter from camp Granada by Allan Sherman Hello Muddah, hello Faddah Here I am at station Barratry Station is very entertaining And they say we'll have some fun if it stops meteor showering.

don't necropost a dead thread just to clown on someone please

To update everyone on Nyano as of this morning: I should be able to remove myself within a few days. I'm currently seeking clarifications because the conflation of codebase and server here are a bit messy. Nyanotrasen (the codebase) has a lot of downstreams, and Nyanotrasen (the codebase) has servers that run its unmodified code. Nyanotrasen (the community) can do without me, but the Nyanotrasen (the codebase) would be worse off and affect much more than Nyanotrasen (the community). It would also negatively effect Parkstation, Dryad, whatever the Brazilian nyano is called, etc. Once that is resolved I should be able to divest. Thanks to everyone who showed support through this.
