Prepare for disappointment, I quit booze entirely for personal reasons.

Do you prefer sweet or salty?
Do you have a favourite animal?
Do you have any creative hobbies?I love both, sometimes simultaneously. M&M's plus buttered popcorn is amazing.
I love felines, a lot. Cats, kitties of all flavors.
Not at the moment though I think I'll take up knitting when I find some time for it.

Roche.
Bryan isn't my actual name and is the name of a character I played yonks ago when I was really big on the role play scene. Some may also know that I was partial enough to the name to actually carry it over to my Naval Officer.

I've been, in a strange mood lately. Not as active as I want to be with the community due to personal reasons however, I figured this would be the opportune time to do something fun and since its slowly closing in on my second year of being a
janitoradministrator I wanted to also do something a little special as well so here it is.Ask Me Anything
There are some ground rules however.
- Obviously not at liberty to divulge certain things meant only for staff, don't try asking you won't get the answer you want. (Notes etc)
- I am willing to field questions about my personal life to an extent for those curious however I do enjoy my privacy so you may not get a response if its too personal.
- I am more than happy to take feedback on how I'm doing as an administrator as long as it keeps to civil remarks. I can and will enforce the rules in this thread so don't be a little butt head about this.
- Have fun!

Even if I'm having a good morning, I'm resetting your count.
May you all have lovely mornings, afternoons, and evenings spacemen.

Safe travels Spaceman.
It was a pleasure watching you grow from a potential shitter into a bright healthy and wonderful part of our community.
If you ever feel like returning you'll always have a home.

I've addressed this in my initial post, under lore reasons. But to reiterate: First, some maintenance areas are flavoured as abandoned station proper areas, which were originally meant for people to go to. Old bar was designed for people to go there, initially. Old surgery was once a normal surgery room, etc.
Second, just because an area isn't meant to be travelled through often doesn't mean you don't give them any ventilation, especially on a space station. And if you're at that level of cost saving, why does maintenance have lights?
Game play we keep the areas for different OOC reasons however if we're talking about IC reasons then really nobody except Engineers should be traveling through maintenance until it can be brought up to a safe standard. Old Bar, Old Surgery, the Drug Lab in Sci Maintenance, the Old Diner, all these areas are dilapidated and wouldn't be suitable for crew to inhabit.
To answer the why don't you give them ventilation? Breathable air is strangely enough a more finite resource than electricity. (IE Tesla Engine produces infinite power while consuming no resources.) The station CANNOT manufacture its own breathable air. It makes sense that it'd be substantially more expensive to ship air to the station to fill up areas that if used properly would only see Engineers in environmental suits with their own oxygen tanks.

Mention of monsters has summoned me from my pit. I've reset this thread to 0 in anger of being woke before returning and sealing myself up.

If someone has the skill and ambition to code individual effects for each addiction, go for it. The rest of us will have to use our imaginations.
Imagination is going to have to do the heavy lifting I feel. Its possible and would be neat to code individual effects for each addiction however it would make the code messy and snowflakey which are two things that I think the Maintainers and Heads are trying to avoid with our already pretty messy code.

Sorry to say but my first thought seeing this is "Wow, lets make it a whole lot easier for everyone to power game. Can't see how this would go wrong."
But seriously, EVERY implant gives some mechanical advantage. With the rework of how hunger works I wouldn't even be for someone round starting with the nutripump implant which is arguably the most innocuous implant you can get.

Admin's version of events: As Administrators we handle several appeals, most of them ours, some of them rarely the appeals of fellow administrators should they be unable to handle them in a timely manner or who have stepped down from the position as an administrator. In this instance I was handling an appeal that was submitted in which the banning administrator had stepped down.
Admin's reasoning for actions: The entire appeal consisted of this line.
QuoteYOUR APPEAL: it has been a few weeks so i figured id see if i can get an appeal through
To me it comes off as a low effort appeal in which the individual who is submitting it is seeing whether or not they can be un-banned. There's no acknowledgement of wrong doing on behalf of the user, explanation behind actions, or even presentation of facts in how the administrator may have placed the ban in error. I do not expect walls of text but I do expect at least some indication of more than "Hey, I've been banned for X amount of time. Trying to see if I can get un-banned."
I know I personally would've been more receptive to the appeal itself if one or more questions were posed if there was confusion about the process and would've responded to clarify this as well as potentially continue with the appeal process once you had an understanding of what was expected in the appeal. Even contacting staff via forum PMs or Discord DMs we're able to answer and clarify things regarding different structures of our server and community should it be needed. It is in fact one of our duties.
The thought process behind making you wait another two weeks is two fold. Its to prevent rapid re-submission of appeals that are declined as well as to see whether or not the individual themselves who posted a low effort appeal actually care enough about the community to wish to rejoin it. Low effort appeals are one of the many signs in my eyes of an individual who doesn't care enough about the problem that has cropped up with them that they're more likely to become an issue in the future. Even then, there have been times where I've been contacted by individuals who have explained the situation to me and asked for the time restriction lifted to which I've acquiesced.
As stated by the player in the complaint they have contacted me on the forums in PM, however in the interest of transparency and the fact that a complaint for review by a Head Administrator has been submitted there was no dialog about the situation.
Acknowledgement of wrongdoing or disputing of:
I do not believe that the method or the actions in which I handled the appeal were improper. I am, however, willing to in this case forego the time restriction of two weeks that I had placed upon submitting a new appeal and allow them to submit another appeal for review pending the judgement of the Head Administrator who handles this.

Welcome to Paradise!
First and foremost I'm obligated to direct you to here which is our server rules, basically what we allow and do not allow while you enjoy your experience. If any of them are unclear in any way feel free to reach out to any member of our Administration Team on our forums, on Discord, or within the game itself by pressing F1 and selecting adminhelp. Never feel bad about asking questions you think dumb, we much prefer it if you ask us to clarify something than us having to talk to you about an oopsie later.
F1 can also let you submit a Mentor Help ticket. Mentors are here to provide you with any type of information regarding game mechanics. All of them are wonderful individuals who will do their best to clear up anything that may confuse you. Our wiki also contains a wonderful amount of information including a Guide for Beginners to help you get acquainted with the controls and the interface.
I hope you have many wonderful experiences and stories to share from your time here and that your wife has only ever had good things to say about us.
Safe Travels Spaceman.

If you wish to discuss a staff ruling against you, either submit an admin complaint or speak with members of staff about it. Asking the general public for their opinions on whether you really were in the wrong in this situation is inappropriate.
This thread will be locked to prevent further discussion.

Personally I find the magic number for repetition is three.
Any repeats beyond that just wears out its welcome and I get the feeling these guys wouldn't last long before taking tool boxes to the head. Whether it be here or on Baystation if the event were to somehow happen in either place.

but I don't think Rat would get employed by NT... she too stupid.
I just wanted to interject on this particular statement.
A character I very much enjoy hanging around and interacting with is played very simple, almost child like in intelligence. He plays rather non-complex roles such as Janitor, Chef, Bartender, or even just hangs around as an assistant/tourist and has made/had some very interesting stories because of this. So don't rule a character out just because they're simple.
Either way I'll look forward to seeing your new character or perhaps Rat (with an appropriate name of course) if you decide to take her off the shelf.

Not a bad idea however something that might be a detriment to it. During station emergencies where Medbay will inevitably get a massive backlog of patients wouldn't this just increase the time it would take for critical patients who are standing as well as heavily injured patients to be treated and cause an even worse backlog for Medical? The concept isn't bad if there were very few situations where disaster strikes and you get a large influx of patients, however there are more times than a few where you don't have much time to interact with your patient before pushing them out the door to go to the next one.
Also, tying it to whether or not a player is lying down or standing up all treatments are going to have extended time since if the patient refuses to lay down (Doctors don't have stun batons after all to force them horizontal) its going to punish the doctor more by tying up their time with a non-cooperative patient which, actually happens more than I'd like to admit. I recall a Security Officer who couldn't even wait for us to close her incision from surgery before hopping up, dashing out of the OR and going back on patrol. They didn't come back until ten minutes later after they had lost quite a bit of blood.

As someone who plays chef rather regularly I like this design. Though more for the added security that people aren't hacking into the friggen kitchen without first facing a bartender and his shotgun.
I suppose the only real complaint I have is that it gets rid of the cozy little nook in back with the comfy chairs, bronze ash tray, and table for a more intimate out of the way gathering.
Also a tip for building while on an active server, Admins use Build Mode under the event tab. The copy/paste function usually how I move the slot machines before reverting back to Basic Build and deleting the originals instead of outright possessing them.

Your next project should be to build Trurl. Make sure there's a massive cannon pointed at Cyberiad for the authentic looming threat of Central Command BSAing the Captain.
Also this is absolutely wonderful and brings back very fond memories not only of SS13 but Minecraft as well.
Thank you.

I could post something philosophical about death, its a very deep subject and I could spend years talking about it and immortality but, I think this encapsulates everything wonderfully.
Life's too short to worry about these things. We're a bunch of tiny creatures crawling on a ball of heated rock being flung through space at roughly 30km a second or 67k miles an hour with quite literally millions of different ways that the entirety of the universe could end us before we could even blink with no doubt well over half of them being shit we'd never see coming.
Every second we're alive is precious. Don't live it worrying about when you're going to die. Live it making yourself and those around you happy because that's what really matters at the end of the day. Were you happy today or weren't you and if not how can you change that.
