Hi. I'm ArcZelf but on the station I usually play as Kruum(a drask), or Clam(a slime). I have 1113h (as of the time posting this) and I am still complete and utter dogshit at this game. I play a variety of jobs but the ones I play the most are Scientist, Chef, Miner, Research Director and Head of Personnel. If you're a mentor, you might know me because of my mentor helps that I 100% genuinely am stuck with. (mhelp in the title is infact a real mhelp). If you're not a mentor then you might know me through my drask character which looks like an enderman if they had a third eye. I don't play any other station other than Paradise since it was my first but I do very very rarely play Colonial Marines. Feel free to ask any questions you might have, I'm going to try and be a bit more forum-active. =))))))))))))))))))))) Hope to meet all of you ingame if I haven't already.

Give me 2 days

I return again for a monthly dump I'm gonna split some of these up this time :] Buncha doodles based off convos when I had no tablet pen Doodle batch 1 More finished-up ones :]

I would love to get some tips and tricks on being an HoP

I got a request for all acc of station to voxxy and when I asked the cap about it he said no deal they are bad what was that all about?

I can maybe say for at least a few people who've gotten your mhelp: "o7 drask gamer" also do you know why security takes a lot of burn damage? because coppers are great conductors, but terrible insulators.

This shit is why I ssometimes seriously consider removing vox. I wish people would play their lore not bullshit meme baby talk shit. Admins are encouraged to give vox who act like this brain damage to make it more realistic rp

Ya heard what Bri Bri say. Best if you fools keep out of the way. Cuz MC Shadey brung it back from the grave! So y'all better think twice before you mis-be-have. Now we've got new badmins on the scene. Dropping sick new beats, actin more obscene. A new old player comes to the stage. Dripping with passion, fuming with rage. Enter ZN23X Fill yo life with regrets. Think we can't do it? Think we can't compete? Bitch please. I've got more wins than defeats. @ShadeykinsI love you so much for this treasure! Whoever thought that life could bring such pleasure. Smack this G with a baton. If y'all'd like my sick rhymes to carry on. I love this thread so much.

In my experience here, the "racial cliques" are a very poor source for balance, due to the bias inherent. Of all the racial cliques I've seen, the current main Vox clique is one of the most toxic, hence the sheer number of bans handed out. I don't particularly care what the self-appointed gatekeepers of the Vox think, based on how myself and the staff team have been treated by them, the lies spread, accusations of "promoting racism", and other such nonsense. Our most recent overhaul of Vox (when spaceproof was removed) resulting in a pretty disappointing reaction from the "community". Being that I'm being told of efforts to brigade and mass-downvote PRs on the github and protest OOC while in the IC environment, I'm not really eager to enable people for acting in such bad-faith. This is further complicated by the numbers of people who see themselves as "vox mains" and thus take anything against Vox - mechanics or lore etc - personally. I'm frankly too old to care about the opinions of people who can't separate their own identity from that of a fictional race in a niche online game. I'm not a therapist. On top of that, there's this false-solidarity, as if every member of the "vox community" agrees here. It's certainly not a monolith, based purely on the amount of people I have messaging me about their issues with said community and disagreements that they uncomfortable voicing around such toxic elements. People don't get any extra weight leant to their opinions because they've joined a discord full of banned players - quite the opposite, in fact. I'd like to assess each PR on it's own merits, rather than because of an active campaign by a vocal minority to push for it. This is not to say I don't think we should be continually trying to make every race - including Vox - better for the server. Thank you very much @Djvoid225 for bringing this up in a productive manner - a forum post and google doc is actually something solid and concrete I can work with, as opposed to random sniping on PRs and on discord. I'm hoping a shared space like this for people to work on, and see what ideas come about, will lead to some productive brainstorming and ideas. This is the correct way to do things that makes us take you seriously and listen to you. Feel free to DM me for any further discussion on this. Protesting ICly in front of the bridge or mass-downvoting other PRs in protest means that we will actively stop caring about your opinion. I'd love to have more unique, RP oriented features for all of the races is possible, without overly affecting game balance. But you shouldn't need mechanical features to RP. How drunk you act is up to you, you don't need mechanics for that. Following the Inviolate would be a very easy way to make vox more unique than they already are on the station, but that would require people actually RPing species lore and not just being generic shitbirds. The Organ thing @SteelSlayer mentioned could do with work for sure, it's so stupidly niche I think I've only ever had it be relevant once. I'm not at all attached to it as a mechanic. Brute damage, etc, is used as our easiest representation of "small and not good at combat". With us looking at various upcoming changes to combat, that kind of thing would be best to leave alone for now, as any tweaks would have to be retweaked again. Overall they could likely use some kind of buff to make up for the above malus, but by all indication Vox are a very popular race, and the priority on changing them is quite low compared to other areas. Small tweaks and additions would be best suited, rather than a complete overhaul akin to the removal of leap/spaceproof/etc.
