Full ban reason: As URF I stole, two ghosts a troop carrier, and went down to the KS7

Appeal details/ Why should you be unbanned: I was a  little mis-informed of the inter-faction weapon rules, I'm not going to use covvie/UNSC weapons, for some context a few weeks back there was an conversation in OOC  about these rules, in which OOC was muted but before OOC was muted some one with a colored name said that vehicles were the exception to said rule, I dont remember who said, in fact i responded by saying that it didnt make sense for that to be so, so yea won't do it again

I was trapped with the Viceminister of Sanitation within the VT9 medbay, along with a grunt, while numerous humans including ODST were outside trying to come in to kill us. I was severely low on ammunition at the time, and the Viceminister told me to use a Confettimaker that was present in order to defend their life. I used the confettimaker in order to protect the prophet from death, and I was stripped by the admins mid-battle, which got me immediately killed. When I ahelped about this issue, Macto told me that even though it's a minor heresy and it was done by the order of a prophet with the intent to protect the prophet's life, I would never be allowed to do it. When I told him that I thought he was in the wrong about this, all I got was "cool." in response. It's a pretty unprofessional way to act,  and also pretty poor handling of it. Even if he had issue with it, he should have spoken to me AFTER, instead of wordlessly stripping me mid-fight, considering I had a prophet telling me to do it to defend their life.

I was additionally sent a screenshot by the player of the Viceminister of Sanitation, who authorised my use of the Confettimaker.

This showcases some pretty poor professionalism on Macto's side. I think it's pretty appalling that he's allowed to do this, and I think it needs to be stopped immediately.

Summary: introducing a verb that sets your layer to 0 (or if that's used for something else then the layer below everything.) to hide it so you can just relax and watch the battles without your ghost getting in the way.

Summary:  being able to zoom out further as a ghost just so you can see a full battle taking place would be some nice QOL. In regards of how far I'll leave that down to you.

Currently ONI is in a really awkward situation of being an interesting Rp role and being rather dull due to a lack of any interactions with the other factions or anybody else. I'll probably mention this quite a lot but there really aren't many players wanting to play ONI either unless it's late into the round as then there's a chance that the base might be raided.


Let me reiterate that RP wise ONI is brilliant it's just that for example if you play  a guard/ guard leader your job is to just stare at sand for 40 minutes, if you have a fellow guard (most of the time you won't until late into the round when someone respawns as ONI) it's alright but it's still dull compared to playing any of the other faction roles. Additionally you can spawn round start as a guard but have no researchers so your existence is pretty much moot besides defending an empty facility.

Researchers/Director, they've got research to complete and the can RP with the guards, go out to the mine and explore. Great stuff, however once they've researched their whacky new contraption of death they lack anybody to use it on because it's not like they can go off world to fight.


Idea Number One:
So I'd like to propose something to liven up playing as an ONI role:

-Hostile mobs attacking the outpost. (whether it be flood, some bugs etc.)

It's a simple gesture but I believe it could help with the current issue with playing as any of the ONI roles right now.

By adding hostile mobs it means:
- Even if there's one guard oni player and nobody else they still have something to do and not just go ssd after a few moments of trying to rp with themselves.
- Hopefully would encourage more players to want to play ONI.
- researchers get to field test their weapons against an actual foe instead of cardboard.
- Doesn't need to rely on other factions wanting to land and interact or



I mean it's not exactly a fix it's more of a bandaid to help make the roles a bit more fun.



Idea Number Two:

Have ONI be actively involved on KS7 with a temporary (tent like) outpost so the researchers can explore the remains of KS7 for artefacts and the guards are always on an escort/defence order in a highly active area for all factions meaning more RP interactions. The issue would then be KT9 and what to do with spawns there.


I'm just throwing ideas out and hoping that some of you chaps will as well to help improve the ONI roles.

Summary: Additional cigarette vendors added to the ONI base. Probably just one in the barracks bar/canteen and one added into the lvl2 break room.

As it stands there only seems to be one on the outpost and that's the hangar one which is underground and rather out of the way.
