-Support for Exspira Exspira is only deployed to D-Block when absolutely necessary (Partial + SCMD / WP Perm). We're also trying to deter Wardens from the typical "sit in d-block intersection and do nothing else" playstyle. I think we've restricted it enough. If you catch an Exspira sitting in D-Block and it's not partial, feel free to send it to me (ein#0001) or the Legate (Anhedonia#2522) and we can handle it. However, this is not a -Support for everything. I do believe that cloaking classes need to be removed as a whole, but we need to find something to replace them with. +Support for Zeta-6

from: Research Assistant Manager Simon Wolffe <[email protected]> to: Junior Researcher 'Roulette' <[email protected]> Subject: Test Log Grade Format: (25/25) Outstanding format, all the important details are easily visible and I enjoy the appearance of the SCiPNET Terminal, reminds me of a now gone great researcher. Grammar / Punctuation / Etc: (25/25) No issues with grammar or punctuation. Quality / Originality: (20/25) Entirely original log, I will admit that the log is incredibly short (I'd personally recommend adding some more details, I.E. the pre-testing procedures, perhaps the briefing given to the d-class, just overall try to make this a longer log, but remember that quantity does not equal quality.) Idea: (25/25) This is an interesting test idea, and it leaves room for an extensive amount of further testing and a lot of possibilities? How will this develop further? IF 173 can be slowed down, then we can find a more permanent containment method for the object. Total: (95/100) Outstanding work, my only recommendation is to make your logs more in-depth and have more information, the rest is perfect. I'm excited to see more of you. If you have any further questions you may contact me by email, I'm always available. (ein#0001) Kind regards, Research Assistant Manager Simon Wolffe

Format: 20/25 Same concerns as your previous log. Simply a bit "bland" with no uniqueness to it, could use some adjustments (refer to my previous grade on Log #4 for reference) Grammar, spelling, and punctuation: 24/25 Same concerns as your previous log. The overall flow of the log is a little weird, however there seems to be some improvement here in terms of flow. Once again, I'd recommend paraphrasing and looking at the grade I gave you on Log #4 for reference Idea, Quality and originality: 35/50 I combined the Ideas section with this one Significant improvement from your previous log in this aspect, the memetic kill agent aspect fits, and makes sense as that's probably what SCP-079 would do. Additionally, the inclusion of the image is neat. This log is also entirely original once again Total score: 79/100 Once again, I'm excited to see more of you, I'd recommend looking at my feedback on Log #4 (As I've already stated twice) for reference on how to improve.

Format: 20/25 My only concerns with the format with this is that it's simply "bland", there's not much flavor and uniqueness to the format and it's overall just a bit bland to look at, however, it does convey the information. I would recommend utilizing Page Breaks to separate the whole "password" section from the beginning of the test log. I'd also personally recommend expanding the size of your table for the 'Testing Log' section so that it better correlates with the rest of them. I think the best thing to do here is look at the formats of other research logs (my dms are always available for some good logs / formats to look at) Grammar, spelling, and punctuation: 22/25 Make some better use of your comma's and re-word some things, personally I don't see any direct or significant grammar mistakes, however the overall log just flowed weirdly. I would recommend using some sort of paraphrasing tool, referring to other logs, or hell, even refer to ChatGPT to rewrite the log so you can get a bit of a better understanding of how you should write logs. Idea, Quality and originality: 30/50 I combined the Ideas section with this one Everything flowed strangely, I don't understand how cryogenics related to a radioactive ball. Additionally, I don't see how this was a cognitohazard. Cognitohazard's are anomalies that cause undesirable / harmful effects to a person when seen / perceived, and this didn't seem to have this effect. My advice is to refer to the SCP wiki and look at some actual cognitohazardous SCP articles (if you can't find one, feel free to ask me in dms!) However, this document was completely original alongside the anomaly. Total score: 72/100 This document could definitely use some improvements. Do not take this as a negative review of your document or take this in a negative manner, this is only advice for you to improve. I'm excited to see more from you.

What are you suggesting? The addition of this: (https://www.gmodstore.com/market/view/talk-modes-whisper-talk-yell) add-on to the server. How would this change better the server? It's a simple add-on that I honestly believe could be great for roleplay, if you're tired of having Security being able to peep in on your d-class rioting schemes, or you're trying to rally a bunch of people, or literally anything, this add-on gives you the ability to do so. It allows you to talk normally, but also whisper and yell (increasing and decreasing the distance you can hear people from). It also seems to have active and helpful developers. Are there any disadvantages of making this change to the server? If so, explain. I believe that this also manages to disable hearing people through walls, which could be wonky for communication, but outside of that I can't think of anything. It could also lead to people being "annoying" and constantly running around "yelling", but this could just be resolved with staff. Also it costs $6 (far too expensive..........) Who would this change mostly benefit? Pretty much everyone. D-Class benefit from being able to communicate secretly, C.I. don't get heard through walls and shit, it's easier to rally large groups of people for MTF & Security for things. Also makes certain types of events (such as the Court event earlier today as of writing) easier to do. Please link any workshop content, screenshots, or anything that you think may be helpful to those who view this suggestion Add-on Link: https://www.gmodstore.com/market/view/talk-modes-whisper-talk-yell

+Support Consider this my apology for stealing your slot. :troll: No but genuinely, Pork Rind works pretty damn hard. Absolutely deserves the position.

STRONG +SUPPORT The only issue I see that might happen with this is the issue of people running into lower D-Block to avoid getting killed (an OOC zone), otherwise, I see literally 0 negatives to this.

Format: 25/25 Like your previous logs, I have no complaints about the formatting. There's a good contrast between colors while not being overwhelming, and everything is easily understandable. I will admit that the "NEUTRALIZED" part of the special containment procedures wasn't in the best position (I would've moved it like a line down or something or added some sort of "Revision" or "Update", however I won't take points off because it simply isn't a big deal. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation: 25/25 There were no issues with grammar, spelling, or punctuation in this log. Idea: 25/25 All of your test ideas in this log were interesting and I could see their usage. The use of SCP-057-CL was an incredibly unique and unexpected choice and it seems to have worked quite well. Outstanding work. Quality and originality: 25/25 Your writing skills are simply incredible, you have quite the eye for detail and consistently impress me and likely many other researchers with your test logs. This log is both entirely original, and executes it flawlessly, and the included video logs are just the icing on top. Well done. Total score: 100/100 Another outstanding test log, keep up the great work Dr. Zitterman. The Foundation thanks you for your service.

Mental Anomalies Division SCP-096 Threat Neutralization Accessing File... OOC Note: A simple file, however this will lead into some bigger things...

What are you suggesting? Find some way to stop the client from requesting files that don't exist on the server (I.E. dogbark.mp3). I'm not a coding expert, but according to some more tech-savvy users who use fancy debuggers and shit, the client repeatedly requests files such as the elusive "dogbark.mp3" on loop when the file doesn't exist on the server, causing server load times to be vastly increased because it just requests the file until it completely gives up. How would this change better the server? Vastly increase loading times by not forcing the client to repeatedly request a file that doesn't exist until it gives up Are there any disadvantages of making this change to the server? If so, explain. might take SMT some time Who would this change mostly benefit? quite literally everyone Please link any workshop content, screenshots, or anything that you think may be helpful to those who view this suggestion N/A

+SUPPORT IF IT CAN BE DONE RIGHT This would be a VERY tedious task for SMT, which would require an extensive amount of map editing. I am all for using Site-19 as a base, but several areas (especially D-Class spawn) would need a massive overhaul. I also would like to see a move away from the traditional LCZ -> HCZ -> EZ -> Surface layout that basically every SCP map has.

-Support -> Cloaking Healer & Combat Class -> Still less HP/AP than every single other cloaking class -> Pretty much useless in a raid Also another cloaking class

Format: 25/25 The format was neat and simple. It looks like what you'd see from an actual SCiPNET terminal. All aspects of this format were very nice, I have no complaints. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation: 25/25 Saw no issues with grammar or anything of the sort in this log. Idea: 25/25 This is an incredibly interesting spin on the original SCP-1315 file. While some details are taken from the original file, there is a unique spin on each part of this including 2 entirely original "exploration" logs. This was thrilling to see in action. Quality and originality: 25/25 Simply absolutely incredible. The images provided for everything perfectly fit the described story, and overall the story-telling was incredible. I don't have many words to say other than absolutely outstanding work. As stated in the Idea section, some details are taken from the original file, but each part has its own unique twist that plays into the logs provided. This is a level of quality I would expect to see on the actual SCP Wiki. Total score: 100/100 I simply have nothing to ask more of you in this regard, keep up the outstanding work, Dr. Zitterman.

The issue of lag isn't the server host, it's the 800 unused custom classes that have several hundred dollar "OOC" playermodels such as Eta-10 having a literal fucking anime girl with jiggle physics. And instead of removing unused CC's, because Gaminglight is a business, they auction off these CC's (and yet somehow 80% of these CC's I still have NEVER seen on the server in over a year of playing). Some of these models literally have missing textures. Honestly I think they just need to put these unused CC's into some sort of archive and if the owner comes back and complains about it then they can just add the CC back to the server. (Although I have no clue how Gaminglight adds CC's, so maybe this just isn't possible)

In Game Name: Ein Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:440507902 What's your current Rank & Branch: Security Major What Type of Command Position are you applying for (Senior Command / Low Command): Senior Command Date of when you first joined your branch: February 22nd, 2022 (prior to Retirement), January 26th, 2023 (after Retirement) Why do you deserve the position? (50+ Words): I believe that I deserve Research Senior Command because despite my recent return from retirement, I have an incredible amount of experience (almost half a year) in Command, and several months of experience as a member of both Senior Command (in Security) and as a Sub-Branch Head (Warden Legate). As someone who's been constantly advocating for more roleplay in the server, either through setting up my own checkpoints in HCZ or through just creating an engaging experience for the people around me, being able to take on a leadership position in one of these roleplay branches feels like a golden opportunity that I simply cannot pass up. I believe that with my time as both the leader of a sub-branch, in which I pushed several massive changes that boosted activity, and my experience in leading security to do an incredible amount of trolling against C.I, I deserve this position. What is your main goal of being Research Low / Senior Command (100+ Words): My goal with becoming Research Senior Command is ultimately to create a significantly more engaging branch that retains researchers for longer and overall improves the experience for players on the server, particularly newer ones, and creates an engaging roleplay experience. A lot of times newer players will come on the server and get instantly killed because it's partial lockdown, but I think that by leading researchers and creating interesting and interactive tests despite the server's limited resources in terms of SCP interactability, new players will stick around for longer, and older players will stay longer. The main thing that seems to be killing this server for people is a lack of roleplay which has been brought up constantly, as Research Senior Command I intend to change this and I will do everything in my power to accomplish this. Do you think there is any issues with the branch and if so how would you fix it: I believe the issue with Research is generally a lack of "enthusiasm" and a lack of creating interesting roleplay scenarios for D-Class and Researchers themselves. It's an issue with not thinking outside of the box for tests, and I think a way to fix this is to encourage people to take inspiration from elsewhere, especially the SCP Wiki. I'd love to see more cross-tests with an actual "purpose" and creating an actually engaging in-roleplay experience / universe. Giving ideas and feedback is probably the greatest way to inspire Researchers and keep them active. Why should we accept you into Research Low / Senior Command? (150 word minimum): I believe I should be accepted for Research Senior Command because I've demonstrated that not only do I have extensive experience in high ranking command positions with lots of responsibilities (Including Blacklists, helping out with selecting SCMD, promoting LCMD, etc), but I have the dedication and willingness to spend time necessary for a position like this. I think my best example of this is Wardens, essentially my child, where I not only ran the entire sub-branch as the Legate, but brought activity to new heights, occasionally seeing upwards of 10-12 wardens on at one time when previously people had been concerned that Wardens would die as a sub-branch. I also am incredibly committed to roleplay & logs, with extensive and detailed interrogation logs even after I had retired which consistently scored the highest scores in Wardens (38/40, 39/40, and even 2 40/40's), I've demonstrated that I have the necessary command experience and skills to be a member of Research Senior Command.

+Support I've always been for more "realistic" combat in the server, I'm not saying "guys we need to add leaning and prone and it needs to be like rainbow six siege because tacticool realism!!!" but like what has been said, it is unfun to fight against someone using crouch jump spam, and I've used it endlessly to get out of situations I probably shouldn't have gotten out of.

+Support This was denied in the past for "you can just contact SMT and we'll gladly tell you why", but I don't think people should have to go out of their way to go DM an SMT member (who is probably incredibly busy) to ask why their suggestion got denied. Doesn't even need to be super detailed.
