Lock Out System (repost per request and because lol LJ)
Temporary Lock Out
In brief, this will work like a mix between the something like the job board and a continuous mini-event revolving around the NPC Semley/ARM’s duties on the station and taking advatange of the two things players love--being horrible to their characters, and being horrible to other people’s characters.
Semley is as you know, Hypatia’s acting enforcer deployed on the station when the place started getting a little too crowded and rancorous for her Purge loving tastes. While essentially her right hand man/attack dog, Hypatia has kept her pet abomination squarely in the alignment of Lawful Neutral. Insofar he has and continues to not pursue any station resident unless they make it obvious they’re going to kill someone, break the lawn furniture, pee in the pool, etc etc.
That’s where Temporary Lock Out comes in. Temporary Lock Out is the step taken when a character makes an in-game ass of themselves OR if another character has reported them to Semley as a ne'er-do-well-type hooligan. Using his A-Tyrannical-Space-AI-Wizard- It-and-As-Plot-Demands abilities, Semley will track down the offending station resident and forcibly lock them out of a number of things the player can choose from.There is no end to the list of supposed transgressions your character can do. It doesn’t even have to be true! If another character comes up with a compelling enough statement, they can troll the ass out of their selected target by way of Semley.
For a set amount of time your character can be punished by having something of there’s taken away. It could be anything from their special abilities, companion animal/AI, weapons, armor, use of limb (unless you’re Charles), vehicle, station privileges (credits, access to part of the station, features on the wearables) or really anything your sadistic imaginations can come up with.
Another fun feature is your character has the option of knowing exactly who or what reported them to Semley, and why. Mind you this will of course all be done with player permission. Reporting another player’s character without that mun’s consent is VERBOTEN. It can be assumed that if you are reporting your own character without the help of another player, Semley himself reported your character.
Below are two forms that can filled out OOCly. One is to report your own character, the other, to report another player’s character. Please comment below with filled forms, questions, and/or comments.
Happy Trolling!
REPORTING MY CHARACTER
REPORTING [NAME]’S CHARACTER
NOTE: If enough interest in this beta of a game mechanic is garnered, it will be moved to a more permanent entry. Please comment here.
Conversely, please don't hesitate to contact Semley's primarily player, Odd. A private plurk over at rantler, or a ping on her AIM electricbeararms are the prefered methods of contact.

Names of involved players: Roy, Alex, Alba
Offending Character/s Name:Nightwing a.k.a. Featherbrain (a.k.a Dick Grayson)
Offending Character/s journal:
Offended Character/s Name:The Joker
Offended Character/s journal:
Brief nature of violation: Injudicious use of tights and public lewdness. Have you seen this hooligan's attire!? Why, my good sir, there are children on this station (probably) and they don't need to be exposed to people of that...particular fashion-based life choice. No, my good sir, they do not.
Requested “lock out”: For decency's sake, I suggest that this rapscallion's network communications be tagged with a warning advising viewer discretion and he be barred from any establishments that do not require proof of age.
Think of the little kiddos.
Est. length of lock out: Why a few weeks should have everyone properly warned, unless he reverts to his shiny scale-underpants days--BY GOD, then he should be barred from video entirely!
Offending Character/s Name: Mr. Freeze a.k.a. Snowflake a.k.a. Victor Fries
Offending Character/s journal:
Offended Character/s Name:The Joker
Offended Character/s journal:
Brief nature of violation: Slander and inciting public unrest! This fellow has publicly encouraged my dear, impressionable Harley-bear to believe that I would leave her comforting embrace for another's. Untrue! Viscious lies, spread with the intent to cause upheaval! Possibly to encourage Harley, in her grief-stricken, forlorn state, to attack me!
He's done it before (sort of, maybe,) and rest assured if this isn't nipped in the bud, he'll be causing riots and freezing blonde women into ice-cubes before you know it!
Requested “lock out”: Take that blasted gun away from him--he's threatened to use it on me and doubtless will attempt it again. Heaven knows what he'd do to poor, defenseless Harley if she decided to ask for an apology.
The man has a heart of ice, I tells ya.
Est. length of lock out: One week.
Offending Character/s Name: "Batman" (a.k.a. Terry McGinnis)
Offending Character/s journal:
Offended Character/s Name: The Joker
Offended Character/s journal:
Brief nature of violation: Identity theft and impersonation of an officer of the peace.
I know Batman and this? Not him.
I am terribly concerned for his safety, you see. Kids idolize the bat and they do some stupid things when they follow in those overblown footsteps. Hate to see him get hurt trying to mimic his hero, or encourage other children to do the same.
Those tykes are our future, after all.
Requested “lock out” I say the boy be grounded. No flight abilities or grappling hooks. He might hurt himself or crash into something. Keep his head out of the clouds, then kids won't see batman fly by and jump off a rooftop to copy him, and he can't fly into something he doesn't expect.
Est. length of lock out: A week should have him good and cautious.

Character/s journal:
Brief nature of violation: Attempting to hack/pry into the teleporters.
Requested “lock out”: Confiscate her portal gun. She'd probably be happier to lose a limb.
Est. length of lock out: A week or two ought to do it.
no subject
Semley can either destroy her portal gun, and bring it back later. Or hide it and be like you can get back if you find it. Either way the span of time without her gun is ultimately up to you after the initial week.

Character/s Name: Raimi Matthews
Character/s journal:
Brief nature of violation: Regardless of the risks involved, it's only a matter of time before Mr. Matthews here starts to get that itch to start being nosey again, and attempt to hack his way around the system for clues -- ANY kind of clues. He'd believe there to be something going on and he wants to find out what. Whether or not if he does is up to you guys. Just can't blame a programmer for trying, can't you?
Requested “lock out” Blindness. His ability of perception is heavily associated with his sight, so taking this away from him, even momentarily, would be a terrifying experience.
Est. length of lock out: One week would be enough to shake the shit out of him.
IDK AM I DOING THIS RIGHT?
ur shooting it rite
Raimi will have to make it fairly obvious that the shit he's pulling will be detrimental to the station. Easy enough.
Let me know when you want this!
oh yay ◕ ‿‿ ◕
An example for what would be considered detrimental? He would definitely try to pry his way through anything that he's locked out of (because challenges), and maybe go as far as attempting to reprogram some things (i.e. the A.I., which he's been working on in his spare time since he's been trying to debug his own A.I. program for awhile now). I also wouldn't put it past him to at least TRY and hack the credits system on a few occasions in the past, if that would also count as a violation that grounds for a lockout as well.
As for when... Sometime mid/late-February? Like the 20th or something?
（◕д◕） SUGOI
Reprogramming anything that would give Raimi some kind of foothold above the other residents, or maybe even Hypatia herself, would insight such a brutal reaction. Security systems, life support, a large number of red shirt drones, etc. etc.
Late February works! Sometime a little after Space Prom?
（●＾o＾●） KAWAII WA DESU NE~
After the Space Prom would be great. I wasn't around for the last one, so I'd really like to do that and THEN be a horrible person.

Character/s Name: Vriska Serket
Character/s journal:
Brief nature of violation: She's been breaking windows around the station for months. Addiction is a powerful thing.
Requested “lock out”: A ban from the MMO? Lame, yes, but WAIT. It'd probably be hard to catch her in the act, seeing as she just flies through windows and ollies outtie ASAP. If station drones or security cameras noticed her doing it, she'd be in and out fast enough that she'd probably just look like a giant bug or something.
So can I request that windows in more regularly-vandalised areas get boobytrapped with ~sticky flypaper~ and she get caught that way? PLEASE. I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVER.
Est. length of lock out: A month or something idk THE FLYPAPER IS THE REAL PUNISHMENT. >83
no subject
This is some serious domestic terrorism shit we got on our hands and we have pull all punches. After the initial week, you're free to let Vriska suffer as long you'd please. LOG SOMETIME AFTER THE TENTH, OR AFTER SPACE PROM? I can start with Semley setting up the fly paper.
no subject
I'm fine with whatever day is most convenient for you! SERIOUSLY I'M AVAILABLE ALL THE TIME SO YEAH. DFkljflskj also requesting that she just gets left behind all gummed up in the flypaper when Semley's done dispensing ~JUSTICE~ so she can send out an SOS?
