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.
