Ignored. If he gave admin to one person who asked one here, he would be pestered to no end. Most likely any new admins will be someone he knows/trusts, or someone nominated by an existing admin.

He may have run out of those, else he should probably get them on the team, its getting pretty messy on the server.

I vote giving Orb admin.

Anyway, now for the most important question ever:

Are Wizards considered human?

Personally I'd go with the Tolkien version of Wizards in which case, no ;)

I believe they are given some cosmic power or ascended or born from a different race so no.

That last gobbo would stand there, missing an arm, punctured in a kidney, liver, and spleen, fading in and out of consciousness at the far end of where the drawbridge would go, and his last sight would be the drawbridge dropping down and smashing him like a bug.

God DAMN I love this game!

Doesn't the server say wizards are rumors and probably don't exist?  The AI likely has knowledge that they're rumoured to exist, but given that there's no definite statement of what they are(e.g. Nanotrasen has confirmed that wizards wear blue robes and hats, and carry a staff, cast spells and all that...), the wizard may be a human intruder with unknown advanced technology.  Unless it's laws are updated, it should treat him/her as a human.

I'd say they aren't human though in actuality.

Oh and I'll try to stop by tonight and admin some.  Been working on homework and such.

There comes a time when you must take off the soft, furry slippers of a boy and put on the shoes of a man.
Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

This is one of those unspoken sub-laws. If evidence suggests that an entity is human, it is safer to assume that it is a human rather than making a mistake and harming it. If the entity is clearly not human, the laws don't apply.

A Wizard is a bipedal creature that looks human in all respects, acts just as sociopathic as the other humans on the station, but possesses either magic or advanced technology. The AI could defend against it by aiding the station crew or hindering the Wizard, but directly harming the Wizard would be against the laws.

Then again ... "or by inaction, allowing a human to come to harm" suggests that the AI must work hard to prevent any violence against humans. Even if the human is doing the violence. An Asimov AI would make a horrible prison computer, since it would be forced by its laws to simultaneously release all the prisoners, and hold them forever to prevent them from harming innocent humans outside.

Wonder what the AI would do.

Whoever plays Moby Disheart should be warned/banned:

He killed me randomly, without warning, as the captain with a laser gun in the first 15 seconds of gameplay, then ran around laughing that he had my blood on his armor. Oh, and he wasn't the traitor.

I think his OOC name is Combotroop.

EDIT: Okay, Headswe revives me. I head back to the courtroom to get my stuff back, and find the captain (The guy who killed me) had already stolen it all and was standing over it holding a mop which is to my knowledge one of the most deadly weapons besides the axe and the laser sword (For some reason). I tase him, and have a brief firefight with a doctor while dragging the captain back to security to talk to him and ask him why he was so pissed off at me. I immediately get spaced and banned, Headswe saying that he's "Tierd of your crap" and that Moby had plenty more chances than I had.

Actually, I'm not even sure how long I'm going to be banned for because I left before he could rant on about how long he's been waiting to ban me and all that. I really can't play on the server anymore as long as Head's an admin...

Trials for everyone wanting to be an admin would be best. We can always be kicked later right?

Hell, I'd pay for you not to become an admin.

Hmm, Pillow, would you consider running a 24/7 server for us if we don't make Micro an admin?

As for the admin trials, I'll start planning out the extremely deadly completely safe trials of skill needed to become an admin.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

No. I have a nice rig that suits for it, and a pretty fast connection, but the only problem with it that it breaks connection ever 24 hours, which doesnt allows me to start a full-time server.

Admin war relating to my ban+chaos in OOC. Holy crap.  :o

EDIT: Oh, wait, apparently I really am banned now then. Ah well, I could probably use a break from it anyway.
