you can just pay to have charges dropped/voided there is no point in caring this much anymore

Lately it just feels like powergame is being defined insanely broadly. I've read the rules but it seems like on all sides of RP lately be it crim or gov is just being widely voided. You can't use the laws as they're written if they're gonna hurt someone above made (even made cases get voided too really). If the case feels like it might have lasting meaningful effects due to faction negligence, that's worth a void. This one is actually happening a lot lately. Charges stemming from negligence will be dropped especially when dealing with technicalities -- a staple of law that was used to bring historically relevant mobsters to justice. The server has gotten insanely soft on this issue. You can't send UC's without meeting a long laundry list of criteria but if they're from an enemy alliance on an alt char that's powergame but it's conflict to send em if they have an allied alt (don't even get started on the cross-char consequences too that's a can of worms on its own). Engaging in lawfare will likely result in a void. You can't weaponize the court system as a mobster or scumbag lawyer anymore especially when it comes to large sums of money from long established characters or government officials. This argument isn't even complaining about how hard it is for the gov to sue factions it's actually the other way around. Even now cases against the gov are being voided for powergame. LegalRP has been a diverge staple and hallmark but it's constantly being eroded. Detectives being hamstringed. DA's office having its time wasted. And now even crim/civ lawyers can't bring cases to be a menace anymore. Nothing feels IC its always having to fight your case with UA and the Court at the same time it's just not fun anymore lately. Anyone have clarity or a way to fix this problem reasonably?

You might be the most retarded reply so far congrats

More or less we need SOMETHING we can try to build or use against a faction that can have lasting impact if successful. There's just nothing the gov can meaningfully do against a faction these days.

It's been a year, give this guy the ol' rule test and another chance mr Bacon +1

"my buddy got banned" aka your second account

Your Character or Steam Name: Dikembe Mutombo Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:193446101 Your Discord ID#: narekalfasuper Reason for ban: RDM POx10 / Ban Evade Attempt Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): I've spent a lot of time on this server, its been more than 2 years since I've joined. I've spent hundreds of hours on this server playing alone and with friends. In this time I've had highs and lows, lows which Im not proud of. I have made many mistakes and broke many rules in my time on the server which I really regret and i'm sorry about. Most of my bans came from RDMing people and it ended up being the reason for me being permabanned 1 year ago, I caused harm to other players by being harsh and stupid and getting into trouble where I always ended up pulling out a shovel or a pistol. After i was permabanned I made a desperate attempt to comeback in the form of ban evading which I can't justify as it was a desperate attempt to comeback to a server I loved so much, I can only apologies and show my real change through these words, I can only ask for you to give me a chance. Why should you be unbanned? After my ban I have spent a lot of time playing on gmod, playing Dark RP servers and some SCP servers and i have been playing on servers for a good period of time and i haven't been banned by being better at roleplay, especially playing on project synapse where rp is kind of strict I was able to provide good rp to the server and make it enjoyable for me and other players, unfortunately I haven't felt the same feeling on gmod when playing those servers compared to diverge, i have a huge desire to play on this server as there is no server that can give the same quality and bring me the same joy and freedom to express myself on gmod. I also feel that I've grown as a player and especially as a person as its been a year and Im now more mature and now have real responsibility in the form of a job which has taught me how to be more patient and follow rules. Last time I made my appeal, Canadian said there wasn't a way to show that I've changed, and I feel that me making this ban appeal is me showing change, I am making this appeal because i want to comeback to this server and roleplay. Not RDM. Its a new year, i was banned in 2024 its now 2026 and its a new decade in mafia rp, and I'd like to start it fresh as a changed person.

As someone who ran pretty much the only successful British faction for a number of years, i'll give you my input. +1 - I think the app is pretty decent, and I wish you guys all the best. PRO - Diverse, it's great to see someone else attempt a British faction. - Play time seems alright. - I liked the backstory to a degree, although it does have some issues. CON - The breaks in the backstory are frustrating and some of them don't really add anything to the story. IMO you'd benefit from bigger time gaps, to add more text to your paragraphs. - I don't think you give enough examples of how you intend to be different from other factions. The VIP club thing is actually something we used to do weirdly lol. I'd like to hear more about your proposed business ideas, if you're steering clear of violence for a more business approach, how? you mention you want to steer clear away from standing around RP but by owning a club, you're going to end up with standing around RP. Considerations - Take it from me, you should decide early on if you're going to try and get people to talk in an english accent, or just the main guys etc. In TDS, I benefited greatly from the high command being actually British (for the most part) because trying to do this down the lines flops extremely hard. - You mentioned a gentlemen's club, don't put poles in it for the love of God - learn from my mistake lmfao. - Fuck Billy Kimber, here's what happened to the last Kimber. https://streamable.com/fu3qcz

Bro just do 20 tickets a week

I know I and at least a few others would be interested in being GMs and doing occasional mini events but aren't interested in being staff. The obvious main advantage to this is more roleplay in a city pretty much devoid of (good) roleplay currently. Literally just make it so GMs do not need to be staff to be GM and then more creative and impromptu roleplay events can take place.

Best server on Gmod, 3 hours of playtime,. MRDM + attempted ban evasion. Who are all your friends on the server that will help you turn a new leaf?

Not sure what you're talking about here. Whatever alt ban occurred was automatic and it does not go by username. CONSOLE Ban length changed to permanent due to ban evasion attempt on SteamID, STEAM_0:0:902232805 2025-06-18 04:16:30 Prefer honesty here, if you logged in with an alt by accident you just have to admit it.

18 total previous bans. Yea can't be letting this one go, sorry man.

Fairly certain we had the same sort of appeal in 2024 when i accepted the perma unban. You took the second chance and threw it to the wind. I appreciate that you're keen on returning but since you've already thrown away chance(s) we gave you I have no guarantee that this time you'll actually play properly. The risk vs reward makes no sense. If you want more information as to how we can work towards an unban then make a ticket in the discord. If you're banned from the discord you'll need to figure out a way to reach us there, but for now I have no reason to accept this, or to trust you at your word.

poop from an ass

We need more motherfucking in the server +1

I know im late but ey lets start a good year in diverge

Hello! As Ace already stated you had clearly already made yourself no longer a threat. I was able to corroborate this account of events from the Senior Officer present and listed in your appeal as well. In the future, be careful with your "warning shots". The officers could have reacted to the shot sooner and it would be valid or you could have faced staff punishment for RDM. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

Nothing to apologise for! It's the new year and everyone was busy parting and stuff. things happen non the less. Thanks for taking the time to respond Ace - hope you had a good holiday.

Hello! I'm the Pk'ing admin! Yes I did talk to troubled ghost and I did encourage you to appeal cause I felt like something was off but was unable to get either logs proof or clip proof. While shooting the person it could be that you shot the cop, or simply the bullet ricocheted and then struck the Probationary Officer. From the logs and clip it seemed like a standard violent confrontation with police, especially cause the cop managed to respond about 30 seconds later. Unfortunately the probationary officers clip was not clear at showing me that you did not have a gun out and were no longer an active threat- hence why the other officers didn't react; that was negligent on my part and I do apologize.

Your Character or Steam Name: Jalopy22222 Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:511374435 Your Discord ID#: motherfucking Reason for ban: Mentioning civic networks in the diverge main discord. Length of ban: Perma. Reason for appeal: Apology Why should you be unbanned?: It was a stupid thing to do, and after waiting for half a year, gmod is really boring without this server lol. I haven't really appreciated how goated it is until now, and if I could be let back in, it'd be great. I remember when I started playing in the summer of 2021, it was heat, still is. Would make a kickass late Christmas present. I miss grinding bricks for the don Also I should talk about my POs, since I think I've got quite a few. All I'm gonna say is that I started playing this server when I had like just turned 14, and for a majority of the time I've played I was a massive antisocial loser lol. I took everything way too seriously, but not seriously enough to care about the rules all that much. I feel like in 4 years of playing you're bound to pick up some POs, but maybe I've got more than the average. Definitely not as much of a knuckledragging moron as I was before. I think by the time I get perma'd, I was jaded with the server, like after I had gotten to mayor I didn't feel like there was much left to do. I don't think I really appreciated how much stuff there is accomplish on Diverge, and after looking back, I think all that complaining about server systems and shit was kinda just wasted time. Diverge has good systems, it's a really satisfying server, I just didn't have the appreciation I do for it now. Which is why I talked about civic in the first place, which went absolutely nowhere lol. I think it'd be sick to play again, and just quit the server eventually on my own terms, rather than being lame and being all apathetic about it. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): N/A
