Hello Vethar, Sorry for the delay, after some discussing I've came to the conclusion to lift your ban from your account. I came to an agreement this was properly escalated. You two were getting verbally disrespected by Pearce in the vehicle and you guys decided to follow him, since he was driving at walking pace, you guys ran up and started punching the vehicle which is part of the escalation. Since you can't really damage Pearce you guys roleplayed it out by doing damage on someones belongings (his car) In the video you provided you started the escalation yourself, you insult them and their reaction is them 'chasing' you since you're driving at walking pace through little italy and they have any right to confront you about it (also because UA and Commission is in the middle of a conflict) now that I looked back at it, to me it looks like YOU (Pearce) were hoping for some sort of reaction out of it, since you did not drive off. You were escalating it yourself and didn't really make an attempt to get away after you disrespected these men. You could've reversed with the vehicle and went on a different direction, since the guy with the christmas shirt was infront of your vehicle. You backed off and what it looks like to me is intentionally ran him over and said "Ight bet" which was a proper reason for them to kill you. You insult them, they respond by punching your vehicle after some words exchanged you ran one of them over and they kill you. Regarding the metagame accusations it's very hard to proof if they were metagaming in a vc which will be looked at. The other infractions they will be talked to about it but to me is to minor to give a punishment for, a nickname goes around the street and more between it Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The ban will be lifted from your account shortly. If it was deemed an invalid ban, it will also be removed from your record.

WRIting response did a whoopsie one sec

oh yeah pking someone with a infection would be hype

+1 I'm just gonna keep it a buck people hate logic ALOT when he's actually a decent guy with a slight squeaker voice. His suit is also drippy and he's been serious enough in cop rp to know he actually takes the server serious and isn't gonna minge 24/7

How to void body parts 1 on 1

+1 good idea like the chess table but better

+1 About to be 1990s RP so we shall get flip phones, to add texting would be a cool system to have and a actual good phone system.

This is like the inconvenience of hunger, It doesn't really add much and is mostly a inconvenience but adds a slight sense of immersion & adds to restaurant RP Yet this wouldn't add any businesses and would just be annoying asf

Make the shiv an invisible icon in your inventory, only viewable by putting your mouse on it. Can lead to sneaking in a weapon past security. And give it a lil buff so it's usable

-1 Sounds good on paper until you realize the server cap is 128 I've literally never seen more than 3 people in jail at once, the prison would be completely empty 24/7 besides 1 or 2 people Honestly, prison isn't very punishing as a whole so I don't understand the need for a prison

+1 Really good suggestion tbh I like the concussion part, some guns have a bleeding side affect so if they added that to knifes and other sharp objects that would be cool. Not sure how I feel about the shiv passive tho

nothing to put in place of the mansion hence why it's there. I don't know how many times I have to say it's a placeholder letting it be his mansion because it's meant to be hired out when people want to use it. letting a single faction own it would be silly range law is a good point, other gun laws however you need to start looking from an objective perspective instead of what benefits your own gameplay

you're an annoying shitposter but if you think for a second allowing someone to be elected to the most powerful IC position is a good idea you might need a lobotomy

hell yeah and another way to either have the npc store sell gun kits maybe like 1000 per kit have 5 uses and have a whole system to it like cleaning the rails, barrel, ect ect, or have the gun businesses sell it.

+1 Good idea

hell yeah

obviously some melee weapons are used a lot more commonly than others, and some have different ways on obtaining i.e shiv and lead pipes require things from rummaging around trashcans and going to different npcs in order to craft them, other than for rp reasons, going through all that effort seems a bit pointless for weapons that aren't particularly better than others that can be obtained through easier ways i.e going to hardware and just buying a baseball bat, so how about giving some melee weapons special attributes depending on what they actually are! for example: - blunt weapons being able to cause concussions i.e. lead pipes, baseball bats, spades - sharp weapons being able to cause bleeding faster than normal, i.e. kitchen knives and machetes - shivs being able to cause damage overtime due to something like a temporary infection, reason im saying this is because if you take a closer look at the shivs in game, that metal is 100% rusty and not clean depending on what the weapon is, the special effects would kick in faster or slower than other weapons of the same category, because obviously baseball bats are a common weapon used for first hiring new people as security guards, wouldn't be horribly nice being concussed 24/7 concussions could be a dazing screen overlay effect, hindering the player from being able to fight back properly, bleeding would just work the same as the current bleeding already in game and the infection would be similar to bleeding but either less or more damage. picture of the shiv for anyone who's never seen one in game before:

To add onto this, in your clip 0:03 Seconds; How did you and your friend take out hands at the exact same time without giving each other a mutual understanding you would hit the car? This looks a lot like you metagamed this to be in unison with your partner.

Hi Vethar, I was the one you killed in this situation. There is a way to escalate this situation appropriately. Your logic does not apply to how the rules work. What you are saying is, "He used words to disrespect us, so kill him." This is the prime example of RDMing. There was no direct threat to you, nor to your partner. Both of you went out of your way to block my vehicle; and subsequently hit my car for no reason. Similarly to how no damage was done to me, no harm was done after being run over. However, you went out of your way to take your firearm out and kill me, while not posing any threat to you. It doesn't change the fact that you RDM'ed. Rather if both of us took guns out while aiming at each other/having it off safety or pistol whipped one another, then you and I would be getting into a fight that wasn't breaking any rules. Instead, you just posted an RDM clip and an RDM bait. Similarly, you somehow knew who I was without having my recognition or my name in game; essentially, you bring OOC knowledge into the game and use it for your IC bias. Attached shows my perspective of what you said; which is to what your partner posted too. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k87sUMCUgLwiKxovg?invite=cr-MSxJQ28sNTMwMzE5NDQ If you watch my clip, you can notice how I did nothing to provoke you to shoot your firearm at me. However; through appropriate escalation, you could take your gun out and place it on safety; pistol whip or whatever. You were banned for RDM = Random Death Match, Killing Players without valid reason. There is no valid reason for you to take out your firearm against me, thus resulting a ban. For escalation rules, please view two links I am going to post coming from the official Diverge RP networks forums page. 1. Let's break this down. In the video, you block my vehicle. You hit it after I disrespect you. I tell you both to stop, and that is continued. I ram over the individual, not inflicting any damage. I step out the vehicle to confront you about the situation, and you wait, take out your firearm, and kill me. *Again, this is baiting. You are baiting to shoot me.* And because I have died, it was considered as RDM. If someone is loitering/following/harassing you you may give them warnings to leave you be, if they ignore several warnings and continue you may attack/kill them. (One warning will not suffice, multiple warnings in a very short time span will also not suffice, you have to give them time to react.) *You have not given any warning to leave.* Likewise if someone runs you (pedestrian) over / hits you with their car intentionally you may kill them. However, if it was an accident or incidental car clipping and was not intentional, be reasonable and don't kill them. You may not attack/start confrontations with people in order to kill them when they defend themselves. This is considered baiting. Additionally, I wasn't following you guys; rather, you all were following me. Ways to Identify someone IC'ly: -You have their F3 *You don't.* -They Identify themselves to you, verbally giving you their full name / unique nickname *We never met, you somehow knew Pearce but my name does not include Pearce. Nor have we ever encountered each other in Roleplay with my character.* -Someone who has their F3 Identifies them to you. *According to both your clip and your partners, the both of you didn't have my recognition.* In your friend's clip on 00:27, you can see me slowing down, and your friend runs in front of my vehicle to make me stop. (It appears he may have tried to get himself VDMed.) VSync may have been a small issue, but you can see I was trying to still drive, but couldn't because your friend came infront. My initial reaction would be to stop. At the end of the day, this to me looks like your argument is "I got disrespected, so I will take my firearm out and shoot the guy while I have the chance because I forced him to do something." And this, again, is the prime definition of RDM Baiting. 0:25 of your clip, you can see me walk out the vehicle with no firearm in my hand. Essentially, I wasn't an active threat to you, and you went out to still shoot me down.

Banning Staff member here, You screamed out "Is that Pearce" which even with him being a "Known" person, you wouldn't know his Character and you haven't had a formal introduction with this character as his Pearce Character was PK'd, you didn't have his name, and this is what caused him to pull over, and at that moment you guys started punching his vehicle, even returning to punch his vehicle after the guy in blue was pushed away, and he ran him over, and got out without being hostile and approached you, you then pulled a Gun on him, and shot him. I asked for a second opinion from a Admin, who also agreed with the RDM/ RDM Baiting, in which you also have Post Offenses for both.

Le Grande, or a property that would actually be useful to roleplay. I personally never use public housing for laundry but a lot of people do so townhouses are cool. A dining hall would go unused. World Corp was cool but we only ever ran illegal poker games there back in the day? What roleplay would it bring to the server? Thats my main concern. Shopping center, if it was just NPC's or empty building it would just be another mug central. kinda dumb. Range laws are dumb. Not sure why we need realistic range laws in a video game.

Your Character or Steam Name: Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:34428541 Your Discord ID#: Vethar Reason for ban: RDM Baiting / RDM Length of ban: 1 Day Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Well, he openly disrespected us on the streets in his car. Since he was openly disrespecting us, we decided to punch his car. Why should you be unbanned?: Well, considering he was being a disrespectful guy and went out of his way to do it, I believe we had all the rights to punch his car. He took 0 damage from us punching his car from what I saw. He could have driven off at any time but didn't. He got out of his car instead of just driving away. Again he was talking shit to us and went out of his way to do so.

schedule 1 trash for cash machines and trash bags

+1 cool idea

+1 This nigga doesn't even play the server and is holding a slot for someone who does and would actually make good laws (Would maybe use the mansion unlike that nigga)
