What does this even mean bro 2 days is not a lot of playtime Him saying regardless of that was obviously noted in the rest of my response Shut up bruh

I don't see any point in allowing this to continue to be a possibility when it could be almost completely stopped by preventing certain people from having access. Instead of staff having to have investigations into it, IF IT IS CAUGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE, why not just stop 9/10 cases of it happening. Because any smart criminal won't shit where he eats, unless everyone is in on it. It makes no sense to go behind your bosses back when he is how you make a living whilst knowing that you could lose your job, if not your life, for making a slightly higher amount of money. And realistically even the biggest factions with upwards of 4 capos cannot keep an eye on all of their men 24/7 (especially with timezones), I know first hand that this is not a realistic expectation. The real mob's issues with drugs being sold by their guys was primarily because these organisations did not want drugs being sold AT ALL. This is a massive difference to diverge where every faction is pushing drugs and the main alliances, unlike real life, are fine with it. In real life the organisations as a whole were not buying/selling drugs, which meant that those who wanted to move drugs behind their family's backs had to do it via a 3rd party. The only way it restricts people from "living on the edge" is by preventing them having access to a racket the faction basically owns. These people can still avoid family rules in countless ways by mugging for guns, finding them in shipments that aren't theirs, buying them illegally or finding someone that IS trusted and has access to buy it for them. All this done is prevents them from "living on the edge" without putting in some level of effort to get whatever it is they're after. I believe PKs for this are remarkably uncommon, at least in my faction. People likely get away with it a decent amount, but more commonly they stop after being told not to.

Imagine timezones being a thing, and while your eyes are closed imagining that imagine how easy it is to just buy shipments without telling anyone and doing deals of your own and supplying whoever you want without anyone ever finding out. Nip it in the bud, the feature makes sense IC wise.

-1 You said it yourself. People abusing the racket to obtain guns soley for minging or mugging is a staff issue, I don't think further restrictions is needed. Whilst I can understand FL's wanting to keep a closer eye on what people can and cannot do with their racket, it just doesn't make sense to me... why would you want to stop players from doing sleazy deals against the wishes of their high command? your capos should be keeping an eye on their men. Real mobs had problems with their guys getting involved in drugs, but they still did it... ? I get your point about new mob guys not realistically having access to a full arms network... but you have to leave room for error. This is a game at the end of the day, and by adding something like this, you're seriously restricting people's ability to 'live on the edge' in fear of getting caught by their family for wrong doing. You'll just restrict how people want to RP by essentially saying 'you want to join our family, then you HAVE to RP like this' Also why would you want to get rid of being able to kill people for disobeying family rules?

Speaking of which, how often do racket abusers get caught? Cos I've personally rarely seen anyone get banned for that in a long while, though im sure it occurs more than it seems

quite logical and makes RP 'more immersive'- you got a better control and grasp of things to do what you need to do particularly by having something physical to manage and utilise.

+1 Its kinda dumb this isnt a thing yet

Hi. I am the member of staff who banned you, I was shown a clip by one of the patrol LTs which showed you droping some firearms and other things in City Hall. They then proceeded to arrest you and search you. Then as they started walking you to the PD you left the server which would stop them from obviously carrying out the arrest RP etc. You were a bit shitty in the discord about your ban as well, but seeing as you have given an apology I am okay with your ban being reduced or lifted.

Mike would you say this is time appropriate

You're immersed in the game, you truly feel like you're on the streets of NewYork in the 1980s, then BAM suddenly a bumbling fool drives by playing a cassette often from the late 90s or early 2000s. It zaps you back to your pathetic miserable reality and takes hours upon hours to regain that same level of immersion you had before that awful time travelling cassette entered the scene. These must be removed for the sake of us all.

-1 not enough playtime

In-Game Name(s): Detective Randall Gosset, Joey Merlino, Terry Harper, Cedric Carbone, Jimmy Germcheck Steam Name:21schmekles Steam Profile Link:https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198797319096/ Steam ID:76561198797319096 Discord Username:21schmekles Age:20 When did you first join the server:2022 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game):2mo 3w 2d 11h 24m Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: A few hours a day Have you read the rules?:Yes Do you have a working microphone?:Yes Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA):YEs Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?:No But Can Learn Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?:Yes ------------------------------------------------- Long Answer Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 3 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: In these past recent months I've put many hours into grinding this server and interacting with the community, and making friends. recently I've been wanting to get more involved based on my experiences and I thought I would give it a shot to see if my time on the server can go to use, I frequently am on the server sitting there so I figured I could put that time to use. * Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I have a considerable amount of playtime and think with that I can contribute some of my experience into server moderation and maybe help ease the workload of current staff members and also plan on making every staff situation I'm involved completely fair and respectful. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long):Not on gmod but have been on another RP oriented game unturned with a similar rule structure. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I've been banned a lot in the past over my years of playing, but have not been in recent times after taking the server more seriously Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I wouldn't say that I'm known by the entire server but within the alliance I'm in and the many people I'm around yes, and as far as I know people consider me as a reasonable person who tries to be friendly all around, I'm not the type of guy to blow up on people from remarks or anything of the sort, I try to enjoy my time within the community and make friends with others so I think consecutively people consider me as good player and person within the southside. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: Back in February there was an event where the State Senate Candidate Cliff Connally came out to speak in the parking lot of the pd with a large crowd of police protecting him, at this time I didn't know what it was about but I saw everyone running to go and see him speak and hear what he had to say on the current situations surrounding government employees, I waited for him to come out and was in the crowd of people. As he came out and started speaking everyone was shouting at him completely going against him when all a sudden I heard " I hope you die, I hope you die of a heart attack" and boom he got shot in the head. I thought that was so funny because it instantly erupted into chaos and everyone was screaming where the shooter was, To me that was one of the key moments that got me hooked to diverges rp aspect and the community surrounding it. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Boost ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Detail step by step exactly the actions you would take. Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: Make a ticket like a normal player and if no other staff members are online I would just take a clip for a further date to report the player. You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank than you abusing fairly often, but never doing anything too noticeable. What do you do?: I would attempt to gain a clip of them abusing, or just any wrongdoing in general that would result in a staff report. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?:I would continue with the sit as any other and request clips and also viewing the logs to confirm the truth to my full capability. As staff I'm expected to go into situations completely unbiased in which I will.

this @calink guy is smoking fucking crack
