Good evening Coco, not one to usually come back and reply to things but I thought I would find you here when writing about how I'm known in the community. First things first I dont get this refrence to Ms Magical so its an unfortunate miss for me on how to improve myself in your eyes. Secondly, being very up front, if this is something that I start doing I would gladly have the records cleaned for our, and other relationships. To explain my relationship with JMZ, I was often bullied and had a bad time on the server with him, when his ban appeal was coming up, alot of people were putting in their two cent, and just like everyone else I also thought I deservedly could join in on this and give a perspective that might not be known as I wasnt very vocal about how he would make me feel while playing. Never had I gone after jmz or anyone in that circle, they would always interact and begin verbally abusing me first. Being very honest since being removed I havent thought of jmz until brought up, like most people if JMZ was to return to diverge I would also offer this slate to be wiped clean, as a staff member in situations biases must be removed, and this would be one of them. To clarify too, I've never held a grudge or negativity to this circle of people, as previously stated I have moved past this with incredible ease as it no longer means anything to me. Since conflict has ended I've never shit talked nor harassed anyone or any business on the server as firstly I have no reason too and secondly this would be breaking the rules of escalation. If you've seen me in the city recently I am either keeping to myself at the lobster, been talking to everyone in streets or on my oil character I've actually had good working relationships with other parts of the city that my main character wouldn't normally experience. I'm glad that you have kept some skepticism due to prior posts so I can clarify my current view points on situations, again any issues with me personally please reach out. Thank you again Coco, all the best.

Yes. +1 Personal vouch, you can add me to your list of staff recommendations.

+1 The goat

This is like putting Ms Magical as staff.... Bros gonna be petty asf and hold a grudge instantly. (cant wait for all the UA to mass -1/Dumb emote)

I really don’t think they gave me a reasonable amount of time for me to react . They quickly shouted stop moving a couple times and pulled out there guns . I also don’t think they gave the clearest commands that they were mugging me and they would kill me if I kept moving.

Hello Pk'ing admin here, you were pk'd for breaking fear rp as they gave multiple warnings to stop moving under gun point and you didn't do so here is the clip i was provided for said pk here in FearRP rules it states Regarding the timing of the mugging, I believe that they gave you multiple clear commands and provided a reasonable amount of time for you to react during the mugging.

+1 if i must smh

+1 My don told me to +1 (please don't pk me)

+1 great app

+1 cool guy

+1 i love oil

issue is you gotta keep hitting the stopsound bind i would rather just toggle it on or off

i have no idea what this has to do with anything cause stopsound still works it would just be nice to do one command and not have to keep hitting it

Uh i just want it to where I could just hit stopsound once and not have to repeatedly hit it idk why you took this personally somehow?

how are you guys -1ing a client side audio suggestion i just want it to where i don’t have to hit my stop sound button every minute

+1 Yes, very nonchalant

Going into audio settings for gmod and lowering the sound effect volume helps alot. The default is far too loud. It would be nice if more sounds went through the "music" volume pretty much everything goes through "sound effect" volume.

+1 most kind person on diverge

Genuinely no one with better temperament could be found on the server, massive +1

MY TWIN SHANIQUA YIPEEEE +1+1+1+1

In-Game Name(s): Shaniqua Buffalino/Terry Lawrence Steam Name: shauningt Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/shauningt/ Steam ID: Steam_0:0:59300760 Discord Username: Shauningt Age: 24 When did you first join the server: January 2025 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2 Months 5 Days 19 Hours 46 Minutes. Time Zone: UK GMT/BST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 2/3 hours during the week, 4/5 hours on Saturday/Sunday 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 Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes ------------------------------------------------- Long Answer What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * Being very honest my main motivation is to one day become a game master running small and medium sized scriptless events for players but to get there I understand what is expected, even when a gamemaster that being staff comes first. Outside of the long term goal, I would like to become a staff member to help with the community, often being on during low populated hours for the early morning UK folks to about midday where there isn't many staff members on. Along with this I would obviously also help in peak hours too. Having a staff member on during low populated hours though is useful for those who might experience issues that stop them coming back to the server. Overall my motivation stems from wanting to protect peoples experience, and improve their quality of experience while on the server. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * Although I'm not experienced with SAM and/or Nutscript commands, I am willing to learn, and able to admit when I need help with something, rather than going rogue and trying to do my own thing. I also understand that there is a learning curve within these roles and won't get frustrated when decisions might be overturned by senior staff members too. I understand server rules and the importance of and how to expand player experiences alive. I would also listen when needed, but also push back and question why something may be happening if it seems wrong at the right time and place. When doing work I am resilient and also like to work to a high standard as I know my work represents me as a person as well, I'd rather be out there known to be doing high quality pieces of work even if that means that I'm taking my time when doing it and getting fully up to speed with what is needed to be a staff member. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I have previously been an event manager of the Stasis Starwars RP for a year from 2017-2018. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No, I do have a couple of notes, for incidents being genuine mistakes that I have since learned from. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I'd say that I am known in my circles, I would like to think that people see me as approachable and open to converse. When out and about in the city I try to show to respect to everyone, not starting beefs for no reason and even when presented with conflict I'd prefer to settle it with a talk rather than drawing guns. I'm gonna be honest too, theres a circle of people who I know don't like me, like to call me trans, etc., frankly I don't care about these comments and wouldn't let this get in the way of an unbiased view when staffing. When playing, my perspective is there being a split between my char and my actual self, so anything Shaniqua/Terry experiences is then separate from staff shauningt. As a staff member I'd rather have a reputation of being fair and unbiased, but also being a genuine help to anyone who opens a ticket no matter what faction they're in. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Since starting in January I've had plenty of laughs but also plenty of serious RP moments, one of which a small event that I coordinated within people of my faction. We organised for a high profiles member car to be taken (a character I was playing stole the car). We gathered all the active associates to then chase the car down without using guns and keeping the cops attention away from what was going on, the event ended with a hostage situation that was deescalated. It was a small event that didn't impact the wider server but it was fun for everyone who has involved, it was great getting associates involved with something that wasn't the usual grinding and put emphasis to RPing. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: n/a ------------------------------------------------- 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?: 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?: The first step to this situation would be: First I'd start by reaching out for an informal chat either in game or on discord, just to check in that they know what theyre doing is wrong sorta thing, if what theyre doing is nothing too noticeable it might be that they thought what they were doing was okay, or they didn't realise it was having an impact on RP. If it were to continue I'd send them a message so the issue can be dated and can be in writing where we both acknowledge the situation in a paper trail, and if they continue there is evidence of them being told what they're doing is wrong. Continuing after this I'd prevent the evidence (clips, messages, etc.) to the chain of command to ensure that the right person is able to deal with the situation correctly, rather than publicly airing out any disputes this would be done privately between the accused, myself and the chain of command. 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?: There are two routes in this situation to take: Way 1 (less severe incidents): Deal with the ticket like any other ticket for this sort of infraction, if its minging, this would be dealt with on basis of the severity of minging, if they're just being annoying, doing the usual sit giving them a warning/note. For things such as RDM, again following the usual protocol of investigating the incident with clips, logs, etc and applying the correct punishment to the infraction they've committed. Way 2 (more severe incidents): If I know that I am going to have an extreme bias or trouble assessing the situation from the perspective of all parties I would either call in another moderator/senior staff for support and explain how my bias may be influencing a final outcome and ask for their opinion before committing to it. This means there is a less chance of an appeal if a third party has also been involved within the situation, although as a staff member myself I should be this third party myself, as previously stating, taking my character out of decisions and following the rules of the server equally for everyone as a staff member. ---------------------------------------------------------
