Name of Character: James Calruso SteamID: STEAM_0:0:53399904 Your Discord ID#: Crossbowhunter00 Date of PK: 04/21/2025 Reason for PK: Mugged a clown for a prospect cut back they stole. Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: The timer seemed to long, A clown was in possession of a Faction Whitelist only item. I mugged the person wearing it with a bandana and had him blind folded after getting the Cut back. we waited out the timer for about 45min to an hour after doing so in a tinted vehicle we drove and the clown was driving behind us the car we were riding in despawned that the Driver had keys to during which an admin was following around and talking in game so idk what happened with the car situation and the clown was in the vehicle and it was shot by others not even the clown and I got blown up. The main reason is the timer I feel was to long past. please look into the timer and check it out I don't understand how the car disappeared I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time. I do also understand people get an extended timer Just seemed to long. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k8uXRZwoXmyPqITeU?invite=cr-MSxSQ1UsMjUyMzA3MDU4

Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK. Ill first state that this kill was not coming from any escalation from any current conflictions going on in the server. This kill was not approved prior by UA as Money Blue alluded to above, but with that being said I will break down kill. Evidence was shown that you had been harassing the Kosher Deli multiple times and clearly had pissed some people off. So yes, you were a target, but there is a difference between targeting a faction for a mug, versus targeting an individual for a mugging because of his actions. While escalation rules may dictate the appropriate time a faction can target an enemy faction with mugging, the two factions are currently not at an escalation level, thus making your claim null and void. The muggers were on main characters, and YOU decided to chase them to a secluded location which on the mugging map is a “mug where you stand” location. Upon entering the back room you were confronted with guns to your face with the verbal command to put your hands up which would place you under FearRp. As stated in the rules : “Note that you must have a valid reason to place someone under FearRP (See FearRP rules), initiating a mugging is a valid reason to hold someone under fear RP”. If you read item 9 under mugging rules, it states: There are several ways you may initiate a mugging, the following actions can be considered initiation of a mugging: - Attempting to Zip tie someone [Does not apply if you BAIT people into tying you by saying they may or by stealing their items, therefore forcing them to tie you to retrieve them.] - Holding someone at gunpoint with the intention of mugging them - Holding someone at gunpoint to pull them to a secluded location for a mugging Thus making this a valid initiation of a mugging, as they were attempting for you to go back into the back room. You turn to leave and another verbal command of get back here was given, which was clearly heard in the clip that was provided. If we continue down to item 10 of the mugging rules it sates: When can you kill someone in a mugging for it to be considered a PK? - You must FIRST, properly initiate a mugging (See Mugging Rule 9.) - They attempt to flee while you have them at gunpoint/fear rp. (Does not apply if you disengage fear rp. See fear rp rules) - They attempt to fight back while you have them at gunpoint/fear rp. (Does not apply if you disengage fear rp. See fear rp rules) - They attempt to move or avoid being restrained while you tie them under fear rp. - If they disobey direct orders multiple times (while under fear rp) which leads to complications in the mugging. ex: Refuses to stay still and moves one or two steps at a time to try and escape, refuses to stop talking leading to someone overhearing the mugging. - They do not obey a reasonable demand in a reasonable amount of time. ex: Ordering them to follow you (while under fear RP) and refusing to move after several requests and a reasonable amount of time to obey, effectively stalling the mugging to be discovered. If we follow down the chain of events, the mugging was initiated correctly, you were brought under FearRp correctly, you decided to attempt to flee while you were under gunpoint/fearrp, thus making you PK active. As I stated previously, this was not done in any regards to any faction escalation, but you decided to test your luck and harass a business and they choose to mug you as a response, and during this mug your choices led to this being an acceptable PK. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k1SV3CsOTlU5P_bDC?invite=cr-MSxpTHMsMzMwODc5MDY https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k32TSLs19TSuLOdCV?invite=cr-MSwwblcsMzMwODc5MDY

Name of Faction: Novgorod Bratva Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 17 and more to come Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Russian Name of Character running the faction: Bogdan Volkov Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): Skyzerbefr Your SteamID: STEAM_0:0:634961667 Your Server playtime: 2mo 1w 18h 30m Do you acknowledge and agree to all faction rules as detailed on the server rules page? (Yes/No): Yes Do you acknowledge that your faction discord will be owned by us? (Yes/No): Yes Provide an example of the unique Roleplay your faction will bring to the server/what type of roleplay we can expect from your faction (Images/Videos Preferred): Business and Future Goals for the LLC Although we started off as a humble food truck operation, handing out food and drinks to the city workers or anyone for that matter (and will still continue using a food truck to bring in roleplay), we will develop a LLC for security which will be a private security organization that brings a one of a kind mechanic to diverge. We will specialize in helping businesses transport their product in large amounts, assist in protecting high-profile men, and even help with the legal issues of people who get caught up in the law where the lines between legal and illegal activities often blur. Novgorod Attire New interns that have not fully been initiated into the Bratva will wear often wear more casual street clothing such as tracksuits, hoodies, or any sort of casual wear. This reflects their position within the Bratva as outsiders who are still fairly new and are proving their loyalty and worthiness for the next step in the hierarchy. Although they are not on the same level authority as the Made Men of the family, associates are very important to building up our family as a whole by managing lower level tasks, managing day to day business, and executing orders from higher-ups, to reach that point where they can be made. Mid-High Command of the Bratva are the core and heart of the organization and fully earned the trust and respect of the boss. As a symbol of their authority and status within our faction, our higher command will wear more formal attire such as: suits, rings (custom rings), and dress clothes. The importance of the formal attire is these members will be responsible for making smart decisions when it comes to high-stake meetings, legitimate business dealings, and upholding the faction's interest within the criminal underworld. Family Outings and Deals The Novgorod Bratva values our own family and strength above all else, we will make it a priority to maintain our cultural roots through regular family outings/gatherings. Whether it is a traditional Russian feast, a day out enjoying the city of New York, or a more private gathering at one of our properties, these outings help strengthen our bond with one another and reinforce the loyalty that keeps us united as one. Our main language is Russian if you couldn't tell, we will ensure our ties to our heritage remain strong and that the language of our ancestors is preserved. In these meetings we will host often, it can range from enjoying delicious meals to sharing stories of the old country and singing classic Russian songs, to even making important decisions where alliances are formed and business is conducted. A big source of income within the Bratva would be through crew deals with other allies - a large scale trade agreement in product for a profit on both ends. These trades would be handled with the utmost discretion (following back to the security organization), and we do understand the high risk involved in moving large amounts of illicit goods. Our reputation for honor within deals and our ability to control big amounts of product makes us an invaluable partner for anybody to make a profit. Every single dollar made is an opportunity to strengthen alliances and keep our plates full while being able to maintain the respect and loyalty with those who do business with us. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): As previously mentioned above, our members will participate in large-scale meetings with other factions, this could involve intense roleplay moments where members have to use their awareness skills, or even deal with betrayals and sabotage. Why does this work you may ask? It involves a numerous amount of people, gets everyone involved in decision making and keeps tension high which creates a nice buzz within the community. However, not all people are into that whole criminal underworld business. This is why we will host feasts or celebrations for the Bratva which will be Russian themed, these events will be used for lighthearted roleplay and strengthen the family-oriented nature of our faction which offers a break from the usual high tension activities and lets people develop their characters overall. Novgorod Bratva will host initiation ceremonies for new recruits or potential Made Men, marking their full faith to the Bratva with a symbolic ceremony. This involves making them take an oath, participate in a test of loyalty, or a task that makes them prove their faith to the Bratva (Bones, Fingers, Skulls, Etc...)

In-Game Name(s): Yokai Zen'no-sha, Detective Precious Abubakar Steam Name: Pimpin Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198955120866/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:497427569 Discord Username: ibepimpin Age: 25 When did you first join the server: November 2023 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2mo 1w 1d 17h Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: I am in server everyday for 8-10+ hours, so a lot. Have you read the rules?: Yes, Multiple Times. 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?: SAM yes, Nutscript very little. 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 5 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: *I have been a member in Diverge for awhile now, I've wanted to make this application multiple times, but just never thought it was the right time. As I spend more and more time in server, I have had incidents where staff is extremely tied up, or are AFK. I would personally like to help alleviate and help take some stress away from staff by applying myself, and helping in everyway possible. I am a great Team player, and work well with others, and am not a hard person to get along with myself. I feel as if I would be a great addition due to me being a Mature individual, none Biased person. I am also almost always available and on during High, and Low peak times, so I would be able to assist in almost any scenario. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: *I am Mature, I am a great Team player, I am always available, I have a lot of time in Server, and have a Great understanding of Rules, even in weird odd situations. I believe I would help keep Diverge a good Roleplay environment. I am a very collected person, and will always remain as such. I am very professional when representing a Community as a Staff member. I am a very dedicated member of Diverge. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): If other Games/Communities count Yes, I was a Head Admin for Rearmed DayZ for over a Year, I also was a Community Manager for Vendetta DayZ helped Create the Server from Scratch, I was a Senior Admin for FiveM CaliRP for over 2 Years, Head Admin for FiveM TexasRP. So ultimately I have a experience as a "Staff Member". (I am Retired from all of these Communities.) Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, 1 Time for Meta Game, but the ban was overturned, and I was unbanned. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: *I would say I'm fairly known, and have a good reputation. Anyone that really knows me would speak highly of me. I have always been a active member in the Community even after going to Prison IRL and coming back. I was welcomed back by everyone. I do have people I "beef' with in game, but outside I still believe that'd say I'm a good person. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: Attached Video... Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Z67H, Pizzle, RealWaladang, Yumeko ------------------------------------------------- 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?: If a ticket comes in, and a On-Duty staff member fails to take it, I would then take the ticket, as long as I am no way shape or form involved with the Situation. I will even go as far as to get a second opinion from another staff member to ensure no biased actions where taken. 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?: Gather Evidence while actively making aware to Higher staff of the Situation and their conduct on as staff. If nothing is done, I will resort to a UA ticket to ensure no powers are being abused. 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?: In any situation, Friend, Enemy, Faction Member, or Minge, you should ALWAYS reviews clips, and never have a biased judgement towards ANY member of the Diverge Community. If I feel as if my judgement would be considered Biased I will request a 2nd judgement from a none involved Staff member. Providing them with all clips, and information relevant to the Report. --------------------------------------------------------- GkrktmvxKrupclk8-P8TdA (2).mp4

I genuinely think it’s fair to implement a character lock on PD alts when your main character is actively involved in a conflict. At the very least, locking PD alts during active conflict should be a no-brainer. We’ve all seen it: as soon as something heats up against one side, suddenly 10 PD alts fly in and swarm the situation. Let’s not pretend this isn’t happening please. For full transparency—I do have a PD alt, but I’ve barely touched it aside from doing supervisory duties for activity reasons. I get that PD is active right now and there’s a lot going on, but there are absolutely situations where the involvement starts to feel biased. Literally cops before shootout: Cops after shootout:

Events are an important feature in any Garry's Mod Roleplaying server. Whether that's DarkRP, MilitaryRP or MafiaRP, they play a key role in maintaining player engagement and overall boost the entertainment of the server. Currently, gamemasters do exist in Diverge, but the position is extremely limited to staff members. While I do understand the safety precaution behind this, possibly altering a few permissions, requirements, and releasing it to the general public could fix the lack of events in the server. I hold previous experience being a player, a staff member, and a gamemaster in Diverge, aswell as other servers. When it came to having a preference between them, I found that I liked being a gamemaster more. Doing things like planning events, coordinating attacks, and creating chaos while not worrying about ticket count felt rewarding and relaxed. There are also a lot of players that share the same values of creating better roleplay, but don't want the same responsibilities of the average staff member. However, these kind of permissions can't be given to any average person. Gamemasters should understand server dynamics, the roleplay style UA looks for, and how the server works. I'd recommend listing specific requirements such as outstanding playtime, good/realistic ideas for events, clips of good roleplay scenarios they were in, etc. It can be just like the moderator application, but more in-depth (The gamemaster application staff uses would be a good base). I always found gamemaster requirements to be a lot more difficult than moderator, as a gamemaster could MAKE OR BREAK the experience of a player. Example(s) of this include: > Making playtime requirements upwards of three weeks to a month minimum. To add on from what I've said before, I felt as I got the best grasp of server dynamics when I was close to a month playtime. I also believe making it a longer playtime requirement could restrict applications to more trustworthy/committed players applying. > More long answer questions. People applying for gamemaster should be more than capable of typing a few paragraphs with clear ideas and good grammar. > Critical thinking/problem solving. Listing situations on where events could go wrong, and seeing an applicant's thought process on how to roleplay a "fix" could prove itself useful. There can also be alternatives for overall permissions given to gamemasters. They obviously shouldn't be able to punish anyone by any means outside of basic kicks (in case of minges that involve themselves too much in an event). The admin spawn menu can also be very limited, unless a certain ranked staff member+ does a togglable ingame command to allow more free use of it, which can prevent any abuse/exploiting.

That mansion was promised to him 3000 years ago.

Your appeal boils down to the following points: 1. I stopped when asked. 2. It's not harassment because I stopped when asked. 3. It's not harassment because freedom of speech lets me accuse him of being a pedophile for no reason There's no acknowledgment of wrong doing, no acknowledgment that accusing people of shit like that is not chill, etc etc. Point 1 and 2 are contested by multiple staff members who say you continued despite being told to stop, you argued with JMZ and continued after the fact despite claiming you instantly listened as well as arguing in the second sit (refusing to comprehend your actions, a consistent theme) You don't seem to grasp the severity of making baseless accusation, yes as a one time joke these comments are whatever, but to continuously, after being told to stop, try to besmirch someone simply because you don't like them or you think they might not like you is irresponsible as hell. Anyone can claim anything but without actual proof you're just hurling baseless libel, which obviously isn't "Freedom of Speech". This isn't the first time you've gone out of your way to harass people you have issues with, I have seen the way you behave in personal messages with people, your overall attitude isn't very much different than a spoiled rich child. I've seen you crash out about when being made to leave factions or for getting pk'ed. You have on multiple occasions professed your 'hatred' of persons in the community and claimed you could easily go find them, maybe to harm them, etc. Harassing or other factions on alternate characters, you have already been reported for this poor behaviour and I wanted to see if this was a one time crash out or indicative of a repeated pattern of schizophrenia. Ultimately this proves it, I liken your behaviour to that of a child. It's a video game server, you get too invested, too emotional, you ascribe issues in roleplay to that individual's character as a person and bring the beef OOC constantly. It's embarrassing. I think the permanent ban here is appropriate, if this harassment of Riggs was the only issue with you I honestly would not mind reducing the ban, but based on your inability to take responsibility, the other past threats and harassments, concentrated efforts to damage factions on alt chars and the very suspicious arrests you were making on your PD char I think Boomroasted's decision to extend this to a permanent ban is more than justified. I don't know how old you are or why you behave the way you do but I think you need a serious period of self reflection, not only to realize what you did was wrong and why but to actually fundamentally change who you are as a person, because as it stands it does not seem enjoyable to be around you. Consider this an intervention. You may re-appeal this ban in a few months. Incase you don't understand why I am denying this appeal ATM, read here: I think your have a problem with your anger and emotions, I think you lash out verbally when things do not go your way, in RP, related to staff, in DMs, regarding money. I think it's immature and a negative trait and to allow you to continue to behave this way is damaging for the people you interact with and your own well being.

There has already been precedent set that simply messaging someone to get them online to set up a meeting (in which a PK could happen) is not against the rules, which is what happened in this case. Now, onto the metagame accusations - You're only reporting this because you're upset you were PKd, however, this does not mean it won't go unpunished. The problem with your "proof", is that it's circumstantial. It's not enough to directly prove anything. Had you had more proof, serious actions could have been taken. All this does is loop back to my further point of you being okay with the metagame, as it benefitted you. You should have recorded and reported it the second you caught wind of it, but instead you decided to metagame alongside them. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.

Name of Character: John Soprano SteamID: 76561198316133872 Your Discord ID#: 453304483011887126 Date of PK: 4/22 Reason for PK: Died during raid? Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I never raided? I had keys, I walked in, I never went upstairs nor to any "special areas" we placed trash, we tried to leave they just stood there blocking us from leaving, then they killed aimed guns at us, killed my friend, so I shot them killed one then died? The Imperial safehouse was also never stated to me, it was only the "Jewish Bank". Also from my knowledge a faction leader needs to approve a raid on a property which did not happen so at most it would be RDM? And if I did raid to kill a "HIHG COMMAND MEMBER" which is the main point of a safehouse would Crocie also not be killed since he died? TLDR: I literally just unlocked the door, I mean I don't understand how that's considered a raid lol. But anyway my main thing is they shot first, I had keys, didn't let us leave, didn't give us warnings to leaves, imperial being a safehouse was never communicated to me, "Raid" was never sanctioned, etc. Sidenote; after rewatching the clip it looks although there could POSSIBLY be somesort of metagame going on via their side but idk just seemed odd to me If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: uh long clip so i gotta stream

Name of Character: Angelo Gallo SteamID: 76561198804364184 Your Discord ID#: giggatron Date of PK: 4/22 Reason for PK: raid? Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: Well first of all it wasn't a raid i never initiated a raid or posed a threat of any kind I was following hades and he said we had keys and i followed him inside too see if they worked in the clip i didn't even try them till they came inside i had no intention of raiding and got lead into a bad situation and only one guy saw us enter and didn't say a word we never left the lobby and went nowhere else and never pulled out a single weapon again posing no threat at all (not initiating a raid) or forcing our way in A robbery is defined as forcing your way onto a property with the intention of burglary or theft (or just to gain access, can be considered a raid), lockpicking a door open or barging in with weapons while there are occupants inside or when the occupants step out. Squatting on a property is not considered a robbery the definition of force is "coercion or compulsion, especially with the use or threat of violence." we used none of this we literally had free reign to access this property just seems like the rules are getting twisted. Then placed down trash and no one saw us do that btw so the first guy assumed we did that with no proof then immediately a full squad Showes up somehow a second later fully armed without that same guy saying a word or using in char radio crazy if you ask me we then tried to walk out as they ran in the door and would not let us leave due to body block after no warning from them or any warning to pick up the trash i punched one of the guys and they killed me and my friend shot back so basically we never went in with brute force of any kind no intent to raid no weapons drawn till they shot me. If possible, please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k8QWOplLYNtb7mwtX?invite=cr-MSxBQ2csOTA3MjI4OA

Can all this new shit be added to the conflict rules? I think it’s unfair that lower ranks get punished because their faction leaders haven’t told them specifically. seems to be a lot of the issues with the constant switch of rules. for example the graffiti. People were doing KOS then were told with a gun out. Everyone presumed safety. now it’s you have to aim a gun at them.

I'll reiterate the points made when i spoke to Happy. - Safehouses were established as part of the conflict escalation as agree'ed on by both alliances. It aims to provide protected buildings for each side to hide high command members who may be subject to hits during the conflict. Both sides were made clear that if a raid or shootout occurs on a safehouse it can and will be a pk for the attackers whereas non safehouses can be raided without the regular consequence of a pk. What the two safehouses were should and would have been communicated to you by your faction leader. Several points were brought up. - They had keys - They had a room there (hence the keys) - They didn't start the shooutout! When the conflict started the owners of the imperial requested all Gambino keys were removed from their doors and for some reason they weren't taken off the front doors, either due to an error or a saving issue. With that being said, knowing you had no reason or business to have keys to that building instead of reporting the issue to get it resolved you abused the fact you had them to gain access to a building you shouldn't have had. Causing issue and getting killed, then using the key excuse as a way to get out of it instead? A point was made that having the keys were valid because the faction had a room there, but when i asked what the code for the doors were no one was able to produce the correct code for the month of April, proving that argument to be null; or argued in bad faith. Now, whether you had keys or not, the main issue is the undeniable fact that you went to an opposing safehouse, with the direct intention of starting a problem (dropping trash) and when confronted attempted to leave and then escalated via punching them. From any other perspective how else is that meant to be perceived other than an attack on a safehouse? They don't know your intention, they don't know if the raid is sanctioned or not, you could have been scouting out looking for one of their HC members to PK for all they know. You can't go and start a gun fight at an opposing safehouse then say "ope well it was actually just RDM" or "yea well but i have keys so its ok" In your own clip you clearly coordinate the dumping of the trash, and also use /y to yell asking"u got keys??" + had jew curls on, pretending to be an employee there, pretty evident you two went to drop trash, draw attention to it, then when they pressed Gallo you were going to shoot and wipe them. The only logical explanation is you were somehow unaware it was a safehouse (Which means you're blaming your faction leader) or simply believed because you had keys / it wasn't a 'sanctioned raid' you could avoid the pk. As for the metagame claim the clip provided by the opposing individual clearly shows them deafened in discord and directly witnessing you enter and drop the trash, so no proof of metagame to be had. If the roles were reversed and the opposing alliance had done the same sort of dumping -> shootout on your safehouses then the result would be the same, that person would be pk'ed. It's pretty evident when the situation is fully explained it becomes obvious as to why this happened, rather than throwing around hearsay accusations.

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 Im gonna be so real, logic does not deserve to be staff at all. I have played with him personally and its pretty much what a lot of others say, he's immature, argues, and I'd say pretty biased. I personally was with the Jews and so was he, while in this faction he was always arguing with others and making problems for no reason. For example we would be casually sitting in a vc and I'd be talking with someone and he would randomly butt in to make a argument and talk shit on a bunch of people. Furthermore I would constantly tell him about his behavior and he would never change (this is during a 6 month period of consistency about telling him about his behavior). He has not changed and certainly wont change while being staff. He will just be biased and get upset when no one is listening to him. Just a bad player overall for staff and will probably be abusive with his power. Sorry bud

"Commission mains -1ing my appeal" I wouldnt +1 it regardless of what faction you play, you are a fucking retard. Also, didn't you DM mental begging to be unblacklisted from the Commission?

Your Character or Steam Name: Hilbert Picklebottom (Suburb Aphiliated on Diverge Bans) Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:69780698 Your Discord ID#: 666780178290311175 Reason for ban: Metagame | Extensive PO's Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? I am choosing the apologetic approach because I failed the community, Canadian, and Pendred. When my second permanent ban appeal was accepted I was allowed back in on diverge with the pretense that I was changed and I would not receive further punishment. I did well in the beginning but after that period I immediately got back into the stuff that consistently got me in trouble whether it was IC or OOC. I got bored and I sought out shootouts, robberies, and PK's. In general I just showed a lack of fear of consequence to my actions and it showed with the consistent notes and bans. I admit that the last ban I received which is the one I am currently under was metagame as I intentionally avoided an RP scenario for one of my other char's benefits. In agreeance to James I began to repeatedly show that I treated this server with unseriousness and this last Metagame was the straw that broke the camels back and I am not going to refute it. Addressing my constant rule breaks is half the picture, what really matters is that I returned to my old ways that I said I moved past and I will list them out. Here is a photo of my total notes and bans: Muggings and Instigations: I always wanted to pursue muggings, raids, and shootouts because it provided a source of entertainment and fun that I couldn't get from regular griding. After I was unbanned I stayed far away from instigating any shootouts at all and I halted mugging all together. For that nearly 2 month period I was entirely clean. I then learned more about the loophole of "being damaged by an officer negates any fear rp and instead makes it a death match" so I began regularly doing it on my taka char which was my main. I remember that I was told by my captain at the time, thinner, that I would have been made if I did not kill cops as much. I was already being shown signs that my actions were interfering with roleplay but instead I continued out of selfishness to pursue my own fun. Many people including staff have insulted me by stating I don't have the ability to sit still and the truth is I don't. I need a constant entertainment and one of the biggest things I enjoyed was starting a shootout over little things such as this https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/iV5ib8bh0SUaCJKsg?invite=cr-MSxPMTgsNzExMDk4Mjg . . Even Darkfire who was very supportive of this clip said that this was a pure nigga moment. Everyone there including myself escalated it unnecessarily and the entire situation could have been avoided if I didn't call the first black guy a nigger nor feed into the instigation after one of the Bonnanos called me a beaner. Mugging was never about me getting clothes or drugs it was more about increasing my ego. I'm not going to try to sugar coat it or anything because I never wore the clothes I got from robbing aside from the NASA spaceman suit because it looked stupid and the Feds polo I got from a Cassano. Most of the time I did these things out of selfishness and me wanting to increase my ego. I recognized it at the time but I always dismissed it and claimed that it was for profit. Now that I have seen the consequences to these actions I am able to say that I regret doing these things and I apologize to the people I have harmed while doing this, especially to the new players I knowingly lured to take drugs off of which ruined their perception of the server. A lot of these things I still do to this day on servers like Perpheads and Prometheus because in all honesty its stuff that I enjoy but I have gotten burnt from consistently playing on the same server and seeing the same things happen the same way trough weeks and the thing is that these servers are built for conflict and that serves as its only purpose (Prom more less than Perp but it sees constant shootouts), diverge requires actual roleplay. Although yes I enjoy shootouts I feel like I don't gain as much anymore from the constant-ness of just always having to do something, this is a main reason as to why I'm burnt from perp. I don't feel like I want to nor need to do it as much. Going OOC and general shit talking: As I have said multiple times before I have a bad habit of speaking without thought and usually this would involve me going OOC. Since by definition Metagame is using OOC information (regardless to gain an advantage or not) it's still a rule break. Of course in the past I have said that I would work on it such as in this appeal and then I proceeded to do the exact opposite and instead continue with my talks about certain people and what they have done. Especially towards MXR, I consistently talked about a subject that I personally feel should be widely known but regardless in a server setting all it would do is create unnecessary drama. All of my negative talking did was create drama and I knew this. I apologize to the people I harassed or painted untrue pictures about such as the owner of the NASA suit who repeatedly showed he wanted to get me permanently banned for bringing up accusations. Minging: I feel like this deserves its own section of addressing because I would constantly get described as a minge. Truth be told I rarely followed RP unless it was police RP or I was in a made man activity/meeting. Even on my Lucchese and Taka char I would sometimes dress like a retard and go out to seek conflict from acting stupid. I can also recall getting on my brown and sons char and going up to Bonnanos and doing "/me shakes big jiggly black ass a lil" and then running away once someone mentioned it. Along with this I did add the Dave Blunts suit in and I'm still amazed that Pendred did accept it and im really sorry to Anzati because I know he had to pay a good amount of money to get that added in. I did it all of this cause it was funny to me and I know it was weird and extremely stupid but like all of these other things I found enjoyment trough it. Regardless this wasn't a correct of way of rp'ing at all and I apologize to the people who I 100% weirded out and ruined the immersion of. Hacking: I feel like I need to talk about hacking because at the time of me playing the server there would be a lot of people stalking my medal. Although I do not exactly need to speak about this I still feel as though I should make a mention about this suspicion of me, it can weigh a good amount on if I do make a return or not. I have never cheated on a single Garry's mod server throughout the entire time of me owning this game and although in the past I have stated that I will ESP in a war that was not meant to be taken seriously. I honestly do understand were some of these staff are coming from because from a third person point of view and without my thought process it may seem as though im ESP'ing and even on Prometheus I 1v6'd and I was immediately met with aimbot accusations but the truth is I never have nor I never will inject any cheat especially on a server I have invested a lot of time in. I have a fear of doing something that can compromise my personal security online and installing a cheat and injecting it is too much uncomfortably for me to deal with. Now that these things are out of the way I want to talk about why I want to come back right now Why I am so desperate for this appeal to get accepted: To put it bluntly, obviously at a time like this in server were all this conflict is going around I want to return. The things that are happening right now are things that I dreaded to do and I feel as though making a return at this time would extremely good for my betterment as a role player solely because it will get a lot of things out of my system such as toxicity and I will finally be able to get the closure of participating in an active conflict instead of going out and selfishly making one myself out of boredom. This is the main reason but it's not the only one. I have recently been stalking the updates that this server has received and medal clips and I have heard a lot of things about the additions to evidence RP as well as the map. I know that places like Little Israel have changed entirely and ghetto has received extensions. Weed has also been changed to a nearly manual process, instead of having to water and go afk for 5 minutes there are more steps to it. PK's leave a mess now with a whole dead body spawning and there being good ways to get rid of them, you must pick up physical casings instead of having to do a /me, and black gloves have been added to remove the possibility of fingerprints being left in a crime scene. There has also been more quality of life updates and an issue I found myself constantly running into was having my stamina never regain when getting into a car and I'm glad to say that that issue has been fixed. I miss this server for a lot of things because of it's uniqueness and there can never be a server to replace diverge in any of it's aspects. One last apology: Before I end this I want to apologize to whole groups and people I apologize for the last metagame I did that resulted in my perma I apologize to Byte for him having to mainly deal with a lot of the things I was doing and I can recall it came to a point were he would freeze me while he was on character just to deal with an issue that I was intentionally causing I apologize to MXR for constantly bringing up situations he is extremely uncomfortable with I apologize to most of the Italian factions for my constant harassment and targeting that came from childish reasons I apologize for the consistent harassment I showed Kosher on my cop char because at the time I felt like it was a good reaction for play ground insults I apologize to Lucchese for turning my back on them and going on to main a minge char to seek out ways to ruin other peoples rp like muggings, pk's, and shootouts. I apologize to Takahaski-Kai for turning my back on them once I wanted to pursue playing on De Leon and lying to Jay's face without him knowing it about never trying attempting to mug some of their members I apologize to De Leon (RIP) for increasingly plunging them into conflict based off my targeting and selfishness Another thing I will say sorry for is creating a massive text wall I apologize to the whole community, Canadian, and Pendred for not being able to hold myself as a model member especially with all the time I have put into this server and the length I have been playing this. I ruined peoples RP and overall server experience. It has been around 5 months and the severity of what I was doing as well as the actual ban reason has shown. I understand that if this appeal is accepted any rule break would result in an instant perma ban regardless of how small it may be. I have shown after my first perma ban that I can hold some restrain on creating issues and breaking rules, all I need to do is keep that same set of mind "Will this get me banned or not". One last thing I want to say is I can't exactly provide evidence that I will not fall back into what I did pre perma but the best I can give is my word that I won't and the only way to see it out is if I return. If I ever break my word about never breaking a rule and continuing to minge I know it will lead to my immediate removal.

I think times are changing and since there alot of homosexuals in the italian factions, why not make it lbgt friendly? i mean they enjoyed my pridewalk props and im sure not only they but JMZ himself will stand behind this. also in the 1980s-1990s the gay community started to exploded and stand strong. so its lore friendly. Especially in little italy!

Your Name: Nico di Angelo SteamID: STEAM_0:1:64159305 Staff Member involved: adam What flags were blacklisted from you?: PET Flags Reason for blacklist (if given): I flipped a car over with a cinder-block. (as in I flipped it upside down, not onto its wheels) Why should it be returned?: Aside from me needing it to place down dupes for my faction, building is a crucial part of my time spent on the server. My appeal was previously denied but with the recently accepted appeal that looks almost identical to mine (The Real Gilbert, who also had 2 previous warns and was revoked for flipping a vehicle during dead hours) , I wanted to try again at getting my flags reinstated. I apologize for my actions flipping the vehicle and it won't happen again. I was just messing around at 4-5am and didn't cause any damage to anyone or their property and gently tipped over an already burning vehicle with no one inside or close enough to be hurt from it. Regardless, I know it was wrong and I can promise it will not happen again.

In-Game Name(s): Vincent Vintaloro, LA 'Tanya "Nig-uh" Jackson, Antonio "Nettspend" Santori, Daniel Filone. Steam Name: Sage Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199138283513/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:589008892 Discord Username: xxsage Age: 17 When did you first join the server: 2023 but didn't start playing until August 2024 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 3w 1d 3h 26m Time Zone: PST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 10+ hours 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?: Familiar with SAM, I would like to learn Nutscript Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes ------------------------------------------------- What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I have around 3.2k hours on GMod, As I was accepted in the past I just didn't feel ready and I rushed it as soon as I started playing and didn't wait. I left on my own terms in November. Now that it has been a couple months I would like to learn and take the time on how to staff on Diverge since I know its different from DarkRP staffing. I would like to start helping out and learn Nutscript I feel like I could be useful in some ways. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I feel like everyone should have as much as a chance as I do, But I feel as I'm pretty reliable on most things and I'm always wanting to help. As I mentioned above I have a lot of staff experience, most people that create an application go in blind. The server I used to play they used to have every week "The top ticket takers" I was on that list 7x in a row. I'm extremely active and usually always on when I'm not busy (with school and work) I feel like I could put my skills to use and become a decent staff member. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I was an Administrator for Atomic network for about 6 months which is pretty high on DarkRP especially since it was a really popular server, I was really well known and highly respected. I got promoted pretty fast for the good work I did. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why? I have been banned for MVDMx2 10+ | LTAP | Low Quality Player. As I said I was a minge when I first started and have since then changed, I haven't done anything else besides that and have learned from past choices. 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 I'm too known. but some people know me for custom clothing or just being in Little Italy. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Sadly I was clearing out my clips folder and my medal clips won't load. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Bullets, Jmoorsey, Coco ------------------------------------------------- Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: Try to get another staff member that is not busy or just make a ticket, but it also depends if it was clearly intentional or if it was clearly on purpose. Most of the time I will leave it alone and move on with my day. 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?: Make a report with the proof I have, you shouldn't be abusing your perms to make a unenjoyable time for other players or staff members. 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 take the ticket as I should and treat the person I know like any other person that's making a ticket, My job as a staff member is too not be bias and do tickets correctly. If the player knows I know the person who made the ticket I would simply ask another staff member to take over so no conflict happens.

That clip was definitely not the gay taxi guy.

Before I get into legit anything else just want to point this out… do you want to change what you said or put in any effort at all?

Biased? Again, you are not the victim here, you are the harasser. I have and will always get involved in any and all situations where someone is accosting another member of this community especially with unfounded claims, the kind of claims which spewed from you. Clearly you don't know me, as I am one of the most unbiased staff on this server, and have even gotten after Drunken on several occasions. You clearly know exactly what you meant when you said " You know what you are" because Drunken was still upset at you for what you did. So continue on calling me a liar, JMZ and Drunken can both back me up in these claims. Again, no apology given to the true victim here, Drunken. Playing the victim card is "My ban is unfair, I did nothing wrong", which is what this appeal is, you say you are not deflecting responsibility, yet have not even acknowledged that anything you did had some degree of malfeasance.

weber 2.0

Listen here you little cry baby. Actions have consequences and you need to wipe your tears. I was the first guy you arrested and now i am smoking on your banned pack.

All that flexing on the net but can't pay for the unban

Can I have some mercy please? I have no prior bands. it was one gun. please have mercy on me.

When recruiting people, you might have someone train for you because you're a lazy sack of shit. Sometimes these trainings might not be done properly, yadada, and thats purely the fault of who told you to train right? But what happens in the case of people who don't get invited to the faction discord for example. Crucial step right there, because now you have an un-tracked faction member that can do whatever the fuck they want. Im yapping, heres my proposal. A faction "lock-down" option to whitelisting. Factions may choose to enable or disable this, basically it will not allow anyone to be whitelisted to your faction (staff cannot whitelist TO faction) UNLESS you have C menu recruitment permissions. This will stop the leak of random low level associates/interns from being able to just go "@ whitelist this guy" and causing problems, under the faction whitelist. Maybe I'm just a horrible faction leader idk, but I've caught a bunch of people just blatantly racket abusing recently in my faction (Brown and Sons Co.), yet I cannot do anything about it, other than just unwhitelist them and get staff to note/ban/punish etc.

Name of Character: Jacob Orsini SteamID: STEAM_0:0:861418935 Your Discord ID#: jusufovic Date of PK: 23/4/2025 Reason for PK: HC Disrespecting? and scamming HC Why should you be unPK'd? First of all I never disrespected HC I deeply doubt there's any proof of that only once I said to I don't remember who he was high command to move away from me because he was attacking me for exchanging the names with a jew it was like 5 days ago, about the "scam" I never scammed him he came up to me after I said I won a mil in the casino he told me you want to roll for a suit I didn't want to honestly but I was like fuck it why not before starting I asked him do you want to play who gets higher number or who hits the 0 first where he didn't say shit and he started rolling, didn't know this can get me PKed because the reason is dumb, even if I won by not playing by the rules I wouldn't get his suit because he would be the one in my place. He asked me to do a roll again this time his suit for my 200k because I didn't want to roll before, I said no. After it was all normal and I even bought pin and I wanted to buy more pins from him it was like nothing happened, they after came up to me asking for the 300k I knew I was gonna get pked when they took me to the coast, he wanted me to give him 200k and we made a deal on 150k, he even bought me Donator Rank for 500k I literally forgot about the roll I know I had 850k at that moment when I got PKed still didn't want to give him my money because the game wasn't played by the rules if he told me before starting what are we playing I would give him the money I won't care that much tbh because I lost more than 1,5m or even more in the casino always somehow get back, about the disrespect which doesn't exist it was just once I told someone idk who to move away because he was literally powertripping (I know he is a higher rank but still pressing me over nothing) I was talking with HC and the other one that I "Disrespected" about that I wasn't guilty about that one for sure, and I don't remember any more disrespects because they don't exist, I know that the PK was given out by the Don but he should keep in mind that the guy didn't give me his suit, money or anything even offered the roll he didn't suffer any financial loss if I didn't play by the rules like him and I stole his suit that would be valid because I literally scammed him that way. I even compensated 150.000$ for him I had money so that's it and I feel like even if I gave him those 300k I would still get PKed for the "Disrespect" why didn't the Don come to me and talk about that I would say what really happened to avoid the PK and if he actually thinks I am lying or something I would give him the 300k fuck it. "○ Inner-family issues should be handled by the Don of the family and will not always result in murder." Examples: If they withheld money (kick-ups), robbed/mugged/scammed a fellow member, or did something else to directly harm the gang in a financial way. (If somebody was hurt in financial way it was me compensating him the 150.000$ he wanted) If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: Sadly I do not have that because my medal clips 4 minutes but if he or someone else has a proof I would like to see it.

So there's private security companies and bail bonds companies in the city but they only have lethal options at the present moment. Obviously these companies are expected to subdue people non-lethally. The tazer would help accomplish this and it would be cool if you could instantly or more quickly restrain someone who is tazed. Further, if a tazer is unavailable or too expensive etc it might make sense to make it such that if you take a certain level of bludgeoning melee damage (not slash or stab damage as that's simply more lethal) that you could get knocked out. If you're knocked out either you could be in a stunned state or simply fall over like a tazer would do. In either case it would also be ideal to allow people to be tied up in this state. I do already see a problem with the falling over thing where it might bypass the AFK timer? Just pointing out things as they come to mind. TLDR you need the right tool for the job and you don't always need to beat someone to death or shoot them for that matter. Instead of NLRing people who antagonize your business you could beat their ass and kick them to the curb.

I understand it can be frustrating, but conflicts are dynamic and ever changing based on the circumstances or issues that present themselves. They also can change based on what the two alliances agree on, like that melee brawl in the park, it's more about helping to create roleplay instead of just gunning people down, these aren't hard rules that will apply to every single conflict moving forward they are unique to the situation of this particular conflict, and sometimes they need to be added or modified based on the issues or complaints either side has. So since they are dynamic they can't be hard added to a post or rule page, and they only apply to the select factions in a current conflict, meaning the sole responsibility lies on the faction leaders or alliance members in sharing those messages and rules with their underlings. Now I was told that the Gambino HC had notified the relevant people in their faction of the safehouse conditions, so I have no reason to believe the circumstances surrounding it are in any doubt as i trust that they did their due diligence, especially considering this hasn't happened to anyone else.

Your Name: Vicci Vendetta SteamID: 76561199840497935 Staff Member involved: adam What was blacklisted from you?: my prop perms Reason for blacklist (if given): because i was stupid and decided to mess around with the props not knowing the consequences at stake of using the props the wrong way Why should it be returned?: Because I decided to be mature about the game and be more serious in which I haven't been and I also bought it with my hard earned money and wouldn't want to let it go to waste I planned on buying a business and to decorate it and make it look presentable and to not prop abuse ever again since i found out the consequences at stake and how its fail rp in doing so and not serious at all I understand if I don't get it back but I would like if you would consider the decision of granting it back to me because I think my business will bring more rp to the server

Just a small thing, but can add to roleplay and decoration to pubs, and adds a small game to play with friends. I think there's a mod for it called MBillards, if I'm not mistaken.

if they gave string and jmz a chance why not +1

I'm not apart of the commission, don't even know what factions you're in. You trying to be manipulative and say "name me one example" is also NOT a good look. I said my previous interactions with you were negative, how do you expect me to name each and every one? I remember you and that's all that matters. There is literally no reason for me to lie, if I thought you were a good candidate for staff I would +1, I simply just don't think you would be fit for staff. Also acting like the people saying "+1 not a commission main" aren't biased either, but bring it up when they -1 you for not being a commission main. You're only okay with people being biased when it benefits you, which is exactly why I didn't +1 and called you a LQP. You arguing with -1s is just proving gent right "immature, only argues with people"

(Unless you have posted a valid LOA): I do 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?: I do ------------------------------------------------- Long Answer Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 5 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I have been playing on Diverge for the past 3.5 months, with my experience I've come to notice that there are some time frames where tickets can take up to 20-30 minutes (experienced this when I got my first PK), or times when there are 0 staff online / staff online but AFK. As someone who regularly plays Diverge, I can help the community during the dead hours when there are no staff active. The Majority of my time on Diverge is early afternoon and or late at night, i work night shifts so I like to hop on Diverge to unload, i am used to seeing the server >40 throughout my days and nights. My ideals with being in diverge have been to be kind to the community regardless of how they act. I want to make sure that they feel they are being properly treated within the city and all around have a good time. Watching the community through my time of being here has brought me so much happiness and helping them with any issues would be a dream come true. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: In my nearly 1 month of playtime in Diverge I have kept a nearly clean sheet having 4 notes, 2 of them being related to PET Flags from me being an idiot (I'm sorry Darnell ), 1 for a pamphlet I made, and 1 for RDM (which I believe wasn't right but I'm not here to fight). In my eyes, the time I've spent in city vs the amount of notes I have helps prove that I keep my nose clean. I've grasped all of the rules and I believe that my knowledge of these rules can make sure tickets are dealt with properly and unbiasedly. I am able to get points across with little to no backtalk regarding serious matters due to my manner of speaking and how I give them the news, which can be helpful against rowdy folks who Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I do not have any previous experience. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have not Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I like to believe that i have a good reputation within the community. I by no means am famous but I do think that a decent amount of people know me. In my time of being in city ranging from civilians to people in the police department members of the community commend me for being nice to them regardless of where they work. I have made alot of friends within the city and I do take pride that so many people respect me because of how I treat them. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: PD Protest https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k3txf4OZ3taE_ZiJL?invite=cr-MSxIakosMTg3NTU1MzYx Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: 4Lights ------------------------------------------------- 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?: I will wait a few minutes for the ticket to be taken, if the ticket goes unclaimed I will swiftly take the ticket and collect the evidence, (I do NOT know if this is a feature) I will then request someone who is currently on duty while I help the person. With time, hopefully someone will take the ticket and I will pass on the person who got RDMed to whoever takes over and I will go back to what I was doing. 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?: Collect as much evidence as possible of their actions, anything that can be used to make sure they are punished for their actions. When I believe I have gained enough evidence I will submit the evidence to UA where they will be able to properly deal with the staff member abusing. 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 start by asking for any evidence, anything that can help figure out any details that are needed. If there is adequate evidence that proves that the person did indeed RDM and minge I will properly deal with the situation, depending on the severity of their actions it could result in a note if there are no priors, or if it's a serious offence it would result in a ban. Regarding the "Does it constitute possible bias" has a simple answer, anything regarding someone you know can have possible bias, but I can be unbiased when needed regardless of who it is. ---------------------------------------------------------

Name of Character: Jackson Romano SteamID: STEAM_0:0:117683863 Your Discord ID#: Indexcicive Date of PK: 4/19/2025 Reason for PK: Raid (through escalated conflicts) Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I should be unPK'ed because the individual who killed, Char ID 160706, seemed to know exactly where everyone was going in that entire raid. There was some sort of hacks used in this situation to know exactly where the hitters were. When we were about to attack, the opposing side, at roughly 4:00 AM CST, decided to hop on to protect the property. Originally, there was just Marciano Altoviti, who was to be the target. Immediately after we had 5-6 people on a roof far away from the warehouse, they loaded in 3-4 more people.. With no one around the area except the individuals inside the warehouse, they kept baiting to attack the warehouse. When we make an attempt, all of a sudden, they load people into the server to prepare right away. There was no way to really tell if we were going to attempt an attack unless you were able to see through walls how many people were planning an attack. Subsequently, there was only one Altoviti on at the time, who continued to switch on and off characters, which we took note of. Initially, we pushed into the warehouse and attempted a hard push. We decided to flee back, and as we fled back, they attempted to push in the same second we fled. In this instance, you would want to scope out and wait to see if the area was clear before attempting to fight back. But they knew exactly where my other hitter, Tristano, was, as well as when I tried to swing back, where I was. In my push, I have a video that shows I spotted our target through the peaks of the train track and took a general note of where he walked to without even looking at the tracks. In that same second, he immediately guns me out by turning around, aiming directly at me, and killing me. I noticed the target at 00:14. 00:18 I take a general guess to estimate where he would walk to and take note of last position. At 00:22 somehow he locks on and finds out exactly where I am, seeing me directly. Exactly on that same second of 00:22, he shoots me on the head and I die. According to the staff, they were watching these fights. this was the initial concern in the beginning of it all, "They are most likely going to use hacks." As soon as we stood infront of the property, they baited by expressing heavy activity through rumours. While the argument could be made that "He heard you", it seems odd that the entire fight he knew where two attackers were, and when it was the right time to push when we left with zero hesitation. If possible, please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k7lRGK3Qu3io7E4tB?invite=cr-MSxmNVMsNTMwMzE5NDQ We were asked to create an appeal because it was highly recommended that we do so.

+1 Gov Mansion can be reworked into an "industrial/wall street" region with world Corp and maybe other industrial/business esc buildings gives a lot of RP opportunity for general people and actual business opportunity/ideas for factions A LOT of potential but shit doesnt happen overnight + mapping takes time

Name of Character: Alisio Ramano and Lucien Dupont SteamID: 76561198257129936 Your Discord ID#: ALG#0914 Date of PK: March 31st, 2025 Reason for PK: Both characters were PK’d following a mugging scenario involving Lucien Dupont and my friend’s character, Andre Dupont. Certain server rules regarding raiding, item transfer between characters, and the creation of mugging characters were unintentionally broken. Why should you be unPK’d? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: After speaking with staff and reflecting on the situation, I now understand the mistakes I made. At the time, I thought I had a good grasp on the server’s mugging and PK rules — I’d been asking people around me questions because I genuinely wanted to learn and stay within bounds. However, I now realize several key things I misunderstood: • I gave my friend (Andre Dupont) a shipment of guns from my main character, Alisio Ramano, just to help him out. I wasn’t thinking about using any myself at the time, but later, when I made Lucien Dupont, I ended up using one from that shipment. I now realize that still breaks the rules on character separation and item sharing, even if it wasn’t intentional. • I didn’t realize that creating a character solely for mugging (Lucien) is considered Fail RP, since it avoids consequences that a main character would face. • I was also unaware that the raid timer applies to groups, not individuals. When we lockpicked two motel doors, I mistakenly believed it was fine because we were doing it separately. • Lastly, my friend (Andre Dupont) never shot anyone during the situation. He was simply following me around because I had told him I knew what I was doing. He trusted that I understood the rules, and I now see that I unintentionally led us both into breaking them. While we talked in VC about the idea of trying out mugging before creating the characters, there was no metagaming during the RP itself. I fully accept responsibility and now understand how these actions negatively impacted the roleplay and broke server rules. That said, I’m not asking for the characters to be revived out of entitlement — I accept the PKs and the outcome. I’m writing this to show I’ve learned from the situation and that I’m serious about being a respectful, rule-abiding player in the community. I enjoy this server a lot, and I want to continue growing with it in the right way. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: I don’t have video or photo evidence, but I’m happy to cooperate if logs or additional information are needed. Thank you for your time and for giving me the opportunity to improve from this experience.

the people who ended up cleaning the crime scene were both Underground Association members as they turned the body of the guy you killed into a gif. If UA is gonna investigate any meta gaming cops I dont think it'll be on our side. Edit after the fact: I was wrong turned out it was commission people just assumed cause of the pictures

Ok this is senseless ragebait. you get a 1/10 on the ragebait scale.

+1 Hes better than that retard Jmoorsey

Equipable briefcases with a balanced amount of extra storage space, visible when equipped. This not only gives extra inventory space, but also offers roleplay opportunities and unique player interactions (Briefcase filled with money, guns, drugs, contracts, documents, limbs, etc). Can be placed in crates, lockers, cars, dropped, etc. Purchasable at hardware store or at barge? Will take up perhaps 8 slots of inventory space while offering 10-16 slots? Maybe brief/suitcases of different sizes?

I am aware the last post about this topic was turned down, but I feel it didn't elaborate enough on how much potential it really has for both parties involved, ESPECIALLY for NYPD. Firstly, it gives fairplay for both the targeted faction and the NYPD as the criminals aren't the only ones who risk losing their chars during this event. Police already benefit from body armor and PK immunity in other circumstances, however this situation could create a much more intense situation with great roleplay and pvp potential. The criminal faction would have to tighten security and improve weaponry, whereas police would have to plan an elaborate insertion. A situation where police risk their lives during a raid incentivizes a slower, well thought-out breach with, for example, multiple entry points, sniper teams, sentries to watch the entry team’s back and so on. On another note, this concept could also push the idea of the creation of specialized police forces as would be SWAT, FBI, DEA and so on which is more than possible considering NYPD is technically the largest faction in the server. This could encourage rigorous trainings, selective recruitment (good pvpers and strategists), etc. I feel if we look at it from this POV, this whole event could be turned into an intense, thrilling, action packed experience with high stakes and high potential for developing certain sub-communities and whatnot. Also canadian bacon the argument of a guy wiping out the task force from behind doesnt quite work if there are sentries deployed. And the NYPD is impossible to wipe out through PKs. There will always be new candidates and cadets. NYPD enthusiasts and UA pls read this with an open mind

I actually hate this guy so much

Are you his boyfriend dude? why you riding his dick so hard
