In-Game Name(s): Carlo Lucchese (now Carlo Medici), Marco Vercelli Steam Name: Krokie Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Kro_kie/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:626268130 Discord Username: Crocie Age: 20 When did you first join the server: Sun, 17 Jul 2022 11:12:57 GMT Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 8mo 1w 3d 3h 36m Time Zone: GMT/BST (UK) How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: an hour or two per 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 Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: yes ------------------------------------------------- Long Answers What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I've been on the server since 2022 and have made countless memories and friends via diverge. I've considered staffing for a long time but more so recently as I want to benefit the server in more ways that just via my roleplay. I believe becoming a staff member and eventually maybe a GM will allow me to benefit the server in ways past just roleplaying. * Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I've been a consistent player since I joined and have only taken one serious break during that time. During this extended time on the server I've played without being banned by understanding and following the rules. I've also played at all levels on the RP side of the server and therefore have an in depth understanding of RP and how staff should interact with it. * Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I do not have any previous staffing experience. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have not been banned. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: Since I started out on diverge I have been a part of factions and friend groups of all types ranging from my first faction (Zolotoy Bratva) under the federation in 2022, to being in my second faction (Diamond Syndicate) under the commission at the start of 2023. Since then I have been High Command in 3 different factions with a wide variety of relationships with the other factions of the server. These relationships with other factions include being at war, being a district and helping lead and manage alliances. Because of this I'd say I have become very well known in the community in a large variety of circles across alliances, friend groups and individual factions. Additionally throughout all of this I believe I have gone without having any major OOC issues with anyone and have pushed RP as much as possible. Thanks to all of this I'm confidant I am very well known, have a good reputation and am reasonably well liked. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: My favourite diverge moment Honourable Mentions: JMoorsey VDM, Bullets TP, Flying Ferrari, Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Pendred ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: If I witnessed the situation, I would start by taking a clip before reaching out in staff chat to inform an on duty member of the team of the situation. If a ticket had already been made/taken, I'd send the staff member dealing with the situation my clip and attempt to give any information on the situation. I would only take the ticket if I was the only staff member online and had not been involved with the situation. 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?: Take clips/screenshots over time to build proof and bring it to Upper Administration. 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 first avoid taking the ticket and make staff chat aware that I was avoiding taking it. If I was the only staff member available to take the ticket, then I would request any evidence and information regarding the situation. I would carefully consider this, if unsure I'd request additional opinions from someone uninvolved with the faction/friend. If I came to an understanding that the person the ticket was made against had broken the rules, I'd look into their history of bans and notes before giving them a punishment based on the actions committed and their history.

Hi banning admin here. I was asked to weigh in on, and then enact your ban during a conversation with at least 6 other staff members, including staff higher ranking than myself. Looking through your logs, it is blatantly apparent to me, as well as the other staff, that you don't intend to roleplay. In your previous appeal, you said: "If I get unbanned, I plan to roleplay and add to the servers experience instead of take away from it. If I come back to the server I won't be mugging at all, shouting at people for no reason, or breaking any rules." So far you have spent most of your time mugging, outside of that AFK'ing at your property, and making negative and cringeworthy Underground Advertisement endlessly. It's worth noting that hiring a few people and ordering oil is not what constitutes roleplay. Your provided evidence of roleplay is also pretty sub-par. You have been known to mug various people who blatantly have nothing of value on their person, which to my eye is likely PK hunting. You make the core of your character, down to his nickname, about mugging. You post a large number of rumours per session gloating about your muggings, and announcing plans for your next muggings. All of this adds up, as well as your previous bans and reputation - to show that you are just a mugging character, who can provide little to no valuable roleplay to the server. The testimony of a small handful of Takahashi players that you "have been helpful in the 1 week you were there" is not doing much to disprove that, either. PK hunting, most failmugs (which you have done at least one) and NITRP are all bannable offenses. Referencing Canadian's judgement on your perma ban appeal: "If you are banned again it will be extended to permanent once more." Thus I extended your ban to permanent. TL;DR - I was asked to ban you if I believed your actions constituted a ban, I did, as did numerous other staff. You had a 1 strike, you're out policy laid out to you when you were unperma'd. Good luck on the appeal.

In-Game Name(s): Doriano Siegel, Rocco Morello, Nephew Crust IV, Officer Ricardo Lopez. Steam Name: Rain Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199077522663/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:558628467 Discord Username: money.blue Age: 17 When did you first join the server: I'm assuming 2022-2023 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2mo 3w 1d 6h 54m Time Zone: Central How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 4+ 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?: Sort of 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?: My motivation for applying comes from watching some of my good friends or even other candidates become a staff member and actually contribute to the community, as well as the amount of time I spend on diverge almost everyday. I feel that I have a ton of free time on my hands and I truly do want to contribute to the roleplay experience on a further level and prove those wrong who think I am incapable. Frequently, I am checking /staffinfo to see who's online and whatnot but there are usually many tickets open with staff who are either AFK or in some cases there are just too many tickets to handle at a time... I feel that with my flexible availability I would contribute a lot to clearing up tickets especially during peak activity since that's when I am usually available. I know I have a very long history of PO's... but after my last permanent ban I realized that I truly do enjoy being a part of this community and that is not the path I want to go down. It has been 9 months since my last ban and I think it is about time I make this application, as I've been considering it for a while now. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: Considering the years I've spent on Diverge, I would absolutely say I have plenty of experience in the mafia roleplay field especially since I am high command IC. Also, I do have some prior staffing experience which I feel would help me catch on easier to any trainings/lessons hosted upon recruitment. I do notice bias is a big discussion around town, so I would of course remain 100% neutral during anything staff related no matter if it is my faction member or an enemy faction member. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Atomic DarkRP - Moderator (2 months roughly) Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, multiple times. 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 am well known considering I am HC of a pretty big faction (Kosher). I honestly do not know how others might feel about me, but we will find out soon. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: The War of 89' (beautiful coordination from both sides & lore) Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Bernie, joeeey, peeboy, schmekles, jennay, calink ------------------------------------------------- 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 would instantly save a clip from the situation to reach out to another staff member who can handle the ticket and provide them with the proof necessary to punish the offender accordingly, and compensate the victim in the situation. 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?: Again, I would save clips from any abuse and file all of them into a staff report on the forums, since abuse is not tolerated. 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?: Yes, if you are taking a ticket where your friend or faction member has a ticket made against him, it will constitute bias in other people's eyes and that is why it is frowned upon. If any of my friends or faction members had a ticket on them I would avoid taking the ticket, and if I am already in the ticket I might ask another staff member to take over depending on the severity. ---------------------------------------------------------

In-Game Name(s): Luca Vintaloro, Senior Officer Sebastian Garcia, Arturo Bonanno and Ryan Goystein Steam Name: Bullets Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Jitq/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:746698861 Discord Username: “ibullets.” Age: 17 When did you first join the server: June 2nd, 2024 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 3 months 4 weeks Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 12+ hours a week Have you read the rules?: Of course 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?: All too well Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: I do. ------------------------------------------------- What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * I am applying for multiple reasons, one being Gamemaster. Since I've started playing the server I've basically always wanted to host and create GM events to create more things to do on the server for the community. As of recent I've noticed UA has been looking to make GM events more motivated to keep GM events fun RP wise and I believe if given the opportunity I would excel greatly within the position of Gamemaster. My other reason is again community based, I want people on the server to actually have fun and not have any poor experiences with staff this might be biased but I believe in my past I was a good unbiased member of staff, yes I wasn't perfect at points but I tried my best to provide the best experience possible. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I think I should be considered for a plethora of reasons I can list a few, I was previously staff for 8+ months and hit quota nearly every week, I missed it twice I believe. I got too much playtime on the server and can help out with nearly every issue a player would have. I will and HAVE banned my friends if they're acting like retards and breaking the rules, check Mards' bans for proof of this. In the sit room I hold 0 bias so you wont have to worry of any issues arising from accepting me. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I was staff on some shit bag DarkRP server years ago and staff on here from 2024-2025 Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: NITRP | Mass VDM | LTAP - I was brand new to the server and was being a retard. RDM (POs x1) - I was messing around and RDM'd a kind hearted girl Metagame - Genuinely bullshit I didn't do anything, I was accused of metagaming that a Kosher Nostra member was in jail but I was literally just pissing about swapping characters and it was wrong place wrong time. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * People have mixed opinions about me, I hold no grudges. I'm a lover not a fighter... What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: This GM event: CLIP Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: N/A ------------------------------------------------- Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I would notify the other staff online in @ chat about the incident in case of any MRDM, but in most situations, I wouldn't deal with it personally, unless this player is obviously just going around killing people for no reason. 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 let the Senior Admin+ know about the abuse with clips for proof of it. 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 deal with the sit as I would normally if they have recent notes about the same thing I would ban them, if they didn't have recent notes or no notes at all I would just give them a note. If I punished him differently (not noting/banning them for example) then if I didn't know him that would be completely biased. I would also call for a different staff if the reporting player wants a different one because of suspicion of bias.

Character Name: Nigasaki Steam ID: Steam ID: 76561199000155694 Discord ID: __felonius_ Reason for ban: Retarded Server Drama. Involving that fucking schizo Hero and Pendred. Length: Perm Reason For Appeal: I miss the simplicity of playing diverge with my friends drama free and I would also like to take accountability for my part and clear a few things up. I am Nigasaki/Money Printer/ Unc Oji/ Felonius whatever aliias you know me by. I was the community manager for Golden Coast Studios and here is essentially what happened from my perspective from start to finish. Me, Superhero, and sushiyama had been Gmod friends for a long time and we all came together and decided we wanted to know what its like to develop/run a RP server the original goal was actually Five M but we realized that was to unrealistic for a first project so we chose gmod to use as a test plus our friends who had weaker computer could play and test with us. gmod was never intended to be our permanent main focus, we weren't after a cult following and had all agreed we are not aiming to be a diverge killer or start problems with Diverge Networks AT FIRST. But as time went on and development continued Hero started Schizoing out as we realized. Claiming diverges staff was trashing us, talking about our personal lives, threatening to dox us PENDRED THIS, PENDRED THAT, and not realizing yet that this dude is a fucking chronic liar believed him and fed into the beef which i admit i was wrong and in retrospect i should not have stepped in or stood up for that retard. time goes on even more and this fucking idiot just lies lies lies oh I'm doing this oh I'm doing that lying about all these girls he talks to we got fed up with his bullshit got so out of hand as High staff we decided to keep this fucking idiot out of the spotlight. Later found out he wasn't even paying our developer which means there was times he'd ask for money and it wasn't going to the server and when we confronted him about it his response i shit you not is to get angry call me and sushi the N word over and over again, call us brokies, flex how "rich" he is crashout leave the team come here make an appeal and claim Sushiyama and I "groomed him" which is a fucking crazy thing to say this dude claims to be 27 years old but looks about 2 years younger than my grandma and flexes on the internet about how cool he is and im just some dude who was barely 20 at the time who had a passion for video games in his freetime. With hero gone and the drama finally over we decided it was time to pull the plug on golden coast it would never be worth the headache it gave me I admit i wasn't right at the time either as I fed into drama but after seeing his appeal I felt obligated to make this because what the FUCK. I aknowledge my part in it and that I wasn't right for my part in it and since hero take some accountability ill do it on his behalf to because this shit is ridiculous. I'd like to come back to diverge and catch up with my friends I haven't gotten to play with in a while, but if you deny this appeal im not gonna sit here and act like I don't understand why

This would allow us to check our activity, know the exact # of people on our whitelist, and unwhitelist people without staff. Allowing the FL to go through and unwhitelist people who haven’t played in many months would also cut down on old players coming back to abuse rackets. Most factions (unless you have someone frequently clean your WL) have 500+ people on their whitelist. I personally know that I have people from 2024 still on my whitelist.

Oil Containers, LSD Barrels, and Meth Barrels all have the same image. This leads to confusion when trying to sort out between all 3. Example 1: You're selling oil to Rockefeller, but accidentally put in LSD or Meth Example 2: You're doing a crew deal for LSD: Meth, but something either gets mixed up or an accidental oil container gets slipped in there Although these things can be solved through close examination of every item, it would be best if all 3 aren't the same image. Perhaps a change in color for each of the barrels could be a good addition, or different images altogether for LSD and Meth.

What is your motivation/reason for applying?: After being in this server for as long as I have been I have never not thought trying out for staff. I think after seeing other staff members operate that I could give it my best shot, do my best and give something new a try. I've also realized that becoming staff looks and sounds quite fun, So why not? Why should you be considered over other candidates?: *I feel as if I have a lot of experience in the more popular rules like minge rules, mugging rules etc. Another reason is because I am able to put in a lot of time and effort into becoming a staff member and also give good advice on the rules and what to do next time. For my final reason on why I think I should be considered over other staff members is because of how I really have no bias toward anyone, If you break a rule you break a rule, and there is nothing more to it. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): No Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have been banned 4 separate times in my time playing diverge once for item transfer for a month, 1 for NITRP 12 hours, one for RDM for 3 days , And 1 for Metagame for 6 hours Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I think that I am somewhat well known in the community for my custom items, I think I have an alright reputation for my characters like my cop char and my main. I think other members have a somewhat neutral feeling towards me. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: The racket events of '89 and '90 Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Boosted, Dopeasretired, Schmekles, Lunar, Yugi, Hammer, Toast ------------------------------------------------- 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?: Kindly ask another staff member to take my ticket. 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 clip it and report it either in the forums or report it to a higher staff member 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, there should be no bias, It does not matter if they are my friend or not, If a rule has been broken then a punishment needs to be given.

Since the new update, where boxing gloves do not kill players anymore, I think it would be a good idea to implement a boxing record system. When two players both have boxing gloves on, and one knocks out the other, the game would keep track of who won and lost. The player who gets the knockout would receive a win 1-0 The player who gets knocked out would receive a loss 0-1 This would allow people to build a boxing record and help encourage some businesses to start a boxing league and create RP within the server. I think it would also be cool if you could go up to other players while having boxing gloves equipped. Click "C" and a menu option would pop up, which allows you to demonstrate your record 22-2 and also their strength stat. This would only apply to that specific character, so if you make a new character, the record resets, and if you try buying a new pair of gloves on the same character, it keeps the same record.

actually fuck that, -1 this guy mugged my homies homies homies homie and now hes my main opp because I got my nose in everything johnny depp style

I’ve been thinking about how some current mechanics could lead into deeper criminal gameplay if they were expanded a bit. Right now we can lockpick vehicles, but realistically the only thing people do with stolen cars is drive them around for a bit and then ditch them. It feels like the mechanic is there but it doesn’t really lead anywhere. Since vehicles can already have premium tracking, once a car is reported stolen the police automatically get the vehicle description and location. That part works well because it creates a reason for police to respond. The problem is criminals don’t really have a next step besides abandoning the car. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vehicle Theft → Tracker Removal → Chop Shops One idea would be allowing stolen vehicles to be brought to hidden mechanic spots or illegal garages where players can attempt to remove the GPS tracker. The removal could take some time, meaning the car's still traceable while criminals are working on it, giving police a chance to intercept. If the tracker is removed successfully, the vehicle could then be taken to a chop shop. At the chop shop, players could dismantle the car and receive things like: scrap materials illegal vehicle parts a payout depending on the vehicle This would turn vehicle theft into an actual criminal loop instead of just a temporary joyride. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Black Market Buyers Stolen goods could then be sold through black markets buyers. These could be NPC buyers that appear in rotating locations around the map and purchase things like: vehicle parts stolen electronics jewelry contraband Because the location moves, criminals would have to transport the goods across the city instead of selling everything in one place. This also gives police opportunities for surveillance, stakeouts, or interceptions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cargo Truck Robberies Another idea that could fit well would be cargo truck robberies. Delivery trucks moving goods across the city could be intercepted by factions. Players would need to: hijack the truck secure the cargo transport it somewhere else to sell Police could receive alerts like cargo theft in progress or hijacked delivery vehicle, which would create moving situations instead of static robberies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- High Value Transport Robberies A similar system could work with armored vans or jewelry shipments traveling between locations. Factions could attempt to intercept the transport while police respond to protect it. This would naturally lead to bigger RP situations and vehicle pursuits. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall Idea The goal isn't just adding more crimes, but creating connected criminal activities. For example: steal vehicle → remove tracker → chop car for parts → sell parts to black market buyer or intercept cargo truck → steal goods → transport them somewhere else → sell through the black market This kind of system would encourage planning, teamwork, and longer RP chains, while also giving law enforcement more situations to investigate and respond to.

Your keyboard is short circuiting from all the drool that came out of your mouth while you wrote this. If you think you're getting unbanned you might be the most delusional person on the planet.

Normally shipments are purchased and spawn at random locations across the map. We should have the ability to have shipments delivered to preset locations for a price. And/or have the ability to use the in-game phones to order shipments from npcs. Besides P2P trades, the phones aren't used much from what I've seen.

In-Game Name(s): - Tony Vallone - Andy "Grim" Ryder -DeMarcus "Jamal" Blackson -Officer Marco Grimes • Steam Name: secret • Steam Profile Link: Profile Link • Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:439522528 • Discord Username: xsfqn • Age: 20 • When did you first join the server: 25 August 2024 • Total playtime on our Servers: 850 hours (1M, 4D, 21H) • Time Zone: GMT +3 • How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: I think i can comfortably dedicate 20–30 hours a week • 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?: Yes • Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: No, but I’m open to learning them if needed. • 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’ve been roleplaying on the server for over 1.5 years and really enjoy being part of the community. Over time I got curious about how things work behind the scenes and how staff handle everything. That curiosity drives me, and I also like helping other players whenever I can, which is why I decided to apply + To be honest, after losing my two main characters with a total of 750 hours, I kinda lost my drive to roleplay. But I feel like becoming staff could give me a new responsibility and hobby, and that’s my biggest motivation for applying. • Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I believe two things set me apart. First is my Time Zone and availability, Im based in Europe, so late nights and early mornings on the server are normal hours for me. During these times, when staff presence is limited, I can step in to help players and support the community, which I think gives me an edge over other candidates. • Do you have any previous staffing experience?: Back in 2016 and 2017, during the DarkRP era, I played on a lot of European servers and even got the chance to be a long term staff member. However, compared to Diverge, I’ve never held a staff role on a big server or any platform worth mentioning before. • Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, I have been banned before. The first time was when I had just joined the server and killed someone who was trying to mug me. I didn’t use Medal or a similar tool to prove it, so I couldn’t defend myself and was banned for RDM and lying to staff. Later, in 2025, I made one of my biggest mistakes by joining an RP with people I didn’t know, which got me a 3-week ban. After that, I read and memorized all the rules, and I went a whole year without any bans. Recently, after losing my 500 hour and 250 hour characters, I mugged someone with my last remaining character. Staff considered it insufficient RP for my account and counted it as a mugging character, which led to my third and final ban. I want to add that I have learned the necessary and valuable lessons from my mistakes, and these bans have made me a more skilled and knowledgeable player. You can be confident that these mistakes will not be repeated, and if you give me a chance, I promise to put in the effort to prove that to you. • 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 I’m pretty well known in the community. Over the years, I’ve been part of a bunch of different families and made a lot of friends, but also some people who don’t really like me or aren’t happy about my presence. Some players genuinely like me, some don’t, and I’ve always treated people the way they approached me. I also want to make it clear that what others think or say about me doesn’t affect the choices I make or the way I act. • What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: 1 - The Racket event of ’89, which was intense and chaotic, really memorable RP. 2 - Becoming a Made Man in the French Mob, an amazing milestone that made me feel more connected to the community. 3 - The Racket event of ’90, another high energy experience that kept me on my toes and gave me some of the best RP moments. • Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Winchester, Hammer, vel0city and GALAXY ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I know that Diverge staff don’t like when active admins interfere in scenarios they’re part of, so if I’m off-duty I’d handle it like any other player: I’d record a clip, submit a ticket, and wait. If the player is doing something like MRDM or MVDM that’s ruining other players’ experience and there’s no other active staff, I’d step in myself. Otherwise, I’d submit a ticket or report it through the forum’s player report section if needed. • 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’d gather all necessary information about the rule being broken and collect proof, like clips and screenshots. Then, if needed, I’d report the situation to the upper administrators (UA) and submit a report through the Staff Report section. • 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 think the most important thing for a staff member is not letting personal feelings affect their decisions. Whether it’s a friend or someone you don’t like shouldn’t matter. I’d look at the situation, treat every player fairly, and make sure the right action is taken no matter who it is. Additional Note: I am aware that I have had conflicts with several members on the server in the past, and I acknowledge that my mistakes and issues may inevitably influence this application. However, I want to assure everyone that if I am given a chance, I will make the most of it and contribute to the server to the best of my ability. Furthermore, I genuinely value all feedback from the community. Whether positive or critical, I see it as an opportunity to learn, improve, and act fairly. I am committed to listening carefully and taking all perspectives into account to foster a supportive and professional environment.

Suggestion: Introduce a newer, more premium phone such as the "Motorola MicroTAC 9800X" (released April 25, 1989) to the Electronics Store. Why?: 1. It's era-appropriate for the time setting, and shows tech advancement/improvements within the late 80s and early 90s. 2. It could take up 1 inventory slot instead of 2, giving an incentive to upgrade.

Your Name: Mike Brown SteamID: STEAM_0:0:537580088 Staff Member involved: can’t really remember What was blacklisted from you?: PET Reason for blacklist (if given): I went over the top with prop flipping cars Why should it be returned?: There’s not much I can say to dispute this, if a clip exists of me doing this, it looks very very bad. I prop flipped multiple cars one night, on a sort of rampage. A mass car flip incident. At the time it didn’t matter much to me that I’ve lost them, I was so busy with life I simply couldn’t be bothered by losing my prop gun. However one night I decide to play the server and went to my ghetto apartment, only to find an empty space that I could no longer make my HOME. An overwhelming wave of sadness washed over me as I stared at this empty room. I am proud of my interior design skills. My ghetto apartments are truly a great area for all players to enjoy. A tsunami of grief washed me away when I realized I could no longer set up my hood drank stand independently. PLEASE FORGIVE ME STAFF TEAM. My actions were reprehensible, maybe I had to be reminded what it was like to play gmod without its essence. It is truly an unpleasant experience. I will not commit such acts again.

(Unless you have posted a valid LOA):Yes Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?:No but I'm willing to 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?: Mainly, I’m looking to be a more active member of the community and get to know more people outside of my current circles through positive interactions. I came back a few months ago after a multiple year break and realised how much I still genuinely enjoy Diverge. I’d like to be able to give back to the community that’s given me so much enjoyment over the years, and I thought there wasn’t really a better way than becoming a staff member. I’ve always enjoyed trying new things, and after having a lot of different kinds of roleplay on the server, I think applying for staff would be a great way to gain insights into how the server runs on a more technical, rules oriented level. Also, because I’m in Ireland, I often play during low pop hours, when there are fewer staff on, and I’d like to make sure that players during those hours are also having a good experience. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I am a very level-headed person, especially during stressful scenarios. People can get really riled up during staff sits, which is understandable, they’re long, interrupt your time on the server, and often don’t end up exactly the way you hope. Being able to remain calm in those scenarios is a great skill to have. I’d also consider myself pretty good at understanding biases that I may hold. Obviously, in an ideal world, I’d take tickets exclusively from people I don’t know, but there will be times when I’m the only staff member available to take a ticket from someone I know. In those situations, I’m good at grounding myself and looking at it from an objective viewpoint. I have a good grasp of the rules after playing for so long, and I would (obviously, with help) like to learn more about how specific rules of the server work. I’m good at taking constructive criticism and can easily admit if I’ve made a mistake from my point of view. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Admin/GM - NOM Fallout Roleplay 2020-2021 Mod - Zenith Servers 2025 No I have not Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No 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 would say I’m well known in the places that I frequent. I try to make conversation with people a lot and love meeting new people on Diverge. There are some places that I wouldn’t be too well known simply because I don’t get the chance to be around them often. I think my reputation would generally be a positive one. I always try to be fair in any interactions I have with people. I keep in mind the rules on the server and don’t have notes for random negative interactions with people. I’d like to think that most other people whom I regularly interact with look on me favourably! I’d like to use my position in staff to get to know more people and get a better idea of how the community feels on certain issues What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: There are so many great moments, it’s genuinely hard to choose. I’m a sucker for early Diverge, Made meetings in Le Grande, using my townhouse for PKs well before the forensics system and roleplaying them out to try and give the police something to do, the Cartel War, where there were so many hackers it felt like every other clip was someone accusing someone else of cheating. Obviously, I can’t forget the early political roleplay, with the honestly really interesting Weber for Mayor Campaign. Recently, however, I would have to say seeing the new PK systems and the new breadth of investigation RP has been fascinating. I will say I miss the old PK messages, for me they really helped flesh out the city. But seeing police actually be able to prosecute people for sloppy hits as opposed to the old system where it was nigh impossible unless you did it in broad daylight. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names:Calink, Jennay, Shauningt, Sexaphonegod, Peeboy, Hammer ------------------------------------------------- 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 think this one depends on the circumstances surrounding it. If I were the one being RDM’d, I couldn’t take the ticket since it would be a conflict of interest. If there was an RDM ticket and there were other staff online, currently on duty, I would wait to see if any of them were going to take the ticket. If the ticket isn’t taken in a reasonable amount of time, I would go on duty to take the RDM ticket and handle the situation. 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?:In any scenario like that, I would try to document as much of the abuse that I’ve seen as possible. Then I would take it up to whoever would deal with this (probably a Super Admin+). I’d do my best throughout the process to make sure any evidence I collect is clear and understandable. 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?:This situation constitutes a huge bias. This person is someone that I would have direct ties to, and my unconscious bias would most likely have a bearing on the decision that is made. If possible, I would ask if another staff member would be able to take the ticket. If no one else is available at that moment, I would take the ticket and do it in the most by the books way possible, only working off of clips, logs, and both players' context of the situation. I would do my best to convey my thought process in staff chat and see how other staff members would deal with the situation. ---------------------------------------------------------

“but I simply utilize it as a way to roleplay and make money” >mugs someone wearing 0 custom clothing

Name of Character: Wyatt "Motorhead" Taylor Character ID: N/A SteamID: 749501079 Your Discord ID#: Gamer0600392 Date of PK: 03/07/2026 Reason for PK: Ran from mug Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: Staff Pk'd me despite the fact I met multiple guidelines and the char who killed me was not pushing for a PK. Staff initiated a pk over self report. I'm begging and pleading that my char is returned as the guy who mugged me was banned previously for having a mug char. It does not feel fair that a char of 10 weeks and middle faction management be thrown away for nothing. It doesn't make sense from multiple points. 1. Staff initiates Pk on behalf of someone who did not request it 2. Staff awards the mug/minge char that is less than 10 days old and has previously been warned about mugging 3. The PK is initialed off of a fail mug over the fact the mugger was saying drop 5k or die 4. It's so hard to do pk's an regulate the constant mug minges but it's impossible to go it the real way and contribute honest roleplay only to be killed by a minge. Make it make sense bro. Why can muggers just kill but we can't kill muggers. 5. I did not have 5k even if I had gone along with the attempt It would have been impossible to meet demands and still would have been killed. 6. In the mugging attempt I was able to get out of sight of the individual and in 2 separate green zones have a firearm and reach the safety of more than one known friend and be in front of 2 Separate NPCs and an ATM. At what point does a mugging cease to be an an active mugging? I don't think it is valid at that point. 7. I have multiple sources informing me that if you reach a point where the individual breaks the line of site. It is no longer considered a valid mugging scenarios 8. Mugging chars and minges should not generally be used for PK's char mug character are a large problem on the server continually getting worse trading a middle faction character for a char that will likely be dead in a day or two seems genuinely unfair. 8. My character has been alive and fully dedicated to the faction in have been since my start in January over 8 real life days of character time. I have worked continually to follow rules and regulations and expanded relations between factions to thrown in the garbage of a fail mug deemed Pkable. 9. TLDR: killed by char mugger previously banned less than 10 days old for committing a fail mug pk was initialed by staff not by player I am on my hands and knees begging and pleading to the point of near tears for a second opportunity and if given such I promise to read to rules and abide by them. This is my first ever char and char death. I am willing to say what was done by me was wrong but am willing to make anything right if given a second chance. Please give a single opportunity to do right and I shall not fail. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mg5MjyA72Cm-v0biz?invite=cr-MSw3alosNTE5NDAxNjA4&v=300

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?: Yes, I'm familiar with Nutscript and have decent experience with SAM. 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?:* Due to my timezone, I'm usually on at times when there are either no staff on or a single staff member on, it's usually at this time when there is a backlog of tickets waiting to be resolved. I'd be willing to help resolve the problems that arise when the NA playerbase is offline. I also think my prior knowledge of Diverge from 2021 and previous staff experience in other servers both in GMod and other games can help bring the server to a even higher standard. Why should you be considered over other candidates?:* Every person has their own strengths and weaknesses, I personally believe I am suited for support roles, I'm patient, forthcoming and professional, but I also don't forget that at the end of the day it is a roleplay server in a videogame. I believe this is something most people don't/can't realize. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Icefuse Networks | MilitaryRP | Senior Moderator (2020) Civil Networks | DarkRP | Administrator (2019) I've also owned and managed my own competitive Minecraft network (2021-2025) Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I haven't, I have 0 bans and 0 notes. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?:* I am a returning player from 2021, most of the people who knew me back in the day is either retired or has forgotten since it's been close to 5 years. I'm slowly getting adapted to the new people and the new dynamic of the server, I would say I'm not "hated" but not the most known person on the server. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: I usually enjoy the events such as the shootout that happened in construction, the fishing event with the forklift prize. I enjoy the atmosphere and the community of Diverge. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Auxiliary, Monaclu, Winchester 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'd first check how many non-AFK staff are online, if there are none online or if everyone is AFK, I would switch to my staff character and start taking the piled up tickets including the RDM one (if I'm not one of the parties involved). 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 clip it as much as I could before opening a ticket to UA, once sufficent evidence is collected I would present all the evidence to UA in a ticket. 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, I would listen to both sides for their explanations and examine the presented evidence. If any punishment were to be given, I would hand it out to each party guilty regardless if they are in my faction or are my friend.

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?: I'd say so. Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes. ------------------------------------------------- Long Answers What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I first joined Diverge Networks in 2023, and since then, have grown to really love this server and community. In my opinion, the staff team could always use some help trying to tame the chaos on the server. By becoming staff, I hope to lighten the work load for UA and other staff. Lastly, I really enjoyed my time as staff, it brought me great satisfaction helping those in need. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: My previous experience staffing, coupled with my lust for roleplay, makes me a strong addition to the staff team. As far as I know, during my time as staff, not 1 staff report was made on me, which I think reflects maturity and reliability. I never lose my temper because I understand that the players on this server need a gentle, yet firm hand to enforce the rules. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I was staff on Diverge Networks for about a year and a half. I was a Seasoned Admin. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: In early 2024 I think I got a note for prop abuse. I was banned in 2023 for LTARP or something. 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 I have a good reputation on Diverge. A lot of people know me or at least know of me, as I run the biggest and best faction on the server. Not many people dislike me, but the ones that do are usually foreigners. I have good relations with basically everyone and all factions, except for Philip DeCavalcante. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: When Pendred let me rebrand my faction into an Italian-American Crime Family. That was the best day of my life. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: The Great State of Israel ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I would ask in staff chat if someone could assist. If someone has already made a ticket on the situation, I would provide the staff member who took with any clips or insight I had on the matter. If no staff were on and the matter doesn't directly involve me, I would take the ticket. 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 compile any proof I had and present it to UA. 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?: If I was aware that a person in my faction was involved, I would ask that another staff member could take it. If another staff member isn't online or is otherwise preoccupied, only then would I claim the ticket. First, I would ask for proof and context pertaining to the matter. If I found that the member of my faction broke the rules, I would check their previous notes/bans and punish them accordingly. ---------------------------------------------------------

Name of Character: Billy "Badass" Bada Character ID:idk SteamID:STEAM_0:0:631329101 Your Discord ID#:nifheim Date of PK:2/26/26 Reason for PK: I snitched on a civilian lawyer in a court ticket for holiday Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?:The entire thing was voided by boomroasted in a UA ticket with mickey mandate. Me saying it was perjury got voided If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines:

I think the server could greatly improve immersion by expanding the available roleplay animations. Instead of needing to create entirely new animations from scratch, it might be worth looking into pulling animation data from frameworks like Clockwork HL2RP or similar Source RP schemas that already have large animation libraries built out. A lot of these frameworks already support things like: Smoking animations. Wall leaning. Notebook writing. Radio use. Searching/patdowns. Injured idles. Sitting variations. Hand interactions. (handover/receive) Investigation poses. Since these already exist within the Source animation sets, it may just be a matter of integrating or porting the animation tables rather than creating entirely new ones. This could save development time while still expanding RP expression. Why this would help: Right now most interactions are just characters standing still during conversations. More available animations would allow players to show emotion, status, and intent through body language instead of only text. This would especially benefit: Mafia meetings. Police investigations. Business RP. Interrogations. Street interactions. This could allow Diverge to quickly expand RP immersion without major development overhead. The goal wouldn't be feature bloat, just giving players more tools to visually roleplay and make interactions feel more alive. Please give your thoughts on the matter below, your opinion is valued and appreciated. Thank you.

Me looking for the goat

Allow for us to "ctrl f" inside our banks, for example, you can search hat and it will highlight all the items that have the word hat in its name This would make looking though banks that have lots of items with the same model such as clothing or oil/meth/acid much easier

What is your motivation/reason for applying?: As a original player from the birth of the server, Id like to return to staff to continue providing help alongside the current staff. I now have more time to dedicate to the server and help all players new and old with their situations. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I'm always fair, I will take an outside perspective of all situations and show 0 bias to those who I like and those I dislike. I'm active during the UK hours when less staff are available. I'm more than competent enough to be back to the staff duties I had previously done (With a little help on some refreshing) Do you have any previous staffing experience?

I get on with everyone and have no problems with anybody. I've also been High Command in multiple factions. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Weber Assassination (Was too funny) and our recent Wright Wedding (Everyone was chill and we had a very loud joint celebration afterwards) Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Fox, calink, Yugi 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 would clip it, ask another staff member to assess the situation and let him make his own decision of the situation. 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 report them to a member of staff above their position. 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 ask another staff member to take the ticket, not because I would be bias but because the person the ticket is made against may believe the decision could be bias and unfair. --------------------------------------------------------- Please understand that once a staff application is posted you are open to receiving either negative or positive critique from the community as well as staff. Your consistent activity on the server will also be monitored and applications can remain open for weeks before any sort of decision is made on them.

Rather than enforcing FearRP through strict mechanics, another approach could be adding passive stress prompts that gently encourage more realistic character reactions without actually forcing players to act a certain way. The idea would be simple: small immersive text appearing after intense situations to help players naturally carry their character’s emotional state forward instead of just moving on like nothing happened. Example Prompts: After a gunfight: "Your hands are still shaking from the adrenaline." After being arrested: "Your heart hasn't quite slowed down from what just happened." After being badly injured: "A sharp pain hits your side whenever you move too quickly." After witnessing violence: "What you just saw keeps replaying in your mind." This wouldn’t force actions, apply debuffs, or take away player freedom in any way. The goal would simply be to provide small reminders that help encourage more believable reactions and maintain emotional continuity during roleplay. Why this could improve RP: A system like this could naturally encourage stronger roleplay habits instead of relying purely on rules or staff intervention. It could also help newer players understand reaction-based RP by subtly showing how characters might realistically respond to stressful situations. Features like this can add a layer of psychological realism while still keeping the experience enjoyable and player-driven. The focus would be immersion, not control. Possible implementation: This could be triggered through simple checks like recently taking heavy damage, being arrested, being near violent activity, or dropping to low health. A cooldown system could also prevent messages from appearing too often so they stay immersive instead of feeling repetitive or intrusive. Overall, the idea would be to enhance atmosphere and roleplay depth without restricting how players choose to play their characters.. I think it would personally be a good addition. Thank you for reading, as always please provide your input and opinions below, as they are valued.

Your Character or Steam Name: Hans Hunnebun / Hans De Leon Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:628592126 Your Discord ID#: crispytacos0438 Reason for ban: Mugging Char | Extensive PO's | NITRP Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? Hello, I would like to start this ban appeal off with my perspective of my roleplay. As far as I have been informed by both the banning staff member and other individuals I have spoken to, the behavior that led to my ban were my statements within the underground advertisement and my issues with mugging. To address my underground advertisement behavior, all I can simply state is that the words said in underground advertisement's do not reflect my character's roleplay. I am man enough to admit that the things I say in the underground advertisements are REALLY, REALLY stupid. Many times, I post before I think about what I really say and, if unbanned, I can promise to improve upon that. Secondly, in accordance to my previous offenses and my "mugging character", my previous permanent ban (unbanned in January 2026) was due to a PD raid, which I apologized deeply for and realize what an idiotic mistake it was. Upon being banned, the individual who banned me claimed that I was "excessively mugging", and also pointed out that in my previous ban appeal, I promised not to mug. In my ban appeal, I stated that I would stop minging, harrassing people, and mugging people. While I can admit that I have mugged while unbanned, I have gone through a great effort to dial back my muggings, along with ensuring that all muggings adhere to all roleplay standards. I would also like to mention that this was all on my main character I've had for years and have followed all the mugging rules to a tea. It is also important to mention that this character has a lot of value, discrediting the idea that I am a mugging character. Subsequently, as mentioned, I have greatly improved my roleplay standards since my previous ban. In my current faction, I have not only created several roleplay situations with friends and other individuals, but I have greatly enhanced my presence in my faction through recruitment. Provided below are several pieces of evidence that show my roleplay since my ban appeal. I am positive that after being given a second chance, I have made much more of a positive impact than a negative impact on both my faction, and Diverge Networks overall. I acknowledge that I have been given a second chance and I understand that my unban may be unlikely, but I would just like to say again that I feel I provide a great amount of roleplay not only to my faction, but to the server overall and that I simply just want one more chance to prove that to the administration of Diverge. Thank you for considering my appeal. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): Some clips of me roleplaying very recently with friends and proof I actually provide roleplay to the server. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mhOyYr5pESr8oA0si?invite=cr-MSx0c0gsMTk3ODk5MjU1&v=43 https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mhOoPpZ4w1gP35B2E?invite=cr-MSwxdmQsMTk3ODk5MjU1&v=56

I understand from Calinks perspective on the reason of the ban being permanent, understandable reaction due to Canadians terms But can we clarify what a mugging character is before continuing shitposting this thread? We need to stop bending/changing the rules to appease to our complaints to back our unwritten rules. It is just setting people up for failure, as a community it seems we're all mad as shit someones mugging? then take it out of the server ffs. lets play Kumbaya rp. its unnecessary to deem one person a mugging character (in which was his MAIN character) but since he doesnt qualify as a mass mugger either, I'm extra lost. You may mug one person / singular group of people every 15 minutes. Mugging again immediately, before allowing the timer to expire will be considered Mass Mugging. Realistically you must lay low after mugging someone. Mass mugging in order to to PK people, or 'PK hunting' / being 'PK hungry' is not permitted. If an Admin feels like you're doing things intentionally for no regard for actual roleplay they may deny your PK requests issue according punishments There are other instances where killing someone during a mugging will not result in a PK. - Such as not giving the person reasonable time to react to your demands - Ordering them to use certain game functions they don't have to comply with or making unreasonable demands (Drop items/cash, hit f7, give me your f3, commit suicide, etc) - If you disengage fear rp and they attempt to flee or fight back - You fail to specify that they are being mugged/fail to properly initiate a mugging - A fail mug location or mass mugging However it does say that PK baiting is against the rules in #2 on the list. Mass mugging does not apply to this situation, nor does mugging character. The cause of this should've been from the initial effortless mugging that could have been instead of "put your hands up" - been one of the 2 mugging the guy to restrain them. However a perma for this seems a little steep. The mugging rules need some more clarification, and I cant stress enough the 2 bans I have on record for racket abuse and how Canadian/Pendred had changed the rules to further clarify the rule (which had ultimately helped lots of others understand the rule further.) Idk man, just seems like we all don't like Hans because he's mugged you or someone you don't like. I see alot of angry little dwarves in here who've got their feelings hurt and honestly the fact some of us take this game so serious to the point where we are attempting to exile a player for a rule that isn't even in the rules btw, is kinda fucking pathetic. Mugging character has never been clarified. How can a character thats been around longer than most of the characters he's pked be considered a mugging character? I also would like to note that it isn't unusual that I've seen one solid video of a fuck up, and I've seen plenty of other clean videos. I don't really even know what we are talking about at this point. -1 +1 #freetheniggahanshunnebun ah-shit-here-we-go-again.mp4

Nb2x95 76561199802104472 892499216662925343 AMRDM | Failed Corruption 14 Days So me and my colleague Mike Stevens received disciplinary strikes from corporal yuna nong. This was my third one which sent me down to probationary for 3 weeks, then I was getting chased from other officers to put on a probationary vest which then I proceeded to fire shots in the air to make them back off, I was then arrested and charged when I was in the cells my colleague Mike Stevens (blobbis22) came into the cells and I told him he should uncuff me and we should take the lawyer hostage as a rp scenario I then asked multiple people if I’d get banned for this even a moderator (Crimson) and they all said no and we would probably just get pked which was fine with us so we carried out with our rp mike even said in chat if they open the door we would kill the hostage and then the officers opened the door and opened fire I would provide the necessary clip but I’m at work currently however after they opened fire we both returned fire but ultimately were overpowered and then when we were in pd basement after respawning they all ran down and arrested us and we were both handed 105 year sentences and we ultimately accepted them resulting the pk of our characters, We were completely fine with this and I ended up going to bed and waking up to see I was banned for 2 weeks. Now at first I wasn’t even going to appeal it because I was pissed off but then I checked the rules and couldn’t find anything that stated that I had broken the rules, moderators if you choose to keep me banned that’s fine but all I ask is that you atleast shorten it by a week or a little longer because I cannot possibly play Ark, Batman Arkham Knight, and arc raiders for 2 weeks straight, and I need to be able to pay my faction the weekly tab, thank you. (If this ticket is still open when I get home and people are asking for the clip I will post it)

In-Game Name(s): Vincent Merlino, Senior Officer Lopello Sharoni, Dr. Jonathan Bouncewell Steam Name: choirboys17 Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197968203741/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:3969006 Discord Username: choirboys Age: 17 When did you first join the server: Around May 12th 2023 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 1m 2w 9h 38m Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: Around 6 hours a day, longer on weekends. 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 I am open to learning! 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?: I would like to apply because I have come to really enjoy the community on this server. I also usually have lots of spare time in-between doing things on my characters. I would really like to help out because when I am on sometimes tickets do not get taken for a while, especially later at night when a lot of issues happen. I am also interested in doing staff work because I have heard good things from my friends that are current or former staff members. All in all, I just really want to help people out and make sure everyone is having a good time. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I think I should be considered over other candidates because of my activity on the server and how long I have been around. Like I mentioned before I am usually on all day on weekdays and even longer on weekends, so I would like to do something productive and helpful to other members of the server during that time overlap. I also really just want to help when no other staff are around or just not taking tickets. I also hope I can learn fast and take tickets as much as possible. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I do not have any experience in other servers. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, I have been banned 3 times in the past, the most recent was a Prop Abuse and NITRP ban for 3 days on 12/6/26 by Alamara555. At that time, I was thinking on quitting the server and not coming back, but during the ban I rekindled some relationships with people who play and eventually came back to playing full time. I regret doing it because it is a pointless stain on my record. The ban before that was on 7/22/25 for 12 hours, NITRP, Minge, and Cop Bait by Dr.Hax. I received the ban on a former oil character of mine named Johnny Ballbouncer, I was hanging out with a group of friends and was in the passenger seat of a vehicle that was constantly baiting cops and just causing tons of issues. I learned to be more considerate to the other players who don't find this type of thing funny and learned to be more serious overall. My ban I received longest ago was on 3/31/25 for Mass VDM by Actual Sauerkraut for a day. This ban was definitely one of the worst ones on my record. This ban took place shortly after I got pked from my first faction after coming back from not playing for two years, was still pretty fresh and just acting dumb in general. I believe I have 3 notes, but I do not remember what for. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I do not think I am that well known, some people may know me for my cop char or my former oil char Johnny Ballbouncer. I feel like my time spent on that char may ruin my reputation a bit, but I have tightened up my act since then. I hope that I can get a chance to become more known and liked in the community. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: I loved participating in the racket events of '89 and '90. I also enjoyed watching the Commission vs UA war. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Boosted, 21schmeckles, Lunar, Yugi. ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: If they aren't in my faction, I will clip it and take the ticket and hand out the punishment as necessary. If they are a part of my faction, I would avoid the ticket in general as bias could be suspected and ask another staff member to try to deal with it. 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 gather evidence and clips and make 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 take the ticket because no matter if it is a member of my faction or not, rdming or any other kinds of acts that break the rules should be punished no matter what and dealt with accordingly without bias.

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?: I am motivated to provide a better environment for the server. I know there are already many staff members who do this already, but another set of hands to help never hurts. I truly enjoy the nature of the role play on the server, and I want to help preserve it by being able to enforce the rules in a larger capacity. I am also motivated to help guide new players when they have questions, concerns, or issues with the server. I often feel as if newer players are overlooked, and I want to help change that. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I believe that I should be picked over other applicants because of my ability to stay calm, collected, and unbiased. I am equipped and mature enough to handle situations in a professional manner. I think that I can fairly staff the server and provide help and support to the playerbase. Do you have any previous staffing experience?: I staffed Icefuse SWRP for about a month as a moderator. ( Was awhile ago ) Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I am pretty well known in game. My character Jarvis Reginald is pretty recognizable to a lot of people. Also my other name Bernie Gernie. I would say that I built a pretty good reputation within my faction and other allied factions. A lot of other community members are pretty fond of me, and I have made a lot of friends in the community. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: So far, my favorite moment has been the racket war event. The PvP was a ton of fun, and I was really engaged working with my faction. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: joeeeey1 and peeboy. ------------------------------------------------- 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?: Clip the incident, and report it to another staff member. If no staff members are available in game, I would make a forum report. 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?: Clip and save all of the evidence, make a staff report, and wait for UA to handle the situation. If the abuse was more severe, I would report it directly to a UA member through a ticket or DMs. 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 proceed completely unbiased and would make decisions based on the evidence provided. I would not let the accused player off without a warning / punishment just because they are my friend.

this is so smart, you’re a visionary.

In converting the Casino into, lets say 4 office spaces, you'll create the following productive RP situations: - You'll expand LegalRP to have a place on the map, which means; - More IC RP taking place in the city, which means; - There will be an increased player count in the city. - The city will rake in more money from property, which means; - Expanded Budgets for NYPD and Public Defenders/District Attorneys Offices - It'll flourish that side of town which currently is underserved with RP. - Player-owned Casinos [Kwik Kash Kasino, Lucky Lady, etc.] would have more of a monopoly, which means; - Players needing to scratch that itch would be forced into player interactions, which means; - The city would experience more RP as a result. - Casino Tables that are in the current Casino building could be moved into the properties of the player owned casinos, much like how Lucky Lady has it currently. This seems like a small adjustment to the map that would bring so much needed RP, especially after the destruction of World Corp. Pendred: That'll exceed the current budget of the map's textures or whatever Us: Just deleted that stupid little shadow realm dimension that is accessible only from a small prop on the roofs. Or even the GOVERNORS MANSION.

Can we make it so we can choose what order our medals/pins show up in to other players, sort of like the inspect mechanic but instead we can inspect and arrange the order of them if we have multiple on

Let me just say this straight up! Racket event is the best time in the city. Period. For anyone confused on what a racket even is, it is the drug your faction unlocks and shares across your whole family. That is months of work sometimes. You start at garbage tier like qualuades, then move up to lsd, then meth, then heroin, then weed, and coke sitting at the top. That climb is the grind. That is the reward. When the racket event hits, it is not random chaos. It is factions fighting for progression. It is organization, numbers, strategy, loyalty. It is one of the only times the entire server feels alive at once. And that is exactly why PD involvement needs structure. First point, PKs Permanent kills during a racket event should be extremely controlled. If you kill a cop on ground level and that same cop gets you back in the same engagement, fine. That makes sense. That is direct action, direct consequence. What does not make sense is rooftop overwatch turning the event into a shooting gallery. We should not have Deacon Whitestone playing American Sniper from a building three blocks away wiping entire pushes. That is not RP. That is not balanced. That is not what the event is about. There should also be off limits zones for PD during racket events. for example Tunnels. Sewers. Certain interior locations on private properties. These areas should be faction war space. Let us fight each other. That is the whole point. Second point, felony charges I get it. Cops love their felons. They love stacking charges. They love the paperwork RP. Cool. You have 300 plus days out of the year to do that. Racket event lasts three days. Three. For those three days, felonies should be suspended or heavily limited. The amount of work the staff team puts into organizing this event is insane. The RP setups, the planned hits, the coordination. Just for it to get nullified because someone got hit with five felonies and sat in a cell while their whole faction fights. That kills momentum. It kills morale. It kills the event. This is not about removing PD completely. This is about understanding that the event is bigger than normal patrol gameplay. Let the factions cook. Third point, jail time scaling Nobody should be sitting for 49 minutes in the middle of a once in a blue moon racket war. That is absurd. Cap it. Tier 1 five minutes Lower level crimes. Failure to comply. Simple possession of a firearm with no discharge. Technical felon in possession with no violence. Tier 2 ten minutes Discharging a weapon. Failure to comply while armed. More aggressive behavior but no confirmed kills. Tier 3 fifteen minutes Actual killings in city. Heavy drug possession during the event. Extra weapon attachments. The worst of the worst during the three day window. Fifteen minutes max. In RP that is fifteen years. That is enough. The goal is not to make crime free paradise. The goal is to keep the event flowing. If someone gets grabbed, they do short time and get back to their faction. The war continues. The grind continues. Racket event is about progression. It is about factions earning better product. It is about activity and numbers and pride. Do not let over policing turn the best event on the server into a jail simulator. Let the people who grind enjoy the event. Just ideas btw, dont kill me.
