In-Game Name(s): Kazuraki Akiyama, Matteo Romano Steam Name: Jmoorsey Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198814854107/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:427294189 Discord Username: Jmoorsey Age: 15 When did you first join the server: Aug. Of last year. Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 45 days, 15 hours, 38 minutes Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 3-4 hours everyday, or every other 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?: Yes. 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 want to start fresh on diverge by making a staff application, to show im trying my best to turn a new leaf. I think I could genuinely make diverge a better place by moderating. Becoming staff is my #1 goal on Diverge Networks, I feel as if becoming a staff member in the diverge community is the only real way to sort of "redeem" myself for all my past transgressions, atoning in a way. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I think my motivation is unlike any others, the ammount of effort I have tried putting into Diverge to keep myself from getting banned or warned is immense, if I am being honest, these past 3 months of me not getting banned has been the best diverge exerience ive had. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Not on diverge networks, i do faintly remember moderating a small DarkRP server that shut down early last year. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Unfortunately, yes. You can find my entire ban list at: https://bans.divergenet.works/?player=STEAM_0:1:427294189 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 yes, I am known in the Diverge community, but not necessarily in a good way, from my perspective, I have a mostly negitive reputation due to me taking a lot of things lightly, or non-seriously. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: I once preformed a PK in a faction, where we were leading a guy into a hotel room. As soon as he opened the bathroom door to the room, my fellow faction member (Jxy3) opened fire on the person we were PK'ing, missing about two mags with a Colt M45 SOC, and being saved by Plixily. (Miss you Plixily) Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Previous staff member Lomac. ------------------------------------------------- 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 im not busy, I will get on duty and take any tickets made, if i happen to be doing something in the current moment, i will finish up whatever i would be doing, and take any tickets that have been made. 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?: If i KNOW its abuse, i will either make a staff report, or speak to Rem, or higher moderation to confirm that the actions made by the said staff member were considered abuse, I would then let UA take care of the situation. 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 the evidence provided against my friend / faction member was obviously against the rules, i would proceed with the staff sit like any other staff member would, proceeding to ban / warn them accordingly. --------------------------------------------------------- Note: This is not a joke application, please give honest opinions in replies.

The Hi-Fi's are a jukebox like technology that play music when prompted. These Hi-Fi systems really set the mood and create the perfect vibe to match the style and image of a business or individual. Picture this: an Italian restaurant playing Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin to create that classic, old-school atmosphere. And in some urban areas, you might find places rocking the songs of Eazy-E or 2Pac for a more modern feel. As an already great technology, I think it can be better with a few additions... Playlists: - Playlists help organize music into a singular category. In the server, I help run the Trattoria (Italian restaurant on Little Italy). When playing music, I look for Italian songs, or something that matches. Having to remember each song can be a hassle for me, and others. A good playlist could go a long way with the memorization and help with choosing songs to match a vibe. Autoplay: - This idea would piggy back off the playlist idea. When a playlist is made, there would be an autoplay feature that plays music when there is nobody around to queue music. This can be toggled on/off and can either have a timer of 30 minutes to 1 hour, or just end when all the songs have played. (I think a shuffle playlist feature could also compliment well with the autoplay/playlist idea.) I think this could be a QoL addition!

Despite only ever seeing this guy as a minge, he's recently changed for the better. I've been noticing a lot more positive RP interactions, and a lot less staff sits involving him. Biggest turn around of the year, and I believe he deserves a chance to prove his major increase in maturity here, too. +1

FUCK JMOORSEY I PKED HIM TODAY MINGE IDIOT +1 Eh... He's alright guy... App is decent, MAYBE possibly he'll be a good staff

As much of a minge that he once was I got to agree with flamingo. Yes he gets pk most than anyone else for the stupidest reasons. But he does rp better than most others as well. There is no doubt he has changed from his old ways. His activity in the city is higher than most other staff members so I believe he will be doing tickets and hopefully getting people unstuck from dupes. +1

Your Character or Steam Name: / Char: Muhammed Bali / Steam: Daddy-skulls / Your SteamID: 76571198359163140 Your Discord ID#: monkey1671 Reason for ban: VDM with 6 PO's Length of ban: 2 weeks / 14 days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): apology Why should you be unbanned? so i thought if someone is warning you while brandishing a firearm i can kill them in "Self Defense" even if there weapon is on safety. i saw people in the past doing the same thing to other people and i also fell victim to a similar incident assuming that it was ok. i understand i have a record for VDM but I'm not always VDMing people. i have read the rules after the ban i understand that what i did was wrong. i want to make the Mafia RP community a fun and positive environment. i admit i used to be a Ming but i have changed. I'm sorry for my actions.

In-Game Name(s): Mariano "M" Avila, Senior Officer John McGee Steam Name: Zqrxz Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197974773289/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:7253780 Discord Username: Zqrxz Age: 19 When did you first join the server: May 19th Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2 weeks 4 hours Time Zone: CST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 4-8 hours depending on the day Have you read the rules?: Yes Do you have a working microphone?: Yes Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Yes Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: No but 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 5 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: My motivation comes from my experience being staff on other servers and the enjoyment that this server brings to me. I see a lot of times when certain things don't get handled due to staff members not being on and due to my very open schedule currently I have a lot of time to spend on the server. People breaking rules and not following the guidelines of the server at least for me ruins the experience of playing what is supposed to be a serious RP server. I also want to help keep the server up to the standard that people expect upon joining for the first time. I've also met many staff members and spoken to them about staffing, and it seems very interesting to me especially cause it's a lot different than the other servers I've played and staffed on. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I bring to the table a lot of staff experience from other servers. I have spent the last 2 years staffing for different servers on GMOD and have learned a lot about what is expected of a staff member. Many people come into staff using it for a power trip or some kind of status whereas my motivation is solely the betterment of the server as a whole. I'm also a very non biased person regardless of who is in the situation whether it be my friend or someone I dislike I will treat them no differently than how they should be treated in the situation. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Paragon MRP Manager for around 1 month and also Senior Admin for a few months, Also Garnet MRP Admin for I believe over a year. 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 have definitely gotten to know a lot of higher-ranking people across factions and staff, and I would say that my reputation is pretty good, and that people would definitely say the same about me. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: My favorite moment would have to be the addition of Little Italy and having a sort of family feeling all protecting each other and getting to know each other throughout the last few days since map release. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Adam/Char ------------------------------------------------- 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 ask if any other staff were available to handle it as me taking the sit as me taking them to a sit myself could be seen as a "taking your own sit" kind of situation and could potentially look bad on me and cause problems. If no other staff are around, I would take the person to a sit myself and speak to them regarding the situation before making a decision on punishment. 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 take as much evidence of the situation as I can and then take that proof and explain what I've seen to the correct staff members that can handle the situation properly. 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 allow someone else to take the sit as it could look biased to others if I were to take the sit. If no one is around to take it, I would take the sit and conduct myself as I would with anyone else. Gather evidence if provided and decide on punishment from there. ---------------------------------------------------------

+1 kicked you from the polish discord a few times but from what I've heard you're not as big of a minge as you used to be and can be pretty chill.

I used to play MRP before this, standup guy and good staff member. I've never had/seen an issue with him and he always remained respectful in any type of situation. I've also seen him on this server, interacting with everyone and creating a name for himself. +1

Quick suggestion got the idea off the credit card thing when those factions were competing to change their drug racket. Currently criminals have 2 ways to generate income by conventional racket means: Gun selling and Drugs. My suggestion is to implement a 3rd racket addition such as: forged checks, counterfeit credit cards, embezzled union bonds, etc. This would work similarly to drugs except no processing and not as much profit, similar to how oil works. You would place the order for the shipment at a pay phone rather than your typical criminal racket npc. Once you collect the shipment you gotta trade or sell it via rumour to have the other person sell it to an npc on the map (could use existing drug npcs.) Why add another criminal way of making money? 1. Way more mafia 2. More crimes for police to go after rather than guns, violence, or drugs. 3. More grinding shipments for the don

So, I'll keep it brief, you used to get knocked out at critically low hp even by gun, I propose the return of being knocked out by fists, bats, hammers and all other blunt items The reasons speak for themselves, boxing rp which is picking up and beatings, dont know how doable this is after the changes being made but I feel like its more than plausible. Edit* After seeing Canadians response regarding the old systems poor optimisation causing lag, I'd suggest that blunt weapons and fists force a /fallover after crossing a certain damage threshold

Steam Name: Marlock In-Game Name(s): Darrelle "Big Dick" Dickson, Donnie Alonzo, and Kenny Cooper Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/MarlockTheGreat/ Steam ID:76561198064436475 Discord Username: Marlock. Age:27 When did you first join the server? June 2023. Total playtime on our servers (do!time in-game): 2W 7D 13H Time Zone: Eastern Time How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating? 4-5 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): Understood Are you familiar with SAM and/or Nutscript commands? Yes 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 five sentences minimum. What is your motivation or reason for applying? After almost a year of playing on the server, I believe I have what it takes to be a quality staff member in the community. I have past experience being staff on multiple Garrys Mod servers, and I was very good at being efficient in moderating servers. My approach is always fair, and I always follow the server's rules and guidelines. My motivation is to promote immersion and to promise a fun experience to the fellow players of Diverge Networks. Why should you be considered over other candidates? I am a bit older than most of the community, and I will bring a more mature approach to all issues regarding the server. I would consider myself fair and non-biased towards all tickets being submitted to me. This will be taken very seriously, and my goal is to help and improve the community's gameplay and overall experience for the players within the community. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position, and how long.) Yes, I was an admin on superior servers (StarwarsRP) for over 2 years with no issues. I put together server events and handled most of the ban tickets in a mature and professional manner. I have been in the Garrys mod community since 2009. 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? Yes, I would consider myself a well-respected member of the community. I was a high command in two factions within the server, and I believe the community would tell you I did a good job at that. I'm calm and pretty mellow, and I never let my emotions get in the way of my decision-making. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far? My favorite moment would be when we did the July 4th event. We all had a big battle with muskets and swords, which was pretty fun. I would like to put together more server events like that. It brings the community together and raises the player count. I also very much enjoyed all the court cases I oversaw. The court system does a good job at making the overall court experience as realistic as possible, and I respect that. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: N/A ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Detail, step by step, exactly the actions you would take. Someone RDMs, and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this? I would contact another staff member on duty in DM's; if they are not available, I would quickly switch to my staff character and handle the situation the best I could. If it is a situation that needs to be handled by a higher-ranking staff member, I will take multiple notes on the situation and report it to a higher-ranking staff member as soon as possible. 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 or take pictures of them in the act and bring it up with a higher-ranking staff member and see how they wanted to handle the situation. Gathering valid evidence is very important when it comes to problems like this, and I will do my best to make sure everything is completely valid and fair. A member of your faction or a 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 a possible bias? I would request that the first party send me any kind of proof they can. All the rules apply to everyone. You will never see me have a biased approach to any situation within the server. Taking down all the proper evidence and lining it up with the server rules and guidelines will always be my main goal.

Homie right here +1 Bro knows what hes doing, mature ash

Hello, PKing admin here so you were PKed for Dons orders for disrespect. Whenever you join a faction there is a box of text that you agree to stating that you can die for really any reason besides a few stipulations. The reason that was given was the same for many other dons order PK before. You died as a result of dons orders and you agreed to the terms and conditions when you first joined the faction.

Your Name: Kash SteamID: STEAM_0:0:120251557 Staff Member involved: Idfk What flags were blacklisted from you?: PET Reason for blacklist (if given): Apparently I killed people with props but this is blasphemy I'd never kill anyone with props on garry's mod mafia rp Why should they be returned?: I didn't do shit and I need my props to continue my public influencing career

This guy helped me like 8 months ago when I was starting out on diverge, and set me up. Hes a good guy and nice fellah. +1

actually insane ^

Use to play MRP with him as well really great guy, has always shown maturity and would be a great fit +1

I know Bacon-Canadian and Pendred spoke about it a bit, there are also multiple people who played diverge much longer than I who claim it used to be a thing. With the release of a bigger new map, newer factions coming, and pendred maybe finding a way to increase the server population (idk I just saw him say something about entities and trying to lower them)- I feel like it would be a good time to release attachment rackets to increase faction revenue, player interaction/rp, assist in a certain power dynamics between the illegal factions, and help the factions with activity that don’t have gun rackets. They could also have serial numbers(for muzzles) on them, so they could be filed down, sold illegally, and police investigative rp can take place aswell- or sold legally but they must be recorded like gun store sales. it would also help more with taking from the economy and more into the governmental budget as the attachment stamps for gun licences can hold more meaning and power such as different tiers, and how many attachment's someone can carry/transport.

1. Illegal bank system separate to atm that cant be easily accessed and has to be upgraded for more space overtime. 2. Side mission system where you have to do something or turn in a illegal product for a random reward that may or may not be valuable (this could lead to better missions for better rewards) (this could be good for those rich guys that want to get their hands on weapons that are practically non existent) 3. drugs revamped to actually make you high so people could enjoy what visual effects those drugs offer.. i mean if people were tripping off lsd they would act it as well haha ----------------------- for #1 - This could be great for people who want a more rp situational illegal way of storing there stuff. This should be expensive to do but be worth in the long run. Might open a path to new npc's around the map for #2 - In truth this would give people other options of what they do with their drugs, like trading they could be rewarded either like a gamble for good or bad items or to earn rep from turning in enough that reaching a high enough rep could unlock new trades. for #3 - Drugs are kinda boring in this game, they could really make people want them more adding visual effects making players wanna catch them like pokemon cards to see what high they can get, on the flip side of the coin is in the real world mafia you would get wacked for doing so because they didn't want junkies running around in suits.

As I explained in the ticket you had made extortion is near impossible as it would be silly for non associated civilians to have the ability to extort made men of a criminal organization. If you tried to extort them they would simply PK you (at their own risk). If you want to extort or handle conflicts between groups join an existing faction and become affiliated.

Banning admin here. I was involved with you in two separate sits. in the first sit i informed you that the next time you did something similar to this there would be punishment and i had given u the benefit of the doubt because this isn't the first nor second nor third time uve been noted/banned for RDM. In the clip you provided he only punched the man once, you gave him one singular warning and were already in the act of scrolling through your inventory to pull out a gun and shoot him with it, not even pointing the gun at him before giving him the warning just flat out executing him after saying "out" once. in this clip https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/i6kv3L8xgqm1cXJNJ/d1337WlRTzqm?invite=cr-MSxH you executed what i presume was your friend for breaking a window, no warning no pulling out a firearm on him and warning him not to do it again, just straight up executing him. You also have RDM and VDM notes from just yesterday so there's just not really much else to say here

Can't say I've ever interacted with you but everyone deserves a chance. +1

+1 Short but good

IDEA: FORGED CREDIT CARDS THAT CAN ONLY BE USED AT HOT DOG VENDORS

-1 Bro String did not die outside of the Imperial for this shit.

-1 ah hell nah string didnt die for this shit!!!

+1 all sigma's in this shit, Karabakh is Armenia fr.

The core issue with this idea, as it's been suggested and explored in the past. Is that the server at full population has high car despawn times, making anything other than an active carjackings effectively impossible, as well just balance issues. Like you mentioned, simply spawning a car to scrap it, unnecessary penalization of car owners, periods with zero police on or even just having friends spawn their cars to then scrap and abuse for cash. Just not a super feasible thing to implement imo.

Yo why is this not a thing already, makes everything way faster and maybe limit it to 2 or 3 so not overpower. This should happen because makes sense irl.

+1 let little bro join staff, very mingy but eh roleplayer

I prithee, good sirs, temper thy tongues with more gentle discourse. Methinks this ribaldry hath far surpassed the bounds of fair play. Let us not forget, 'tis but a mere game we doth call Garry's Mod!

Marking my post as dumb somewhat makes my point. I don't know you well aside from our game encounters and discord nor do I have anything against you. You seem to already have a lot of support behind you. Even if you don't currently have my support. What I had hope is that you reflected on what I said in my post and took it as feedback. If you don't have the maturity to understand other people's viewpoint of you and just see them as thinking of you in a negative way, how are you going to resolve situations where you're in charge and have the power to punish people. You're going to deal with many different people and of many different ages. Some will be older, and some will be younger than you. A kid on a video game is gonna react the way they want regardless if they are in the right or wrong. If someone acts childish towards you, how are you as a member of the staff team going to react to that? These are the things you're going have to deal with and think about.

-1 You're a bozo

Maybe with boxing gloves forcing a /fallover Otherwise useless old system wasnt adding any additional rp and was intensive on performance.

Get gud with aiming, y'all just don't like it because when the battle in 3rd person had zero recoil when you moved. Y'all just gotta work on that aim lmao

I HATE THE PVP UPDATE, ADD THIRD PERSON SHOOTING BACK

Your Character or Steam Name: Marzii Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:580883479 Your Discord ID#: 9aiden. Reason for ban: Cheating Length of ban: Perma Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? I downloaded the cheats i got to be used on other servers to fuck around on. I then made a stupid decision and decided to use them on Diverge along some friends and I didn’t think I would get caught or exposed for using them. If you want me to be genuine with you, i didn’t abuse the cheats like aimbot people or use the ESP to target players I didn’t like. I simply just used them in a fun way and fucked around with some people by telling them their name acting like I knew them. I knew the guy was recording us using the cheats but i didn’t believe that he would expose me for them until the night he did. I didn’t use cheats the whole time i only used them for like the first couple of days and then I didn’t use them anymore since I wasn’t going to go bat shit crazy with them or anything and I already had my fun with them. I’ve played this server for a while and i should’ve known better than to download cheats. I am sorry If i do get unbanned then i will promise to not use the cheats and play like a regular player Additional Information (images, videos, etc):

you'd be breaking your legs on the curbs you fat bitch

no

I dont know why you're piping in, at your height a 2 foot drop is deadly

I would personally adore this change as someone who regularly holds boxing events.

stupid monkey

There should be a threshold for fall damage breaking your legs. Like, maybe if you take half your health to fall damage it just breaks you legs. People just kinda parkour in chases willy nilly. Lets add some risk to those jumps!

Stop please

Why?
