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

NAME OF FACTION: Sindicato Chão Pardo (Chao Pardo Syndicate) NUMBER OF MEMBERS: 22 (20~ interested) TYPE OF FAMILY: Crime Family ETHNIC BACKGROUND: Portuguese NAME OF FACTION HEAD'S CHARACTER: Alvaro de Magalhães YOUR DISCORD & STEAM ID: Discord: 419thegreat SteamID: 76561198982078119 YOUR SERVER PLAYTIME: 4d 10h 23m w/ years of leadership experience in other mob/organised crime RP communities within Gmod mafia RP servers back in 2021/22 as well as FiveM & more less relevant games/communites. DO YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO ALL FACTION RULES AS DETAILED ON THE SERVER RULES PAGE?: Yes DO YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR FACTION DISCORD WILL BE OWNED BY US?: Yes PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE OF THE UNIQUE ROLEPLAY YOUR FACTION WILL BRING TO THE SERVER/WHAT TYPE OF ROLEPLAY WE CAN EXPECT FROM YOUR FACTION : We hope to create a completely different experience than the other factions. I have noticed in my time here that most faction's members are not closely bonded with one another, and instead operate on their own unless told otherwise. We hope to create an RP environment in which you feel as though this organisation is really your second family, and that you can rely on them when in need at all times. We aim to do this by making jobs within our legal and illegal rackets which must coexist in a way that will have them working together, thus creating better RP scenarios between members and customers/patrons/partners outside of the company. We look to open a gun store which will also include delivery, sporting events and more. More info regarding 'AEY Inc.' is in the Slideshow below: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1O6nJB-MfvSO6NVn9GRmxGoZrn2sXVk4DDHXDkg2VysQ/edit?usp=sharing As well as these things, there are also many ceremonies and gatherings that occur frequently. This will be explained in further detail in the examples below. PROVIDE EXAMPLES OR EVENT IDEAS TO PROMOTE ACTIVITY WITHIN YOUR FACTION AND KEEP PEOPLE INTERESTED. (REFERENCE YOUR UNIQUE RP FROM THE QUESTION ABOVE): There are many events which we attribute to our long standing Portuguese traditions and culture, the neighbourhood of Chao Pardo in particular. Some of the more frequent events will include: Patriarchal Enthronements regarding the respective family clans within the faction. This will create activity by building upon the internal politics, causing members to support different 'Elders' with claims to their Patriarchal seat financially and through intense discussions and negotiations with other powerful members within the clans. The idea of the Council of Elders within every clan ensures it's stability throughout the possible changes of power by laying a strong foundation which can be used to fall back on if a Patriarch has not yet been decided. This, in turn, helps lower ranked, newer members prove themselves by aligning themselves with a powerful Elder. When fully inducted to a clan, there are ceremonies similar to the Italian Made Men ceremonies we call 'Baptisms'. This is where they pledge their allegiance to their clan and the organisation as a whole by swearing an oath of fealty to the Cabeca. These ceremonies have been practiced in various other games that we have had experience in, and we hope to carry that over to Gmod where we believe we can thrive in the environment. Adding onto this, we are creating numerous roles within clans which increase activity by giving unique jobs to do for each person, thus creating more doors opening in regards to RP and boosting their overall enjoyment and activity within an organisation. These roles, legal and illegal, will be important to the structure, finances and growth of the organisation which is aided by the mentorship of the 'Elders' in their respective clans to help them settle into their jobs and showing them the ropes within them.

Hi, I was the staff member that pk'ed your characters. Although at first I did not see Strickland item transfer upon further investigation it appears that blatant item transfer occurred on this character as well as you can tell by the logs attached.

Hello String, After checking some evidence I've decided to remove your ban, a ban is excessive for what I saw in this clip, whilst yes you were mentioning 'Kirov Bratva' it's is not considered ooc/meta due to the name being known 'publicly' ,however you did mention how many members they had on which you clearly don't know about how many are there and who is actually in the city in icly (Unless you have all their f3s.) a note for this would've been enough. You have a PO for OOC in rumour though. If you want to talk out of character please use /looc. I do want to bring up the way how you approached the banning administrator. Whilst I can understand it could be a heat of the moment type situation, I don't think you needed to reach out towards Yumeko how you did in this type of way. She's a human being just like you and me and we're all trying our best to treat everyone fair and square without any bias. Everyone thinks a bit different around certain situations with a rule as foundation. We're all trying our best. If you feel like they're abusing their powers or have any bias against you feel free to report them. You're on thin ice, further metagaming will result in a ban Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The ban will be lifted from your account shortly. If it was deemed an invalid ban, it will also be removed from your record.

+1 another russian faction would be cool

If means bringing more aks on the streets I want none of it +1 im missing a toenail if this helps with what yall got going on here

Do you think the changes to weed were good.

Name of Character: Harry "Strickland" Hill SteamID:76561199634477157 Your Discord ID#: deeznutz6644 Date of PK:4/4/2025 Reason for PK:unknown, he specifically said that three of my chars were to be PKd and listed them by name. Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: It seems to have just been a mistake on zeus's end. the other charges were legit on the two chars listed I don't think I had done anything with Malachi "deez" goldwitz wasn't involved I don't think unless it was entirely on accident due to the new bug that came from the update where you could just pick up you other chars belongings by accident that I discovered purely by accident because I ended up with two processors on one char. Anyways my cop and Jamaican char were clean as a whistle, and Malachi I at least thought was. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k1SwwI2t3WknovOgJ?invite=cr-MSxkRVksMzMyNjc5NDg5

As Zeus posted above, that's pretty blatant item transfer. Unintentional or not, it happened, and this is the consequence. Item transfer is not allowed under any circumstance. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.

Hey man, i understand how that looked, I apologize, It was a joke, thought those where some friends of mine on another char, To my memory i was never warned about "Strict Rules" Besides only running oil for my first day. I apologize, I did not mean to start some shit if i did. But i was not explained the severity of rules

So your whole idea of bringing rp is to buy "very unique uniforms, pins, and vehicles." So, no actual intention of promoting Russian-based rp that will show how unique and different you guys are to the rest of the server. "We are right now working on expanding our knowledge to give that Russian feel to the server and making a more unique faction then most ever see." If you are only now looking into knowledge of russian rp it seems you had no intention of actually focusing on roleplay and instead rushed things because you wanted to run a faction. This just seems like a desperate attempt to power grab into the server. I understand you have been a former HC of a certain faction, whether or not that was top 3, I will not know; however, that doesn't mean you will know how to run a faction from nothing. Again just seems like a faction that doesn't know its identity and will probably change to some other nationality after 6- 8 months.

i dont know why everyone is losing their minds of arcade games its boring

while we're at it, I suggest we add this feature from minecraft where if you shift click an item while also holding the same type of item, it transfers all items of that type

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

+1 Free String he AINT DO SHIT that tweet he sent was DIGITALLY ALTERED FAKE MEDIA

Hey man. i was given the order to pk you for putting heat on the faction as well as bothering other factions antagonizing members and causing problems problems with our club jacket on and gear. your given strict rules when you sign and accept the rules you were around for about and hour and declared a threat to the faction. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k1U4dFMjcSClAJU3e?invite=cr-MSw2ZG0sMzQzNTg4NzI2

In-Game Name(s): Senior Officer Russel McCleen, Babby "silly goose" batista (AKA gay taxi, Fagxi, Gay Cabbie, F*ggot), Hiro "old boy" Jiro, Randy "Grilled Cheese" downs Steam Name:MRnoobslayer14 Steam Profile Link: Steam ID: 76561198349264122 Discord Username: Age: 26 When did you first join the server: baddaddy12345 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 3week 5days 13hr 32min 36 seconds i been on this server for 2 years Time Zone: est How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 15-20hr 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? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA): yes Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: nope 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?: *tbh im bored and wanna try this stuff out for a bit to see if i like it. And summer is coming and those kids are gonna get on here by the dozen to terrorize diverge. ( some are gown adults sadly) Why should you be considered over other candidates?: im no better than the next person but im very honest and vocal on how i see things, i do mess around on my alt but i make sure not be a a total minge that actually ruins people gameplay. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): i did moderate a gta server while back but its not anything like gmod Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: 4 times all being NITRP 2 were when i got black out drunk and fox or pendred sent me to bed to sleep it off. the other 2 is when i roleplay as a actual retard but i dont cause harm nor interfere with anyones serious rp. Just some salty cops with friends in staff not wanting to fill out my plea deal lol. i do have 1 ERP note but thats easily explain able, when i was in rp as a white girl who is an entitled starbuck drinking bitch, i offered tim bradford "favors" to let me go for drunk driving onto central park. spaceium the staff member was arresting me too and saw the whole thing, after my plea deal spaceium let me explain that i was seriously trying to get a bribing charge. Tim ok-ed my pardon because he is cool with me ooc and we are friends. but gave me a serious warning to not do it again and i honestly did go overboard with that rp situation and learned to cool down a bit and learn theres limits to this. other than that my gay taxi character is just a gay dude that acts gay but doesnt do anything to anybody that breaks server rules. anything i done is IC and i made sure mods and the other player is cool with it which really ends up me in a court case in game intentionally. (like i know these guys irl basically) Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: yes. i been on here for 2 years. some know me irl. Tbh they probably think im a autist but i have yet to find someone that thinks im a asshole. i let dudes rdm and mug my gay char to let them have hate crime rp experience because somethimes things get boring in this server. or i hop on my retard char. My reputation is good but im just a little jack ass. but i know when to be serious. i come here to blow off steam from my irl business so it explains why im the way i am on here. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: when pendred came on here in his godmode moderator char and minged with everyone giving us a great experience, Eventually i held him at gun point while he was chilling basically "fail mugging" out of jokes and he gave me prop and pet flags permissions for free. I am the only person to rob a Admin and get away with it. And im proud. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: ------------------------------------------------- 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 that and make a ticket. if i see the victim ill just give him my clip. You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank than you abusing fairly often, but never doing anything too noticeable ill just clip and gather some more evidence if i can and tell the senior admins or higher. 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?: firstly ill ask for clips and check logs, if so then they we maybe friends ic and ooc but when it comes to responsibility ill have to treat him how i treat anyone else. i pked my friends on here before, no-one is gonna take advantage of me. I had a friend on here get me temporary banned for being blackout drunk irl and acting like a jack ass, and it was the right decision. So ill hold him to the same standard. Cover Letter: Look i am retard sometimes but i treat this game correctly. i know theres a time and place for everything, like i dont go in the court room to shoot judges to save my friend from getting life pk (which is blatant rdm and meta game). if declined ill understand. i made this staff app as a opportunity to see how admin works and honestly have the chance to see how people see me on here and change accordingly if they are unhappy with how i am. im not the best guy on here so feel free to speak freely on how you view me!
