In-Game Name(s): None RN RIP Antonio Caleno Steam Name: killerman10118 Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/killerman10118/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:569612902 Discord Username: string_000 Age: 17 When did you first join the server: March 2021 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): cant get in game rn but its a few months sorry Time Zone: PST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 3-5 hours a week or more depends if im not in school 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?: * My overall motivation for applying is my recurring desire to diverge after all that happens to me, either getting pked or banned; I always somehow come back. As I come back every time, I see how much staff truly changes, and I see how sometimes it’s good with tickets getting accepted in minutes while sometimes 10+ staff are on and they take 0 tickets and just rp on their main chars. I personally want to join the staff team due to my dedication to only my staff character, as I have no real RP characters, and I have been pked from most factions on the server. I want to help and support the server in which I had so much fun for the past 4 enjoyable years, even though a lot has happened. I want to fix my reputation and show myself as a dedicated member of the community once again and not as a minge and to help in any way I can, and that is by joining the staff team to help in any capacity. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I should be considered over other candidates for 2 major reasons. My first reason is my overall experience/knowledge of good mafia RP. I have been playing for a long time, and I know the community to a tee and what the player base is genuinely like, unlike other newer players. The 2nd reason I should be a candidate is my previous staff experiences diverge. I have been staffed over 3+ times, and every time I get better and better, I have experience in taking all sorts of tickets and have experience in every situation as either the staff member or the roleplayer. I can give knowledgeable information to all. Also, I am very nice and helpful to all, no matter what they know about me or if they like or dislike me. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Diverge Networks Mafia rp 3x times Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes a lot of times. Now, I wouldn’t call myself perfect. No one is in GmodMafia RP, but I have a terrible / ruined track record. When I barely joined, I didn’t break the rules at all, barely getting 1 warning from 2021 to 2022, but after that, everything went downhill. I started minging and getting bans left and right, including a few permanent bans, but from Pendred allowing me to come back every time ( very thankful ), I try my hardest to stop and not get bans, but it still occurs like most players. But when I become staff, this would be the only thing I would do and, therefore, won’t get banned anymore. I know, my bans and warns are really bad but pls give another change gangy!! Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * Yes, I have one of this community's most iconic / ruined reputations. Everyone knows me and knows who I am and what I have done (concerning bans and minging ). I would say when I play normally, and that 99% of the time, I truly believe I help with rping and try my best to act serious, but it's a game, and no one is truly an irl gangster, yk. But most players are divided in half regarding who I truly am. There are the players who like who I am due to my funny personality, and the other half who do not like me due to that same personality and take things a little too seriously. But most enjoy my presence. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: My favorite moment on Diverge would be in early 2021 as a new player and roleplaying as an associate in prime diverge and having fun being in vc with og lucchese with 20+ players and being the best security guard in all of nyc by protecting imperial and doing drugs and such. 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?: Well, it depends. If it is prime time and other staff members are online during that moment, I would ask them if they can pull me to a sit so I can explain what happened and for them to make a staff sit. But if no one is online, such as during downtime or late at night, I would make the sit and not be biased and ask for second opinions from other staff members so as not to be prejudiced. 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?: Well, first, I wouldn't want to talk directly to the person but rather gather evidence of everything they are doing and put all this info on a Google doc, making it easy for UA to see and use. I wouldn't want to directly confront the person because if we are the same or equal rank, they wouldn't care what I would be saying, but if UA talks to them, then they will care. 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?: Well, It doesn't matter who it is; it could be my don, it could be my brother in the game, or it could be I know very well in the game; the person does not matter, and it won't affect my judgment in game or have any bias towards not doing my complete staff duties against them. Also, regarding the "you know that this person rarely does this when you play with him" comment, the player could be brand new, but if they are breaking the rules, I have to do everything in my power to enforce the rules to the best of my ability, but if they are brand new like first time playing I would be more willing to give warnings/notes than ban unless it was a horrible rule break such as mass rdm or something in that line.

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

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

-1 actual brainlet with 0 roleplay experience whatsoever just does stupid shit metagames and gets banned then whines about it like a little bitch in diverge gen

Hello! Cop that PK'd you here, the reason we were following you is because you drove down the docks(which is against the law, Reckless Driving), we then followed you, saw you near the barge ladder, followed you back towards docks, you drove around, then stopped by docks where we approached you, my Officer then doorkicked you, attempted to detain you, and that is when you made the unwise decision to shoot and kill him, and then tried shooting me, and that utterly failed resulting in your death. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/jia6yo0AIS2TE_rR8/oUvoWUe2Soyw?invite=cr-MSxDSnYsNDUwMjc5Niw

Your Character or Steam Name: SwegnerZ Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): 76561199758285783 Your Discord ID#: mcjames69 Reason for ban: Global Rule 13 Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute, I was saying a lot of disrespectful things but Skagg intentionally had someone bait me into saying the word DDOS I have no inclination to make any real Life threats to anyone. While I do understand I was behaving in an irrational manner, I feel as though I was judged too harshly and far too swiftly. I'd like to at least be given another chance to prove I am not like that I don't cause trouble. Why should you be unbanned? Because I am genuinely innocent in the matter I will admit I was behaving in an irrational and violent manner but I have no intention of causing harm to anyones real personal life and I am not some filthy Hacker despite what Skagg has claimed. I have no intention of causing any harm to Diverge Networks I am merely a victim of circumstance. I'm not gonna go and say it was Admin abuse but thats sure what it feels like. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): I have no video evidence but I had several people prop kill me and Hit me with vehicles. I will admit I was acting like a complete moron, but I at least think I deserve a second chance seeing as how I was severely under the influence of Alcohol (not an excuse but it is a factor in the equation that we can't simply ignore) I was RDMed and nobody seemed to care but as soon as I mention what another individual essentially baited me into saying. I understand I was being quite foolish but in all honesty I think I was judged a bit too unfairly in the matter. The facts need to be thoroughly investigated. Could you please reconsider and look more thoroughly into this matter. Thank you

-1 not enough writing

string is probably better than a lot more staff than you realize. only if string is serious about it though.
