That mansion was promised to him 3000 years ago.

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

In-Game Name(s): Luca Schwartz ,Operative Mason Peralta, Deputy Firearms Commissioner Mac Palmer, Leddy Kai, Enzo "Pulito" Rana Steam Name: LogicN Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/LogicNov/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:560397984 Discord Username: mrlogicnova Age: 16 When did you first join the server: around April last year Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2mo 2w 11h 36m Time Zone: GMT How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: Around 4 - 5 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?: No. 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 enjoy playing Diverge. I typically spend more than seven hours a day on the server, which is what I do with the most of my free time. There is usually one staff online when I get on at my regular hour. In addition, I frequently witness players complaining that their tickets have been open for a very long time without a response and i want to assist in making that not the case. In order to assist stopping half the server's frequent rule violations, I also want to become staff. to support the community. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * Even though I might be called a retard, I have staffing experience in several games. I'm not fundamentally that stupid. No matter who you are to me or whether you are a friend, I always try to be fair. If you have done something wrong, I will either ban you or give you a note depending on the circumstances of POS. I am also quite active and prepared to commit as much time as feasible to the Diverge staff team if selected. I'm excited to learn from my friends on the staff team, so I will ask a few of them to mentor and help me navigate the staffing process. Since I main the server and have no life, I won't waste this opportunity if I am given the chance. Do you have any previous staffing experience? Please list where, I have staffing experience Outside of Gmod. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have received three separate bans. I was banned for Metagame for the first time because one of my friends witnessed my arrest, switched chars, and raided the PD. Another friend then entered the jail and seized my gun. The second was for a revengeful PK attempt, and I knew why I was banned by Monaclu; I definitely deserved it. My final ban was for RDM. Even though it was an accident and I didn't mean any harm, I can understand why I was banned for shooting the same individual twice because he Ran over my friend twice. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * Most people consider me to be a young retard. The fact that I made some retarded mistakes during my first few weeks on Diverge, learnt from them, and tried apologise to the people I offended even if they weren't forgiving supports this. I have also made a fool of myself on several times, such as when I played my first police officer role and learnt from my mistakes to improve as an officer in the future. This is further evidenced by the fact that im known as a retard. I have had friends on Diverge who were consistently breaking the rules, were despised there, and now I have severed all communication with said friends. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Definitely the Protest to remove Sergei Bodrov from being DA or 6/14. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: none didn't ask anyone to ------------------------------------------------- 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?: first I would clip the situation or ask someone around the situation to clip it if i dont have my clipping software open then i would ask in staff chat if anyone's free to look at it and see if it is actually RDM. if no other staff members are online i would take the players char ID and make a player report on the forums. and wait until it is dealt with. 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 first reach out to another staff member i trust well or know would actually look into it with me and get there opinion on the situation. I would than clip in suspicious behaviour from said staff abusing. I would also go through that staff members logs and look for any suspicious Logs and screenshot any i find. i would then make a Ticket in the discord ask for it to be super admin + only or just DM the proof to Canadian for him him to look at. just in case the satff member abusing is a member of 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?: i would try not to take the ticket because it could be seen as Bias from any parties involved. If no staff member is taking the ticket after awhile i would take the ticket and give my judgement if i see wrong doing i would give the member of my faction or if there my friend a suitable punishment. Whether its a Note or a ban i would give the punishment as it would be my duty to do so as a staff member.

Get this fat fucking hobo out of office and give us an election

Dude… do you want me to insert the clip?!

-1 the line has to be drawn somewhere

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

-1 His personality doesn't tickle my fancy

Noticed during this conflict there is a lot of people spawning terrible garbage bag props. Think it would be interesting if there was an actual 'Trash Bag' item that you could put certain items inside of. I.e you can use a trash bag on a burger on the floor and it will put it inside of a bag in your inventory, with the option to now empty it / see what's inside with a progression bar that says 'emptying'. Would be good for body parts and such, realistically if you cut a body up you would wrap the parts in a bag before dumping somewhere. Might enable people to actually put trash in trash bins and give the scallywag brokie hobo's something else to scavenge through.

bru

-1 annoying ass kid

-1 ha, no

-1 Have not had the best interactions, All interactions were him minging,

-1 low quality player Huge minge, would probably be biased as fuck based on my interactions with him. He'll probably get accepted either way since they let string in but a minge knows another minge Like I said, all my interactions with him have been negative, I genuinely, and this isn't because of who he is, I genuinely do not think he would be a good pick for staff and it'll just end up being a staff report and him crying. Incapable of seeing the bigger picture and I can 100% see him being biased. I played the server when I was young too, and I still am young, people won't see you as a "young retard" if you don't act like it. You saying you've changed throughout your time on the server isn't enough, especially since I still see you acting like a moron. Said he's learned from his mistakes and has matured more from his start on the server but then proceeds to -1 every comment that isn't positive towards his staff application, not a good look. When people say "they let string in so why not", that isn't a good thing. String is also a minge and they're saying you compare to him so it isn't a compliment. String has previous experience and has proven before that he can be a good staff member, which is why they accepted him. Your staff application has frequent grammar mistakes as well, put more effort into it and try again in a few months when you've proven you arent a LQP.

-1 go get a nice job at your local airport, buy a c8 convertible corvette and then I will +1 your application

+1 need more unbiased staff members

-1 provides nothing other than arguing with people and being a nuisance has a huge arguing attitude very far from efficient staffing incredibly immature overall

+1 Not a commission main

-1 yeah i bet

theres so little ways to make money cause its not like you can extort other people, etc. I mean hesists could be a cool feature but only thing I can think of

I think I answered this somewhere else on the forums, but I'm happy to reiterate again for newer people such as yourself. Custom vehicles and other custom things are the main parts of keeping the server funded which has enabled us for the past 5 years to provide a free to play experience with 0 pay to win advantages whatsoever. It's also what allows us to consistently pump out new content. Unfortunately there is not another way that doesn't involve compromising the integrity of gameplay, for example perma weapons. Nothing you can donate for gives you an inherent advantage over people who don't donate. Before we introduced custom cosmetics and things that solely make an impact visually, there were many months were the server did not make enough to sustain itself, let alone allow for consistent new content. It's a small compromise, and one that is needed to allow the server to exist and improve constantly. Out of year vehicles are intentionally priced higher to dissuade people from obtaining them. Meaning there are way fewer in existence. Also, we actively deny many absurd requests and will continue to do so. Not everything can run free. Hope that explains it! We do our best to keep everything as accurate as possible, but for us to continue providing the experience that sees hundreds of unique players connecting a day providing thousands of hours of entertainment without any real requirement to pay out, it's something that must be done. Unlike many other servers myself and the staff team do this out of passion, we're not here to make a quick buck - but we have to be realistic about things, especially something we pour a lot of our free time into.

I accidently shot my window when i was trying to test if my gun was chambering good in my house and when i clock the slide back i accidently pulled the trigger and shot my window anyone can give tips and tricks to make sure the hole isnt noticeable pls

Okay booty boy.

+1 fuck the governer

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

+1

+1 replace gov mansion with world corp

Gas station and getting gas

Hello! I banned you because you were caught item transferring a large amount of items across multiple characters. You had POs, and clearly showed no regard for the rules. I highly doubt you've changed this much since January, and you'll fall into your old habits eventually.

Section 1 Updates to Alliance and Agreements Alliances are limited to a maximum of 5 factions. (Mega alliances may not team up together, defeats the point of the limit) (This limit includes districts, a district is regarded as an ally, a vassal you own, but an ally nonetheless) This will increase amount of diplomacy Roleplay and prevent the server from splitting into two massive alliances (Boring!) [Added benefit of reducing number of puppet factions] This rule is not followed either enforce the rule more thoroughly or change it back. All this rule created was proxy factions agree or disagree that's how it is currently. Reasons for Conflict: Extortion Extortion or attempted extortion could be a reason to cause conflict. The two factions would have to meet and reach a suitable business agreement to maintain the peace. For example if one group wants to control a certain aspect of storefronts within their territory they may put pressure on another faction for 50% of their profits, and after some escalation and sit down negotiations a deal of 20% in exchange for security is made. I've firsthand seen a faction attempt to extort another faction for impeding on their racket which UA denied. Either remove this reason for escalation, rename it to impeding on said faction's business, or allow factions to extort other factions for stepping on their racket without the need for a mutually agreed contract beforehand. In the mafia the bigger group is going to try to tax the smaller mafia for cutting out a piece of their income IE illegal gambling, selling drugs at a certain location, etc. Another thing is the term "within their territory" there is no definition of territory found anywhere in the rules or conflicts. Assuming it refers to the faction's business fronts you could just get around this by doing it right outside their property. Either define territory or change it to business fronts. Section 2: Sit-downs and meetings Not every sit down needs to be logged to UA, while UA is going to hate this change its ridiculous having to record and make a ticket for every sit down that occurs between factions especially internally within alliances. Most sit downs get resolved by the first meeting and making a ticket for every single one is aids and no one does it. To better balance this, sit-downs that require a UA ticket should only occur after the first sit down fails and further negotiation is needed. UA should not mediate sit downs, this is just fail rp. Why would some random guy act as the mediator between two dons of criminal families. I understand the practicality of the rule and how it makes UA's job a lot easier managing conflicts but end of the day there needs to be a separation of staff and rp and when you mix the two it ruins the roleplay. Complete immersion break tldr, if both factions can't agree on a mediator, then there shouldn't be one. I propose that there should be three distinct different types of sit downs that can occur. 1. Internal (factions inside the alliance) 2. External (factions outside of the alliance) and 3. Full Scale (Between whole alliances.) Section 3: New Escalation Tiers Level 1: The first sit-down Provided the transgression is minor and both faction leaders are good at what they do then most conflicts will not escalate past this point. Both factions will have met and discussed the issue and outlined an agreement to resolve the problem. Should they fail to do so they should make a UA ticket and find a mediator. The first sit down must be recorded in order to move to Level 2. Level 2: The simmer (2nd sit-down) The second sit down will occur with an agreed upon mediator to help hash out the facts of the case and both factions will have support tickets open with UA so they may submit any relevant evidence and keep management up to date on the status of the conflict. During the time between the first meeting to the second the two factions may put their business with the opposing faction on pause, halting trades and other events or niceties until the situation is resolved. 95% of conflicts should be resolved by the second sit down unless the issue is so atrocious that proper settlement terms cannot be reached. Level 3: Boiling point (3rd sit-down) A failure of the second meeting is the boiling point and by now bad blood has likely formed, small breakouts of violence are likely to occur, bar fights, obscenities maybe even some road rage or the occasional out of territory mugging. After the third sit-down and no resolution is found the escalation is moved up to Level 4. Level 4: Brothers Spat (4th sit-down) At this level target mugging (on your main characters…) the opposing faction is fair game and barring rivals from your establishments is expected. Loitering or graffiti may also become commonplace but tolerating loitering is also less practiced. Both sides will seek to annoy and harass the other to the dismay of both the police and your suppliers. While this stage of escalation allows you to openly harass the opposing faction it also strains your business, as your suppliers don’t want the extra heat your shipment arrival times and shipment costs increase 25%. Business is impacted. Level 5: Wave of Violence (5th sit-down) At this level the violence is palpable. Shootings of properties and businesses may become commonplace and will not be considered a raid. Shipment arrival times and shipment costs increase by 50% of the original amounts. More attention from police means your suppliers may request cash or certain amounts of drugs / weapons as payment in order to keep operating, failure to meet these payments could see additional vendor penalties apply and possibly have your faction lose access to selling certain drugs. Individuals responsible for the initial cause of the conflict can have hits (PKs) placed against them. (For instance if the conflict stemmed from a certain member target mugging and the offending faction had refused to hand him over. Seek UA approval for these hits.) Level 6: Defcon 2 This level can be reached if more than 5 sit-downs have occurred and failed. At this level you are basically a few days if not less from hitting the mattresses, your suppliers disappear seeking to wait the impending conflict out. At this level you may firebomb the rival properties to put them out of commission and cause significant financial harm as well as openly target one member of their high command for a PK hit. Level 7: War Level 7 is war. You know how war goes. Your factions are fully blocked from selling drugs to any NPC as the sellers aim to not choose sides. War lasts until one side falters or until an agreed win condition must be met. UA has final say if war is approved or not and can end it at any time. The things I changed - Every escalation level represents a sit down up until 5. Both factions have 5 chances to resolve the conflict before it escalates to violence. - Removed the Level 0, needing approval from UA for every instance of conflict resolution is a waste of time, 99% of conflicts are resolved are resolved by the first sit down and you should not need UA involvement until it moves up a level where an initial resolution could not be found. Section 4: Taxation/Compensation Changes Remove the max escalation level for all of the offenses. Any and all offenses can move towards conflict if neither side eventually comes to a resolution. Bad blood simply doesn't stop because the conflict has a max escalation tier. This just makes the escalation system put an absolute stop on the possibility of real conflict, if both sides can't agree on a resolution, then conflict is inevitable not based on what max escalation level the offense was. The tax amounts should stay and are a good reference for how much you should tax someone for an offense.

Adding a prison would create a lot of RP a lot of people serving time just scroll on their phones and overall boring. Imagine this you are serving a 30 year sentence and you are in prison creating connects, trading stories about your arrest and lifting weights to gain strength . You see people you are hostile with and create fights, maybe craft a shiv to take him out. Adding a prison MAY take FPS but it doesn't have to be a large prison this would benefit the jail community by actually adding RP to it.

Bring back the townhouses or add the mall that would be sick

townhouses need to come back tbh

Ngl I really liked the og townhouses that were at the current home of the mansion and I'd prefer them back over anything else. A worldcorp 2.0 would be cool but I think it would be out of place all the way on the edge of the map like that. I'd think a skyscraper would be more central in the map.

-1 from thins I’ve heard he is very mingy sorry but I’ve never talked to him personally so idk

notice how all of you friends are +1ing saying "you've changed". Also when have you changed im just wondering cause them saying changed means you did have an attitude in the past that was negative and wouldn't be a fit for staff so i'm just wondering what was this"previous attitude". Because in my opinion you're still a LQP, so were you a even worse LQP? "Do you have any previous staffing experience? Please list where, I have staffing experience Outside of Gmod." This is not an answer to the question it says list where, you said you have staffing experience outside of gmod what experience..? You've also mentioned other experience but never went into detail

I mean if Jmoorsey and Shittor can do it why not this bitchlet +1

Can we get paid please, Winston....

im just contesting there point of me being biased when they have just been biased on my app not really arguing but anyway I'm going to stop responding now have a nice day tho.

+1 bro has made a huge change in overall attitude.

+1 if string can get it, this guy also deserves a chance

-1 big minge

+1 Not a comission main

+1 has been acting mature in recent times also they let string in so why not

+1 He sucks at Pro Clubs so maybe he might be good at staff

every building is in use not one have i seen without many people

-1 if the server owner says so

Because some staff let it happen and most likely are encouraging it.

GMOD Goon, it's been years Ig, unban him

No. Maybe add a gas system, that would be coolish. (to vehicles)
