Name of Faction: DeCavalcante Crime Family Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 52 (currently 54 in the discord) Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Crime Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Italian-American Name of Character running the faction: Philip DeCavalcante Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): allholyheaven Your SteamID: STEAM_0:0:620513663 Your Server playtime: 3w 5d 20h 19m Do you acknowledge and agree to all faction rules as detailed on the server rules page? (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): The DeCavalcante Family is a faction designed to offer completely serious, immersive, and character-driver roleplay, laid in stone by real world history, and the Italian-American Experience of the 1980s. While our hierarchy is based on La Cosa Nostra, this isn't just some 'Mafia' faction. We aim to correctly portray an authentic, tight-knit group of hard working Italian American's who decided to join this life out of need, not want. A real community with different sets of culture, values, and identity. who allegedly happen to be involved in organized crime. Our faction is built around a small family from New Jersey, not New York and especially not Sicily. We're not glorifying the 'Mafia' or the 'Old Country' or by using exaggerated tropes. We're directly roleplaying second- and third generation Italian-Americans, sons of construction workers, delimen, and union guys who grew up together, bonded primarily by neighborhood loyalty, and slowly becoming part of something larger then the race themselves. This is a family, where people go to church, eat dinner together on Sundays, and call each others mothers 'ma'. That sense of family and tradition of Italian-American's trying to become more 'American' through trial and error. We're devoutly committed to cultural and community rp, as I said earlier, not just criminal RP. One of our long-term goals is to involve the small businesses or organizations made by players in our roleplay, such as Construction companies that can shut down area's for construction through RP, painting companies, and the Italian American Civil Rights League, creating interactions with local leaders in New York and the regional government. This allows us to emphasize more on themes that are often forgotten about, such as ethnic identity, police harassment, and pride, while directly giving the faction more depth and legitimacy. We're not here to dominate South Side or start wars, directly or indirectly. At it's heart again, the DeCavalcante faction is about family, in every sense of that word. And we're ready to put in the time, discipline, and effort to make that something truly valuable for the server. - (Next question for easier reading) Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): Recruitment wise, we'd don't want to immediately make people an associate and have it be something that is earned over a small period of time. Being a hangaround for some time, doing small tasks like being a body guard for someone, driving affiliated members around, transporting items we need, and even buying things we need, before finally getting associated with our family. Structure wise, we completely adhere to the traditional mafia hierarchy, but we treat every rank with realistic responsibility and weight. Promotions are based solely on IC merit, devout loyalty, and character development. We're not nepotistic, giving out ranks to every single one of our friends. Everything is earned ICly, and absolutely nothing is rushed. We're committed to long-term characters, realistic progression, and in-depth politics. Our main goal, regardless of how much we're able to effect this, is to bring back serious RP. That means the basic's like /me commands, long form dialogue, and completely immersive interactions and scenarios that create tension, consequence, and atmosphere. We fully encourage our faction members and other people outside of the faction to portray believable characters, not invincible killers and street soldiers, but flawed, addicted, human individuals going through a challenging life. We stay in-character at all times and hold our members to strict high rp standards. Plenty of cultural RP, remember we're portraying Italian-American men, not criminals (allegedly). Sunday church sessions, weekend dinners, family parties, and more of these regular social events. Encouraging other factions to join us in local south side events.

Godbless, and thank you again.

Name of Character: Kane Maddox SteamID: 76561198032089467 Your Discord ID#: kraz_kane Date of PK: 07/13/2025 Reason for PK: Killed by cop. Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: How this whole thing went down it just feels like some NLR was broken. We killed all three guys, should've pked the one who didn't comply to the mugging. Shortly after there was noise in the bathroom, someone opened the window and came in, then gunfire and tazers went off. The house had the door kicked in and the officer (Garcia) shot me and killed me. The alley way next to the town house had shooting involved and then the officers kicked down the door. As soon as I see officer Garcia I was instantly gunned down. It felt a little fishy the way he snapped onto me. The person we were trying to mug and should've ended up dead, however there is a high chance the person who we mugged and killed called the cops on us using nlr information to fuck us over. More so, it's possible his two bodyguards broke nlr and tried to use meta information to bait the police into the situation. In a fashion that wasn't organic in nature. Officer Sebastian Garcia conducted himself unprofessionally in the admin sit showing there is a high potential bias against people in SOS. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kGEaZz124JyzN60-R?invite=cr-MSxvRXMsMzQ0MzA1NDUw https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kGEfF9Myffoa4PayR?invite=cr-MSxmQUYsMzk5NzY5NjE0

Your Character or Steam Name: delilah avicenna Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:784526431 Your Discord ID#: delilah.avicenna Reason for ban: i was told global rule 4, which i think is promoting Length of ban: permanent Reason for appeal- dispute Why should you be unbanned? i had left all diverge discords and after like two weeks or whatever, i made a discord faction server for civics and started asking people if they wanted to join. i was then told by dutch cat that i was banned due to promoting. this confused me bc its not promoting if i had already left the diverge discords on my own terms, well before i even made my own faction server for another mafia server that i ended up not even playing on that server. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): id say check logs, it will show that i was never banned from any diverge discords. i left on my own. this confirms that i was falsely banned as there was a misunderstanding somewhere or a confusion that caused me to still get banned considering i had already left all diverge discords before i ever asked anyone about joining a different server. the times and days will show the proof

My suggestion is simple. Add a take all button to shipments. Why shouldn't we be able to? Another option would be to make it like a crate so you can shift click the stuff out. Would still be better and feel better than spam clicking take. Also why is there a drop option? When have I ever wanted to drop items out of a shipment crate? Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

The application is well-thought and the content is impressive. I think this faction would add a fun environment and flavor to the existing Italian roleplay. It would be cool to see the DeCavalcante family on the server. +1

I realize that there was a recent implementation of a random stat being awarded based on playtime. but what if there was a gym ( maybe get rid of the governors mansion since it seems to rarely get any use) that you pay a membership for, and in return you can lift weights to get strength up, Run on a treadmill for Stamina, or do Deadlifting or a bench press for Endurance. It creates roleplay, you can meet other people at the gym, get your stats up faster, and you pay a membership so it helps the economy. Then maybe it can be some sort of legal citizen job where people that arent part of a criminal faction can join. Like if you have a personal trainer you pay them on top of the membership, but they actually boost your stats faster as you lift weights.

Let me clarify my thoughts regarding my parkour suggestion and my character PK. I've noticed the comments, and I want to say this once and for all: I don’t understand why you treat others nicely while speaking calmly, even when you disagree. I've been a nice person on this server for a long time, despite my past vigilante actions. I've tolerated the insults and negative attitudes, but I've had enough. If this doesn’t stop, I will reach out to an admin of Diverge Networks. I apologize for expressing myself this way on the forums, but I am human too, and I would like to see how you would handle being in my position. Consider this a warning.

+1 Although an interesting history (relating to coups), he is an all around good role-player and probably up there with the best we've seen on the server.

Diverge networks administrator here, this is a special needs child. Any bullying directed towards him will NOT be tolerated. Ableism is not okay. it’s 2025. Consider this a warning.

basically just tried to alt to get back into the server and now asking for an unban, be a little more honest and say you fucked up. STEAM_0:1:958330584

i wasnt in any of the server discords at that time so it cant be considered promoting unless i was still in the discords

opinions on staff apps mean quite literally nothing when you comment lol

224 word count for your back story, while yes the question does say 250+ minimum, read some of the other accepted applications to understand what the expectations are. you dont need to do 500 or 250 or 800 words, but a large majority of the other apps are more in depth about their backstories. also !time ingame to see your playtime.

rejoin.....

I LOVE YOU MR FLANNAGAN PLEASE HAVE MY KIDS

if you didn't rdm, then you're rdm baiting lmfao. Intentions cannot be proved from one person to another, but in this case, you're directly chasing him and punching towards him. Did the other guy over react by pulling out a gun? Yes, but is that against the rules? No, he was justified to threaten you, he felt in danger. But for you to play the victim card of "I didn't do that" or "It's his fault" is just blatantly wrong. I'm not staff anymore nor can I read your POs, nor do I even play the server, but the first sentence here summarizes this entire ban. 5 days is a little harsh, but you're clearly just looking for a reason to kill someone. This is a mafia server, not a pvp server, not every interaction needs to end in violence.

when i was senior admin i actually intentionally only took the opposing side's sits, and when i knew they were an enemy i would side with the guy in the wrong, life is just so much simpler that way when you've made up your mind on the sit before hearing any of the facts (you're schizophrenic, make a staff report if its something actually dire and not just some retard rambling)

turn down sound effects volume

clown vs mime war is this way, we try our best to only use melee or fist fights, brawls are more fun that way rather than one guy with an automatic gun just spraying down a crowd

approach 1, legal rp. stricter gun laws, nothing can be open carried (back, or in hands), make current concealed weapons show on the waistline or something. approach 2, stupid, but add heavier escalation rules, current it goes as follows, ur mad at me, i punch you, you hit me with your gun, i shoot you dead bam. could make it something like fists can only be retaliated with the bud of your gun (and nerf the damage a fuck ton) or melee weapons not my idea though and i came up with this out of my liquid asshole juice

When recruiting people, you might have someone train for you because you're a lazy sack of shit. Sometimes these trainings might not be done properly, yadada, and thats purely the fault of who told you to train right? But what happens in the case of people who don't get invited to the faction discord for example. Crucial step right there, because now you have an un-tracked faction member that can do whatever the fuck they want. Im yapping, heres my proposal. A faction "lock-down" option to whitelisting. Factions may choose to enable or disable this, basically it will not allow anyone to be whitelisted to your faction (staff cannot whitelist TO faction) UNLESS you have C menu recruitment permissions. This will stop the leak of random low level associates/interns from being able to just go "@ whitelist this guy" and causing problems, under the faction whitelist. Maybe I'm just a horrible faction leader idk, but I've caught a bunch of people just blatantly racket abusing recently in my faction (Brown and Sons Co.), yet I cannot do anything about it, other than just unwhitelist them and get staff to note/ban/punish etc.

damm im not reading allat BUT with that much text i +1, not a bad person just around bad people! and im not staff anymore so i cant ban u

since its a perma, i can comment, you have a victim complex. own up to what you did, admit what you did wrong, and apologize properly rather than "im the victim once again"

i agree, but i think they should be targeted natural disasters. hmmm maybe a giant child support tsunami or we could do like idk, earthquake of stock market crash 9.5 magnitude

brand new to the server, makes a really bad faction application, makes some crazy weird and disliked suggestions, then asks some of the stupidest questions and all the sudden you're the all knowing eye or some shit? like bro take a step back from the game lmfao

its not always about server location, it could also be server performance. for example if theres a lot of cars out, it'll cause more ping lag naturally, because cars are heavy to run on a server.

didnt read, but personally i just kill em anyways, kinda like giving crack to a monkey adrenaline, high risk no reward

low playtime for the server and extremely short backstory. i highly recommend looking at the other faction's accepted applications to figure out your footing on some "read between the lines" expectations. oh also.... for a faction i think its common sense to not AI generate it 100%

did you have a twitch

because they all act like idiots on em when they spawn 50, bikes have invisible 4 wheels so theres a thousand times more collisions. again, because this is the only part people will read bikes lag the server because the people driving them are idiots and spawn 50 of them. (same exact thing would happen with cars)

licenses already exist for this, theres a casino license and a gambling license, if you have a casino, you get both, but you can also NOT have a casino, but get a gambling license to legally run WHATEVER type of gambling you want. people already hosted horse racing through props and machines, but you could do whatever tf u want, poker, dice, etc...

literally stole what i said when you said 'add more ways of getting rid of a body' ur a joke shut up

lets keep it that way.

11 days play time with 28 months between first join and last ban, i dont think you understand how numbers work

but you did it twice lol

Not the banning admin here or nothing, but heres some interesting stats to prove why you should not be unbanned anytime soon or given any sort of chance! First join, 2nd of February, 2022. Play time, 11 days, 11 hours, 42 minutes, 21 seconds. Whopping 18 bans and 12 notes. Your total ban time is 91.96 days. (Excluding most recent permaban) (Read two lines above....) Total ban time compared to play time, is approximately x8. (banned 8 times more than total play time) Numbers below are including the actual time banned (including = lower averages, excluding = higher averages) Average bans per month? 0.61 bans per month. Average notes per month? 0.43 notes per month. Total months since join time to last ban date? 28 months. Total months (28) divided by playtime? x73.12. You are a chronical rule breaker and have never learnt. You have multiple serious offenses on your account including Global Rule 13s and others. (This is all public record) Nothing has changed with you, never has, never will.

In the appeals process, every angle is looked at. You at your own volition joined a criminal family, and were given a prompt along the lines of "Anything you do is PKable, you are now at great risk". You joined, and you purchased the drugs. If you didn't want a crime life, then you don't need to join a family purely involved in crime. To show every angle is looked at, we even investigated the person who killed you because it seemed like they were on an alternate character, but turns out they were pked out of Bonnanos a couple days prior. 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.

While yes, you did break FearRP and that does warrant a PK in this situation. You got lucky because the person who mugged you, was deemed a mugging character a couple hours after you were killed. You should really read up on the PK rules, especially breaking FearRP, a little recap is that if someone is mugging you, or giving you commands, under fearrp, the second you retaliate and die, you can be pked for that. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

When joining a criminal faction you are prompted with a text that says something along the lines of "You understand the risks of joining this family" blah blah blah. In this case, dons orders were sent out on you for the specific reasoning as stated above. The official order message is saying "making the family look bad upon several different instances in the past 6 months and calling 911 against known allies." 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.

When you're shooting someone, you need to be the one aware of who you're shooting. Crossfire or not, accidental or not, you shot him in the end. Also off of your clip, you are very clearly RDM baiting. You came up to that situation with the only intent of starting something. By using a stupid voice, and being annoying to the people on the property. Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.

brought a panzher to a PD riot event and gave someone a china lake to also shoot at the riot

Banning Admin Here, When someone else had just gotten banned for mass stabbing AFK police officers in the PD, I was spectating around the PD. I then see you charging the PD front door with a knife. I freeze you and your friend and give you a name change prompt. You don't change it, so I give you another one and make you aware of the situation. I said, word for word, "if you run in there and stab the cops with your knife for no reason, you, and the person who gave you the knife are going to be punished for it." You picked a new name and went on your way. Not more than 5 seconds later, you run into the PD and start stabbing cops then die. Now, by rules, that would still be a ban for a first time offender like yourself, yet because I told you literally NOT to do that, and you did it anyways, thats why you got banned. To read your appeal, I did. Its not remotely okay to raid the PD. Not being strict, I told you exactly what NOT to do. You cannot raid PD without UA approval, and in this instance, your raid was to just RDM. A real mafia would raid the PD to get someone out of jail, not kill as many officers as possible with a kitchen knife then get gunned down. More and more lies. I told you prior to you entering the building, I even told you after I tped you to a sit when you died that you shouldn't of done that. In the end, I think you got lucky with only a 3 day ban.

While yes, you did still ltarp, all of your POs are mostly from 2022, 2023, and only one ban in 2024. You're improving or gone inactive, ANYWAYS, standard 1st time punishment for LTARP is generally 12 hours. You're being reduced to a day, try not to do it again please and read up on the rules. Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The ban will be reduced to 1 day.

PET flag taking admin here, Here is the clip that I took from only two months ago. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/iHVOGzk0efp613ryp/d1337tlOPjdj?invite=cr-MSxlaFksMTA3ODcwODM1LA You already have one PET Flag note given to you on July 16th, that states 'Prop minging, if done again ban'. That means you did something bad before too, but PET flags generally have a rule of TWO. One note, then removal. Your first ever connection was on 29th of May 2023, yet all of your 9 notes, and 6 bans, have been in 2024. Multiple permanent bans on record, and you don't seem to be improving, you just seem to be not getting caught or simply not playing as much. While yes, you do have 36 days playtime, as a staff member when taking PET flags we need to judge if you deserve them, or truly meant mal-intent. In this situation, as you say 'I was just high', is not an excuse. If you cannot handle your substances, you should know better to not get on the server at all. Why do you think you don't see drunk staff members taking tickets?

maybe a little icon showing which ones you own, because some people do like to explore custom vehicles through the ingame menu then track down the owner, if not as simple as a little icon (this ones medium difficulty!), sort by owned, and unowned with a spacer char

When joining a crime family, you get this message as a prompt and rules that you must follow. You were killed because of dons orders for "incompetency" and "failure to pay dues". 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.
