When you pick up a dead body, your speed decreases. I think the same should happen when you pick up someone who is unconscious. The minges are going to hate this suggestion.

(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): Of course, as a faction full of pimps, our property is going to be made to look like a strip club/bar (For aesthetics only.) Encouraging roleplay from the bar. "Patched" equivalent members, those who have already earned their colors, will drive low riders through the streets, listening to music, doing drugs, living life to its fullest. We really want to emphasize on the stereotypical pimp lifestyle, nice suits, big coats, lowriders, gambling, drugs and who could forget jewelry? Not only would our Faction sling drugs and hold big guns, but fashion is what makes a pimp! Spending our hard earned dough on whatever jewelry and nice suits we can get our hands on. Holding an event coined "The Velvet Stroll" in which contestants get voted on for their outfits, and the winner wins a prize of clothing or stone cold cash. For clarity purposes, we do not plan on doing any sexual roleplay, we simply like the style and RP of a pimp. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): As said above, we are going to have the Velvet Stroll event, as well as a colors ceremony, to add some good Rp to the ranking process, each influential rank up will come with an event in said person's name, alcohol, drugs, all the good things every Pimp looks forward to. Organization Backstory (Min. of 250+ Words & any images): The year is 1967, an Afro-Mexican American man named Silky Ray Gonzalez and a couple of buddies were at their local jazz bar, a restitute for men of he and his brother's color. He never found himself selling dope with his buddies, making some money on the side whenever their jobs didn't pay them enough. Soon, they opened a business selling their roster out of a motel room, they were making more money than they ever had, selling drugs and selling time was more profitable than they could ever imagine, they quit their jobs and went crooked for good. Things were going relatively well for the men, they began spreading their wings with the newfound income, spending money on suits that would draw attention from anyone, from dark purples to light pinks, leopard print to zebra print. They were rolling in it, and new members were appearing every week. They ran several underground gambling and escort rings, out of the very Jazz bars that they took refuge in. By 1973, whenever Cocaine and Heroin made its way to New York. business was better than ever. They began buying out nightclubs and record labels, anything to get them more money. Greed got to Silky Ray, all of his lavish living style caught up to him, he got caught for Money Laundering in 1976, and later died in prison in 1978, murdered by another inmate. That marked the end of Pimp's Paradise, jackets left behind, most of their businesses being sold off, the remaining members leaving with what money they could get out of it. Now, Silky Ray's illegitimate son with one of the escorts, wants to recreate his father's empire, after years of his own experience.

black man 76561199311495704 alting perma I'm truly sorry for alting and breaking the server rules. I understand the trust I violated and take full responsibility. It won't happen again I’ve learned from my mistake. I hope you’ll consider giving me a 3rd chance. I’ve taken time to reflect on my actions and understand why they were wrong. I genuinely enjoy being part of the community and want to return the right way. I’m ready to follow all rules and prove I can be a positive member. Everyone makes mistakes I’m asking for one chance to make things right.

Whenever you get jailed or when your character gets jailed the amount of years your character gets imprisoned for should add up to their age idk this might stop minges because then if your character gets like 100+ years old it could be a pk

Only having one space to spawn cars from on ONE side of town is repetitive, now i understand not adding a whole new car lot with npc but just one space more around maybe the dock or police station would make life better and make the new additions to cars feel more impactful too as people have incentives to grab a car instead of just running if they had a spawner closer to them than all the way by the casino.

Lol

I think hes ready to re enter the world of this society and be reinstated its been well over a year and the twins dont deserve this torture anymore

PK Appeal Format Below is the format that you must followed when making a PK appeal, you must copy all sections and fill them out in detail. Rules: You may only make one appeal per PK, if you are denied you will be unable to appeal for that character again. You must appeal within one week of your character being PK'd, appeals posted after this time will be automatically denied. You may only comment on an appeal if you were DIRECTLY involved with the situation leading up to the PK. Replies that are not relevant to the situation will result in a forum warning and/or ban. You must follow the provided template for the appeal, failure to do so will result in an instant denial. Name of Character: Character ID: SteamID: Your Discord ID#: Date of PK: Reason for PK: Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines:

You don't believe an elder would or should think two or three times before doing the same crime as a younger person? This increases immersion and makes the age a viable and meaningful mechanic. The whole point of consequences of crimes is to deter people from committing them or inspiring them to commit them smarter. And if age isn't going to be useful for anything, then we should just be able to change it on the fly or reset it at the hospital, which many of us have asked for. Either age matters IC or it don't matter.

The LSD/M barrels remained blue for about three days after the previous map change (two map changes ago). That made me wonder... Why couldn't the barrels remain blue? Only got one possible conclusion... Maybe it was because LSD it's the first racket drug, and since they're already at a disadvantage compared to the other factions, perhaps having their drug concealed would make their lives easier at the begining.

Hi I was the staff member who administered this ban - For one, you blatantly powergamed, dropping a brick of marijuana at the door step of a property, and running away - I have the clip that shows you did not immediately pick this up, I will post that should it be necessary once I am home. You also continued this behaviour after the fact, in the ghetto. Secondly, you were RDM'ing when I was spectating your play afterwards, something you claimed was okay as you 'knew the person' you killed - I was lenient and downgraded this to a NITRP, which was exceptionally fair considering your extensive notes for RDM. When it comes to your ban time, I had spoken to a Seasoned Admin about this case, and asked for some advice on the severity of the situation. With his advice, aswell as another member of staff, I decided on 5 days - Due to your extensive notes and your insistence that I 'only ban you for a day' as a favour, it felt like you needed some time to truly consider the consequences of your actions. You have gained an impressive wrap sheet in a very short time - I suggest you spend the remaining 4 days considering what it means to provide valuable roleplay to the server, and reading up on the rules. Good luck on your appeal

Even though this may have not been a target mug (Crazy "coincidence" getting the same guy back to back), you created this character 3 hours before you mugged the victim. Now this doesn't immediately prove that you're a mugging character so I dug a little deeper. I looked into your logs and saw that you did not in fact "find those guns". You ordered them on your main character Anthony and went to the shipment when it arrived, dropped the guns, swapped characters to pick them up on Darnell. This is item transfer and racket abuse. You made no taxi adverts, no meaningful roleplay (no going to jail doesn't count), you didn't even pull out a taxi on this character from what I can see. Expanding further on the "No meaningful roleplay" because you seemed confused to Dutch's reply. By "meaningful roleplay" we mean building up an actual character, something like buying a house and growing weed in the basement. Not just creating a character to run from police or mug/scam people. Seeing as you lied about the guns, it makes me curious as to if you also lied about not target mugging this guy. You have 2 previous bans for fail mug within the past month. You should know the rules regarding mugging by now.

The way I see it the only real downside to this update is logistics. My 1911's muzzle booster shouldn't take up the same space as the gun itself. Can be fixed by simply adding a droppable case that takes up a 3x3 slot in the bank with a 5x5 or larger internal inventory, As long as it saves a decent amount of space it doesn't really matter how big it is. This would also make large attachment sales both more realistic and less tedious.

Maybe For now you can jam it on the gun or every gun bag will also carry up to 4 attachments alongside a primary weapon.

Making billboards rentable by the government would be a nice addition to the city

Just lower the tax for clothing instead of making a whole system to not rp

No real point in differentiating in damage and it's mostly to prevent people from getting into combats with people / police and then instantly running to a stash to hide an item like a cheeky lil rat.

I would say to change the meth barrels to the blue ones instead. Leave oil how it is. But changing either would be a great idea.

Would kind of be interesting but it would have to be done at permaprop level (i guess similar to your image) ain't no way Pendred gonna' have time to constantly retexture billboards lmao.

They should PK fail muggers, (not new players though, they get one warning then PK next time they fail mug)

Hello. I am the guy you almost successfully mugged, and a proper lick is something I will never be angry about. In this game, you can't just create a character and go around mugging people and making them risk everything while you're on a character you simply do not value. A lot of us put months and even years into these characters. Another problem, you and your friends were banned by 4lights on October 7th for fail-mug. I was the same victim. It is such a striking coincidence that I just so happened to be the same victim twice in a row, while you and your buddies were saying "I knew we'd catch a Jew" by the Governor's mansion, or did you forget? Read the rules of mugging, char abuse, mugging chars, target mugging etc. Instead, you should've mugged me on your Bonnanno Main, that would've been exciting to be honest, but you won't be getting that chance anymore, I'm sure of it, as you are disgrace to their name. If you some how mug me again after this 2 week ban it is obvious target mugging. This isn't some DarkRP garbage server. You likely only have one chance left. Enjoy your 2 week vacation and your early retirement in Northern Sicily.

Hello! I was the one who banned you for two weeks, First of all, you literally just created the character (this morning for me), got a pistol and went on to mug someone in imperial which then falls under the robbery / raiding rule. Funny thing is, you're a Bonanno Main and the first thing I see you do is mug someone in Imperial. Your main characters enemy property! And eventhough, Imperial was empty no one was in there but you and the person who you put under FearRP, you could've just dragged him in the corner somewhere but no, you dragged your blindfolded guy on the street and drove him to the ghetto to continue your mug there. I mostly punished you for the mugging character because literally you create it, somehow find 4 guns which could be lucky but raised alot of concerns, then see 3 hours of no genuine roleplay that could indicate your character could be considered legit or a valuable character in the logs and then i see you tying up the victim, I banned you for two weeks because you had two prior offenses to mugging and I think you claiming that you met someone in prison was not true on this current character I issued the punishment for, You met someone in prison on your Johnny Curry character, could be a misunderstanding with these characters.

nigga ERP'd with an NPC

will be posting her IN CLOTHES

Yea lol Anzati's weird hahaha

Hi, there! Yes, I am the staff member that took your PET flags. In this case I took them as a last straw situation. I have had multiple encounters with you where you are building something in the wrong location, or building moving contraptions or dupes that you have been told are not allowed. You have open countless tickets trying to get many of these contraptions approved. One even has! This time, and the last three times I have had to tell you no moving builds were not approved. Your flags have already been removed prior. You were granted them back on a second chance. Since then, you have had received multiple warnings from myself and other staff and yet you still continued to do it. I appreciate your skill at building, I just wish you had put it towards ways that are allowed or that you have made the effort in the past to get approved.

Your Name: DiijitleNick / Romeo Morello SteamID: 76561199158685945 Staff Member involved: Yumeko What was blacklisted from you?: pet flags Reason for blacklist (if given): Prop usage during police chase Why should it be returned?: Im a active member at the blue lobster and a capos right hand I use props for so many things whether its my law office, the blue lobster dupe, firing pin and more Im so sorry I used these props I understand now that even though the prob didnt affect the outcome of the chase it still broke the RP and im truly sorry for such. I ask for a chance to show you that this was a one time event that will never happen again and that im not a minge to the server but a actual active member that contributes to the RP to the server. I worked so hard to grind the ingame money for this so I dont want to lose it. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/ktrFNNIKPkFJRkb6n?invite=cr-MSxIYm4sMjAxOTYzNDE4 clip of the situation

You have had multiple chances and not held your word, I among other staff members have seen you around not being improved like you claim. Due to your lack of responsibility for your actions and how this is likely to happen again if your flags are returned this will be denied. Your flag appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this blacklist to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.

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 3 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I have been back on the server for a while now and really enjoy it. I like moderating and did it a lot in the past. I think this would be fun and also I’d like to help. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I have a lot of experience on this server and have been around for a bit now. I also have experience staffing in the past. Since coming back, I’ve come to know the rules quite well to avoid any punishments. I’m also PR trained. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Yes, but my more prominent positions were over a couple years ago and I genuinely don’t remember all the names. I haven’t played many other servers than Diverge after I joined. But they do consist of UA PoliceRP where I was an admin and other PoliceRPs where I was higher up in staff as well. I was also a moderator here 2-3 years back. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes. Four times. Twice for item transfer over 2 years ago. Once for a PD Raid 2 years ago. And once for poor decisions almost 2 years ago. More info can be found in my ban appeal from a while back if needed. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I’d say I’m generally known in the community. Most people I come into contact with like me. It depends who you ask I guess. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Back when I initially joined the server and didn’t understand anything, I’d run around with Pistol P while he antagonized people. Good times. I also liked taking out Daniel Bonanno. No offense Askull. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Gozmouz ------------------------------------------------- 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 the person made a ticket, I would swap to my staff character and take the sit. 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? Just clip and report it. 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? It’s probably best just to avoid taking the ticket so there’s no question of bias in the sit. But if I’m the only staff on, I think it’d be appropriate to take the ticket and be unbiased.

Change the model of oil to the blue barrel or something so they look different in our inventory. Easy change

I got no conclusion on why M is concealed.

+1 tired of mixing my meth up with my oil

I think pendred should just do this as a donation thing like how he will change buildings. If someone wants to pay yk 200-300$ then sure i see no reason why not.

-1 no roleplay

Fyi you're not automatically labled as mugging char if you're not in a faction. Fyi. No you're not automatically considered a mugging char if you're not in a faction. I scrolled through logs over an hour and with the provided evidence there was little to no roleplay to consider your character a valid roleplaying character at the time, After all the evidence and scrolling I saw you had a main character which you did not mug on and it gave me the impression you mugged on a fresh char to avoid possible pk risk.

Thank you kindly.

We've decided go grant back your PET Flags since its more than a year, just keep in mind they are as easy to be removed again whenever you abuse them and most likely will be very hard to get them back. Your flag appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The blacklist will be lifted from your account shortly.

Lmao, idk what all this is I just want P Flags back lmao

Hello Dijitle, After discussing we came to a mutual agreement to grant back your petflags. Eventhough this was clear as day rulebreak we can see your regret therefore we want you to take this opportunity by showing that you will not abuse your flags in rp scenarios to gain unfair advantages and only use them for proper rp scenarios. We also want to remind you that taking them away is very easy if you abuse your flags and we do think in the future it will be very difficult to get them back. Your flag appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The blacklist will be lifted from your account shortly.

yeah uhm i know the reason why and i want to clean up my act and stop being retarted and use it for good reason

happy 4th of july yall

Your Name: HarryB^ SteamID: STEAM_0:0:65488 Staff Member involved: Byte What was blacklisted from you?: pet flags Reason for blacklist (if given): I spawned in an engine dupe that I thought was really cool and I let people fuck around and fling stuff with it, and the moving props could kill other players if they stepped inside the contraption Why should it be returned?: in IC regard: I put up lots of warning signs on the base of the engine saying they shouldn't walk on it at all in IC regard: I never flung any objects with it myself, it was not designed to do this and prior to today I had no idea it could do this in 99% of uses with my flags, I am doing things that are actually important icly and it was really stupid that I would gamble them just for a moment of goofing around with other people, letting them mess with something that even had the chance of propkilling them, especially because I didn't actually buy the flags, I traded them for a lot of really good stuff a very long time ago because I wasn't and I'm still not in a position to buy flags again for personal reasons Please consider I do not have the advantages that a lot of the people around me do, specifically money, and all the messing around was in good heart, at the end of the day we're playing garry's mod and I got lost in the fun we were having; nobody (to my knowledge) was bothered or hurt in the commotion of nonsense that followed, there was a bunch of people throwing milk cartons and chairs, other things; I was not among them yes, it is a roleplay server, and I've messed up before, but this time it was to nobody's loss except my own, in fact the first time somebody killed themself with it I was going to get rid of it but they wanted me to stick it around because they liked it, and the dude who died was pretty alright about it (Jarquavius Reginald III); I don't know what better to do for people to like me than to impress them because all it seems is like I've been stupid in every other realm than building; just the other day I made a working vault door for somebody's room in the ghetto

Alright, the only reason we took him to ghetto was because he radio' d to his faction that he was being robbed at Imperial and they were on the way. I have no idea who owns Imperial or that they were the Bonanno's enemies, so if you're implying it was targeted that's just false. I'm literally just an associate and wasn't hired too long ago, I don't know these things. I'm not really sure how to prove that I was actually RPing for those 3 hours, but do you really have any proof that I wasn't? And as far as the guns go, I literally found a shipment that was at 0 and the guys I met already had their own. I know I have past offences for fail-mugging but that doesn't really make me automatically guilty. My first ban I was pretty new to the server and some guy tried recruiting me to mug with him so I did, then proceeded to get banned because I didn't know what I was doing. After that I read over the mugging rules and tried again when I got back, but it seems that whenever somebody mugs on a character that isn't in a faction it's automatically labeled as a mugging character (which is why I was banned the second time). This time I really thought I played by every rule but here we are.

This is the evidence? It shows that there was 3 hours before I decided to mug someone, the entire time I was roleplaying. So please tell me because I don't see it in the rules anywhere, What's the minimum amount of hours a character needs before he's allowed to mug and its no longer considered a mugging character? Also what would make my character a "valid roleplaying character"??? What exactly do I need to do?

Yeah I had no idea that you were the same person, but now that you mention it I do remember that. Only reason I said "I knew we'd catch a Jew" is because while looking for a victim we were joking about finding some Jew with deep pockets. Just a coincidence, why would I target you? I don't even know you.

Like I said we were JOKING. Not like I have a vendetta against Kosher Nostra or we were specifically robbing Jews / members of your faction

Your Character or Steam Name: Darnell Brown Jr. Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:642511945 Your Discord ID#: malachite346 Reason for ban: Failmug / Mugging character Length of ban: 2 weeks Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute Why should you be unbanned?: Okay so, first of all Darnell Brown Jr. is NOT a mugging character and idk where you got that impression . I didn’t create the character specifically to mug, I created it yesterday morning and was playing on it and roleplaying all day before I met some people in prison and we decided to mug somebody when we got out. Also I don’t understand how it was a failmug, we initiated the mugging in a yellow zone, tied him up, threw him into our car & drove him to a nearby secluded area. There was nobody around when we initiated it. So please explain how it was a failmug??? The RP was there and as far as I know we broke no rules.
