discord is a pretty big source of metagame also I think we should get rid of it also nobody should have discord

Lately it just feels like powergame is being defined insanely broadly. I've read the rules but it seems like on all sides of RP lately be it crim or gov is just being widely voided. You can't use the laws as they're written if they're gonna hurt someone above made (even made cases get voided too really). If the case feels like it might have lasting meaningful effects due to faction negligence, that's worth a void. This one is actually happening a lot lately. Charges stemming from negligence will be dropped especially when dealing with technicalities -- a staple of law that was used to bring historically relevant mobsters to justice. The server has gotten insanely soft on this issue. You can't send UC's without meeting a long laundry list of criteria but if they're from an enemy alliance on an alt char that's powergame but it's conflict to send em if they have an allied alt (don't even get started on the cross-char consequences too that's a can of worms on its own). Engaging in lawfare will likely result in a void. You can't weaponize the court system as a mobster or scumbag lawyer anymore especially when it comes to large sums of money from long established characters or government officials. This argument isn't even complaining about how hard it is for the gov to sue factions it's actually the other way around. Even now cases against the gov are being voided for powergame. LegalRP has been a diverge staple and hallmark but it's constantly being eroded. Detectives being hamstringed. DA's office having its time wasted. And now even crim/civ lawyers can't bring cases to be a menace anymore. Nothing feels IC its always having to fight your case with UA and the Court at the same time it's just not fun anymore lately. Anyone have clarity or a way to fix this problem reasonably?

Your Character or Steam Name: Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:628592126 Your Discord ID#: crispytacos0438 Reason for ban: Unauthorized pd raid | Mugging Char | Extensive POs Length of ban: Permanently Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? Back when I played this server frequently, I was very immature and would just go around calling everyone the n-word, go on random mugs and troll. I was mostly focused on making money and robbing people on my main character and did stupid stuff on my alts. In this time I did really enjoy the roleplay aspect of the server, but I did break the rules on occasion by accident. Although I did try to avoid getting into these situations and breaking the rules, but I was always doing something stupid and would always get caught up. I've been banned now for a little over a year and I want to say that in this time i've really stepped away from gaming for the most part and matured as a person. I really do miss roleplaying on this server and all the fun I've had. If I get unbanned, I plan to roleplay and add to the servers experience instead of take away from it. If I come back to the server I won't be mugging at all, shouting at people for no reason, or breaking any rules. I plan to join a mafia again, meet new people and have the same fun I had when I started without being immature and making rash decisions. I really do regret all the stupid things I did in this server that led to me being perminately banned and I apologize for them. If this does get accepted I just wanna say that I will be coming back to the server with a different headspace. Not someone who wants to mass mug and minge, but someone who actually wants to enjoy what the server has to offer instead of just troll people. Also, for this specific ban in question, I came into the PD and started shooting at like 3-5 cops that was arresting one of my friends and ended up accidentally shooting him aswell. I was on an alt character being stupid and just trying to find any reason to kill someone and didn't realize that killing cops inside of the pd is considered a pd raid. Even though I was just being stupid, I genuinely was trying to stay within the rules of the server as I had just came off a permanent ban. In this particular situation, I was trying to kill the cops and save my friend but I clearly wasn't thinking straight. I had no intention of doing an "Unauthorized pd raid" and didn't even know that that was a thing. Since playing on this server i've matured a lot and will be coming back in a completely different way. If I get another chance to be apart of this server I can promise that I will contribute to this community. No more minge, muggings, harassing people, and doing stupid stuff. I will be coming back strictly to roleplay and have fun with the people in this community. Like I said previously, I've read the rules a few times over and can almost recite them by heart. I enjoyed the time I had on this server and it would mean a lot if I could comeback. I apologise to all the people I came at for their race, religion, gender, etc while playing this server. I would like a clean slate and I promise I won't let anyone down if I get unbanned. Note: I can take the diverge quiz to prove that I am well versed on the rules now Additional Information (images, videos, etc): I've deleted all my medal clips so I can't really show this last altercation

you're stupid. happy 2026

notice how the police force is fuming at this suggestion

ok sorry Sergeant Lorenzo Gallo, Member of Special Investigations of the Detectives Bureau of the 29th Precinct of the New York Police Department of Southside of Diverge -Lieutenant Alexander Price, Division Overseer of the Bureau of Internal Affairs of the 29th Precinct of the New York Police Department of Southside of Diverge

Mate cut it out -Sergeant Lorenzo Gallo, Member of Special Investigations of the Detectives Bureau of the 29th Precinct of the New York Police Department of Southside of Diverge

that was my joke actually -Lieutenant Alexander Price, Division Overseer of the Bureau of Internal Affairs of the 29th Precinct of the New York Police Department of Southside of Diverge

so we are stealing my jokes

Best server on Gmod, 3 hours of playtime,. MRDM + attempted ban evasion. Who are all your friends on the server that will help you turn a new leaf?

Fairly certain we had the same sort of appeal in 2024 when i accepted the perma unban. You took the second chance and threw it to the wind. I appreciate that you're keen on returning but since you've already thrown away chance(s) we gave you I have no guarantee that this time you'll actually play properly. The risk vs reward makes no sense. If you want more information as to how we can work towards an unban then make a ticket in the discord. If you're banned from the discord you'll need to figure out a way to reach us there, but for now I have no reason to accept this, or to trust you at your word.

Hello! As Ace already stated you had clearly already made yourself no longer a threat. I was able to corroborate this account of events from the Senior Officer present and listed in your appeal as well. In the future, be careful with your "warning shots". The officers could have reacted to the shot sooner and it would be valid or you could have faced staff punishment for RDM. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

+1 let this nigga back he will be serious i know it

I know I and at least a few others would be interested in being GMs and doing occasional mini events but aren't interested in being staff. The obvious main advantage to this is more roleplay in a city pretty much devoid of (good) roleplay currently. Literally just make it so GMs do not need to be staff to be GM and then more creative and impromptu roleplay events can take place.

Bro just do 20 tickets a week

un playable

@Fox you must give your response to this.

-1 DIAMOND ONLY BRITISH FACTION NEEDED BRING IT BACK

the biggest source of non actionable meta gaming in garrysmod mafia roleplay is the tab menu (FACT). I understand the implications of removing it from non staff characters but i believe the benefits ultimately outweigh the negatives. To check on your specific org instead of the regular tab menu on the business tab of your f1 menu shows the tab menu of just your faction (PD, Crim, civ, etc). thanks for reading.
