I get where you’re coming from, and I agree that the racket events are one of the most active and exciting events we get all year. But I honestly think part of what made it so intense and fun was the actual risk involved, like getting a felony and/or getting a pk. It forced factions to plan smarter and actually think through their hits instead of just treating it like a 3 day free-for-all. There also wasn't an insane number of cops on, and those who were out were being pretty tame because they would typically have to confront people in large groups (I watched several just outright get smoked). Deacon on the roof was a bit much, but it did make it more fun. It added another layer to account for, such as sightlines, which drove engagement from those participating. Can certainly see some areas where more structure is needed, though. TDLR: Risks made it more fun, but there is always room for improvement.3 points

Let me just say this straight up! Racket event is the best time in the city. Period. For anyone confused on what a racket even is, it is the drug your faction unlocks and shares across your whole family. That is months of work sometimes. You start at garbage tier like qualuades, then move up to lsd, then meth, then heroin, then weed, and coke sitting at the top. That climb is the grind. That is the reward. When the racket event hits, it is not random chaos. It is factions fighting for progression. It is organization, numbers, strategy, loyalty. It is one of the only times the entire server feels alive at once. And that is exactly why PD involvement needs structure. First point, PKs Permanent kills during a racket event should be extremely controlled. If you kill a cop on ground level and that same cop gets you back in the same engagement, fine. That makes sense. That is direct action, direct consequence. What does not make sense is rooftop overwatch turning the event into a shooting gallery. We should not have Deacon Whitestone playing American Sniper from a building three blocks away wiping entire pushes. That is not RP. That is not balanced. That is not what the event is about. There should also be off limits zones for PD during racket events. for example Tunnels. Sewers. Certain interior locations on private properties. These areas should be faction war space. Let us fight each other. That is the whole point. Second point, felony charges I get it. Cops love their felons. They love stacking charges. They love the paperwork RP. Cool. You have 300 plus days out of the year to do that. Racket event lasts three days. Three. For those three days, felonies should be suspended or heavily limited. The amount of work the staff team puts into organizing this event is insane. The RP setups, the planned hits, the coordination. Just for it to get nullified because someone got hit with five felonies and sat in a cell while their whole faction fights. That kills momentum. It kills morale. It kills the event. This is not about removing PD completely. This is about understanding that the event is bigger than normal patrol gameplay. Let the factions cook. Third point, jail time scaling Nobody should be sitting for 49 minutes in the middle of a once in a blue moon racket war. That is absurd. Cap it. Tier 1 five minutes Lower level crimes. Failure to comply. Simple possession of a firearm with no discharge. Technical felon in possession with no violence. Tier 2 ten minutes Discharging a weapon. Failure to comply while armed. More aggressive behavior but no confirmed kills. Tier 3 fifteen minutes Actual killings in city. Heavy drug possession during the event. Extra weapon attachments. The worst of the worst during the three day window. Fifteen minutes max. In RP that is fifteen years. That is enough. The goal is not to make crime free paradise. The goal is to keep the event flowing. If someone gets grabbed, they do short time and get back to their faction. The war continues. The grind continues. Racket event is about progression. It is about factions earning better product. It is about activity and numbers and pride. Do not let over policing turn the best event on the server into a jail simulator. Let the people who grind enjoy the event. Just ideas btw, dont kill me.2 points

In-Game Name(s): Jarvis Reginald, Senior Officer Rinnie Long, Clerical Assistant Henie Gernie, Val Gerno Steam Name: bern Steam Profile Link: Profile Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:657697492 Discord Username: wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Age: 24 When did you first join the server: November 2025 Total playtime on our Servers: 3 weeks, 3 days. Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 5-8 Hours Daily. 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, but I am willing to learn. 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 am motivated to provide a better environment for the server. I know there are already many staff members who do this already, but another set of hands to help never hurts. I truly enjoy the nature of the role play on the server, and I want to help preserve it by being able to enforce the rules in a larger capacity. I am also motivated to help guide new players when they have questions, concerns, or issues with the server. I often feel as if newer players are overlooked, and I want to help change that. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I believe that I should be picked over other applicants because of my ability to stay calm, collected, and unbiased. I am equipped and mature enough to handle situations in a professional manner. I think that I can fairly staff the server and provide help and support to the playerbase. Do you have any previous staffing experience?: I staffed Icefuse SWRP for about a month as a moderator. ( Was awhile ago ) Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I am pretty well known in game. My character Jarvis Reginald is pretty recognizable to a lot of people. Also my other name Bernie Gernie. I would say that I built a pretty good reputation within my faction and other allied factions. A lot of other community members are pretty fond of me, and I have made a lot of friends in the community. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: So far, my favorite moment has been the racket war event. The PvP was a ton of fun, and I was really engaged working with my faction. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: joeeeey1 and peeboy. ------------------------------------------------- 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?: Clip the incident, and report it to another staff member. If no staff members are available in game, I would make a forum report. 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?: Clip and save all of the evidence, make a staff report, and wait for UA to handle the situation. If the abuse was more severe, I would report it directly to a UA member through a ticket or DMs. 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 proceed completely unbiased and would make decisions based on the evidence provided. I would not let the accused player off without a warning / punishment just because they are my friend.1 point

Your Character or Steam Name blackman Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): 76561199311495704 Your Discord ID#: j127ake Reason for ban: ban evading Length of ban:perma Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Why should you be unbanned? I want to express my regret and explain my actions regarding ban evasion and lying to staff. That is not to justify my actions and saying that my actions were right. Deciding to evade the ban and then lying is entirely my fault. I understand how this loses the trust of staff and how this is a waste of time, so I accept all criticism regarding this. I like being on the server and participating in the RP, and I messed this up on myself for not handling the situation. If I receive a chance, I would comply with the server rules and be truthful to the staff and ensure this won't happen again. I understand your decisions and want to thank you for your time.1 point

If you think the racket event is the best time in the city go play a pvp server or some shit idk1 point

give me your location i have a warrant On a serious note, the only ones copping a fuckton of charges were usually the ones carrying drugs and guns they shouldnt have had (ie felons or non-licensed). Have baggies of coke on you? Yeah thats a felony lol. Class 4's? Yeah that's a felony (surprising amount of molotovs during the event btw). I can maybe understand Deacon being on a rooftop with a sniper that shit might actually be a little gay that should get nerfed. But that's the thing if youre gonna do crime, you gotta shoot and scoot. We can't arrest a whole crowd nor can we kill the whole crowd. Personally I mostly stayed at the PD to do forensics since there were so many arrests. I think out of the whole thing, an arrest I personally did that led to a PK was about 2. There were others where I explained the relevant charges but really outside of that not a whole lot of people were being pked that I saw.1 point

As someone who mained cop throughout the whole racket war there was maybe 3 PEOPLE total that wanted to stack felony charges on people, the vast majority of us including me were letting people off with unlawful discharge and unlawful open carry (2 misdemeanors) the only people that got MASSIVE charges were people that were carrying class 4s around specifically molotovs (which was retarded) as long as you weren't being a retard and carrying a class 4 you got out within 10 minutes (unless arrested by rick o'shea)1 point

Name of Character: Togna Balogna Character ID: 120937 SteamID: 76561198172421441 Your Discord ID#: LimpDickStalker Date of PK: 02/19/26 Reason for PK: Alleged involvement in illegal drug manufacturing and illegal property ownership as a felon. Why should you be unPK’d? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: On the night of the incident, I was briefly AFK while getting my family ready for bed, as it was late. When I returned, multiple officers were already at my property and questioning me. I informed them I had just returned and was about to log off. I was then told I was not free to leave, and RP was initiated. To avoid any LTARP violation and because I value my character’s life, I fully complied with all instructions. Officers searched the property and found illegal plants in the basement. Following this discovery, I was detained and fingerprinted. After running my prints, they confirmed that my fingerprints were not on the doors connected to the grow operation. After confirming there was no fingerprint evidence tying me to the plants, they attempted to have me sign off on the charges. I did not accept or sign any charges. At no point was I provided a lawyer, despite being told one would be provided if I did not have one. I was also not given an opportunity to contact one myself. No formal conviction or completed legal process occurred. By this time, the situation had been ongoing for nearly 30 minutes. I had already mentioned I needed to log off due to it being late. To ensure transparency and avoid any rule violations, I created a staff ticket explaining that the situation had lasted over 20 minutes and that I needed to log off. I apologized in the ticket before disconnecting. Despite No fingerprint evidence linking me to the illegal plants No signed or accepted charges No legal counsel provided No formal conviction My character was permanently killed I believe the PK did not meet the evidentiary or due process standards required for a permanent kill. I respectfully request review the situation and relevant logs. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: N/A0 points

Name of Character:Senior Officer John Halpert Character ID:Unknown SteamID: 76561199095602517 Your Discord ID# :548701026363113475 Date of PK:2/20/2026 Reason for PK:The reason that was stated was for transfering money between chars with help with a char in the middle, with my other char not my main police one i got sentanced to life with no chance of wining so i took my loss and just accepted BUT i had money on me and my lawyer was a public defender so i ended up giving the public defender the last of my money (100K) Then as my Char got PKed i hopped onto my police char to joke around saying how they just imprisoned my cousin for life then i ended up hopping off. Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?:I have no idea after i switched chars i never told the person to give me the money back as i was afk you could ask the guy himself and the other officer there also i find it kinda insane for me to come back after work to a misunderstanding in which i have basicly been shut out hopefully i get un PKed seeing that it wasn't my doing.-1 points
