In-Game Name(s): Danny Silvershine, Daniel K. Park, Adrian Nakamura Steam Name: Psykho Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/RealPsykho/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:95772378 Discord Username: Psykho Age: 25 When did you first join the server: Back in December Total playtime on our Servers: 550+ Hours across all characters Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating? At least 15-20 hours per week, possibly more depending on volume and server needs. Have you read the rules? Yes. I’ve read through the general rules, PK guidelines, and a lot about general legal RP on the server. I also recently took a long-form quiz on the fundamental rules and passed with a high score. Do you have a working microphone? Yes, I have several working microphones. Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? Yes, I acknowledge this and will do my best to fulfill the needs of the community by meeting this quota. Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands? Not all of them entirely, but I am used to several admin-related systems and can adapt easily. Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff? Yes, I acknowledge that the truth is important. ___________________________________ Long Answer Questions: What is your motivation/reason for applying? My main motivation for applying is to enhance and protect the experience of my fellow players on Diverge. Roleplay can already be challenging at times, and I’ve personally experienced moments where I needed staff assistance but had trouble getting it. With over 8,400 hours in Garry’s Mod and a strong desire to help others, I feel a genuine sense of duty to give back to the community that has given me so many great moments. I want to be the reliable staff member who ensures everyone can enjoy their time on the server without unnecessary disruptions. Why should you be considered over other candidates? I believe I should be considered because I am highly accountable, have no ego, and maintain a strong growth mindset. I hold myself to high standards and am always hungry to learn more. Beyond general GMod experience, I bring deep knowledge from my roles in the Courts, Bar Association, police department, and both legal and illegal businesses- knowledge that not even some current admins possess. While I don’t see myself as better than anyone, I am confident in what I know and how I can contribute meaningfully to the staff team through my experience, merit, and dedication. Do you have any previous staffing experience? Yes. This server was built in part by Canadian Bacon, who I staffed with years ago. When we were teenagers, we both served as admins on a server called Chronet, handling in-game admin duties as well as forum work such as appeals and ban requests. I was there for at least a year, possibly closer to two. After Chronet, I staffed on several other Garry’s Mod servers, though I don’t remember every detail of those positions anymore. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why? No, I have never been banned or received any warnings or rule punishments on your servers. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you? Yes, I would say I am fairly well known in the community. Many players recognize my characters, whether as the fair/teacher cop Danny Silvershine, the prosecutor Daniel K. Park in the courtroom, or Adrian Nakamura as a lawyer, arms dealer, and mechanic. Across all of these roles I’ve focused on creating and empowering roleplay for others while treating everyone with kindness and respect. Even when there is in-character conflict, I never let it create out-of-character bias. I believe most community members see me as fair, consistent, and someone who genuinely enjoys bringing positive energy to the server. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far? I have quite a few favorite moments, but the ones that stand out the most are the times I’ve been promoted, whether it was at the District Attorney’s Office, within the police department, or inside various crime factions. There’s something very satisfying about seeing all the hard work and dedication pay off and get officially acknowledged by the community and leadership. Have any staff members recommended you? Not at this time. I haven’t made any staff members aware that I’ve applied yet. I plan to reach out privately to those I know for support once this application is submitted. I prefer not to name-drop or create any sense of open bias, that’s simply not how I like to conduct myself. ___________________________________ Problem Solving: Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this? If I am able to hop on duty without interrupting important roleplay, I will do so and take the ticket directly. If I am currently in the middle of active roleplay, I will keep an eye on the ticket queue and the flow of tickets being accepted by on-duty staff. Once my roleplay concludes, if the ticket is still open, I will request that the player remake the ticket so I can take it properly while on duty. If the admin system allows for better handling of off-duty situations, I will quickly learn and adapt to that method to ensure the situation is addressed efficiently and fairly. 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? The first step I would take is to speak with them privately in a calm and respectful manner. There may be context I’m unaware of, and addressing it directly like a fellow team member can often resolve the issue without escalating unnecessarily. I would explain what I’ve observed and give them the opportunity to clarify or correct the behavior. If the issue continues after our conversation, I would then escalate it to higher staff following proper protocol, always prioritizing the integrity of the staff team and the community. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. How do you proceed knowing this? It doesn’t matter how well I know the person or what my personal experience with them is- everyone must be treated fairly and equally under the rules. If no other staff member is available to take the ticket and it falls to me, I will handle it with complete impartiality, judging only based on the evidence and server rules. If at any point I feel that my personal connection could create even the appearance of bias, I will immediately disclose this to fellow staff members and recuse myself from the ticket to ensure fairness. Maintaining trust in the staff team is more important than any personal relationship.

Your Character or Steam Name: Medinator Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): Your Discord ID#: medinator Reason for ban: char abuse Length of ban: 4 days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute Why should you be unbanned?: i gave away my bank account to saurkraut which had over 1-2 million worth of items 10+ suits and among the crowd of items was a mint suit, i was gifted out of support of my new endeavors another copy of a mint suit which was a major surprise to me and incredibly excited for and now its being declared as "item transfer/char abuse" which i believe is a really hard stretch as there was legit no conversation around the suit and purely a surprise moment as he just gave it to me im not saying theres an inherent bias behind the ban but it couldve been literally ANYONE else that isnt currently involved with the drama that is taking place in the server which heavily involves me and the banning members faction after speaking with the banning person they say how it overall looks suspicious but cannot mention official ground that there was anything illicit behind it which kinda just doesnt make sense to ban over suspicion especially when its under the factors of the current drama present Additional Information (images, videos, etc): N/A

In-Game Name(s): Patrick G. Kennedy, Joey Giordano, Assistant District Attorney Declan Duffy, Senior Officer Xi Yaobang, Commerce Regulator Thomas J. Gallagher Steam Name: Patr1ck_K3nnedy Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Patrick_Kennedy Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:185033303 Discord Username: therollingminecart Age: 19 When did you first join the server: 2022 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): I am writing this while on a train out of town, so I don’t have the exact number, but I had over a month of playtime the last time I checked. Time Zone: CST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: I am doing school online, so quite a bit. Have you read the rules?: I have Do you have a working microphone?: I do 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?: I am 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 applying for staff because I am often on very late at night where there will still be 40-60 people on the server, but often no staff. I see minges beating people with bats or repeatedly breaking NLR with no staff to stop them; sometimes I’ll want to make a PK ticket or report ltarp and there is will be no staff on to take the ticket. I’d like to help out by being available during those times where other staff are sleeping, and I think having staff available at those times would also encourage people to RP more during those hours as some people avoid being on at late hours due to the lack of moderation. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I think I should be considered over other candidates because I thoroughly know the rules, because I have been long enough to know how the rules are supposed to be applied, and because of my availability. More than just reading the rules, I have learned the technicalities and specifics of how rules are supposed to be applied and the expectations that UA have for how and when rules should be enforced, from the simple cases of things like RDM and LTARP, to lesser-known rules regarding the government and the courts. I have learned the rules very well, will conduct myself well, and I am already familiar with nutscript commands and the stick. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I have never been staff on a “major” server before, so I honestly don’t remember any server names, but I have been staff on some crappy nutscript startups, which at least allowed me to become familiar with all the commands. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have not been banned before. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I am certainly well-known in the community, some people love me, some people not so much. From running the City Council and my Newspaper/News Show years ago, to being the District Attorney for a while, to being a Capo in the commission up until a couple months ago, I think I am at least decently well-known in every crevice of our community. I'm certainly known for doing good RP in general, and have a pretty good reputation besides one kind of half exception regarding a few people in PD who still dislike me because of some of the more unorthodox RP I did as DA. Overall though, I am known enough in the community, my reputation is generally pretty good, and the only people who think down of me is because of RP beef, which is cringe to take across characters. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: I am not sure if I could say one favorite moment here on Diverge. I’ve enjoyed lots of RP, from conducting independent criminal investigations as a cop, to going to all sorts of parties as a mafioso, to hitting the mattresses and going to war as a criminal. Honestly, much of my fun on Diverge comes from hanging out with and talking to other people. The server has a slower pace than most places and people aren’t constantly in conflict, and I think that’s one of the things that makes this place so great. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: I was playing in the middle of the night I believe last week, and there was a console message saying to put Pendred as a recommendation if I was on late enough to see it; that’s the main reason i’m applying. ------------------------------------------------- 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 someone RDMs me and I am off-duty, I would take a clip and ask a different member of staff to handle the situation. Unless I am the only staff on, I think handling it myself would be inappropriate. 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?: If I see another staff member abusing, I would clip the abuse and screenshot any pertinent logs before sending the evidence to an appropriately high staff member. 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?: If I am handling an RDM ticket and my friend is accused of RDM and minging, I would proceed like any other staff sit. I would ask for a clip and reference everything with the logs and then punish him if necessary. I will treat all players, friends or not, the same when it comes to staff members, and any friends I have that get mad that I warn/ban them for RDM when they do RDM are too dumb to be my friend.

Hello person who pked you here! Reason I knew you were up there is: You were actively shooting down at me while I was already engaged in a gunfight with two other people that I had just dealt with. I physically saw your head peeking over the edge of the roof multiple times confirming someone was holding the angle up there. On top of all of this I could clearly identify the bullet trails coming from the roof leading to me to hide around the wall near the bush. I can also tell based on the weapon it was a MPL being fired from above me from your roof. This wasnt all a guess it was a repeated fire coming from that exact rooftop leading to me having the rights to shoot whoever was up there (Confrimed with staff first). Because of all this I had a choice to push the rooftops and clear them as you were a active threat to my life considering my UB just got PKed. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/muee57L43YSTfEod3?invite=cr-MSx2amMsMjUwOTg2Mzg3&v=18 Here is a clip of this interaction. You can clearly see me turn to the rooftops where you shot me from.

Ban Appeal - matt^ Character or Steam Name: matt^ SteamID: 76561198141191082 Discord ID#: therealboogieboy Reason for ban: Metagaming/Ban Evasion Length of ban: 24hrs/perma Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Firstly, I'd like to begin my reason for appeal by apologizing for my actions that have caused this ban. I understand that my initial ban was due to metagaming. I have reconciled and now have grown more knowledge on how to create a positive roleplay environment within the server. My actions affected both the community and staff. Secondly, the ban on evasion. I joined on my alt account, already thinking my ban was up. I wanted to begin on a new account to close the chapter on everything that had happened previously. I made a mistake thinking my ban was up an hour before it actually was. I can assure you that this mistake won't happen again, as I will not put myself in a situation for that to occur. If I am given another chance, I will make sure to adhere to and also educate others on the server rules if I see others making infractions. I have really enjoyed my time on this server. This community has been an outlet for new friendships and memories. If I do receive another chance, I will prove my ability to contribute to a positive environment. Why should you be unbanned?: I believe that I should be unbanned due to the time I have dedicated to reflecting on my actions, as well as my time understanding the rules further. I understand that both of the reasons I was banned have a negative impact on the experience of others. My actions undermined the rules of this server. My regret is immense as I understand the effects my actions have caused others. I’m not pursuing this ban appeal without reason. I ask for your forgiveness because I have now committed myself to changing my behavior. If allowed back, I will make sure to follow all rules as well as respect staff decisions. I do understand that trust has to be earned, and I am very willing to prove myself to everyone that I can do better. I have really enjoyed being a part of this community, and I would appreciate the opportunity to re-integrate into the server and show my peers that this was a one-time mistake.

Hello, Pking Admin Here You were indeed PK’d for your involvement during a hit. From the clips I have reviewed, you attempted to kill an individual during an active PK situation, which led to them confirming with staff whether they could also kill you. As you mentioned, you were then assassinated from rooftop to rooftop. The rules relevant to this situation are as follows, directly copied from the PK Guidelines, which form the basis of my decision. Being killed while trying to PK someone If you are attempting to PK someone, you are also considered PK active during the hit. This means that if you are attempting to kill, or have just killed, the victim but are then killed yourself, you are also subject to a PK. Therefore, you should not be reckless when carrying out these serious actions. This includes being killed by a third party acting in defense of the victim, or by a police officer attempting to apprehend you shortly after the hit takes place. As the hitman, your objective is to carry out the hit and escape the area, remaining hidden for the next 15 minutes. You may not disconnect until this minimum timer has expired, and doing so to avoid death will result in a PK for LTAP. During the hit, you, Arturo Bonnano, opened fire on the individual who had killed your ally. This satisfied the criteria for acting in defence of a victim. After failing to kill him, you were then killed by the same individual due to your participation in the PK.

I want to know what might have been transferred, or what fault I have in item transferring. Why should you be unbanned?: I'm not particularly asking to be unbanned, I want to know the full gravity of the situation and better understand my faults with this scenario.

+1 good dude, good rp'er

if someone with premium tries to join it kicks someone who doesnt have donator i believe this is a needed update because it adds an incentive to people on the server to buy donator, this HAS to be added and you cant name any negatives about this

When you take lsd you start seeing combine you need fight (they can kill you only you can see them) When you take queludes you just get alcohol effect when you take meth you start seeing antlions and spiders and there is constant itching animation when you take heroin you fallover for 30 seconds and watever gif pendred last sent in the server is what is on your screen for the rest of the time Weed you cant stop coughing When you take cocaine you get speed boost (you might already forgot physical effects) you start yapping hella anytime you type you scream and controls are inverted

-1, would kick @Mike Brown from the server and in doing so remove extremely high quality RP

Name of Character: Arturo Bonanno Character ID: I don't remember SteamID: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Jitq/ Your Discord ID#: ibullets. Date of PK: April 10th Reason for PK: I think involvement in a PK Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: So for starters, I'm not entirely sure what I was PK'd for because when I was pulled to an admin sit they just said I was dying. This is from my understanding; I was PK'd because a Bonanno hitman PK'd Declan Kinahan because somebody reached out and asked for help. How we got him set active was Alfredo Zappa went and spoke to the Boss of the Irish Mob and he wrote orders to Zappa, I then was DM'd the screenshot of these orders and forwarded them to Yugi for convenience sake because Yugi was already DMing me earlier. So Gerry Bucco takes out Declan and Zappa tries to save Gerry from Silvano Altoviti so he begins shooting him, they both die. Silvano then runs to the top of Napoli and shoots and kills me from across the street, thats is when I was pulled to an admin sit by Yugi and was told I am being PK'd. I was just told to appeal the PK by Pendred and some other parties, I don't really expect an unPK but it is worth a shot. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines:

After further consideration, I'd like to close this appeal please.
