The escalation rules should be viewed as a shell and starting point, not a rigid checklist. UA looks at the full situation, all factions involved, and all relevant factors before making a determination, including faction size, recent hires, main character status, alt characters, and whether anyone is trying to gain an unfair advantage. The purpose of a lockdown / hire block is to prevent war jumping, temporary recruiting, and alt abuse. It also makes escalation uncomfortable for everyone involved, which should push factions toward a quicker resolution instead of letting the conflict drag out. If someone was actively maining a faction but never formally set it as their main, that is ultimately on the player and their faction leadership. If they were involved enough to be impacted by the escalation, they should have seen it coming and made sure their main was properly set. Leadership also has a responsibility to warn members before things reach that point. A lock can be adjusted or removed if UA believes the specific situation calls for it, but it should not be assumed. Unless UA clearly states otherwise, factions should treat the lockdown and main character requirements as active. In your case, you were scared because you thought Popov was going to PK you, so you left the faction to do hits for Supreme in another faction. Once you realized there was no orders you left the other faction and now are stuck as a civ. watching from the outside. If you want numbers.....at the start of the escalation Supreme had 140 alts(More than any other crim. faction) to Popov 30 alts, for mains there were 25 for Supreme and 13 for Popov...... this was taken into account during the main lock decision.

New gen freak of nature try hard gets trolled by scary auraful @String If you take GIFS in your DM's as a sign of "crashout" then you might be severely autistic and should be tested dude... String and I were in VC laughing our asses off when he was sending you them because WE KNEW you would sperg out like this LOCK IN GANG!!!!! SHIT AIN'T THAT DEEP!!!!

All of this is government propaganda and I will not stand for propaganda against String, still a +1!

Reminder that String made this staff app literally less than 12 hours after crashing out at AceAdmiral, Boosted, and me in general.

-1 I rarely speak out this strongly against giving someone another chance, but in this case, I feel it's necessary. Attached I've sent the recent DMs he sent me during the time to which I banned him. Besides that I'd like to say this. While he wasn't the worst staff member we've had, the team is currently running smoothly without him. We shouldn't lower our standards just to add more bodies. This is the Diverge of today, not a few years ago. He was recently banned and continues to disagree with the reasoning behind it. In his forum post, he simply dismissed it as "retarded." He lashes out angrily at anyone who personally disagrees with him. This level of reactivity is unprofessional for staff. Even in his likely response to post, he's likely to push back without any apology or politeness to me whom has been nothing but professional towards him throughout his ban that I administrated in good faith. That should say enough alone. As a staff member who's been here for nearly a year, I have zero notes on my account. He has over 30! A consistent pattern of bans and notes shows a lack of accountability or issues with emotional regulation which are essential for any staff member to have and maintain during their duties.

I'm the professional gambler here and I know for a fact 95% of this community doesn't know how to apply perfect roulette strategy so it's just a random stroke or luck unlike blackjack that requires some sort of skill and user input.

Its been days yet no response from the banning administrator with evidence or reasoning.

Oil and legal stocks that get established, sure. But, drug prices? Hyper cringe. Immersion broken. Fuck you. Soft +1 for an Oil/stock ticker to be placed in several spots in the Southside as a vague idea tho

Nice trolls only 1 HC character died and it was me and I got killed by askull "unc" vs peak no life ofc he wins idk where this whole HC thing came from and incase you did not notice the faction is not accepted so that matters non way shape or forum case the character was in another faction that got backdoored.

I had to fill in

+1 Kurt is simply the biggest steppa.

+1 we need a proper street gang plus this guy been a great don in the past

+1 I cant wait to do some gangbang(er) activities

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.

+1 yes need brits back asap

Niggas are mad about people not wanting to pay an IC bill

Mean to reply to Hydes Dad but, I would like to note that our backstory is definitely not AI Generated we worked on it for a good 40 minutes, If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

-1 already see them enough in my real city

-1 shit back story

+1 seems like great ideas. Ran into these guys a few times it was nothing but solid rp.

you can only use knives, melee weapons, and revolvers and the occasional hunting rifle

+1 pretty good lot of guys, seen them around for a bit and they seem cool.

I think that with the current state of the server the only Italian Family's to exist are large scale crime organizations with well over hundreds of members (which is fine since we are in the 80s and crime is at a high), but as we move closer to the 90s smaller scale family's/ glorified crews/ small outfits are starting to appear and hold out during crime crackdowns. The way that this application is written and made to sound is that they want to roleplay as the little guys who aren't immediately trying to make claims to anything. I think this kinda rp is lacking in the server since everyone and their mother wants to be Joe Pesci tough guys, I say give these guys a chance to try something else out rather than accept the next absurdly foreign faction cause that's what people think is game changingly different. (Keep in mind every different race faction promised to stand out and i genuinely don't see that happening a whole lot) Just something to think about

+1 not bad

+1

+1 good larper and i like it

how do you manage to get "community exiled" from a nazi rp?

Whatever pack you're smoking pass it along

+1 mother russia

+ 1 solid people with a solid plan

Name of Faction: The Callaghan Clan Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 25 Members and growing everyday Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc.): Mob Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Irish-American Name of Character running the faction: Kieran Callaghan Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): mamezee2233 Your SteamID: STEAM_0:0:189825768 Your Server playtime: 3w 1d 18h 33m 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): As an Irish faction, we plan on focusing on roleplay before grinding and becoming robots to quotas. Choosing to be a place where people can have a fresh experience on the server that hasn’t been done a hundred times. Doing special events for our Clan such as acquiring weapons to ship back home to our Fenian brothers who need our support in these dire times. Doing RP drug deals with other groups on the server. As well as other special Irish-themed RPs such as causing issues in the city by being obnoxious and drunken Irishmen. (This does not mean we will minge around but we aim to contribute to roleplay) With the experience that this high command of this faction has, we can produce a lot of organic roleplay that some others would rather not do. We aim to be a realistic Irish Mob doing events in whatever property we own, Handling any problems with RP always in mind and making sure our faction is thriving in all areas without pushing one objective over the other. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): As most people in the city do already there are obvious things such as weekly meetings, clan dinners, and organic Irish roleplay. But on top of that during the peak hours on the server, we will aim to contribute to roleplay with other factions. We plan on always being around going to different properties and trying to roleplay things out the best way possible. My goal is you will always see an Irishman at least once a day because we will be out walking on the streets. We want things to be anonymous when it comes to our new hires so taking them on drives without telling them where the destination is will encourage RP. We will teach all our new hires how to do whatever jobs need to be done and the basic grunt jobs that need /me’s to do them. It will define what kind of main base RP we do depending on what property we get. We would like to be hired to cause harm to people who need to be taught a lesson. I would also give Gamemaster privileges to use my faction in events where there is a chance for a lot of RP to happen. If accepted, we plan on making this a strong faction that will not be like other Irish factions that have been on the server before. We will bounce off of the Italian RPers and try and make a fun experience for everyone in each faction.

+1 kewl dudes

I would rather see this faction running around than a cassano remake

Here's the more accurate AI detector. Your application is AI written or partially written.

Of Course!

+1 everything ive seen from davey so far is great

"Whole lotta killing , whole lotta mugging" true and real +!1 !

-1 this is retarded af

-1 90 hours playtime lol

+1 Great roleplay would love to see an Irish faction.

+1 this boutta be insane

+1

+1 History speaks for itself. Most factions that are around that long, fall on hard times once in a while. The Cassano's have been one of the pinnacles of mafiarp for many years in the past, there's no reason it can't return to its former glory.

+1 I don’t think i need to glaze but i do 100% believe he is capable of changing the legal rp and bring people to that side of the server.

You're a real one for not hating, Thank you tonz

Thank you G, Long live Mark Diaz.

-1. Too many Italians.

+1 wow guys application so good I had to +1 it on two separate websites!
