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.

Yea I did make two. The first time was directly after my last appeal was denied and I was told that I could pay the toll at a lower price or I could wait and re appeal. The ss is from the second ticket I made where I tried to ask for a lower price, you can see that I was unsuccessful.

-1 has 33 notes, props blacklisted, 3 bans this year so far, and had a perma for mass rdm. Not sure why he would even apply. Never had any actual good interactions with this player. Not fit for staff at all.

-1 theme park faction like most of the ones out right now, just some bs with an ethnic origin

+1 Good people

+1 again for the haters

I appreciate the feedback. I'm sorry to hear you didn't like the origin story if you have any more questions feel free to reach out. Your feedback will be taken into account.

same guy by the way

As someone who ran pretty much the only successful British faction for a number of years, i'll give you my input. +1 - I think the app is pretty decent, and I wish you guys all the best. PRO - Diverse, it's great to see someone else attempt a British faction. - Play time seems alright. - I liked the backstory to a degree, although it does have some issues. CON - The breaks in the backstory are frustrating and some of them don't really add anything to the story. IMO you'd benefit from bigger time gaps, to add more text to your paragraphs. - I don't think you give enough examples of how you intend to be different from other factions. The VIP club thing is actually something we used to do weirdly lol. I'd like to hear more about your proposed business ideas, if you're steering clear of violence for a more business approach, how? you mention you want to steer clear away from standing around RP but by owning a club, you're going to end up with standing around RP. Considerations - Take it from me, you should decide early on if you're going to try and get people to talk in an english accent, or just the main guys etc. In TDS, I benefited greatly from the high command being actually British (for the most part) because trying to do this down the lines flops extremely hard. - You mentioned a gentlemen's club, don't put poles in it for the love of God - learn from my mistake lmfao. - Fuck Billy Kimber, here's what happened to the last Kimber. https://streamable.com/fu3qcz

I appreciate the feed back and I totally agree with restaurant rp. Our vision goes further than just your average bar, lounge or restaurant. If you'd like to get more info feel free to reach out. I hope to see you in the city and get some good rp going.

+1 they have been active by running a bread stand in park they would be a good addition and would add diversity

+1 they're already doing stuff in the city and they've been pretty cool. They do good rp as well.

-1 too many wops

+1 Will do fine as a faction!

+1 i wop rp

Im sold +1

I really do not like you using centered text alignment in your background doc. That is all.

He's getting a cheeky Nandos probs

?1 I love burritos.

-1 worse than ccng

Could of course use some grammar improvements in the lore, but I think it has really good bones from what I've seen of them in-game. I also think nohardfeelings has overall been playing long enough and would do good as a leader of a faction. + 1

choose a better name before i flame you guys in rumor. (+1)

Major +1 Very creative and detailed as well. You seem to have a solid plan and to have it as part of the underworld will also be interesting. Your time on the server is pretty good, having dupes built are pretty dope too. It’s nice to see a faction not completely centred on being a crime faction but have other aspects of revenue/attention.

+1 Would love to see a new Russian faction in city, hopefully this one will turn out better than the others.

Hope if you guys get accepted you're going to peform stronger than Odessa. +1

+1 BPs best friend. I think Tobins has the right view on how to run a faction and run this faction idea specifically. He has been putting in a lot of time in trying to get this off the ground and has a lot of dedicated people helping him out as well. I think this has a chance to bring back the true Russian Mafia RP styles and be a worthwhile faction.

+1 Need some Russian Storylines in this city. Would like to see how they go about it as the previous ones have failed but knowing who's to lead this I see them being able to keep it alive. Great District application. Joking.

+1 - Bring more oil!!

AI checker said 2.08%- more like I wrote only 2.08% 🫨

+1, basel himself has loads of experience running factions, beyond that I have spoken to him ingame on the character he plans to run this faction with and I can confidently say I'm sure he will do a wonderful job doing such.

+1 Legal faction great idea. I think we need a couple more legal factions.

It's cool to see African American RP that doesn't devolve into Blood v Crips RP. Massive +1

-1, faction is being made just to be under Olympus as another alt faction. The unique rp being provided is already provided by others. Are you trying to be a legal faction or an illegal one? You claim to be an organization, but that's extremely vague.

+1 great roleplayers who love to roleplay as the cassano crime syndicate -mards/mayor davis/grandmaster kenshi

-1. Attempts # 7 now?

Im not able to check my play time but last I checked, it was over 3 weeks lmfao my bad

+1 good rper, good application, good backstory, would be a great addition to the server

+1 A good leader always had the best RP nothing but positives if this gets added

Basel returns and brings oil with him. +1

+1 I cannot claim to have been around to see the Cassanos in their previous tenure on the server, but the massive amount of support speaks for itself. I went in to read the lore and watch the clips. I can tell simply by absorbing these things that the people in this particular part of the community have a deep passion for the art of roleplaying. I feel that the Cassanos will add something special to the server and would love the opportunity to roleplay alongside them, should they make it in. But let's be real, they will. They're great and I have no doubt it'll be led fantastically. Good luck to your faction!

+1 I would be very interested to see how this faction impacts the legal roleplay aspect of the server and the broader rp environment as a whole. It seems like they've got their stuff sorted so I think it's worth a shot.

+1 Cassano!
