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.

all of this is government propaganda and i will not stand for propaganda against string still a +1

That and the slots please. $100 or $1000 slots please not the garbage $10

random glazing bullets, its enough gng, idk who u are, if you want i can sign a personal item of yours for 50k and make it out to your name austin, have a good day fan

What a shame. Perhaps the rape inc faction will see more success

Nazi LARPer +1

-1 Horrible idea, no offense. Better idea is to add more ways for us to illegally gamble instead of focusing on the casino so much, player interaction and shootouts over people loosing money could be really fun and MAYBE another way to introduce pk's and stuff. I say add the new games to rackets letting players spawn while maybe add just like slot machine or keep blackjack there but give us poker and craps, etc that we can place down ourselves to make money Also gives PD another new way to bust people illegally gambling and shit.

+1 Amazing roleplay vamanos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-1

+1

-1 Not that much of a backstory.

-1 Too many italians

-1 Although its a good app I don't understand how too many Italians means adding another one? even if you're planning to bring back OG ways. Goodluck though man

+1 I am surprised this application has not been accepted yet, the potential of roleplay would be astronomical.

The clothing tailor side will give a far more diverse RP option to buying suits, taking the measurements of each customer of course wouldnt change genuine size of the suit but will give a different and more unique way to buy their clothing as we will personally be guiding them through their purchase in an RP sense, instead of just simply looking at a catalogue buying the clothes and leaving with 0 RP. This would include, taking measurements, asking which fabrics they would prefer, lining details, button quantity, us noting the customers posture over just their standard height and shape to ensure the suits fit them in the best way and much more. As I said it has no visual change whatsoever but that is why we RP. To play out these scenarios Hope this clears it up

Its abundantly clear you are my fan, I've never heard of you and you know so much about me. Let me know when your second property gets seized because you lack activity.

I’ve been feining for an authentic Irish coffee. +1

+1 more italian factions please

Bit of a slow day but, I'd just like to say I appreciate everyone who's given they're personal opinions on the application, positive or not. As of July 23rd, we have 80 people within the discord.

+1 Really detailed app with some great role-players. Seems like a very well structured family with a great backstory.

idk im neutral leaning towards a -1 i think the app is well written and it reads well, me personally i like that you want to try and add more rp elements its just the actual application of your ideas for Gmod and the way the server is setup i dont know how well those would work. Ultimately in my opinion i like the ideas but i just dont see them working, plus we have several italian factions as is and i think itd be nice to see some more variety or more unique factions.

wtf -1

+1 but only if he wins a squid game on his first try, all my top Robloxians would be able able to has to pay 30000 robux to pendred as well!

huge fan of this idea!

+1 Solid application! owner shows a strong understanding of the server and faction politics. I'm excited to see what they bring to the table.

+1 yes russki

+1 black rp black olympics

terrible name but i like the dupes

+1, Good app, good organization, Rossiyskaya Imperiya +1

+1 Minorities for the win

+1 add some supreme sweaters shit would be fyre this is sum id join names kinda wild tho

-1 Just checked this myself. Some slides only have a few AI phrases, some slides are almost entirely so. It's patched in like anzati says. If you can't put in the effort in this, can you be expected to put in the effort when you need to run an entire faction? I'd suggest reworking your background to something that's entirely written by you if this is really true.

+1 You'll definitely see me putting a character in this faction!

didnt ask monkey hop off the dick

+1 Amazing roleplayer, good faction idea, very fun!

+1 on this. Good application and I enjoyed reading the backstory and proposed hierarchy.

+1 Solid idea and i would love to see this come to fruition in hopes we get an actual official active boxing league

Crazy seeing me here huh? I think Flamingo could bring back some really good RP that the server is missing you have my +1 sir and good luck to your faction.

Honestly, this is a solid application. Your time is a little low, but I’m curious to hear what your experience on the server is.

+1 Yuh

+1 As the Head of HR for Rockefeller Oil, this is a well done app from what it seems, you did an amazing job with the back story, and the brochure is a beautiful touch, would love to see some healthy competition in the oil market!

+1 Gang!

+1 great prior experience with these guys, have more roleplay than some of the current factions in this server
