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.

First of all thank you for respond and sharing what you know. However I wasnt asking this question specifically about the Popov x Supreme situation. I asked it because despite spending hours and days researching it i couldnt even find any clear rule or official information on the topic. Like you also mentioned nobody really knows the official “ruleset” behind how faction lock is used/works in conflict so I thought it would be better if someone from the UA or Canadian side could give a proper clarification for everyone. Other than that i definitely agree with your points regarding the system being fair ETC. But if we take the Popov x Supreme conflict as an example the lockdown was implemented suddenly and very early without prior notice which meant that some people who were genuinely mains in the family were left outside the WL and cant get back in. If there had been any rule or announcement about this beforehand everyone would have been able to prepare accordingly. (Speaking for Supreme, we dont actually need the lockdown to be lifted at all. If they really want to try their chance with a maximum of 5 people they can try their luck lol, but I dont think that would be fair or fun for anyone involved)

That’s level 5 escalation I’m fairly certain either that or it’s level 6

Time to get mommy’s credit card bud.

Murder Inc. Whateva happened there?

Cartels are cool as a faction for a little bit because of the role-play but every single faction that was a cartel either got deleted or went back to their old name and role-play example like Colombo’s they were CCNG for a little while, and then after went back to Colombo

+1 rest in piss Kirov Bratva

There already were bloods on this server and they got wiped. We need kts back tho on my life

Don't really see anything new here. -1

Massive +1 WE need ts.

-1 as you said and mostly everyone else, too many italian's already it just isn't original and the old fashion rp examples aren't stated - being here since 2024 but only 6 days of playtime is not enough experience to run a faction not to mention the faction would not last due to lack of experience -mentioning that you used to be a minge does not set a good impression

Massive -1. I VC'd with him all last night and what I gathered was: Completely inexperienced Knows hardly anybody and the people he does know don't like him Has no real members Thinks that he can start wars off rip and win because he's built different Refuses to listen to any advice Yoon or I gave him Got himself and his 2nd PK'd within an hour of being a sub-faction because he wanted to process in construction and fight the cops All in all I sympathize with being the under dog but my Lord does he think a lot of himself

+1

server already has a shit ton of chavs innit - time to make a faction for em all only shanks are allowed to be used tho +rep

+1 I've heard of these guys in the city and their shop, and today I finally got to meet with multiple of their command structure. I love the RP and the people behind this, plus another ethnical group in the city with the right RP can be great.

I did not add in the price of that I stated that saying you're refusing to pay a 2100 bill when normally we charge that much. Everywhere does. I was calling you broke. brokie.

+1

+1 These boys know what they’re doing, something different.

-1 poop family

In what world is that an essay? Pick up a book.

Is this the guy who couped Colombo and failed the went to bonnanos to try and coup? Not sure but think you should go back to Germany buddy

Don died last night

Damn looks like he had a warm, relieving accept coming his way and decided to call it quits.

Best application I've ever seen!!!!! Bro's faction gonna last as long Davey did in Legacy Enterprise as a don!

Im not gonna lie, I have had an interaction with majority of the people in this group and it was outstanding. I have personally played soccer and been to one of there parks and loved every second of it. I like how they want to be more of a community first faction instead of a crime faction. My overall reaction is a massive plus one +1

+1 Months ago I heard mentions of an African American faction being looked at as a bad idea, due to people treating the ethnicity as a minge platform. (Too many white guys on the server who are too comfortable saying the N-word online, too many people trying to RP Crips and Bloods, etc.) After reviewing the app and the ideas you've presented, it is clear a lot of thought has gone into this application, and how this proposal would be implemented. I appreciate you trying to diversify the faction space, and bringing fresh ideas to the table.

+1 Dedicated and competent, would really be able to do something good with a Russian faction

+1 Russians have always been around, they need to be brought back

Name of Faction: Brown & Sons Co. Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 7+ Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Legal Oil Company Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): American background; though all races/ethnicities will be hired. Name of Character running the faction: John Brown Jr II Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): baselsamarah Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:708116014 Your Server playtime: 3mo 6 day 23h 1m 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): My top priority will be ensuring the sale of oil daily, and creating a legal faction/company completely neutral and uninvolved with any faction conflict/politics. Members of every faction is welcome and encouraged to join/participate. I hope to also shine a light on Law Firms and Security Firms, giving them an actual platform, a form of compensation, allowing for RP and hopefully bridging a gap between the legal and illegal aspects of RP. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): Hella oil sales, events related to Gambling such as game shows, Sports-betting and Paintball matches available to the entire server to participate, that will take place on various faction owned properties (with permission) to gain mutual positive attention, Introducing a mega-company that would induce IC RP with lawyers, government personal, members of PD, members of illegal factions regardless of "conflict/politics". Another big plus is the extensive yet simple discord server, that will be extremely supportive for newbies to Faction Leaders. The wind blows a brochure into your face… (only works on pc) Long Backstory

+1 Great app even greater southern accent, but you gotta stop tryna sell an Irish nigga bourbon lmao

+1 Oil $$$$

Shit man a permaban trying to start shit without knowing shit

Of Course! In the times your normally on I usually build dupes for people on the server like food trucks and stuff.

Everything was so familiar until it actually made sense. I remember you. You were a black guy with the shiny flamingo shirt and pants- buying/selling & trading drugs as a civilian because you hated illegal factions, their hierarchy and you didn’t want to pay kickups. Furthermore I do remember a lot of people being upset with you and even thinking you’re a snitch as you were a civilian ex cop walking up to everyone’s business asking if they want to do drug deals with you, All the while you were talking about and trying to bring attention towards Legacy Enterprises the first time around when you made an app last year for a legal faction. https://divergenetworks.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=5787 Lastly, while I believe you were a member of this server for a long time- I truly believe you only ever amounted to 2 weeks in game time. The reasoning behind that is 1) ever since I’ve known you, you’ve hated illegal factions which basically means being alone most of the time and not having fun/interacting with people unless it’s mingey 2) just because Canadian said player time may be corrupted due to steam name error but idk you’ve had the same steam account 3) you didn’t include a server play time in the original faction application you made which means it was most likely “corrupted” a year ago and displayed a time equal to or less than 2 weeks Im neutral, don’t really have a +1 or -1 but you seem like the player type that joins every once in a while because of good old memories, you feel drawn and attached again and again(especially with the new map coming), but in the end you just get bored and leave till the cycle repeats.

There is no way it’s only 2weeks for play time I swear it’s gotta be longer than that. Last summer till the end of fall it was a daily routine get in the city grind oil and buy drugs, flip suits and carry on the next day to do the same. Ain’t no way did you use another steam account or something? +1 let the guy cook

“Medellin Cartel” , “Faction Type: Triad” yeah no -1

dumb react this guy “most of their members are in bonnanos” nigga u want them to sit on citizens of new york while they wait for their faction to get accepted?

why would i trust a guy with minus -17 rep honestly u should quit the server

While yes its true CCNG did mug members of the commission no retribution came after us (CCNG). No idea what you're tweaking about, but get well soon

+1 Bring back Legal Faction competition

Thanks for answering! I really like where your head is at with it all. You clearly have thought through all the reasons why the cult would be doing what it's doing. I think you have what it takes to create a fun and engaging cult faction.

+1 you know we need the GOATS
