Name of Character: Vinny Barone Character ID: 139555 SteamID: Steam ID: 76561198101831056 Your Discord ID: fuckfacesunstoppable Date of PK:11/12/25 Reason for PK: causing inner faction conflict, causing an uproar within the ranks, causing a feud within high command The situation that led to my character’s death didn’t have good in-character reasoning or proper buildup. From what I saw, it felt like the players involved acted out of OOC frustration or personal issues instead of their characters’ actual motives. It broke the immersion and made the roleplay feel unfair, which is disappointing since I’ve always tried to take RP seriously and stay true to my character. I’m not completely sure what the exact reasoning or orders behind my character’s death were, but based on what I’ve heard, it seems like it was influenced more by OOC stuff than anything that made sense IC. There wasn’t proper escalation, and it didn’t fit with my character’s story or any real conflict that would’ve justified it. Also, the player I believe was mainly involved has a history of causing or exaggerating drama and not being fully honest in past situations. so, it’s hard to see this as a fair or natural outcome of roleplay. tldr: we broke up and she got me killed for no reason19 points

Name of Faction: The Popov Family Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 20 Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Russian/Orthodox Russian Name of Character running the faction: Pavel 'Feliks' Popov Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): tradercho_ Your SteamID:STEAM_0:1:59531587 Your Server playtime: 1mo 5d 19hr 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): We set up the bread stand and give away free food to people and preach the lords word and his name to the masses, while helping as many people as possible. We also want to bring in our own taxi and bring in a Taxi service with a dedicated phone number for free Taxi rides to your shipments, including a VIP package where the Russian Taxi Driver will follow you for support to your shipments, and drop you off where you want to be. Even if we get accepted, we will continue to set up places to give away food, drink and medical attention. Prayers and sermons should be expected, as well as prayers on Sunday alongside promotions, and other business about the city. Even with our Orthodox background, we will still be a crime family, and killing will be apart of our lives. For these such moments that we strive so hard to get away from. For all PKs there will be mandatory prayer, even if a brief one, begging god for forgiveness. We will have a social code of not using any extremely expensive vehicles or outfits, we want to be known for giving money back to the people whenever we can. Eventually, whenever were set up on our feet pretty good, we want to make a place where gambling addicts can get 10k whenever they lose all of their money to get back onto their feet without having to take a loan. Being a crime family, we are disgracing ourselves in the eyes of our god. So we donate back out, we try and do everything possible to outbalance the terrible acts that we commit. Way further down the line we would like to get a gun racket and sell them legally. We would never sell them illegally, because that is something that we do not have to do to continue giving back to the community. (I want to clarify that we are not a cult, and that this is just genuine Russian Orthodoxy.) Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): Well of course we are going to be giving sermons at the church, we will have an entire role dedicated to people who can do this, reading Orthodox Russian prayers (in english ofc) to the masses, or even just to the faction. We will consistently open the free bread bar, making improvements to it and continuing on that route. We invite anyone to church with open arms, including offering confessions at the Church with a Father of the Popov's, a man who will keep all your secrets to his chest, so you can get them out there. The taxi service might not have very much event potential but it WILL be a facet of consistent Russian RP with the Russian made Taxi we are looking to bring to the server.

Hello, Once upon a time we removed the ability for properties to have food registers, in place of that we set up Shipment NPCs where people could order in food items (in bulk obviously), and then transport them to the property, and store them for selling to people. At the time, this was somewhat unpopular due to a few issues. Such as: - Storage entities were frequently being wiped, which would mean people would spend many hours organizing stock and arranging deliveries, just for it to be wasted. This is no longer an issue as storages permanently persist. - Having to have millions of storage lockers to store them in, making it difficult to effectively organize. - Lazyness. But this is a task that should be delegated to lower ranking members. - The old shipment system had dogshit configuration, so you couldn't order multiple at once. - Whatever else, it was years ago I don't remember. So we eventually reintroduced property vendors, but with a limit of 15 items. Today, I was reminded that we once had this system. Thinking about it, I realize that its reintroduction would come with many benefits, such as. - Not having to rely on me or Canadian to get on and change vendors when you want something changed. Which is a lengthy process, getting approval from FL, making the UA ticket then waiting for us to change it. - Being able to sell a wide range of food and drink items, instead of being limited to 15 pre-selected options. - Boost of available roleplay - new hires can be assigned as delivery boys, restaurants will have to organize their stock and have dedicated people managing it, ensuring supplies stay available, and much much more. We would make the following changes with this: - We would create a new type of storage item, that has a much larger inventory space, but in return it would only be able to store food items. Thus resolving the issue of having to have 100 storage items. - We would update the Shipment NPC UI to have organized categories so it isn't all cluttered together (like it is now). There would be tabs, nice and organized. - Shipment timing for food would also NOT be the same as drugs/guns. They would spawn immediately for collection. So I wanted to see what you all think - would this be something you'd like to see? I cannot see any real downsides to this, other than lazyness / not wanting to RP. But maybe there are some - so by all means let me know if there are. Or perhaps there are other things that would need to be done alongside what I have proposed. Either way, please let me know your thoughts.16 points

Hello all, I've discovered kind of a loophole to the whole "Don't work with police, but making statements to cops is fine" pk rules. The current rule states: Which, on its face seems entirely fine. But since we're on the federal rules of evidence in the courts, it creates a stark, immediate issue. Originally, Hearsay was much more restricted. So, a cop hearing a victim say "Hey man that guys stealing my car" (this was a case against me i'm referencing here, guys already dead in an unrelated pk), the officers *can* include that in their affidavits to prove that the victim did have a crime committed against them. So, the current rule being that reporting a crime isnt enough; reporting the crime actually *is* enough to prosecute someone. Their statements can be considered testimony under two rules: FRE 803(1) FRE 803(2) These rules state that hearsay is acceptable and admissible in court if it is: (1) - Present Sense Impression: A statement describing or explaining an event or condition, made while or immediately after the declarant perceived it. (2) - Excited Utterance - A statement relating to a startling event or condition, made while the declarant was under the stress of excitement that it caused. So what does this mean for criminals? Someone yelling out "Officer this guy just killed someone" or "Officer, that guy stole my car" or "Officer he has a gun on him!" is ALL admissible in court. It's all usable. The person need not testify, that *is* usable by the officers' testimony. And the courts can, and always have had the capacity, to convict someone under a singular affidavit (which is debatable considering a previous precedent, but could still reasonably happen right now). My suggestion is very easy to understand. A new addition to the rule. A "Duty to contest". It works very simply. Joe Mecli, a civilian, witnesses someone shoot a guy. He yells out "Officer, that guy shot someone" when he sees a cop, who was not a witness to the actual crime. The officer, having heard the blast, arrests the guy on attempted murder charges or some other charges related (Discharge, Unlawful conduct, yadayada). Well now criminal guy Joe Gambino is in a dicey situation. Joe Gambino, is now allowed, by the rules, that if the testimony of the cop reflects what Joe Mecli said, he can locate Joe Mecli, and threaten him to "Contest". Appear in court and say "Nah that didnt happen". This is the most fair addition to the rule, reflecting the new rules of evidence, and how we deal with witness statements. Now that the DAs office is aware that they can do this shit, they're going to be doing it *a lot*. And there needs to be a balance. The technicality of the rules should be that you have to locate the person in game, Identify them somehow (tie them to the name), and threaten them that they have to get you an affidavit stating the *opposite* before discovery closes. This should be done with at least 24 hours BEFORE discovery closes, as to provide ample time. Then, if they refuse to testify, or they switch sides again on the stand and say its true and the guy is a criminal, the family of that criminal should be able to give orders on the Joe Mecli, the civilian, for snitching. Kind of a long one, but here's my change to the rule I would make: You cannot PK a civilian for simply witnessing or reporting a crime, it's natural for normal civilians to call the Police or report incidents, while you may attack them for this it is not considered a valid PK reason. You may only PK a Civilian if they are actively collaborating with a government agency to take you down, i.e. signing an affidavit or working directly with police beyond the initial report. If their statements to police are later used by police to establish that a crime was committed, you may locate, identify, and threaten the individual in order to write an affidavit contesting that they never made those statements. If they fail to write that affidavit before discovery closes, or refuse to testify thereafter, or testify and state the opposite (thereby further implicating you), you may PK that person.11 points

In-Game Name(s): Shaniqua Buffalino/Terry Lawrence Steam Name: shauningt Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/shauningt/ Steam ID: Steam_0:0:59300760 Discord Username: Shauningt Age: 24 When did you first join the server: January 2025 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2 Months 5 Days 19 Hours 46 Minutes. Time Zone: UK GMT/BST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 2/3 hours during the week, 4/5 hours on Saturday/Sunday Have you read the rules?: Yes Do you have a working microphone?: Yes 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?: No Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes ------------------------------------------------- Long Answer What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * Being very honest my main motivation is to one day become a game master running small and medium sized scriptless events for players but to get there I understand what is expected, even when a gamemaster that being staff comes first. Outside of the long term goal, I would like to become a staff member to help with the community, often being on during low populated hours for the early morning UK folks to about midday where there isn't many staff members on. Along with this I would obviously also help in peak hours too. Having a staff member on during low populated hours though is useful for those who might experience issues that stop them coming back to the server. Overall my motivation stems from wanting to protect peoples experience, and improve their quality of experience while on the server. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * Although I'm not experienced with SAM and/or Nutscript commands, I am willing to learn, and able to admit when I need help with something, rather than going rogue and trying to do my own thing. I also understand that there is a learning curve within these roles and won't get frustrated when decisions might be overturned by senior staff members too. I understand server rules and the importance of and how to expand player experiences alive. I would also listen when needed, but also push back and question why something may be happening if it seems wrong at the right time and place. When doing work I am resilient and also like to work to a high standard as I know my work represents me as a person as well, I'd rather be out there known to be doing high quality pieces of work even if that means that I'm taking my time when doing it and getting fully up to speed with what is needed to be a staff member. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I have previously been an event manager of the Stasis Starwars RP for a year from 2017-2018. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No, I do have a couple of notes, for incidents being genuine mistakes that I have since learned from. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I'd say that I am known in my circles, I would like to think that people see me as approachable and open to converse. When out and about in the city I try to show to respect to everyone, not starting beefs for no reason and even when presented with conflict I'd prefer to settle it with a talk rather than drawing guns. I'm gonna be honest too, theres a circle of people who I know don't like me, like to call me trans, etc., frankly I don't care about these comments and wouldn't let this get in the way of an unbiased view when staffing. When playing, my perspective is there being a split between my char and my actual self, so anything Shaniqua/Terry experiences is then separate from staff shauningt. As a staff member I'd rather have a reputation of being fair and unbiased, but also being a genuine help to anyone who opens a ticket no matter what faction they're in. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Since starting in January I've had plenty of laughs but also plenty of serious RP moments, one of which a small event that I coordinated within people of my faction. We organised for a high profiles member car to be taken (a character I was playing stole the car). We gathered all the active associates to then chase the car down without using guns and keeping the cops attention away from what was going on, the event ended with a hostage situation that was deescalated. It was a small event that didn't impact the wider server but it was fun for everyone who has involved, it was great getting associates involved with something that wasn't the usual grinding and put emphasis to RPing. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Callink, Falcon ------------------------------------------------- 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?: *Edit. Didnt answer my bad. Any issue that involves myself should be handled by another member of the team, meaning that the issue is looked out without bias, and removes the question of any vendettas, or abuse of power coming from a spur of the moment incident. I'd follow the usual process that any other player would do, making a ticket, presenting evidence and having a sit. 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 to this situation would be: First I'd start by reaching out for an informal chat either in game or on discord, just to check in that they know what theyre doing is wrong sorta thing, if what theyre doing is nothing too noticeable it might be that they thought what they were doing was okay, or they didn't realise it was having an impact on RP. If it were to continue I'd send them a message so the issue can be dated and can be in writing where we both acknowledge the situation in a paper trail, and if they continue there is evidence of them being told what they're doing is wrong. Continuing after this I'd prevent the evidence (clips, messages, etc.) to the chain of command to ensure that the right person is able to deal with the situation correctly, rather than publicly airing out any disputes this would be done privately between the accused, myself and the chain of command. 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?: There are two routes in this situation to take: Way 1 (less severe incidents): Deal with the ticket like any other ticket for this sort of infraction, if its minging, this would be dealt with on basis of the severity of minging, if they're just being annoying, doing the usual sit giving them a warning/note. For things such as RDM, again following the usual protocol of investigating the incident with clips, logs, etc and applying the correct punishment to the infraction they've committed. Way 2 (more severe incidents): If I know that I am going to have an extreme bias or trouble assessing the situation from the perspective of all parties I would either call in another moderator/senior staff for support and explain how my bias may be influencing a final outcome and ask for their opinion before committing to it. This means there is a less chance of an appeal if a third party has also been involved within the situation, although as a staff member myself I should be this third party myself, as previously stating, taking my character out of decisions and following the rules of the server equally for everyone as a staff member. ---------------------------------------------------------10 points

Yeah no one is getting comped for failing a gun fight, or RP escalation, I have literally never seen a ticket that suggests someone's tried to either This suggestion also doesn't consider actual RDM or VDM at all It's not whether you should 'consider the weight of drawing your weapon' when you get ran over from behind at mach speed by a random white shirt You're locked in on the specific instance of RDM baiting, that's not enough grounds to remove a system that is 99% of the time used for completely different scenarios -1 Terrible suggestion7 points

Can we please RP again? Cut it out with your "cousins" somehow "hearing" about the beef you have with people? Cut down the harassment and chalked up, fabricated reasons to beef. Can't some of you drum up enough creativity to at least justify the shit you start with people without having to lie, metagame, and social engineer by skirting the rules? Just making a plea for some of you to play in good faith and actually RP. There's a reason you came to the City and stayed. We can be diplomatic. We don't have to like each other or even hate each other OOCly to love and hate ICly. Just please, play your characters. I'm so sick of hearing brainrot memes, modern vernacular, and constantly being harassed over dumb shit. Even this right here, pleading for basic decency is going to catch me a ton of flak. I just know it. I'm an RP nerd. It's the only reason I'm here. That's the only reason anyone should need to want to be here or deserve to be here. I agree to follow the rules, which was implicit in my willingness to stay and play for as long as I have. What's the motivation for anything else if not just to troll and harass people to satisfy your egos? Enlighten me, since I'm such a dumbass apparently. tl;dr Hey guys, wanna maybe RP again when you log in the City? Thanks.6 points

Your Character or Steam Name: Vincenzo 'Chin' DiMeo Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:63026788 Your Discord ID#: 1160635275446321192 Reason for ban: RDM Length of ban: 2 weeks Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): This supposed RDM was in fact not an RDM, I was at the item bank retrieving items when this guy comes up to me and starts a confrontation, calling me a "stupid dumbass" and then went onto call me a "retarded nigger" I said to him "What did you just call me?" and he repeats it, so I start to walk away and he follows me saying "Yeah thats right walk away" etc. When we had cleared a secluded corner with no witnesses around and he continued, I killed him with an automatic. Now fast forward 5 mins the guy is talking shit again but I don't kill him, I walk off back to what I was doing and went AFK as I had stuff to do. I come back to a ban screen for 2 weeks for RDM, and this guy is trolling me in my discord clearly knowing its not a fair ban, and the fact I was just banned without getting to say my side of the story is not fair in my eyes. This same guy was over at our shop a few days ago being a minge for no reason with ample warnings to leave our shop, and his approach being unrealistic RP. Why should you be unbanned? I have been very invested in this server, spending a lot of money in the process, and I have not been a minge RP'er one bit, many people would tell you since 'Chin' has came into the city he has been a man of his word and has been doing a lot of good business and relationship building, and doing things the right way. I was never given a chance of explaining why this guy was killed and why it was realistic RP as I made sure to only kill him when it was a clear coast and no one would be able to ID or link me to the crime, and he himself started the confrontation leading to the realistic RP outcome. this was not a Random Death Match case, as there was nothing random about the interaction Additional Information (images, videos, etc): Photo of the guy who caused the ban trolling me in discord after the ban as he knew what he had done and that I'd not be happy when I returned, for context: I don't even know this guy and have never had an interaction to cause this behaviour, this is just minge levels.

1. Crazy is rdm baiting IF its true that he was approaching you multiple times intentionally insulting you. 2. You cannot escalate to gun fight purely off of disrespect. You're both in the wrong, IMO crazy has more experience on the server and should've been punished too. On your end, you just got off a ban and should also know better, but a reduced ban from 2 weeks. I'm not staff nor am I trying to undermine anyone, but like I said, both are in the wrong here especially Crazy if he was insulting you over multiple occasions.6 points

+1 hes literally on a minge char beefing with someone of a rival faction, bans also way to long compared to other punishments. Is it RDM yes, he did not follow proper escelation, but there are external factors that need to be taken into account.6 points

Make it so you can pass on your ownership / location of an active shipment to somebody else in the C menu. This opens up small RP / grinding opportunities for associates, who can get tasked with picking up packages for lazy bosses and risk death if they don’t bring the goods.5 points

server has turned into 1984 just cause they haven’t committed crimes doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be able to kill them. pls fix the server thanks5 points

maybe we should start with stricter punishments on staff abuse first5 points

Currently the warning you get when joining a Faction (shown below) is a blanket warning applying to all factions allowing no individuality in what factions stand for. What I am proposing is adding a box to this warning which the boss of each family can assign specific rules to which new recruits must agree to when joining a faction. This would allow factions to specify what they expect of their recruits so there's less surprise when people get PK'd for doing stupid shit. A few examples would be specifying that a certain faction doesn't allow mugging or allow drug trades etc etc.4 points

Name of Faction: Velvet Union Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 5 Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Street Gang Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): American / African American Name of Character running the faction: Gabriel "Silky Smooth" Gonzalez Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): Its_Wojtek Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:444435754 Your Server playtime: 1mo 4d 15h 48m 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): Of course, as a faction full of pimps, our property is going to be made to look like a strip club/bar (For aesthetics only.) Encouraging roleplay from the bar. "Patched" equivalent members, those who have already earned their colors, will drive low riders through the streets, listening to music, doing drugs, living life to its fullest. We really want to emphasize on the stereotypical pimp lifestyle, nice suits, big coats, lowriders, gambling, drugs and who could forget jewelry? Not only would our Faction sling drugs and hold big guns, but fashion is what makes a pimp! Spending our hard earned dough on whatever jewelry and nice suits we can get our hands on. Holding an event coined "The Velvet Stroll" in which contestants get voted on for their outfits, and the winner wins a prize of clothing or stone cold cash. For clarity purposes, we do not plan on doing any sexual roleplay, we simply like the style and RP of a pimp. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): As said above, we are going to have the Velvet Stroll event, as well as a colors ceremony, to add some good Rp to the ranking process, each influential rank up will come with an event in said person's name, alcohol, drugs, all the good things every Pimp looks forward to. Organization Backstory (Min. of 250+ Words & any images): The year is 1967, an Afro-Mexican American man named Silky Ray Gonzalez and a couple of buddies were at their local jazz bar, a restitute for men of he and his brother's color. He never found himself selling dope with his buddies, making some money on the side whenever their jobs didn't pay them enough. Soon, they opened a business selling their roster out of a motel room, they were making more money than they ever had, selling drugs and selling time was more profitable than they could ever imagine, they quit their jobs and went crooked for good. Things were going relatively well for the men, they began spreading their wings with the newfound income, spending money on suits that would draw attention from anyone, from dark purples to light pinks, leopard print to zebra print. They were rolling in it, and new members were appearing every week. They ran several underground gambling and escort rings, out of the very Jazz bars that they took refuge in. By 1973, whenever Cocaine and Heroin made its way to New York. business was better than ever. They began buying out nightclubs and record labels, anything to get them more money. Greed got to Silky Ray, all of his lavish living style caught up to him, he got caught for Money Laundering in 1976, and later died in prison in 1978, murdered by another inmate. That marked the end of Pimp's Paradise, jackets left behind, most of their businesses being sold off, the remaining members leaving with what money they could get out of it. Now, Silky Ray's illegitimate son with one of the escorts, wants to recreate his father's empire, after years of his own experience.4 points

(Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Yes Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: No 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?: Having been a member of the community for a while, I've often thought about joining the staff team. Now that my time has freed up as I am no longer staff on any other servers, I'm eager to dedicate my time and effort to Diverge. I have always enjoyed my time on this server and want to contribute the community. I believe that I can help bring a positive and welcoming feel to the server for new players by stopping rulebreakers and hopefully preventing future ones. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I have previous work as a staff member on many servers in the past and I know the ins and outs of general staffing. My time spent on the server along with having to read over the rules quite a few times due to my recent misunderstandings have led to a good knowledge of the server rules. On top of this, I am an active player; meaning that I will be able to dedicate a good amount of time to staffing and the server as a whole. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): CivilNetworks - I was staff here for around a year and got to Senior Moderator, Icefuse - I was also staff here for around a year and also got to senior moderator; which is about the same as an admin in most servers , Multiple DarkRP servers that I can't recall - Multiple servers but I think the highest I got was assistant community manager or something along those lines. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have been banned a few years back for item transfer however I learned from my lesson and haven't gone near it ever since. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I would like to say Andrew Spencer is well known in the community as he has been a cop for about 4 years now. Depending on who you ask my reputation may be good or bad, mostly because of people's individual thoughts on my characters. I hope that the majority of the people I talk to think that I am an alright person and I know that the majority of them think i'm tolerable at least. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: That would likely be meeting cool people and making new friends, the best part about this server is being able to have fun whilst being able to bump into people and have a laugh whilst grinding away. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: N/A ------------------------------------------------- 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 I was the one who got RDMed I would make a ticket as per usual; however if it was somebody else and I witnessed them get RDMed, I would tell them to make a ticket and explain to them how if they don't already know. 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?: Clip each occasion and report it to somebody who is of higher rank than myself. 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?: I would not take the ticket as it could possibly come across as bias, I would instead inform other staff members that I can't take it and explain why.4 points

I always thought it would be nice to have a server that is sort of like the build server accept, its sole purpose would be for players to test out the different weapons on the server and generally practice pvp. This could also be good for reducing random gunfights happening when people get bored (iykyk). could also be good for events.4 points

As a police main who has to chase after MUTLIPLE vehicles which are hard to pin and stop. I am tired of dealing with 30 to 60 minute police chases. I am hoping we can bring back or add gasoline stations and fuel system. I understand we have a despawner system, but I was hoping we can get a fuel system in place. I think if people spawn their vehicle, and I think their should also be a fueling system to allow players to be responsible to refuel to have the gas gauge full.4 points

i think it should be looked at in a different way, not as a "practice" server but more as a fun little side server where u can have some down time, maybe even make it donator only to help w the costs! pvp has ALWAYS been seen in a very negative light in the rp space and for good reason but when it comes to it, its fun! i can PROMISE you, if it gets added NO ONE is going on there for 7 hours to "practice their gmod pvp", we already have 1942 rp for that lol, there are also 100x more effective ways to "practice" if your that dedicated to mafia pvp. it will most likely be used for friendly 1v1s or 2v2s ect ect! and at the end of the day, if u dont like the pvp dont join the pvp server! (if it gets added) ps, if it does become a thing, i would imagine it would be like the old pvp system with 3rd person and no recoil as that is what that majority of pvp enjoyers would prefer so you wouldnt even be "training" functional skills that you could bring over to the live rp server4 points

These registers are gay. I want my guys to RP going out, ordering food, and picking it up. It used to be fun. New hires get something to do while they wait their new founded hour to order drugs existing players get extra RP in having to work to supply their restaurants Restaurant RP could be great again.4 points

Maybe an addition i'd put on this suggestion would be fixed contract template items, rather than google docs like the typewriter uses For example, in City Hall there is a legal supplies vendor who sells contract templates, they could be: Sale/Purchase Agreement Lawyer Contract or probably a few other options- Then they are a nice IC template of a contract with places left out for Item Category/Money Amount etc. and then at the bottom Name and Signature of each party (auto filled via your char id upon signing) These can then be used via factions IC-ly to enforce missed fees for Lawyers, or missed payments on custom clothing or guns, and have a purpose in PK sits Could also be used in other Legal RP scenarios for things like Oil Coupons, Police ticketing, Fines, Bills at restaurants even I think it'd be cool, the more Diverge interactions that can be pulled away from a Google Docs tab the better imo4 points

Name of Character: Joey "Reaper" Martinelli Character ID: 174398 SteamID: : 948141424 Your Discord ID#: ozbx Date of PK:10/23/2025 Reason for PK: LTARP Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I was doing a deal with someone and I picked the guy up from the ATM near the car dealership, and he said we could go anywhere for the deal, so I chose the parking lot in the tunnel. before I picked up the guy I told my buddy to watch and follow me to the deal incase I was going to be robbed or something (I didn't have a weapon on me). I waited 2 minutes until he arrived just in case of anything and then me and the guy i picked up hopped out. I gave him 30k and then all of a sudden some guy came out of nowhere. No car, no nothing and then they started to rob me and told me to turn around and get up against the wall, so I did my buddy was in his own parked car. They told him to get out of the car He didn't do it fast enough apparently, so they just shot him without knowing if he was with me or not and then I started to lag and i couldn't move and then my game crashed because of the gun shots and this has been happening to me for a couple of days when gun shots are close to me. I understand it seems like I disconnected to not be robbed, but my game did crash. I would have just did an escalation ticket AFTER they robbed me but the reason i did not return right away was because i was also having internet issues at the time there was a sever thunder storm where i live and my wifi kept turning on and off but i came back 30-40 mins later after my wifi was working. medal wasn't set to startup with my pc so i don't have a clip but This is all fixed now. I'm also willing to give all the items on my char to the person that was robbing me to make this right just to prove my case.4 points

Steam Name: Marlock In Game Name(s): Darrelle "Big Dick" Dickson, Donnie Alonzo, Kenny Cooper Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/MarlockTheGreat/ Steam ID: 76561198064436475 Discord Username: Marlock. Age: 28 When did you first join the server? June 2023 Total playtime on our servers (do !time in game): 2W 2D 20H Time Zone: Eastern Time (EST) How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating? 4 to 5 hours daily Have you read the rules? Yes Do you have a working microphone? Yes Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Understood Are you familiar with SAM and or Nutscript commands? Yes Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff? Yes Long Answer What is your motivation or reason for applying? After spending a lot of time on Diverge Networks, I realized how much I genuinely enjoy helping improve the roleplay experience for others. I have staffed here before and I miss contributing to the server. I know how to handle situations calmly and without personal bias. I want to help new players, maintain immersion, and make sure everyone has a fun and fair experience. I want to give back to the community I have invested so much time into. Why should you be considered over other candidates? I am older and have more experience than most players in the community. I stay calm under pressure and handle every situation fairly. I do not get emotional or take things personally. I focus on solving problems, gathering facts, and keeping roleplay going. I want to improve the server, not just hold a staff title. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position, and how long.) Yes. I was previously staff on Diverge Networks. Before that, I was an admin on Superior Servers StarwarsRP for over two years. I handled ban requests, moderated daily activity, ran events, and assisted with community management. I have been involved in Garrys Mod communities since 2009. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why? No. Would you say that you are well known in our community? What is your reputation? What do other members think of you? Yes, many people in the community know me. I held high command in multiple factions and I believe players would say I handled situations respectfully and calmly. I do not bring emotions into decisions. I keep the focus on fun roleplay and fairness. My reputation is that I am mature, helpful, and relaxed. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far? My favorite moment was the July Fourth musket battle event. It brought players together, created a lot of laughs, and boosted community engagement. I enjoy events that unite the playerbase and increase interactions. These types of moments make the server memorable and help keep the community active. I would enjoy helping plan community events like that again. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: N A Problem Solving Someone RDMs and you are currently off duty. How do you handle this? I would contact an on duty staff member and explain what I witnessed. If no one is available, I would switch to my staff character and handle it. I would gather both sides of the story and review any proof. If the situation requires a higher ranking staff member, I would document everything and report it through the correct channels. You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank abusing fairly often, but not doing anything extremely noticeable. What do you do? I would gather evidence, such as video clips or screenshots, and then privately report it to a higher ranking staff member. I would not accuse them without proof. I would remain professional and follow procedure. A member of your faction or a friend of yours has a ticket made against them, accusing them of RDMing and minging. You know this person rarely does this. How do you proceed and does it create a possible bias? I treat the ticket like any other. I request evidence from both sides and compare it to the server rules. Friendships do not change how I handle staff duties. If I feel bias might exist, I request another staff member to handle the ticket. Fairness always comes first.3 points

Currently it isn't great having melee weapons in gun rackets when it comes to a money making angle. For example, our racket has fire axes that cost $1,000 to order. Even if we were to break even selling them, you can get 5-6 shovels for the same price as 1 axe and with zero wait. And there is still the same cooldown for melee weapons as if you were ordering back to back gun shipments. Most times people want alot of them in a short time for events. Also most people pass on buying them when they see the price, and we intentially set it higher than we would like to avoid large orders. My suggesstion would be to rebalance melee weapons in rackets in one or more of the following ways: - Make them near zero cost to order, so they can be offered at lower prices and still make a somewhat decent profit - Reduce the reordering cooldown significantly - Have all melee weapon shipments come with a larger amount(at least 5-10) Would be open to hearing other sugestions as well3 points

i understand the perspective and that everyone has their own preferences for gameplay- and im sure most of us have done something once or twice that wasn’t the most rp-inclined thing at an off hour. your example is a great one for why we shouldn’t get comfortable doing that on the server. i count multiple fresh to the city folk who have no idea what they’re doing and this probably isn’t the best precedent to set for them. as aforementioned i can only see it being used as a crutch for the people coming onto this server strictly to try and hone their skills, check weapon stats, etc- but additionally it would shell a chunk of the exchange that takes place between people and weapon stores. what’s the point of asking around for what weapons and attachments are good if you just get told ‘bro….. just go on the ffa server and find out’. optimistically an outlet would still be nice. as much as i personally don’t like the idea, the build server could realistically be able to host a more sandbox setting where people can switch between pvp/build modes. in prevention of people trying to min/max the shit out of an IC weapon build; every single weapon would likely need to be modified in movement, damage, RoF, recoil, draw, etc- until its marketably unrecognizable compared to the main server weapons. (i love your optimism, but there are definitely people trying that hard. we have some real urchins around here if you look for them) it seems like it may be more hassle than it’s worth when we could just get GMs to break up the monotony for people looking for a breather from the RP with more occasional events. it really depends though, because i could also see a big enough chunk of people wanting something like this to make it happen3 points

Please for the love of god, stop making Otorhinolaryngologists (ear doctors) rich and add some type of proximity chat. We literally have the most bare-bones voice chat we can have, literally no communication can be had in a crowded environment. To add on to this, there's addons that allow for "voice priority" where a staff member can make someone's voice louder(Can be used in events such as the recent fashion show, but with staff supervision).3 points

So yeah you banned this guy for 2 weeks off of the basis that a minge came up (same guy whos tried to RDM bait our faction members before) called him a "Asshole" and "Stupid Nigger" and you expect him not to react in any negative way?? Im not gonna sit here and say he didnt RDM him but when hes being baited by some minge character who then goes in his DMs and mocks him after and you just justify it by "Oh he had POs and was banned for the same reason" This ban should be decreased 1000% and there should never be some situation where someone gets banned for 2 weeks over being baited by a minge, completly disgraceful.3 points

It's quite obvious throughout all three clips provided here who is and who isn't intending to RP. ix_crazy_xi Has not only been proven to have no intent for RP on all three clips, but proceeded to bait RDM and getting one of the only people I've seen who never breaks character to get banned. I've also had similar encounters with the ix_crazy_xi guy, funny how he didn't call "RDM" when he was gunned down for the same stupid shit. This kid needs to go, free ole' boy Chin. +13 points
