In-Game Name(s): Adrik "Yako" Molchalin Akari "No License" Russio Sean "(Close Enough)" O'Sullivan Lonni "French Bread" Fracon Vantilo Smith Vincenzo Cardierre Steam Name: Akari Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/ZeroAkA Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:173844295 Discord Username: Akaril. Age: 22 When did you first join the server: April 27, 2021 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 1mo 4w 21h 25m Time Zone: US Eastern How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: For weekdays I can do 2-3 hours. For weekends every other weekend I am unavailable though I can dedicate 6 hours saturdays and sundays on the weekends when I am around. 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?: I've worked with SAM and Nutscript but it's been a long time since I've used both. I'm willing to learn Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I believe that after the amount of time I've spent in the server I'm just looking for a different experience. I've tried out PD, crim factions, civ factions etc and think that I would both be helpful for the staff team and find it engaging. I believe that after receiving help on countless tickets over the years it's time I pay it forward. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I think something many applicants struggle with is the ability to be unbiased and generally bringing the right attitude to being a staff member. Something I think should be considered is how people act as a normal player before they become staff. I find myself helping new players even if I have no intention of hiring them while other players will belittle them for being new to the gamemode. While many want to become staff for the wrong reasons I just want to be helpful and resolve situations for both experienced players and new players from a neutral standpoint. with the amount of time I've spent in the server and my knowledge of the server I believe I would be an asset to the staff team. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I was an Administrator for a DarkRP server for 6 months or so though this was around 10 years ago now. (Server was running ULX) Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No. I do have a note for RDM. Someone had stolen my car and I chased them down. I shot them and later realized that one of my faction members had got to them first. Thus the person that stole my car was on a new life and it was technically RDM. I do not know how long ago this was but it has been a long time. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I wouldn't say that I'm well known outside of the circle of people that I talk to. Though I think for those who do know of me have a positive impression. I think my reputation is of someone who tries his best to be helpful and friendly. For those who don't know me I'm usually known as "the ponytail guy" or "you're not randy". What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: My favorite moment on diverge was the court case versus the Peron corporation. It was a nail biting event with a lot of attention on it and was a lot of fun (I'm still using the same char today actually) Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: ------------------------------------------------- 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?: I would clip the interaction and send the report to other staff through @. This would remove any chance of bias on my part. If there were no other staff online I would drop the issue if it was just myself. I would pick up other tickets if this individual is receiving reports for RDM'ing/breaking other rules from players other than myself. 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?: I would compile evidence (clips screenshots etc.) with timestamps and a detailed description of what occurred during each event. I would send this evidence to a staff member one rank above the offending staff member and not become directly involved. 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?: This would constitute possible bias. I would prefer if there were another staff member available to take the ticket to completely remove the possibility of bias being called into question. If I had the ticket I would handle it like I would any other ticket. Staff characters are out of roleplay and therefore should not fashion preferential treatment to any player. ---------------------------------------------------------

It would make life that bit easier if locked lockers once the password has been entered would stay unlocked (Due to putting a password in) until you log off. Similar to the way coded doors work. You put it in once and it will just open normally for just you until you log off and have to re enter the password (For personal lockers not faction lockers)

Name of Faction: The Wright Crime Family Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 36 and Growing Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Crime Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): English, (British) Name of Character running the faction: Daniel Fernsby Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): ___alex____#0638 Your SteamID: 76561198829389343 Your Server playtime: 3weeks 2days 7hours (559 hours) 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 aim to be a higher class of faction. Bringing elegance and luxury to the city, tying in with our British heritage. As our main business, we would run a gentleman’s club/lounge. This would be considered a higher class establishment, where a strict dress code would be enforced to uphold our classy appearance. Once established, regular members will have the opportunity to purchase a VIP membership to the club where once a member, they will have the opportunity to enter into exclusive giveaways, enter private auctions for exclusive items, eat and drink for free for life, attend private parties, participate in a gentleman's boxing league and much more. We intend to be more business focused, rather than on bloodshed. We aim to have a well established private society, with an illegal racket running in the background. We also plan to have a tailoring shop as an addition onto the club. We aim to make buying clothing a new way of Rping. For example, if someone is to come in looking for a suit we would measure the individual and tailor the suit to them to ensure each item purchased feels personal to the buyer. This will apply for hats, shirts, jackets, and pants. VIP membership would also apply to the tailoring shop, bringing discounts and first dibs on newly stocked clothing items. For our members, we aim to offer a unique and refreshing roleplay experience. Don’t expect the typical stand in front of the door guard that everyone is tired of. We will offer immersive tasks and roleplay for our members to keep them engaged, even from the lowest rank. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): As stated above, we plan to hold private auctions for our "High Roller VIPS". The auctions would start at a much lower price than buying price so there will be a real incentive for people to participate. For faction members we aim to hold weekly "block parties" where faction members and guests can come to mingle. Appreciation and awards will be handed out to top performers of the week. We also want to give new people who come to the faction a more enjoyable time. No more sitting on a door for five years. We aim to have different positions for new members. For example errand runners, bodyguards, drivers, and bartending. One of our biggest goals is to keep new members interested instead of staring into the street senselessly. We plan to have open bar nights where drinks and food are free for anyone. To further iterate on our faction being heavily business based, we intend to build relations with other factions, but in the scenario that someone tries impeding on our business we wont hesitate to show face.

+1 even thought whoever their carpenter is needs fired that dupe is really bad lmao

I’m sure if some of the players went outside they would call over minor traffic violations, if it inconvenienced them. Which is the same for this server. People only make reports when it negatively impacts them specifically. It’s not that they care about the rules they genuinely just can’t take a loss and unlike other video games this server enables them to call for a lifeline, seeking vengeance getting the satisfaction that the person that caused them a minor disturbance will now get banned. For being named “omerta” you sure do snitch a lot

Why don't we shame frequent forum shitposters instead?

Just so you know you can pick things up with your hands and throw. Don’t need to use a physgun

Hello, Let me start off by saying that I am a returning player looking for a unique way to start a business and make money. However, I was perplexed by my recent discoveries. The only methods of earning cash is through player owned businesses, which is great. But, I expected that returning after more than three years the mundane tasks of running a restaurant and or grinding shipments would've been added onto. Of course, player backed businesses are the backbone of this economy. However, I would love to see the server attempt to expand upon the current businesses. Correct me if I am wrong, because I might be after returning from 3 years. The last significant "Quality of Life" update that I have seen was the "Jailer NPC" that the Police Department received way back when. I still have my infamous BAR-Certified Character. Which leads me to lean towards starting up a Law Firm, however I find multiple quality issues in this section of roleplay which should be widely considered as so vital and interconnected to other parts of roleplay such as PoliceRP, CourtRP, etc. And should not be overlooked. 1. Money: Ability to charge fees to the defendant represented = Right now, cops are reluctant to uncuff criminals in the cells, and that doesn't guarantee they have the money on them. 2. Place of Operations: With the removal of World Corp, it is hard to find a good place to discuss legal matters. Something small, like a small little hole-in-the-wall room for law firms to own. I could probably think of many other ideas to help revitalize this section of roleplay, let's just start with these two.

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

Hi - banning admin here Unfortunately you had gone offline by the time I was ready to pull and speak with you, I apologize. Your ban is the product of a variety of clips and pieces of evidence shared with me by the TM, in conjunction with your extensive history of notes, including 4 bans. No active threat is made to you in the duration of your interaction with the TM. As can be seen in the linked clip, you did not pull your weapon until you had seen the TM begin to holster his, at which point you shoot him. - https://outplayed.tv/garrys-mod/mEjMDJ You have also been seen to harass and bait at the property across different chars, with a consistent group of at least one other player. https://outplayed.tv/garrys-mod/B5yzJv Here is you pictured with said player on the char who was involved in this current issue: (I believe the image is corrupted here, I will reupload it if strictly necessary) The TM had known you by name and had also made complaints of harassment and potential metagame via referencing his IC name in an IC channel, on a character you do not have his f3. Overall, the clear cut RDM with a serious history of notes is what has landed you with a 10 day ban, which seems more than generous looking at your overall record, and history of short bans despite it. Hope this explains my thought process, and good luck on your appeal

As a member of the NYPD ive personally killed atleast 7 officers for various minor reasons

If your description wasn’t gay as fuck maybe people wouldn’t make fun of it

I don't think any youtuber would take any amount of money to endorse the server tbh for the sole fact that people can say nearly anything on the server and it wouldn't really look good on them

+1000000 Great guys, met them in game and they do good RP

+1 good people behind the faction

+1 doesn't make sense why it can't work this way. It would also be helpful to clarify what lockers can and can't be lock picked into.

You can throw it a maximum of like 6 inches. My character is 6’8 280 and black. He could throw something across an entire football field.

when I was a cop I would routinely take bribes to let people off for pretty serious infractions. If I could whack other cops i certainly would.

-1 Terrible interaction with this group already, they don't seem to have the intent to roleplay properly. Application is lacking. Group does not seem unique at all.

More peaky blinder roleplayers who kill you for getting too close or for perceived 'disrespect"

-1, seems more like a fast food joint to me also the backstory NEEDS to be improved fs

nah pimp we out... like da watch

Your Character or Steam Name: ThatBananaGuy23 Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): (STEAM_0:0:599425353) Your Discord ID#: BananaMan Reason for ban: RDM POx8 | RDM Bait Length of ban: 10 days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): dispute Why should you be unbanned? While driving my forklift around town, I noticed that the gate to warehouse number 1 was open. I drove into warehouse number 1 because I could see several forklift trucks and a bunch of boxes. Upon entering the warehouse, there was an individual that had a gun and instructed me to leave the warehouse. I left the warehouse and exited the property as instructed. The individual continued to aim his firearm at me after I had left the property, thereby making him an active threat. The rules state that players may be killed if they are an active threat, therefore, I took the appropriate actions. There was also no signs of me RDM baiting him? This ban makes no sense to me.

+1 Playtime is a concern but I think he would be a solid addition to the staff team regardless, primarily because of the very mature responses to the lowest common denominator niggas in the comments

Valid then haha

men do the same irl. Imagine getting the police called on you for going 5 over the speed limit. It’s no different than getting staff called on you for the most minor rule infraction. You seem obsessed with following the status quo don’t give me that appeal to authority bullshit.

everyone that played on Miami misses it dearly, myself included. Miami died because the server simply didn’t have enough people playing on it and people eventually returned to south side (it was familiar for them) with all this money pendred has been making from the custom content a gmod YouTuber can be paid to advertise diverge. This would bring in an influx of new players, so many that Miami could be added back and be alive once again. The new players would eventually get hooked on the server (because Miami was amazing) and begin to spend money. This is a fabulous investment opportunity!

In my humble opinion, making staff tickets to report any minor rule violation you encounter is actually more harmful to the RP than the rule broken itself. Being pulled out of an RP situation, placed into a strange room, interrogated. The destruction of roleplay. Why? You may have accidentally hit someone with your car, said something out of character, behaved in a way that would anger a career tattle tale. I just had a recent situation where I used my propgun to simulate me throwing trash at the police station as my character was a disgruntled dishonorably discharged cop and there is no “throw” function. Female police officer immediately begins throwing a fit yelling at others to “make a staff ticket for prop abuse” absolutely destroying the roleplay situation at hand. Why is this acceptable? Why do people care so much? Maybe we can think about changing the culture on this server and shame people who frequently make staff tickets over very unserious things.
