In-Game Name(s): Carlo Lucchese (now Carlo Medici), Marco Vercelli Steam Name: Krokie Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Kro_kie/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:626268130 Discord Username: Crocie Age: 20 When did you first join the server: Sun, 17 Jul 2022 11:12:57 GMT Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 8mo 1w 3d 3h 36m Time Zone: GMT/BST (UK) How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: an hour or two per day 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 Answers What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I've been on the server since 2022 and have made countless memories and friends via diverge. I've considered staffing for a long time but more so recently as I want to benefit the server in more ways that just via my roleplay. I believe becoming a staff member and eventually maybe a GM will allow me to benefit the server in ways past just roleplaying. * Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I've been a consistent player since I joined and have only taken one serious break during that time. During this extended time on the server I've played without being banned by understanding and following the rules. I've also played at all levels on the RP side of the server and therefore have an in depth understanding of RP and how staff should interact with it. * Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I do not have any previous staffing experience. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have not been banned. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: Since I started out on diverge I have been a part of factions and friend groups of all types ranging from my first faction (Zolotoy Bratva) under the federation in 2022, to being in my second faction (Diamond Syndicate) under the commission at the start of 2023. Since then I have been High Command in 3 different factions with a wide variety of relationships with the other factions of the server. These relationships with other factions include being at war, being a district and helping lead and manage alliances. Because of this I'd say I have become very well known in the community in a large variety of circles across alliances, friend groups and individual factions. Additionally throughout all of this I believe I have gone without having any major OOC issues with anyone and have pushed RP as much as possible. Thanks to all of this I'm confidant I am very well known, have a good reputation and am reasonably well liked. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: My favourite diverge moment Honourable Mentions: JMoorsey VDM, Bullets TP, Flying Ferrari, Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Pendred ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: If I witnessed the situation, I would start by taking a clip before reaching out in staff chat to inform an on duty member of the team of the situation. If a ticket had already been made/taken, I'd send the staff member dealing with the situation my clip and attempt to give any information on the situation. I would only take the ticket if I was the only staff member online and had not been involved with the situation. 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?: Take clips/screenshots over time to build proof and bring it to Upper Administration. 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 first avoid taking the ticket and make staff chat aware that I was avoiding taking it. If I was the only staff member available to take the ticket, then I would request any evidence and information regarding the situation. I would carefully consider this, if unsure I'd request additional opinions from someone uninvolved with the faction/friend. If I came to an understanding that the person the ticket was made against had broken the rules, I'd look into their history of bans and notes before giving them a punishment based on the actions committed and their history.

Suggestion: Introduce a newer, more premium phone such as the "Motorola MicroTAC 9800X" (released April 25, 1989) to the Electronics Store. Why?: 1. It's era-appropriate for the time setting, and shows tech advancement/improvements within the late 80s and early 90s. 2. It could take up 1 inventory slot instead of 2, giving an incentive to upgrade.

Your Character or Steam Name: String Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:569612902 Your Discord ID#: string_000 Reason for ban: Lying to staff Length of ban: 3 days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute. I got banned for a reason that doesn't even exist and I didn't even lie on purpose, I was saying what I thought was true at the time. The admin extended the ban from 1 day to 3 days, I'd appreciate a full unban. Also the situation was fucked from the beginning, I had robbed a apt building 5-10 mins before I had gotten banned, and the whole reason I even got put into a sit was due to me wondering why I had gotten rdmed. The person I had robbed was a black jew, the person who killed me was a white guy wearing a payday 2 mask. That is why i was confused and had made the sit in the first place, and when Crimson the shitty admin who took my ticket pulled me into the sit room, I had said why i just got rdmed randomly and had left out that I had robbed his friend, but I never knew it was his friend in the first place, so after I show him my clip, he comps my knife and lets me go and I go on with my day then 2 mins later, I get pulled back into his sit and he starts yelling at me saying I lied to him and that I was at fault and now was getting banned for "lying to staff" for some reason. I tried explaning that I didnt know that was his friend and if i knew it in the first place I wouldnt had made the rdm sit anyways. But he didnt care and started yelling at me and started to shut me up for no reason and then banned me?? Ive never dealt with such a dumb way to get banned, I don't get it at all and this crimson guy needs either to get removed from staff or demoted or some brand new training cause ts is not good. Why should you be unbanned? I didn't do what I was banned for Additional Information (images, videos, etc) Yes i have clips and SS of discord convo between us. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mjps1fx87MZTnUODW?invite=cr-MSxrd3YsMjE2ODcxNDk&v=124 https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mjpqsJUIYQgbg72Hn?invite=cr-MSw4TFgsMjE2ODcxNDk&v=254 - clip where i get banned In the clips above the first clip I had provided was the intial clip where I had died and the first sit room he took me to where he had heard my side of the story and had given me a comp. The second clip above was where he had took me to a sit room and started bashing me and yelling at me and not allowing me to say my side of the story and banning me for 1 day then later made into 3 days for some fucking reason https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mjptfk1URxdTI1Ayp?invite=cr-MSxkTE8sMjE2ODcxNDk This clip is where I had died and requested the comp for my weapon , the guy i robbed was black mind you and this guy was a white guy wearing the payday mask and my reason to making the staff ticket. If i had known that the guy i robbed friends killed me then i wouldnt had cared and would of moved on with my day, but i didnt know and that is the reason for the ticket for the comp. Also last thing, crimson in the intial sit video never asked me why happened before i got rdmed, i just stated my facts and said that he came up to me for no reason and rdmed me, i never mentioned and idk why i would need to mention that i robbed somebody that was not even relevent in the fact of that time, I just want this shit off my record, worst fucking ban reason of all time and can someone please tell me in the rule book where it says that lying to staff is a ban? ive been staff 2x times on diverge and never seen ts before,

Out of all my muggings on Hans since being back, I have only pk'd a few people. Also, the clip someone provided somewhere above this of me only mugging someone with no value is about the only clip of me mugging someone with no value. So, get your facts straight and quit acting like all I did on the server was mass mug and minge. You, just like a lot of the people in the server, just don't like people mugging, it's as simple as that. I have written in a document every mug I have done on my Hans character since being back and only 2 of them didn't have serious value. Sure, there was a rare occasion where I was in an alley and couldn't see that someone didn't have serious value. But acting like that's all I went for is completely wrong. Never did I mass mug, NITRP, or PK hunt. I only hear people complaining about the mugging problem and never telling people to put their gun on safety in alleyways. If you are dumb enough to have no guns out in a mugging zone then you are just stupid and deserve to be mugged. Also just curious because apparently all I did on the server was mug. Is there any proof of that? All I have seen from you ( the banning admin ) is just saying it was a group decision from other admins and they feel that's all i've done aswell. It would be nice if I could see any sort of proof of this pk hunting, mass mugging, and NITRP that you're speaking about. Never did I pk hunt, never did I break the rules by mass mug, and never did have no intent to roleplay.

In-Game Name(s): Luca Vintaloro, Senior Officer Sebastian Garcia, Arturo Bonanno and Ryan Goystein Steam Name: Bullets Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Jitq/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:746698861 Discord Username: “ibullets.” Age: 17 When did you first join the server: June 2nd, 2024 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 3 months 4 weeks Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 12+ hours a week Have you read the rules?: Of course 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?: All too well Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: I do. ------------------------------------------------- What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * I am applying for multiple reasons, one being Gamemaster. Since I've started playing the server I've basically always wanted to host and create GM events to create more things to do on the server for the community. As of recent I've noticed UA has been looking to make GM events more motivated to keep GM events fun RP wise and I believe if given the opportunity I would excel greatly within the position of Gamemaster. My other reason is again community based, I want people on the server to actually have fun and not have any poor experiences with staff this might be biased but I believe in my past I was a good unbiased member of staff, yes I wasn't perfect at points but I tried my best to provide the best experience possible. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I think I should be considered for a plethora of reasons I can list a few, I was previously staff for 8+ months and hit quota nearly every week, I missed it twice I believe. I got too much playtime on the server and can help out with nearly every issue a player would have. I will and HAVE banned my friends if they're acting like retards and breaking the rules, check Mards' bans for proof of this. In the sit room I hold 0 bias so you wont have to worry of any issues arising from accepting me. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I was staff on some shit bag DarkRP server years ago and staff on here from 2024-2025 Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: NITRP | Mass VDM | LTAP - I was brand new to the server and was being a retard. RDM (POs x1) - I was messing around and RDM'd a kind hearted girl Metagame - Genuinely bullshit I didn't do anything, I was accused of metagaming that a Kosher Nostra member was in jail but I was literally just pissing about swapping characters and it was wrong place wrong time. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * People have mixed opinions about me, I hold no grudges. I'm a lover not a fighter... What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: This GM event: CLIP Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: N/A ------------------------------------------------- Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I would notify the other staff online in @ chat about the incident in case of any MRDM, but in most situations, I wouldn't deal with it personally, unless this player is obviously just going around killing people for no reason. 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 let the Senior Admin+ know about the abuse with clips for proof of it. 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 deal with the sit as I would normally if they have recent notes about the same thing I would ban them, if they didn't have recent notes or no notes at all I would just give them a note. If I punished him differently (not noting/banning them for example) then if I didn't know him that would be completely biased. I would also call for a different staff if the reporting player wants a different one because of suspicion of bias.

Hi I am the banning Admin You called in a ticket for rdm after being killed For what i could see was random I didn't ask about the background as I thought at the time it was just street beef but You stole from the people and got killed for it which was lying to me as it wasn't random and when I pulled you originally you told me there was no reason for him to and yet you knew you had stolen from Him I believe you lied to me at the time to try and get away with it I saw the clips of you robbing them and the clip of you getting killed. I am sorry to have angered you but that is what I have to say.

Brandbaby STEAM_0:1:111443322 slumslimerbizzle USER ID 262741779780993036 Reason for ban: RDM x1 and combat log (I think) Lenghth of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal: I just want to play this with my friends again. I barely remember but I shot somebody in an alley and logged a year or two ago. I really want to play again my friends keep telling me to hop on. This is one of the good servers and I would like to continue playing. What happened wasn't a full representation of my character. I'm confident once I brush up on the rules I can do better. Nothing like that will happen again. It was a joke gone bad, I didn't expect to be banned for life, I am sorry for it. If i remember right it was a year or two ago. I've appealed before, and it was denied. I plan on being active and adding to the atmosphere of the server if I can get this appealed.

Thank you for applying to the Diverge Networks staff team. Unfortunately, your application has been denied. You may apply again in 30 days. You may apply sooner if you receive permission from a Super Administrator or higher.

+1 I think Crocie would be an excellent addition to the staff team, he's a very well known member of the community, well versed in the server's rules, and has proven himself time and time again as an unbiased mediator in situations that need it!

loved the tittle. We've been asking for this for a while. I wonder, what if we also added a feature where after owning/possessing the phone for a period of time, you can destroy it by "snapping" it like a burner style. But then again we do have payphones around but eh "immersion"

+1 goofy doe approved

Didn't ask for my recommendation. -1 Just kidding, he's a chill guy, bit Irish though so not too sure how I feel about that. +1

+1 well-liked player, good roleplay, would be a great addition

Mahoosive +1 for my boy. can’t wait to flirt with you in staff chat

+1 i know this guy hes a cool guy and you should know him too

+1 Crocie... with great power comes great responsibility, metagame wisely.

I'm not even going to put down a + of minus but the way you have evolved around Diverge I do believe you are still a bit to immature for certain ways of handling situations which you have proven to us, a way how you respond to scenarios already being handled or that couldve easily been avoided or was already solved. You'd be lighting the torch back on fire. I don't think you can keep your temper well enough that a staff member needs within the team.

Im just here for the reacts +1

hi so what exactly did he rulebreak? because last I checked mass mugging is mugging right after mugging someone before the timer runs out as you can see in this image And also who hunts for pks besides cops? if you're not valuing your life and not following orders from the people who put you in fear rp, you should be pk'd if killed. I know if I was caught in a mugging zone without my gun on safety I would for sure comply as I value my characters life, to me that's not PK hunting, that's just logic.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I would love a blue gem butterfly just be inspecting the fuck out of that shit while mafia rping

Hello! As already stated you were PK’d for starting a violent confrontation with police. This is clear from you being the one to begin shooting at a clearly marked NYPD officer. His badge is in plain view and his crest on his shoulder is right in your face where you were “trying to place your crosshair” which apparently obscured your vision enough to not see the blue name over his head. The next argument you try to make is that the raid is invalid which means it’s all invalid. That is false for the OOC side of things. If you believe it was illegal that is an IC issue and would be handled via the courts not an OOC PK appeal. The question UA had to decide is that if this raid was false enough to be considered fail corruption which would be an OOC factor affecting your PK. We have decided it is not. The officers had a search warrant for the exact location you were located in. They acted on the location that was signed off on by the judge. Anything beyond that is an IC issue. Appeals are not a way to settle or get around IC issues. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.

Hello i am the DA that got this raid executed . Stop crying about getting Pked. It is a fair PK. Cops raid the room you tired to shoot them. you missed all your shots and got packed.

I like the idea of having new melee that remains in the 1990s feel of things, such as knuckle dusters or flip knives etc etc.

I feel like instead of it being Main locked it should be a minimum amount of char play time. Locking it to main would suck for those that don’t get to enjoy those mechanics or certain types of rp that they may not be able to do on their mains. Having a minimum amount of play time on a char would force individuals that try to abuse to actively put effort into their char and that faction.

-1 The real life Mafia had expendable men from all around the world depending on the race of the crime syndicate. Like for Italians they had zips from Italy come to America to murder somebody for them if they didn't want to risk their own men getting pinched or whacked, take The Tailors from the Sopranos for an example they were zips brought from Italy to be hitmen , when the war between the two families was happening they sent an Asian zip to go take care of a guy. It's just part of the roleplay and I honestly think taking away that aspect of the Italian Mafia it closes a lot of doors. I can see where you're coming from on this but it really doesn't make a difference in the long run because at the end of the day somebodies dying.

Hi banning admin here. I was asked to weigh in on, and then enact your ban during a conversation with at least 6 other staff members, including staff higher ranking than myself. Looking through your logs, it is blatantly apparent to me, as well as the other staff, that you don't intend to roleplay. In your previous appeal, you said: "If I get unbanned, I plan to roleplay and add to the servers experience instead of take away from it. If I come back to the server I won't be mugging at all, shouting at people for no reason, or breaking any rules." So far you have spent most of your time mugging, outside of that AFK'ing at your property, and making negative and cringeworthy Underground Advertisement endlessly. It's worth noting that hiring a few people and ordering oil is not what constitutes roleplay. Your provided evidence of roleplay is also pretty sub-par. You have been known to mug various people who blatantly have nothing of value on their person, which to my eye is likely PK hunting. You make the core of your character, down to his nickname, about mugging. You post a large number of rumours per session gloating about your muggings, and announcing plans for your next muggings. All of this adds up, as well as your previous bans and reputation - to show that you are just a mugging character, who can provide little to no valuable roleplay to the server. The testimony of a small handful of Takahashi players that you "have been helpful in the 1 week you were there" is not doing much to disprove that, either. PK hunting, most failmugs (which you have done at least one) and NITRP are all bannable offenses. Referencing Canadian's judgement on your perma ban appeal: "If you are banned again it will be extended to permanent once more." Thus I extended your ban to permanent. TL;DR - I was asked to ban you if I believed your actions constituted a ban, I did, as did numerous other staff. You had a 1 strike, you're out policy laid out to you when you were unperma'd. Good luck on the appeal.

-1 First of all, I have to admit that I found it quite amusing that you decided to list your age as one year older in your staff application. That alone already says quite a lot about your level of maturity. At the end of the day, you’re still just a high school student, and from what I’ve observed, you seem to spend more time mocking other players and getting involved in pointless arguments than actually contributing anything meaningful to the community. On top of that, asking your friends or people around you to support your application with +1s doesn’t exactly make you look any more credible. If anything, it only reinforces the impression that you’re more interested in attention and validation than in actually taking responsibility. Because of this, I genuinely don’t think someone with your current level of maturity is suitable for a staff position. A staff member is expected to represent fairness, professionalism, and the ability to remain calm and respectful even in difficult situations. From my perspective, you still have quite a lot to learn before you’re ready for a role that carries that kind of responsibility. And to be completely honest, I highly doubt that a server like Diverge Networks, which aims to maintain a certain level of quality and professionalism, would seriously consider adding someone to their staff team who constantly looks for opportunities to be toxic and mock other players instead of helping maintain a healthy community environment. The fact that all four staff members you listed are in the same family as you is already quite a joke :D. ( Boosted, Dopeasretired, Schmekles, Lunar, ) Your Don, Your Underboss, Your Capo, And Your Senior Streetboss You’ve written a story claiming you won’t show bias, but I’m more than confident that once you’re on staff, you’ll become the king of bias. NOTE: And before you start making fun of it, yes, I used ChatGPT for this text because I felt the need to carefully explain in my own language just how pathetic and pitiful of a person you are.
