I was contracted by Bao Zen Nosha to mug this a specific person that either left or was unwhitelisted in Takashashi. He said to grab all the Japenese items that they might have and to return them to him. Upon identifying the female and initiating the mug, I noticed that they would not put their hands up. Given the knowledge that they were in Takahashi and I had recently worked at Takahashi, I knew that this individual may be in possession of a firearm. With this in mind, I did not want to restrain the individual without them putting their hands in the air first as a safety precaution. After many warnings for this person to put their hands up had passed, I decided to just end up shooting them because they were not complying with my demands. I don't see how this is pk hunting, given the contract and it's details. I would understand how this looks like pk hunting if there was no reason behind the mugging. If I was just mugging anybody with clothing store items and trying to force a pk. However, I gave them many opportunities to comply with my demands and they did not listen. Information (images, videos, etc): https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/nH2zOJSAmTQI8PT28?invite=cr-MSwzbVksMTk3ODk5MjU1

I run into a problem with having so much clothing in my banks that sometimes it takes me minutes to find a specific item, I feel as it would be beneficial to have that implemented into the bank system.

I'm trying to figure out how and why this is against the rules. The person was noncompliant. Being non compliant during a mugging gets you killed. If you think for any second that a nga from my whitelist isn't strapped with a pm9, THEY are either retarded or your dead wrong - because everyone has a gun. They should not of kept moving on and off and simply just complied with the mugging and it would've never turned to a pk. I understand why "PK hunting" is being brought up due to the lack of restraints being used, but me personally? I'm not getting pked because some retard cant stand still. Stop making rules to make mugging harder, it's part of the game for a reason. Either take it out completely since everyone's so fucking soft - or make it simple and not such a pain in the ass for someone to successfully perform a mugging. If someone is noncompliant, anyone who would just walk right up and give multiple chances to be able to restrain them, they are not muggers, they are asking to be PK'ed

Agreed the only reason I responded is because my SB was the one who contracted it so I have some investment in this situation. I don't see a single second where I personally would've went in for restraints, until the person was sat still, and stopped playing dumb. Is what it is. Good to know the rules are still backwards ig lol

Right, when the lady stands at the wall completely still - why did she ever move from that spot? the second hans or whoever got close to her she moves off into the road and stands still - If she would of completely stopped and they killed her for not pressing f7 fair enough but this is clearly because she was not compliant - I understand we should only comment on these type of appeals when its important so I hope I do not get a forums warning for this as its not my intent to create a argument with the banning staff but another eye for the reviewing staff I feel like if you watch the video you can see from the second the gun was drawn this person had no concern for there own life - They take off running take 3.5s to stop and then continue moving around while typing "but " but "but " which would also make me think, that they are stalling for non compliance reasons and then she starts walking straight towards them when nobody is telling her to do so - infact she was told to stop running multiple times

Breaking FearRP or showing disregard for your own life which results in death; this means if you kill yourself in an attempt to avoid an arrest or mugging, intentionally drowning or falling to your death to avoid detainment, or even having a friend or faction member kill you while you are detained are all considered a 'disregard for your own life' and can lead to a PK. In what way is repeating "BUT BUT BUT" and walking in circles compliant? Come on bro. This is actually a joke A disregard for your life would be NOT standing still after being told stop and put your hands up would it not?

I found this forum that has cool customization features, we should add them to ours too!

Do you have ANY idea the type of work this would take?! Do you even KNOW how long this would take?!? Just curious, I don't really have a good guess. Hopefully its ez!

I agree with this we need it to be easier to find suits, items, ETC. it would make it so much easier

add a CTRL+F search system in banks so you can find your shit easier

Name of Character: Mike Fingson Character ID: 206152 SteamID: 76561198359163140 Your Discord ID#: monkey1671 Date of PK: 10/9/26 Reason for PK: Dons Orders why should you be unPK? Before the PK, I was RDMed by the same person who later Pked me. As a Result of the RDM, i lost my pistol and was left unprepared for the RP situation. While the PK was happening, i was AFK preparing the clip so i could submit a clip of the RDM to an admin after making a ticket. The RDM put me at a disadvantage by taking away my weapon and distracting me while i was trying to gather evidence and make a report. i believe this made the PK unfair, as the same person who RDMed me benefited from my disadvantage. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/nGZTtpW3NOLkRXS1S?invite=cr-MSxGcjgsMjIwNTI4Mjc1 - clip of rdm | https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/nGZZitHMbsa38jc3S?invite=cr-MSxqSm4sMjIwNTI4Mjc1

Person who did the PK, i had orders, and i had literally confirmed with another admin before doing it. THAT you were set active, and as it turns out... the orginal person who set you active set you unactive. I had you re-set after the fact and i found you and killed you

Hello thank you for your appeal, upon reviewing the situation we would agree that you were mislead in the situation that lead to your death. Due to this the players actions have also been investigated, but I would also advise for you to read the server rules so that means you know situations that could lead to death occur. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

Officers: Cpt+:

In-Game Name(s): Andrea Muller (RIP 10/7/90), Officer Ivan Orlov, Sum Ting Wong Steam Name: pierce Steam Profile Link: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198023784773 Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:31759522 Discord Username: upgg Age: 16 When did you first join the server: About a year and a half ago. Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2w 15h 19m Time Zone: Pacific Time How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 35+ Hours per week 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 but I would be able to pick it up pretty quickly with some practice. 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?: Always loved this community and figured I might as well apply to a staff position. I've noticed there's a few hours every night where no staff are on, I would like to fill that spot so people can always request help no matter what time it is. I have personally had a big issue with this because when no staff are online, every rule starts getting broken and makes the playing experience miserable at least 3 nights a week. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I can put in a ton of hours and I'm primarily awake when there is little to no staff online. If I got accepted, a gap of the day / night with no staff online would be essentially non existent. I would be active all night and most of the early morning (which I've noticed is the main times staff presence is low). Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): A semi-large sandbox server, I was head admin for a couple months before the server shut down and my own sandbox server "Horizon Sandbox" for a few weeks now. 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's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: Known by a decent bit of people as the Trump voice girl. I would personally say my chars are known for being very hard workers and dedicated to putting time into their jobs. I try to keep a good reputation with people I interact with and treat everyone equally. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: There has been so many lol, I'd say this big human staircase thing that was a good 20+ people a few weeks back. It was nice seeing everyone work together for over 10 minutes on it. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Yugi, Gustavo ------------------------------------------------- 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 RDM and make a staff ticket. If no staff respond, I'd report it on the forums just like any other player. 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 as many of these situations as I could and report it to a higher up. 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 proceed by not taking the ticket if they have connection to me IC, humans naturally hold bias towards people they already know so yes, it would most likely lead to bias subconsciously. ~~ Personal Message ~~ Anyone that knows me IC knows that I am ACTUALLY in city every night all night when no staff are online. Anyone that doesn't believe I am, please come around anywhere from 9PM to 1PM Pacific (Almost the entire day EU time). We can meet and maybe shake hands

this is completely unrealistic @DopeAsRoe there will NEVER be a woman as a captain unless its one of them fake ones

Perma killed body's instead of being the normal half life 2 which i believe is boring and kind of repetitive, should be swapped for the corpse of the actual player i have seen this done before and it would be cooler for any detective RP to actually have a dead body Infront of him instead of the same corpse over and over. This makes a more immersive kill too, to see the recipient of the PK's actual corpse makes him more identifiable via witnesses too. Doing a whack in a public place carry's the risk of witnesses snitches etc, to have someone be able to point you out "hey that guy was walking with him when he got murdered" makes the hit way more risky anyway it also adds more investigation then just clicking the "E" key and seeing the name of the person of course that will still be the mechanic but it adds a bit more if the cop has IC knowledge of this person has seen them before or was aware of their whereabouts previous to their demise. That's the pro for the detective RP but there is a few cons to criminal roleplay which a lot of people would dislike but i think its more immersive as mafia roleplay has advanced you see a lot more stuff come around and the game get more immersive to the point you cant tell your playing a half life 2 source engine and it feels like you are playing a separate game i think this breaks away from the Garry's mod part of the game and makes it its special game mode i only see benefits to the experience. I cant imagine the code to this is of a lot of difficulty but i could be wrong. opinions?

Hello, Kinahan was in a civil war, as you already stated, being in support of one side of the faction comes with the risk of being PK'd. Knowing this you went out on the street and actively engaged in "shit talking," you taunted another member that was also active and then proceeded to get caught lacking. 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.

Just to remind staff that when I asked for a PK on my cop char it got rejected because Konrad Samuel hit someone with his baton 4 minutes ago and the guy just pulled out his gun didn't get to shot and he got mowed down and nothing happened.

brochacho, you dont get pk'd if the cop initiates the violent confrontation. The violent confrontation ended then two minutes later you went and shot the cop. ur retarded, you initiated a NEW violent confrontation. -1!!!!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this PK, The faction has made it plenty clear that they only give certain members in their faction permission to sell weapons, something I am sure you were made aware of during your training/is clearly posted in their discord. Even IF you given permission they could still kill you for undercutting them. They got direct proof that you were making those rumours by calling your number and seeing that you picked up. Somewhere in this appeal you mentioned that you never ordered any weapons from the racket, this is flat out false. In your logs there is you ordering weapons and making rumour messages to sell them.

When I'm in a trash music competition and my opponent is a diverge player

i know there was the risks but the thing is that they gained an advantage over me when he RDMed me because i lost my gun, if they didnt rdm me i wouldent have been afk getting a clip for an admin ready. its just unfair because if they didn't rdm me i would have been prepared or at least not sitting down with no way of defending myself.

Thank you.

You may not kill someone or escalate a confrontation to murder just for verbal disrespect/argument. -However if someone continues to disrespect you, you may physically intimidate or hit them. (Fists, melee weapon) As continued disrespect could realistically start a fight. The user then has free choice on how to respond/retaliate. If they choose to flee you may not kill them. a. If the user is attacked they may flee and return later (5 minutes maximum) to exact revenge on the assailants as described under killing rule 6. b. If the user is subject to an active threat via knife or gunpoint they can choose to retaliate or instead leave peacefully. However they may not return later to attack them without sufficient reason as the previous situation had already ended. check letter A out you berk Shook. he fled, didnt resolve it peacefully did he? lol na i know what you gona say... he resolved it by shooting back from the driver side, but it was also somehow peaceful... >.>

The violent confrontation with police is its own rule aswell. Since the situation was more than over and u went and blicky'd that nigga i think its fair to say you initiated a new confrontation there. DONT YOU EVER DUMB REACT ME AGAIN PIPSQUEAK

you seriously defending a cop who shot at a car driver for what reason? shit i randomly shoot a car because i hear someone i want but i hit the wrong person? i'd get punished... bro you a cop main or something? ok with stupid shit from your lowers?

Name of Character: Lev Dragovich Character ID: 203331 SteamID: STEAM_0:0:158162795 Your Discord ID#: 276024386304344075 Date of PK: 10/6/1990 Reason for PK: Shooting at a cop after he shot me. Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: First of all two cops shot at my car and i reacted by going all the way from the back to the front to shoot at them again because im an active threat for no reason but since they shot me they made me an active threat, so my friend swam away and i went back to shoot them. The UA can even check logs and see in a span of 2 minutes i went back and shot the cops that shot me for no reason. I will provide two short clips showing and summarizing everything. So in the first clip slow it down to a 0.5 speed and see two guns where fired at me for no reason, and also you can check logs we didnt run any officers down so that they a reason to shoot at us or anything. Because in the rules it states, Officers may not execute suspects, they must make an effort to arrest a suspect when possible render aid to a bleeding suspect. You can't kill someone if they are no longer an active threat between a reasonable pause. Thats when i went to hide to ambush them and in the second clip it shows they were waiting for us near apps to ambush us. general rules - killing rules 6: You may kill in self defence or in defence of your partners/faction/property (Must have F3). When you've been attacked by an aggressor and survive (you did not aggravate or bait them to hit you) you may return with a weapon to kill them. You may not kill someone or escalate a confrontation to murder just for verbal disrespect/argument. -However if someone continues to disrespect you, you may physically intimidate or hit them. (Fists, melee weapon) As continued disrespect could realistically start a fight. The user then has free choice on how to respond/retaliate. If they choose to flee you may not kill them. a. If the user is attacked they may flee and return later (5 minutes maximum) to exact revenge on the assailants as described under killing rule 6. b. If the user is subject to an active threat via knife or gunpoint they can choose to retaliate or instead leave peacefully. However they may not return later to attack them without sufficient reason as the previous situation had already ended. 1A shows that i can shoot back but i have up to 5minutes and i went back to shoot in literally 2 minutes and logs can vouch for what im saying. 6: You may kill in self defence or in defence of your partners/faction/property (Must have F3). When you've been attacked by an aggressor and survive (you did not aggravate or bait them to hit you) you may return with a weapon to kill them. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/nFlTNBHzRI2cFm0pN?invite=cr-MSxsQTEsMjAxODI5NTQy https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/nFlUqd93BOssY-8ce?invite=cr-MSxCOFAsMjAxODI5NTQy

prolly wouldn't have killed me the second time if i knew it wasn't RDM but alr

@Hans Hunnebunbeing a mugging connoisseur should know that "put your hands in the air" or "put your hands up" is not a valid request during a mugging. I'm pretty sure that's been stated time and time again. If I were in your shoes i'd take the 30 day and be thankful that it's not a 4th perma ban.

This is an extremely blatant PK hunting scenario - You had over 17 seconds in close proximity to the player, without tying them and still you imply they weren't complying with the mug when they clearly were - you just wanted to try and pull off a fast one. The fact you are mugging AT ALL is a wonder, after 3 perma-bans I think you should have learnt your lesson. You were also more recently told in a UA ticket to cut it out. Regardless of the context of you being hired to target mug a guy or not, it's clear you were intending on killing, not mugging. Nothing about the backstory you are telling explains, permits or in anyway justifies the behavior that happens during the mug, it's just a grasp at straws to justify your actions. You are genuinely lucky that I felt it'd be better to ban you for 4 weeks in this instance, as others were happy to perma you once again. On your next mugging related offense, you will almost certainly be re-perma'd. Have a good one and good luck on the appeal. Should it stand, the 4 weeks will hopefully serve as a reminder that you are on thin ice.
