Your Character or Steam Name: Eugene Le'Cassier Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_1:0:138039649 Your Discord ID#: kyngholiday Reason for ban: Fail Escalation / RDM Length of ban: 2 Days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute/Apology Why should you be unbanned?: I believed my actions were appropriate based on the situation. We were selling tickets for a boxing event inside AND outside the restaurant, with active RP and customers nearby. The officer entered with his gun out, which immediately disrupted the scene and scared off people trying to buy tickets. This hindered our business. We asked him multiple times to leave the property because his presence was interfering with our roleplay. He eventually stepped outside, but stayed right near the entrance, which continued to deter customers and hurt the RP. I ask that it be recognized that escalation with police cannot merely start with punching a cop. I'd be PKed in a heartbeat, or be a tactical disadvantage. Instead, I waited for his conduct to continue to go on, he clearly wasn't intending on deescalating or leaving the area. There was no fail escalation here. From my perspective, this felt like harassment or an attempt to find a legal reason to shut down the scene. That’s why people began recording, as part of RP. I wasn’t trying to break rules or escalate improperly — I was trying to protect the RP we had going. If I misunderstood how escalation or police presence should be handled, I’m willing to adjust going forward.

Your Character or Steam Name: Lord515 Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:94298612 Your Discord ID#: otto515 Reason for ban: Alt Account of: STEAM_0:0:610317305 Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): 3 years ago, there was a war on the Principatos. I was away on vacation and out of the loop for Diverge. In the past I had given Hakai (the man who used my acc as an alt) my steam account to play some games and I had forgotten about it. Hakai got banned right before the start of the war and when the war was going on he hopped on my account and attempted to join the server without me knowing anything about it. In conclusion I am sorry for being a retard for sharing my account with Hakai, I did not know he was gonna do anything bad with my account or even try to use my actual account as an alt. Why should you be unbanned?: It has been almost 3 years since the ban, 3 years basically without GMod or any roleplay games. I would like to say I have matured over the time, I also joined the army of my country where I met SJ who told me about how much has changed and it made me want to be a part of the whole scene again (Yes, SJ is literally a squad leader in the same platoon as me, I am the gunner on an APC). I always loved Diverge when I played and I should have made this appeal earlier, I again apologize for my lack of intelligence. Prior to my ban I believe I was a model player with basically no warns/kicks/timeouts. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): I am uploading an image where it is literally me and SJ talking about times past

i ain’t reading allat but first off think about how many factions are on a day and compare all of those people to how many people are on cop chars there’s usually 10-20 cops on a day compared to 90-80 mafia members pretty unfair to the police so as it is they are given slight advantages against mafia members

He already did

I do have a concept for this written already so basically its a todo. Not a huge impact but enough to be fun.

there is a moonshining system that i heard apparently was in the server back in the day (couldve been fake news), asking for diverse range of alcohol is quite a stretch but overall +1 to another form of money making that is already around, even if it wasnt as profitable as drugs it would encourage a new range of RP, business ideas, faction ideas for future apps/current ones and civilian RP

1 thousand USD please

Your Character or Steam Name: Claymore "Archer" Grills/ Valentino Lorenzo Giorgiano Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): 76561198169747138 Your Discord ID#: 140666367962513408 Reason for ban: Char Abuse Length of ban: 3 days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute? Why should you be unbanned? I am unsure why I have gotten a Char Abuse ban and just want some insight into the ban. If I was selling firearms on my char I always charged extra and I am fairly certain that I charged enough for it to not be char abuse. There have only been a few instances of me selling for less when someone had helped me process drugs and I allowed an extra discount because of their time helping me, so I am just a little confused on why I was banned without being pulled into a sit and given that information. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): I do not have any

I just got literally arrested yesterday. Like ????? Why even have them?? All I wanted to do was play my 3d cookie clicker. I click the drug buy. I wait, and play cookie clicker on my phone (i LOVE incremental games) and then I pick up my drugs. Why do we NEED cops for this process?? Like, yesterday I was processing drugs that I bought, and I was playing Adventure Capitalist on my phone irl (i LOVE incremental games) and I go to sell my drugs to the npc, and a cop arrests me for open carry??? Like why break the RP????? I now have to reset my drug process and I dont even get a prestige bonus. Please fix, this is actually ruining the game (i LOVE incremental games) or just rename the server POLICE RP because thats what its BECOME.

Honestly, you haven't proven yourself. Every time you were punished for certain things, you would mention that you would improve, but you would do the complete opposite. Every time we've forgiven you, you've given us the middle finger. It's nothing related to that certain people in the team are biased or have a grudge against you. You keep stubbing the same toe to the same fucking rock everytime. If you think you deserve to return I think the best right now is to throw money at it so you actually have something to prove to us. Since to me, your word means absolutely nothing

Naughty boy, it's been long enough.

In-Game Name(s): Jackson Kinahan, Public Defender Craig Hamilton, Albert Trigger, Giovanni Salvati Steam Name: jaboinkle Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198858480296/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:449107284 Discord Username: dorugo Age: 17 When did you first join the server: September, but didn't fr play until January Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 3w 4d 13h 43m Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 7-12 hours a 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'm willing to learn. 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?: My motivation for applying is that I've been very much connected with this server for the past couple of months. I've also noticed that during non-peak hours, the time for a ticket to be accepted by an admin is very slow. This has resulted in some frustration between peers of mine, and including myself. I also am very eager to become a staff member. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I believe that my ability to exclude bias during important decisions makes me viable for staff. I also don't really have an ego, and I am very reflective of my own decisions at times. I also am involved in a lot of aspects of Diverge, being underboss in a criminal faction, a former Senior Officer in PD, and as a current Public Defender. With this, I can provide a good general insight on all things surrounding the server. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): No previous staffing experience. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Unfortunately, I have been banned once on the server for Middle manning a money transfer. However, I have grown from this idiotic mistake, and have read the rules countless times since then. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I would say I am moderately known in the community, but not fully known, with my reputation being a fun and outgoing person who can get serious in times where seriousness is needed. Most of PD and Lawyers will recognize me as PD Craig Hamilton, and most of my faction and other criminally-minded chars will recognize me as Jackson Kinahan. Overall, I think my reputation is mostly positive, as I try to be as cool as possible with everyone. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: There's too many to chose from, so Ima give my top 3 (no particular order) 1) Becoming Underboss in a criminal faction. That was really cool for me and was a reflection on how far I came with them. 2) Alien invasion event at like 3 am. Was very cool mowing down aliens. 3) The February racket event. It brought a lot of people close and I had a lot of fun during it. 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?: If I am not busy with roleplay matters, I will take the ticket immediately. If I am busy, I will make sure to keep an eye on the tickets to see if any other staff takes it. Once any important matters are concluded and the ticket is still open, I will take it, or in the case of something else, I will ask them to remake the ticket. 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?: To begin with, I would attempt to chat with them privately about their abuse in a manner that is polite and respectful. This is because if I were to immediate jump the gun and report him, there could be some vital knowledge that would result in the abuse of power, and I would look dumb for reporting it. Nonetheless, I would explain what I observed and ask for their feedback, reasoning, or further insight on what I saw. If the issues persist without any clear deductive reasoning behind it, I would bring it up to higher staff, following the protocols that are in place. 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?: Rules are rules. If you break them, you are to be warned/punished, no matter who it is. However, to reduce bias, I would first see if any fellow staff members could take the ticket. If it's just me on, then I will try my best to respond to the ticket in the most unbiased manner I can, strictly looking at the rules to see if any rule break had occurred. However, if the personal connection is too strong, a conflict of interest would occur, which would constitute bias. If this happens, then I would try to look for another staff member to respond to the ticket. ---------------------------------------------------------

+1 amazing dude and a very good role player

yet another ape making the same suggestion for the 450th time. the reason police get treated differently is because they're massively outnumbered and so a thumb has to be applied to the scale. if cops could be pked because they annoyed someone (which is a natural result of 99% of the things they do, because youre all criminals), the NYPD would be depopulated within a week and the server would dry up shortly thereafter. suggesting that staff are just "not taking it seriously" is shortsighted. shooting cops directly outside of your obvious criminal front business because their presence upsets you is also retarded if you apply any thought at all. in real life this would bring your entire business down within a couple of days, if not sooner. and again, its the police's job to frustrate criminals. as for people rejoining PD after being removed/killed, unironically not a thing i can think has happened lately. matteo smith tried it and got dumped instantly, monaclu managed to "return" (two ranks lower even now) after four months of work, and i came back slowly over eight months. it might seem like cops are too powerful or excessive because, in your own mind, youre not "that much" of a criminal, basically a normal citizen, so them annoying you is undeserved. take one look at your character and remember all the meth you make and people youve shot and then actually think, "why might the police be an annoyance to me" shocking lack of critical thought from a former up-and-coming cop/lawyer. disappointing

Dude fucking imagine SCPs roaming the streets of NYC, killing all in their path with MAC10s and fucking skorpions supplied by the vendors around the city. I have two personal favourite SPCs that I would like to see, these are the following: SCP-3008 (The infinite IKEA), This one would be great because its a building that could add loads of RP to the server as well as an area to PK??? SCP-6868 (The rubber ducky), this one could be more of a passive one that could chase players around the server and kill them after a while, dude imagine getting PKed by a rubber ducky so fucking gold and comedy hilarious. Please let me know other SCPs we should add to server and here are some reference images:

+1 Good Luck

This is all you need to say for me to -1

Requested Remedy: TIGHTEN POLICERP RULES I think everyone on this server has experience a police interaction where they've sincerely thought that the Police were extremely coddled. Police that didn't fear their own lives because of the current rule sets that govern PoliceRP. I am going to go in depth here, and I implore you to read all of it. Does anyone remember William McFarland? Almost every faction from SOS to Kosher wanted this guy dead for some reason or another. Because he just continuously fucked with the wrong people. What was his punishment? It wasn't getting mugged by a large group of people (The only way to kill a cop), because that would be impossible (He would've killed someone along with him—too much risk for a reasonable faction to take). Nothing the FUCKING MAFIA could've done would've been good enough to take William McFarland down. How did he go? He was fired internally for incompetence, which is a subjective reason, nothing objective, such as screwing over multiple people's years long characters, or the constant disrespect. Nope, incompetence from within. What is more MAFIARP than taking matters into your own hands. For the rule of needing multiple people to place a cop under FearRP in a mugging, let's change that to the same standard as Civilian on Civilian muggings. What does the Civilian lose if they're killed? They lose a character that was established with either rank, items, or reputation. What does the cop lose? At best? 1 week before he can make another cop character. This is still lopsided, but at least it's better. Fuck! At least make it 2 to their 1 for the mugging. At least then it's fair! Cops already are likely to pull out their guns to respond to the threat presented to them, why not make it more dynamic with more to lose. Next, I'd like to bring up the fact of police being able to walk into, in front of, or near certain properties owned by the Mafia. Yes, I was banned for this. Yes, I am referring to my ban. If a cop comes into your business, that you are actively selling tickets, items, or otherwise regular business operations and loiters, or refuses to leave, this shouldn't be RDM to take him out of your property forcefully. We need a rule that specifies this and limits it of course. Obviously, multiple warnings given and the ability to articulate what type of business he was impeding before killing the guy. I don't see how it's fail escalation or RDM if you kill the cop for screwing with your business. But if you shot him, and another cop sees it, they can kill you, and all of a sudden it's no longer and issue of RDM or Fail Escalation, it's now a PK. Like come on! That is outrageously unbalanced and unfair towards criminals/civilians. The cop in this instance should be warned multiple times, if he willfully refuses to leave, any criminal would take that opportunity to kill the cop and move on with their day. It should be a valid reason, especially if customers are leaving because of it. Realistically, all of the current rulesets outlining policeRP etc MUST be reviewed because they're took lenient for cops and impose and undue burden on criminals seeking recourse. The worst that can happen to one of us? We lose everything we've worked towards. In my shoes? I lose a 50000s SSN, probably 10 million dollars in assets, my reputation I built on the character, Hours logged on the character, and I have to wait a week before I can even think about joining the same faction. For cops? They lose their pretty little rank and the badges that can easily be given back on another character after a week. I've seen countless posts on the forums talking about this very subject. It's time the staff team took this seriously.
