In-Game Name(s): Timm Caputo (Rest in Peace.) Dr. Luceria Lunestra, and Maurice di Dowson. Steam Name: Mmmm_Cookies Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199571032451 Steam ID: 76561199571032451 Discord Username: Mmmm_Cookies Age: 20 When did you first join the server: About a year ago Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 1mo 2w 5d 28m Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: Few hours a day, more at night I imagine Have you read the rules?: Thoroughly 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): I do Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: I am 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 original reason/motivation for applying still stands. I first started playing Diverge quite a few months ago, and over the course of a year, I had an absolutely great time playing. A few months back, I got busy with a lot of work and had to gradually stop altogether, but I'm no longer busy, and the sparks are back, I suppose. Being a crime char, and even being staff for a time, led to me making some unforgettable buddies who I still speak with to this day. My main reason for applying (again) is just wanting to give it another shot. I personally thought I did pretty well before, but a lot of the good came at a bad time, so I regret stopping. I very sincerely apologize to Boom and Dong for wasting your time on the last one, if I had known that would've happened, I would've waited. Hopefully, you guys can look past it. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I think I should be considered over others because of my general knowledge of the rules and stuff. and prior experience. Before, as a staff, I don't believe I had any issues with anybody, and my sits were *always* unbiased. Besides that, I feel like I'm a pretty fair and helpful person, and I would hope most people agree with me. I'm sure I need to re-learn some shit, but I am absolutely willing to and looking forward to (hopefully). Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position, and how long): I was an admin and gamemaster a while back (for Diverge), I believe it was a few months, 2-3 maybe? Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Never. 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'm fairly well known. I built a pretty solid reputation as a crime char first, and then honestly expanded on that as a staff member. My char (The honorable Timm Caputo) unfortunately got his shit blown off recently and now has a... more embarrassing reputation, but prior to that, he was a lawyer, and I had good relations with most of the factions and quite a bit of the HC. After becoming staff, I made a PD char around the same time, and went into detectives as a corporal from patrol, and I'd say Maurice is equally as well known, honestly, I wasn't *too* harsh. was a part of many events, and has brought a lot of people together, I would hope they remember me. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: One of my favorite moments was early on my crime char, I was driving a Dodge Diplomat around with some Takahashi people and hit a barrel roll over a police stop without even knowing it was there. The absolute best part was messaging people afterwards with my POV, and getting their POV's since I wasnt aware they saw it. Was Spectacular. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: A few have before, I'm not sure if I need to ask again, but on my last application, I had Ace, Boosted, Dong, DopeAsRoe, and Lunar, Sean, Animator, Shauning, Calink, and Z6, along with a few others, I believe. ------------------------------------------------- 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'd wait a minute to see if someone else claimed the ticket, if not I would swap over (aslong as im not in something active) and claim and handle the sit. If I was in an active scenario, just ask someone else to claim it before the guy leaves or something. 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'd just passively gather everything that they've been doing, and reach out to someone higher or make a staff report. Along with asking anyone who's been on the receiving side for their input/evidence. 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'd try and get someone else to handle it first, if it's not possible, and even though I know them, I'm gonna proceed normally. As much as I enjoy my buddies, nobody gets special treatment, twin. Any situation involving someone you know can seem like it's biased from an outside perspective, which is why it's honestly just better to ask someone else to handle the sit. --------------------------------------------------------- Please understand that once a staff application is posted you are open to receiving either negative or positive critique from the community as well as staff. Your consistent activity on the server will also be monitored and applications can remain open for weeks before any sort of decision is made on them.

Your Character or Steam Name: Polar skins.army Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): 76561199043549004 Your Discord ID#: polargmc Reason for ban: Doxing Length of ban: Perma Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute Why should you be unbanned?: Tonight, I was banned unjustly for "Doxing". The person who reported me for this so called "Doxing" is a former friend/schoolmate of mine, who has done nothing but cause problems in my life. He constantly calls me my ign at school to piss me off, as i try to separate my online and offline life to the best of my ability, however when somebody that was close to me decides to not only ruin my RP, Go out of his way to cause issues, cut off all of his friends for this game, has LITERALLY became mentally ill irl, thinking he is a mobster in a real life mafia, making up lies to get attention at the expense of his friends mental health, saying he would kill his ex IRL over diverge shit, and getting kicked out of my current school, he has not only ruined his life, but others mental health. The definition of Doxxing, is one of intent to harm others by revealing personal information to non-involved individuals that have no need to know said information. This is my second ban over my 3 years on diverge, the other being stated as "Minge" when i was immaturely harassing the NYPD. I try to bring a calm, fun tone to Diverge, with a mix of Chaos and Order, but this other individual on the server has done nothing but minge, harass, and cause issues with others. he has had multiple bans, such as but not limited to: Item Transfer, MRDM, RDM, VDM, NITRP, RDM Baiting, LTAP, LTARP, and Mugging/Minge Char. I think by this point, there should be a clear distinction between the average civilian main such as Ling Long, and an immature, mentally ill, special needs (For real) child who has a repertoire of causing issues not only on Diverge, but at his own school AND home. Not to mention after me whispering his name to him, he proceeded to follow me around the map, and state my name. I am entirely willing to send this clip to any Administrator+. If i am to be denied, he should also be banned for doxing, as it seems we have done nearly the exact same thing.

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The ban will be lifted from your account shortly. If it was deemed an invalid ban, it will also be removed from your record.

Can we get examples of how he acts like a mobster irl

I restricted you from creating characters because you were disrupting, abusing and showing you had no regard for characters and roleplay back then. Whilst its been a while i do not mind giving you another chance but you are on very thin ice.

I like how all the “funny moments” clips are just cop baiting, mic spamming and just general minging showing you don’t actually do any sort of RP 3rd clip is like the only one where you don’t break a rule not to mention your responses throughout this appeal are immature and deflective clearly showing no growth

omg he killed a guy then fail rped lets unban this retard immediately

This dude cannot for the life of him stay unbanned

Hi, Looking at the full detail of this case, and having liaised with the banning staff and members of UA - to me, you have not met the burden of proof to show that you were not aware or involved. You were involved with a mass char abuse scheme. When the bans began, you sprinted to the property where the abuse was happening to grab all of the drugs, hiding them in your personal stash. Worth noting is that your character was connected to the more than 10 bank accounts being used to store the products of the mass char abuse, so it would appear you were aware this was a rule break as you attempted to avoid the risk of losing your gains by using your stashes. With a large record of ~30 collective notes and bans, I find it hard to believe you could be ignorant to such blatant rule breaking. When you have a hand in the process of the char abuse, watch it happen first hand, and attempt to further profit from the operation once the bans roll in on everyone else - you still somehow never believed it to have been wrong? It is just not feasible to me. I believe the ban you received is relatively forgiving if anything.

I can be your new dad its okay

Dude dissapeared like my biological father

I got busy with work very bad timing

Name of Faction: Murder, Inc (Murder, Incorporated) Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 18 Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Organized Syndicate Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc):Mutli-Ethnic Name of Character running the faction: Richard Mazza Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): bakedoutamind Your SteamID: STEAM_1:1:493953043 Your Server playtime: 2 months 3 weeks 7 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): Our intention with Murder, Inc. is to offer an organized roleplaying experience of a multi-ethnic criminal enterprise based on reputation and professional relationships rather than “families” or any other stereotypical outfits. We intentionally made our organization multi-ethnic rather than limiting to just one group of people in order to open up further roleplay potential for a wider group of people and characters and to showcase the furthered success a faction can have by removing this largely limiting factor. In our faction, there will be a high degree of professionalism, competence, and reliability. This will allow us to form a fluid and flexible organization capable of acting independently and unbound to specific ethnic, racial, or cultural ties. Our roleplay will be professional contract killings performed by trusted members according to the specific needs of our clients. High-quality performance, complete discretion, and organization will be the most important factors in determining the success of each job. Being the best and the only choice ofr those who need discreet murder services, we plan to build a reputation as a reliable and efficient organization. Additionally, we will perform various other criminal activities to sustain our network and provide for our members. Protection, collection of debts, and trafficking will be among these activities. However, our main goal will remain professional performance of tasks. Our members will have to act in accordance with the rules that we lay out for them. Our roleplay will be based on professional interactions with our contacts and clients, as well as with other factions. Some likely roleplay scenarios we would conduct include negotiating and planning high-level hits and meticulously building positive relationships and a reputation with other factions. When conflicts take place, they will be organized and meaningful, developed step-by-step from negotiations to confrontations and escalations. As a result, we will get a lot of interesting roleplay going such as law enforcement investigations, confrontation with other factions, and fighting to establish our reputation in the criminal scene dominated by old-world crime families. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): Our faction is based around professional contract work, long-term reputation management, and a multi-layered street network. To keep our members active within Murder, Inc., we plan to promote structured operations and a thorough system of progression rather than random and infrequent events. One major point we want to emphasize is the concept of contract developments. Before any high-level hit is approved, members of our faction will have to do their due diligence. This will look like determining client standing, risk assessment, and whether or not the contract is logically sound. The idea is for this to create multi-day roleplay situations involving “surveillance” such as tailing, trading information, and controlled meetings/sitdowns. Not every contract will be accepted, which encourages discussion, tension, and internal politics. We will also run a ladder progression type system for our members. New members will not immediately participate in high-profile work. They will begin with smaller assignments such as collections, message delivery, and/or intimidation. Performance, discretion, and discipline will determine an individual’s advancement in Murder, Inc. This will provide a clear in-character path for growth and will give newer players structured goals. Another major roleplay opportunity is the actual planning of our work/operations. These will look like structured meetings where members will break down target profiles, escape routes, and fallback scenarios. This will allow for collaborative roleplay where every role matters, such as drivers, lookouts, and shooters. Even members not directly involved in a job will remain active through equipment sourcing and safehouse management. To integrate ourselves into the city itself, we plan to host some scale of front-facing business. Members will engage with legitimate business that will create natural roleplay. These will provide faction activity even when no criminal contract is active and will strengthen immersion within the server. Finally, we will give plenty of material for law enforcement and government characters. After major jobs and operations, members will have to adapt to pressure from the police, adjust routines, and manage public perception (both in the criminal and public side of things). This will keep the roleplay active even after a contract concludes and will allow for long-term roleplay between our faction, other factions, and the government.

Name of Faction: Marielitos Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 11 obviously hella more to come Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Street gang Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Strictly cuban, no other ethnicity will be allowed to keep cultural accuracy. Name of Character running the faction: Diego Hernández Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): tobins Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:526506620 Your Server playtime: 3mo 2w 6d 4h 37m 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): The main goal of this faction is to be unorthodox in an attempt to facilitate new RP (or rather bring back) lost concepts from diverges past. The most obvious part of this is being a street gang, I think its vital to the server to have differing variety in factions with differing structures, ideals, end goals. I think the main problem is that all the factions have the same goal currently, make a ton of money and advance their racket. The goal of this faction is to act as an alternative from the rest, We do not intend to make a profit or achieve a high end racket. We simply want to provide realistic street gang roleplay without the pressure of constantly processing. With that being said, taking things by violence and domination is the centerpiece of a street gang. Obviously rampant violence and robberies have a negative connotation on the server and is closely tied to mingy behavior. In which we plan to counter this belief by making this a hard faction to join and be extremely picky about who to let in. The faction will not be tailored around a typical crime family structure but rather a crew structure to reflect the reality of a street gang. It will not be a big faction by any means and I can say that confidently now instead of sugarcoating it, I want this to be a niche group of quality role-players that set an example of how to be selective with members and etc. The most controversial part of this faction which I think will be unpopular but I think is worth the experiment, I intend on making people apply to join this faction, I want to really dig out the minges and bad larpers associated with a street gang. The application process would compose of something like a character backstory, providing RP examples, and obviously asking them what they bring to the table RP wise. The application inherently is completely OOC but I feel like it will get a good grasp on mingy behavior and I think my track record goes to show my stance on minges and poor RPers Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): I am not going to sugarcoat this either and make up nonsense event ideas I'm never going to do, but I can guarantee that we will have power vacuums to keep things interesting and make sure people are not emotionally attached to their gmod items, especially as a street gang member. The best way to keep people interested is to keep them on their toes, even though the vacuum is fabricated to a degree, you still have the risk of losing your character which all people accept is going to happen especially when they join a faction. These dynamics can lead to fun situations between juggling external and internal affairs where we all have fun which is the point of the faction. Also as aforementioned, the exclusivity of the faction is a big selling point for the faction and should motivate people to be good at RP and what they do to hold their spot which is critical in retention. This application is shorter than most because I will not fill an application with false promises for approval, these are the intentions and how we will convey them.

whoever wins the irl fight is unbanned

Only the image "Kuperjanov impressed" is AI, its literally just a meme in our battalion, SJ even posted the real image. Edit: a meme made by AI does not mean the whole post is AI

Thank you for your input

As someone directly involved with one of your most recent bans, I find it a little hard to believe that you have made a significant enough improvement to your roleplay to warrant a lift of this restriction in such a short time. Then again we need more Rockefellers online so +1 Hopefully going forward you can prove that you mean this.

Care to explain?

I'm aware that people do that, I was just asking for clarification in the context of his post.

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.

I'm not entirely sure how possible this is but ever since the stashes have been added they have a flawed way of timing you out of your items. The stash will lock you out of it regardless of the reason or way you take damage, it could be car accident, starvation, fall damage, drug addiction or combat between players. How I've thought it over is some how mimic the system weapons, clothes and swapping characters have and detect player combats instead of all of the above. Doing this change would be a massive QoL update for those who actually use stashes (everyone that isn't retarded) saving a little bit of time on top of the 10ish seconds you have wait to actually use the stashes, I see almost no reason not to do this but if there is reason behind this I'd like to know why.

these the niggas that remind the teacher about homework...

Don’t want to be a sub faction for the commission nor do we plan to be a puppet for them or anyone either.

I think it's funny that taking damage from drug addiction locks you out of the container with all your drugs

That is a very Immature thing to say no hate Against you

Skill issue

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

to much to read but -1 for effort

My homie got so fucking mad he camed back with an valid idea to fix the issue, +1 this nigga is onto something bro.

That is understandable, however final verdict on your situation will be from UA, i highly suggest you collect all the evidence relating to your claim and wait for them to reach out to you, asking for any evidence you can provide. for future reference whenever people are being banned, leave their stuff for a little bit, whilst i understand your point of clearing illegal items from your room, there were still people processing in there, and it looks more like your friend got banned and you tried to take the items involved. As stated prior, Your ban may be Extended or Lowered upon UA's Final Decision

Hey mate, please look at the pinned post and follow the appeal guideline and format, thank you.

Yeah but it will also incentivize the cops to not target my faction so -1

Just Alt walk and go into third person, it resets your stamina completely!

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

Just throw enough money at pendred if you REALLY want to be unbanned

gang that ain't him...thats me dumbass.

and I can see why you've been permabanned 3 times at least and you come back begging like a bitch everytime. Pay up, don't cry.

You responded in 3 seconds of me writing this, and didn't even respond to what I asked. Clearly can't read either I guess. -1

What does this have anything to do with anything or am I missing context

Respectfully, how would his uniform change that

Who is this?
