Like the others said, it’s closest to being Brooklyn. I checked this same thing out a few years back, and now we’re all permanently Brooklyners. Fucking tragic. Now we all have to put on the thick Brooklyn accent.

Name of Faction: The Galician Mob Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 18 Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Crime Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Spanish Origin Name of Character running the faction: Sergio Pérez Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): buckethatbarry Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:429847568 Your Server playtime: 5mo 1w 5d 10h 40m (3,898 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) - Overall The Galician Mob is a faction focused on character-driven roleplay. Our faction is based on a real-world group (The Galician Mafia), meaning we will have ties to real-world history. In the 1970s, the Galician Mob began using fishermen to smuggle cigarettes through European borders and into Spain. With boats leaving from the US allowing for a state-based monopoly, the individuals stationed in New York will continue to do what their ancestors did before them, getting cocaine from New York and pushing it back out into the waters under the disguise of fishing. Through the 1980s, the pressure continued to rise on American drug markets and cartels. The Galician Mob continued to utilize these established routes, shifting their focus to more lucrative items such as money laundering and the infiltration of politics, individuals in power, and legal networks. Apparel The faction has the intention to wear a relaxed clothing scheme. We will not force our members to wear certain apparel, opening the door to individual diversity in terms of custom apparel, etc. However, at times we may wear suits during certain roleplay situations. We have no issue with members wearing relaxed clothing as long as it doesn't stray too far from our factions ethnicity. Restaurant We’d like to turn the West Side Drug Store into our restaurant of choice. We have the intention of having the interior altered and changed for our purposes, as our faction has background ties to “fishing,” and we’d like to explore that side of the server in terms of fishing on the docks. Our intentions are angled toward the idea of fishing as a whole, as it ties into our background. Faction Goals Fishing wasn’t good enough for us—working too hard and getting not enough in terms of pay. We have the intention of distributing our racket through the city. Our goals consist of importing and exporting useful items through New York, making money, and possibly being in a position of power within the city. On a side note, we’d like to push out weekly fishing competitions highlighting the fishing side of New York. We aim to provide for our fellow fishermen and push forward the fishing community, whether that be giving out prizes and rewards to those who compete, or having a custom DUP for the area when we go through with it. We would like to smuggle weaponry and illicit substances obtained in New York back to Spain/Mexico for profit. Hiring Process Instead of hiring white shirts off the side of the road, dressing them, and forcing them to work in Don Pez, we plan to make sure they are a suitable fit for the faction—maybe taking them out to the docks for some fishing. Having them prove themselves to our ranking infrastructure, or even putting them to work after a small but necessary screening process. After all, Don Pez is well known for its diversity in food, taste, and employees. In terms of the screening process, we will have our soon-to-be employees out completing small tasks for us, such as making deliveries, handling any outstanding debts we may be owed, and showing not only their worth but their value. We’d like to explore the roleplaying aspect of the server more thoroughly in hopes this creates an even better environment in terms of faction-to-faction talks.

Map description says we are on the south side of Union City, which would be Hoboken, NJ. But then if you look across the water, we see we are facing the near side of the Chrysler Building, which would put us around Hunter’s Point in Long Island but Roosevelt Island is missing. Lady Liberty is facing the towards us though which would mean we would be in Bay Ridge in Brooklyn. You will also notice that the Governors Island is missing, what does this all mean? Southside was made by a foreigner and is not accurate to the real NYC, big surprise.

As an nyc resident the “southside” refers to generally the queens area, though there’s multiple southside each borough has there own like Jamaica queens, South Bronx don’t make no sense but black people came up with it so there ya go

The south side, obviously.

Yo check out what I been making

Lets get a custom Chicago Rizzo map fr

the kirov bratva did not take long the majority of it was just a guy UC and a wiretap and then I went and [REDACTED] and the don died mysteriously and the second don took a life sentence plea deal and they got to keep their property because [REDACTED] part of the reason you have blacklists from UC work is because people are really mad about UC work being overpowered and there being no recourse so they get real big mad and salty and ban them. Shockingly, people are frustrated because theres been a lot over the past few months. they feel like they're being hit with 2 bit cases that have no viable end and they're getting too wide a target on their properties and HC when there's not even any tangible legal route to make in those regards, and they feel they're being continued to be targeted beyond the initial crimes asserted Yeah, people are gonna be mad. This isnt a "Hey we should just insta pk detectives" suggestion; this is an assertion that it should at least be possible. Put it frankly, you overestimate the importance of cop RP compared to crim RP. Yes, your operation took 4 months. Yes, you worked really hard on this. But the faction in a lot of cases is years old and you want to tear it down immediately. They should have a running chance at surviving. Want to avoid the risk? Avoid the risky actions. Get good at assett protection. Enlist spec ops to do protection operations at 4 in the morning. I could literally make an entire document filled to the brim with methods of avoiding death, and you should reasonably be able to figure out how to do the same. Your months of hard work is noble, I know because I did it. And if it was me at that time I would've said you're crazy. But with the outrage from the community, and seeing whats been going on where factions are getting fucked six ways to sunday en masse, this "2 or 3 times a year" seizure thing is hitting its quota very quickly, and its gonna burst the chart You don't have to change your operations. You don't have to change who you target. Matter of fact, existing cases shouldn't be applicable. But in the future, you'll have to move like a detective and avoid death, and not just when you're in a faction, and you'll be a better detective for it.

-2 I'm so aura I get two counts, keep this creep off OUR server I hate when I'M playing Diverge Mafia RP on Gmod and this fella Coco comes up to me and just FUCKING EXISTS.

Alright well reality check this is a garys mod roleplay server and you shouldve maybe skimmed through the rules before you alted

Bullshit its common since are you genuinely retarded

Do you have some sort of mental retardation

There's no way this would work with the current system with how charid's work (ID's in general even) and the fact that this would effectively open the door to wiping out an already dwindling bureau consistently hampered by ua AND the da's office which suffers similarly. It's impossible to make an adequate witsec attempt with the current system. It'd be the final nail in the coffin for legalrp.

Ace already covered most of it - Your "roleplay" isn't and wouldn't ever be valid, even with an extended period of time "building" that character. Any roleplay that relies inherently on killing players for their choice of playermodel can't stick, and this was a blatant case of RDM and NITRP. You have been spoken to regarding RDM before, too. Hopefully throughout the duration of your ban you can read through the server rules, as your knowledge of those will be paramount to understanding what IS and ISN'T acceptable roleplay on the server. I'm glad to hear you find the server fun, and hope that you can continue enjoying it within the boundaries of the rules once your ban has expired.

my life is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable. I will commit sudoku now to atone for this sin.

In case you didn't read. "You may not mug in front of and NPC regardless of this map." I have literally ZERO clue how you found this a valid PK. He literally complied, they didn't want to mug anything he had on him, the repeatedly said "We just wanna kill somebody". Please investigate a LOT more thoroughly when doing stuff like this @Hoovis. Seriously a big mistake on this PK.

+1 as the leader of Miami I can say that it was really good just no one played it since everyone was glazing nyc, could lowk see a comeback ngl if we gets factions to only stay on Miami and if diverge has the playerbase for it

+1 because @bigwillyhumper69 approves

Yeah them UK tards just don’t do a quick google search nowadays

-1 you were the one who caused the most issues as a detective.

why is this nigga still banned

+1 Anything to get people away from the Lucchese...

-1 legit started problems over time for no reason keep him gone

I had a proper reason to kill them, there are people in real life and in the past that would go shooting black people so it is a valid form of rp. Also I gave him warnings before I shot him and said that I was the nigger killer and that I kill black people. I just want to be unbanned or at least a reduction on it because I genuinely like playing on the server.

I'll make a real reply here, you are too stupid to play this server. As both staff and a member of a faction you were in at a time, you have a history of getting pked from a faction for doing something dumb, joining a new faction and then basically metagaming to go back on your new character and harass your old faction, including an instance where you paid a whiteshirt to go on a stabbing spree at the property of a faction you were pked from. You are not mature enough to play this server. "I didn't know alting was against the rules" is the dumbest excuse ever. You're sorry you got caught, not sorry that you did it. Funnily enough you said in your other appeal that you were "just going to wait out the 5 days" and only admitted to alting after I posted the reason for the permanent ban.

I didn’t wait because I was confused on why the ban went from 5 days to permanent as I didn’t know trying to go on an alt account was against the rules.

I never made a character to harass my old faction I was the one being harassed by a higher up at that faction and I was new to the faction I was in so I told my faction about it and they decided to pk me. Also I was not the one to tell the white shirt to go stab someone that was someone else from the faction I was in and they were not paid to do so.

Before any of this I just had a vague idea of what RDM is, I thought it was just killing people without giving a warning, so I thought my killings were justified since I gave my victims warnings before I did so. Also I’ve only broken two rules which were RDM and ban evasion attempt, which I didn’t even know was a thing.

Yes I was going to wait out the 5 days for my original ban. But then I decided to try to play on an alt account because I still wanted to play on the server and I did not know that was against the rules. And I didn’t know why I got permanently banned until you posted the reason so thank you for doing so.

I did not know it was against the rules to go onto an alt account. If I knew that then I never would have tried in the first place.

I've never played on a rp server before and other games allow alt accounts so I thought I could try it on this server If I knew it was against the rules I would've never done it.

I don't know if any other server allows it because like I've said this is the first and only rp server I've ever played on. Other multiplayer games usually do not ban you for having an alt account so that's why I tried it on this server and I got banned for it because I didn't know it was against the rules. Like I've already said, I wouldn't have done it if I knew it was against the rules.

Yes I should've read through the rules before I went on an alt account and that's why im asking for a second chance because I spent all last night reading through all the rules, so I can rp properly and be able to play on the sever.

Character Name: Max Plain | Steam Name: C0ALT0N SteamID:76561199524307961 Discord ID#:1056403697418113055 Reason for ban: RDM x2 | NITRP | POx 1 | Ban Evasion Attempt Length of ban: Changed from 5 days to permanent Reason for appeal: Apology Why should you be unbanned?: The first time I ever played this server was about a year ago or more, I started playing with my girlfriend but we didn't get too far into the game and we ended up quitting about 2 days in. We recently started playing the server again (its been about 2 weeks or so) and we have been having a blast its fun to join the different factions and see what they have to offer and its fun to grind for money to get custom clothes and other cool stuff. I was originally banned for the reasons above and I did not know all of the rules and whatnot for rp and RDM as this is the only rp server I've ever played on. I did not know that trying to go onto an alt account was against the rules and that is my fault since I did not read all of the rules. I should have read all of the roles before I started playing and it was foolish of me not too, I really enjoy playing on this server and so does my gf and I'd love to keep playing and make more memories with everyone else on the server. I just want to apologize for my actions and take full accountability, Id like another chance and to be allowed to keep playing on the server but if not then I understand and will be back in 6 months to make another ban appeal because I enjoy this server. (Edit) I’ve been reading over the server rules for a couple hours and I’d greatly appreciate a second chance even if I’d have to wait a week for the previous ban if just really like a chance to keep playing because I love the server and it’s really fun. I’ve read over the rules and I know how to not RDM and how to do proper rp.

Character Name: Max Plain Your SteamID:76561199524307961 Your Discord ID#:1056403697418113055 Reason for ban: RDM x2 | NITRP | POx 1 Length of ban: Permanent? Reason for appeal (dispute/apology):dispute Why should you be unbanned? So i got banned for the reasons above today and the original ban length was 5 days but now its a permanent ban??? I'm confused because I was banned for 5 days but now im banned permanently? I was just going to wait out the 5 days so i could play again but now i dont know if ill be able to. I just want some help.

Opening PKs On Cops, witsec changes: Right now, as it stands, there’s no recourse for police. Oftentimes, from what I’ve seen, the DAs office is unable to prosecute officers for purposes of maintaining the peace. IA, is often unwilling, because they think it should be a legal issue, or they’re friends so they get a slap on the wrist. Or sometimes nothing happens at all. And then good cops, often are fired. It’s a crack in the system that we’ve seen for a while, and the voices of the community have gotten larger asking for something to be done. To have some kind of recourse as a criminal. As a criminal, all you can do is watch as detectives, or other officers, blow through your entire organization, and go really overly hard on your organization in order to get whatever victory they have in mind. There’s nothing to be done. Typically, even if you find the detective, they’re placed inside the PD which is unraidable, and the only people willing to risk their job are usually conflict locked from doing so. So, detectives don’t get killed. They don’t usually get fired. They never get prosecuted. Same goes for every bureau, really. But Detectives are the current complaint of the community. What I propose, is finally opening up the window to actually pking cops. We need to loosen the rules surrounding cops being killed, and with that enter into actual RP. Now, there obviously needs to be restrictions, because obviously we want cops to be able to do their jobs and target illegal activities. However, there should be a limit. For instance, an orchestrator sends a UC into your faction. The UC escapes, and gets locked in the PD. You know who is running the operation, it’s some higher ranking detective. You can’t get to the UC, as they’re locked up. Soon, they’ll disappear. Open the door to killing the orchestrator. Require the PD to do some really great maneuvering and have to witsec the orchestrator too. This will provide an ample cooldown, so when a faction gets hit, you’re not in a situation where multiple factions are getting hit at once, because the orchestrator has to disappear. Furthermore, open the window to raids on the PD to kill these people. Obviously, it’s almost impossible to find someone who would be able to let you in, because even if you get let in you’re gonna have to start killing cops and it is considered a raid. I’d say, if HC is being targeted in a faction, allow for MAIN CHARACTERS (verified active players as well), be able to raid the PD when the orchestrator/UC is online in order to pk them. This should be done with UA APPROVAL. Pre-screened individuals who are partaking in this. The risk will lie in this kind of operation. You can kill one operation against your organization, but you naturally open the door to retaliation from the remaining individuals in the Detectives/PD. believe that it’s imperative to outline exactly what would constitute approval of this kind of operation. I’ve designed them such: Expansion of an initial operation (i.e. attempted to gather even more evidence by sending another person in, trying to find ways to seize properties that aren’t directly involved in the crime, trying to harass them, having people constantly overwatching them, etc. Anything that continues to occur after a UC is pulled out, or a case is started. You better get your information all at once, lest you end up at risk as a detective.) Attempt to take all properties. If an organization only has one property, that is the lifeline of the organization. It’s imperative that they’re able to keep that. Lest they have to pay 10m+ to try and get it back, and that usually requires going to daddy faction for a loan, putting them in a predicament. If they have 2 properties, and one is being attempted to be seized, sure. If both, let the raid happen. Worth noting this does NOT include individual rented rooms. Let the detectives blow through those, as they’re just returned pretty quickly. Attempt to harass, further gather evidence blatantly. If your initial operation concludes, i.e. criminal charges are brought, and you go into double dip and it's discovered, or they realize when more charges are added against more people, let the raid happen. Don targeted, second targeted, or more than 2 members of HC. If the don gets charges, let the raid happen. Second in command, let the raid happen. If more than 2 members of general HC are targeted, let the raid happen, let them have their chance to kill them. The investigation intends to seize cash reserves. Specifically cash. If they want to touch the faction funds, that's life changing enough that they may want to take the risk. Let the raid happen. The investigation brings charges against more than 12 people. This is, for a lot of factions, VERY game changing. Some of y'all are struggling. If the investigation, like a warrant wildfire, hits 13 people, let the raid happen. Threats from the police. If someone comes to threaten you to comply and give someone up, let the threat giver be set active and pked. Raid optional. Now, with this in mind, it’s incredibly important to set ground rules for the responsibilities of the cops. If you’re the cop(s) in question, being targeted you must: Log on for 30 minutes a day, at any time of the day. If there’s more than one cop being greenlit for death, they must both be in city at the same exact time, for the same duration You must be inside the PD. Anywhere. You can have as much firepower as possible; but if schedules don't align, you’re going to have to hope you can skate by for that 30 minutes. You can log out at the 30 minute mark, UNLESS there is an active raid into the PD. You must check with staff to see if it is clear for you to leave. If there’s an active raid, you must wait. You may not miss more than one day in a row, WITH UA approval. You’ll be screened to make sure you’re not playing other games. You will be char locked to your PD char. You can’t play any other characters during this time. If you’re the assaulters in question, you will: Be given 1 week to successfully do this. If the case is successful against you, you will be given an infinite window to kill the people involved, unless they get witsec, to which you will have to prove they’re the same person ICly. You must identify the orchestrator. Either by confirmation from police officers who are willing to give you that information, or by figuring it out on your own in a way that UA deems reasonable, accurate and IC. You will be given an infinite amount of raid attempts during that week. But they’ll only be on for a 30 minute window, so you’ll have to wait around ready to suit up. After 1 week, your raid permission ends. You will all be pk active while attempting raids. If you are a ranking member, you will not be able to return into your original role. You will start as an associate. If you are the staff member, you will: Verify all characters Set all characters pk active to the NYPD Oversee all times that they’re online. If they want to be online at 3 am, someone has to be online at 3 am to oversee. Verify ability to leave for the officers (i.e. no raid going on) Verify all information is true, accurate, and IC that leads to PK activity on officer(s). Workarounds to consider: Chances are, if this goes into effect, the PD will try to hide these things. Via working with the DAs office. This should be extended to the DAs office - IF - the individuals who are looking for the orchestrator threaten the ADA/DA/whatever who’s running the case in court to give up the information, and they refuse to after 3 violent and clear threats. (One, if they refuse to log on ever again) (Also worth noting - they don't log on, so an in-game pager will suffice if the faction uses resources in the PD to get their ssns), then allow a pk on that ADA/DA/whatever. Let the prosecutors choose who’s getting witsec’d - the orchestrator or them. See next page for more Altered Cop Rules Make witsec have to take place IC and actually conclude. What do I mean by this? Well, right now the way witsec works is you log on, you’re already in a backroom in the PD, you get your name changed and your faction changed and you immediately log out. I say, make them stay online for 1 hour after a witsec, to allow for individuals to either A. kill them or B. identify them successfully. Furthermore, make them actually leave the PD, and get to a “Safehouse”, like the governors mansion. Then, if they’re bringing driven, their convoy can be intercepted, cops shot, individual identified or kidnapped. Then, they need to stay online for 1 hour after they arrive at the “Safehouse”. What would successful identification look like, in this situation? It would be that an individual(s) gain entry or intercept the convoy, and lay eyes on the guy. If this is achieved, the witsec’d individual cannot be witsec’d again at all. They have to remain that identity and risk death every day.
