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.

Hi Whilst it appears the other players involved in this interaction had similarly committed rule breaks, I do believe that there is a degree of responsibility for multiple of these events that lies on your NLR. As a cop, you can return to scene if specific circumstances are met, and you are called in as back up, etc. but your initial return to the ghetto is not necessary and does break the NLR rules. I also believe that running the other guy over and then executing him was a mistake and not how you should have handled the situation. It seems more like you held a grudge after your previous encounters. Regardless - In this instance I'm happy to reduce your ban to 12 hours, as it is your first offense and the other players involved clearly have some guilt in the matter. I also appreciate the detail put in to your ban appeal, and the opinion of the banning mod.
