(Reference your unique RP from the question above): The White-Collar Corporation works with every side of the city to host events and provide factions an opportunity to do more mob related things against civilians which so far has been almost nonexistent. By providing these events and different businesses we are promoting civilian/legal RP while also providing criminals/cops RP by interacting with the civilian side. We are involved in all kinds of industries and have a ton of ways for factions interact with our employees as event characters and normal civilians just trying to survive Southside one day at a time. From construction sites, factories, oil tankers, truck robberies, waste management and more we can provide factions unique and new RP that they haven't experienced yet. Besides bringing new stuff we also hope to compete with the other two oil companies in the city and provide some interesting white (and blue) collar RP. Employees who work with us are promoted through profit and performance, making sure that the earners are given more responsibility and the chance to run an industry within the White-Collar Corporation. Come into the city and keep an eye out as almost everything we do is on the fly and happens at random!

In-Game Name(s): Danny Silvershine, Daniel K. Park, Adrian Nakamura Steam Name: Psykho Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/RealPsykho/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:95772378 Discord Username: Psykho Age: 25 When did you first join the server: Back in December Total playtime on our Servers: 550+ Hours across all characters Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating? At least 15-20 hours per week, possibly more depending on volume and server needs. Have you read the rules? Yes. I’ve read through the general rules, PK guidelines, and a lot about general legal RP on the server. I also recently took a long-form quiz on the fundamental rules and passed with a high score. Do you have a working microphone? Yes, I have several working microphones. Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? Yes, I acknowledge this and will do my best to fulfill the needs of the community by meeting this quota. Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands? Not all of them entirely, but I am used to several admin-related systems and can adapt easily. Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff? Yes, I acknowledge that the truth is important. ___________________________________ Long Answer Questions: What is your motivation/reason for applying? My main motivation for applying is to enhance and protect the experience of my fellow players on Diverge. Roleplay can already be challenging at times, and I’ve personally experienced moments where I needed staff assistance but had trouble getting it. With over 8,400 hours in Garry’s Mod and a strong desire to help others, I feel a genuine sense of duty to give back to the community that has given me so many great moments. I want to be the reliable staff member who ensures everyone can enjoy their time on the server without unnecessary disruptions. Why should you be considered over other candidates? I believe I should be considered because I am highly accountable, have no ego, and maintain a strong growth mindset. I hold myself to high standards and am always hungry to learn more. Beyond general GMod experience, I bring deep knowledge from my roles in the Courts, Bar Association, police department, and both legal and illegal businesses- knowledge that not even some current admins possess. While I don’t see myself as better than anyone, I am confident in what I know and how I can contribute meaningfully to the staff team through my experience, merit, and dedication. Do you have any previous staffing experience? Yes. This server was built in part by Canadian Bacon, who I staffed with years ago. When we were teenagers, we both served as admins on a server called Chronet, handling in-game admin duties as well as forum work such as appeals and ban requests. I was there for at least a year, possibly closer to two. After Chronet, I staffed on several other Garry’s Mod servers, though I don’t remember every detail of those positions anymore. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why? No, I have never been banned or received any warnings or rule punishments on your servers. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you? Yes, I would say I am fairly well known in the community. Many players recognize my characters, whether as the fair/teacher cop Danny Silvershine, the prosecutor Daniel K. Park in the courtroom, or Adrian Nakamura as a lawyer, arms dealer, and mechanic. Across all of these roles I’ve focused on creating and empowering roleplay for others while treating everyone with kindness and respect. Even when there is in-character conflict, I never let it create out-of-character bias. I believe most community members see me as fair, consistent, and someone who genuinely enjoys bringing positive energy to the server. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far? I have quite a few favorite moments, but the ones that stand out the most are the times I’ve been promoted, whether it was at the District Attorney’s Office, within the police department, or inside various crime factions. There’s something very satisfying about seeing all the hard work and dedication pay off and get officially acknowledged by the community and leadership. Have any staff members recommended you? Not at this time. I haven’t made any staff members aware that I’ve applied yet. I plan to reach out privately to those I know for support once this application is submitted. I prefer not to name-drop or create any sense of open bias, that’s simply not how I like to conduct myself. ___________________________________ Problem Solving: Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this? If I am able to hop on duty without interrupting important roleplay, I will do so and take the ticket directly. If I am currently in the middle of active roleplay, I will keep an eye on the ticket queue and the flow of tickets being accepted by on-duty staff. Once my roleplay concludes, if the ticket is still open, I will request that the player remake the ticket so I can take it properly while on duty. If the admin system allows for better handling of off-duty situations, I will quickly learn and adapt to that method to ensure the situation is addressed efficiently and fairly. 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? The first step I would take is to speak with them privately in a calm and respectful manner. There may be context I’m unaware of, and addressing it directly like a fellow team member can often resolve the issue without escalating unnecessarily. I would explain what I’ve observed and give them the opportunity to clarify or correct the behavior. If the issue continues after our conversation, I would then escalate it to higher staff following proper protocol, always prioritizing the integrity of the staff team and the community. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. How do you proceed knowing this? It doesn’t matter how well I know the person or what my personal experience with them is- everyone must be treated fairly and equally under the rules. If no other staff member is available to take the ticket and it falls to me, I will handle it with complete impartiality, judging only based on the evidence and server rules. If at any point I feel that my personal connection could create even the appearance of bias, I will immediately disclose this to fellow staff members and recuse myself from the ticket to ensure fairness. Maintaining trust in the staff team is more important than any personal relationship.

(Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Yes I understand Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands: no but im willing to Learn them Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff: yes ------------------------------------------------- What is your motivation/reason for applying?: There are always individuals who require assistance during night time. It is hard to know that I cannot assist them when they need me. thought there are people who may be in need of assistance but there are no available staff makes me realize how important it is to have staff members on duty at all times. That is why I would like to become part of the staff team. I want to be someone, who the community can turn to in hours when assistance is required. Being a staff member does not just mean answering the questions. It means being responsible, patient and honest. The most important aspect of being a staff member is to create a positive atmosphere for the server. I will try to do this through being attentive and assist the needs of the community and being polite to each other. I will do everything possible in order to assist players. Even in situations when it turns out to be really difficult moment, I will remain calm and try to solve all the problems in the best way to benefit the community.

(Please list where, what position and how long): I have no previous experience of staff Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why: I was banned twice one for mass raiding for a week My other ban was for cop baiting no intent to role play when I first started the server and looking back then I was just minging. I have straightened my act out I try not to get into any trouble with staff but I occasionally have my run in with I've had no other bans except the ones I've listed I know I have a decent amount of notes But those notes don't define who I am Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you: I'm fairly well known within the community. I know not everyone will think the same about me. Some people like me while others may not That is okay. What matters most to me is treating everyone with the upmost respect. I want to stay fair of peoples personal differences or opinions, about each other. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far: My favorite moment ever on Diverge was my very first Racket event Being able to PVP around the city shooting my target It gives a thrill it gets your heart pumping Being able to protect my Don Made me feel part of something bigger And there has been many times I've just gone to a restaurant doing the proper /me For eating and drinking something Other examples of me being a clothing salesman and a enforcer / Bodyguard I also have had a lot of fun with GM events I have participated in that are PVP or RP based Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Yugi, Dong, Toast, Nubs, Lunar, 21schmekless ------------------------------------------------- Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I would get on my staff character I would then get their Steam ID pull them to a sit Check how many hours they have if they are fairly newer with only a couple hours I would tell them to go read the rules and give them a note or verbal but If they have more than a couple of days and they know what they are doing Then I would note them But if they have prior RDM notes or bans Then I would ban them for the according amount of time of what they did 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 would take clips of them doing these actions I would make a UA ticket to report them or send it To Canadian or Pendred 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 not take the ticket because of bias Which can get me in trouble and that person that made the ticket which is my friend in trouble as well I would contact another staff member and ask them if they can take the ticket but if I was the only staff member on I would take the ticket get both sides get clips check damage logs and get a second opinion from a staff member higher or the same rank as me That's how I would handle the situation ---------------------------------------------------------

+1 the goat is actually trying to make legal factions be active

+1 no brainer

Show movies in the movie theater before they release in real theaters, bringing an exclusive element to diverge networks and reviving the dead and unused movie theater.

+1 diverge 101

+1 Russian Backing

+1 Every interaction I had with White-Collar proved he was part of some larger story that he was building. He is an incredible leader with amazing potential to use a legal faction as a medium to ramp up the activities he's already been doing.

Have nothing negative to say they bring a great amount of rp to the city its nice seeing a legal faction doing events etc. Massive +1

+1 good RP, maybe change up the event ideas so it doesn't get repetitive

+1 This guy has been a huge help to the start of our boxing events, just recently on his own time made an event center. WCC Event Center is quite the nice place as well, everything Ive seen product wise out of this WCC shit has been awesome. Also cockefeller never around we need someone whos serious about the rp.

When you can control your outbursts you do an adequate job.

We’re so FUCKED!

So what I'm hearing is - excluding the simp votes, the rigged votes, and the OP bias - I am the most loved staff member on Diverge?

I can only assume I won, thank you everyone!

this would require cops to roleplay -1

perfect a mobster being seen riding around with pd what can go wrong!

me when I spread misinformation

you need to get on the game to make tickets

this guy 100% just got a felony

didnt u get smoked by sos and quit....

Your flag appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Feeling generous, do better. The blacklist will be lifted from your account shortly.

When you get charged and sent to prison it's generally expected that you leave or switch chars if someone isn't coming to post your bail. They already searched him and got plenty of photos of his inventory and ID (I was his lawyer so I know they did). This might be the dumbest ban I've ever seen.

they be making anyone staff, huh?

rigged, revote NOW

Hey all, I'm taking the time to write out something that has been on my mind pretty much since the last racket event or when I made my last post about punishment scaling in the events. I think the server could really benefit from having some kind of in-character way to get rid of felonies, instead of it just being pardoned or donation-related stuff. Right now if you catch a felony, you’re kinda just stuck with it for a while. It doesn’t really create RP, it just limits what you can do until your either dead or pay father pendred. Stuff that already exists could be used: Doing city jobs / labor work (trash, maintenance, whatever!) Taxi driving for a certain amount of rides or time Fishing at the docks and turning in fish as like a “city quota” Nothing crazy complicated, just tasks that add up over time, and that take a certain amount of time. Add PD Ride-Alongs as a Way to Work Off Felonies Just adding onto the idea of being able to work off felonies, I think it’d be cool if PD ride-alongs were also an option. Not as a main method, but like another path people could take depending on the situation. What I mean Let people with certain felonies do a ride-along with PD and have that count toward reducing it. Nothing crazy just something structured. How it could work You get approved for it (probably by PD HC or a judge) You ride with an officer for a set amount of time You’re expected to actually listen, follow instructions, not mess around etc. If you waste time or troll, you just get removed from this process entirely no retries and it doesn’t count. Again like my last post, these are all suggestions and Im open to hear what the community thinks. Thank you, Baiited.

Just having to be in uniform on patrol isn't enough. require all detectives to wear traffic vests and make their names stand out with neon and show up 100 ft away. This may slightly balance it out

Mike Brown, how are you so intelligent

Pretty it's like this because there's an issue with the fish world prop and this is easier than going through like two dozen fish and painfully trying to fix it.

Hello, banning moderator here. Reason: While it is true you were in jail, and in cuffs, the arresting Detective came back around and opened your cell door and proceeded to search you. You guys technically made contact; arresting Detective opened your door, you moved, he started the search and you vanished. Rule(s) Broken: 1) LTARP: LTAP/LTARP = Leaving the server to avoid punishment/role play - You intentionally left the server so the arresting Detective would not be able to get what he needed from your persons. This is considered LTARP, as you are avoiding the roleplay. 2) Section "Prisoner Rules", Rule 1 states that "When you are arrested you must endure the arrest process," and if you "do not return within 10 minutes, this will be considered LTARP." - The rules pretty much sums it up. Upon checking logs, you had disconnected, and not changed characters and neither did you ever return within 10 minutes. This is considered LTARP. I came to the decision of banning you for 2 Days because you are a Detective as well. You should know better than most people thrown into a cell. Thank you, and have a blessed day. - sshy

Moids can not accept the fact that I am just truly goated with the sauce. Thank you to all my Day 1s, all my supporters, and all my ladies!
