I'm in their discord, they haven't recruited an associate in over two weeks, it's kind of pathetic. The Cartel de Cebollas and the Hand of Pokemon have been waiting a while, i'd like to see them around.

I was in the faction, I was probably the last dude to hire someone. I promise its so dead bro, idk why its still up. I was capo and left faction and they didn't notice. Thats why you said 2 weeks, thats literally me and when all my friends decided to leave. HC holding onto literal nothingness.

Yeah, pal, 9/11 hasn’t happened yet. This shit would not fly in 1990. Come back in 12 years once we get the Patriot Act.

We need soul back in this server. Every week we should have a slam poetry night hosted by UA in the community discord. At first we should do slam poetry about our general love for diverge but then move onto different themes like factions, grinding bricks for the don, and even have special slam poetry sessions when we have conflict going on to just let everyone involved get some of their emotion out. I wrote an example piece of slam-poetry that I would preform: MIKE BROWN I CAN"T FUCKING STAND YOU Just kidding Mike Brown I love you I made a whiteshirt char and got recruited by a slop faction Italian boss an asian woman no RP not even a fraction I went up to Kosher, ate some food and met the shef I ticked his belly he went gilgul googoogoo I DONT LIKE RUDAJ THEY SMELL LIKE INDIANS They're inactive they need to hire some indians to play for them HOW MUCH MONEY TO BECOME THE GOVERNOR I offered $7 and pendred told me to fuck off

wrights are active

They can just do WHAT to avoid arrests, Looney Tunes style? Fuck that. Make a way to cops can do their jobs.

Why are retards always the first ones to get PK'd out of a faction, just to go join PD? I know people like Drakarus come to mind, atleast for me. Who immediately ran to the forums multiple times because of his PK out of jews, Billy bob too after his PK out of colombos, Who else? Why do they immediately rush to PD?

Most people don’t realize that, if they genuinely enjoyed the server and wanted to make things right, they could simply make a new character in an allied faction and come back a week later. All it takes is enough self-awareness to acknowledge their mistakes, adjust their behavior, and give it another shot. Instead, most people become self-righteous and mistakenly indignant, choosing to blame everyone else before moving on to something else. On top of that, police characters have an incredibly low chance of ever being mugged, PK’d, or facing many of the consequences that people playing criminal mains have to deal with. It’s easy to see why some dickless weasel would gravitate toward that role. The appeal is obvious through that lens. I know cops are necessary, and I always appreciate the people who play them well and genuinely roleplay. But let’s be honest: most cops are complete dunces. A lot of them are essentially side characters whose only purpose is to fuck over someone else’s criminal main. The slightly better, but just as common, version is the cop main who barely roleplays and exists solely to grief other people’s main characters. It’s sad that the cop I should fear and hate the most, an intelligent badge with a genuine passion for investigating and fighting crime, is the rarest kind of cop in the city; one I practically have to wish upon a fucking star for.

Canadian already denied this suggestion in the past, maybe he's had a change of heart (press x to doubt)

In-Game Name(s): Jerry 'Moob' Rizzuto (Main) Steam Name: SuleG2 Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198929556505 Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:484645388 Discord Username: sule1469 Age: 18 When did you first join the server: Technically about half a year ago, but it was only for 30 minutes. I *started* around 3 months ago Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2w 6d 10h 51 Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: At a minium, 5-10 hours weekly. 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 sure I'll be able 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?: I've been loving my time here at Diverge, with just half a month of playtime I've already met so many great people in this community that has welcomed me with open arms. I'm hopeful that me being a member of the staff team can allow me to not only meet more amazing people over time, but allow for me to provide good quality experiences and support not only to the regulars, but to newer players in the hopes that they too can enjoy this amazing community. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I have a very open schedule, allowing me to be active on the server for a significant amount of time each day. My playtime also often extends into peak EU hours. While I may not have as much experience with the factions as some others, I believe I am a quick learner and can easily learn anything I'm currently unfamiliar with if needed. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Not in gmod so , N/A Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I do believe I have become slightly more known from my recent promotion to LT in Altoviti. While I cannot speak on everyone's opinion on me, I do believe I'm well liked by many. I've had mostly nothing but good experiences with many people, and even the very few bad experiences I've had have ultimately resulted in more good experiences in the end. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: As chud as this sounds, late on my birthday, on the 9th, I had a party thrown in Napoli and around 20~ or so faces show up and ALL sing me happy birthday, the moment genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: N/A ------------------------------------------------- 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?: Switch over to a staff char (unless im actively busy in RP, in which i'd simply clip the situation and forward it in proper staff channels.) On my staff char, i'd question the indivudal they RDM'ed along with the person who was rdm'ed, and if needed, anyone else who witnessed the event. From there, making a decision on the situation such as handing out proper punishments. 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 try to speak to the other staff member in question first, in the case that it's a simple mistake or something they're unaware of they're abusing, if it can be quickly solved by a conversation avoiding needing any escalation. Although, if the person in question is higher in rank too me, or equal too in rank and isn't willing to change / adjust what is needed, gathering evidence and then reporting it to higher ranking staff member to decide on the matter. 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?: If it's someone I know to the point that they are a friend, or are a part of my faction. I would not engage in the ticket, and either forward it to another staff member or just avoid it entirely. Even if I don't believe I'd act biasedly in a ticket, it may not seem that way to others and in the interest of avoiding any confusion, arguments, or other issues. Avoidance would be the best scenario.

are you perchance trying to find them at the pharmacy? they’re on at their jewelry store in chinatown a lot.

Remember this when you want to pk someone. Ur making batman bro

allow for /doorkick to be used on people sitting down to force them to stand up! this way officers wont need to call staff every time someone sits to avoid a arrest / rp! saves everyones time!

I typically type my responses, in this instance I found the log: "4Lights: Don't spawn plates on peoples heads, if you do, next time you'll lose prop flags". I opted to give you a note for that instance, where I believed you used your flags to bait RDM. I think I had been generous, given that you had 2 previous prop notes, I did not believe you needed a 4th. So, I had left a note saying to remove on next prop abuse. Your props were removed by Ender on the next of such occasion, I apologise if this was not clear to you. It should be said on any occasion of prop abuse, your flags can be removed. We don't have to give warnings, although typically we do. This is again, the 4th occasion of prop abuse since May. If you'd still like to pursue this appeal, please given substance to the actual situation that led to your appeal, instead of the prior one that I was involved in. I am not the scapegoat. Enders took your flags, you are appealing that incident, so please give comment for that situation instead of focusing on the prior one. You spawned plates in their business? For what reason? Give reasons why you might need pet flags for RP reasons; like spawning in your factions business or your food trucks etc.

Game mechanic? Yeah, that's called a developer

This is why you're gonna accept it.

A year and a half after leaving the alliance and you still bring up this propaganda

Muh why isint this cartel a paramilitary or terrorist organization that is full of retarded psychopaths why do they change the way they operate in the US muh Muh why don’t they dress like ranchers when NYCs setting makes dressing like this impractical muh muh I don’t know anything except what a far right podcaster told me about CJNGs retaliation towards the Mexican government for the death of their leader Muh muh why faction not 100% alive when it’s not accepted yet WTH Muh

Could do what the old Murder Inc did and post missing photos or something

That would probably be a bridge too far. Gun stores are already subject to audits at basically any point, so having constant access to that info and just lurking waiting for a simple clerical error would be pretty lame.

Ah yes im very positive and super sure there has been alot of character growth in less than 3 weeks.

Legacy when Maggy was Don

+1 Absolutely. The dyno bot system makes a ticket incredibly annoying and makes them widely unenforced

just let us shoot people who sit to avoid stuff -1

I'm a big fan of this, but I think there might be game mechanic issues for it.

if possible (i dont know anything abt how diverge is ran from a technical standpoint) run checks on where a source of damage comes from relating to stash cool downs. its pretty annoying having to wait due to fall damage or a light car crash! thx!

fuck up

Just dont take damage if youre going to a stash, hope this helps.

whats the point in having them around they are just retards

+1 Jerry is a good person

Most cartels uphold a reputation for their public acts of violence, where we are going to take it to a more hidden and professional place.

Good guy, would do fine +1

+1 dude hosted the best birthday party ever

-1 I'll just regurgitate all of the already listed criticisms; grammar and age. In my opinion, staff should be soft-locked at 16 years old or higher as the majority of the playerbase is in the late-teen to adult range, it would just simply be odd for a person not in that age range to be moderating and representing the server. Additionally, the grammar could use some work (which goes hand-in-hand with age). Come back in 2 years and you have my approval.

kids retarded -1

-1 Too young.

fuck no

+1 Provides great roleplay to all the factions who interact with him, would love to see a legal faction that isn't just people's oil chars.

+1 very original

We gonna get a explanation orrr

Okay yeah its a child and children tend not to have the best reasoning skills but Kubus seems to have a good head on his shoulders. I think he can be taught what to do. Might take him a little longer than most but what Dopeasroe said is true. +/-

I appreciate the actually helpful feedback

sir i dont want to be rude but whom are you and how are you involved to be able to comment here?

+1 dont know him but kai likes him so i do

+! for me giving citations it is also annoying- because not every officer is trained on the penalty points- So half our PD just does the Dyno $ amounts the other half does the Actual $ amounts

No

Mobile phones are used daily for organizing and setting up drug deals, if PD could wiretap phones via warrants it would incentivize criminals to speak less freely on mobiles and get them to use the phone booths which can act as the "safe" way for criminals to make calls or using burner phones.
