The escalation rules should be viewed as a shell and starting point, not a rigid checklist. UA looks at the full situation, all factions involved, and all relevant factors before making a determination, including faction size, recent hires, main character status, alt characters, and whether anyone is trying to gain an unfair advantage. The purpose of a lockdown / hire block is to prevent war jumping, temporary recruiting, and alt abuse. It also makes escalation uncomfortable for everyone involved, which should push factions toward a quicker resolution instead of letting the conflict drag out. If someone was actively maining a faction but never formally set it as their main, that is ultimately on the player and their faction leadership. If they were involved enough to be impacted by the escalation, they should have seen it coming and made sure their main was properly set. Leadership also has a responsibility to warn members before things reach that point. A lock can be adjusted or removed if UA believes the specific situation calls for it, but it should not be assumed. Unless UA clearly states otherwise, factions should treat the lockdown and main character requirements as active. In your case, you were scared because you thought Popov was going to PK you, so you left the faction to do hits for Supreme in another faction. Once you realized there was no orders you left the other faction and now are stuck as a civ. watching from the outside. If you want numbers.....at the start of the escalation Supreme had 140 alts(More than any other crim. faction) to Popov 30 alts, for mains there were 25 for Supreme and 13 for Popov...... this was taken into account during the main lock decision.

New gen freak of nature try hard gets trolled by scary auraful @String If you take GIFS in your DM's as a sign of "crashout" then you might be serverly autistic and should be tested dude... String and I were in VC laughing our asses off when he was sending you them because WE KNEW you would sperg out like this LOCK IN GANG!!!!! SHIT AIN'T THAT DEEP!!!!

All of this is government propaganda and I will not stand for propaganda against String, still a +1!

-1 I rarely speak out this strongly against giving someone another chance, but in this case, I feel it's necessary. Attached I've sent the recent DMs he sent me during the time to which I banned him. Besides that I'd like to say this. While he wasn't the worst staff member we've had, the team is currently running smoothly without him. We shouldn't lower our standards just to add more bodies. This is the Diverge of today, not a few years ago. He was recently banned and continues to disagree with the reasoning behind it. In his forum post, he simply dismissed it as "retarded." He lashes out angrily at anyone who personally disagrees with him. This level of reactivity is unprofessional for staff. Even in his likely response to post, he's likely to push back without any apology or politeness to me whom has been nothing but professional towards him throughout his ban that I administrated in good faith. That should say enough alone. As a staff member who's been here for nearly a year, I have zero notes on my account. He has over 30! A consistent pattern of bans and notes shows a lack of accountability or issues with emotional regulation which are essential for any staff member to have and maintain during their duties.

I'm the professional gambler here and I know for a fact 95% of this community doesn't know how to apply perfect roulette strategy so it's just a random stroke or luck unlike blackjack that requires some sort of skill and user input.

i mean, if you wana talk about POs... the multiboxing ban be real.

So uhhhhhhh

+1 even thought whoever their carpenter is needs fired that dupe is really bad lmao

+1 i love the big hammer

+1 even though I already did from my British bias. I just had the chance to meet them in game and see what they do. Nice dupe, great people, very polite, great accents, good role-players. I can't wait to watch some Brit and Irish beef in the streets. I also loved seeing my old Union Jack from the Fox and Thorn on display

+1 great idea and great people.

+1 pretty chill guys, had to fight the stools in the building though

+1 love the back story ive interacted with these guys numerous times, solid rp and awesome group of guys

+1 Unique ideas. Never seen a faction of this nature. It would be interesting.

+1 Has been active and around showing good RP through their food truck "Dubliner" Good luck on this would be cool to see another Irish fill in the gaps

Dumb nigga. I was at work, something you don't know shit about.

Pendred said he won't add anymore Italian factions. I also find it hard to believe you have 50+ people actively waiting for a faction.

-1 if you know the don you know my reasonings…

The application is well-thought and the content is impressive. I think this faction would add a fun environment and flavor to the existing Italian roleplay. It would be cool to see the DeCavalcante family on the server. +1

I like the idea. Reminds me of the Greeks in The Wire. Good luck!

REGARDING THE LEGAL BUSINESS SITUATION: What you said about my playtime is perfectly understandable. I understand it is below par for what you would usually accept. I do however, believe I have the necessary skills and have the right people around me to grow this faction into a long standing, important organisation within Diverge. As for the legal business side of things, we expected to not get a Gun Racket straight away, so we have drawn up offshoot companies within the organisation which can eventually build up to the Gun Racket. The first, which is directly linked to the Gun Racket, would be the security firm. This would include personal day-to-day security, security at an event/social gathering, vehicle escorts and the protection of private property. We do intend on purchasing the property of the Harbor, which we want to turn into the Gun Racket, long term of course since I may not be available to do that just yet. Instead, I'd like to make use of Fidalgo Transportes and organise a company which involves themselves with the security firm above regarding the vehicle escorts. Adding onto that, Fidalgo Transportes will also work with other companies to deliver goods to people instead of them having to go to a restaurant or any store in general. This would create RP scenarios with those other businesses which we work with to collect the goods and then also with the customer when receiving the product. The two companies above would work great together as well as on their own, which creates a very active atmosphere as there is a lot more to do than your average faction. This also benefits outsiders because there are more opportunities for them to get into new RP events that they wouldn't have previously been able to be involved in and adds a unique touch to Diverge by doing so. By quickly understanding how the game works, but also the gaps within the market, we believe this would be a great opportunity for the server to grow and build on it's already flourishing activity. We think that we have settled in comfortably and are confident in our skills to lead a faction, irregardless of my playtime and others that may be in the organisation. I encourage questions about these companies so I can give everyone a good understanding of what the vision is and what we want to accomplish here.

Wrong link, mb. It's fixed now. Thank you for informing me.

+1 Good shit these guys have good rp and, it will be nice to have a Russian mob back in city.

-1 kurt isnt actually the biggest steppa

+1 Great application and a unique idea that adds value to roleplay in many ways that we have not seen before. Not only adding value to roleplay, but everything in the applications seems extremely roleplay oriented which will be great for the city overall. All people involved are great and active role-player's as well so I don't see how this would not succeed. Would love to see this accepted.

+1 I beg of you to succeed where Odessa failed

+1 smoove

+1 Cool Black Organization. haven't seen much organised black and hispanic stuff lately

Looks like a really cool concept and i'd definitly have fun RPing with these guys. +1

+1 too many clueless russians running around in server constantly, if they were organized into this faction it will add so much more rp.

^ Dumb spam the person above

Ion know what the fucks happening on page 4 but +1 these niggas OG

-1 | Similar to what Tables put. I don't like the idea behind black factions because they've always been minge fests and terrible for new people who just started in the city. I say this because I remember KTH and I see a resemblance. They mugged new people and lost there interests and finally they would get new people and would get new people in trouble because they were never really cared about in there faction and left to minge with a racket all to themselves making the server unenjoyable for a lot of people. I am not biased because I was in KTH and I loved the Miami days and was very good friends with a lot of people in there but even the Don of KTH knew about this.

I wrote my entire backstory on a discord- and that discord has logs of the messages how did I get 2.08%

-1 It may not be 100% AI, but it is very patched in and out of AI text. 2 weeks is simply not enough time.

+1!!

+1 this is indeed a unique faction being that currently there are no african american organizations. This unique rp has yet to reach the server in my time here. You see pop up groups, but never a full on organization. On another note, Davey is a good roleplayer and commits to his roles, I know this will be banger

+1 I think that this new step as a Mexican triad will be very influential to the server, I hope to see notorious characters like Pablo Escobar and maybe the notorious lady boy racket implemented!

+1 sadly… (fuck the Irish)

+1 more italians in mafia rp, oh marrone

-1 You "Offer" bar hopping, and bike formations, Previous and Current MCs have said the same thing about Bike formations, only to then not enforce it and it act as a Gang with biker cuts. I don't see anything that will separate you from any other MC, TBH I'd say think of some more RP situations or new things your faction could bring, that could spice up the server.

yet we stayed active for 3 years since before MP times, and then we continued to stay active doing other things once we were removed?

+1 good rpers and a good faction before

+1 I think this is would be very beneficial to the server. I think this could be a faction that lasts a long time. Seems like it has a lot of creativity behind it and I think it spice up the RP a bit.

+1, Nothin but love from me, Best capo ive ever met and definitely gonna run a fire faction

+1 Was a capo in a previous faction I was in, and did pretty good job.

+1 - Good application, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what this organization can bring to legal rp on the server. Basel knows his shit and has the experience needed to run a faction. We're so sorely lacking in interesting legal rp, and this could be part of the solution. Easiest +1 I've given recently, good luck to you my man

-1

+2 but -1 for posting it twice
