I’ve been thinking about how some current mechanics could lead into deeper criminal gameplay if they were expanded a bit. Right now we can lockpick vehicles, but realistically the only thing people do with stolen cars is drive them around for a bit and then ditch them. It feels like the mechanic is there but it doesn’t really lead anywhere. Since vehicles can already have premium tracking, once a car is reported stolen the police automatically get the vehicle description and location. That part works well because it creates a reason for police to respond. The problem is criminals don’t really have a next step besides abandoning the car. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vehicle Theft → Tracker Removal → Chop Shops One idea would be allowing stolen vehicles to be brought to hidden mechanic spots or illegal garages where players can attempt to remove the GPS tracker. The removal could take some time, meaning the car's still traceable while criminals are working on it, giving police a chance to intercept. If the tracker is removed successfully, the vehicle could then be taken to a chop shop. At the chop shop, players could dismantle the car and receive things like: scrap materials illegal vehicle parts a payout depending on the vehicle This would turn vehicle theft into an actual criminal loop instead of just a temporary joyride. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Black Market Buyers Stolen goods could then be sold through black markets buyers. These could be NPC buyers that appear in rotating locations around the map and purchase things like: vehicle parts stolen electronics jewelry contraband Because the location moves, criminals would have to transport the goods across the city instead of selling everything in one place. This also gives police opportunities for surveillance, stakeouts, or interceptions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cargo Truck Robberies Another idea that could fit well would be cargo truck robberies. Delivery trucks moving goods across the city could be intercepted by factions. Players would need to: hijack the truck secure the cargo transport it somewhere else to sell Police could receive alerts like cargo theft in progress or hijacked delivery vehicle, which would create moving situations instead of static robberies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- High Value Transport Robberies A similar system could work with armored vans or jewelry shipments traveling between locations. Factions could attempt to intercept the transport while police respond to protect it. This would naturally lead to bigger RP situations and vehicle pursuits. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall Idea The goal isn't just adding more crimes, but creating connected criminal activities. For example: steal vehicle → remove tracker → chop car for parts → sell parts to black market buyer or intercept cargo truck → steal goods → transport them somewhere else → sell through the black market This kind of system would encourage planning, teamwork, and longer RP chains, while also giving law enforcement more situations to investigate and respond to.

Unleash the horde

Your Character or Steam Name: Hans Hunnebun / Hans De Leon Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:628592126 Your Discord ID#: crispytacos0438 Reason for ban: Mugging Char | Extensive PO's | NITRP Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? Hello, I would like to start this ban appeal off with my perspective of my roleplay. As far as I have been informed by both the banning staff member and other individuals I have spoken to, the behavior that led to my ban were my statements within the underground advertisement and my issues with mugging. To address my underground advertisement behavior, all I can simply state is that the words said in underground advertisement's do not reflect my character's roleplay. I am man enough to admit that the things I say in the underground advertisements are REALLY, REALLY stupid. Many times, I post before I think about what I really say and, if unbanned, I can promise to improve upon that. Secondly, in accordance to my previous offenses and my "mugging character", my previous permanent ban (unbanned in January 2026) was due to a PD raid, which I apologized deeply for and realize what an idiotic mistake it was. Upon being banned, the individual who banned me claimed that I was "excessively mugging", and also pointed out that in my previous ban appeal, I promised not to mug. In my ban appeal, I stated that I would stop minging, harrassing people, and mugging people. While I can admit that I have mugged while unbanned, I have gone through a great effort to dial back my muggings, along with ensuring that all muggings adhere to all roleplay standards. I would also like to mention that this was all on my main character I've had for years and have followed all the mugging rules to a tea. It is also important to mention that this character has a lot of value, discrediting the idea that I am a mugging character. Subsequently, as mentioned, I have greatly improved my roleplay standards since my previous ban. In my current faction, I have not only created several roleplay situations with friends and other individuals, but I have greatly enhanced my presence in my faction through recruitment. Provided below are several pieces of evidence that show my roleplay since my ban appeal. I am positive that after being given a second chance, I have made much more of a positive impact than a negative impact on both my faction, and Diverge Networks overall. I acknowledge that I have been given a second chance and I understand that my unban may be unlikely, but I would just like to say again that I feel I provide a great amount of roleplay not only to my faction, but to the server overall and that I simply just want one more chance to prove that to the administration of Diverge. Thank you for considering my appeal. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): Some clips of me roleplaying very recently with friends and proof I actually provide roleplay to the server. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mhOyYr5pESr8oA0si?invite=cr-MSx0c0gsMTk3ODk5MjU1&v=43 https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mhOoPpZ4w1gP35B2E?invite=cr-MSwxdmQsMTk3ODk5MjU1&v=56

Allow for us to "ctrl f" inside our banks, for example, you can search hat and it will highlight all the items that have the word hat in its name This would make looking though banks that have lots of items with the same model such as clothing or oil/meth/acid much easier

are you for real? that’s actually crazy. like insane. that’s crazy you had so much custom clothing. holy crap dude. I can’t believe you had this much custom clothing. that’s kinda unbelievable. Honestly it’s hard to believe. That’s wild that you had that much custom clothing. Like bro what the fuck? That much custom clothing? Are you for real? Wow, that’s a lot of custom clothing. An insane amount of custom clothing. And I can’t believe you shared this information with us willingly. Holy.

-1 He muggered me and i REFUSE to cope i lost my 1k suit and has to grind CRIMES sHOULD BE ILLEGAL AND AGAINST THE SERVER Rules. I want fun to be outlawed this guy should stay out of my wop mafia larp

-1 Keep him banned! It just might prevent him from becoming an absolute fucking loser like the others replying to this thread

“but I simply utilize it as a way to roleplay and make money” >mugs someone wearing 0 custom clothing

I can see how being an avid mugger could be breaking the rules if that's the only thing I do in the server. But it's pretty clear and people have even said it on this appeal. I run the gunstore, sell guns, grind, and hire as many people as I can as of now. Just because I mug frequently doesn't mean mugging is all I do. Who cares if I mug someone every now and then? I'm risking the character that I've been grinding on and had for the past 2 years. It seems like if mugging is this much of a problem, even when done correctly, it shouldn't be in the server.

-1 anime pfp and 3 permas

I feel like this clip shows nothing other than you were standing there when someone else got RDMed, please correct me if I'm missing something though.

Honestly, Hans, I have no personal problem with you, but the ONLY "Roleplay" I have seen from you is sitting at the garrison for hours at a time and then going out and mugging 5 people a night, at least thats how its been conveyed to me and what I've seen through various clips. Just because you use this character for roleplay SOMETIMES doesnt mean its not a mugging character when in 6 separate staff members opinions (who this was discussed between) your express purpose on the server is mugging.

Yk what hell yeah +1

+1 I know a lot of people have not met Hans in game but as someone who did not know him before his original perm ban I can say that Hans is one of the most active taka mains I have seen. Yes he mugs a lot but the ban makes absolute no sense, mugging char would imply all he does is mug on that char and provides no RP. However this dude is one of the best hirers I have seen and one of the best role-players in taka. Every time I have seen him in game he will be running the garrison. unban this guy he does not deserve this.

Ah yes, two clips of extremely "high quality" roleplay... Why are you acting like mugging is an addiction you can't shake?

I like this but what punishment would you suggest if a crime faction catches and kills a person who stole their car? If there is a benefit for the thief this could be considered mugging therefore a PK for dying during the robbery.

-1 Ngl since coming back you have mostly mugged, you even made your nickname "top mugger". From most of our points you play to mug not to roleplay. Nothing personal as I think your pretty chill when I have spoke to you but you have a serious mugging problem think its time for Muggers Anonymous

+1 I have witnessed several more times actions that show this person does roleplay and cares about the server, and I know how valuable this character is to him. I think it’s a ridiculous ban because the staff dislike people who mug others, since it’s obvious that his character is not a mugging-type character.

+1 I've had nothing but good experiences with hans

Anyways like Hans said HC and I had been talking to Hans trying to encourage him to do more than just mugging and he became one of our top recruiters and most active members filling in the gaps left by less active members. Not saying bro was perfect I did have to talk to him alot about his mugging habits but he genuinely made an effort to recruit order oil and contribute to deals and pay his kickups. Obviously the ultimate decision comes down to upper staff but imo I think its a stretch to say its a mugging char based off of what I saw from bro and our sale records and training logs. Overall sure his rp wasnt 10/10 but he did genuinely make an effort to make sure he was abiding by server rules and for the most part faction rules as well people are upset bc they got mugged and lost their shit which I get but idk to be crashing out and tweaking bc you were in a red zone without a gun out is kinda silly imo so idk overall he was making a solid effort so its a +1 from me

+1 he's been a very apparent member of diverge and bro is chill asf lowkey I don't see him being a "mugging char". Some people have different kinds of fun while RPing, in this case there's a fine line what kind of roleplayer that has a character mugging for FearRP and a roleplayer who just mugs completely. From what I've seen of him he's in the garrison, selling Guns or hiring. And outside of that he's actively talking to people and making RP scenarios :]

bros mad he prolly got mugged on him and didnt up pipe

the expert mugger

"guys i roleplay" and its literally just you sitting at a table and laughing in a discord call great roleplay super duper huge +1 you should be unbanned IMMEDIATELY at no cost to you

+1 let it continue.

Nb2x95 76561199802104472 892499216662925343 AMRDM | Failed Corruption 14 Days So me and my colleague Mike Stevens received disciplinary strikes from corporal yuna nong. This was my third one which sent me down to probationary for 3 weeks, then I was getting chased from other officers to put on a probationary vest which then I proceeded to fire shots in the air to make them back off, I was then arrested and charged when I was in the cells my colleague Mike Stevens (blobbis22) came into the cells and I told him he should uncuff me and we should take the lawyer hostage as a rp scenario I then asked multiple people if I’d get banned for this even a moderator (Crimson) and they all said no and we would probably just get pked which was fine with us so we carried out with our rp mike even said in chat if they open the door we would kill the hostage and then the officers opened the door and opened fire I would provide the necessary clip but I’m at work currently however after they opened fire we both returned fire but ultimately were overpowered and then when we were in pd basement after respawning they all ran down and arrested us and we were both handed 105 year sentences and we ultimately accepted them resulting the pk of our characters, We were completely fine with this and I ended up going to bed and waking up to see I was banned for 2 weeks. Now at first I wasn’t even going to appeal it because I was pissed off but then I checked the rules and couldn’t find anything that stated that I had broken the rules, moderators if you choose to keep me banned that’s fine but all I ask is that you atleast shorten it by a week or a little longer because I cannot possibly play Ark, Batman Arkham Knight, and arc raiders for 2 weeks straight, and I need to be able to pay my faction the weekly tab, thank you. (If this ticket is still open when I get home and people are asking for the clip I will post it)

What's wrong with a 40 year old cop LARPing on this gmod game?

That's a good point honestly. I wouldn't see vehicle theft the same way as mugging though since most of the time the person stealing the car isn't even interacting with the owner directly. It's more like stealing property than holding someone up. Usually the owner isn't even there, and the police already get the alert once the car gets reported stolen because of the tracking system. If the owner of their faction later tracks down the person who stole it, I'd see that more as a separate RP situation that develops from it rather than it automatically being treated like a robbery situation. I think the bigger risk for the criminals would come from things like getting caught while removing the tracker, being found at a chop shop, or police responding while the car is still traceable. The main idea behind the suggestion was really just to give vehicle theft an actual purpose and create longer RP chains instead of people just stealing cars and ditching them a few minutes later.

who even are you LMAO also never been mugged b4 nice try though

+1 guys had this char since de leon and is a OG, free him fr also fuck Zqrxz he got caught lacking (danny davis boutta make the grand finale)

+1 its his main fucking character people you fuckers are tweakers how is it a " mugging character" if he does other rp on it AND ITS HIS MAIN

The video makes it look as though you're just laughing at someone, you open console and show no /me's other than calling phone numbers. Seems in bad taste, but good luck on your appeal.

3 perma's on record keep this guy gone

+1 In short, I've known this guy for maybe 1-2 weeks and he's been truthfully one of the most helpful guys on this server. He's helped me with several logistical things, including some technical things on the server that has greatly improved my roleplay. In spite of any apparent wrongdoing, his positives for the server greatly out-weight his negatives. Good luck!

Your Name: Mike Brown SteamID: STEAM_0:0:537580088 Staff Member involved: can’t really remember What was blacklisted from you?: PET Reason for blacklist (if given): I went over the top with prop flipping cars Why should it be returned?: There’s not much I can say to dispute this, if a clip exists of me doing this, it looks very very bad. I prop flipped multiple cars one night, on a sort of rampage. A mass car flip incident. At the time it didn’t matter much to me that I’ve lost them, I was so busy with life I simply couldn’t be bothered by losing my prop gun. However one night I decide to play the server and went to my ghetto apartment, only to find an empty space that I could no longer make my HOME. An overwhelming wave of sadness washed over me as I stared at this empty room. I am proud of my interior design skills. My ghetto apartments are truly a great area for all players to enjoy. A tsunami of grief washed me away when I realized I could no longer set up my hood drank stand independently. PLEASE FORGIVE ME STAFF TEAM. My actions were reprehensible, maybe I had to be reminded what it was like to play gmod without its essence. It is truly an unpleasant experience. I will not commit such acts again.

+1 Hans and I have been climbing the ranks together in taka, our numbers have been dropping over the past weeks/months and he's been bringing the numbers up by hiring a shit ton, I've seen him grind shipments, sell guns, even did lawyer rp a few times.

In-Game Name(s): Antonio Bruno, Sergeant Klaus Frinklestein, Luca Peelegrino, Jonathaniel Bouncemeisterton Sr Steam Name: George.W.Bush Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/43rdPrez/games/?tab=all Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:29062731 Discord Username: Saulshitman4 Age: 17 When did you first join the server: Nov 4 2024 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2mo 3w 6d 14h 41m Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 8 Hours 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?: Somewhat 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?: After being in this server for as long as I have been I have never not thought trying out for staff. I think after seeing other staff members operate that I could give it my best shot, do my best and give something new a try. I've also realized that becoming staff looks and sounds quite fun, So why not? Why should you be considered over other candidates?: *I feel as if I have a lot of experience in the more popular rules like minge rules, mugging rules etc. Another reason is because I am able to put in a lot of time and effort into becoming a staff member and also give good advice on the rules and what to do next time. For my final reason on why I think I should be considered over other staff members is because of how I really have no bias toward anyone, If you break a rule you break a rule, and there is nothing more to it. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): No Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have been banned 4 separate times in my time playing diverge once for item transfer for a month, 1 for NITRP 12 hours, one for RDM for 3 days , And 1 for Metagame for 6 hours Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I think that I am somewhat well known in the community for my custom items, I think I have an alright reputation for my characters like my cop char and my main. I think other members have a somewhat neutral feeling towards me. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: The racket events of '89 and '90 Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Boosted, Dopeasretired, Schmekles, Lunar, Yugi, Hammer, Toast ------------------------------------------------- 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?: Kindly ask another staff member to take my ticket. 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 clip it and report it either in the forums or report it to a higher staff member 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 take the ticket, there should be no bias, It does not matter if they are my friend or not, If a rule has been broken then a punishment needs to be given.
