  1. Im tired of having to sell baggies of weed individually. Plus, oil companies could sell stuff easier. Have the option appear next to the sell button on a particular item. Please.

  2. people acting like ERP would instantly destroy the server when half the rackets in organised crime RP already revolve around nightlife, clubs, escorts, blackmail, relationships, etc if anything it could actually ADD more RP and economy opportunities instead of every criminal business just being: “give me $20k by friday boss” clubs could actually run VIP services, romance RP, honeytrap setups, dancers, casino girls, blackmail operations, and other adult-themed rackets that fit mafia settings way more naturally than standing AFK at a money printer like instead of every interaction being “pay cash for protection,” some characters could trade favors, companionship, private entertainment, or leverage for access and influence. that kinda social RP is literally everywhere in mafia movies and shows already obviously keep it private and consensual and don’t let people spam weird stuff in public chat, but pretending adult themes don’t exist in organised crime RP is kinda goofy sometimes character RP is more interesting than spreadsheet simulator fr

  3. Also ngl this rule is already impossible to enforce because people have been doing private ERP under the table forever anyways I’ve literally ERP’d with tons of girls and guys in this community and never been punished once because when it stays private and both people are consenting, nobody even notices or cares That’s exactly why the suggestion was saying to just formalize common sense rules instead of pretending it never happens at all People already do relationship RP constantly The only difference is whether staff wants to acknowledge reality or keep acting shocked whenever two characters flirt too hard in DMs Like be serious for one second y’all allow strip clubs , mafia marriages , cheating arcs , gang torture RP , drug trafficking , and murder storylines but suddenly two consenting adults being freaky in private is where the immersion becomes “too far” Nobody is asking for public chat to become gooner central literally just keep it private , consensual , and away from random people Free the ERP community fr

  4. I’m actually really on board with this idea tbh People already do relationship RP, marriage RP, club RP, mafia family drama, etc. so pretending romance just magically stops at hand holding feels kinda unrealistic As long as it stays PRIVATE and CONSENSUAL, I genuinely don’t see the problem Your suggested rules make complete sense: • keep it in private chats • both people have to agree • don’t harass random players • no weird public chat spam • staff can still step in if people take it too far That seems completely reasonable to me. Nobody is asking for the server to become some degenerate chaos zone people just want realistic character interactions and relationship storytelling because that naturally happens in serious RP sometimes. The example you gave: “/me pulls Isabella closer and kisses her while music plays from the club speakers” is literally normal cinematic RP Mafia stories, nightclub scenes, toxic relationships, betrayals, marriages, jealousy, drama — that stuff is part of immersive RP whether people admit it or not I think the important part is moderation and boundaries, not outright banning every form of romantic/intimate RP because a few people might abuse it Free the ERP community fr

  5. Hello all, With the new addition of Drug Market Fluctuating Values, i believe we need a new form of storage, especially for those smart enough (Or dumb enough) to hold out until it's a better price. And as of such I'd like to introduce the concept of the "Sealed Case" Aka Drug Case. As can be seen above, The Sealed Case would hold 10 Baggies, and when opening it / using it there should be a /me in the chat, such as. /me (Name) Opens the sealed container. These Sealed Cases should be Felony Items therefore if an officer see's someone opening it they may move to make an arrest etc.

  6. i think ERP should be allowed because people already do relationship RP anyway and it’s kinda weird that you can own strip clubs and do mafia marriage RP but then get in trouble if characters flirt too hard obviously it should stay private and not be spammed in public chat because nobody wants to see allat in OOC, but if 2 people consent to it then i don’t really see the issue rules could just be: keep it private both people have to agree don’t be weird to random players no public chat degeneracy staff can still stop people if it becomes annoying example: /me pulls Isabella closer and kisses her while music plays from the club speakers that kinda stuff already happens naturally in RP anyway i’m not saying turn the server into gooner paradise but realistic mafia RP includes relationships and drama sometimes so banning it entirely feels kinda silly free the ERP community fr example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnSCbww95aY&ab_channel=MrPenguin

  7. I had to take some time to gather myself before I could post on this topic since it's something I'm rather emotional about... This really hits close to home for me for a few reasons, mainly due to being in a faction that owns a club, and we can't throw ass shaking diddy parties. As restricting as it is being forced to RP on Garry's mod, and not being able to live my larp truth IRL (my larpself) it's really triggering that you can't express your body (in my hoes case, her body) in a way that you want to. With such a progressive server owner and community manager, I really hope we can usher in a new age of roleplay that allows us to be our true self.

  8. I’m actually losing my mind reading some of these replies because the hypocrisy is genuinely insane This server is BUILT around mature themes Organized crime Drug trafficking Money laundering Strip clubs Cheating arcs Mafia marriages Executions Kidnappings Corrupt cops Gang wars ALL of that is apparently “realistic immersive RP” But the SECOND two consenting people wanna ERP privately everybody suddenly transforms into the Vatican “Think of the minors” BRO THEN WHY IS THE ENTIRE SERVER BASICALLY GTA WITH BETTER TYPING People are literally roleplaying cartel torture scenes and executions in warehouses but y’all are acting like: “/me kisses Isabella softly while music plays” is some catastrophic moral collapse of civilization And the funniest part is EVERYBODY already knows private ERP happens People date IC People flirt IC People do relationship drama People literally get married IC But suddenly the second anything goes one step further in PRIVATE DMs everyone starts clutching their pearls like: “THIS IS AGAINST THE VALUES OF THE COMMUNITY ” BE SERIOUS I’ve literally ERP’d with tons of girls and guys in this community already and guess what happened? Nothing Because when two consenting people keep it private and don’t act weird in public literally nobody notices or cares That’s why the original suggestion made PERFECT sense Keep it private Require consent No harassing random people No public chat degeneracy Staff can still step in if people become annoying THAT IS A COMPLETELY NORMAL RULESET Nobody is asking for global chat to become gooner central Nobody is asking for people to start writing wattpad scenes in OOC People just want the rules to reflect the reality of the server instead of pretending romance magically stops existing the moment characters go behind closed doors Like genuinely what are we even doing anymore Violence? Allowed Drug dealing? Allowed Extortion? Allowed Strip clubs? Allowed ERP in private between consenting people? “ABSOLUTELY NOT THIS IS TOO FAR” The inconsistency is actually frying my brain

  9. -1’ing this is actually so annoying because y’all already allow relationship RP everywhere in the server You can own strip clubs, do mafia marriages, cheating arcs, romance storylines, and all kinds of suggestive RP, but suddenly if two consenting people take it slightly further in private it’s treated like the end of the world. Nobody is saying turn global chat into some degenerate cesspool. The suggestion literally said: keep it private both people consent no harassing random players no public ERP spam staff can intervene if it becomes disruptive That’s completely reasonable. And the “too many minors” argument doesn’t even make sense when the server already allows tons of mature themes. Violence, drugs, organized crime, torture RP, strip clubs, etc. are apparently fine for immersion, but flirting too hard in private DMs is where the line gets drawn? Also people seriously need to stop acting like every romantic interaction is ERP. Half the examples being discussed are normal relationship RP that already happens naturally: “/me pulls Isabella closer and kisses her while music plays from the club speakers” That is not some insane explicit scene. Realistic mafia RP includes relationships, affairs, drama, and intimacy sometimes. Banning anything remotely ERP-related entirely just feels inconsistent with the rest of the server.

  10. Idk about the punching and the sitting, but they could add like a driving test you have to pay for and complete to get your license. That way you need to get money somehow to get the license and also have to pass a test before being able to access the car dealer NPC.

  11. In-Game Name(s): Noah Roth, Archer Murphy, Pancake Patrick Pevers🛢, Samuel Bufalino-DeStefano, and Jeff Stiffwix Steam Name: Ka1 Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Ka1l1lly/ Steam ID: 76561199202544658 Discord Username: ka1l1lly Age: 17 When did you first join the server: End of December 2025 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 1mo 6d Time Zone: CST --------------------------------------- How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: As much as needed during the weekdays! (2-4 hours during the day, sometimes more, plus 2-3 in the evenings!) Have you read the rules?: Yep Do you have a working microphone?: Yep 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, but I am willing to learn! Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes, I acknowledge this. --------------------------------------- Long Answer What is your motivation/reason for applying?: My motivation comes from the amount of playtime I have on the server. Overall I've had nothing but positive interactions with staff members, but I find during the day there's a slow response time to tickets, and well, I want to help! I've been a staff member on other servers outside of Garry's Mod (a couple Roblox games and most recently a moderator/mini administrator on a Minecraft server!) So I understand the basic concepts and the way to interact with people when they are being difficult! Other than that I'm motivated because I want to be of assistance to members of the community and help make the game a more enjoyable experience! Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I think I should be considered due to the fact I can be on during the day when most staff can't, also because I have lots of playtime in my 5 months here! I also know how to handle situations in a way that creates a positive environment throughout the community. Overall I believe I hold a positive presence on the server and that is just another reason I should be considered to be a member of staff. Other than that I know how to hold myself accountable for my decisions and fully understand the consequences if I do not act up to standards. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I have been a Moderator/Mini Administrator on a Minecraft server for 8 months. I staffed a few Roblox games back in 2023-2025 but I've since resigned from those. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I was banned once in that whole unapproved crew deal discord incident at the end of February/early April. I have since read the discord rules thoroughly and reflected on the situation. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I think members of the community are fond of me and that I am well known! I have been writing a magazine in game for 6 weeks now, and that has been a good community outreach moment. I also held an assistant manager position with the Trattoria so many people know me through there. Overall I believe I have a positive reputation throughout the server, from the Italians to the Jews. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: Honestly, my favorite moment was when a staff spawned a chair that had the name "Magical Chair" and I carried one of my good friends to every restaurant in the game asking for "seating for my grandpa in the wheelchair". It may seem super silly but it was actually very fun and made lots of people laugh! Also pretty much any game master event I've been a part of has been wonderful! Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: ShauningT, Yugi, Toast, Shyy, and Lunar. --------------------------------------- Problem Solving: Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: If the roleplay situation allows it, switch to my staff character and help the people affected out. If I am in the middle roleplay situation (ex. I'm currently mid arrest on my PD char) I will wait till that scenario is over, then help with the 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?: Report the situation to upper administration with proof, even if it's a maybe, it's always better to report it and let someone who is a seasoned staff member handle the situation. Depending on the situation and the severity of the mischief, I would contact a person of higher authority. I would never confront the person face on to avoid conflict among staff members. 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 proceed with this like I did not know the person at all, I would review the clip/logs and act accordingly, no matter who it is, everyone should be treated fairly. I believe this approach eliminates the chance of bias towards a friend/faction member. Thank you for considering my application!

  13. Now we in the 90s, quaaludes started dying out and Ecstasy/MDMA became more popular. So maybe we could swap the drugs over and keep them at same price or slight increase or decrease of price. Also changes things up as Drug Rackets have been the same for a while.

Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I believe I should be unpk'd because the person who was trying to mug me never properly specified it was a mugging. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/tr/games/garrys-mod/clips/mJBp5Jbh0I9MLFIEP?invite=cr-MSxnakwsMjcyODgyOTUw&v=72

  16. Right now, staff often need to PM players with messages like /pm "You're no longer PK Active." /pm "You're PK Active for 15 minutes as you're involved in a PK." /pm "Blah blah blah, staff stuff, blah blah blah." We already have the /it command, which can make roleplay experiences much more memorable when used correctly. /it The wind brushes past your hair. You're awfully close to the edge. /it One more step and all your problems would be over. /it You feel your heartbeat begin to slow as the adrenaline leaves your system. The only issue with /it is that it affects everyone within a certain radius, which means it can't be used for sensitive information that should only be seen by one person. If possible we could have something like a PM and a /it Without the Staff name attached, even if it's a command locked to a Certain rank i think it'd just be better overall for RP situations /pit STEAMID "Example, Example" It would work exactly like /it, but the message would only be visible to a single player via SteamID. For example You’ve just made a PK ticket and sent your proof to staff, I Think personally it'd be more immersive with the /Pit involvement instead of us using /pm and breaking immersion [Yugi PM]: The dude is active. *You feel your heartbeat quicken in your chest. Whatever you're about to do may be the last moment of your life or theirs. You go out and kill the player, and 15 minutes later, instead of receiving the following PM, you get the message in chat with the /pit function [Yugi PM]: You're no longer PK Active. *Your heartbeat begins to slow as the adrenaline leaves your system. It seems that today will not be your last.

  18. That’s not even the point I was making though I’m NOT saying “the server has crime RP so ERP should automatically be allowed” you completely missed the argument What I’m saying is the server already allows mature STORYTELLING and relationship-focused RP in general so acting like EVERY form of private ERP is instantly unacceptable no matter the context feels inconsistent There’s a MASSIVE difference between: weird public ERP involving minors harassing random players making people uncomfortable in public chat and: two consenting adults privately roleplaying relationship/intimate scenes Those are NOT the same thing at all Nobody is arguing for public degeneracy Nobody is asking for OOC chat to become NSFW twitter The original suggestion LITERALLY said: keep it private both people must consent don’t involve random players don’t spam it publicly staff can intervene if it becomes disruptive That is a COMPLETELY different conversation from: “let minors ERP freely” which NOBODY was advocating for And realistically this type of RP already exists in basically every relationship-heavy RP community whether people openly admit it or not Characters already: flirt date get married have affairs do romance arcs own strip clubs have emotionally intimate scenes So people are basically arguing over WHERE the line gets drawn not whether romance exists at all My point was the line should probably be: “keep it private and consensual” instead of: “absolutely forbidden under every circumstance even in private between consenting adults” And honestly pretending it NEVER happens is just unrealistic Most communities already handle this stuff through moderation standards instead of total bans: no minors no public ERP no harassment no weird behavior toward random players punish people who cross boundaries That makes WAY more sense than acting like two adults privately doing relationship RP somehow destroys the integrity of the server You can disagree with allowing ERP and that’s completely fair but acting like my argument was: “crime exists therefore sex RP should exist ” is just intentionally oversimplifying what I said

  19. I really really agree with this. I think it will bring lots of new roleplay into the community but we need some safety put in place. As a woman I think this would also help increase some of my potential profits in the server. Also if we need any testing or anything I could be considered for testing. P.s: thanks for the examples! P.s.s: who would you erp with?

  28. bro what year do you think it is that we still need fastdl steam workshop downloads files through steam automatically which is quicker than fastDLL or gluapack could ever hope to be the server runs on x86-64 allowing for a much larger memory address range than the usual 4gb which prevents your client overloading during connection it is 2026. we are playing a game on an engine released in 2004. that is 22 YEARS AGO. If you struggle to connect then you either have bad internet or a very bad PC which has nothing to do with the server look into fastDLL for me and tell me if you think downloading each file from every single addon individually rather than steam downloading the entire addon at once for you is a good idea do you really think the server is running on gmod's throttled ass 20kb/s limit?

  29. Literally the perfect solution. Detectives should be able to walk around and ask questions or whatever in suits. They look dumb in uniforms constantly. I am not, and never have been a Detective, but I think they deserve to have that unique style. Badge on the belt in a suit would look sick.

  34. Rules: You may only make one appeal per PK, if you are denied you will be unable to appeal for that character again. You must appeal within one week of your character being PK'd, appeals posted after this time will be automatically denied. You may only comment on an appeal if you were DIRECTLY involved with the situation leading up to the PK. Replies that are not relevant to the situation will result in a forum warning and/or ban. You must follow the provided template for the appeal, failure to do so will result in an instant denial.

  37. -1 Too many minors in the server and it's against Multiple forms of TOS That the server follows And on that topic, people just need to understand what falls under ERP and isn't ERP. as mentioned prior “/me pulls Isabella closer and kisses her while music plays from the club speakers” Is not ERP In terms of the Video Provided that is what would be considered ERP and what is Not allowed

  40. I'm a crim main these days and I gotta say it's fucking boring. The cops are so neutered that if you get arrested as a made guy these days and they didn't powergame you somehow, you're probably genuinely retarded. There used to be risk to doing shit out in the open. Now I just kill people in central park, pick up my casings, and run away knowing that the case is cold as fuck. Grind brick, rinse, repeat. The only threat is a possible snitch. Undercover ops are pretty much moot since staff is currently okay with you and your friends inventing a random made up person to "collect debt from" and you beat them to nlr. If you don't do it, your op is cooked. If you do it, your op is cooked. Crims genuinely have no idea how easy they have it after having been on both sides so thoroughly. The DOJ is neutered. The bureau of detectives is neutered. Look at everything "major" that has happened to different organizations in recent memory. Cassanos got their pp smacked bc they didn't do proper due diligence. Lucchese got a smack on the wrist for similar. Bonanos again similar due to people dying but they're bouncing back. There's probably other minor nuisance headache setbacks other factions endured for 10 minutes then moved on from but the point is there's really only risk caused by your people being genuinely retarded, not high level police work. Make crims have to be smart again. No pain no gain. My money is where my mouth is on this one too.

  42. +1 Quaaludes were out of order by the late 1980's, I know a man myself who began dealing as the 90's opened, particularly ecstasy, so it is quite realistic. Pfizer was a monoply in Quaaludes, they discontinued them and stopped producing in 1985, the only remaining market suppliers were some small illegal Hungarian groups, but receded and disappeared in the 80's. I hope that this could push towards some drug crafting system, e.g. Crack, Speedballs (getting some bunus for combined sale, such as heroin and cocaine), this could add new ways of introduction to the drug business and illegal markets. There is a lot of fun here to be had and this is the first jab!
