Your Character or Steam Name: Andy | Senior Officer James Abdallah Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:439522528 Your Discord ID#: xqkhu Reason for ban: Powergame Length of ban: 3D Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute Why should you be unbanned?: Because I never had any intention of forcing anyone into an RP situation they had no reason to be involved in (What Happened?) For the past 12 hours, I had been continuously playing on my Officer character, i was taking a random individual to the NYPD to arrest him for "Failure to Comply" when Lucri a Supreme Team member who clearly dislikes me and was repeatedly yelling at me started following me along with someone i didn't recognize at the time. Neither of them had anything to do with the situation/arrestment yet they followed me all the way to the NYPD for some reason which i dont have any idea of. While I was taking the original suspect inside, one of the individual from the crowd kept blocking my way to NYPD. I gave him multiple lawful orders to stop but he continued so I arrested him for Obstruction of Justice, after he spoke in the cells i realized he was Redeemer (someone ive recently had OOC issues with) His first response was "I need a supervisor" Luckily Big Boss Jamal Lee was online so i called him through RPD and he came to the cells, he first asked me "What the charge was and how the situation happened" After i explained everything he said "Yes, what he did is Obstruction of Justice. Let me speak to him, give me a moment" He then spoke to Redeemer privately for around 10 minutes, came back out, confirmed there was no issue with the charges and told me i could continue the arrest. I went back inside and asked "Do you want a plea deal or do you want to go to court?" He said he wanted to go to court, so i left the cell. As I was closing the door, he said "wait" so i opened the door again. He asked to see the plea deal again, so I offered him the same deal "Obstruction of Justice and Resisting Arrest - 10 years" He told me he changed his mind and said he wanted to sign a PLEA Deal instead of going to court. He then asked "Neither of these charges is a felony, right?" after that question i Alt Tabbed to check the [DV-N] NYC Central Hub Penal Codes and when i returned to the game i saw/realized that he had already signed the agreement which i offered him just 30 seconds ago so i just closed the cell door and sent him to prison through the NPC and continued my patrol RP (Afterwards) Around 30 minutes later, Ka1 pulled me into a sit and told me he believed i Powergamed???? the issue is that I never sought out any of these interaction. I was arresting a completely random person and minding my own business/rp when Supreme People inserted themselves into my RP and followed me for absolutely no reason. I never contacted, approached, or interacted with them in any kind of way AT ALL. Redeemer repeatedly obstructed me despite multiple lawful orders so obviously for that reason i charged him for the crime he was actively committing IC Ka1 told me he believed I Powergamed because I had OOC beef with the guy, despite the fact that I had absolutely no idea it was Redeemer until he spoke in the cells. I repeatedly asked him what specific action in the situation made him believe i was Powergaming but instead of giving me an explanation I was met with responses like "Andy, you know what you did" "Andy, that's one of the worst lies I've heard recently" "Andy, it's obvious you arrested him and tried to get him convicted because you have OOC beef with him" When I asked Ka1 what the logic behind this was and what exactly i did that constituted Powergaming his response was verrry simply "go appeal, Andy" and banning me, So Lemme get this straight, im arresting someone and taking them to the station two members of a faction I recently COUPED randomly insert themselves into the situation and start provoking me, one of them repeatedly blocks my path despite being given multiple lawful orders to stop so i arrest him for the crime he is actively committing and take him to the cells, he changes his mind about going to court at the last second and VOLUNTARILY signs a plea deal that makes him a felon and somehow im the one who Powergamed and forced him to get convicted or become a felon????????????? (10.000 IQ Questions) I haven’t received a single note in the past 6 months and i genuinely don’t even remember receiving a Powergaming note within the past year. I’m simply doing my own RP, people who insert themselves into the situation end up getting arrested because of their own IC actions and somehow im the one being blamed for it? Did I tell him to come block my path? Did I force him to ignore multiple lawful orders? Did I force him to change his mind about going to court and sign a plea deal that made him a felon? I genuinely cannot understand HOW THE FUCK any of this can possibly be considered Powergaming at all bruh, While watching the clip, id like to point out that despite already having my handcuffs out i continued verbally warning him instead of arresting him and i only arrested him after he once again got right in my ASS and obstructed me, EVEN THE FUCKING JAMAL LEE HIMSELF SAID THIS WAS OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE AND THAT I COULD PROCEED WITH THE ARREST AFTER LISTENING THE SITUATION FROM HIS SIDE I've been at fault in situations before, but i genuinely believe i am 10000000% innocent here. I was doing normal RP, two people from my former faction followed me into it and one of them committed an IC crime. I arrested him for that crime he was commiting yet somehow im the one being accused of Powergaming????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I still have absolutely no idea why I was banned for Powergaming or which specific action I took that made them believe I forced him into an RP situation (Evidence/The Clip) https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/nrQSuWySnFHj1GCXj?invite=cr-MSxGZWssMjcyODgyOTUw

(Unless you have posted a valid LOA):Yes Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?:Yes 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 staff before in the past and basically quit for the lack of time I had to dedicate to taking tickets and just general staff duties, but recently times slightly freed up for me and I figured I'd re apply. Id Like to use that as a time consumer when Im grinding Aswell like I had done previously, I enjoy being staff! Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I'm more than well versed in being a staff member so I believe I can get right back into it, I got a good understanding of the commands and know general needed rules to be an unbiased rule abiding staff member Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Diverge Networks Admin for 6+ months Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have a rap sheet but still haven't been banned for over a year now Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I would say I'm well known some people don't like me but fuck em, but to all my friends I think I'm seen as a friendly very interactive person, I'm very easy to make friends with! What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: It still has to be the senator assassination I witnessed in late 2024 I believe It was greenghost running the gm event. I just thought it was super funny how everyone up and scattered Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names:Nerp ------------------------------------------------- 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?:attempt to try and ask another admin to Assist me and If I would really want to take it that far I would make a player report in the forums if no one responded to me. 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?:Try and make it apparent to someone even higher that I have witnessed them doing this and try to provide some context and evidence if possible. 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?:Just because he's my friend doesn't really coorelate with the situation I would continue foward with the evidence Im provided and see if what the person who made the ticket was claming is true against my friend even with his common play style in mind.

aight i have a very valid question that im genuinely curious about, as far as im aware ERP isn’t allowed on Diverge and is one of the most heavily disliked forms of RP However there is a Rape charge listed in the Penal Codes, how does that work exactly? What is the fine line that distinguishes the two?

In-Game Name(s): Senior Officer Mike Lasky Ben Preatini Steam Name: Ghost / Hades Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198233519052/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:136626662 Discord Username: _justhades_ Age: 24 When did you first join the server: Around 2023. Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 3w 5d 19h 33m Time Zone: Eastern Time Zone (EST) How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: I’d say it would be around a 50/50 split between playing normally and staffing. I’m out of the Army and going back to college full-time, along with working, so obviously I won’t be available every hour of the day. That being said, I spend a good amount of my free time and most of my nights on the server, so I can dedicate a fair amount of that time toward helping the staff team and taking tickets when needed. Have you read the rules?: Yes. Do you have a working microphone?: Yes, I do. 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?: Yes. I’ve played Garry’s Mod for around 8,000 hours, so I have a pretty good understanding of SAM commands and NutScript. There may be a few server-specific commands I would need to learn, but I’m comfortable learning those as I go. Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes. I understand that lying on the application can result in an immediate denial and blacklist from the staff team. ⸻ Long Answer What is your motivation/reason for applying?: Diverge has basically been my main server for close to three years now, including during my time in the Army. After getting out, getting a new PC, and coming back to the community, it was nice seeing that I still had a server and community I could come back to. Now that I’m getting settled back into normal life and going back to college, I feel like it’s a good time to finally apply. I’ve spent a lot of time just playing and being part of the community, and I’d like to start contributing in another way by helping players and taking some of the workload off the current staff team. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: The biggest thing I can offer is activity and availability. Outside of work and going to college full-time, I spend a lot of my nights playing on Diverge, so I’m already around the server pretty consistently. I also have a lot of experience with Garry’s Mod in general, and I’ve been around RP communities long enough to understand that staffing isn’t just about handing out punishments. I think being patient, listening to both sides, and knowing when something actually needs staff intervention are equally important. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I’ve previously played and staffed within a few Star Wars RP communities as well as another Mafia RP server. It has been a while, so I don’t want to exaggerate or make up exact positions or timeframes that I don’t remember. Most of my experience with administration today comes from having spent roughly 8,000 hours in Garry’s Mod and being familiar with how SAM, NutScript, logs, tickets, and general server moderation work. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: N/A Would you say that you are well known in our community, what’s your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I’d say my reputation is probably somewhere between respectful and neutral. I’m not going to claim that everybody on the server knows me, but the people I regularly interact with generally know me and I try to keep those interactions positive. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: There’s honestly too many to really pick one. I’ve been in the PD, played Scottish characters, Russian characters and now I’m around Little Italy. Most of my favorite memories are probably just from the random situations and people I’ve met through all of those. That’s probably a big reason I’ve kept coming back to the server anyway. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: None to my knowledge. ⸻ Problem Solving Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: First I’d make sure it was actually RDM and not something I saw without knowing the full context. Just because I watched somebody kill someone doesn’t automatically mean there wasn’t an RP reason behind it. If it actually looked like RDM and another staff member wasn’t already dealing with it, I’d go on duty and handle it normally. Get both sides of what happened, check logs/evidence and go from there. If they did RDM, I’d give whatever punishment fits based on the rules and their previous warnings. 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 probably start recording or keeping evidence of what’s happening first. I wouldn’t immediately go around accusing them of staff abuse if I couldn’t actually prove anything. If it keeps happening and I have enough evidence to show there’s actually something going on, I’d bring it to whoever is above them or staff management and let them deal with it. I also wouldn’t confront them in front of players or start talking about it with everyone else because that’s just going to create unnecessary drama. Their rank wouldn’t really change anything for me. If they’re abusing their position then management should know about it. 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?: Yeah, there’s definitely a possibility of bias there. Even if I don’t mean to be biased, knowing the person and already thinking “he normally doesn’t do this” could affect how I look at the situation. If another staff member is available I’d probably just have them take the ticket. That removes the problem completely If nobody else can take it and I have to handle it, then I’d handle it like any other sit. Listen to both people, check logs/clips and make the decision based on what actually happened. If my friend broke the rules, then they’re getting the same punishment somebody I don’t know would get. Being my friend or being in my faction shouldn’t get them out of a punishment.

"large family trades" bro's factions unique trait is he does crew deals

There are a few charges that don't typically have massive gameplay implication and are seldom used. State terrorism, resisting an INS offical etc. It's on there because whoever created the penal code added it. A criminal code would have such a crime and as an exercise in world building, it makes sense. It also being a roleplay server, there may be a reason in a story or event for police to do such a charge without any ERP actually occurring. To state the obvious, no you cannot ERP on this server, there is no special circumstances where it would be permitted. Doing a cringe /me to try to get this charge is likely to get you in trouble with staff and would be fail-rp/powergame ( making it invalid ) .

Here's a shortened video to save reviewing staff time as the first video is long. You were infact not protecting your friend, as in the video you see that you STABBED ME before running into the casino and hiding where your next clip then starts showing you as the hero. 1d ban was extremely generous. especially considering you lied to him the entire time preaching about how you only stabbed me after I shot your friend despite my clip showing that you stabbed me much before that https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/nrVwjagqsyz8fksnG?invite=cr-MSxSTTIsNjEzMjU2ODE1

i belive if you get charged with rape its a insta ban

Hi, banning staff here. You and your friend were, for some reason, attacking Pedro with a knife. Even before that, you and your friend ran up on him at the ATM. From what we can tell, you both tried again afterward, which ultimately led to the clip we see now. The clip you provided was also clearly edited to only show you running over to “save” your friend, leaving out the events that led up to it. If anything, this situation should’ve been considered NITRP based on the context leading up to the clip.

I'd also like to point out that Redeemer is a former Detective and currently a Senior Officer meaning he should be fully aware of the charges and their consequences. They chose to mess with me alongside their friend out of nowhere and no reason and whether intentionally or not they ended up committing IC crime in the process. I genuinely don't understand how I’m the one being held responsible for the actions they chose to take. He specifically asked me whether the charges were felonies and before i could even answer him he signed the plea deal himself. I genuinely don't understand why y'all are acting like i held a gun to his head and forced him to sign the plea deal and make him a felon If I genuinely had any intention of Powergaming in this clip, why would I choose to do it to the guy who barely even said a word to me instead of the guy who was actually yelling at me, calling me a pedophile and disrespecting both me and my country?

nigga named his shit after a town in russia

folk im crine just ask the boss

Wtf is this name

-1 how do you expect to run a gun store only selling Russian guns you aint getting a gun racket off rip and aint gonna find many in sewer or barge

Stay dead dawg no coup will happen under my radar you British cock sucker cunt

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.

I think you I banned you because you clearly showed no regard for serious roleplay and that you kept minging, got killed a few times and returned. I do not recall the situations really. I honestly forgot to put it in the ban notes. With a ton of recent nitrp notes i decided to ban u for 9 days

expired

Hello, banning admin here. As i explained to you during the sit, multiple times and at length, the issue is that you personally gave no warnings for him to leave, nor did you have your gun pointed at him before shooting. You walked up to the situation, and without you giving a warning, shot him. As i was unsure of how that action stood in regard to the rules, I briefly called AceAdmiral, a senior admin. After speaking with her, and explaining the situation, we came to an understanding that what you did was rdm, as you did not escalate properly. I looked over your notes and bans, and then realized that you had 6 prior bans (3 for rdm) and 10 notes (5 for rdm/ardm). After seeing you had so many logged punishments on your account, starting from February, I decided a ban was appropriate. I will say, I believe I was VERY lenient on the ban time considering your extensive punishment history and your last ban being 7 days (which ended less than a week ago).

Yeah you shot me, i wasnt arresting anyone, I had no idea you were "trading illegal guns", I asked a friend of yours for his license and you shot me in the back of the head (you yourself said its cause you thought I was arresting you guys, i was not, your buddy had a license) Then you, after I spawned, I was standing in the street chatting about something degenerate with some cassano and you shot me and him in the head randomly. Second time I didn't even know you were there, you just kinda randomly decided to do a double kill. "Wrongful ban" was not the correct appeal reason here bud

(Yes/No): Yes Do you acknowledge that your faction discord will be owned by us? (Yes/No): Yes Provide an example of the unique Roleplay your faction will bring to the server/what type of roleplay we can expect from your faction (Images/Videos Preferred): We will become drug lords that farm our own racket in masses and increase the drug circulation in town, in general, dramatically. We will occasionally have bonfires and barbeques, inviting the locals to come feast and enjoy the summit. We will also have a gun shop that sells Russian Guns Exclusively, whilst trying to bring more Russian hardware and tradition to this city. The Gunshop will have a game room for anyone who loves to play cards and bet! Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): We will host family to family LARGE racket trades to entice others to want to do trades/deals We will also host racket competitions internally to motivate people to snowball up quickly and be rewarded for their time and effort. The Summits/bonfires/feasts may also include some card games with betting. Some celebrations will include flaunts of wealth per our tradition. We may also seek to rent out restraunts for activities/celebrations Organization Backstory (Min. of 250+ Words & any images): The Dolgoprudny Crime Family was founded in 1986. We started recruiting former athletes, weightlifters and martial artists. We started to move racket and climb the ladder to control all major drug imports in and out of Moscow. As we gained more traction taking control of the racket circulation, we took more control of Moscow and its Sheremetyevo Airport, and most lucrative economic hubs local. Then, in time, it evolved from controlling the racket movement to controlling racket and commercial properties. We had a pretty solid hold of control over Moscow at this point, having a hand in every gun shop, on every brick, and in every shop. Then other gangs started to form and take what we had built for ourselves, away from us. Eventually 1994 came around and we suffered catastrophic losses when Sergei Bogutenok was killed by the Krasnoyarsk gang in a violent turf war. From that point on, The Dolgoprudny Family fell heavy into the influence of traditional " Vory v Zakone " before law enforcement started to crack down on us. We went into hiding in smaller groups as everyone tried to follow firm to our traditions, but there is too much dispersion now and most of the family and its higher profiled members have dissolved in time.

Btw he killed him when I said I died so idk how that’s a metagame and I didn’t even say come and kill him or he is one shot or anything we didn’t even communicate in discord even after the kill we didn’t even talk, all I said is fuck I died and when I said that Hans was already been shot to death, but I don’t get it? Didn’t you say we metagamed to find where yall at? And I said it in a way that I wasn’t expecting that not metagaming way, if it’s actually a metagame why didn’t I tell him through discord that we are having a fight behind metropolis? Stop with your excuses, you and auxiliary and Hans metagamed really bad and when UA find out pray that auxiliary admin perms doesn’t go away bc he knows for a fact what he did wrong Now you say I metagamed just bc I said fuck I DIED? hilarious!

not enough experience is fair. I just want to have a family of my own and have my learning and growing impact THAT too and not necessarily ONLY other peoples families. as much as it is fun, I also want to help add to a different types of groups. cause I've noticed we are like a 90% Italian town. lol. need more adverse groups. dif accents. dif rp. dif titles. dif themes. dif cultures and traditions. etc. THAT part I enjoy a lot But again, I wont argue my time played is low. its just....not a complex thing. lol. most respectfully. BUT, I could definitely learn the community better for sure.
