(Reference your unique RP from the question above): The White-Collar Corporation works with every side of the city to host events and provide factions an opportunity to do more mob related things against civilians which so far has been almost nonexistent. By providing these events and different businesses we are promoting civilian/legal RP while also providing criminals/cops RP by interacting with the civilian side. We are involved in all kinds of industries and have a ton of ways for factions interact with our employees as event characters and normal civilians just trying to survive Southside one day at a time. From construction sites, factories, oil tankers, truck robberies, waste management and more we can provide factions unique and new RP that they haven't experienced yet. Besides bringing new stuff we also hope to compete with the other two oil companies in the city and provide some interesting white (and blue) collar RP. Employees who work with us are promoted through profit and performance, making sure that the earners are given more responsibility and the chance to run an industry within the White-Collar Corporation. Come into the city and keep an eye out as almost everything we do is on the fly and happens at random!

Name of Faction: Marielitos Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 11 obviously hella more to come Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Street gang Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Strictly cuban, no other ethnicity will be allowed to keep cultural accuracy. Name of Character running the faction: Diego Hernández Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): tobins Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:526506620 Your Server playtime: 3mo 2w 6d 4h 37m Do you acknowledge and agree to all faction rules as detailed on the server rules page? (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): The main goal of this faction is to be unorthodox in an attempt to facilitate new RP (or rather bring back) lost concepts from diverges past. The most obvious part of this is being a street gang, I think its vital to the server to have differing variety in factions with differing structures, ideals, end goals. I think the main problem is that all the factions have the same goal currently, make a ton of money and advance their racket. The goal of this faction is to act as an alternative from the rest, We do not intend to make a profit or achieve a high end racket. We simply want to provide realistic street gang roleplay without the pressure of constantly processing. With that being said, taking things by violence and domination is the centerpiece of a street gang. Obviously rampant violence and robberies have a negative connotation on the server and is closely tied to mingy behavior. In which we plan to counter this belief by making this a hard faction to join and be extremely picky about who to let in. The faction will not be tailored around a typical crime family structure but rather a crew structure to reflect the reality of a street gang. It will not be a big faction by any means and I can say that confidently now instead of sugarcoating it, I want this to be a niche group of quality role-players that set an example of how to be selective with members and etc. The most controversial part of this faction which I think will be unpopular but I think is worth the experiment, I intend on making people apply to join this faction, I want to really dig out the minges and bad larpers associated with a street gang. The application process would compose of something like a character backstory, providing RP examples, and obviously asking them what they bring to the table RP wise. The application inherently is completely OOC but I feel like it will get a good grasp on mingy behavior and I think my track record goes to show my stance on minges and poor RPers Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): I am not going to sugarcoat this either and make up nonsense event ideas I'm never going to do, but I can guarantee that we will have power vacuums to keep things interesting and make sure people are not emotionally attached to their gmod items, especially as a street gang member. The best way to keep people interested is to keep them on their toes, even though the vacuum is fabricated to a degree, you still have the risk of losing your character which all people accept is going to happen especially when they join a faction. These dynamics can lead to fun situations between juggling external and internal affairs where we all have fun which is the point of the faction. Also as aforementioned, the exclusivity of the faction is a big selling point for the faction and should motivate people to be good at RP and what they do to hold their spot which is critical in retention. This application is shorter than most because I will not fill an application with false promises for approval, these are the intentions and how we will convey them.

I think the server could greatly improve immersion by expanding the available roleplay animations. Instead of needing to create entirely new animations from scratch, it might be worth looking into pulling animation data from frameworks like Clockwork HL2RP or similar Source RP schemas that already have large animation libraries built out. A lot of these frameworks already support things like: Smoking animations. Wall leaning. Notebook writing. Radio use. Searching/patdowns. Injured idles. Sitting variations. Hand interactions. (handover/receive) Investigation poses. Since these already exist within the Source animation sets, it may just be a matter of integrating or porting the animation tables rather than creating entirely new ones. This could save development time while still expanding RP expression. Why this would help: Right now most interactions are just characters standing still during conversations. More available animations would allow players to show emotion, status, and intent through body language instead of only text. This would especially benefit: Mafia meetings. Police investigations. Business RP. Interrogations. Street interactions. This could allow Diverge to quickly expand RP immersion without major development overhead. The goal wouldn't be feature bloat, just giving players more tools to visually roleplay and make interactions feel more alive. Please give your thoughts on the matter below, your opinion is valued and appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, Once upon a time we removed the ability for properties to have food registers, in place of that we set up Shipment NPCs where people could order in food items (in bulk obviously), and then transport them to the property, and store them for selling to people. At the time, this was somewhat unpopular due to a few issues. Such as: - Storage entities were frequently being wiped, which would mean people would spend many hours organizing stock and arranging deliveries, just for it to be wasted. This is no longer an issue as storages permanently persist. - Having to have millions of storage lockers to store them in, making it difficult to effectively organize. - Lazyness. But this is a task that should be delegated to lower ranking members. - The old shipment system had dogshit configuration, so you couldn't order multiple at once. - Whatever else, it was years ago I don't remember. So we eventually reintroduced property vendors, but with a limit of 15 items. Today, I was reminded that we once had this system. Thinking about it, I realize that its reintroduction would come with many benefits, such as. - Not having to rely on me or Canadian to get on and change vendors when you want something changed. Which is a lengthy process, getting approval from FL, making the UA ticket then waiting for us to change it. - Being able to sell a wide range of food and drink items, instead of being limited to 15 pre-selected options. - Boost of available roleplay - new hires can be assigned as delivery boys, restaurants will have to organize their stock and have dedicated people managing it, ensuring supplies stay available, and much much more. We would make the following changes with this: - We would create a new type of storage item, that has a much larger inventory space, but in return it would only be able to store food items. Thus resolving the issue of having to have 100 storage items. - We would update the Shipment NPC UI to have organized categories so it isn't all cluttered together (like it is now). There would be tabs, nice and organized. - Shipment timing for food would also NOT be the same as drugs/guns. They would spawn immediately for collection. So I wanted to see what you all think - would this be something you'd like to see? I cannot see any real downsides to this, other than lazyness / not wanting to RP. But maybe there are some - so by all means let me know if there are. Or perhaps there are other things that would need to be done alongside what I have proposed. Either way, please let me know your thoughts.

(Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Yes I understand Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands: no but im willing to Learn them Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff: yes ------------------------------------------------- What is your motivation/reason for applying?: There are always individuals who require assistance during night time. It is hard to know that I cannot assist them when they need me. thought there are people who may be in need of assistance but there are no available staff makes me realize how important it is to have staff members on duty at all times. That is why I would like to become part of the staff team. I want to be someone, who the community can turn to in hours when assistance is required. Being a staff member does not just mean answering the questions. It means being responsible, patient and honest. The most important aspect of being a staff member is to create a positive atmosphere for the server. I will try to do this through being attentive and assist the needs of the community and being polite to each other. I will do everything possible in order to assist players. Even in situations when it turns out to be really difficult moment, I will remain calm and try to solve all the problems in the best way to benefit the community.

(Please list where, what position and how long): I have no previous experience of staff Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why: I was banned twice one for mass raiding for a week My other ban was for cop baiting no intent to role play when I first started the server and looking back then I was just minging. I have straightened my act out I try not to get into any trouble with staff but I occasionally have my run in with I've had no other bans except the ones I've listed I know I have a decent amount of notes But those notes don't define who I am Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you: I'm fairly well known within the community. I know not everyone will think the same about me. Some people like me while others may not That is okay. What matters most to me is treating everyone with the upmost respect. I want to stay fair of peoples personal differences or opinions, about each other. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far: My favorite moment ever on Diverge was my very first Racket event Being able to PVP around the city shooting my target It gives a thrill it gets your heart pumping Being able to protect my Don Made me feel part of something bigger And there has been many times I've just gone to a restaurant doing the proper /me For eating and drinking something Other examples of me being a clothing salesman and a enforcer / Bodyguard I also have had a lot of fun with GM events I have participated in that are PVP or RP based Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Yugi, Dong, Toast, Nubs, Lunar, 21schmekless Alfie, ------------------------------------------------- Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I would get on my staff character I would then get their Steam ID pull them to a sit Check how many hours they have if they are fairly newer with only a couple hours I would tell them to go read the rules and give them a note or verbal but If they have more than a couple of days and they know what they are doing Then I would note them But if they have prior RDM notes or bans Then I would ban them for the according amount of time of what they did 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 take clips of them doing these actions I would make a UA ticket to report them or send it To Canadian or Pendred 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 not take the ticket because of bias Which can get me in trouble and that person that made the ticket which is my friend in trouble as well I would contact another staff member and ask them if they can take the ticket but if I was the only staff member on I would take the ticket get both sides get clips check damage logs and get a second opinion from a staff member higher or the same rank as me That's how I would handle the situation ---------------------------------------------------------

Your Character or Steam Name: masteranarchy7 Your SteamID 76561198954368020 Your Discord ID#: bobbytheman0741 Reason for ban: MRDM| LTAP Length of ban: permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): I want to first apologize for the inconvenience. I had given my little brother this computer to get school work done and he started going through my files and started to play Garry’s mod. Long story short I am banned from a lot of servers for the same issues. Now that I have my computer back I’m just finding this out. I really enjoyed playing on your server. So much fun and great realism. I want to apologize for any problems and issues you guys had to deal with. I wish you can make an exception to the permanent ban as he is no longer using my account. I understand I am responsible for my account and all that happens. Why should you be unbanned? Because I will not allow anyone to use my account and not do the same behavior. I simply wish to add to the enjoyment we are all trying to have. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): please let me know if there is anything I can do to help in this matter.

Ban Appeal - matt^ Character or Steam Name: matt^ SteamID: 76561198141191082 Discord ID#: therealboogieboy Reason for ban: Metagaming/Ban Evasion Length of ban: 24hrs/perma Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Firstly, I'd like to begin my reason for appeal by apologizing for my actions that have caused this ban. I understand that my initial ban was due to metagaming. I have reconciled and now have grown more knowledge on how to create a positive roleplay environment within the server. My actions affected both the community and staff. Secondly, the ban on evasion. I joined on my alt account, already thinking my ban was up. I wanted to begin on a new account to close the chapter on everything that had happened previously. I made a mistake thinking my ban was up an hour before it actually was. I can assure you that this mistake won't happen again, as I will not put myself in a situation for that to occur. If I am given another chance, I will make sure to adhere to and also educate others on the server rules if I see others making infractions. I have really enjoyed my time on this server. This community has been an outlet for new friendships and memories. If I do receive another chance, I will prove my ability to contribute to a positive environment. Why should you be unbanned?: I believe that I should be unbanned due to the time I have dedicated to reflecting on my actions, as well as my time understanding the rules further. I understand that both of the reasons I was banned have a negative impact on the experience of others. My actions undermined the rules of this server. My regret is immense as I understand the effects my actions have caused others. I’m not pursuing this ban appeal without reason. I ask for your forgiveness because I have now committed myself to changing my behavior. If allowed back, I will make sure to follow all rules as well as respect staff decisions. I do understand that trust has to be earned, and I am very willing to prove myself to everyone that I can do better. I have really enjoyed being a part of this community, and I would appreciate the opportunity to re-integrate into the server and show my peers that this was a one-time mistake.

Unleash the horde

This would allow us to check our activity, know the exact # of people on our whitelist, and unwhitelist people without staff. Allowing the FL to go through and unwhitelist people who haven’t played in many months would also cut down on old players coming back to abuse rackets. Most factions (unless you have someone frequently clean your WL) have 500+ people on their whitelist. I personally know that I have people from 2024 still on my whitelist.

Normally shipments are purchased and spawn at random locations across the map. We should have the ability to have shipments delivered to preset locations for a price. And/or have the ability to use the in-game phones to order shipments from npcs. Besides P2P trades, the phones aren't used much from what I've seen.
