Rather than enforcing FearRP through strict mechanics, another approach could be adding passive stress prompts that gently encourage more realistic character reactions without actually forcing players to act a certain way. The idea would be simple: small immersive text appearing after intense situations to help players naturally carry their character’s emotional state forward instead of just moving on like nothing happened. Example Prompts: After a gunfight: "Your hands are still shaking from the adrenaline." After being arrested: "Your heart hasn't quite slowed down from what just happened." After being badly injured: "A sharp pain hits your side whenever you move too quickly." After witnessing violence: "What you just saw keeps replaying in your mind." This wouldn’t force actions, apply debuffs, or take away player freedom in any way. The goal would simply be to provide small reminders that help encourage more believable reactions and maintain emotional continuity during roleplay. Why this could improve RP: A system like this could naturally encourage stronger roleplay habits instead of relying purely on rules or staff intervention. It could also help newer players understand reaction-based RP by subtly showing how characters might realistically respond to stressful situations. Features like this can add a layer of psychological realism while still keeping the experience enjoyable and player-driven. The focus would be immersion, not control. Possible implementation: This could be triggered through simple checks like recently taking heavy damage, being arrested, being near violent activity, or dropping to low health. A cooldown system could also prevent messages from appearing too often so they stay immersive instead of feeling repetitive or intrusive. Overall, the idea would be to enhance atmosphere and roleplay depth without restricting how players choose to play their characters.. I think it would personally be a good addition. Thank you for reading, as always please provide your input and opinions below, as they are valued.

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.

He's been involved with Taka for way more than a week IC/OOC and I've observed plenty of good roleplay from him, I'm pretty sure it was me who hired him. Mugging only becomes an issue when the (((wrong person))) gets mugged, has a baby bitch fit and cries to the admins. If you're mugging people everyday then there would definitely be an issue, however there are many factors for one to avoid being mugged and if it happens to someone, it's on them. I've been mugged before and haven't let my guard down since, it hasn't happened to me again and never will (no I will not knock on wood). If people have a problem with mugging maybe they should go play minecraft and don't grind 10 hours a day for a million dollar suit or spend $100 on a custom item and expect NotHinG BaD To EveR HaPPen tO MeEEeee, or don't ever talk shit to anyone IC and get mugged for it and then cry because you weren't the one who ran you mouth off, "I'm just a poor wittle victim Mr. Admin".

+1 maybe you can reduce stress by beating off wouldnt work near police tho

It does help being given passive direction. Overall I see no harm in this and furthers add to the immersion and would simply be an optional experience for those who would like to do that. +1

In-Game Name(s): - Tony Vallone - Andy "Grim" Ryder -DeMarcus "Jamal" Blackson -Officer Marco Grimes • Steam Name: secret • Steam Profile Link: Profile Link • Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:439522528 • Discord Username: xsfqn • Age: 20 • When did you first join the server: 25 August 2024 • Total playtime on our Servers: 850 hours (1M, 4D, 21H) • Time Zone: GMT +3 • How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: I think i can comfortably dedicate 20–30 hours a week • 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?: Yes • Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: No, but I’m open to learning them if needed. • 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?: * I’ve been roleplaying on the server for over 1.5 years and really enjoy being part of the community. Over time I got curious about how things work behind the scenes and how staff handle everything. That curiosity drives me, and I also like helping other players whenever I can, which is why I decided to apply + To be honest, after losing my two main characters with a total of 750 hours, I kinda lost my drive to roleplay. But I feel like becoming staff could give me a new responsibility and hobby, and that’s my biggest motivation for applying. • Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I believe two things set me apart. First is my Time Zone and availability, Im based in Europe, so late nights and early mornings on the server are normal hours for me. During these times, when staff presence is limited, I can step in to help players and support the community, which I think gives me an edge over other candidates. • Do you have any previous staffing experience?: Back in 2016 and 2017, during the DarkRP era, I played on a lot of European servers and even got the chance to be a long term staff member. However, compared to Diverge, I’ve never held a staff role on a big server or any platform worth mentioning before. • Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, I have been banned before. The first time was when I had just joined the server and killed someone who was trying to mug me. I didn’t use Medal or a similar tool to prove it, so I couldn’t defend myself and was banned for RDM and lying to staff. Later, in 2025, I made one of my biggest mistakes by joining an RP with people I didn’t know, which got me a 3-week ban. After that, I read and memorized all the rules, and I went a whole year without any bans. Recently, after losing my 500 hour and 250 hour characters, I mugged someone with my last remaining character. Staff considered it insufficient RP for my account and counted it as a mugging character, which led to my third and final ban. I want to add that I have learned the necessary and valuable lessons from my mistakes, and these bans have made me a more skilled and knowledgeable player. You can be confident that these mistakes will not be repeated, and if you give me a chance, I promise to put in the effort to prove that to you. • 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 I’m pretty well known in the community. Over the years, I’ve been part of a bunch of different families and made a lot of friends, but also some people who don’t really like me or aren’t happy about my presence. Some players genuinely like me, some don’t, and I’ve always treated people the way they approached me. I also want to make it clear that what others think or say about me doesn’t affect the choices I make or the way I act. • What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: 1 - The Racket event of ’89, which was intense and chaotic, really memorable RP. 2 - Becoming a Made Man in the French Mob, an amazing milestone that made me feel more connected to the community. 3 - The Racket event of ’90, another high energy experience that kept me on my toes and gave me some of the best RP moments. • Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Winchester, Hammer, vel0city and GALAXY ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I know that Diverge staff don’t like when active admins interfere in scenarios they’re part of, so if I’m off-duty I’d handle it like any other player: I’d record a clip, submit a ticket, and wait. If the player is doing something like MRDM or MVDM that’s ruining other players’ experience and there’s no other active staff, I’d step in myself. Otherwise, I’d submit a ticket or report it through the forum’s player report section if needed. • 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 gather all necessary information about the rule being broken and collect proof, like clips and screenshots. Then, if needed, I’d report the situation to the upper administrators (UA) and submit a report through the Staff Report section. • 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 think the most important thing for a staff member is not letting personal feelings affect their decisions. Whether it’s a friend or someone you don’t like shouldn’t matter. I’d look at the situation, treat every player fairly, and make sure the right action is taken no matter who it is. Additional Note: I am aware that I have had conflicts with several members on the server in the past, and I acknowledge that my mistakes and issues may inevitably influence this application. However, I want to assure everyone that if I am given a chance, I will make the most of it and contribute to the server to the best of my ability. Furthermore, I genuinely value all feedback from the community. Whether positive or critical, I see it as an opportunity to learn, improve, and act fairly. I am committed to listening carefully and taking all perspectives into account to foster a supportive and professional environment.

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

+1 Would be great addition

yeah "WE" are good. -1

Andy is a very active player and does bring positive interactions time to time. Although, I do not believe he is level-headed enough to treat all cases he takes as staff completely fairly. He is a very hot-headed person sometimes, and it can be put on full-display if someone attacks his nationality. He can also have a bias towards other Turkish players. For now, it is a -1 but everything is subject to change so if he made a future staff application, I may have a differing opinion. Goodluck on your application.

If you have to type in turkish then translate it onto a staff app whats to say you're not just gonna google translate every convo in game? -1 -rep Turkish 'nough said

Sorry, but you've caused enough issues. You clearly struggle to understand the rules of the server and frequently break them not to mention, you frequently come off as quite confrontational and incompetent. I've never had a good experience with you as well as many others. You also can't take feedback very well from what I have seen. And honestly, I really don't think you would be a great fit. As Shmekles said you are a very bias driven person, you would probably end up siding with someone just because they're Turkish. Best of luck to you and I wish you the best man. Unfortunately, -1

-1 Throughout the time I have known you, you've consistently demonstrated an insane level of immaturity. You would always get upset when you didn't get your way, you would try to abuse the fact that you were made to try to get information that you weren't supposed to have, which would then circle back to what I first said, as well as cause conflicts with a bunch of people in game. I could continue that list forever, but then it would stretch a little too long. You have a bad habit of pushing your luck, and that's where I believe, if you were to get staff at this moment, you would take advantage of that fact, and it would make the staff team look bad. You also just finished serving a mugging char ban, where you also, around 6 months ago, got off a metagame ban. Yes, there is a lot of time between the two of these bans, but it's recent enough to be brought into the conversation. I believe if you truly think you deserve a staff, I would personally recommend going 6 months without causing issues in-game with any faction or person. At this time, truthfully, I do not believe you are capable of handling the information and power of being staff. With all that being said, in the end, my word is taken with a grain of salt. Best of luck with your application.

Outside of the drama you stirred with me personally, I have seen you acting unstable within sits, unable to remove bias within sits. Often your initial response is to begin hurling insults and slurs at someone when a decision doesn't go your way. Being honest at one point I thought you had mental issues from the way you were acting. Biased response to this: -10 Unbiased response: -1 maybe show growth via normal interactions on the server rather than proving growth through staff.

I definetely dont have an issue open for anims. I do. But making them is annoying afaik. One day!

Causes too many problems on the server, not a friendly or likeable person. LQP for sure. -1

No hate on our past together, not replying to be demeaning in any way but to be honest I really don’t think your at point in ur diverge playtime to be considered for staff, your understanding of the rules is all over the place and I’ve witnessed you on multiple occasions starting conflict over the littlest insults towards yourself along with just being a bias driven person in general, anyways good luck -1

In-Game Name(s): Luca Vintaloro, Senior Officer Sebastian Garcia, Arturo Bonanno and Ryan Goystein Steam Name: Bullets Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Jitq/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:746698861 Discord Username: “ibullets.” Age: 17 When did you first join the server: June 2nd, 2024 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 3 months 4 weeks Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 12+ hours a week Have you read the rules?: Of course 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?: All too well Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: I do. ------------------------------------------------- What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * I am applying for multiple reasons, one being Gamemaster. Since I've started playing the server I've basically always wanted to host and create GM events to create more things to do on the server for the community. As of recent I've noticed UA has been looking to make GM events more motivated to keep GM events fun RP wise and I believe if given the opportunity I would excel greatly within the position of Gamemaster. My other reason is again community based, I want people on the server to actually have fun and not have any poor experiences with staff this might be biased but I believe in my past I was a good unbiased member of staff, yes I wasn't perfect at points but I tried my best to provide the best experience possible. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I think I should be considered for a plethora of reasons I can list a few, I was previously staff for 8+ months and hit quota nearly every week, I missed it twice I believe. I got too much playtime on the server and can help out with nearly every issue a player would have. I will and HAVE banned my friends if they're acting like retards and breaking the rules, check Mards' bans for proof of this. In the sit room I hold 0 bias so you wont have to worry of any issues arising from accepting me. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I was staff on some shit bag DarkRP server years ago and staff on here from 2024-2025 Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: NITRP | Mass VDM | LTAP - I was brand new to the server and was being a retard. RDM (POs x1) - I was messing around and RDM'd a kind hearted girl Metagame - Genuinely bullshit I didn't do anything, I was accused of metagaming that a Kosher Nostra member was in jail but I was literally just pissing about swapping characters and it was wrong place wrong time. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * People have mixed opinions about me, I hold no grudges. I'm a lover not a fighter... What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: This GM event: CLIP Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: N/A ------------------------------------------------- Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I would notify the other staff online in @ chat about the incident in case of any MRDM, but in most situations, I wouldn't deal with it personally, unless this player is obviously just going around killing people for no reason. 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 let the Senior Admin+ know about the abuse with clips for proof of 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?: I would deal with the sit as I would normally if they have recent notes about the same thing I would ban them, if they didn't have recent notes or no notes at all I would just give them a note. If I punished him differently (not noting/banning them for example) then if I didn't know him that would be completely biased. I would also call for a different staff if the reporting player wants a different one because of suspicion of bias.

would be 10x better if people actually went out and roleplayed it themselves instead of being automatically!

This would go hard after an erp session, “you would remain bricked up thinking about the night before”

+1 Active during low staff hours. Decent playtime (852 hours in 1 year 6 months). I have only had positive interactions from my experiences with him. 2 and a half weeks since last ban Based on my interactions with him I see potential for him to be a decent addition to the staff team. It would also be nice to have someone on during those downtime hours (There was no staff on for the past 2 hours when writing this). Andy, If this application get's denied I encourage you to stay out of trouble and reapply in the future.

+1 Andy is a pretty chill guy and is very active

Can I get a cuck animation so I watch watch someone get fucked

-1 sorry top CI

dude legit threatens to target mug anyone who pisses him off and has just got of a long ban -1

+1 everyone that -1'd the application is mad that andy is better then them

Let's be honest. What do we all want in a staff member, and does Andy possess these traits?; Is he active? Is he well-known Is he emotionally aware of others? Is he impartial? Does he speak fluent English? Is he submissive Does he have a deep understanding of the rules? WILL HE TAKE OUR TICKETS? I am indifferent about this, seeing that I highly weigh both activity and impartial staffing, do with the above information as you please.

The andy is not getting the staff the dudeman -1

While I believe everyone should have a chance, sometimes it’s good to not give the benefit of the doubt, and in this case, Andy. Like us all, Andy is also human, and understands social cues and intercations to a certain extent. Staff are people who understand what it truly means to be for the people, speak for them and carefully dissect the issue, for everyone to come to an agreement. I cannot see Andy properly discussing with someone their mistakes, nor can I properly see Andy actually benefit the community as a whole. I apologize, but -1. Have a blessed day to all!

yeah that wasnt a question, it was a statement, maybe you need to use ChatGPT to confirm the context of the original comment - Average turk

I’d eat the fish, snort the coke and stash the head, gotta add to the collection.

Do you think this might have been the result of him not having his active status removed after he was put through witness security? This happened to me and it was reversed immediately. Changing name and face out of public record is supposed to also have your active status revoked until they're able to prove it.

That could very well be a good alternative to my original suggestion. What I’m suggesting would apply to everyone. Even if you are PK’ing an associate or an intern, the person doing it should still be taking some risk themselves. As an enforcer or senior member, it shouldn’t just be outsourced to a random player who mainly plays a different faction, logs on to kill someone, and then immediately switches back to their main character.

-1 this mafia roleplay not cult roleplay tldr

under normal circumstances i don’t respond to anyone’s messages, and I have respect for everyone’s opinions. However i want to clarify that I didn’t answer the questions using ChatGPT or Translator. I first wrote them in my own language and then used ChatGPT to check for grammar mistakes and fix them, so the answer to your question is no, I won’t.

Never lose your hope. When someone insults your race, no normal human being just stays silent, no matter who they’re facing. Trying to silence Andy just because the people you’re up against are supposedly “tougher” than your own family is nothing but weakness. Putting aside all that nonsense about “they’re our allies,” you gave Andy every shitty job there was whenever things got messy or when you were too scared to die, and despite that, he still did everything he could to prove himself. Yeah, Andy might be a bit hot-headed, but his real mistake was dedicating himself to a family that didn’t deserve the effort he put in. That’s all I have to say. And I’m Marco, Andy’s older brother. If I were staff, I’d probably get banned too anyway. Looks like it’s already rejected, so before the post gets closed, I’m dropping a +1
