In-Game Names: Taro "Mr. Red" Sugimoto, Public Defender Uros Vasic, Officer Nashoba C. Redfox Steam Name: Auxiliary Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198885641617/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:462687944 Discord Username: auxiliarypaper Age: 16 When did you first join the server: A little over a year ago. Total Playtime on the Server: 3w 3d 11h 50m Timezone: Eastern Standard Time (EST+0) How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 15-20+ hours every week. Have you read the rules?: I have. Do you have a working microphone?: I do, and I am willing to use it. Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA): I do. Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: I am. 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?: My main motivation for applying is stemmed from my previous experience of being staff on Diverge Networks. After leaving Diverge Networks for a month or two and now having been back for a little while, I've realized that I miss a lot of the responsibilities of being a staff member. From being on the staff team, I amassed a lot of knowledge of the server rules including some of the more niche/unwritten-though-enforced rules of Diverge that I can't really put to use since I'm not staff. Not only knowledge of the rules, but I greatly enjoyed the community interactions I had as a staff member that I see current staff members having, both through gamemaster events and standard enforcement of server rules. One of the stand-out features of being a staff member that I miss was dissecting the more general/vague parts of the rules and having debates in Staff Sits. The intricacy of the Diverge server rules is something that is outmatched on any other Garry's Mod server (that I've seen/read). Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I think some of my qualities that would put me above other candidates would be my knowledge of the server rules and experience as a staff member. From being staff on Diverge Networks, I have gained both knowledge and understanding of the server rules, both written and unwritten. Comparatively, to a candidate who has a lesser understanding of the rules, I would be able to handle situations more efficiently and with more accuracy in regards to my judgement. Secondly, to my experience as a staff member, I have both an understanding and a habit of handling situations involving staff members in a certain manner. Admittedly, being staff on Diverge Networks means that someone who think that you have wronged them by enforcing the rules aren't often able to listen to reason and often hurl insults and profanities when you inform them of a punishment or that they did something wrong. Having both experienced and navigated that aspect of being a staff member, I would be able to handle situations with a more calm demeanor & level head than a person who was inexperienced with staff interactions, leading to a more positive experience on both sides. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I have had several different experiences as staff on roleplay servers across the last ~5-ish years, but my most recent and relevant instance was as a Senior Moderator on Prometheus Networks for 7-8 months & being a Moderator on Diverge Networks for 3-4 months. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have never been banned on Diverge Networks. 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 that I am decently well-known throughout Diverge, though I am most definitely not the most known. From the people I do know, I believe I have a good reputation. I am unaware of anybody that I have a poor relationship with. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: I have a hard time picking out a specific moment on Diverge that is my "favorite moment", though I can say without a doubt one of my favorite experiences was the Valentine's Day Racket War a few months ago. Both the PvP coupled with strategy & playing with friends was a lot of fun and very rewarding when my faction was moved up in our racket. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: None to my knowledge. ================================================================================================================================= Someone RDM's and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I would start off by clipping the incident with Medal to have proof of the actual RDM. After I have situated the clip and trimmed it accordingly to highlight the incident that needs reporting, I would contact a fellow member of staff, showing them the clip I had gotten as evidence and ask them for a Staff Sit with myself, the staff, and the person who RDM'd me. I would ensure that I personally did not handle the situation myself to avoid any potential bias on my part, along with a proper explanation from a third party that was not involved in the incident in the case of any refreshers of server rules or, if warranted, any punitive action being taken. 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 ensure every time I witnessed the abuse happen, I would gather appropriate proof of the incident (screenshots, clips, audio recordings, etc.). After witnessing the abuse occur, I would attempt to message them and ask what provoked these actions and what led them to abuse. After trying to gather more information, I would let them know/remind them that their actions would be considered abuse. If the member of staff genuinely seemed ignorant to the fact that their actions were abusive, I may hold off on reporting. Otherwise, if the staff member did not seem remorseful and seemed like they knew it was abuse already, I would show the evidence I collected to a member of staff higher than the individual, most likely a member of Upper Administration. I would continually record the evidence and submit it every time I witnessed it, repeating the process. 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?: Once I receive the ticket, I would start off as I usually would do with gathering the evidence and collecting each side's story of the situation. Considering that I would personally know this person in this situation, I would want to avoid any bias decisions or any accusations of being biased. To do this, I would contact another member of staff to get their opinion on the situation and get confirmation as to whether or not he/she thinks the claims are valid enough for punitive action. Once I've gotten a second opinion from another member of staff, I would either pass the situation off to them entirely, or proceed with punishment or lack thereof depending on the opinion given by the other member of staff. Thank you very much for your consideration of my application!9 points

Name of Character: James "Noir" McGriff Character ID: 201518 SteamID: STEAM_0:1:439522528 Your Discord ID#: xsfqn Date of PK: 05.07.2026 Reason for PK: VCWP Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: The officer had no valid reason to arrest me in the first place and the cop who shot me wasn't even in uniform. He was wearing plain clothes while acting as a patrol officer. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: I was accused of burning a dead body, even though I wasn't the person who did it (This can be verified through the server logs) Because of that false accusation, I attempted to shoot the officer who was trying to arrest me. During the situation, Sergeant Hamida Abdullah shot me with an event weapon (a Musket) while wearing plain clothes and without being in uniform as a patrol Officer. Afterwards Monaclu switched to his staff character, took the ticket himself, and personally PK'd my character. I'm not trying to make this into a staff report, but the fact that I was shot by a police character who wasn't in uniform while using an event weapon, and then had the same person switch to their staff character and PK me, doesn't sit right with me. I'll leave it up to the UA team to decide whether that was handled appropriately.5 points
-
Yes, I didn't mean that I wasn't involved in the situation. What I meant was that I wasn't the person who burned the dead body. You saw me while I was attempting the PK yourself. You told me you were busy and didn't interfere. Instead, you directed another Senior Officer to my location over the radio (it's clear from the clip that you were communicating over the radio). Then while that officer was trying to arrest me you came back and killed me First you leave an incident that you personally witnessed. Then about five minutes later you return wearing only a white shirt kill me switch to your staff character personally PK my character and even send an event message afterward. If the UA would like to see it I'm happy to provide my own clip. In the footage you can clearly be heard saying that you weren't going to deal with me before leaving the scene. Yet about five minutes later while not even wearing a proper police uniform you directed a Senior Officer to deal with me then returned yourself and killed me which ultimately led to my PK. Is that really an appropriate or ethical way to handle the situation?3 points

In-Game Name(s): Judge carbon mason, Marlowe "Ling Long" Asukara, Frankie "Ding Dong" Howards, Gustav "Milko" Broomrach, Marcus Charles Steam Name: TroubledGhost Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Troubledd/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:90789839 Discord Username: rufie. Age: 28 When did you first join the server: Winter 2023? Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 5m 4d 12h 39m Time Zone: GMT/BST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: weekdays about 2-4 hours; weekend significantly longer. Have you read the rules?: Yes Do you have a working microphone?: Yes Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Yes Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: no willing to learn 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?: *My motivation in applying is to be apart of the staffing community to take a more responsible position within the community and help in safeguarding the city, teaching people and be more involved from a staffing point of view. In addition I am hoping through staffing to end up as a GM to facilitate events and provide service to the community this way too. In addition, I believe having such a responsible role will help me further develop translational skills and help in giving back to the community who have mostly been loving, patient and accepting of me. I enjoy my time on diverge and hope others enjoy my presence. I spent a lot of time in the server and community consistently for the past few years and want to start a new chapter here to help out and give back. I am also applying to ask for an opportunity and chance to prove myself to the community and seniors that I can be entrusted with such responsibilities and be just. Lastly, I want to collaborate with other staff members and be apart of the team that fulfils it's duty and service to the community. If i didnt take this server or gamemode seriously, I would not be here right now writing this application or, heck, be apart of this community at this very moment. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: *I would say I am more mature person and have developed a rapport with significant amount of active people throughout the server, I enjoy spending time with players and hopefully it's the same with them. In addition, I've experience all over the city whether it's being a senior figure in law, policing or criminal factions all the way to being a homeless bum. I would say I am more just and know what's wrong when it is wrong, allowing me to be a dependable, accountable and responsible person - especially knowing when I stepped over a line and am okay to take that punishment or enforce it on others [i.e conflicts between people IC]. I believe I'm good at approaching different types of people which would fair well in this role as you'd deal with many people [serious people, real minges who dont give a crap about their actions, timid people who aren't sure or clear as to what they want etc]. I am someone who can be diplomatic in their approach to a situation or, when needed, assertively. Knowing where the lines are, I can be effective at my job whilst being fair and able to explain my self and actions; ensuring I wouldn't overstep my remit in my position as staff. I believe i'd work well with other staff members, being open to improving myself and taking suggestions [as people would have seen given my past record and how I apply it]. Spending quite a while as a judge, in a role which you CANNOT be corrupt whatsoever, I have sentence many friends away behind bars and given them criminal records; I aim to be as unbiased as possible, especially with an integral position of power. The same applies to the latter when putting someone who openly dislikes me behind bars/convicting, they are treated fairly regardless of their views of me etc. Fairness and justice are essential. As someone who in the past broke a lot of rules, I would say I have a good understanding of them - allowing me to be in this city after being given (many) chances after having learned to follow them and abide. Most importantly, I'm someone willing to learn and improve, having improved many relations with players across the server and my LARPing skills etc. I also have staffing experience, so I believe I can hit the ground running and have a good foundation to develop on further to meet the needs of the staff team and the community. Lastly I believe I can join the team and be a good and approachable team player. I take this more seriously than people would mind to think. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I do, I used to staff on various Minecraft servers (which LONG have shut down back in the 2010s, having roles of Moderation, admin to head admin), owning one at one point. I was also community manager for Lockdown SCP:SL RP. As well as old GMOD which have also closed down a while ago: LuckyDucky servers - Mod ; My own DarkRP server - Owner and im sure others I cannot remember. Aside from SCP:SL i havent staffed since the mid 2010s. But for the interest of this question and confirming names, let's say I just have community manager experience for Lockdown SCP:SL - having about a year in that position before moving on and owning a GMOD server back in the day. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, many a times. To which I would like to thank the community in giving me chances after chances to change, and hopefully you have seen and felt it. My experience within the community has significantly improved and through these bans I've learnt to appreciate the community, the people within and the fun to be had on the server. Most of my bans were RDM related. With the occasional trickle of other stuff like mic spam etc, last one being powergaming in janurary [couldn't disprove as i didnt clip my view to exhonorate me.. took it on the chin]. 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 am well known with a positive reputation. Whilst some would still despise me for being a minge/king minge; I will say in recent times of many months to a year, many have turned a new page with me and I would like to say it is going very positive in terms of their experience. You cant please everyone or make them like you, but I will say majority of the plays hopefully view me positively as i'm someone who makes RP happen spontaneously, have fun and do crazy stuff whilst also have engaging conversations. Sure I can be annoying to some at times, but eh... who isnt at times! What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Last time I posted a clip of my char being in a weird pose when toast took my ticket... so this time... I call it.. the magic teleporter [from the time the world was being DDOS'd]: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/lLKdWKvw0eEN4gNOC?invite=cr-MSwyMmUsMTk2MzAwODIx&v=10 Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Psykho ------------------------------------------------- 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?: Leave it to the other staff members who are on duty, whilst communicating with them If they got it or if they need help. If they are unable to, I would complete whatever RP situation I am in and find an appropriate time to switch to take the ticket and respond to it. 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?: Collect evidence and Let a more senior staff be made aware via staff report ticket/discord etc. (Though if it's UA.. then I'd probably watch and laugh at what is transpiring unto the poor souls.) 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?: There is definite possible bias. I would let other staff members handle it / deal with the ticket with me not being involved in any way shape or form, unless strictly necessary . If other staff staff are unable to deal with it. I would deal with it in an unbiased manner and enforce the rules upon them with bans, notes etc regardless if they're friends or not. Have to be fair and just in upholding the rules regardless. Allow me the opportunity and let me prove to y'all I got this. Looking for a chance. I wont waste it.1 point

If the knowledge of the RP(Akira messing with the body) was gained incorrectly(Sergeant in plainclothes, participating in an event) I think the PK should also be invalidated since the RP isn't valid. Seems to me that, since Monaclu was in plain clothes and participating in an event, he was off-duty. The fact that he stumbled upon Akira doing what he was doing doesn't give him the right to actively participate in the scene. You could go as far and argue that reporting the scene was already beyond what the rules allow, but directly participating while off duty is definitely against the rules and should invalidate the whole RP.1 point

Name of Character: Rocco Sacrimoni Character ID: 196230 (unsure but probably it) SteamID: 76561199864149296 Your Discord ID#: 298613226080305152 Date of PK: July 2nd 2026 Reason for PK: Supposed fearRP Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: "You may only kill the victim if they DO NOT comply with your demands. Victims that comply are to be left unharmed. Likewise you may only make realistic demands, this means you can’t demand something unrealistic that the victim cannot deliver in order to kill them. Give them a realistic amount of time to comply. Don't order them to do something then shoot them < 5 seconds later, they barely have time to comply." You can see in my clip that I was running along past the laundromat, I was first engaged by the muggers at about the 6 second mark, when I heard the muggers finish their first command during the 6 second mark, I stopped, trying to process the situation. They ordered me to come back, so at around the 9-10 second mark, you can see that I started walking towards them, complying. They then, for the exactly 4/4.5 second delay in my processing of their commands in this stressful situation, they shot me- while I was starting to comply. The server rules explicitly explain that "Don't order them to do something then shoot them < 5 seconds later, they barely have time to comply." The mugging that resulted in the death of my character, where I started to comply and was given barely even 5 seconds to process the situation does not align with this rule's understanding of how muggings should work. I was given too little time to comply, and at the moment of my death at the 10 second mark (~4 seconds from the end of the first verbal command), I was complying. "You may not mug in a public place, you can, however, pull a weapon on them and bring them to a secluded area to rob them (This can only be done when there is no one else around. EXAMPLE: The victim is alone at night in the middle of an empty street. You initiate a mugging with your firearm and take them to an alleyway so no one stumbles upon the crime. You may not perform the mugging in the street, which is a public area.)" The mugging was not performed in a secluded enough area. You can see in my clip that I was walking along the sidewalk adjacent to rockefeller, a fairly public place- and while if rockefeller is unoccupied it would be fair to mug in an empty street, there was literally a police car just down from the mugging watching it taking place, which you can see in my clip. My mugging was not done in private, was done in a location where someone "stumbles upon the crime" something that is explicitly disallowed as not a valid mugging location in the rules. You can see the police car in the 9ish second mark approaching from behind the pillar on the side of the road, and, after I was sent to the hospital, at the 15 second mark- you can hear "Lieutenant Danny Silvershine" calling out shots fired on the radio. You can also see people just down the street in view, in the same direction of the police car- who would be able to see the crime. In NO WAY was this a secluded incident, where the mugging was done in a "public place", and the only exception for mugging in such a location, where "no one else around" is observed to be true- is false. Ultimately, the mugging was not done in an appropriate location, and I was not given enough time to comply (which I was doing anyways when they shot me if you watch my clip closely). I was given less than 5 seconds to comply, which server rules specifies is not enough time, and the mugging was done too publicly for a PK to be issued. Server rules gives the victim of a mugging this buffer time to respond to avoid a needless death of a valued character, I was not given this time, nor was I afforded the consideration of an appropriate location for mugging RP, seeing as the location was fairly public, and nowhere near "secluded". If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/n1TnA2zTlFfgk2X6n?invite=cr-MSw0dmUsNDUxMjY4Mjc31 point

Hey, I was the staff member who accepted the PK. So in this situation you refused to follow fearRP as you didn't comply with their demands to follow them into the alleyway when they had 3 guns on you. You had turned around and acknowledged the man behind you pointing a gun at you and still decided it was the best decision to become a deer in headlights and stare at the man and not do anything at all. Now what is iffy is the police situation. During the sit I had requested the POV from Psykho but for whatever reason I received no response. From the clip I was provided it was completely valid because you were in a yellow zone and they were attempting to drag you into a red. If we're speaking realistically Psykho wouldn't have the vision he had whilst he was third person in the vehicle and if he was first person he would have low visibility of the situation. during the sit I attempted to cover all bases but with the evidence I was provided it ended up being a PK, I had also asked for a second opinion from a Senior Admin and they had also agreed it was a PK on your behalf for not complying. Good luck on the appeal but as of now I see it as a valid situation1 point

I was only aware of the initiation of the mugging at around 5-6 seconds into my clip, the timer for my compliance shouldn't start when you are aware of your intention to mug me separately from my own knowledge, but when I am aware of such. My window to comply at the start of my knowledge of the situation lasted ~4 seconds. You say the entire situation lasts 9-10 seconds, which may be true from your angle, but it is simply not true from my angle or my POV of the situation. My window to comply is from my perspective, not yours, and this must be taken into account. How am I supposed to comply with an initiation of a mugging I am unaware of? It doesn't matter that Danny Silvershine didn't know if it was a mugging or not, it matters that he was so close to it, he could both see and respond to the crime in a matter of seconds. "This can only be done when there is no one else around" (initiating a mugging), other people were around. You say that I claim the mugging took place in an invalid area generally, which is not true. Mugging is allowed where I was on the map, but my angle of approach on this point is that mugging is never allowed around uninvolved witnesses- regardless of whether or not it is in a red/yellow zone. You're missing my point, other people were around, period. You can even hear the sirens in my clip. You mention I was armed with a TEC-9 and could've used it/had an adequate window to try. You can see in my clip I never used the TEC-9 and even started to comply the moment I ended up being killed- obeying the command to "come back" by walking towards one of the muggers. To which I was shot. "You may only kill the victim if they DO NOT comply with your demands. Victims that comply are to be left unharmed." I complied, or at least tried to. I believe I have adequately addressed the issues in my mugging and resulting PK, I appreciate the response from you all so quickly, good luck maintaining your PK, but I genuinely believe you did a couple things wrong.1 point

I'll attach a link to the clip to better demonstrate what I observed. While the footage should provide a clearer view of the events, I was simultaneously managing multiple factors not visible on screen. As a result, I cannot definitively state exactly what escalated the situation in front of me. What I can confirm is that I observed a person being shot with a gun. I also saw another individual whom I do not know if they fired at the time- wearing a mask. That is all I can reliably state regarding the situation. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/n2s7l2MzyTBkt0Cgq?invite=cr-MSxVQncsNTAyMjEyNzg4&v=301 point

Afk for 2 weeks lol. You did not leave your PC on for 2 weeks without touching it, you saw you were pk'ed and instead of immediately appealing you waited. The point of the window of appeal is so you can't get pk'ed then attempt to appeal weeks or months later when the evidence may have been removed or deleted. So it's only expected that evidence is kept up to a week (though we ask for it to last longer if needed) Furthermore, to even have your appeal considered or to be shown the evidence for the PK you MUST follow and fill out the appeal format when posting. Which you have failed to do (twice). It is mandatory. You were pk'ed by your faction for "failing to pay dues." This is a don's orders pk. Like others in this thread have said the don of your faction can order your death at any time, as is the risk of being a criminal.1 point

I believe you are confusing this with staff punishment. Your character being PK’d is more or less an effect from your roleplay rather than staff punishment. Per the PK guidelines if you initiate a violent confrontation with officers you are subject to PK if you die. These guidelines are set in place to make sure your roleplay actions carry weight. Otherwise you could just shoot officers everytime they attempt to arrest you, effectively avoiding all charges While it is unfortunate you are unaware of this is something we don’t give second chances for, as it’s not staff punishment per se. I strongly recommend you read the guidelines surrounding PKs to familiarize yourself so you do not have to go through this again, or at least understand what could come from your actions.1 point

Hello, I'd like to point out a detail that nobody seems to have noticed. This PK should not be considered a valid PK. In the clips provided by both sides, I noticed something. While they were mugging him, Matador's friend can be heard saying, "Put your hands up F7" This can be clearly heard around the 10 second mark of the clip provided by the player who submitted the PK appeal. Additionally, as clearly stated in the Mugging Rules, Rule 10. specifically states that telling or indicating to a player to press F7 to raise their hands significantly disrupts RP standards. As a result, the mug is considered invalid and cannot be used as the basis for a PK. As clearly shown in the clip, while holding a player at gunpoint and applying FearRP because they refused to put their hands up, you tell them to press F7. At that point, you might as well tell them not to touch their mouse or keyboard during your next mug when I tried to point out to the genius admin handling the PK Bullets, that there was a clear rule violation here, the response i got was "People say F7 all the time" That is very unlikely to be true. I have watched many valid mugging and PK clips, and I have never heard a mugger say “F7” in any of them. In the end of this PK appeal, we will find out something important, do the rules written on the forum actually get enforced or do things depend on an admin’s personal decision about whether it should count as a PK or not?1 point

Hello, I am the admin that set you PK active as a result of your faction's leadership ordering a hit out on you. They said you had been bringing heat to the faction by baiting the police and messing with other factions. They apparently had a talk with you about this, and you failed to correct the behavior. When you get hired into any faction, you are shown this prompt: You understood the risks then, they are no different now. Good luck on your appeal.1 point

The escalation rules should be viewed as a shell and starting point, not a rigid checklist. UA looks at the full situation, all factions involved, and all relevant factors before making a determination, including faction size, recent hires, main character status, alt characters, and whether anyone is trying to gain an unfair advantage. The purpose of a lockdown / hire block is to prevent war jumping, temporary recruiting, and alt abuse. It also makes escalation uncomfortable for everyone involved, which should push factions toward a quicker resolution instead of letting the conflict drag out. If someone was actively maining a faction but never formally set it as their main, that is ultimately on the player and their faction leadership. If they were involved enough to be impacted by the escalation, they should have seen it coming and made sure their main was properly set. Leadership also has a responsibility to warn members before things reach that point. A lock can be adjusted or removed if UA believes the specific situation calls for it, but it should not be assumed. Unless UA clearly states otherwise, factions should treat the lockdown and main character requirements as active. In your case, you were scared because you thought Popov was going to PK you, so you left the faction to do hits for Supreme in another faction. Once you realized there was no orders you left the other faction and now are stuck as a civ. watching from the outside. If you want numbers.....at the start of the escalation Supreme had 140 alts(More than any other crim. faction) to Popov 30 alts, for mains there were 25 for Supreme and 13 for Popov...... this was taken into account during the main lock decision.1 point

"it's a handicap" isn't a valid excuse when you're an on duty police officer. You had plenty of time to change into your proper uniform, grab your assigned weapon from the PD locker, and investigate. You already knew i had picked up shell casings and that the body had been burned by somebody else. That alone was enough to pursue a warrant especially if CCTV existed. By that logic any officer could use any weapon they found simply because it was in their possession. That's not how police equipment works. Officers are expected to use department issued weapons, not whatever they happen to have. The biggest issue is that you were on duty without wearing the proper uniform?? If you wanted to participate in the event you could have gone off duty or switched to another character. Instead you tried to do both at once by acting as a police officer while participating in the event without a proper uniform as a Sergeant. You were a Sergeant dressed like an off duty officer while searching for a murder suspect giving callouts and using a police cruiser. If you were a detective it would be different but as a Sergeant that isn't realistic and if I'm not mistaken goes against NYPD standards. From a criminal's perspective, they're looking out for officers in uniform. If your goal was to blend in you could have simply gone off duty or used another character. The only reason the PK happened was because an on duty officer was conducting police activity without being properly dressed. The only impression this gives me is that you wanted to stay on your police character to participate in the event while still benefiting from spawning with police equipment and body armor. That's only my assumption but that's how it comes across0 points

I agree. We could bring great roleplay to the server again after so many years since the incident. It was the other guys that manufactured and ran the dupes. They just gave us the money. To be fair, I also offered to help patch the glitch after finding out what it was too. To just automatically and immediately deny the appeals from two people that brought quality RP to the server for so long is crazy after so much time has passed. You guys have overturned many perm bans for crazier things in the past.0 points

Hello!! This as already pointed out by Sigil, individuals who are being mugged do not have to comply with the orders "f7 put your hands up" or "hands up or die" and put their hands up. Besides that- OP was otherwise complying, he did not attempt to fight back and paired with being in shock and frozen in place; he was not moving or running away. The act of just shooting simply cause they don't put their hands up could otherwise be considered RDM. I'm disappointed, for someone who mugs a lot you sure aren't well versed in the smaller finer details! Matador please take sometime to regulate your temper rather than go on a spree to mug and pk people, this is not acceptable behavior on the server and we are disappointed with your conduct. You should know better. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.0 points

Honestly, not a fan of shit like this either. If it get enforced until fixed, though, then you might want to crack down on about nine thousand and one other rule breaks that people use to circumvent having to RP on the RP server every single day.0 points
