(Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Yes Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: No 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?: There has been a truck load of times where staff has been needed late night and there has been zero/AFK staff to take tickets, during the late hours the server is crawling with minges screwing with people and they need to wait in the morning to have anything done about it. I would like to help this out because I'm usually up during these hours where staff lay dormant when everybody is in need of one, I have been a very massive supporter of Diverge and would like to help out the community in another, larger way. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I'm 100% active, almost every day and on at critical hours where nobody can get a staff member. I have bulk knowledge about the servers inner-workings and rules as I have been involved so much with the server. I also would like to see a big change in the server so if I become staff I would also enjoy hosting GM events to alleviate the bordem. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Garnet Gaming, Moderator, 3 Months. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes I have, mostly stupid petty situations, RDM, LTARP, ECT when first starting out in the server, I was pretty mingy in my first month playing the server and didn't contribute anything. I believe I grown out of this phase completely and have been extremely active in trying to grow the community. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I am very well known in the community, some people despise me, a lot of people like me. I am extremely blunt, honest, and sometimes aggressive with everything I say or do. I think it's refreshing to have a personality type like that because it clashes so hard with other individuals on the server, I have a lot of love/hate relationships with a lot of people but nobody can call me dishonest. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: My favorite moment was/is growing my own faction inside of southside, it's been a stressful yet intense experience with all of the political climates and in-faction squabbles, I think it has actually aged me a few years mentally... I wouldn't trade it for much though because I see it as a minor achievement that I get to host a community within a community that has such radically different politics than what is common in the server. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Pendred, V1K1NG, HAMMER ------------------------------------------------- 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?: I would clip the situation and @ staff, in no way shape or form would I take my own tickets for situations that I am directly involved in. 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 clip the abuse to the best of my ability and send it directly to someone with a higher rank. 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 have another staff take the ticket to avoid any bias in its entirety, but if there is no other staff present then I would take the ticket and must treat them the same as I would any other person on the server, despite being my friend or faction member they would get no special treatment. I would ensure that there would be absolute zero bias. --------------------------------------------------------- Please understand that once a staff application is posted you are open to receiving either negative or positive critique from the community as well as staff. Your consistent activity on the server will also be monitored and applications can remain open for weeks before any sort of decision is made on them.

In-Game Name(s): Dante Barone, Giovanni Zella, Naya Solito, Rajveer "Freshie" Rathore Steam Name: Roronoa Zoro Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/voicecontrol/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:565673839 Discord Username: @swlvft Age: 23 When did you first join the server: January 7th, 2026 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2w 6d 6h 24m Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: I can realistically dedicate around 4-6 hours per day, and more on certain days depending on my schedule. 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, but I am willing to learn quickly. 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 think the main reason I’m applying just comes down to how much time I’ve actually put into Diverge. Since I joined on January 7th I’ve put over 500 hours into my main character, so I’m on pretty consistently and I’ve seen a lot of different situations play out. After a while it just feels like I should be doing more than just roleplaying and actually helping out on the staff side too. I’ve seen situations where staff handled things really well and it kept everything calm, and I’ve also seen situations go the opposite way and turn into OOC arguments. That’s probably the biggest reason I want to apply, because I’d rather be someone who helps keep things fair and under control instead of letting it get messy. I didn’t apply earlier because I didn’t want to rush into it without actually understanding how the server works. I wanted to spend time playing, see how rules are used in real situations, and get a better feel for the community first. At this point I feel like I have that, and I think I could be useful as staff. Why should you be considered over other candidates?:* I wouldn’t say I should be chosen over everyone else, but I do think I bring a good mix of experience and understanding of how the server works. I’ve spent a lot of time on Diverge across different situations, so I’ve seen how roleplay can go right and also how it can go wrong, which helps when it comes to understanding context instead of just looking at things at face value. I also take rules seriously, not just in a technical sense but in how they’re meant to be applied. A lot of situations aren’t just black and white, so being able to stay fair, look at both sides, and not let bias get in the way is something I think is important, and something I try to do. At the end of the day, I’d just try to handle things properly and consistently. I’m active, I understand the server, and I’d approach staff situations with a level head rather than jumping to conclusions or escalating things further. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Yes, I’ve had some moderation experience in other online communities. It wasn’t anything super formal, but I was dealing with reports, helping resolve issues between players, and making sure rules were followed. Even though it’s a different platform, it still taught me a lot about staying fair, not jumping to conclusions, and just handling situations calmly instead of letting things escalate. I wouldn’t say I’m super experienced, but I’m definitely not going into this completely blind either. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I haven’t been banned on any of your servers. 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 just from being active and involved in a lot of different situations around the server. I’ve interacted with a lot of different people and groups, so I’m not really stuck in one circle, which helped me get a better feel for the community overall. As for my reputation, I think most people see me as someone who takes roleplay seriously and doesn’t try to turn everything into an OOC issue. I usually try to keep things in character and handle situations properly instead of escalating them. I think that’s something that would carry over well into a staff position. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: One of my favorite moments was the recent racket event where different factions had to compete for packages and targets. It was super chaotic, but in a good way, and it felt like everyone was fully engaged in the RP. It stood out to me because it brought a lot of people together and created a lot of interaction across different groups instead of everyone just staying in their own lanes. Events like that are what make the server feel active and fun. I’d definitely like to help be part of something like that in the future, whether it’s assisting or helping host it. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Winchester, Crocie, Sips, Toasty ------------------------------------------------- Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: If I’m off-duty and I witness it, I’d clip or record what happened so there’s clear evidence. After that, I’d either make a ticket or let on-duty staff know so someone who’s currently handling sits can deal with it. If a ticket is already up, I’d send whatever evidence I have to the staff member handling it and explain what I saw. I wouldn’t take the sit myself since I was directly involved as a witness. If no staff are available at all, I’d go on-duty to make sure the situation doesn’t get ignored, but I’d still try to keep my involvement minimal and base everything on evidence and logs rather than just my own perspective. 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?: If I noticed something like that, I wouldn’t jump straight to accusing them. I’d pay attention first and make sure I actually have clear examples of what’s happening, whether that’s clips or anything that shows a pattern instead of just one situation. Once I’m sure there’s actually an issue, I’d bring it up privately to a higher staff member or upper administration and show them what I’ve got. I wouldn’t call it out publicly or try to handle it myself, since stuff like that should be dealt with properly and through the right people. At the end of the day, staff should be held to the same standard as everyone else. If there’s a pattern of abuse, it should be looked into, just in a calm and professional way. 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?: Yes, it does count as possible bias, so the first thing I’d do is avoid taking the sit if another staff member is available. I’d let someone else handle it so it stays completely fair for both sides. If I was the only staff online and had to deal with it, I’d ignore the fact that I know them and just go off evidence. I’d get both sides, check clips or logs, and treat it like any other ticket. Just because they don’t usually act like that doesn’t mean they couldn’t have broken a rule in that situation. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t let my relationship with them affect the outcome. If they broke a rule, they’d be punished the same as anyone else.

Name of Character: Eugene "The Law" Le'Cassier Character ID: 50773 SteamID: STEAM_1:0:138039649 Your Discord ID#: kyngholiday Date of PK: 03/31/26 Reason for PK: At the time of the incident, I believed I was being repeatedly targeted and followed by certain police officers, which led me to act irrationally. During a traffic stop for reckless driving, I was removed from my vehicle, which I interpreted as escalation toward arrest. In a lapse of judgment, I discharged my weapon at the officer, believing there were no additional witnesses or officers nearby. This assumption was incorrect, as there were people in the distance and present in the area. Why should you be unPK'd?: Yes, I did initiate a violent confrontation initially, so I understand being PK-active in that moment. However, the rules specifically emphasize that this applies “during” the confrontation, not after the situation has clearly ended. After the initial incident, I disengaged. I put my weapon away, fled multiple blocks in a vehicle, crashed, and then continued running on foot. At no point after that did I re-engage officers or present an immediate threat. At that stage, this was no longer an active shootout. It had turned into a pursuit. The PK guidelines themselves clarify that situations are only valid while they are ongoing, and not after the encounter has ended and transitioned into something else. Additionally, under NYPD SOP: Firearms are a last-resort option, only to be used when there is a reasonable belief of imminent danger Excessive force is defined as force used when it is no longer necessary or when the need for force has passed Officers are expected to use the minimum force necessary to control a situation At the time lethal force was used, I was: No longer actively engaging officers No longer holding or using a weapon Actively fleeing, not posing an immediate threat to life Because of that, the use of deadly force doesn’t seem to meet the SOP standard of an immediate threat, and instead falls closer to force being used after the necessity had already passed. Also, the noticeable time gap (20+ seconds) between the initial confrontation and the kill further shows this was not a split-second self-defense decision, but force applied after the situation had already de-escalated. As far as the PK guidelines, they repeatedly emphasize that actions must occur “during” an active situation. Once a suspect disengages and creates distance, that situation is no longer the same active confrontation. In my case, there was a clear break: (1) I fled multiple blocks, (2) crashed, and then chose to (3) continued on foot. This created a new scenario -> a pursuit. not a continuation of the original shootout. I also believe the way the situation was handled leans into powergaming rather than roleplay. After a clear break in the initial confrontation where I had already fled multiple blocks, Mason Peralta continued to use lethal force roughly 20+ seconds later instead of transitioning into a pursuit and arrest scenario. They had 3 police cars in the area, 2 officers actively on scene, and multiple additional units in the city, so there were clearly other alternatives available to handle the situation without resorting to lethal force. At that point, the situation realistically should have been played out through continued RP (chase, detainment, or surrender), rather than forcing a kill to secure a PK outcome. Using lethal force after the threat has ended, especially when other RP avenues are available, bypasses the intent of the rules and removes meaningful interaction in favor of a guaranteed result. Lastly, the PK rules explicitly state that officers may not execute suspects and should attempt arrest when possible. Given that I was fleeing and no longer engaging, this should have remained an arrest/pursuit situation rather than escalating to a PK. Overall, I understand the risk I took by initiating the situation, but based on how the events unfolded afterward, I don’t believe I met the criteria of an active, immediate threat at the time lethal force was used.

Hey, so last night I handled your ticket where you claimed that one of the cops was breaking NLR. I noticed that he had been killed by you three minutes before returning to the situation. For this reason, I checked the logs and the rules and determined that it was indeed a breach of NLR. He was noted for it as well. However, the fact that you opened fire on the cops first is what led me to enforce the PK. Not only that, but none of the other officers were breaking NLR at the time. They had received a 911 call, and I was also provided with a screenshot showing that someone had called the PD to the location where the PK took place. You could have opened a staff ticket to report the NLR issue instead of shooting at the other officers, especially knowing it would likely result in your death since you were outnumbered. The fact that one officer was breaking NLR does not invalidate or void the PK itself, as the situation originated from a 911 call and not as an act of revenge. From my perspective, these were two separate situations, with the second one having a direct impact on your char’s life. You chose to take the risk by opening fire, and as a result, you died. The other officers did not break any rules, nor were they instructed by the officer who broke NLR to go to the location. They responded to a 911 call. Now, let me be clear about something. I checked the logs and the rules thoroughly, and while it may be true that the officer who broke NLR was pressuring me to rush the decision, I chose not to. Initially, I said I would consult other staff members, but since no one else was online, I conducted my own research and concluded that the PK was fully justified. There was no bias involved whatsoever. I also stated, if you recall, that I wanted to make the best decision possible, not an unfair one. I understand your frustration, as losing a char is never something to take lightly, but my judgment of the situation was not taken lightly either. I listened to both perspectives, and based on all the information and analysis, I concluded that the PK was justified, with the NLR violation by one officer not voiding the scenario for the reasons previously explained.

how would you
