In-Game Name(s): Detective Randall Gosset, Joey Merlino, Terry Harper, Cedric Carbone, Jimmy Germcheck Steam Name:21schmekles Steam Profile Link:https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198797319096/ Steam ID:76561198797319096 Discord Username:21schmekles Age:20 When did you first join the server:2022 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game):2mo 3w 2d 11h 24m Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: A few hours a day 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 Can 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?: In these past recent months I've put many hours into grinding this server and interacting with the community, and making friends. recently I've been wanting to get more involved based on my experiences and I thought I would give it a shot to see if my time on the server can go to use, I frequently am on the server sitting there so I figured I could put that time to use and help out the community with common problems that others I know have with current players who don't follow the rules. * Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I have a considerable amount of playtime and think with that I can contribute some of my experience into server moderation and maybe help ease the workload of current staff members and also plan on making every staff situation I'm involved completely fair and respectful. As listed before I'm not familiar with SAM and or/ Nutscript commands, but I'm fully open to learn and go through the process of being a proper staff member of the community. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long):Not on gmod but have been on another RP oriented game unturned with a similar rule structure. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I've been banned a lot in the past over my years of playing, but have not been in recent times after taking the server more seriously Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I wouldn't say that I'm known by the entire server but within the alliance I'm in and the many people I'm around yes, and as far as I know people consider me as a reasonable person who tries to be friendly all around, I'm not the type of guy to blow up on people from remarks or anything of the sort, I try to enjoy my time within the community and make friends with others so I think consecutively people consider me as good player and person within the southside. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: Back in February there was an event where the State Senate Candidate Cliff Connally came out to speak in the parking lot of the pd with a large crowd of police protecting him, at this time I didn't know what it was about but I saw everyone running to go and see him speak and hear what he had to say on the current situations surrounding government employees, I waited for him to come out and was in the crowd of people. As he came out and started speaking everyone was shouting at him completely going against him when all a sudden I heard " I hope you die, I hope you die of a heart attack" and boom he got shot in the head. I thought that was so funny because it instantly erupted into chaos and everyone was screaming where the shooter was, To me that was one of the key moments that got me hooked to diverges rp aspect and the community surrounding it. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Boost ------------------------------------------------- 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?: Make a ticket like a normal player and if no other staff members are online I would just take a clip for a further date to report the player. 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 attempt to gain a clip of them abusing, or just any wrongdoing in general that would result in a staff report. 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 continue with the sit as any other and request clips and also viewing the logs to confirm the truth to my full capability. As staff I'm expected to go into situations completely unbiased in which I will.

PART ONE, Racket Perms. Revamped rebel posted something similar in his recent suggestion but I think it needs fleshed out and a place to be discussed separate to the conversations about RICO/FBI. For a long time people have racket abused and used gun rackets against faction rules for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's just for money and sometimes it's so that they can have easy access to guns for mugging. And while I believe the char play time restrictions help, I don't feel they are enough in some cases. Especially considering there is no way to track who ordered what by "asking the vendors" (viewing an IC shipment log), which could then be acted upon if faction rules were broken. Both the IC issue of ordering against factions rules (which makes no sense ICly for the vendor to go along with), and the OOC issue of racket abuse can be solved by giving factions the ability to control who can order what. This could be the faction only giving the perms to someone after a certain time period, or it could be based on ranks. Either way I see multiple major reasons factions should have control over this: TRUST; Trust is a massive thing within criminal organisations across the world. It only makes sense that a massive organisation would refrain from immediately allowing their newest members to have access to their arms/drug trafficking network, or at least the full extent of it. RACKET ABUSE; With the last set of racket changes, we had been seeing characters join into factions to gain access to the more sought after guns. While yes this is handled by staff, having this system in place would allow FLs to decide to stop ANYONE from ordering a gun they did not want to be ordered without their blessing. This would completely eliminate racket abuse. ROLEPLAY; Having less people who act erratically armed after just a week or so on the server would improve roleplay. Additionally if an associate had gotten his only couple of guns because he was given them by someone who trusted him, then he would be more hesitant to cause a gun fight and more likely to continue the confrontation with words or with melee weapons. It would also make being armed more of a status symbol. People would know you were either trusted by your organisation or had been around for long enough to get a gun on your own. This would all push for more melee brawls without completely reducing the amount of guns in the economy. I know a lot of people on here enjoy melee fights and that includes me. If there is RP involved I will choose to exclusively use melee against someone who is unarmed/only has melee. It would require a new UI that I will discuss in part 2 below. The ability to give permissions could be granted as a new flag that the FL could give (HC perms in the example image) or as a new addition to the already existing capo flag (pk perms). From an RP perspective I fully believe it makes sense, It's the equivalent of talking to your supplier/smuggler and giving instructions of who to provide product and receive payment from. People would be given perms to order specific weapons/drugs/attachments via one or a mix of these: 1- A full list of names, charIDs or preferably both that includes everyone who has been whitelisted. I believe this information is completely reasonable to be provided by the UI. 2- The list only shows the names of people that the person using the command has the F3 of. PART TWO, Faction Management System This is the main part of the suggestion and would be where the racket permissions are controlled, however it would also have additional faction management options. Things like unwhitelisting people, managing recruit/capo perms and the additional idea of managing access to faction WLed cars through it. Again the idea is that the FL could give perms to access the UI so that their HC/MC could give people more permissions/access as they climb the ranks. The UI for all of this would likely be based on the bank user management UI, however it'd be best if permission changes were saved upon closing the menu rather than it auto-closing after every change (as the bank one does). Most of this could stay the same aside from obviously changing what the permissions are. A secondary dropdown would be good for either giving permission for each individual weapon or for each type of weapon; pistol, shotgun, smg, rifle, class 4 Ultimately the form this is implemented in doesn't matter. It's just something that would allow faction leaders to have genuine control over their hard earner rackets.

Stupid dumb post made by an idiot!!! Sorry chud, server administration deems what cassettes are server appropriate, and if they aren't, there is an upcharge. Its over for you, Ive depicted as the chud and myself as the average joe. You are a simpleton and I HATE YOU

-1 Just control your people If someone racket abuses they get pked. Furthermore, i think an easy fix would be to change the rules to "If you racket abuse, we pk your main character too"

This machine is really cool, add either more vending machines or something similar, it really adds to the depth and "lore" of the map. Plus if you get rid of the fallover hunger glitch it would make eating way more common and pushing RP so people have to go and actually get food or stock up on food.

can we get a countdown something simple just in top corner of ur screen small time counter in minutes/seconds before ur car despawns.. that way we know when to enter car before it despawns

I don't see any point in allowing this to continue to be a possibility when it could be almost completely stopped by preventing certain people from having access. Instead of staff having to have investigations into it, IF IT IS CAUGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE, why not just stop 9/10 cases of it happening. Because any smart criminal won't shit where he eats, unless everyone is in on it. It makes no sense to go behind your bosses back when he is how you make a living whilst knowing that you could lose your job, if not your life, for making a slightly higher amount of money. And realistically even the biggest factions with upwards of 4 capos cannot keep an eye on all of their men 24/7 (especially with timezones), I know first hand that this is not a realistic expectation. The real mob's issues with drugs being sold by their guys was primarily because these organisations did not want drugs being sold AT ALL. This is a massive difference to diverge where every faction is pushing drugs and the main alliances, unlike real life, are fine with it. In real life the organisations as a whole were not buying/selling drugs, which meant that those who wanted to move drugs behind their family's backs had to do it via a 3rd party. The only way it restricts people from "living on the edge" is by preventing them having access to a racket the faction basically owns. These people can still avoid family rules in countless ways by mugging for guns, finding them in shipments that aren't theirs, buying them illegally or finding someone that IS trusted and has access to buy it for them. All this done is prevents them from "living on the edge" without putting in some level of effort to get whatever it is they're after. I believe PKs for this are remarkably uncommon, at least in my faction. People likely get away with it a decent amount, but more commonly they stop after being told not to.

god i fucking hate coco so much...

Yeah maybe not a constant countdown, just a reminder like how server restart reminders happen.

Your Character or Steam Name: Jamal 'Warlord' Kingston Your SteamID: "76561199683103598" Your Discord ID#: "965678074668662784" Reason for ban: Mugging Char Length of ban: 1 Week Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute Why should you be unbanned? So my character isn't mug character as it was defined, my character was in Supreme Team and it was my main until I switched it to my other char I have Class-3, lots of guns, money and other things on it. I left the Supreme Team to join it on my main character as I was on the 7 day cooldown I was making weed in the ghetto, buying oil and to make a side money I risked my character to mug some people, I value this character I don't mug everyone I see I am cautious when approaching to mug. I was mugging with my friends on my other character (admin said I didn't because I didn't tie them up but I was clearly gunpointing people with my friends) on my other character "Szymon Abramovich" so the same day I 3rd person peeked to see where my victim was I mugged him he ran away and I shot him and it was voided because of that reason totally acceptable and it is my fault, and then it came to my 2nd mugging that lead me to the ban. Admin said I was blatantly shipment camping when I asked her to show me the proof where she was quiet now I want you to see if this was a shipment camping or not "Mugging" the guy literally rammed himself and came out of the car just to stand there for couple seconds not picking up anything you cannot hear any shipment nor see, you can see i didn't even want to put him under FearRP I had many chances, until bro came at me with the car he didn't value his life now it's my fault. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): The admin pulled me into a sit and said I was blatantly shipment camping, as I provided her the "clip" and told her to show me the proof where is the shipment she went quiet. She went asking the other admins to find a tiny reason just to keep me out of the server. I never had a warning for mugging I didn't mug only on this char (Tied yes but mugged no because ngl I could only be free in Supreme) I mugged on Jamal when it was my main on Supreme when we got approved by HC and now to make some bread because I left the faction I am on a cooldown on my main after I join on my main I wanna think which faction should I join on Jamal. I don't know how is this character defined as a mugging char just because I have restraints and I am always at the ghetto to make some weed? mages, videos, etc): For example here me and Tupac (both on our main characters mugged this guy little bit after this for some other reason I don't remember tbf) https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kNJcncd44QdhWn2qd?invite=cr-MSxxekEsMjYxOTQwMzA2&v=28 I took part of a lot muggings on my main which shows that I am not afraid to lose the character, the only reason I don't mug on other chars is that do you expect someone to mug on B&S char? or on my ex-cartel one the faction got deleted I didn't play on it because I was still in Supreme on Jamal I left the faction so my new-main can get in the Supreme.

"alright Lemme just unlock my car and we can get outta he-" your car has been removed for inactivity "Oh.. ok" +1

Maybe just general vending machines, hot dog vendors are old. Maybe we could get more food items in vending machines like the one in pd

Name of Character: Giovanni Scampi Character ID: 178129 SteamID: STEAM_0:1: 163802953 Your Discord ID#: _lordsorbet Date of PK: 12/3/2025 Reason for PK: Breaking FearRP/Failed Retaliation Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: FearRP Rule 6: If the person with the weapon puts it away or turns his line of sight (Meaning the user has turned completely away and is not even slightly facing you. Usually at an angle of larger than 90 degrees), fearRP becomes null and you may take the window of opportunity to retaliate with little to no risk. (Does not apply if multiple weapons are pointed at you) This might be a visual thing, but his gun was on safety for me, so I didnt know that I was under fearRP. Thats why I retaliated, I would not have risked it if I had known I was at risk for PK. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/lF83tDCTvLOrGMyGb?invite=cr-MSw3bTIsNDc4MzkwNjE0&v=101

Visual thing, as the mugger this guy deserves to be unPKed. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/lDjpiJI3aGl2xzn4G?invite=cr-MSxMcnAsMjYxOTQwMzA2&v=36 and how can you fucking have 0 bullets...

is my favorite emoji. Nothing further

The fuck are you talking about? This isn't about someone having my F3. It's about the dumbass notification that keeps popping up over my shit. You are slow as fuck. I don't even know why some of you hateful ass motherfuckers try to talk slick when you knee jerk and say just the dumbest fucking shit imaginable. Please die horribly and soon.

I remember when this nigga accidently made me staff https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/1wtK2rQiGhhXgp?invite=cr-MSxuSzYsMTkzMTA3NjIz&v=22

Me when i dont realise that people have a life and sometimes you step down from leadership to take care of your life, no one disliked him as sos don, believe it on not everyone doesnt have a "I MUST COUP RIGHT NOW" mentality like you guys do sad take from a very sinister view on how leadership should be attained.

Absolutely, obviously. As I said in my response, "not a huge fan of directly ripping off an IRL club". Same name, same concept. Overdone in my personal opinion.

-1 I like it in theory but I know in reality it would be a wop gatekeep fest even worse than now. This is a good idea if you want no one to have drugs or guns on the server

Your Character or Steam Name: vdot.co Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:139197557 Your Discord ID#: vdot.co Reason for ban: LTARP Length of ban: 3 Days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): dispute and apology ig Why should you be unbanned? Im ngl i wasnt tryna LTARP i was just wanting to drop everything from my character and delete it since i was done with it (faction as buns af). cops caught me and i wasnt trying to sit around for 30+ minutes for the same result to happen (deletion of my character). I also want to throw in an apology cause after everything happened i realized it couldve been juicy rp but again, i didnt wanna sit around for that long. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): n/a

Hi. I am the member of staff who banned you, I was shown a clip by one of the patrol LTs which showed you droping some firearms and other things in City Hall. They then proceeded to arrest you and search you. Then as they started walking you to the PD you left the server which would stop them from obviously carrying out the arrest RP etc. You were a bit shitty in the discord about your ban as well, but seeing as you have given an apology I am okay with your ban being reduced or lifted.

this @calink guy is smoking fucking crack

Hi. I am the member of staff who handled this PK. As shown in the clip above provided by @Orsini, he had initiated a situation in which FearRP takes place. You willingly walked into a room with a stranger whilst unarmed and then the second he finished typing you pulled your gun out and retaliated and lost the gunfight. Now I don't mind if this gets accepted or not, but you willingly putting yourself in a dangerous situation is pretty stupid and you shouldn't really do that going forward.
