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

These registers are gay. I want my guys to RP going out, ordering food, and picking it up. It used to be fun. New hires get something to do while they wait their new founded hour to order drugs existing players get extra RP in having to work to supply their restaurants Restaurant RP could be great again.

+1, I could actually use my company truck for pick ups/deliveries.

If I recall correctly, Mass RDM'ed, disconnected in the sit, basically didn't care, then posted a video of the Mass RDM bragging about it in one of the discords, so the clear lack of remorse / intentional MRDM led to a perma. What's different?

Put an invisible fucking barrier here, I am sick of seeing faggots standing there 12 hours a day... pissin me off. Also the mail boxes

In-Game Name(s): Andrew Spencer, Marko "Polo" Medici, Mateo "Chaser" Nazario, Katsu "Mazo" Kane Steam Name: BritishBarry Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199013715905/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:526725088 Discord Username: BritishBarry Age: 20 When did you first join the server: 2021 i think Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2 months 3 weeks 2 days 7 hours Time Zone: GMT / BST 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 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?: Having been a member of the community for a while, I've often thought about joining the staff team. Now that my time has freed up as I am no longer staff on any other servers, I'm eager to dedicate my time and effort to Diverge. I have always enjoyed my time on this server and want to contribute the community. I believe that I can help bring a positive and welcoming feel to the server for new players by stopping rulebreakers and hopefully preventing future ones. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I have previous work as a staff member on many servers in the past and I know the ins and outs of general staffing. My time spent on the server along with having to read over the rules quite a few times due to my recent misunderstandings have led to a good knowledge of the server rules. On top of this, I am an active player; meaning that I will be able to dedicate a good amount of time to staffing and the server as a whole. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): CivilNetworks - I was staff here for around a year and got to Senior Moderator, Icefuse - I was also staff here for around a year and also got to senior moderator; which is about the same as an admin in most servers , Multiple DarkRP servers that I can't recall - Multiple servers but I think the highest I got was assistant community manager or something along those lines. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have been banned a few years back for item transfer however I learned from my lesson and haven't gone near it ever since. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I would like to say Andrew Spencer is well known in the community as he has been a cop for about 4 years now. Depending on who you ask my reputation may be good or bad, mostly because of people's individual thoughts on my characters. I hope that the majority of the people I talk to think that I am an alright person and I know that the majority of them think i'm tolerable at least. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: That would likely be meeting cool people and making new friends, the best part about this server is being able to have fun whilst being able to bump into people and have a laugh whilst grinding away. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: N/A ------------------------------------------------- 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?: If I was the one who got RDMed I would make a ticket as per usual; however if it was somebody else and I witnessed them get RDMed, I would tell them to make a ticket and explain to them how if they don't already know. 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?: Clip each occasion and report it to somebody who is of higher rank than myself. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?: I would not take the ticket as it could possibly come across as bias, I would instead inform other staff members that I can't take it and explain why.

the fact that people get protections from PKs simply because they dont touch drugs is the dumbest shit.

ive always said this would b fun but understand the downsides and difficulties, but, still,,,, +1

SOS 2.0

The fact that multiple intersection's traffic lights, stop signs and painted directions just aren't correlated and make no sense.

never had the intent to mug or kidnap though, nor even the tools to do so. the gun was initially aimed at a car and because he was laughing at me getting carjacked earlier i did ask him to put his hands up so that he did not take out a gun. (he had told me that the person taking my car was on their 'minge char' and he wasnt talking to them seriously). clearly he seemed to know not only him but the two people pk fishing as they all have each others f3's in the video. this is a situation taken five seconds out of context and never meant to put anyone in fear rp.

Name of Character: Alessio C. Ciminelli SteamID:STEAM_0:0:47578262 Your Discord ID#: 199666061229031424 Date of PK: 1/17/25 Reason for PK: 'Fail mug' Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I wasn't mugging them; their friend had just stolen my vehicle and was driving it around the square. I took my gun out to fire at the car and proceeded to tell their friend (I assumed them to be an accomplice) to put their hands up in order to prevent them from pulling out a weapon and firing at me. In the clip provided it shows me elaborating 'I am not mugging you; you know him.' while waiting for the vehicle to return. (Black Challenger at the tail end of the video) If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: (Same as PK Evidence) https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/jvBzU7ABuIJOgib3N?invite=cr-MSxSUWUsMTYyODM1MzY0LA

+1 but they tried this once before already, it did not go well iirc

answered in comments Hi. I posted a few months back about the same topic; I'm interested in having more props available for use. At first I was happy to be informed that there is a medium to do this! I promptly began collecting a bins worth of props that will be helpful in later builds, posted them all in the ticket which was claimed, designated under props and proceeded to wait patiently for months for an update, no less for the whitelists. I'm seeing now that at some point it was (seemingly, at least with no explanation) randomly closed and the props very clearly never added to the whitelist. If I may save anyone who is interested the time; it is now abundantly clear to me that the process described isn't the case and is in fact absolutely useless. If you're going to prevent people from asking for props if they ask please be forthright and just say no; don't waste our time please. I've watched a gentle trickle feeding of props get introduced into the whitelist over and I would truly hate to think that the case for getting them implemented is nepotism based exclusively. Now I'm here to instead suggest we have a medium for actually getting props whitelisted in a meaningful way since 'the way' clearly hasn't worked. My suggestion; have a very small team of moderators/lower administration have a delegated role meant for like-tedium that UA may not have the time or interest for completing. I wouldn't expect this clerical 'role' to impact standard staffing duties and rather could be a medium for staff members to express an interest in upward growth while being willing to put time and effort toward it. Completion of these small time administrative tasks could potentially contribute to activity/progression metrics that exist for staff members being active. That is all up to you guys though. For my props gripe; I suggest the creation of a basic google form which tracks the person who submits it, the prop(s) they would like submitted, pathing links for said props, images of the props in the spawnlist and/or spawned in, as well as possibly a notes section for any applicable circumstance/prop. Alternatively just add a dedicated section to the ticket arena in the Diverge main discord for props alone so that they do not clutter other more time sensitive tickets. Discretionary prop implementation could still be an issue as can any position that sees acceptance and denial; I would recommend a someone (Likely UA proper) who oversees the process regularly to see what things are being passed/denied as well whom is passing and denying things for whom and if it is. There will come a point where we run out of props to implement; that is just a fact. A dedicated role for just prop implementation may not be a wise idea for that very reason. However I'd still recommend a 'UA peon' role for other menial UA tasks that may not be covered in timely fashion.

Not even half a day of playtime -1

the forums' strongest warrior im ngl, im downright impressed. bro needs a staff spot at this point

Massive +1 for obvious reasons

i deadass made a dupe for them and got told not to use it

cool idea, would love to see it as long as its adjustable and im not hearing gunshots from pd @ car dealer

on behalf of the rest of the forums id like to congratulate you on another successful post; thanks for your solid input lord forbid a server that has crime in it has a crime suggestion that criminals could take part in

+1 if landlines are established for businesses i'd love to see the phone booths around the city become usable too.

-1 ban should definitely stay in place. try again in 6 months

your message reads like poor rage bait didn't ask for anything, its called a suggestion. thats what this whole section of the forums is for nobody said it was a safe or smart crime. a lot of the components would likely incriminate you very easily and it should rightly come /w a higher risk; but its still a crime and prevalent in the mob especially nonetheless 'brain rotten' oh shit guys look standards have officially started right here. give me a break. im not exactly asking for emerald, ruby, and diamond money printers in the f4 menu here.

thanks

ik im probably not the first one to suggest this and there very well could be a proposed update that has other plans with counterfeiting; but if not i feel like counterfeiting if done right could be a neat addition to the game obviously theres countless different ways to do it but at its core the concept i had for it for it was: tl;dr bleach money -> create money 'blanks' -> put blanks into printer to make into higher value bills dump bleach bottle into bucket>put real money in>3minTimer; money bleeds and becomes a 'blank' dollar>4minTimer; money blanks 'dry'>place blanks into printer>remaining 3 minutes spent printing. bam end product, rinse repeat it would be available to all factions as a quicker but labor intensive way to make money (presumably taking roughly 1/2 the ordinary shipment time, 10 minutes total) i dunno if it would be better whether or not the 'product' would be applied directly to your wallet for use or if it would produce an item of 'counterfeit cash' to sell to a dealer/deposit to an ATM to clean- maybe theres a better way than either of those who knows *'color printers' would need to be added to the electronics store (you could have a higher rate for citizens to buy it and a 'supplier/bulk' rate for any/all criminal enterprise 'employees' purchasing printers? might be more effort than its worth but just an idea) *'large buckets' would need to be added to the hardware store or any container for mixing money with bleach, really *if you're feeling particularly stingy you could add ink/toner for printers as well or have them break after X amount of uses. this could also be a way to enhance the quality of counterfeits as well though too *blanks could be air-cooled and/or you could be able to use a stove could make it go faster at risk of it failing/burning/exploding a stove *you could let people keep created blanks in their inventories to keep it a very malleable process in terms of time consumed. *felon exclusive opportunities if thats the the new in-thing if it isn't totally clear this is just a suggestion/brainstorm and hardly a well thought out plan. i dunno if the ideas are viable or interesting to others but but it seems like it fits the nature of the game and can be expanded upon further wanted to see what others thought/if yall had input or ideas too

-1 biggest, fattest -1 i can muster. you're trying to get rid of stove bombs; a core, absolutely necessary, and beloved mechanic in our mafiarp? a special place waits for you in hell

+1 why are slots a waste of space and roulette not anyway? it seems adjusting values for either would easily entice more into people using them

no i totally get what you're saying, im just trying to say that we should make all viable too; no sense of realism when everyone has a meta sense that even winning is losing with it- otherwise theres no point in even having it

you know those stupid little print outs you see pasted to light poles all over the place with those perforated ticket stubs attached to them? yeah those. thats kinda what i was thinkin off it'd be neat if ad's made with the advertisement boards in game could have the ability to have 'tickets'/stubs on them that can be 'taken off' as a barebone idea it could be a counter that lets a limited (#) of people 'take a stub' (probably a limit of 1 per person) all it could really do when interacted with copy/paste the info directly into a persons note pad/clipboard or even give them a small piece of paper in their inv people can rip off a ticket that has contact info on it, dates of events, whatever tf. primarily it helps people have a way to interact with the adverts while also giving the ability for advertisers to have another chance to see how much traction their ads might or might not be getting

money?

just call the cops

coulda at least let the first ban cool off a little imo

they should add passive rp to the server, that would be very cool +1

+1 if i cant make the top 3 scores of the galaga machine say slurs before the 80s is out then was it really the 80s

results are in

yeah? i noticed? i dont see your point. post isn't about what you want it to be, its about making it easier to build on the build server

it'd be nice to have a prop limit of like ~300 props on the build server ik it sounds a little excessive but very often do i use another dupe i've made as a reference, or maybe a quick way to snatch a material for something else just to remember ' damn i gotta undo everything i've been working on before i do that'

all of this is only a good idea if the police are also strictly subject to following these as well- or else its just going to be gamed out into high hell by every DT and their dog. no more cops doing absolutely egregious maneuvers, mowing down small crowds and pleading oopsie-daisy. if the hammer comes down on civ driving then police are going to need to be held to a much higher standard too. it'll have to be enforceable as well, no more 'i didn't see it so it didn't happen' bs excuses of cops getting a dash cam pass but anyone else having a camera in a vehicle not being allowed to get footage (it must be equipped and the person recording not driving is a reasonable ask for something like this imo)

what if instead fac's with auto repair shop businesses could have the ability to own/lease vehicle spawner pads from the city? (provided they have the space for one) you would have to pay to take vehicles out/put them away instead of being free (maybe like ~$500-1k or sumn, idk). money goes right to the business and could be taxed thru the city as normal during tax season or a regular flat separate rate for those who opt into owning one

this is probably the best way to do it imo. i don't think you can directly add to the age cause it might make some pretty awkward discrepancies - especially since no real way to rationalize people serving multiple year long sentences and having their age be changed when its still 1989. a sort of age 'point system' like this will still discourage repeat offenders.

sonic weber 4 mayor

big gov would try to make you believe this could never happen..

+1 for /me's involving taking weapons out of trunks big -1 for adding /me's to concealable weapons. it totally nullifys the point of its concealability +1/-1 for unslinging open carry weapons. imo its kinda useless but i could see it being cool for the sake of showmanship -1 on the melees as well since they could also be able to be taken out discretely

Here’s another reply for you to Dumb react and help push my Rep. Also, next time you have an idea, remove yourself from Earth before sharing.

-1 not bad a thought, but imo fighting shouldn't be well practiced. you're either seasoned or you're not; that should be your character. no trying to practice bhopping, strafing, and ADADADAD spamming trying to matrix hop over bullets with a movement-damage weapon build based entirely off numbers and meta that you've practiced for hours on end. if its worth that much to you, buy what you need IC and practice that way

+1 with the recent overhaul city workers got, i dunno if they're in any dire need for more, plus i don't trust a loose band of new players to be effectively cleaning up the city im definitely more in line with the idea factions being able to use it as a front- cleaning services are one of the quintessential mobster services and this seems like the perfect opportunity to see them more properly introduced.

wait, then what is the prompt for then? might as well pay for his college and into his 401k is this actually a bad thing? 95% of them are denied anyway instead of exerting a power that should be authorized as a faction leader (who doesnt want a person in their faction), instead allow for (insert shitbag here) to play an ooc system and have contractually no real way to get PK'd? at best its a guy doing bare minimum weekly, at worst you've found the perfect loophole for rats to try and make PD more powerful by having immunity they'll happily bring to staff every day of the week if their con isn't convincing

I did mass RDM, although at the time, I didn't realize it was RDM because I thought I had a valid initiation due to the slurs and threats. I didn't realize that violence on the server required escalating sitdowns and such, as I was brand new to criminal RP and had only recently gotten a gun and joined a crew. I DC'ed from the sit because the admin I was talking to and explaining the situation to called me slurs and muted me, so I DC'ed as I felt like there was no point sitting there at that point since he didn't want to hear anything I had to say. I am not sure what you are referring to about posting it into the Discord. I think the only place I posted to clip to was my gangs/criminal orgs discord, and I believe I had posted it to their OOC channel to show them the situation. I am sure I can still find the shooting clip if you want to see it, although if I remember rightly, it doesn't show the initial confrontation due to it being a medal clip, and I had set it to only record about 2 minutes of gameplay at a time. I do understand what I did wrong and have read the rules since the incident, and won't repeat my actions again and if a situation like this happens to me in-game again, I would follow the escalation guidelines with sitdowns, extra confrontations, etc, before shooting. I haven't appealed my ban for 7 months because I understood that I needed a long ban for my actions but I hope to be able to rejoin the server after this long cool down period. Edit: adding this as I don't know if I explained this enough, I didn't randomly walk into Chinatown and just air out a clip. I had a prolonged altercation with the people before firing, where I was threatened and my friend and I were insulted with racial slurs. I understand now that you can't shoot over this, but from previous interactions I have had with other gangs on the server, I thought that this was enough escalation to shoot. I found the clip, and in the clip, it shows me open fire but only against the people I directly had an issue with, for example, I didn't shoot random bar bar goers or the black guy that was in there. At the end, another chinaman appeared that I didn't shoot (even though he was obviously with them) because I had no prior problem/reason to kill him. I only ended up killing him after he opened fire on me. I also didn't shoot anyone else outside the establishment randomly, for example. I know that according to the rules, they didn't give me enough provocation to shoot, but I did genuinely think at the time that I did have enough of a reason to shoot. I didn't shoot anyone who wasn't involved. I will add the clip here just in case you haven't seen it, as I feel like it makes my point quite well. Essentially, I did massrdm, but it wasn't intentional. Also, as a side note, I should have kept the part before the shooting in character; however, although I talk about a previous admin sit, my issue with them (and reason for shooting) was in character.

Your Character or Steam Name: Friendly Man Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:463830675 Your Discord ID#: mrmostdef Reason for ban: MRDM Length of ban: Perm Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): I got a little carried away. My friend and I were walking around, and these chinese guys started yelling racial slurs at us, and one of them threatened us. I ended up shooting at all of them. I understand now that I can only shoot when they pull a gun on me or shoot at me. Why should you be unbanned: I have stayed banned for a while, probably a good few month,s to show that I wasn't just trying to get quickly unbanned and that I served a long punishment. I hope to get unbanned so I can play again. Additional Information (images, videos, etc):
