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.

Neutral. I believe many, if not the entire community, has some sort of grievance with the current mugging system. I believe this suggestion to remove clothing mugging is a good idea and I can agree with that, but I fail to understand the thought process with removing and changing the FearRP aspect of mugging. From your FearRP changes that you're suggesting, it seems to me like you're attempting to make it so that it is physically impossible to prevent yourself from getting mugged once it has been initiated, while also removing all of the PK risk. Mugging is not necessarily an aspect of the server in order to be a primary way of making money, but to add a risk factor to the server, where slipping up in the wrong area could lead to you losing money or your life. From the way I am interpreting your suggestion, you are wanting to remove this risk factor almost entirely, only allowing for PK's to be administered when someone comes randomly to the defense of the victim of the mugging, which in my opinion will do nothing but encourage discord metagaming to prevent a mugging from occurring. The current mugging system is well balanced in my opinion. As a consequence for absent-mindedly walking through dangerous areas of crime ridden cities, you have some items robbed off of your character. If these items are imperative to your character or if they hold a high enough value, you actually have an opportunity to try and prevent them from being stolen, albeit you may be permanently killed for doing so. In my opinion, the mugging process itself is completely fine. The issue presented about mugging 99% of the time is that people get upset and claim that mugging once or twice a week is "minging" and "mugging abuse", and get upset when they're caught not being careful in bad areas. Changing the clothing aspect of mugging to increase realism would be a good change to roleplay in my opinion. Stripping people naked in alleyways is pretty unrealistic when you're trying to sell their clothes.

Hear me out here....if someone mugs another person and that person has undeniable IC proof that theyre the mugger WHAT IF they could send a hit on them anytime after the mug as long as they have undoubtable IC evidence (video of them in the act of mugging their faction members / video of the person bragging of the mugging etc) mugging overall has very little repercussions after the 15 minutes and if there was a long term risk, there would be more natural mugs with actual sense around it not just bragging in advert/ic to the factions face about doing the act because of the fact nothing can happen after the 15 minute point which just makes 0 sense in RP aspects just a brainstorm and even if this was in place itd be very rare to truly get ic proof that theyre the culprit UNLESS they act completely reckless (which is usually how it goes today) this change would just make people actually not act retarded after the fact and actually have more strategic values of masks, staying low key instead of shit talking/bragging to the people they mugged, working with people and not just going around mugging every person in sight etc this is would also create a more natural escalation / drama around factions

I agree with this section of what you've stated, but everything else is kinda dumb. Would be cool to maybe have a c menu option where we could take whatevers in peoples pockets up to like a 5k cap or something like that.

-1 never met 1 normal person that plays VR games, let alone mods on them, Roblox as well. Also bro has no playtime and forgot to fill in a bit of information.

Clearly you’ve never been to Brazil

-1 I usually give all applications the time of day, but considering that you couldn't be bothered to put basic information or even take the time to figure out how to edit your application to fix it, not sure you would be a good addition to staff. Maybe you'll come around and figure out how to troubleshoot the forums in the coming days or weeks before applying for staff again, if that even happens.

You mean give cops a reason to arrest and charge everyone for the same crime because they are wearing the same pins and hanging around each other +1 fs fs

gmod lawyers arent smart enough to defend it, gmod prosecutors arent smart enough to pursue it and gmod judges arent smart enough to rule on it

If factions get main char locked for Racket Wars then so should PD as anyone not participating could go on their PD Char and target factions, this is Mafia RP not Police RP they shouldn't get more leverage than us in an event

can we add RICO

-1 All I can see here is the bare minimum roleplay standard. You knew your intentions, and now your only panicking about it because you got caught. shame.
