There has been a lot of confusion here, but its a simple explanation for your case specifically. The one who initially put out FearRP commands was faced away from you and barking them to another individual, making them irrelevant especially when you equipped your firearm. The other assailant then took his firearm out but did not give orders to you until a second after your own was equipped, deeming his one word attempt useless. As for the long discussions and accusations about fail mugging thrown out this entire thread, they will be looked into further.

What server rule or PK rule was violated?: The demands were being issued to a guy behind me. Not me. Only one dude is near me and pulls a gun out and doesn't issue any demands to me. I wait for him to turn/lower his weapon before I pull mine out to avoid being mugged. At 16 second I pull out my gun. At 17 seconds they issue a command and promptly shoot me in the head to remove me from the scenario to continue mugging the other guy. Now, to the larger point- I made about 8 or 9 Failmug tickets with the clip below showing these facts attached, but nobody took that ticket before issuing the PK. I wasn't even pulled to a sit. The ONE guy who had a gun out near me did not issue a command until my gun was out. I am not Sonny. I am not a DeCavalcante. Plus, there's an NPC right next to where Sonny got mugged. I made a handful of Failmugging tickets and none were taken before the PK was issued. Nobody even looked at my clip. Nobody watched or reviewed our clips or information. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/n3vEv4eb98EFMs5Qc?invite=cr-MSxZRUEsMjg2MzU4MDEw&v=35

Hello, As stated by Geo_Zeus who actually did a pretty good job, the rules state as simple, The only officers who may plain clothes are detective unless given explicit permission. Officers (plain clothes) who do decide to engage with suspects must be properly identified by said suspect. Through Monaclus clip we can see that the suspect did engage with another uniformed officer but had his back turned by the time Monaclu did decide to step in and shoot the suspect. Monaclu himself states that he was participating in an event and between locations, he shouldn't have been involved in the arrest or the shooting since he was not uniformed and lacked the proper equipment to even arrest if he was able to. "Policework" should typically be done within PD if it is paperwork, otherwise pointed out by others should require proper equipped and uniformed officers. Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

If I remember correctly you were running around in a white shirt shooting red coats in revenge of somebody RDM'ing you which regardless if the guy did RDM you (he didn't) it would still be revenge RDM. You weren't in any fear of losing anything because the redcoat you gunned down literally had his back turned to you. All the claims you have made are lies, I have also literally never heard of you in my life as memorable as the name "WARCRIMES KonradKoconut" is. You have taken 0 accountability for your actions and have shown no remorse, so I don't believe you should be unbanned and should serve out the 3 days like anybody else would. I also went out of my way to check what faction you are before replying and I was banned from the Popov discord the day before the event so it would be literally IMPOSSIBLE for me to shit talk in your faction server. good luck on your appeal

Hey aint there a npc at the back of the clothing store pretty sure that's in his field of view

first time hearing omerta's voice. so soft and sweet

Guns on safety are not active threats.

1. stop being Armenian is a start I guess… 2. blow your shit smooth off only two options

+1 ok

I was banned for RDM yesterday after I killed a redcoat who killed me I had also been repeatedly killed by redcoats and made several tickets asking to be comped none of which were taken I killed 1 redcoat who had killed me earlier partly because I was mad and partly because I didn't want to lose another gun. I was brought in by bullets and banned for RDM and never comped I honestly feel bullets is biased against me and the people who I play with as he hates all of us. He deliberately did not take my comp ticket and banned me over RMDing someone who had already killed me and didn't lose anything

Your Character or Steam Name: Pageboy Keegay Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:175432879 Your Discord ID#: owner2913 Reason for ban: LTARP Length of ban: Three days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? I was banned for leaving to avoid RP. I was in the PD (behind door) with my audio bugged. I switched characters and switched right back. Cop apparently has a clip of him trying to tase me before I switch characters. I did not see any of this because I was in character select screen. I'm not sure how he missed me while I was standing still and blind but I didn't see the clip so who knows. After I switch back, I explain that I'm stuck in PD and someone lets me out. Later, I get pulled into a sit and told that someone accused me of LTARP and that I will be banned for three days. I asked him how I was avoiding RP when I switched right back to the same character and was let out. Admin replied I could appeal the ban if I felt it was unjust. I didn't intentionally LTARP, so I am sorry and will not do it again.

Hello, I am the banning moderator. From the information I was provided including clips and testimony from other individuals, you were attempting to glitch into the Police Department by sitting in the window and trying to jump through. Both that and the clip of you spawning inside of the Police Department, being chased by a cop with a taser, and then as soon as you see him you leave to go to another character was the primary reason for your ban. Coupled with both of those pieces of information, I checked your note history and you have a history of LTARP being warned by calink on the 25th of June. Best of luck on your appeal.

I believe that you misunderstand how the mugging works and how common sense works as well. Let's pose a scenario where I wanted to mug someone. The biggest concerns while mugging are (or at least SHOULD be) if I will be receiving a punishment through my crime family or through the police. Inherently, if you're reporting a mugging to either higherups in your faction or to the police, you have to DESCRIBE THE ASSAILANT. If I say, "A man who was wearing a white shirt and jeans mugged me!!!", then lo and behold, it's going to be almost impossible to find the person since that's just the default clothing. The same goes for real-life mugging, if I didn't want to be caught, I would probably put on something non-descript like a mask and black clothing so that it makes the police's job 100x harder to find me since half of the population walks around with that on everyday. Secondly, I don't really see the comparison with the precedent given. Racket Wars on Diverge Networks are just flat out unrealistic. The entire concept is that you walk up and kill someone so that you can have a more expensive drug, which goes on for hours on end. Additionally, this is only locked to certain groups of criminals at a time. The entire point of the Racket War is to open yourself up to police action in exchange for potentially getting a better drug to make more money. The reason it would be unfair to wear a white shirt during a Racket War is because the entire point of the event is to avoid getting caught while doing openly illegal things on the street. The exact opposite is true of mugging. The goal of mugging is to successfully take things off of a person in a private setting. The rules of mugging reflect this value of privacy during a mugging as they created a color-coded map to describe which places were private enough so that you could mug someone. The two functions of Diverge are opposite in their nature, and it's not really fair to compare the two. Anyways, -1 from me. People will complain until the day Diverge shuts down that mugging is either too lenient or too restrictive. Can't please them all.

What a reach, making up your scenario of what you think is true and running with it as if it were fact. Talking like the notion of "There's an event going on so the police are pre-disposed so that's why I will do illegal shit and not get caught" can even be proven as true. Yes those two statements are in conflict with eachother because you made them up to be in conflict with eachother, that's what we call a strawman argument. So, no, you cannot prove that Akira acted in bath faith abusing the event going on to do what he did. The fact that a cop actually came for him disproves that whole notion. You wanna know what can actually be and has been proven? The fact that you as a plainshirt NOT RPing as a Sargeant and NOT following the proper rules and etiquette should not have gotten involved at all, nevertheless go out of your way after to PK the character all by yourself.

Admin who issued the PK here. You clearly knew what was going on. You were held at gunpoint early in the interaction. The person who killed you stated, “Don’t fucking move,” yet you continued to move backwards and pulled out your gun. Also, I’m not really sure why you mentioned me by name in the appeal. I was not involved in this mugging. During your interaction with me, you kept dropping your Omertà name like I was supposed to know who you were. I’m assuming it hurt your ego when I didn’t, since you LTAPed immediately after.

+1 This guy, despite how dumb Bambi Zucchini was, does really good RP, and there are very few people who would be better at interpreting rules and determining the proverbial wheat from the chaff

IMA BE SO FR White shirts are up to no good 90% of the time you should expect some shit ngl

Ok then let me tell you why this is dumb. Bait and Confuse Victims: You should not be flagrantly refusing to be mugged because of your OOC belief that it's a whiteshirt. Roleplay it. Assume its a real guy. I've never heard this in my entire time as staff, someone going "Well I thought it was a fail mug because they didnt have expensive clothes". Usually people who are mugging people are wearing nothing or wearing clothing store outfits, both of which you would assume is a new person if you aren't aware of their identity. Having clothes on doesn't change the dynamic. But, more on that - Risk - They are risking their character. Not wearing expensive clothes *to a mugging* doesn't actually mean anything for the risk. Unless they gave their clothes away *prior to the mugging*, which is actually still allowed so long as it doesn't come back to them. It really doesn't matter. None of this actually matters. If it's a fail mug, it gets reversed, we get the items back, if they're unrecoverable because its on an individuals person and they refuse to relinquish, we pk the char and just spawn you new clothes. You taking a decided risk to shoot at someone during a mugging is just short sighted, low IQ behavior and completely on you. Don't shoot at someone during a mugging on the chance that it's "A new player, and it will be reversed." If you're going to take that gamble, you're going to lose that gamble. Literally everybody who gets mugged ever immediately thinks its a "Mugging char" or a "Fail mug", as noted by every single ticket that is made in the aftermath of a mugging. Every single one. "Can you check if this is a mugging char, he had shitty clothes on" or whatever, the exact same logic you're using. But those people aren't dumb enough to risk their character on a hunch because of a perpetrators fashion choices.

this guy 100% got mugged tonight

Admin that removed your pet flags here. You were in the Little Israel parking lot prop flying on a table saying "look at me guys." I grabbed you and told you to knock it off. Less than 2 minutes later, when you thought I wasn't there anymore, you did it again. That's why your pet flags got removed.

Yellow Zone does not nullify the fact that an NPC is watching. Not to mention ME, who was not yet under Fear RP. You may NOT mug in front of NPCs as they are considered witnesses in RP. You may not bypass this rule by attempting to 'pull them away under FearRP in front of an NPC. Do not target people using NPCs/ATMs/Stashes. This includes camping. AND Use this map as a general guide to understand where you can mug on the spot and where you can initiate a mug when no one is around to pull them into a secluded area / empty building. The goal of this image is to help reduce fail mugs. It is a good guideline to follow, all rules listed in this section will supersede the map and staff have the final say regarding what is or isn't fail mug in a sit. Yellow Zones do not supersede the presence of any witnesses or bystanders.

https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/n3wjdw5sAusYkKIgM?invite=cr-MSw2dHEsNTE1NzIzMjc1 Another perspective of the mugging. Showing I was not under Fear RP at the moment I was shot. Whether or not IT was legitimate originally was not the issue for me ICly. I had ONE guy wagging a gun in front of me and I waited for an opportunity to draw my gun on Safety, idle, to avoid a mug and assess the situation. If I am under Fear RP, I am going to fear for my life. The situation was chaotic so I waited for the guy in front of me to slip up and see if he was going to say anything. I found my opportunity to pull on Safety and he clearly decided to blow me away to send me to the hospital and get me out of the way of his mugging. Whether it was a legitimate mug, which I still don’t believe it was, I DEFINITELY was not part of it YET and somehow I was killed anyways. Rules should matter. Me and a guy 15-20 feet away having our own spat only vaguely related to that mugging. You can’t just shoot a guy who is witness to a mugging. You need to get him under Fear RP to mug us as a group or wait until there’s no witnesses.

You are not involved in this mugging what so ever.. but decided to still comment. The mugging happened in a yellow zone, learn the map. As for the gentleman who died, you can clearly hear me say dont fucking move in the clip, you pull out a weapon almost instantly after me saying that. You weren't our target, just wrong place wrong time man.

I am not involved in this mugging what-so-ever, but I need to state that this entire mugging took place directly in front of an NPC, mugging rule number 5. "You may NOT mug in front of NPCs as they are considered witnesses in RP. You may not bypass this rule by attempting to 'pull them away under FearRP in front of an NPC. Do not target people using NPCs/ATMs/Stashes. This includes camping. In a similar vein you may not camp shipments to mug the owner." I do not understand at all how the PK'ing admin would approve this. Not only is this the first rule violated, Omerta and the party being mugged did not have each others F3 violating another rule that you cannot kill innocent bystanders. "You may not kill or attack people for stumbling onto your mugging or witnessing it. Mug in secluded locations to avoid being seen." This entire PK seems like a big mistake by the PK'ing admin, I hope Upper Administration genuinely investigates this and takes this appeal seriously.

SteamID: STEAM_0:1:434954440 Your Discord ID#: 1101937755568754728 Date of PK: 7/5/2026 Reason for PK: Stealing an item Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I picked off a helmet off the floor in Little Italy and I started running away because I thought it was cool. Two SOS ran towards me and chased me asking for it politely without putting me under fearrp. The two then shot at me. From my understanding, if someone is scamming then you need to fearrp someone to get said item back which is what the two did not do at all. The pair KOS'd me. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/n3ttbWmfJTxYqUS1U?invite=cr-MSxnaXYsNDI4MTI2MjAy

If you fail to escape the scamming situation the victim may force you at gunpoint (fear RP) to drop the items stolen, in this instance it is not considered a mugging (no PK risk to victim) nor is it power-gaming, failure to comply or attempting to escape and being killed will result in a PK. The first thing you should do when someone scams you is point a gun at them, apply FearRP and demand that they return the item. Chasing someone while holding a gun in safety mode and simply saying "give the item back" does not count as applying FearRP. Because of that i personally believe this PK was invalid

+1 Good guy overall as a staff i could see him being fair because even within my personal connection to him he has been unbiased to me, during his time in the same factions with me he punished me the same as everyone else. either way it would be nice to have more staff given his IC RP which he rarely breaks i see him ensuring complete RP and not just random shit lol.

The most okayest colombo. +1

Thank you for applying to the Diverge Networks staff team. Unfortunately, your application has been denied. You may apply again in 30 days. You may apply sooner if you receive permission from a Super Administrator or higher.

Retard that used his ESU char to help the Japs on his main when I had them by their necks btw.

@Canadian-bacon hurry up and deny ts.

My ban still hasn't been lifted and I've now missed three days of playing with my friends over something I didn't do. If you're not going to respond until my ban expires I'd still really appreciate it if you could review my appeal and see that I'm innocent so the ban can at least be removed from my record. I don't want to have a Meta Gaming ban on my record for something I didn't do

The Problem: Right now, players are initiating mugs while completely unclothed, leaving them in the default "White Shirt" state. Because our rules already state that actual fresh spawns cannot mug, seeing someone in a white shirt creates confusion. Players are abusing this by intentionally removing all of their clothing to: Bait & Confuse Victims: They trick people into thinking they are harmless new spawns who aren't allowed to mug, exploiting that false sense of security to pull off an easy robbery. Zero-Risk Criminality: They risk absolutely none of their actual clothing items or gear other than a gun if the mugging goes wrong and they get killed or caught. Honestly it's just bad rp, being white-shirt is like being naked and requires no effort. The Proposal: Make it an official rule that players must be actively wearing clothing to initiate a mugging. If a player is not wearing any clothing items (meaning they are in the default "White Shirt" state), they are prohibited from robbing other players. If a player uses restraints on another player, they cannot change or remove their clothing for the entire duration that the situation is active like it is already the case when they take damage. Other players who did participate in the mugging should not be allowed to leave the situation while being a white shirt until they reach a safe spot. Server Precedent: We already know this state causes issues because during the last Racket Reshuffling Event, players in white shirt were not permitted to participate. The staff team already recognized that the default white shirt state disrupts competitive fairness and clarity. We should simply extend that exact same logic to daily server life regarding muggings and hostile RP.

+1 my favorite british guy oat love ya goat

+1 hes just a lil guy

+1 sure

Attempts to abuse sit script and general NITRP evident. Ban is justified.

Hello, Looking at logs it its very clear that you did get into a fight and even a shootout with members of the same faction. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.

+1 he’s breedable

youre fat

thats not the guy that shot me

I never said he was the one who shot you. I was the one who shot you and there's no way the Rockefeller NPC could have witnessed me initiating the mugging inside the alleyway

Why Sonny and Smokes didnt insta pull out guns when Rain and then pulled up is beyond me. That was their own dumb fault and not due to any server rules.

I have been urged to show the evidence that also might prove this as a complete failmug from the get-go due to NPC witnesses. That is not the foundation of my initial argument, but really just goes to show how poorly executed the initial mugging was. This could have gone down as a proper and legit mugging if it had been coordinated better and I had two guys on me and the one guy hadn't turned/dropped his gun and had given clear demands/commands to me. However, this whole thing may be invalid. Here are the arguments presented:

Similar situation that was already deemed a valid mug. However in this current situation that we are dealing with right now, he was still in the street when being put under fear rp. I get its pretty bang bang, but the proof is in the pudding pal. Take it to the chin already.

Regardless of the zones painted on the OLD map, NPC placement supersedes the old zones painted on the mugging map. Plus, this is just to be considered in the other clusterfuck of mistakes these muggers won't own up to and what was blatantly disregarded and ignored without being looked at before the PK was issued. It's easy fro staff to PK a character that isn't theirs and be so blase about it but I know if it were them they'd scream failmug and point out the same things I did. You don't down your gun or turn away from someone you're trying to mug and you need to give clear instructions. That remains the foundation of my argument- I wasn't even under Fear RP. I just think the actual mugging being invalid should be *considered* as a potential factor. Meaning there's several issues here, which should have been considered BEFORE a PK was just forced on me in this stupid ass situation.
