Your Character or Steam Name: Kyle Smith Your SteamID: 76561198223298300 Your Discord ID#: 177956330550722560 (cheese_masta) Reason for ban: PD Raid Length of ban: 5 Days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): So i made a decision last night that was not the most intelligent, i took 2 guns out of an unlocked cabinet in the pd evidence room on my cadet char when i decided to quit the PD due to issues with management. I was under the assumption because it was an unlocked cabinet that it would be whoever left it unlocked that made a mistake presumably making it a warrant/IC issue for the char. I would not have done it if i realized it was a ban-able offense. Why should you be unbanned?: I've been on this server for over 2 years now if my memory is correct, and this is my first ban ever on Christmas day. I've done a good job of staying out of trouble to this point and feel my track record alone is a testament to my point. Which is i would not have done it had i known it was not an IC issue, I rarely have issues with anyone, i get along with pretty much everybody. For what its worth i am sorry for taking the stuff. I feel being Christmas, being my first ever ban in years of playing, i clearly like being here and wont cause more problems if unbanned. I think I deserve another chance. It is also holidays and i have a few days off of work and it would be nice to be able to play before I've got to go back. I've also seen people with actual records get far less time for doing far worse things repeatedly. Thank you for your time in reading this. Merry Christmas. -Cheese Man Additional Information (images, videos, etc): N/A

Hello diverge family! I am formally applying for a position on your staff team! I have been described on LinkedIn as a "rockstar" and "office superhero". My work experience is mostly people oriented, I was able to strike deals with Afghan villagers for opium. This proves my ability to work with the large British population on this server. I am a disabled veteran, I am a honest god fearing humble man, I am a proud divergian and long term player, I am committed to my role as an elderly black man and I will not break character even when taking tickets. Due to my experience I did not feel it was necessary to use your pre provided prompt, that is for the chumps. I think outside the box that's just the type of guy I am. Thank you for reading and accepting my application.

Your Character or Steam Name: Spooky Pyro Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:69780698 Your Discord ID#: 666780178290311175 Reason for ban: Metagame | Extensive POs Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? It has now been more than a full year where I have been banned from Diverge and I still think about this server. Diverge has never really left my system and this is due to the amount of time I had invested into it as well as me nearly spending 3 years playing. I have around 4 months playtime and most of my hours on GMOD came from me playing this server. As I stated before, my ban stemmed from the completely unacceptable behavior that a server like this wont tolerate. On my first permanent ban appeal, I was unbanned on the claims of no longer exhibiting the behavior but 6 months later I was re perma banned. I was mad like anyone else would be but once my appeal got denied by James, I understood. I am not commemorating what I was doing but I will say that I had fun. Regardless I have seen the consequence trough me being perma banned and I can say I regret the metagame which lead to my permanent ban as well as the behavior I showed the server. No matter how little the rule break was it still gave me an unfair advantage and my IC/OOC actions had consequences like when I stalked Bonnano chars, trough what I knew OOCly, and then ratted them to Kosher about them planning a robbery which began the whole Olympus and Commission giga war, that never happened. I have never told anyone about how I got ahold of this information and it was 50/50 metagamed but I only snitched once they said something in game. My reason for snitching was because I knew it would cause some conflict and it in fact did. Not because I wanted Kosher to fight back but only because I wanted a conflict to fight in. This is not my first perma ban appeal and despite the 1 year that has passed I am still persistent on trying to return to Diverge since gmod is easily on my top 5 of games. Majority servers are the same Dark RP slop aside from a few serious RP servers. Gmod Dark RP servers are so saturated, its depressing trying to find another server that has different roleplay and genuinely can captivate my attention. As I have said before, there is not another server like Diverge and it's gun, law, and roleplay system. I do not intend on being as active as I was pre-perma but I want to at least get on from time to time to play so I can experience something different than the hundreds of Dark RP and Clone Wars RP servers there are. At the end of my last appeal Canadian said "Your ban record is quite extensive and I don't feel comfortable with giving you another chance sans conditions". Those conditions were I pay for an unban or I wait longer to remake another appeal. I not only waited the 6 month period but 2 more for a total of 8 months. I am deeply apologetic to harm I caused. I will hold myself for contempt but it has been a full year and I ask may I please receive another chance. Additional Information (images, videos, etc):

It would be nice if our characters could come home after a long day of committing crimes or enforcing the law to a family in their townhouse. It makes no sense that they’d just be hanging around their front and trafficking drugs all day, where do gangsters sleep? Family roleplay, more town houses, more props, npc children that will grow up as time goes on, when fully grown it can make money for you but you have to bring it food and items or it will die. Family dinner roleplay, thanksgiving overhaul. Vendors and or factions that can sell equipment such as couches, Gun safes and lock boxes in your town house. Laundry machines, dish washers, ovens, gives female players more realistic roleplay opportunities. Just doing some brainstorming here, hopefully some of this is taken to heart, I just want to see the townhouses utilized more. Think Skyrim hearth fire dlc.

Name of Faction: The Wright Crime Family Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 7 Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Crime Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): English, (British) Name of Character running the faction: Daniel Fernsby Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): ___alex____#0638 Your SteamID: 76561198829389343 Your Server playtime: 3weeks 2days 7hours (559 hours) Do you acknowledge and agree to all faction rules as detailed on the server rules page? (Yes/No): Yes Do you acknowledge that your faction discord will be owned by us? (Yes/No): Yes Provide an example of the unique Roleplay your faction will bring to the server/what type of roleplay we can expect from your faction (Images/Videos Preferred): We aim to be a higher class of faction. Bringing elegance and luxury to the city, tying in with our British heritage. As our main business, we would run a gentleman’s club/lounge. This would be considered a higher class establishment, where a strict dress code would be enforced to uphold our classy appearance. Once established, regular members will have the opportunity to purchase a VIP membership to the club where once a member, they will have the opportunity to enter into exclusive giveaways, enter private auctions for exclusive items, eat and drink for free for life, attend private parties, participate in a gentleman's boxing league and much more. We intend to be more business focused, rather than on bloodshed. We aim to have a well established private society, with an illegal racket running in the background. For our members, we aim to offer a unique and refreshing roleplay experience. Don’t expect the typical stand in front of the door guard that everyone is tired of. We will offer immersive tasks and roleplay for our members to keep them engaged, even from the lowest rank. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): As stated above, we plan to hold private auctions for our "High Roller VIPS". The auctions would start at a much lower price than buying price so there will be a real incentive for people to participate. For faction members we aim to hold weekly "block parties" where faction members and guests can come to mingle. Appreciation and awards will be handed out to top performers of the week. We also want to give new people who come to the faction a more enjoyable time. No more sitting on a door for five years. We aim to have different positions for new members. For example errand runners, bodyguards, drivers, and bartending. One of our biggest goals is to keep new members interested instead of staring into the street senselessly. We plan to have open bar nights where drinks and food are free for anyone. To further iterate on our faction being heavily business based, we intend to build relations with other factions, but in the scenario that someone tries impeding on our business we wont hesitate to show face.

On some real shit fuck you -1 but its the day of gifts so i gift you a +1 for ban appeal. Let this man back in since his socks look like this.

Add a breeding press

Right now with the recent changelogs, you cannot process a whole inventory/have multiple processed shipments anymore. You must collect your shipment to be able to collect the shipment out of the processor. What a lot of people did before was process a whole inventory and have all the processed shipments sit there until they were done and then they would sell them. However this new update has totally killed processing and now takes even longer to do a full inventory. I'd like to see it reverted back to how it was or just make it so all the shipments combine into one like @DopeAsRoe suggested in staff chat, or even just put a cap on how many shipments there can be at one time.

First off I can understand the thought process of that being an in character issue cuz in reality a trainee could 100% rob the police station if a higher up left something unlocked and be on the run for it. So I don't believe he purposefully did it to break the rules. Secondly some of you seriously responded with some unnecessarily hostile and from what I can tell intentionally aggravating messages in discord. The first dude was being a dick over cheese masta asking if he could get some help because he doesn't think he should be playing gmod on Christmas eve. Which is none of his fucking business when he plays and there's no need to be an asshole about it. Nor is it anyones place to start telling him he's bullshitting or covering up him snapping by saying his mom is sick. he got a reply saying "go spend time with family" (like he can't play gmod cuz it's a holiday...) he then replies saying he's on gmod cuz he cant be with family and y'all start saying he's bullshitting and making excuses? Who the fuck do you think you are that you can be talking to other grown ass men like that? I know Cheese irl and his mother is struggling with her health and y'all are calling him a liar and wonder why he crashed out so hard on you guys. He asked a simple question got a rude reply then stated why he's not spending time with family and then y'all say he's using his sick mom as an excuse for "snapping" when he literally did no such thing. Yall were nothing but disrespectful to him and quite frankly your willingness to jump in and call him a liar and use his sick mom and as ammo against him is sickening and rather infuriating. YOU people need help and YOU went too far way before cheese did. P.S. I dont think you guys really know what snapping is cuz saying "Thanks for being a dick about it" is not what you call "snapping"

THIS GUYS A SCUMBAG! A PD RAID? THATS A MAJOR RULE VIOLATION!! 5 DAYS ISNT ENOUGH PUNISHMENT YOU NEED TO RAISE IT

Although He DID ROB THE PD AS A CADET, I think five days may be a little long. Maybe some holiday cheer and a reduction are due. Would be an awesome Christmas present for Mr. GI Jew the American Hebrew.

I understand the confusion that it was an IC issue and he’s always been a very good addition to the RP in the server great guy he should be unbanned now that he knows he made a mistake +1

Dude adds alot of RP to the server never knew him on this char but knew him on others and rp's great everyone makes mistakes and the only way to learn is having a second chance. +1 for ban appeal

When looking at someone, pressing C and then applying any heals, you end up healing yourself and not the person infront. Pls fix

Seen their RP in the townhouse and they got class, seems very Diamond Syndicate to me. Not a bad thing, but not the most original. Better than having carbon copy Italian faction #14. +1

ik you are tryna make a joke about being fat, but you are a retard

People leaving a dozen shipments floating in the air contributes to having more entities spawned in at once which isn't great. It also means in the event of a player/server crash or connection loss the user loses dozens of drugs which they then want compensation for. Other reasons not listed here. If your inventory is full what stops you from using a storage container or running off to sell while another batch is processing? The wait times havent changed at all, just the order in which you do things.

Imagine complaining and running to staff because you got killed in a VIDEO GAME........ what if we were playing cod and everytime you die you email activision staff smh. The whole point of this game is to KILL so why am I getting pulled into staff sits for doing it?

what football club does the wright family support?

sadly there are factions on the server like kosher and the lucchese discord sex family that do things like these. The best thing you can do as a player is to mug them as frequently as possible.

What is your ign?

answer the question.

Make the camera spit out a polaroid img in your inventory after you take a pic. Would provide real evidence ic without having to tab out to view images.

Your Character or Steam Name:Bide_fuze Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:713563728 Your Discord ID#: Bide_fuze406 Reason for ban:Yawn Length of ban: permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): I was just hoping on G mod looking for old fun servers I used to play I came across divergent networks and remembered all the fun i had. I loaded up the server to find I was permanently banned for "Yawn" I haven't played in probably over a year I don't recall what happened but I would like to fix it. If there's more notes saying what i did I would happily like to talk to someone. Why should you be unbanned? I'm not sure why I am even banned in the first place but I would like to find out.

+1 Absolutely. The dyno bot system makes a ticket incredibly annoying and makes them widely unenforced

tie him instead

Your Name: Bernie Gernie SteamID: 141524 Staff Member involved: Byte What was blacklisted from you?: PET Reason for blacklist (if given): Prop Flying Why should it be returned?: Got it today and it was super late ( around the time I am making this ticket ). Was just goofing off with the homies. Wasn't trying to cause any issues, and never do. Won't do it again and learned my lesson. I'm sorry.

5 days fo takin a lil few guns is crazy. Honest mistake. +1

+1 - Don't think he would have done this on purpose if he knew it was against server rules.

wouldnt have if i had realized it was against the rules (as i stated in the first post) i assumed the slack jawed 2nd grade education having cop that left it unlocked had made a mistake, making it an ic issue. merry christmas

ps maybe don't leave evidence lockers unlocked? food for thought

+1 Even with the OOC reasons I think it was an honest mistake regarding the server rule itself a time reduction is at least justified

i did crash out and i stand on that, dude brought up my family after i explained why i wasn't spending Christmas with my family. also you have -52 rep brotha.

+1 I believe it was an honest misunderstanding of the rules and his actions were out of ignorance and not malice. He’s a great guy, and adds a lot of value to the server.

Twas an honest mistake +1

+1 Sure, has stayed out of trouble for a while. Seems competent.

I metagame on every game I play. Why would I not use the most effective tool at my disposal? Such a strange set of rules that we’re held to on here.

Gotta kill the right way not the wrong way

+1 seems like great ideas. Ran into these guys a few times it was nothing but solid rp.

Your Character or Steam Name: GalleryWalk Your SteamID (Click to retrieve):https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199230740556/ Your Discord ID#: merrymav Reason for ban: RDM/ RDM PO x2/Alting DC Length of ban: Perm Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): apology Why should you be unbanned? Dear Canadian, or whoever this may reach. I am writing to apologize for my behavior on Mafia RP, specifically for minging and engaging in RDM and other weird and loser behavior. I fully accept that the actions I did were clearly broken of server rules and the standard set for this RP. I know I was a minge and I apologize. At the time, I failed to respect the roleplay rules and the class of other players put into keeping a fair experience. I understand that the RDM and disruptive behavior disregard the purpose of the roleplay which could create frustration for both players and mostly staff. I take full responsibility for what I have done and won't be making excuses for them. With the new year I want to take this chance to come back to Mafia RP and reset how I conduct myself in the server. Going forward i am committed to following all server rules and respecting roleplay cases and contributing positively to the community rather than ruining it. I am willing to review the rules again and accept any reasonable consequences you deem necessary. I respect the time and effort the staff team puts into keeping and maintaining the server fairly and I genuinely apologize for adding unnecessary trouble to your workload. I have gave my life to God and have changed from the annoying freshman I was. I am truly a changed person from around a year ago and have been clean. Thank you for taking the time to read this appeal and I hope to come back with improved behavior if given the opportunity. Its been about 8 months Sincerely, Maverick

+1 love the back story ive interacted with these guys numerous times, solid rp and awesome group of guys

+1 Unique ideas. Never seen a faction of this nature. It would be interesting.

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.

Turn the 7/12 into a functioning petrol station. This would increase realism and immersion on the server, create more possible roleplay scenarios, and help fight vehicle minging. Making 7/12 a petrol station would also help populate the upper side of the map, which isn’t really used most of the time. Giving players a reason to go there for fuel would naturally bring more activity to that area. A fuel system would help reduce vehicle minging. With the recent update to car repairs already taking a big step toward stopping people from just respawning cars, fuel would make vehicle minging even more expensive and inconvenient. 7/12 would also become a much more valued property. The owners could have workers who optionally fill up cars (similar to how it’s done in New Jersey), and players could tip them if they want. This would add small but immersive RP interactions. Another option would be to make 7/12 unownable and turn it into a convenience store. It could be robbable and sell things like food and vehicle-related items. Some items from the hardware store could possibly be moved there. Some other ideas this change would bring include another civilian job, the fuel deliverer. Shipments could spawn around the map at the request of a dealer, and workers could go pick up the shipments and drop them off at the 7/12. Portable fuel cans could also become a thing. You would be able to fill up cans of fuel and have them in your inventory incase your car runs out of fuel, could also be added to the pk system to burn bodies with. Companies could also create side businesses where people who run out of fuel can call a number to have their car refueled. There could also be a crime aspect added, such as the ability to siphon fuel from vehicles. This could use a system similar to lockpicking, with a 10–15 second timer. After that, you could start siphoning fuel into small fuel cans in your inventory, which could then be used for your own car or sold to an NPC.

the change had 0 input from players that actually recruit and it’s out of touch with how the game is currently played

Mr. Switch up

I tried this Omerta. I used to prop to get rid of the game breaking cassette and was instantly pulled into a mod sit where I was threatened to get what I paid for stolen from me. The mod got very emotional and was very unprofessional.

RICO shouldn't, and doesn't, need to return because, as others have said, it is simply too broad and powerful. This was the reason it was removed in the first place (among other issues with the FBI at the time). Instead, there should be systems or processes added to place that supplement the OOC rules to verify the integrity and reliability of evidence so that the hard work detectives do don't get voided at the last minute because of suspected metagame or powergame. Good place to start may be verifying with UA, before thorough investigations begin, that a certain confidential informant is actually a long-term player that would have realistic knowledge of a faction's high command identity/activities instead of an ordinary member with a mere grudge, or a new member with no knowledge of what they're really doing.

I just want to be called an FBI agent -Bobby Badge
