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

Like the title says, the shipment NPC system is as uninteractive as it gets, my idea was that HC of each faction would have specific phone numbers to plugs, they'd give those phone numbers out to whoever they want(reducing the amount of racket abuse). You'd type out the phone number on one of the payphones and you'd be able to order whatever shipments through that.

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):

Your Character or Steam Name: Chxnge Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:574656352 Your Discord ID#: 735907102140137524 Reason for ban: NITRP Length of ban: Perm Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? 6 months ago I received my second permanent ban, I want to give a sincere apology to the staff and community I affected with my selfish actions by constantly rdm baiting, having no intention to rp or get along with anyone on the server. I was usually just running around and mugging random people as a way to hustle my money but I would do these things in the wrong way (on newly made chars) and I would usually start problems with many businesses in the city. I genuinely want to apologize for my actions and the bad experience I gave to others, I would love for a second chance to prove that I've taken these 6 months into consideration and wont ruin this chance again. I honestly just want a new start mainly because I will not be causing problems and arguments with factions anymore, I was targeted by certain people in the community and was taking my anger out on people who didn't deserve it which was not okay of me. I got a brand new PC for Christmas and would love to come back to the diverge community, I would love to get hired somewhere and start a relationship with a faction that I can actually build many friendships with and make connections other than constantly making enemies. I miss the experience of diverge overall and will no longer take it for granted if I get another chance, I want my apology to be heard to all the staff members and members I affected even if this appeal gets denied. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): No

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.

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.

what football club does the wright family support?

who is surprised gay taxi’s server didnt work out?!???

Unplayable. Im going to jerk off.

keep these gone minge ass nigga

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.

Every time this gets suggested it gets denied. Kinda gay and cringe that people prefer the broken and unenforceable system instead.

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.

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.

I could see why you'd think this and I could also see why you wouldn't believe me If I told you we surely won't be doing that. Our goal is to bring diversity and fun rp to the city. I'd be more than happy to give you more details if interested. I appreciate your feed back and will take into account of things not to do.

You Forgot the mass raiding

Hey man, you have 2 notes for abusing your pet flags before just now. Jean Sirius made a ticket asking to get 2 people's names changed. When I teleported, I saw you flying on a saw blade. I told you when I was there, "Stop prop flying," and then continued to check your notes. You are claiming that I am targeting you when you did it right in front of my eyes. Just cause you are doing it in private doesn't protect you from the rules. People who fling cars get dealt with accordingly, just cause you don't see it happen doesn't mean they don't get punished for it. If you take the Diverge Rule Quiz, you can see that one of the questions deals with prop flying (Which ISN'T allowed)

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

-1 We have enough car chases as it is; why would we incentivize more chases while making them a slap on the wrist?

Hello! I can see that an argument got a little out of hand, regardless we cannot condone any of the actions that has happened. The lockers in PD are clearly in room that is marked Evidence, all lockers are only Whitelist locked for PD; those lockers are clearly meant to hold things that will be used IC'ly. We feel that your actions may have been motivated by hostility and therefore cannot let you off with a weaker sentencing. Please take some time to real/skim over the rules to get an understanding of this server. Under Robbery/Raiding Rules 9 it is very clear that any form of raiding or robbing of PD is prohibited. Having Said that...

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

+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.

I appreciate the feed back and I totally agree with restaurant rp. Our vision goes further than just your average bar, lounge or restaurant. If you'd like to get more info feel free to reach out. I hope to see you in the city and get some good rp going.

racket events are kinda like the situation with your brother, we never know if either of them will come back after what you did to him.

Being mentally slow and surviving third grade doesn't make you a disabled veteran, why do you always insist on attention seeking in the most random ways possible?

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.

bro i told u the other day, it literally already happened, no one just invited u to help lmao

Thankyou for your service

+1 Great ideas the auctions and block parties would be good for RP

More peaky blinder roleplayers who kill you for getting too close or for perceived 'disrespect"

Add a breeding press

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.

Hello, banning admin here! Let's go through this point by point as best we can with your sentence structure. 1) "PK hunting is subjective" - While this may be true, you gave us every reason to believe you are PK hunting. First, while in the sit with me you stated multiple times that your faction needs to remove minges if no one else will. When asked to clarify if removing was killing you reassured me it was. Don't know if you were just unaware of the rules or if it was a Freudian slip, but that is PK hunting. Second, your own clip that you submitted for a PK which can be found here. Please go to 37 seconds. What did you mean by "Perfect. He ran." OH! That's right! You were putting him under FearRP for the sole reason of you wanting him to run so you could PK him. Further reinforced by you taking the time to organize his inventory while in his pockets before only taking his radio. Finally, your own discord messages! Which can be found here. First, you gloat about another PK. Weird behavior for someone not hunting for PKs. When asked about it, you again admit you were just trying to PK them because you deemed them a minge. Finally, to add onto this circus, vigilantism is and has been against the rules for a very long time. You're criminals, act like one. If you have a problem with a minge follow proper escalation rules and send them to the hospital. If you can't be asked to do that, make a staff ticket. Staff will be the ones to actually deem if they're a problem. You are not staff. 2) "According to Byte "There are protections that citizens have so they cannot be mugged" and "You must mug people for profit" Which is completely wrong." - You're right! That is wrong, because it's not what I said. First, I said citizens have protections from criminal factions trying to just hunt them down and PK them. Second, you asked yourself is it okay to mug people for profits and I answered yes to your question. If you're going to twist words at best and lie at worst, at least make it make sense. Your own clips show you're not mugging for profit, so I'm curious why you even asked that but moving on to the protections. Yes, civilians have protections from criminal factions. Where does it say you can PK hunt them because they annoy you? Where does it say they can have faction leadership order their death for "general mingery."? 3) "There has been NO rule break, Byte is just being power-trippy because he doesn't like me for various reasons." - There's been multiple rule breaks. Your own actions, words, clips, and discord messages all showcase it. Also to me not liking you, who are you? I genuinely have no recollection of any prior encounters with you so I'm sorry you have the view. I hope you take this time to reflect on your actions and take it as an opportunity to grow into a contributing member of our community!

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
