  1. In-Game Name(s): Danny Silvershine, Daniel K. Park, Adrian Nakamura Steam Name: Psykho Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/RealPsykho/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:95772378 Discord Username: Psykho Age: 25 When did you first join the server: Back in December Total playtime on our Servers: 550+ Hours across all characters Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating? At least 15-20 hours per week, possibly more depending on volume and server needs. Have you read the rules? Yes. I’ve read through the general rules, PK guidelines, and a lot about general legal RP on the server. I also recently took a long-form quiz on the fundamental rules and passed with a high score. Do you have a working microphone? Yes, I have several working microphones. Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? Yes, I acknowledge this and will do my best to fulfill the needs of the community by meeting this quota. Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands? Not all of them entirely, but I am used to several admin-related systems and can adapt easily. Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff? Yes, I acknowledge that the truth is important. ___________________________________ Long Answer Questions: What is your motivation/reason for applying? My main motivation for applying is to enhance and protect the experience of my fellow players on Diverge. Roleplay can already be challenging at times, and I’ve personally experienced moments where I needed staff assistance but had trouble getting it. With over 8,400 hours in Garry’s Mod and a strong desire to help others, I feel a genuine sense of duty to give back to the community that has given me so many great moments. I want to be the reliable staff member who ensures everyone can enjoy their time on the server without unnecessary disruptions. Why should you be considered over other candidates? I believe I should be considered because I am highly accountable, have no ego, and maintain a strong growth mindset. I hold myself to high standards and am always hungry to learn more. Beyond general GMod experience, I bring deep knowledge from my roles in the Courts, Bar Association, police department, and both legal and illegal businesses- knowledge that not even some current admins possess. While I don’t see myself as better than anyone, I am confident in what I know and how I can contribute meaningfully to the staff team through my experience, merit, and dedication. Do you have any previous staffing experience? Yes. This server was built in part by Canadian Bacon, who I staffed with years ago. When we were teenagers, we both served as admins on a server called Chronet, handling in-game admin duties as well as forum work such as appeals and ban requests. I was there for at least a year, possibly closer to two. After Chronet, I staffed on several other Garry’s Mod servers, though I don’t remember every detail of those positions anymore. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why? No, I have never been banned or received any warnings or rule punishments on your servers. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you? Yes, I would say I am fairly well known in the community. Many players recognize my characters, whether as the fair/teacher cop Danny Silvershine, the prosecutor Daniel K. Park in the courtroom, or Adrian Nakamura as a lawyer, arms dealer, and mechanic. Across all of these roles I’ve focused on creating and empowering roleplay for others while treating everyone with kindness and respect. Even when there is in-character conflict, I never let it create out-of-character bias. I believe most community members see me as fair, consistent, and someone who genuinely enjoys bringing positive energy to the server. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far? I have quite a few favorite moments, but the ones that stand out the most are the times I’ve been promoted, whether it was at the District Attorney’s Office, within the police department, or inside various crime factions. There’s something very satisfying about seeing all the hard work and dedication pay off and get officially acknowledged by the community and leadership. Have any staff members recommended you? Not at this time. I haven’t made any staff members aware that I’ve applied yet. I plan to reach out privately to those I know for support once this application is submitted. I prefer not to name-drop or create any sense of open bias, that’s simply not how I like to conduct myself. ___________________________________ Problem Solving: Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this? If I am able to hop on duty without interrupting important roleplay, I will do so and take the ticket directly. If I am currently in the middle of active roleplay, I will keep an eye on the ticket queue and the flow of tickets being accepted by on-duty staff. Once my roleplay concludes, if the ticket is still open, I will request that the player remake the ticket so I can take it properly while on duty. If the admin system allows for better handling of off-duty situations, I will quickly learn and adapt to that method to ensure the situation is addressed efficiently and fairly. 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? The first step I would take is to speak with them privately in a calm and respectful manner. There may be context I’m unaware of, and addressing it directly like a fellow team member can often resolve the issue without escalating unnecessarily. I would explain what I’ve observed and give them the opportunity to clarify or correct the behavior. If the issue continues after our conversation, I would then escalate it to higher staff following proper protocol, always prioritizing the integrity of the staff team and the community. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. How do you proceed knowing this? It doesn’t matter how well I know the person or what my personal experience with them is- everyone must be treated fairly and equally under the rules. If no other staff member is available to take the ticket and it falls to me, I will handle it with complete impartiality, judging only based on the evidence and server rules. If at any point I feel that my personal connection could create even the appearance of bias, I will immediately disclose this to fellow staff members and recuse myself from the ticket to ensure fairness. Maintaining trust in the staff team is more important than any personal relationship.

  2. Name of Character: Arturo Bonanno Character ID: I don't remember SteamID: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Jitq/ Your Discord ID#: ibullets. Date of PK: April 10th Reason for PK: I think involvement in a PK Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: So for starters, I'm not entirely sure what I was PK'd for because when I was pulled to an admin sit they just said I was dying. This is from my understanding; I was PK'd because a Bonanno hitman PK'd Declan Kinahan because somebody reached out and asked for help. How we got him set active was Alfredo Zappa went and spoke to the Boss of the Irish Mob and he wrote orders to Zappa, I then was DM'd the screenshot of these orders and forwarded them to Yugi for convenience sake because Yugi was already DMing me earlier. So Gerry Bucco takes out Declan and Zappa tries to save Gerry from Silvano Altoviti so he begins shooting him, they both die. Silvano then runs to the top of Napoli and shoots and kills me from across the street, thats is when I was pulled to an admin sit by Yugi and was told I am being PK'd. I was just told to appeal the PK by Pendred and some other parties, I don't really expect an unPK but it is worth a shot. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines:

  3. Hello person who pked you here! Reason I knew you were up there is: You were actively shooting down at me while I was already engaged in a gunfight with two other people that I had just dealt with. I physically saw your head peeking over the edge of the roof multiple times confirming someone was holding the angle up there. On top of all of this I could clearly identify the bullet trails coming from the roof leading to me to hide around the wall near the bush. I can also tell based on the weapon it was a MPL being fired from above me from your roof. This wasnt all a guess it was a repeated fire coming from that exact rooftop leading to me having the rights to shoot whoever was up there (Confrimed with staff first). Because of all this I had a choice to push the rooftops and clear them as you were a active threat to my life considering my UB just got PKed. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/muee57L43YSTfEod3?invite=cr-MSx2amMsMjUwOTg2Mzg3&v=18 Here is a clip of this interaction. You can clearly see me turn to the rooftops where you shot me from.

  4. Name of Character: Ralphael Faggocini Character ID: Unknown SteamID: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199169798431/ Your Discord ID#: iYB Date of PK: 04/12/2026 Reason for PK: Coup? Unknown exact reason Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: Many gaps I see in my these orders and the pk being carried out. 1. No-one was talking about couping, the conversation was who should take over as Don since ours died and I had said I supported the current UB. I never said I had interest in killing any of the upper management nor taking a seat at the high table or confirmed myself to be gunning for that position. Another thing is that the UB and Consig are not even arguing about who should get the spot, this fuck Mental just wanted to pk me for the fun of it (lick my hairy nuts Mental). Apparently he went to the consig after our talk and told him I wanted to kill him. I never said that, no clip is to be shown because there’s no evidence of me saying it because I did not want him dead. Again, this was him fishing to kill me. 2. The people involved in this matter have just been pk’d and are not allowed to rejoin the faction within a week. They were actively dealing with the consig and appeared to be working under him, coming on the hit after me, being apart of these talks about “who deserves power”. He is probably the guy who actually received the orders and passed them along. 3. You may not perform hits for a faction that you have an alternate character in. (Do it on the main character). The person who killed me (Askull) is not a bonanno main, hes simply there to kill me and has his Colombo mained. He does not have bonanno discord roles or main char role either. 4. A lot of the “family pk rules” mention “Don”, an example would be “You may be asked to provide proof of any claims. However a Don/Boss is able to order his subordinates to be killed without much oversight.” ■ Attempted Mutiny or ‘takeover’ of a gang must be approved by a member of UA If this is what got me pk’d ^ it’s not valid bc couping requires majority of the faction on your side/having the backing of high command. The main problem with this pk is that there were no actual real problems. Just people looking to kill me. This pk should be accepted on the ground of 1. No plans on couping (if the orders state I was and was planning to kill the consig) 2. I was killed by a non-mained character, rules state I must be. 3. Involvement of people faction locked for a week 4. No real conflict. Now I’m expecting the “you accepted the risks of joining the organization and your subject to be killed” — We don’t have a boss right now, I stated I back the underboss’s decisions which I got killed for even though there’s not an active coup or struggle for power, and there was no true conflict. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: Only thing I have is the pk clip but that only shows I was killed by a non main bonanno which that alone should be solid ground to justify this pk appeal. Ralphie Faggs deserves to see the streets again!

  7. Hey all, I'm taking the time to write out something that has been on my mind pretty much since the last racket event or when I made my last post about punishment scaling in the events. I think the server could really benefit from having some kind of in-character way to get rid of felonies, instead of it just being pardoned or donation-related stuff. Right now if you catch a felony, you’re kinda just stuck with it for a while. It doesn’t really create RP, it just limits what you can do until your either dead or pay father pendred. Stuff that already exists could be used: Doing city jobs / labor work (trash, maintenance, whatever!) Taxi driving for a certain amount of rides or time Fishing at the docks and turning in fish as like a “city quota” Nothing crazy complicated, just tasks that add up over time, and that take a certain amount of time. Add PD Ride-Alongs as a Way to Work Off Felonies Just adding onto the idea of being able to work off felonies, I think it’d be cool if PD ride-alongs were also an option. Not as a main method, but like another path people could take depending on the situation. What I mean Let people with certain felonies do a ride-along with PD and have that count toward reducing it. Nothing crazy just something structured. How it could work You get approved for it (probably by PD HC or a judge) You ride with an officer for a set amount of time You’re expected to actually listen, follow instructions, not mess around etc. If you waste time or troll, you just get removed from this process entirely no retries and it doesn’t count. Again like my last post, these are all suggestions and Im open to hear what the community thinks. Thank you, Baiited.

  11. Ban Appeal - matt^ Character or Steam Name: matt^ SteamID: 76561198141191082 Discord ID#: therealboogieboy Reason for ban: Metagaming/Ban Evasion Length of ban: 24hrs/perma Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Firstly, I'd like to begin my reason for appeal by apologizing for my actions that have caused this ban. I understand that my initial ban was due to metagaming. I have reconciled and now have grown more knowledge on how to create a positive roleplay environment within the server. My actions affected both the community and staff. Secondly, the ban on evasion. I joined on my alt account, already thinking my ban was up. I wanted to begin on a new account to close the chapter on everything that had happened previously. I made a mistake thinking my ban was up an hour before it actually was. I can assure you that this mistake won't happen again, as I will not put myself in a situation for that to occur. If I am given another chance, I will make sure to adhere to and also educate others on the server rules if I see others making infractions. I have really enjoyed my time on this server. This community has been an outlet for new friendships and memories. If I do receive another chance, I will prove my ability to contribute to a positive environment. Why should you be unbanned?: I believe that I should be unbanned due to the time I have dedicated to reflecting on my actions, as well as my time understanding the rules further. I understand that both of the reasons I was banned have a negative impact on the experience of others. My actions undermined the rules of this server. My regret is immense as I understand the effects my actions have caused others. I’m not pursuing this ban appeal without reason. I ask for your forgiveness because I have now committed myself to changing my behavior. If allowed back, I will make sure to follow all rules as well as respect staff decisions. I do understand that trust has to be earned, and I am very willing to prove myself to everyone that I can do better. I have really enjoyed being a part of this community, and I would appreciate the opportunity to re-integrate into the server and show my peers that this was a one-time mistake.

  13. Your Character or Steam Name: Medinator Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): Your Discord ID#: medinator Reason for ban: char abuse Length of ban: 4 days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute Why should you be unbanned?: i gave away my bank account to saurkraut which had over 1-2 million worth of items 10+ suits and among the crowd of items was a mint suit, i was gifted out of support of my new endeavors another copy of a mint suit which was a major surprise to me and incredibly excited for and now its being declared as "item transfer/char abuse" which i believe is a really hard stretch as there was legit no conversation around the suit and purely a surprise moment as he just gave it to me im not saying theres an inherent bias behind the ban but it couldve been literally ANYONE else that isnt currently involved with the drama that is taking place in the server which heavily involves me and the banning members faction after speaking with the banning person they say how it overall looks suspicious but cannot mention official ground that there was anything illicit behind it which kinda just doesnt make sense to ban over suspicion especially when its under the factors of the current drama present Additional Information (images, videos, etc): N/A

What server rule or PK rule was violated?: The reasoning is completely invalid as ive never once touched their faction funds (Which are all in the hands of their current underboss) as well as i was given permission by the current don to leave the faction. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines:

  16. Hello, Pking Admin Here You were indeed PK’d for your involvement during a hit. From the clips I have reviewed, you attempted to kill an individual during an active PK situation, which led to them confirming with staff whether they could also kill you. As you mentioned, you were then assassinated from rooftop to rooftop. The rules relevant to this situation are as follows, directly copied from the PK Guidelines, which form the basis of my decision. Being killed while trying to PK someone If you are attempting to PK someone, you are also considered PK active during the hit. This means that if you are attempting to kill, or have just killed, the victim but are then killed yourself, you are also subject to a PK. Therefore, you should not be reckless when carrying out these serious actions. This includes being killed by a third party acting in defense of the victim, or by a police officer attempting to apprehend you shortly after the hit takes place. As the hitman, your objective is to carry out the hit and escape the area, remaining hidden for the next 15 minutes. You may not disconnect until this minimum timer has expired, and doing so to avoid death will result in a PK for LTAP. During the hit, you, Arturo Bonnano, opened fire on the individual who had killed your ally. This satisfied the criteria for acting in defence of a victim. After failing to kill him, you were then killed by the same individual due to your participation in the PK.

  18. The server needs a better crafting system. It’s been bland for a long time and it feels like it’s always the same exact stuff a few pistols, armor, gold, and silver. After a while it gets boring and there’s no real reason to even bother crafting. It would be way more fun if there were more variety like random craftable items that rotate daily or weekly and keep them limited like how people buy them from the vendors, That would keep things fresh and give people something new to work toward all the time. It would also help players who don’t have a ton of money, because they’d have a chance to grind and craft cool stuff instead of always being stuck with basic shit. Adding things like rarer guns, explosives, and other cool items would make crafting actually feel exciting and worth doing. It would give people more reasons to play and keep the server feeling more alive.

  20. In-Game Name(s): Senior Officer Bruno Giang & Xiao Yang Steam Name: Asian Runt Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/197897981273872389127/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:157547884 Discord Username: runt0245 Age: 20 When did you first join the server: February 20th, 2026 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 1 week, 2 days, 9 hours, and 56 minutes Time Zone: Mountain Standard Time How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: I can do roughly 2 hours on week days and 3 hours on weekend. 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?: Yes. 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?: I like to consider myself a people person and I tend to pursue conflict through the least problematic way possible while still ensuring that all parties involved are pleased. I also have a long experience in administration for roleplaying servers on Garry's Mod and through out that time, I was able to figure out my preferred way of administrating and dealing with a variety of situations after faults and successes. With that experience, I also acknowledge I am accountable for my actions and can understand when I have both done something correct or something wrong and I am willing to learn from both. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I have a large past experience in administrating, my ability to work in a team based environment, while also taking gentle yet firm approaches when resolving situations. I have worked on dozens of servers as administration and have figured out my preferred way of staffing and whilst helping out the various communities, I understood how it now feels to be on both ends of a deal, meaning I want to ensure people who come to the server and are brought before administration are satisified when leaving. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Crix Networks Police RP: Trial Moderator, Moderator, Admin, Super Admin, Staff Manager, Community Manager, and Network Advisor for about 1 year. Never Stop Gaming Police RP: Moderator and Admin for about 6 months Shadow Gaming Military RP: Admin for about 6 months Shadow Gaming Police RP: Admin for about 6 months (Military and PoliceRP were up at the same time) North Star PMC RP: Zeus (Game Master and Admin) Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I am mainly an NYPD player. I have been told multiple times that I am well known in the aspect of law. My other character was in the 14K before being killed off but I was told by members before being killed that I was liked and funny, although sometimes unruly at times but I feel that it was never constant and it is something that can easily be turned off. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: My favorite moments have to be when everyone gathers in one area and they all just talk about themselves. I am a very social person so when it comes to social gatherings and just talking to talk, I am all there for it. I love hearing about everyone's very drastic experiences in both real life and in the server and then people still finding a way to relate to it. It's the beauty of a gaming community. Where people with such wild and different lives all come together all because they have one common enjoyment, and it's roleplaying. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Pendred ------------------------------------------------- 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?: I would first ask another on duty member to take priority and if there is already someone looking in to it, I would send my recording via Medal and send it in. If it was a situation that did not directly affect me then I would take the ticket as a last resort. 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?: Get any evidence that I can gather whether it be screen shots, recordings, or statements, and send it to upper administration. 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?: When dealing with situations, there is no room for bias. To ensure that someone does not get the wrong image of the situation, I would ask for someone not in my faction to take the situation however just as previously mentioned, if I did not witness it and can play devil's advocate, I would check logs to see who first issued damage, I would ask the reporting individual if there is any evidence that they have, and if not I would release both parties while still remaining on duty and watching from afar while cloaked to see if it is reoccurring.

  31. In-Game Name(s): Patrick G. Kennedy, Joey Giordano, Assistant District Attorney Declan Duffy, Senior Officer Xi Yaobang, Commerce Regulator Thomas J. Gallagher Steam Name: Patr1ck_K3nnedy Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Patrick_Kennedy Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:185033303 Discord Username: therollingminecart Age: 19 When did you first join the server: 2022 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): I am writing this while on a train out of town, so I don’t have the exact number, but I had over a month of playtime the last time I checked. Time Zone: CST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: I am doing school online, so quite a bit. Have you read the rules?: I have Do you have a working microphone?: I do 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?: I am 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?: I am applying for staff because I am often on very late at night where there will still be 40-60 people on the server, but often no staff. I see minges beating people with bats or repeatedly breaking NLR with no staff to stop them; sometimes I’ll want to make a PK ticket or report ltarp and there is will be no staff on to take the ticket. I’d like to help out by being available during those times where other staff are sleeping, and I think having staff available at those times would also encourage people to RP more during those hours as some people avoid being on at late hours due to the lack of moderation. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I think I should be considered over other candidates because I thoroughly know the rules, because I have been long enough to know how the rules are supposed to be applied, and because of my availability. More than just reading the rules, I have learned the technicalities and specifics of how rules are supposed to be applied and the expectations that UA have for how and when rules should be enforced, from the simple cases of things like RDM and LTARP, to lesser-known rules regarding the government and the courts. I have learned the rules very well, will conduct myself well, and I am already familiar with nutscript commands and the stick. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I have never been staff on a “major” server before, so I honestly don’t remember any server names, but I have been staff on some crappy nutscript startups, which at least allowed me to become familiar with all the commands. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have not been banned before. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I am certainly well-known in the community, some people love me, some people not so much. From running the City Council and my Newspaper/News Show years ago, to being the District Attorney for a while, to being a Capo in the commission up until a couple months ago, I think I am at least decently well-known in every crevice of our community. I'm certainly known for doing good RP in general, and have a pretty good reputation besides one kind of half exception regarding a few people in PD who still dislike me because of some of the more unorthodox RP I did as DA. Overall though, I am known enough in the community, my reputation is generally pretty good, and the only people who think down of me is because of RP beef, which is cringe to take across characters. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: I am not sure if I could say one favorite moment here on Diverge. I’ve enjoyed lots of RP, from conducting independent criminal investigations as a cop, to going to all sorts of parties as a mafioso, to hitting the mattresses and going to war as a criminal. Honestly, much of my fun on Diverge comes from hanging out with and talking to other people. The server has a slower pace than most places and people aren’t constantly in conflict, and I think that’s one of the things that makes this place so great. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: I was playing in the middle of the night I believe last week, and there was a console message saying to put Pendred as a recommendation if I was on late enough to see it; that’s the main reason i’m applying. ------------------------------------------------- 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 someone RDMs me and I am off-duty, I would take a clip and ask a different member of staff to handle the situation. Unless I am the only staff on, I think handling it myself would be inappropriate. 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 see another staff member abusing, I would clip the abuse and screenshot any pertinent logs before sending the evidence to an appropriately high staff member. 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?: If I am handling an RDM ticket and my friend is accused of RDM and minging, I would proceed like any other staff sit. I would ask for a clip and reference everything with the logs and then punish him if necessary. I will treat all players, friends or not, the same when it comes to staff members, and any friends I have that get mad that I warn/ban them for RDM when they do RDM are too dumb to be my friend.

  32. Faction Conflict Guidelines Last updated 27/09/2025 The following document serves to outline the rules and regulations of conflicts between factions, how they work, and information to be aware of. This thread is most relevant to faction leaders. What is a conflict? A Conflict occurs when two or more factions recognize a transgression or incident which can lead to tensions and possible fighting. Conflicts are best resolved through diplomacy and sit downs to determine what wrongdoings occurred and who is at fault. For all claims of transgressions evidence would be required. The incident should be recorded with a plethora of context around it. All conflicts must follow the proper escalation steps as described below or their validity will be ignored and users can receive bans for breaking rules in an attempt to press a false conflict. Alliances and Agreements Alliances or allied factions can come to the aid or defence of your faction when you find yourself in an active conflict, fighting on your behalf, providing security for sit-downs or filling a plethora of other roles. Agreements like alliances or conflict resolution agreements can be made with other factions to define the terms of a business dealing. Such as the creation of a district, creation of an alliance, outline of set territory with an enemy or an agreed amount of tax to resolve a conflict. An agreement document (OOC document) is created, signed by both sides and is presented jointly to server Upper Administration to be ratified as binding. Alliances are limited to a maximum of 5 factions. (Mega alliances may not team up together, defeats the point of the limit) (This limit includes districts, a district is regarded as an ally, a vassal you own, but an ally nonetheless) This will increase amount of diplomacy Roleplay and prevent the server from splitting into two massive alliances (Boring!) [Added benefit of reducing number of puppet factions] Territories A Territory is a section of the city divided by certain criminal boundary lines. If your alliance controls more than half the buildings in a given territory the territory can be considered 'belonging' to your alliance. Other areas where no one alliance controls more than half is 'contested'. If your alliance owns a territory you may create territory rules and include them in your alliance agreements to dictate realistic territory rules. (ex: No muggings, no selling drugs in public, etc) These rules must be approved and ratified by Server Management. More than half means over 50%, so 3/4, not 2/4 for majority. Territory map (subject to change in the future) Possible reasons for conflicts Here are just a few examples of scenarios that can cause a problem between factions. Disrespect Disrespect between bosses or capos/made men while being quite minor and would not warrant any real violence can still sour relations between the high commands of competing factions. A sit-down would be effective at resolving this. Excessive targeted muggings / muggings in territory Being targeted for muggings or having muggings occur in your faction/alliance’s pre-agreed upon territory could be a clear provocation for escalations in conflict. A sit down and possible tax or a demand to turn over the perpetrator(s) would be logical for such offences. Impeding business Attempting to interfere or impede on another faction's business. For example if you have a pre signed agreement to not host events or sell certain products in their territory and you knowingly push to their customer base regardless or make back door deals violating previous no trade agreements you could be liable for impeding on the other faction's business. Murder For example, if a man in your organization left the faction without consent in order to join another faction and you were to murder him for that, his new faction could take issue with the killing and demand repayment for the loss of their earner. A sit down before the hit would clear up any confusion and get you the go ahead to perform the kill. [And Many more reasons possible] Sit-downs and meetings Sit downs and meetings are the most effective way of bringing a conflict under control or even bringing it to an end by defining what occurred and who is owed what in terms of compensation. These meetings are also beneficial for laying out agreements, deals and territory lines BEFORE they become an issue, anticipating problems and solving them through diplomacy is the mark of a good leader, as conflict only brings death and a pause in the business of making money. Types of sit-downs Internal sit-downs Inter-Alliance sit-downs Standard Faction sit-down Alliance wide sit-down Internal sit-downs occur inside your given faction. These are between two members of the same faction generally mediated by the Don or underboss. No escalation, UA reporting or recording is mandatory in these cases. Inter-Alliance sit-downs occur between two factions of the same Alliance, usually mediated by an Alliance leader or uninvolved third party mediator. They aim to resolve inter alliance disputes and keep the alliance running peacefully, they also enforce the alliance agreement. UA reporting and recording is optional; if the issue persists and escalation is required then it becomes mandatory. Standard Faction sit-downs occur between two singular factions (no allies involved). They aim to bring and solve grievance two factions from other alliances may have with one another, this is a one-on-one encounter. UA reporting on the initial issue / first sit-down is optional, recording is mandatory. Should the issue not be resolved UA reporting becomes mandatory in order for any escalation attempts to be seen as valid. Alliance wide sit-downs occur between two alliances representing each member of the respective alliance, this usually occurs when a Standard Faction sit-down escalates to a point where UA approves allies/alliances to get involved. All UA reporting and recording is mandatory. General sit-down instructions All sit downs must occur in-game. DMs, voice channels or any other means of OOC communication is not permitted and not binding. You may only use DMs to coordinate the time and place of a meeting. If you are unable to attend a meeting you set and agreed upon then send a representative in your place, failing to show up to multiple meetings can and will be considered avoiding roleplay. All meetings should be recorded by both parties and/or should have a member of UA present to observe. The contents of the meetings that are agreed upon terms, i.e. any deal you make should be written into a document, signed by both parties and then submitted to UA in a support ticket in order to ratify it, and confirm consequences for whomever breaks it. Meetings can/should include an unbiased mediator. This mediator is a neutral unbiased party who generally provides an objective opinion, neutral meeting ground and sometimes security for meetings between two opposing factions. Both parties should agree on a neutral mediator, it can be the boss of another faction (useful for inter-alliance issues) or if no player can be agreed upon to mediate both parties may request a member of UA to act as the mediator. The mediator can help determine the facts, inform factions of who did what and what transgressions were actually committed as well as assisting in reaching a logical and reasonable settlement agreement. Refusing a sit down is contextual and can lead to further escalations. However, refusing sit downs immediately and making zero attempts to resolve a situation diplomatically is Fail RP. If no attempts were made to have sit downs or escalate through proper RP and were never logged by UA, your request will be denied. Escalation Conflicts that don’t reach an instant resolution can begin to escalate, this is a negative thing for BOTH factions as the longer a conflict lasts, the more it escalates and the more money they both begin to lose. All level escalations must be approved by UA. MAKE A TICKET These are the general ‘levels’ to escalations. Level 0: Transgression is noted One faction recognizes a problem/transgression with the other and collects evidence of the incident, they then create a support ticket to inform UA about the possible conflict and contact the faction they have the issue with to organize a sit down to speak about it. A Mediator is not necessarily required at this stage but one may be required if the issue is quite contentious. [No UA reporting required] Level 1: The first sit-down Provided the transgression is minor and both faction leaders are good at what they do then most conflicts will not escalate past this point. Both factions will have met and discussed the issue and outlined an agreement to resolve the problem. Should they fail to do so they may schedule another sit down with a mediator to hash it out properly. [Should this not be an internal alliance issue then UA reporting is needed] Level 2: The simmer The second sit down will occur with an agreed upon mediator to help hash out the facts of the case and both factions will have support tickets open with UA so they may submit any relevant evidence and keep management up to date on the status of the conflict. During the time between the first meeting to the second the two factions may put their business with the opposing faction on pause, halting trades and other events or niceties until the situation is resolved. 95% of conflicts should be resolved by the second sit down unless the issue is so atrocious that proper settlement terms cannot be reached. [All UA reporting mandatory beyond this point] Level 3: Boiling point A failure of the second meeting is the boiling point and by now bad blood has likely formed, small breakouts of violence are likely to occur, bar fights, obscenities maybe even some road rage or the occasional out of territory mugging. At level 3 or higher sit-downs can occur whenever either side agrees to do one, however the longer the conflict goes unresolved the more money both sides begin to lose. From level 3 and onward either faction can request UA to escalate the conflict in either of their respective tickets. (Failure of sit downs and proof of fault is most effective when requesting escalations) Level 4: Brothers Spat Third sit-down is required. At this level target mugging (on your main characters…) the opposing faction is fair game and barring rivals from your establishments is expected. Loitering or graffiti may also become commonplace but tolerating loitering is also less practised. Both sides will seek to annoy and harass the other to the dismay of both the police and your suppliers. While this stage of escalation allows you to openly harass the opposing faction it also strains your business, as your suppliers don’t want the extra heat your shipment arrival times and shipment costs increase 25%. Business is impacted. Level 5: Wave of Violence Fourth sit-down required. At this level the violence is palpable. Shootings of properties and businesses may become commonplace and will not be considered a raid. Shipment arrival times and shipment costs increase by 50% of the original amounts. More attention from police means your suppliers may request cash or certain amounts of drugs / weapons as payment in order to keep operating, failure to meet these payments could see additional vendor penalties apply and possibly have your faction lose access to selling certain drugs. Individuals responsible for the initial cause of the conflict can have hits (PKs) placed against them. (For instance if the conflict stemmed from a certain member target mugging and the offending faction had refused to hand him over. Seek UA approval for these hits.) Level 6: Defcon 2 This level can be reached if more than 3 sit-downs have occurred and failed. At this level you are basically a few days if not less from hitting the mattresses, your suppliers disappear seeking to wait the impending conflict out. At this level you may firebomb the rival properties to put them out of commission and cause significant financial harm as well as openly target one member of their high command for a PK hit. Level 7: War Level 7 is war. You know how war goes. Your factions are fully blocked from selling drugs to any NPC as the sellers aim to not choose sides. War lasts until one side falters or until an agreed win condition must be met. UA has final say if war is approved or not and can end it at any time. Taxation / Compensation This will be a loose guide on how to consider and value certain transgressions in the event you decide to impose a tax instead of other diplomatic routes. (Tax is NOT your only option, it’s just common) Note that tax can also be labelled ‘compensation’ as the term tax can have a more negative and un-diplomatic connotation. There will also be a max escalation level to help determine the severity of which the transgression can be escalated to, within reason. Every time a tax is refused and the escalation increases a level you may apply an additional 10% to the originally proposed tax amount. (Inform UA!) Disrespect [0 - 10k] - Max escalation Level 1 Disrespect of a boss or made men. No one cares if a group of associates or soldiers are insulted, it’s part of their job. Should someone, capo and above, intentionally go out of their way to insult other made men or bosses a transgression for disrespect can be considered and either a tax or apology demanded depending on the severity of the disrespect [If both men insulted each other it’s also useful to simply squash the beef]. Generally factions you are neutral with or in an alliance with will take this seriously. A faction you are opposed to likely won’t care. Graffiti, loitering, general mischief [1k - 50k] - Max escalation Level 3 People oftentimes like to annoy members of the opposing faction and should this prove to be an action repeated by the same identified members a faction may take issue and ask for those involved to be taxed or disciplined. An annoying enough slight that warrants beatings but nothing worth damaging business over. Muggings / Target muggings [Value of items loss + ~20% | provable loss] - Max escalation Level 5 Muggings or muggings in your territory that you can prove are being intentionally perpetrated by a member of the opposing faction can be a big problem. You are entitled to demand the individual be punished, handed over for punishment or have punishment sanctioned (Especially if they got someone on your side killed - See Manslaughter) or you may ask for an apology and tax the provable and agreed upon value of the items stolen plus 20% as a fee for the trouble. This has the possibility of escalating hard but after a while it is just items and you’re better off solving it than allowing it to affect your entire organization's profit margins. Territory / Business Violations [100k - 500k] - Max escalation Level 5 Territory violations meaning the faction repeatedly violates pre-set rules both sides agreed to OR violated inherent territory (Like literally ON/IN your property) or place of business. From fucking with your staff / customers or marching in your territory with weapons out or on safety to intentionally violate your security and cause a conflict. I.E. Large coordinated flexing. A serious disrespect like this can escalate the conflict but should violence be kept to a minimum it can be resolved in the end. Violation of Contract / Agreement [Depends] - Max escalation level 6 This purely depends on the terms of the agreement both parties signed and UA ratified. Usually the agreement will include what the possible consequences are for breaking the agreement. For example if some faction becomes a district and breaks that or joins an alliance and breaks that alliance they may be taxed a certain pre-agreed upon amount as outlined in the agreement. Manslaughter [up to 2.5 million] - Max Level escalation Level 5 Manslaughter is different from murder as it is technically an accidental killing. For example if your member is target mugging and ends up killing a member of the opposing faction, the murder wasn’t the original intention but it occurred. The opposing faction can request they perform a sanctioned hit as retaliation / revenge or demand he be handed over. Should they decide not to seek blood they may attempt to value the killed man’s life based on his rank in the faction. The higher the position the more it may cost to keep the situation hush hush. The lower the position the less money and likelihood the conflict escalates. Murder [up to 5 million] - Max Level escalation Level 6 Murder is different from manslaughter as it is an intentional killing, meaning the person did something to warrant being killed and instead of having a sitdown with that faction you acted without consulting them and murdered their man. The opposing faction can request they perform a sanctioned hit as retaliation / revenge or demand the killer be handed over. Should they decide not to seek blood they may attempt to value the killed man’s life based on his rank in the faction. The higher the position the more it may cost to keep the situation hush hush. The lower the position the less money and likelihood the conflict escalates. Unpaid Loan [Total Amount of Loan + 10% interest per week unpaid] - Max Level escalation Level 6 Factions with bad management that take out insane loans can be penalized for the amount they owe plus interest via an alliance enforced tax. Should they fail to pay after several weeks the opposing faction may have the right to PK the person who took the loan. (Requires close observation from UA) Other - Consult UA Note that Max escalation can be bypassed with stacking reasons of higher Max level and/or if you reach a level where PK is permitted and is actually carried out. NOTE: Smaller less serious conflicts can maybe take place instead for instances of lower escalation, like instead of a bar fight leading to an all out 5v5 war the two factions can have a 1v1 conflict of firebombing / bar fights for a week. etc etc Subject to future changes or updates

  33. your Name: Jerome Fronto, Luis "Luu" Daniels and Jack Smith SteamID: STEAM_0:1:429723822 Staff Member involved: Byte What was blacklisted from you?: Prop permissions Reason for blacklist (if given): Prop abuse / fail RP with pet flags Why should it be returned?: I believe my prop permission should be returned to me because I forgot to do "/me starts spray painting building". I now realize that I need to do "/me" whenever I'm going to spray paint a building and do it in a more realistic spot Also, I do know that that was not my first sit made about me using props. The other day I made a dupe for the ghetto and in that dupe, I made a ladder so I can get over the fence. The admin told me that it was unexpectable, but I thought it was ok because in the prop perm rules it says, "Prop climb includes spawning props out of nowhere in order to reach areas you wouldn't be realistically able to get up to." It only mentions it being a place that you wouldn't normally be able to get up to. not crossing a fence to get to a spot that is already in the game. I just don't think my prop perms should have been taken away for this it was a misunderstanding both times and I apologize.

  40. Theres so much potential with the crafting system its actually mind blowing along with it creating a more actual set economy around crafting items, silver, gold bars etc actual purpose for people to be searching through trashcans, paying civilians to obtain them goods etc I use to have a whole operation of farming weapon parts with people, growing weed etc and with a more flushed out system it could become a whole "business" opportunity around factions to do other things and work as a collective there could also be a cycling out system of once and a while a rare opportunistic craft this also would just prevent people from farming for holiday events and remove a lot of bloat items just floating around in banks etc

  42. 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.

  46. Your Character or Steam Name: Rain Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:558628467 Your Discord ID#: money.blue Reason for ban: "MRDM" ??? Length of ban: Perm Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute Why should you be unbanned? I'm barely seeing the ban reason now, because right as they banned me I just got off but during the whole sit they said I was RDM baiting because I had shot a dude that punched my friend. Now it's MRDM? Anyways, I'd like to point out the fact that I feel I was wrongfully and biasedly banned. While I was shooting at the volpe guys I was instantly froze and brought to another rooftop by adam (well known commission altoviti HC). And he asked me why I am RDM baiting, I explained how I wasn't and that the volpe guys punched my friend so that's why I shot the guy. I'd like to point out that I had previously went on the La Volpe balcony way before this whole shootout went down and we had no issues what so ever, I even asked one of them how they are doing and they respectfully told me that the balcony is staff only for right now. (However I didn't tell this to henry, the guy who got punched) so he wasn't even aware of the whole situation. After I was pulled to the sit, Novi (altoviti main who had absolutely nothing to do with the sit) instantly came on his staff character to make bias comments that benefit his faction/alliance, aswell as another guy who was on his wop character, he was staff but I don't know which one it was. Sure, Zeus was the one handing out the bans, but adam was the one that told Zeus to perma ban me, also why did almost every single member of Underground Association get a note for RDM? Yumeko even got a note and she hadn't even killed anybody. The staff that handled the situation were bias as fuck and only cared to benefit their factions and not the fairness of other players. I just simply dont see the RDM bait in the shooting that occured last night, they wanted to punch my friend henry for who knows what reason and then when I shoot them they report it. This could've easily been handled IC and not taken OOC especially with all the conflict that has been going on in the city. Additional Information (images, videos, etc):
