In-Game Name(s): Afrim Bajrami, Francezo Capri, Salvatore "The Saint" Corallo, Cesare Genovese, Gennaro Aiello Steam Name: Actual Sauerkraut Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198362776636/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:201255454 Discord Username: sauerkraut9103 Age: 17 When did you first join the server: November 7th 2024 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 1mo, 3w, 6d, 5h, 51m Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time (EST) How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: During weekdays, around 8 hours a day, on weekends, 12-16 hours (I am unemployed) 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 ------------------------------------------------- What is your motivation/reason for applying?: My main motivation for applying is I want to better the server that I play on every day. There are way too many minges that roam around and hardly get punished, this goes the same with long time members of the server, way too many people with make alt characters to go around, talk shit, cause issues, RDM and RDM bait. I've been an active member on this server for over a year now, and the amount of rulebreaks that I have witnessed in my time and they get away with it, it's honestly unbelievable. I also feel like most of the time when a staff member is on, they only want to reach the minimum tickets required for quota and not actually try to help the server that they play on. It's unbelievable how braindead some staff are and completely oblivious to the rules of the server. I feel like I would be able to change that in the little amount I could. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I don't just care about meeting quota every week, I care about bettering Diverge Networks and actually putting in the time and effort to make it a better server to RP on. I show zero bias towards anyone, not my friends, not factions that I play in, I'm my own person. I can also devote a lot of time towards staffing since I don't have a j*b and spend most of my time on Diverge Networks anyways. A lot of time spent when I'm online is sitting around waiting, but that could change. If I become staff I would spend that "useless" time that I almost always have into staffing. I'm extremely passionate about enforcing RP and the rules of the server and I believe I could do so adequately. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Diverge Networks: Moderator (Around one month) Frontier Networks: Administrator (around 3-4 months) Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, Character Abuse - Organized Item Transfer / Metagame / Unapproved Diverge related discord Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I can't speak for the community, but from what I can tell I'm in the sort of middle range. I'm not extremely well known like Coco, Vinny Lucchese, or Monaclu. But due to some positions I've held and controversial past, I'd say I'm known by many. I wouldn't say I'm 100% respected at all, I've been banned for extreme rulebreaks in the past (which I have learned from and I have improved on, I haven't broken a single rule since then and I'm trying to keep my record clean from there.). Of course, within RP I'd say most of characters are respected and looked up upon, I've mentored associates and I provide lots of help for new members not just in an RP sense, but to understand politics and rules of the server and stuff like that. I've never had a "minge" character before, all of my characters (from what I remember) are for serious roleplaying only, no tomfoolery. In character I'm sensible and dedicated, but out of character I like to help people with understanding the server and how it works, not to be "mingey" and showing the ways of MafiaRP. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: I have 3 moments in mind. #1, my first interaction with gozmouz. I was dealing with a minge while on a cop character and I had to call staff for a force plea, when gozmouz accepted it, he came in and played a God/Jesus character and ultimately settled the situation. It was a super funny experience and great first impressions of Mr. gozmouz. #2, my first ever PK. This was back when the Callaghan Clan was still around, me and 2 other guys were brought to the barge and we had to wait there for a good 10 minutes when the caporegime brought in this associate that hadn't pay kickups in awhile. He gave us the codeword and we all unloaded our clips into him. This moment on the surface isn't all that special but it has sentimental value to me since after that day I was extremely dedicated to MafiaRP, I felt immersed and I felt like I belonged somewhere. 10/10 Roleplay back then and I wish I could experience it again for the first time. #3, another moment when the Callaghan Clan was still around, it was the biggest boxing event that I had ever hosted, me and (my IC best friend at the time) Gregor O'Connor were running a weekly SBC Shamrocks Boxing Championship night. It was the first time I ever ran a boxing event and it was the best one we've had. I don't know what particularly made it so great but about 40-50 people showed up, people from all over. We had around 5 or 7 matches that night and it started my love for boxing and it made me go on the whole "The Cannon" persona. It made me make boxing my characters whole personality and like I've stated previously, I wish I could experience days like this for the first time again. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: N/A ------------------------------------------------- Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I would take a clip of the situation and make a report to any other staff member that is online. If I am the only staff member available, and I'm not in a Roleplay scenario at the moment, I would switch to my staff character and handle the situation on my own. (I would clip everything from the sit, to the incident that happened and send it to a staff member that holds seniority and get their opinion of everything, like if I handled it correctly and stuff like that.) 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?: I would gather evidence against them like clips and screenshots of how they are abusing. Then I would send everything I have to a member of UA or make a general ticket in the Diverge General and report whatever staff is doing so there. I would not confront them publicly nor directly as that could cause problems and conflict in the future or even during the moment. 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?: I would not take the ticket immediately, I would wait for another member of staff to take it, I would also make it known in staff chat that their one of my friends or faction members and that I could possibly be biased if I take the ticket. If there is no staff besides me, I would take the ticket and continue with it as professionally as possible and as adequately as possible. This does constitute possible bias even if I don't realize it.

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.

!

Wait u plan to spend more money on diverge. oh thats fine bro come back

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

people like ix crazy abuse the mechanic and do it on people like new players with no roleplay behind it just to bait names

Brotato chip is mugging niggas with nothing on them

You’re retarded nigga

In taking away the ladder behind little italy, the only way to *get onto the rooftops* is now this: \ This provides access to the railway, which you can use to get onto a number of public rooftops, that the police utilize for surveillance. Right now, cops are unable to do that. Because this is a fire escape. If they go on the rooftops, they've implicitly broken the law. NOW, the EASIEST way to fix this is to just have the DOP designate this as public usage. Very simple, a small memo, legally protects officers, reboots a HUGE portion of cop RP (sitting on rooftops, spying.) it didn't go well. My suggestion is simple Either: 1. Add a new ladder, public use 2. Have the DOP make the ruling. BRING BACK DETECTIVE ROOFTOP RP!

Okay this is insane LMAO

not sad, but very much deserved was the NOI, for whatever the most recent iteration was (i think the 3rd or 4th atleast)

genovese had their banks raided by *someone* odessa got wiretapped to death kirov got wiretapped, and both pked the don and the replacement don and died bonannos are the future victim of 30 colombo detectives 14k is dead, basically, just out of lack of interest i guess i think it was the OG cassanos that UA just deleted iirc whatever that gay russian one was that had like 5 players, i pked 3 of their guys on my crim character when they tried to mug me, then I got pked for triple murder and then their faction never recovered (i mean, it wasnt doing well anyway) and was deleted there was some irish faction that the detectives infiltrated, got into their HC, and persuaded to leave their alliance and then they phased out of existence every irish faction dying was sad, they had good RP they just couldn't keep people interested

Cant use Child since Yumekoo is on staff! I guess he could of lied about his age though!!

basing it off application looks good overall +1 havent had opportunity to meet you yet hopefully the chance comes soon

to mug people better and know when staff is watching

+1 decent guy, had some good interactions with him when he was in my faction

what kind of advantage did you gain through cheats? if you care so much for the server, why even cheat in the first place?

-1 Immature, easily swayed, biased, item transfer, faction hopper, fake, a child

Michael Vintaloro mentioned

-1 gimp and copmain

RP here dawg https://divergenet.works/forum/11-general-discussion/

Nothing's impossible. Steam Workshop::Real Camera: Take Physical Photos

You ran an item transfer operation back when you were staff whilst Callaghan still existed.

Hello! So, this situation is a little weird. While yes, you did die while under fearRP there is a clear discrepancy between what you saw and what the mugger saw. Because of this, you acted on the information granted to you so you thought you were safe. Due to this visual bug we will be granting you grace and resurrecting your character. While you are saved this time, in the future either make sure you have bullets or don't fight back! Your appeal has been reviewed and accepted. Your character has been reinstated and can be used again.

Idk, my company the hiring process usually takes an an hour with brand new people. I've hired 5 people at the same time, but I went and looked for those guys. I bought them suits, I asked for their character back stories, I walked around with them and gave them a tour. Just because you don't see everything a faction is doing with their hires doesn't mean that they are just hiring them in 5 minutes. Retention rates are lower bc we hire a ton of people but the difference between us is that I hire 10 people in a week and only 5 stay. You hire 2 a week and bitch on forums. Go sit outside of city hall or continue to get mogged

Buying a Kwik Kash™ Jetski would solve this problem!

I think cops should have keys to all properties that way they can get their evidence

Hey Ryoma, 1 day after you were hired I told you you did not work at The Garrison and this was a mistake by Enzo. You then told me that you had to leave while Enzo was training you, so you may not know everything you need and you never got a car. I then took you to get a car bought you a gun license a gun and dropped you at the Sushi restaurant. (again you had to leave to eat) When returning I showed you how to buy oil, but you left the city before learning where to sell. When i addressed this the 2nd time you again told me Enzo hired you for The Garrison. I informed you I am Enzo's boss and he was mistaken. Instead of taking this and moving on you became aggressive and stormed off. Due to this outburst it was decided that talking to and potential retraining would almost certainly be met with resistance.

Hey Ryoma, You were told at least twice (by me personally) that you were not an employee of the Garrison until you obtain the proper credentials. (despite the mistake your recruiter made) Potentially costing our organization money as well as our properties. You then took this a step further bringing heat to our store by stabbing an on duty officer in The Garrison while "working security", when confronted again that you do not work there you became argumentative with HC before storming off mid conversation. (thankfully to the store you did work for) When addressed with other command it was found that you had not made a substantial impact, so it was easier to nip this in the bud.

This guy's getting skill diffed on hiring

we let string be staff and he was literally fucking his brother so

instead apply the 5 minute cooldown to mutual introductions

Hey, banning staff member here. In the situation that you were banned for, (Clip for context) you start to snitch on the guy that shot you. (Not encouraging that, but it is within the rules). After beginning the roleplay with the (now present) police, you lie and say that someone else shot you, a random person not involved at all. (While the guy that shot you is still around the crime scene). This prompts a new situation for the police, one that is entirely fictional (and ultimately ends in someone getting arrested that did nothing wrong). The powergame rule in question: Powergaming is described as forcing a scenario or roleplay onto someone against their will, usually in violation of the rules. Using other game mechanics to powergame can include, attempting to force players to do things outside of the server, forcing players to commit suicide, forcing players to commit crimes, forcing players to RP or /me's against their will, forcing players to give their f3, etc etc, (irrelevant to this scenario) You may not invent evidence to force a roleplay nor may you take OOC matters into IC The scenario you made up led to someone that did nothing wrong get forced into roleplay against his will, and very negatively impacted their time in the city. I do not think this ban was unfair or unjust, but good luck on your appeal.

he's alright.. i guess................. +10

So, if a cop decides what you’re doing is a crime out of ignorance/malice and arrests you successfully , it’s an “IC issue” and not RDA but when a person is able to escape false claims of a crime and evades arrest then he’s rule breaking? What I’ve seen called “cop bait” has been pretty shoddy, at times. Can we at least see proof that this guy was minging and not just playing his character in an organic or meaningful way?

Your Character or Steam Name: Dimitri "Gas Mask" Molchalin Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:178394927 Your Discord ID#: master_mind_xx Reason for ban: Power gaming Length of ban: was only supposed to be 3 days but it says permanent. Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): I was told by the admin that my ban was only 3 days. Why should you be unbanned? I don't have any po's and I'm known for being a good person in the community. Additional Information (images, videos, etc):

See my reply here I will fix the perma and set it back to 3 days. If you want to appeal the 3 day ban post a new appeal thread.

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The ban will be lifted from your account shortly. If it was deemed an invalid ban, it will also be removed from your record.

Good and honest app, have known him to be a nice dude both IC and OOC +1

Ok so obviously, "You should remove the ability to stove bomb if I 'm not supposed to do it.", this guy definitely read the appeal that I had accepted and figured this was really cool. Let me clarify here: firstly, a staff member told you to stop. so no grace. Secondly, when I said *it's a feature*, I meant, as stated, that there's a specific context to which its appropriate. The context to which its appropriate, as stated in the prior appeal, is in part of a proper, roleplay escalation. I.e. the verbal confrontation that escalated into use of a stove bomb on a property. This specific situation was within the bounds of RP, and was done in good faith from what we could tell. In *your* context, you were acting like a minge, and cop baiting. Not the time to utilize the stove bomb feature at all. Real RP, organic escalation that adds value to the experience? Totally fine. Minging and trying to make people mad for no reason? Totally disallowed.

+1 10/10 commission mugger

+1 Great guy, known him for a bit, super dependable.

Hey, I am the admin that set you active. When you join a criminal faction, you are met with this prompt: When you clicked "I understand and accept the risks" you also accepted the risk of being permanently killed by faction members. The reasons provided to me in the order were both very legitimate reasons to PK a faction member, you were working at a gun store that you were not supposed to be and had a confrontation with the police on your faction's property. Both of these reasons seemed like you were a liability to your faction and could compromise their legal businesses. As a result, I set you PK active to them. Hope this helps, good luck on your character appeal. This isn't a ban appeal, but I banned you for returning to the scene of where your main character's dead body was. You came back and I pulled you to a sit, explained that if you wanted to appeal the case you would be more than welcome to on the forums, and that you cannot intervene with the crime scene nor the people that were around when it happened. I told you go somewhere else in town for a while and warned you if you did not stop you would be banned. Instead, you moved half a block to the business your (now deceased) main character worked at and started talking about people the character you were playing had no IC knowledge of (especially this ronnie guy). After waiting afk on the same street corner for 5ish minutes, you run back to the crime scene that police were actively investigating and start telling them about the body. I banned you after multiple warnings and if you'd like to appeal the ban, I recommend you make a ban appeal.

I do appreciate the picture of the humble kitty however this was entirely written by AI and I cannot bare someone breaking my immersion in game by breaking character. It’s important to stay in character even in admin sits.

can we get a countdown something simple just in top corner of ur screen small time counter in minutes/seconds before ur car despawns.. that way we know when to enter car before it despawns

man spread this, man spread that. how about every time you see a man you stop spreading your legs, slut

Are you the guy that uses disliking custom cassettes as an excuse to prop abuse and blow up cars

Hey there, you were under fear RP and ignored command blatantly, said fuck you and ran and got yourself killed. This is a valid PK, further you have long since deleted the character making it unrecoverable. Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.

Logs state that you zip tied someone else, and, again, people/allies went to your higher ups and stated that you were scamming them. They said YOUR NAME in orders, and you were PKed by those orders. I did realize you had the same name on your other character, but it didn't have the same nickname and wasn't in Kosher. This confirmed that you did, in fact, mug someone. I asked the person who put the orders on you, and people were going to him, saying you were trying to scam allies. Your HC believed their allies and the people telling your HC about what you'd done and had you taken out due to the complaints about you.
