Name of Character: Vinny Barone Character ID: 139555 SteamID: Steam ID: 76561198101831056 Your Discord ID: fuckfacesunstoppable Date of PK:11/12/25 Reason for PK: causing inner faction conflict, causing an uproar within the ranks, causing a feud within high command The situation that led to my character’s death didn’t have good in-character reasoning or proper buildup. From what I saw, it felt like the players involved acted out of OOC frustration or personal issues instead of their characters’ actual motives. It broke the immersion and made the roleplay feel unfair, which is disappointing since I’ve always tried to take RP seriously and stay true to my character. I’m not completely sure what the exact reasoning or orders behind my character’s death were, but based on what I’ve heard, it seems like it was influenced more by OOC stuff than anything that made sense IC. There wasn’t proper escalation, and it didn’t fit with my character’s story or any real conflict that would’ve justified it. Also, the player I believe was mainly involved has a history of causing or exaggerating drama and not being fully honest in past situations. so, it’s hard to see this as a fair or natural outcome of roleplay. tldr: we broke up and she got me killed for no reason

Name of Faction: The Popov Family Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 20 Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Russian/Orthodox Russian Name of Character running the faction: Pavel 'Feliks' Popov Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): tradercho_ Your SteamID:STEAM_0:1:59531587 Your Server playtime: 1mo 5d 19hr Do you acknowledge and agree to all faction rules as detailed on the server rules page? (Yes/No): Yes Do you acknowledge that your faction discord will be owned by us? (Yes/No): Yes Provide an example of the unique Roleplay your faction will bring to the server/what type of roleplay we can expect from your faction (Images/Videos Preferred): We set up the bread stand and give away free food to people and preach the lords word and his name to the masses, while helping as many people as possible. We also want to bring in our own taxi and bring in a Taxi service with a dedicated phone number for free Taxi rides to your shipments, including a VIP package where the Russian Taxi Driver will follow you for support to your shipments, and drop you off where you want to be. Even if we get accepted, we will continue to set up places to give away food, drink and medical attention. Prayers and sermons should be expected, as well as prayers on Sunday alongside promotions, and other business about the city. Even with our Orthodox background, we will still be a crime family, and killing will be apart of our lives. For these such moments that we strive so hard to get away from. For all PKs there will be mandatory prayer, even if a brief one, begging god for forgiveness. We will have a social code of not using any extremely expensive vehicles or outfits, we want to be known for giving money back to the people whenever we can. Eventually, whenever were set up on our feet pretty good, we want to make a place where gambling addicts can get 10k whenever they lose all of their money to get back onto their feet without having to take a loan. Being a crime family, we are disgracing ourselves in the eyes of our god. So we donate back out, we try and do everything possible to outbalance the terrible acts that we commit. Way further down the line we would like to get a gun racket and sell them legally. We would never sell them illegally, because that is something that we do not have to do to continue giving back to the community. (I want to clarify that we are not a cult, and that this is just genuine Russian Orthodoxy.) Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): Well of course we are going to be giving sermons at the church, we will have an entire role dedicated to people who can do this, reading Orthodox Russian prayers (in english ofc) to the masses, or even just to the faction. We will consistently open the free bread bar, making improvements to it and continuing on that route. We invite anyone to church with open arms, including offering confessions at the Church with a Father of the Popov's, a man who will keep all your secrets to his chest, so you can get them out there. The taxi service might not have very much event potential but it WILL be a facet of consistent Russian RP with the Russian made Taxi we are looking to bring to the server.

Make it so you can pass on your ownership / location of an active shipment to somebody else in the C menu. This opens up small RP / grinding opportunities for associates, who can get tasked with picking up packages for lazy bosses and risk death if they don’t bring the goods.

Currently the warning you get when joining a Faction (shown below) is a blanket warning applying to all factions allowing no individuality in what factions stand for. What I am proposing is adding a box to this warning which the boss of each family can assign specific rules to which new recruits must agree to when joining a faction. This would allow factions to specify what they expect of their recruits so there's less surprise when people get PK'd for doing stupid shit. A few examples would be specifying that a certain faction doesn't allow mugging or allow drug trades etc etc.

Hello! I am the staff member that banned you, metagaming is a topic we take seriously. Especially if you were using it to mug people; we had gotten a clip where you and the others you were mugging were coordinating in a call to mug someone, calling out "lets put this guy under FearRp." The ban was the length it was because you already had another metagaming note, I didnt feel like really needing to explain myself seeing as you should already know better. Before making any bans I had spectated you and your friends and noticed on multiple occasions where you guys would run around the map, moving around in sync, without saying a single word IC'ly. Considering your time on the server you should know better. The clip provided below should show why the ban is valid, not only did you state you and your friends should mug the guy but you also get replies from at least one of them before you all hop out of the car. This is a very lenient punishment. Clip of what happened!

Name of Character:Emily Wade Character ID: idk how to get this SteamID:STEAM_0:1:701429001 Your Discord ID#: Cashou1 Date of PK: 11/13/2025 Reason for PK: There was no reason told, dude ran up and killed me for no reason Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: Rdm or meta game? If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/lviyJDCCbR1T_C9HM?invite=cr-MSx1R28sMjE0MjA1MDU3&v=39

lmfaoooo you edited the images, idk how far you thought this through but we have the original dms that will be streamed to UA to show you have violated global rule 9

Currently it isn't great having melee weapons in gun rackets when it comes to a money making angle. For example, our racket has fire axes that cost $1,000 to order. Even if we were to break even selling them, you can get 5-6 shovels for the same price as 1 axe and with zero wait. And there is still the same cooldown for melee weapons as if you were ordering back to back gun shipments. Most times people want alot of them in a short time for events. Also most people pass on buying them when they see the price, and we intentially set it higher than we would like to avoid large orders. My suggesstion would be to rebalance melee weapons in rackets in one or more of the following ways: - Make them near zero cost to order, so they can be offered at lower prices and still make a somewhat decent profit - Reduce the reordering cooldown significantly - Have all melee weapon shipments come with a larger amount(at least 5-10) Would be open to hearing other sugestions as well

Very easy +1

add a solo melee racket nerf the melees in the hardware store start more brawl RP as factions (no firearms) make specific melee weapons able to break legs for good internal punishment RP

Personally, I think it's on the faction to hire correctly and express their values through ic roleplay, not a pop-up box Nice idea but I think it just encourages laziness

+1 Variety, overall decent rp'ers with high hopes. should throw them a bone.

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.

Edited ban appeal is absolutely wild

-1 poop family

+1 been seeing a ton of RP from these guys, they are very active and add more diversity to the server.

+1 highly active and chill. Kirov ran russian rp to the ground. Time for a new gen to take over.

+1

+1 they have been active by running a bread stand in park they would be a good addition and would add diversity

+1 Convenience -1 could see this causing less interaction during recruitment. People should be RPing and telling their new people the rules and expectations and not relying on a text box to do so

You're appealing at a rate of like once a month. I said you need tine away to appreciate the ban. You may re-appeal November 9th, 2026. If you post another appeal before this date I will restrict your forums account until then.

I kinda get what he is saying Maybe the highlighted selection should have a soft glow

+1 un pk this person, they didn't do anything. I think Crocie is lying

-1 Author of this post flexes about having "sub 100k charID's" thus they're "not mugging chars" according to him, joins factions and mugs opposing faction only to be instantly get PK'd by faction he joined or people he mugged in group. Check his logs if you want. Why is the author even a moderator when he does dumb shit like mugging on disposable chars? I have also never seen roleplay from you guys. Who even is/what is Myers Crime Family? Who knows, Post is about 2.5 months old and author is a mingy moderator. You're lucky you have not lost staff roles and banned. in all seriousness I've not seen you or ANYONE for that matter, roleplay even once and you posted this 2.5 months ago. massive -1 just like the poster above me ^.

Hello, Once upon a time we removed the ability for properties to have food registers, in place of that we set up Shipment NPCs where people could order in food items (in bulk obviously), and then transport them to the property, and store them for selling to people. At the time, this was somewhat unpopular due to a few issues. Such as: - Storage entities were frequently being wiped, which would mean people would spend many hours organizing stock and arranging deliveries, just for it to be wasted. This is no longer an issue as storages permanently persist. - Having to have millions of storage lockers to store them in, making it difficult to effectively organize. - Lazyness. But this is a task that should be delegated to lower ranking members. - The old shipment system had dogshit configuration, so you couldn't order multiple at once. - Whatever else, it was years ago I don't remember. So we eventually reintroduced property vendors, but with a limit of 15 items. Today, I was reminded that we once had this system. Thinking about it, I realize that its reintroduction would come with many benefits, such as. - Not having to rely on me or Canadian to get on and change vendors when you want something changed. Which is a lengthy process, getting approval from FL, making the UA ticket then waiting for us to change it. - Being able to sell a wide range of food and drink items, instead of being limited to 15 pre-selected options. - Boost of available roleplay - new hires can be assigned as delivery boys, restaurants will have to organize their stock and have dedicated people managing it, ensuring supplies stay available, and much much more. We would make the following changes with this: - We would create a new type of storage item, that has a much larger inventory space, but in return it would only be able to store food items. Thus resolving the issue of having to have 100 storage items. - We would update the Shipment NPC UI to have organized categories so it isn't all cluttered together (like it is now). There would be tabs, nice and organized. - Shipment timing for food would also NOT be the same as drugs/guns. They would spawn immediately for collection. So I wanted to see what you all think - would this be something you'd like to see? I cannot see any real downsides to this, other than lazyness / not wanting to RP. But maybe there are some - so by all means let me know if there are. Or perhaps there are other things that would need to be done alongside what I have proposed. Either way, please let me know your thoughts.

So this is the guy smashing into people's car in a delivery van for hours straight? yeah no, stay banned. You rammed my car a bunch of times in Casino parking lot.

+1 their rp is great, went to their sermon Friday it was very well put together. They are very friendly an fI believe they will bring in lots of great rp, and be an amazing new group to have around

Unban him because people I respect say he’s a good guy and he supposedly excels at RP. Not sure if I’ve ran into him previously but I hope to see IC soon. +1

In-Game Name(s): Julian Myers, Curtis “Repo” Busch, Senior Officer Olga Czyrninovic, Chaim Greenberg Steam Name: peeboy Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199121842862/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:580788567 Discord Username: peeboyiscool Age: 18 When did you first join the server: Feb. 2022 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2w 1d 5h 53m (this is most likely inaccurate, I have used several special characters in the past 4 or so years) Time Zone: CST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 10-15hr a week 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?: Nutscript yes, SAM no 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?: * In my time on Diverge Networks I have met lots of interesting people and made some new friends. The server offers fun experiences with total strangers that can lead to real friendship. I believe part of the reason these experiences are possible is because of the moderation team and ownership, and I have a few hours a week I don’t know what to do with, so I thought I should give back to the community. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I have been around the server for nearly 4 years. I know the frustration caused by poor or biased moderation and I aim to do my part in eliminating it. Along with being as completely fair as humanly possible, I aim to make every situation as quick and respectful as possible. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Prominent DarkRP: Super Admin (~1.5 Years) - A project my friends had started that I got invited to a few months after they got going. There were 30-40 players at its peak and it was a great time. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, in June of 2022 for being the middle man in an item transfer. I understand that I broke the rules and I appreciate that I was appropriately reprimanded as such, and since then I have followed the rules as closely as I can. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I’m not sure if I would say I’m “well known,” but I speak to several people quite regularly and I talk to people in passing decently often. There’s a few people in the police department I would genuinely call my friends, as well as some civilians and people in my other factions. I think most people would think I’m a fairly normal guy and they wouldn’t hold many strong opinions about me. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: There’s several that come to mind, recently I was a big part of a charity boxing event that 20+ people attended, the various police events I’ve been a part of, as well as many from when I was second-in-command of the Myers Family about 3.5 years ago. The one that stands out the most, however, was the first time I had somebody pk’d. Within the first week or two of me joining the server, I had been robbed and some of my friends found the robber and brought him to me tied and blindfolded. I remember having to ask how to make the staff ticket and finally being given the green light to kill the guy. I believe it’s experiences like that that make this server special and if I can be a bigger part of it I want to be. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: joeeey1 ------------------------------------------------- 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?: Make a ticket like a normal player, if there is no other staff to take the ticket I will collect evidence to put on the forums. 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?: Collect evidence of them abusing and make a staff report. 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 proceed like normal, I would check the logs, ask for clips, and do everything I could to find the truth. It doesn’t matter that this person is my friend, if they did something wrong they should be punished accordingly. ---------------------------------------------------------

Liar liar.

NO WAY THE MOB LIED? SOMEONE PLEASE CALL A REPORTER.

"slightly" requests to halve the cooldown

Hello, I am the staff that had approved your PK; you had run over a cop while trying to flee from them pulling you over. This ruling was permitted under Pk Rules under confrontations with police, while not explicitly covered under the section-- any malicious attempt at getting away or killing cops with a vehicle will still lead to VCWP. The first cop you hit I will admit could be excusable for an accident, but the second officer you hit seemed intentional and malicious. We try to take situations like this in a realistic manner, if you were to hit a cop in real life the way you did here obviously the other officers watching it happen would shoot to kill. Sorry for the loss of your character!

figured it out

honestly coming off a perma and doing back to back POs and then picking someone up and running around with them 2 days may have been too little

+1 these guys are awesome already

Didnt you shit on your brother dude?

I guess I have zero clue about what the hell I'm talking about, fair enough

They need to pay in game money to get it put in the racket, you should know this, lol.

Hey man, banning Admin here. You were banned for RDM and, within the last few days, had racked up a few prior offenses after just returning from a permanent ban. While potential accidents happen, you still shouldn't be grabbing someone and running off with them, regardless of the situation. If you weren't intending on kidnapping her/running away, you could've just moved her to the sidewalk out of harm's way. Due to the amount of notes you had, I felt 2 days was just enough. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/luom2r8LQ1wImrKxF?invite=cr-MSxaV3csMjA5Mjc5Mzc2&v=30 Your POV I do wish you luck in your appeal, but I highly recommend you just lock in with your behavior, man. The POs in the short time period were the main issue, some being RDM and some being NITRP.

Currently seems there's a devide between how admins tackle the question on PKs for reasons such as leaving the family without permission. There's no doubt you can get that PK active, but then if that person appeals it seems to be a 50\50 shot per accepted and denied post. I think their needs to be consistency on how the staff tackles these PKs due to violation of these basic rules listed in a families Discord that I'm pretty sure most people directed their new recruits to. With that being said, I think this idea would straighten consistency on results of PK appeals within this subject. I don't think this is to replace people reading rules to new hires, I think it benefits more as a safe guard reason for staff and the person setting the order once it comes time to the appeals. +1

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

Fails to take responsibility, does not view it as a rule break, claims the other person was a 'sore loser' Ban extended due to a detected evasion attempt. User appeals ban. A second evasion attempt is recorded by Console while the appeal is still open.

yeah so second clip is irrelevant, happened way after your ban we're going to go down this point by point: 1. The guy was being arrested for illegal open carry (brandishing), which is a misdemeanour. 2. The reason you gave for killing the cop was "lol it was a bullshit arrest", not even alleging that you thought it was a felony, just that you thought it was "Bullshit" (staff issue, could've made a ticket if you thought it was a random arrest) 3. You actually have way more than 5 POs but I was nice and only counted the ones from this year

Good evening, There is quite a few things to go over with this but ultimately it is getting denied and I'll elaborate on every point to clear up any confusion. 1. Suppressors do not make gunshots unable to be heard through buildings, guns are very loud and suppressors do not make them "silent" or unable to be heard, the only mechanic for guns that isn't allowed to be used in RP in terms of sound is the loading sound that plays when you equip more ammo. 2. The cop did in fact hear the gun shot and this was not a personal ploy against you. They were staking you out longer than you had known, and did hear the gunshot from when you murdered the man. There was no underhanded tactics at play, the officer was simply camping out and you missed them. 3. Having a dupe up does not make any noises from your room invalid, you fired a weapon in a very small room, a "barrier" on the window would not dampen this noise nearly enough for people, or in this case the police, from hearing gun shots. In the evidence from the police side provided to me they very clearly see you put up the dupe, and there is no question as to what room the gun fire came from. I understand with a skewed view how you may believe this situation to be powergame, but after getting both sides and reviewing all the evidence there was no abuse of game mechanics to get an upper-hand on you and your associate, rather a lack of awareness led to what happened in this situation. In the future, please be aware that suppressors are not the end all be all in terms of avoiding detainment, and it is still a very loud gun being fired in a very tiny room.

fawkkk

So true. Keep yourself safe buddy
