In-Game Name(s): Jackson Kinahan, Public Defender Craig Hamilton, Albert Trigger, Giovanni Salvati Steam Name: jaboinkle Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198858480296/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:449107284 Discord Username: dorugo Age: 17 When did you first join the server: September, but didn't fr play until January Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 3w 4d 13h 43m Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 7-12 hours 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?: No, but I'm willing to learn. 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?: My motivation for applying is that I've been very much connected with this server for the past couple of months. I've also noticed that during non-peak hours, the time for a ticket to be accepted by an admin is very slow. This has resulted in some frustration between peers of mine, and including myself. I also am very eager to become a staff member. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I believe that my ability to exclude bias during important decisions makes me viable for staff. I also don't really have an ego, and I am very reflective of my own decisions at times. I also am involved in a lot of aspects of Diverge, being underboss in a criminal faction, a former Senior Officer in PD, and as a current Public Defender. With this, I can provide a good general insight on all things surrounding the server. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): No previous staffing experience. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Unfortunately, I have been banned once on the server for Middle manning a money transfer. However, I have grown from this idiotic mistake, and have read the rules countless times since then. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I would say I am moderately known in the community, but not fully known, with my reputation being a fun and outgoing person who can get serious in times where seriousness is needed. Most of PD and Lawyers will recognize me as PD Craig Hamilton, and most of my faction and other criminally-minded chars will recognize me as Jackson Kinahan. Overall, I think my reputation is mostly positive, as I try to be as cool as possible with everyone. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: There's too many to chose from, so Ima give my top 3 (no particular order) 1) Becoming Underboss in a criminal faction. That was really cool for me and was a reflection on how far I came with them. 2) Alien invasion event at like 3 am. Was very cool mowing down aliens. 3) The February racket event. It brought a lot of people close and I had a lot of fun during it. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: ------------------------------------------------- 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 I am not busy with roleplay matters, I will take the ticket immediately. If I am busy, I will make sure to keep an eye on the tickets to see if any other staff takes it. Once any important matters are concluded and the ticket is still open, I will take it, or in the case of something else, I will ask them to remake the ticket. 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?: To begin with, I would attempt to chat with them privately about their abuse in a manner that is polite and respectful. This is because if I were to immediate jump the gun and report him, there could be some vital knowledge that would result in the abuse of power, and I would look dumb for reporting it. Nonetheless, I would explain what I observed and ask for their feedback, reasoning, or further insight on what I saw. If the issues persist without any clear deductive reasoning behind it, I would bring it up to higher staff, following the protocols that are in place. 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?: Rules are rules. If you break them, you are to be warned/punished, no matter who it is. However, to reduce bias, I would first see if any fellow staff members could take the ticket. If it's just me on, then I will try my best to respond to the ticket in the most unbiased manner I can, strictly looking at the rules to see if any rule break had occurred. However, if the personal connection is too strong, a conflict of interest would occur, which would constitute bias. If this happens, then I would try to look for another staff member to respond to the ticket. ---------------------------------------------------------

I just got literally arrested yesterday. Like ????? Why even have them?? All I wanted to do was play my 3d cookie clicker. I click the drug buy. I wait, and play cookie clicker on my phone (i LOVE incremental games) and then I pick up my drugs. Why do we NEED cops for this process?? Like, yesterday I was processing drugs that I bought, and I was playing Adventure Capitalist on my phone irl (i LOVE incremental games) and I go to sell my drugs to the npc, and a cop arrests me for open carry??? Like why break the RP????? I now have to reset my drug process and I dont even get a prestige bonus. Please fix, this is actually ruining the game (i LOVE incremental games) or just rename the server POLICE RP because thats what its BECOME.

Your Character or Steam Name: Lord515 Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:94298612 Your Discord ID#: otto515 Reason for ban: Alt Account of: STEAM_0:0:610317305 Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): 3 years ago, there was a war on the Principatos. I was away on vacation and out of the loop for Diverge. In the past I had given Hakai (the man who used my acc as an alt) my steam account to play some games and I had forgotten about it. Hakai got banned right before the start of the war and when the war was going on he hopped on my account and attempted to join the server without me knowing anything about it. In conclusion I am sorry for being a retard for sharing my account with Hakai, I did not know he was gonna do anything bad with my account or even try to use my actual account as an alt. Why should you be unbanned?: It has been almost 3 years since the ban, 3 years basically without GMod or any roleplay games. I would like to say I have matured over the time, I also joined the army of my country where I met SJ who told me about how much has changed and it made me want to be a part of the whole scene again (Yes, SJ is literally a squad leader in the same platoon as me, I am the gunner on an APC). I always loved Diverge when I played and I should have made this appeal earlier, I again apologize for my lack of intelligence. Prior to my ban I believe I was a model player with basically no warns/kicks/timeouts. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): I am uploading an image where it is literally me and SJ talking about times past

Your Character or Steam Name: Eugene Le'Cassier Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_1:0:138039649 Your Discord ID#: kyngholiday Reason for ban: Fail Escalation / RDM Length of ban: 2 Days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute/Apology Why should you be unbanned?: I believed my actions were appropriate based on the situation. We were selling tickets for a boxing event inside AND outside the restaurant, with active RP and customers nearby. The officer entered with his gun out, which immediately disrupted the scene and scared off people trying to buy tickets. This hindered our business. We asked him multiple times to leave the property because his presence was interfering with our roleplay. He eventually stepped outside, but stayed right near the entrance, which continued to deter customers and hurt the RP. I ask that it be recognized that escalation with police cannot merely start with punching a cop. I'd be PKed in a heartbeat, or be a tactical disadvantage. Instead, I waited for his conduct to continue to go on, he clearly wasn't intending on deescalating or leaving the area. There was no fail escalation here. From my perspective, this felt like harassment or an attempt to find a legal reason to shut down the scene. That’s why people began recording, as part of RP. I wasn’t trying to break rules or escalate improperly — I was trying to protect the RP we had going. If I misunderstood how escalation or police presence should be handled, I’m willing to adjust going forward.

Your Character or Steam Name: Rizo Your SteamID https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198367369589/ Your Discord ID#: .rizo Reason for ban: rdm l rdm bait l nit rp l ltarp l extensive pos Length of ban: perma Reason for appeal: Greetings diverge staff and friends. its been a good 4 months now since I've last had the privilege to walk the diverge streets, I'm gonna be honest I miss it more than I thought I would. you don't realize it until its gone but diverge is kind of like an escape from real life where you get to be your own person and do your own do, a place where you don't gotta act normal and let your true personality out. Why should you be unbanned? I could fight all the bull shit in why I was banned and call byte all sorts of mean names like I did in the past. however i'm above that now I just wanna play my favorite game again after work with my buddies. I want the opportunity for a fresh start I turn 19 tomorrow and it would be sick to be able to play diverge again. no other server compares to diverges uniqueness and I rarely use my pc anymore if i dont get unbanned im thinking about selling my pc and just getting a xbox or sum shit. love rizo< 3 Additional Information (images, videos, etc): byte ion even remember why i was banned could you please explain it? 3 funny clips https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/ibjeDlzbq8qxJPmPw?invite=cr-MSxta3YsMTg2MTA5OTcw https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/ifBbByIkjN_bcAw2o?invite=cr-MSxKUkUsMTg2MTA5OTcw&v=58 https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/if3pxzo9Iyh6yvXzi?invite=cr-MSxocEQsMTg2MTA5OTcw&v=16

Was asked to drop an in-depth review on this one. +1 with consideration Pro - Good play time - Enjoyed the layout of the backstory and enjoyed reading the backstory. - Well written and easy to understand. - I like the diversity Con - I found your actual forum post a bit hard to read because it's a solid wall of text, I think if you either broke it down or moved it into a G doc it would be easier to read. - You repeat yourself a bit too much talking about the organization of the faction rather than giving us actual unique RP ideas. - This is a soft con, your whole faction idea revolves around doing PKs as contracts - everybody in a faction wants to do PKs, it's one of the most fun things to do... You need to explain why a faction would go through you guys rather than give it to one of their guys for RP enrichment. Saying 'we're professional killers' isn't enough for me. Advice - I think for fun RP you should do what I call 'demi-kills' essentially giving your lower guys a kill contract and have one of your other guys swap to an alt so they can kill them *safely* with some good RP ops. Will definitely help if there are no actual 'contracts' to keep people entertained. - I think all in all, for me personally I'd need to understand what do you intend to do if nobody wants to hire you for PKs.

Having to be in uniform 24/7 without paperwork is gay. It's just a skill issue if a detective in a suit fucks you, Yes 1 guy abused it but that shouldn't ruin the entire thing. If your playing gmod mafia rp and can't handle someone slapping you with a pillow go to pony rp

Make a system where a faction or multiple factions to create alcohol of their choosing but in a bracket and or make it to where the mechanics are little realistic so your ableing to actually make it and or pour into an actual glass

The guy dumb reacting you is retarded and Turkish, don’t feel too bad about it man.

I am also being spammed with negative comments and rep by some donor because this is my first time having to be here. I wish there was not a permanent -2 on my account because a random person thinks my mistake typing in the wrong section is "negative" and "dumb"

Hello, Banning Administrator here. You were banned for Char Abuse, as you assisted an individual using several alts to process, During the process of staff removing / banning the accounts we couldn't help but notice you scrambling to take and hide all the drugs involved in your stashes, you were both Banned and PKed due to a member of UA's final decision on the matter It's char abuse in terms of you Actively trying to hide items involved in a mass ban situation, and UA Will have final verdict on your ban.

Yeah but it will also incentivize the cops to not target my faction so -1

Hello, your favorite Turk here (English IS my primary language). Yesterday, I logged onto my favorite Garry's Mod server, Diverge Networks. As I was busy admiring the fabolous graphics of the loading screen, my newly acquired girlfriend texted me asking if I was alive and why I hadn’t responded for the past 3 hours. I told her I had been playing Clash Royale (I HATE incremental games). After replying, I looked back at my screen, only to be greeted by absolute horror. Where the fuck is my 1-of-5 East End Elegance suit on my Wright? And more importantly... where the fuck is my Sanzensekai suit on my Taka?! I genuinely thought I was about to have a cardiac event. I strongly suggest our beloved developer makes equipped outfits actually show up on the character selection screen—because I shouldn’t have to experience emotional trauma every time I log in wondering if my drip got wiped.

+1 good mans

Really tuggin on the heart strings with this one huh. I’m about to get emotional. Just alt like a real man.

and I can see why you've been permabanned 3 times at least and you come back begging like a bitch everytime. Pay up, don't cry.

If you love the game so much, just as I do too, how come you keep getting permanently banned over and over again? I got 1 ban for metagame, which I didn't know what that was since I was brand to new to roleplay. No bans after that since I read the rules. What made me and others learn this lesson the hard way and reform? and what is your reasoning for your continuing of breaking the rules despite being a long time player, multiple perma-bans and pardons?

You initiated FearRP, he responded to your threats with a gunshot to the face. You’re attempting to use the excuse that you were minging to negate the fact you with your own free will went and started to FearRP/Rob the wrong person, you started the RP and got shot which is a PK according to the PK guidelines.

I am on the spectrum

MafiaRPG

When I first started playing on this server 2–3 years ago, there were NPCs where players could purchase a wide assortment of food and drink shipments. Many of these (non custom) items have since disappeared from the city. To my knowledge, they were removed to streamline roleplay between players and businesses. While I understand the intent, encouraging more interaction and making certain items more exclusive, I think this change has been limiting from both a civilian and overall RP perspective. My suggestion is to reintroduce these NPCs, but with a reduced and more curated selection. For example, items that are custom or already sold by existing player run businesses would be excluded. Instead, the NPCs could offer more generic foods that used to be widely available such as pancakes, chicken wings, eggs, and similar items that are now rarely seen due to limited business menus and the removal of these vendors. Reintroducing these items would enhance RP opportunities, especially for civilians who want to run food carts, trucks, or small-scale operations. It would also bring back tangible food items that once existed, rather than relying on /me actions to substitute items (pretending a lobster is a taco or a piece of chicken). Even from a business and non civ perspective this could improve RP. Restaurants could create specials, and civilians could establish supply deals with them creating more RP.

Add a chance for you to pass out from drinking alcohol. Maybe certain beverages have higher chances, the more you drink the longer you pass out and if possible add a tolerance

Name of Character: Howie Hoang Character ID: Dont know SteamID: STEAM_0:0:90789839 Your Discord ID#: Rufie. Date of PK: 23/4/26? Reason for PK: None given just happened Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: Was being arrested, someone who had my F3 came and tried to save me; they engaged cop in a shoot out and in the process I got hit by him and hospitalised. Was being dragged by cop, so was pulled into line of fire - guy shooting states he had the common lag/freeze spike when pulling out a gun and shooting. So during this altercation got killed, pulled into a sit and PKd with the other guy and cop there. Boom did ask if the cop wanna PK me and cop said he didnt and I caught the chops. For the record, didnt ask the guy to kill me as I know that typically leads to PK, think the poor guy had quite the unfortunate lag/aim issue that caused this to happened. I couldnt move out of the way :') If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: I got a clip - could the staff member that's reviewing it DM me and i'll send it to them thank youu

same dude who cries and "quits" diverge for a week after getting bodied trying to mug someone LMAO

(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): https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1_YyULFYIA6UAfYoPzkQ8g83Dpmz_qRGJ3I-V-BoqibI/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PFabFoO4Hlt7qKC3yfbgK7ZgC5nDKxR8Uq7gWwtNPBk/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1kKLmN7QaSmyOtnL0SmtjJRuj3dXsZugh1HILjtNJPGU/edit?usp=sharing Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): The White-Collar Corporation works with every side of the city to host events and provide factions an opportunity to do more mob related things against civilians which so far has been almost nonexistent. By providing these events and different businesses we are promoting civilian/legal RP while also providing criminals/cops RP by interacting with the civilian side. We are involved in all kinds of industries and have a ton of ways for factions interact with our employees as event characters and normal civilians just trying to survive Southside one day at a time. From construction sites, factories, oil tankers, truck robberies, waste management and more we can provide factions unique and new RP that they haven't experienced yet. Besides bringing new stuff we also hope to compete with the other two oil companies in the city and provide some interesting white (and blue) collar RP. Employees who work with us are promoted through profit and performance, making sure that the earners are given more responsibility and the chance to run an industry within the White-Collar Corporation. Come into the city and keep an eye out as almost everything we do is on the fly and happens at random! The following is how we handle day to day operations and how we keep players interested in a corporation. The Corporate Ladder Employees at the White-Collar Corporation have the ability to move up in the ranks at their own pace, with good RP and a hard work ethic employees can earn promotions during regular earning reports where the White-Collar Corporation management look into profits and the employees work done. By climbing the corporate ladder employees can take on manager positions overseeing operations such as construction, call centers, organizing truck shipments and many other industries that need leadership to start up or for the best of the best, the oil business. Every White-Collar Corporation employee should strive to work their way onto the board of the corporation where all major decisions affecting every industry is made as well as the millions of dollars tied to each industry. The board and managers will work together to lay out plans to take over the oil market, making adjustments as needed and introducing new ways for the employees of the White-Collar Corporation to buy oil at greater rates. IP Acquisition: The White-Collar Corporation is regularly looking for new IPs and products or services to provide, taking advantage of the markets looking for assets that are for the taking. Examples of this include the acquisition of the Rockefeller Polo and Pin which brought the WCC into the clothing market, selling this combo for $5,000 to people around the city and being told off by the Rockefeller Company for trying to sell them to Rockefeller employees. Another example is the dissolution of Dom's Deli and La Fucina, a White-Collar Corporation employee saw opportunity and reserved the names of these businesses before trying to use the LLCs as leverage to speak with the Bonanno Crime Family and secure future business for the corporation while handing the businesses back. While the White-Collar Corporation understands business it does not understand the streets of Southside and how crime ridden they are, leading to Mr. White-Collar to be picked up outside of one of his businesses and sat down with the head of The Commission to understand why a corporation would try to buy out a deli and gun store before resolving the situation with a handshake and two glasses of whiskey... Breaking into the Market: The White-Collar Corporation will be relentless with breaking into the oil market to compete with the current oil companies. Only the most efficient and ruthless employees will become management or join the board within the oil division of the White-Collar Corporation where we will compete with and secure the customer base of the current oil companies by introducing an aggressive buying campaign as well as looking to provide a more stable presence in the market allowing customers to make their purchases without having to wait constantly for the other two oil companies. While the White-Collar Corporation is aggressive trying to break into the market it does not mean that they won't negotiate and try to work with the other companies if it means increasing the White-Collar Corporations bottom line.

there is a moonshining system that i heard apparently was in the server back in the day (couldve been fake news), asking for diverse range of alcohol is quite a stretch but overall +1 to another form of money making that is already around, even if it wasnt as profitable as drugs it would encourage a new range of RP, business ideas, faction ideas for future apps/current ones and civilian RP

too*

How did I assist in the transfer between characters though? If I helped process drugs for someone's Alt I was unaware of it, I helped everyone that asked to process drugs. And as for the grabbing of the stuff from all I knew was one of our guys got banned and I was trying to grab his drugs out of the room to ensure that illegal items do not get left unattended. I was unaware that it was a mass ban situation and was only told one of our guys had gotten banned, if I should have left those drugs there then I would have if staff instructed me to as I was unaware of this.

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.

I think it would be a good idea to have a piano in the church so that we can play the Funeral March and the Wedding March. Which would provide a good RP opportunity.

I was killed in crossfire by the cops, I never had a gun out, I didn't attack the police, I wasn't involved in the situation, I was just domed by some probie for no reason

Hello, While it’s good to hear you believe you may have a firmer grasp on the rules and have reflected in your actions. Due to the egregiousness of your actions in particular, and how still recent it was, I do not view you someone who we can be confident in trusting with PET flags. I recommend you appeal after more time has elapsed so it can be reviewed then.

it is end of march. we deserve sunlight and clear skies
