-1 TLDR: Keep jmooresy banned cake. Starting diverge I had jmz repeatedly shout abuse at me with no context of the rp of the server, later finding out that this guy was a staff member and was treating me like this in my first steps of the server could've pushed some people away so I'm glad I knew to ignore someone just dribbling hatred for no reason as after this and joining a faction that wasn't just shouting abuse at me. Further more I've had this guy show up to an apt in ghetto, switch to his staff char to see what was happening and then switch back to his main char. (What a lovely second meeting). During the conflict I had repeatedly again received abuse (including telling me to kill myself) from jmz but also from his cronies who were instructed to spout the same hatred that this insecure wee guy had spent months shouting at me. Finally moving on from my own bias and looking at the situation from a wider perspective, this is just me, I've talked to other people with similar experiences, these are the people who have stuck around, how many people has jmooresy bullied off the server before the got a chance to explore it? With the events that took place and in the lead up to the ban jmooresy was known to be a nuisance, but went over the line truly with the doxxing. To upload a ban appeal 6 days later stating to have changed, while hanging around in diverge general in my personal opinion shows a lack of growth and learning and more of a desperate plea and bargaining to try and claw his way back in without fully taking on the consequences of what he has done, without thinking about now others may feel about him being back, especially those who has harassed and ultimately doxxed, minor or not it's a complete arsehole move and I would be disappointed with the higher ups of the server if a ban was lifted so soon for behaviour that is hurting the servers player base at an ooc level. If you're reading to this point jmooresy, I do feel bad for you, I get you've spent a lot of time and money creating friendships and community on the server but I do think you need to reflect on how you make others feel before you open your mouth sometimes, not even as a staff member but as a player too, I have to give it to you recently you were becoming less cuntish but once again you've only got yourself to blame for the events that happened which lead us to your ban.20 points

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 reason19 points

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.17 points

His father was a machinist, and his mother worked nights in a local bar. Raised in a working-class home, Ludwig grew up with oil on his hands and fire in his chest. He became a skilled mechanic by sixteen, known for rebuilding engines from scrap. But Hamburg’s streets taught him more than wrenches and torque they taught him how to survive. In 1949, at age 19, Ludwig left Germany. He'd been caught up in a few too many fights, one involving a rival gang and a knife. Facing potential charges, He fled to america where he fought in the Korean war serving under the 35th Fighter Squadron.

In NYC, he worked in auto shops, fixing muscle cars and Harleys for cash. It was in a Brooklyn garage that he met members of the Sons of Silence Motorcycle Club - Midwest-born outlaws who were slowly expanding east. Ludwig’s grit, mechanical genius, and refusal to back down earned him respect fast. By 1987, he was a patched member, and by 1988, he was President of the NYC-based chapter, known as “Mad Dog” for how unbreakable he seemed on the road. Under his leadership, the chapter grew.

Now in about to turn 60, Ludwig Schultz is a grizzled outlaw with deep scars and deeper connections. He's seen both brotherhood and betrayal, built empires and burned bridges. In NYC’s biker underworld, his name carries weight equal parts legend and warning.17 points

Name of Faction: Kinahan Crime Family Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 24+ Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Irish Name of Character running the faction: Christopher "Dapper" Kinahan Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): Goblins12 Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:231340025 Your Server playtime: 2w 14H - I am the "temporary" Don - because the Don's computer was destroyed. To the Don has an additional 1 month 2 week. 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): https://docs.google.com/document/d/17ERUGKLb3udpWeT4jnk_XGnndUrPlhoKA2vJrvxRFRc/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): In the Kinahan we plan to open a good ol’ Irish Pub called “The Rusty Shamrock”, at least that was the name of the Pub we had back In Dublin. This allows us to not only have a good experience for the citizens of New York as they come through and get a drink, but lets us operate behind the scenes, doing deals, having sit-downs, and having that Irish private experience behind closed doors. Running the day-to-day of the Pub will be nice and time consuming for our Hangaround and lower members. In addition to the Pub and its dealings, The Kinahan also prides Itself on Its Independence, being made up of surviving members of the IRA and families who were victimized by the Orange Order. As such, we don’t tolerate being controlled or bottle-necked by other factions. Compared to your usual “Italian” group, we don’t just sit behind closed doors and complain, we get out there, we get our hands dirty, and most of all we’re not going to be quiet about it. The Kinahans are a group that won’t take shit, and aren’t afraid to receive it. We’ll frequently get our boys together to trash stores owned by people who’ve disrespected us, key their cars, and do everything we can to drive them mad until they’re ready for an ol’ Irish Shootout (aka we’re firebombing ya and lighting you up with AK’s, up the RA). As for event Ideas there are plenty of things we can do for our boys to keep them engaged. Being an Irish faction we can "Receive shipments of weapons” from the IRA, or even hold mini Racket Events (Context: NOT that racket change event you guys had recently) where they encourage members to bring in the most money they can to support our efforts with the IRA. Another type of event we can hold is a good ol’ drinking contest. We can work this into a variety of ways, maybe things like “Fastest while Drunk, Longest police chase while drunk” Etc. At the end of the day, the Kinahan Clan Is a brotherhood that prides Itself on Independence and not taking shit from any group or party, and we’ll do everything to remind our remembers that so long as we have one another, the Kinahan Clan won’t be suppressed or put-out by anyone. Tiocfaidh ár lá - "Our Time Will Come" Organization Backstory (Min. of 250+ Words & any images): By the mid-1980s, Dublin was on edge. You could feel it in the air—the city was changing, the streets harder, more desperate. Christy Kinahan wasn’t a stranger to those streets. Raised in the rougher parts of Dublin, Christy wasn’t born into anything but struggle. He’d seen the kind of life most people couldn’t imagine. But it was a life that shaped him. A life where the only way out was to get your hands dirty and never look back. At first, it was small. Christy wasn’t from some big crime family—he was just a man with an eye for an opportunity. When the drugs started hitting Dublin in the '80s, he wasn’t one to shy away from the chance. Hashish, cocaine—it wasn’t glamorous, but it paid. And by ‘86, Christy was already working his way through the supply lines, moving product quietly but steadily. He didn’t need the spotlight. In fact, he avoided it. Christy knew how to keep his head down while other guys were out there making noise. He worked with the old-timers in the city—dock workers, shady business owners, the kinds of people who knew how to get things done under the radar. But by 1989, Christy wasn’t just sticking to Dublin anymore. He’d started making connections outside the city, talking to people who could help him spread his reach. He wasn’t just about the street trade anymore. The Kinahans were starting to grow, quietly, strategically. Money started moving through other businesses—construction firms, bars, shipping docks. It wasn’t the kind of work anyone would ever boast about, but it was the kind that kept the empire alive, building piece by piece. The real shift came when Christy took it international. The early ‘89s were when the game changed. Christy made his move with European and South American cartels, controlling the cocaine flow into Europe.17 points

I know we're way closer to the 90s than we are the 80s, but video arcades were still fairly predominant up until consoles really took off in the early 2000s. We could add to the 80s theme by adding a video arcade whether it'd be public or a private racket / business. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1528767279 https://www.gmodstore.com/market/view/arcade-machines-2-realistic-arcade-gaming Most of this stuff is public, will obviously need a lot of development to make it work with all the current systems, but if it's a private business license you can apply for, maybe there can be an unused building made for this kind of thing like an arcade. Either: A) It's public, and people can play and the way it'd work is after so much score, like let's say their final score is around 1000, this would give them a "100 ticket" item (could use the casino number plates if you wanted to, or create a custom ticket model, either or really) in their inventory. 10,000 score, "1000 tickets" etc, etc. They would then go to the vendor / npc in the building and sell them for real money like oil companies do with their barrels of oil. B) If it's a private business, it'd be the same thing but the family / business would be the only ones with access to the NPC and can sell tickets and give the person a large cut of however many tickets they gave them. (up to the business and / or the law however they want to make it work). EDIT: Instead of a ticket system you could also just utilize the coin exchange machine. Let the business set the price for coins and they can collect the cash the vendor generates. In the end, this could be very legit. People can do their VR chat RP in the arcade, shoot the shit while playing Galaga or some other game, while others who are more serious and want to continue conducting their illegal business and running their shipments don't have to hear "skibidi rizz" and "gmod" / other ooc terms every corner they take. This could isolate a lot of those people to the video arcade if done well and free up a lot of OOC traffic on the streets, while providing another potential legal way for businesses to make money. (I don't know if this is the correct addon I've linked above, but this is what I would guess the games would look like as the addon as well as this video was uploaded a long time ago).17 points

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.

I'm making a stand against your boring, standing around RP! I have decided to join every faction on the server, incognito to find out which factions have the best and which have the worst, 'new hire RP'. Don't take it too seriously, it's all for fun. I'm aware that different people will hire people differently, take your factions ranking with a pinch of salt. if your faction isn't listed. I'll be updating with the missing ones as, and when. There are some older reviews that I will also be updating to. For the factions that haven't been reviewed yet, you get the upper hand in knowing, i'm on my way. Rules - There must be a minimum of 5 players online for me to join the faction. - There will be no bias from myself. The ranking is purely based on my experience with being hired into your faction. - I will stay entirely in character and avoid any OOC talk. - I won't let it slip that it's me, just in case there is any bias. - I'll RP a lot with /me's - If the opportunity presents itself, I'll make at least 1 mistake to see how the employer reacts. Takahashi 1/10 I walked into the Pho King and asked for a job. After a few minutes of two people discussing who would hire me, I was brought to the nearby bank and given some clothes. I was then told to stand outside and work security, without being told how. I was left entirely on my own for the full duration of the hire. The only time people would interact with me was to get my name. There was a bunch of mid to higher up guys inside just discussing OOC stuff and minging for almost the whole duration. After my mandatory 30 minutes of being AFK, I was brought into the back and then whitelisted in. I was given no formal introduction, wasn't given any faction rules. Just a pat on the back and told to 'go grind'. PRO: None. CON: Too many people messing around, nobody was serious at all. Lucchese 8/10 I walked into the Blue Lobster and asked for a job. I was pulled into the back and quizzed right away. I was asked what experience I had and was made to answer questions about myself. I was quickly given some clothing and a bat and was put on security. The job was fully explained to me, and I was told who to go to if I had any problems. It wasn't standing outside for long before one of the managers shouted me inside and threw a cloth at me and told me to wipe down some tables. He watched as I was wiping them down, telling me I missed a spot etc. There was also another hire working at the same time who was making a bunch of mistakes, and was getting chewed out for it, which made the RP more exciting. I was then asked to take a milkshake over to a table, I deliberately dropped it on the table and the customer made some noises because it had spilt. The manager apologised on my behalf and made me clean it up and get a fresh one delivered. After that I was returned back to the door. After a small amount of time I was brought to a secluded location and was told that I was being invited into a family, I had the family rules fully explained to me and was eventually whitelisted in. PRO: Good resteraunt RP. Was a little different from the usual standing around, although there was a little of it. Great RP skills of those inside. CON: Could be amped up even more, really give the new hires some bitch work to complete. Rudaj 4/10 I approached their bakery and asked for a job. There was a bit of back and forth with the employer asking me questions, to make sure I fit the bill. He got me fitted for a suit and gave me a bat and told me that I was going to be his personal security and I needed to accompany him whilst he takes care of business. He brought me along to his shipment collection, and to pick up some of his friends. During this time I was accidentally hit by a car and almost killed. The guy who employed me took it personally and made it his mission to track the guy down and make him apologise. This would've been a good way to fill the time with some RP but the employer constantly spoke OOC and just wasn't taking it seriously at all. After some driving around and recon, we found the guy working at the Takahashi gun shop. We went in and demanded an apology, the individual apologised and we moved on. We then went back to the bakery and I was whitelisted in straight away. Wasn't given any low down, or rules etc. PRO: Fun little side mission, although I think if I wasn't hit by a car, I would've ended up standing around for the entire duration. A happy accident. CON: RP wasn't taken seriously at all. Sons of Silence 5/10 Headed to the Dead Dog Saloon and asked for work. I was quickly taken care of, and got situated with a suit and a baseball bat. I was put to work on security, which came with the standard 'standing around RP'. I was tabbed out for almost the entirety of this. Although the hiring RP was incredibly boring, I will note that the faction members stayed in character really well and the people who I did get to interact with, role-played really well. After my mandatory standing around time - I was brought into the warehouse and this is where the RP got a little more exciting. The employer wasn't just going to invite me in. He conducted a full interview before hand. He wanted to know things like where I was from, am I a good mechanic and what certain things meant to me etc. I answered all of the questions and then was whitelisted into the faction. He then reeled off the rules (which actually sounded a lot like the Diamond rules I wrote years ago lmao) PRO: The interview before whitelist was very in-depth and actually made me think about how I would respond, like my answer mattered to me getting into the club or not. CON: Way too much standing around doing fuck all. With an entire bar inside, my entire RP experience was confined to standing outside a door. Altoviti 5/10 I approached the motel and asked one of the workers for a job and he told me to follow him. He took me to the hardware store and clothing store to get situated. We then walked back to the motel and I was told to hang around in case 'something happens'. I waited for 5 or so minutes before he asked me to accompany him to the electronics store and back. After that I headed back to the Motel where I met some management, briefly. I was then tabbed out for around 20 minutes, with utterly no interaction at all. Eventually the manager came back and my employer asked if he could get me in full time. He said he needed another 5-10... I waited. After that I was brought into the Motel back room and asked a few questions and then got invited into the faction. After I was brought in, the manager told me to come with him to the car dealer, where I was given money for a company car. He then took out his own car and told me to drive, to get a feel for the city. He told me to head to Corbizzi's, I was given directions because I didn't know where it was. As we arrived, he brought me up to the Napoli rooms and this is where I was given the full family rules and told what is expected of me. The manager's RP was very good and stayed in character the whole time. As we left Napoli I was introduced to some more whitelisted members, who all interacted with me and asked questions, rather than just fish for my ID. PRO: The post whitelist RP was fun, eventful and I actually felt like I had joined a mob. CON: It's a shame everything before it was incredibly boring, with little to no RP. It's crazy that with a property the size of the motel that new hires aren't cleaning rooms etc. Bonanno 2/10 I approached Dom's Diner and asked the guy outside for a job. He asked a few questions and then said 'wait here whilst I get you some clothes'. Around 5 mins later he returned and gave me some clothes. I put them on and he explained that I would be working security. I was never told how to work security and wasn't even given a bat. I stood around for over half an hour almost entirely AFK. There was occasionally a higher up who would pop in and out and interacted with me and showed his RP skills by making comments on my chars description (i put that I had a silver cross around my neck), but it was mainly to get my name. As time went on there was the odd conversation with my employer but he every time he would go somewhere else and leave me on the door. There wasn't much RP at all. Eventually I was pulled into the back and given the discord link, He didn't have hire perms though, so I was left without a whitelist and told to 'find someone who can hire you in, you are fully hired but you just need to find someone who can whitelist you'. There was no formal introduction. I didn't feel like I was about to join a mob at all. PRO: One of the other hires was always in character. CON: Everything else. Almost no RP at all. Standing around simulator. Supreme Team 6/10 I made a black character and hung out where I knew Supreme hang out. I spoke to a random dude and asked for a job. I was brought to the apartment block near the car dealer and told to hang tight. I met a few people whilst my employer ran off to get me some clothes and a bat. When he came back he gave me them and got me situated. I was standing on the door for maybe 5-10 minutes top when I was then told to get in a car and brought to the docks. From there I was whitelisted in straight away, after joining the discord. From then, I was brought to the car dealer and was set up with a custom car, I was told to get in another car and go with some of my new gang members. I was brought to the ghetto and was told to empty the trunk (it was full of weed growing stuff). I was brought to a room and my employer explained to me how to grow weed and he went through the full process. After some time doing a grow, I accompanied them to to the docks and I was told I need to make 15k in a week to qualify for a promotion. I was told to grind oil, I then left on my own to go and do that. Worth noting that everybody stayed in character pretty much the entire time. Definitely felt the African-American vibe. PRO: Stayed in character, set me about growing rather than standing around. CON: Where this falls short is how quickly I was whitelisted. If the growing and stuff was included BEFORE I was whitelisted then this would've been a higher mark. Also the rules, and formal introduction are needed. The only thing i was told was 'get 15k'. I was never even told the name of the faction lol Gambino 10/10 I approached their restaurant and asked for a job. I was asked my name and briefly quizzed about what I was looking for, my employer was roleplaying with an accent and brought me into the back. He got me situated with a knife and some clothes and he told me to stand at the door, and in the same breath he changed his mind and invited me to go for a walk. I was brought around all of Little Italy and explained where was good, where was not so good etc. We walked through city hall and stopped off at a bakery and had some good restaurant RP where we ate banana bread and talked openly about the city, my history etc. After that we hit a server crash so I just went back to the business and was introduced to somebody else. He took me on a short walk to Napoli where I was frisked. We roleplayed him taking my boot knife off me. I was then brought into a room where I met some shadowy figures and was presented with a choice, take my pay and leave or take a weapon and see how far the Italian RP rabbit hole goes. I of course chose the gun, I was told that there is someone who owes some gambling debts that needs to pay up or I need to take him out. My new hiring rep walked me down to the area and waited outside. I knocked on the door of the boathouse and asked to use the phone because my car had broken down, once inside I pulled a gun and demanded the money from my mark. He shrieked and started shouting about not having it as he spent it on his daughter's cancer treatment. I executed him. Upon walking back to the room I was made to recite an oath, if I wanted to continue on my journey. I was asked to make promises for the faction and the don etc. After answering correctly I was invited in and was offered the discord link. I then went with my hire rep and he showed me where to process, where to obtain oil and where to sell it. Staying in character the entire time. PRO: Outstanding RP. Not once did anybody ever break character, this RP was very reminiscent of when I joined my first RP server back in 2021 (shout out Backwoods and the OG Cassanos). I felt like I was joining a crime family. Not ONCE was I made to wait around doing fucking nothing. CON: The only con I have is that I wasn't really told anybodies nicknames. This review was conducted during some server fallout, luckily I didn't need anybody's names to continue the RP. Kosher Nostra 1/10 I began by making a Jewish character, and walked over to the deli with my Kippah asking for a job. One of the individuals I spoke to invited me inside and asked me to sit tight, he then said 'let me get my gay lover over here' and then 'Menace, get over to the deli' I thought 'oh shit hereee we go lmao'. Menace didn't come and the guy had me sit tight for a while, before deciding he would hire me himself. He made me give him my name and then passed me 4k to go and get some oil, he told me to get it and either keep it or come back. I ordered the oil, waited around for it to be delivered and then found my employer again and gave him the two barrels that I ordered. He then told me to come with him, brought me into a secluded back room, took a picture of my ID and patted me down. Once I passed the test, I was given the faction hire prompt. The head enforcer then appraoched me and pointed a gun in my face so he could check me over (this was probably the highlight of the whole RP). My employer then very briefly told me the factions drug of choice and that I don't have kick ups this week but it will be X next week. I was then sent on my way. PRO: The head enforcer appears to be doing his job well? CON: Honestly? everything else. Extremely lack-luster hiring. My employer didn't even tell me what I was being brought into, it lacked the 'Jewy' aspect almost entirely. There is a HUGE amount of space in that area. I could've been set cleaning rooms, cleaning the Deli or the huge space next door. I was hired in almost IMMEDIATELY too. A lot of RP work required imo14 points

What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I have many Reasons for applying the main one being that I feel like its my time to apply for staff. I have thought about it many times over the last 2ish years i have played the city. Over that time I have learned the rules of the city and feel like I could be a good staff member. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: i have top 5 playtime so I have seen any rule break that could happen. I have also learned a lot from the people who Recommended me for staff. I am very willing to learn new things. That's why I should be be Considered over other candidates. Do you have any previous staffing experience?

If so, why?:No I have not 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 that I am well known with in the community.

Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?:If I'm not doing anything I would swap to my staff char if there is a ticket for it. But if I'm doing some Role play i would finish it and take the ticket if no one has not taken it already. If it turns in to mass rdm I would stop what i am doing at take 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?:I would get Info like clips ect of what they are doing. If i find anything that i think could be brought up to ua or higher up staff member I would inform them. If nothings found or there's not enough info i would just let them know i have seen them doing it and let them investigate. 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 avoid the ticket to avoid bias if I knew that this person was in my faction or friend, this will help people get the most fair ruling rather than something that can come off biased. If there was no one else on to take it then I would try to come at it with a very open and neutral headspace. Make sure all the proof is there to make a unbiased decision.13 points

I am of the long standing opinion that the existing PK song is fucking BEANS (negative) and the song "That's Life" is wayyyyyyyyyyyy more fitting. I even made this concept video on it in early 2023m but I have been silenced and railroaded preventing it from being implemented. https://streamable.com/kpfyf013 points

In-Game Name(s): Howard Ronnie Dong / Judge Carbon Mason Steam Name: TroubledGhost Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Troubledd/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:90789839 Discord Username: rufie. (dont forget the .) Age: 27 When did you first join the server: Winter of 2023 I believe Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 3mo 1w 6d 11h 29m Time Zone: GMT/BST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: Currently really active so on most of the day - once employed, time dedication will be determined, and hopeful can contribute few hours-many hours most days, more so on the weekends - god willing. 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- willing and keen 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?: * Mainly because I enjoy this community, the people in it and the server itself and want to do more for the community and server by applying myself and previous staffing experience to further learn and apply on diverge. I wish to become apart of the staff to also help take care of the server, it's rules and the players and believe I can fit into the team as well as being an even more helpful active member of the community knowing most of the people, I want to also be able to assist the team and people in any way shape or form in the role of a staff member and take it to the next level. When i started playing diverge I had about just under 2k hours on gmod.. Now I got 5k hours... I thoroughly enjoy this community, server and the people and want to be able to help, experience a new aspect. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I do bring experience with me, having previously staffed in other servers, other games as well as owning some myself. I have developed a positive rapport with a lot of the other active members of the community and understand the fine lines and boundaries related to the rules. I would call my self a peoples person able to deal with situation respectfully and professionally, particularly conflict resolutions. I am someone who is understanding and can be diplomatic, however assertive when required especially in dealing with problems and tickets, able to put biases aside and mitigate them as best as I can and my foot down regardless if they are friends or not- ensuring to conduct my responsibilities correctly and as how they should be conducted. I can dedicate a lot of time and able to communicate clearly and be responsible. Having played on this server for a long while, meeting old players from before Diverge and current ones, I am able to say I can get along with them and use my skills and past experiences to assist in enforcing the rules whilst keeping a good rapport with the people - which I believe allows me to be more effective when dealing with issues. In addition, I have a good foundational understanding of the rules, knowing what to do, when to do it and how to do it if at all permissible. Being friendly and interacting with many other staff members, I would say I have a good relation with some of those on the team and hope to also build even better relations with others too. From my time playing, I am someone who was banned a lot at the start of my time on diverge, however overtime I've put actual intent and motivation to read the rules and play within them. I able to be a team player and not hesitate to reasonably assist or ask for assistance and take my role seriously as there is a huge amount of responsibility riding on us to fulfil our responsibilities which I understand and aim to adhere to. In addition I do play with malicious intent, so I am approachable and ready to assist. I am someone who is a quick learner, being able to learn from mistakes and get better. I am someone who intends to always do right and be just, knowing when to do/say things and when not to do/say things. Having the experience playing on this server, kept up with its developments overtime and people I wish to take my position in the community to the next level and have an opportunity to do better, be better and do more for the server - growing along side with the server and the active members in the community. I'd hope people can sense my potential and desire to be apart of the team and are keen to give me a chance which i do NOT intend to screw up whatsoever. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Gmod: 1. LuckyDucky Jailbreak Moderator (5 months before it got shut down - 2016), 2.My own DarkRP server as Co-Owner (~4 months before we moved on around 2017), 3. Moderator on another Jailbreak server back in 2014 which i forgot the name of, was moderator for about 3 months before went to college. SCP Secret Laboratory: 1, SCP Lockdown Community Manager/Head Admin ~ 1 year - - 2023/2024. Minecraft: 1. Moderator & Admin old MC server around 2013 around 3 months (Firecraft). 2. Minecraft server owner 2013- Around 2 months (closed it down); 3. CanadiaCraft 2012 - Trial-Mod/Mod before got shutdown; 4. MinecraftTowny 2015 - Admin - 9 months - server closed down. There are many more but i dont remember them :') Now am an idle bee. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, I had quite the extensive history mostly related to RDM (most of them were accidental might I add...anywho kidding aside), RDM POs, one for failRP, exploiting (which were promptly raised as bugs to staff), and an old one for powergame and NITRP if i recall correctly. Quite a few of these bans had unbans issued after appealing as some were mistakes or unjust. There were a few times it was warranted and the long breaks showed me I do want to be involved in the server and not muck about. My most recent ban was 2x RDM including RDM in a sit, after someone rage baiting actually managed to make me rage (rare right?) however since returning we blessed it up and moved on. They laughed at me and taunted me for getting a ban and it got to me. Not proud of it. Made it only worse for myself. And I learnt a lesson that day, not to get rage baited.. 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 well known in the community. I am known to be a civilian and judge character main. People are aware that I am able to provide them with assistance related to Legal RP as a lawyer/advisor or other RP that involves getting people out of arrests... cleaning things up... being a middle man in sourcing goods, clothing or products... being a test dummy for their new hired... security services... knowledge about other things related to court, law, rp, server rules etc... providing other goods or services whilst maintaining a good rapport and getting paid. In addition people know me for having good and funny spontaneous RP based on whatever is happening around us, whether it is opening up certain shops for clothing/moonshine... doing construction work... or other unique RP scenarios. As well as assisting in their clothes or build designs, giving input etc. As a casual player who can be serious when required, I believe I can be viewed someone who is dependable related to certain situations, particularly by allies. I built rapport, trust and respect with many people and intend to do so with whomever I may. I tend to avoid places that do very serious RP events to not infringe on the RP going on. Those factions and players I am close with I tend to spend more time around them, however when asked to leave or when serious things are going on (drug trades etc) I most certainly oblige. I would say people are aware I know my boundaries and am respectful.. but they are also aware if prompted will fight back. I can be classed as annoying at times, and it is fair dos as sometimes it happens and people would ban me from places, but we eventually kiss and make up afterwards for it is not in my intention to be a nuisance and people know it's more so "harmless" annoyance. All in all I would hope people find me respectful, fun and an interesting person to be around. A few may view me goofy/silly at times (within reasonable grounds of the on going RP and rules of the server). With those I am close with we may goof around between us however it is within the rules and can be humorous. Essentially good times, good laughs and good events. I will state at the start of my time here I was more so disliked than liked, particularly being labelled as a cop baiting minge. But with time and effort I can happily say thank god that things have changed for the better, and people have given me a chance which I have taken and accepted and hopefully returned the favour. They allowed me into their circles - entrusted me with a lot which normal civilians would certainly not be privy too and that they trust me - for I am not a man who intends to break their word or bond. And I hope other active members of the community could attest to this and give me an opportunity to take on this step and entrust me to deal with their issues, which I intend to do with full seriousness, justice and commitment to the rules and quality standards required. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Among the many this is one of them... https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kjUffIkuAWdKpuO6e?invite=cr-MSxLdm4sMTk2MzAwODIx ,,, i can confirm the ticket was eventually concluded. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Cpt Caboose. Toast. Shards. Dopeasroe. Boosted. Falcon (will update should others recommend too). ------------------------------------------------- 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 off duty, I will allow on duty staff to collect it. If i notice it wasn't dealt with I shall attempt to communicate with on duty staff and see if they can take it. If they do not handle it or communicate, then I shall switch over and handle the ticket when appropriate in terms of on going RP scenarios. (of course if it serious in that it is an active MRDM situation then i'd switch over immediately and deal with it). 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 record, document and gather evidences to provide to UA. If i know them well I would also talk to them to please chillout and that is wrong (if I dont know them too well I would consider briefly communicate to them to also stop - but depends) ensuring this is also all recorded. Abuse shouldn't be occurring. 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 say this could certainly constitute as 'possible' Bias. Unfortunately bias exists in all that we do whether intentionally or unintentionally and regarding the dealing of bias, I believe a more preventative approach can be ideal, for example I would avoid taking such tickets unless absolutely necessary, and will communicate with other staff who are online and request for them to deal with it to mitigate potential bias ensuring to raise potential conflict of interest/bias to ensure the ticket is dealt with appropriate and justly. If it becomes a case where I must deal with the ticket, then I shall - ensuring my actions are just and appropriate regardless if they are close friends or not ensuring to attempt biases do not influence my decisions.12 points

Name of Character: Jarquavious Reginald III SteamID:STEAM_0:1:178155888 Your Discord ID#:Simplevibes47 Date of PK: 03/06/2025 Reason for PK: Breaking Fear rp (But i disagree) FearRP Rule 12 Breaking Fear RP while being detained by Police. If the police are detaining you for a crime and you break FEAR rp by pulling a weapon on them the NYPD are still within their right to react in self defense. This can and will be considered initiating a violent confrontation with police EVEN if you never managed to fire the weapon. Why should you be un PK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: This makes no sense i never shot to a officer and could barely hear him over the 12 people talking in conjunction. I was pked for not following a order that i could not hear at all . as shown in the video i was shooting the active shooter trying to protect my safety .(in the video i am the one with a jew beret and a jew security outfit and black beard i get shot in the back of the head by 3 cops as shown) ) If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines:https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/jPu4ZYalKpOeon_uL?invite=cr-MSw3NWgsMTk3MTkzNTEwLA12 points

Hello all, I've discovered kind of a loophole to the whole "Don't work with police, but making statements to cops is fine" pk rules. The current rule states: Which, on its face seems entirely fine. But since we're on the federal rules of evidence in the courts, it creates a stark, immediate issue. Originally, Hearsay was much more restricted. So, a cop hearing a victim say "Hey man that guys stealing my car" (this was a case against me i'm referencing here, guys already dead in an unrelated pk), the officers *can* include that in their affidavits to prove that the victim did have a crime committed against them. So, the current rule being that reporting a crime isnt enough; reporting the crime actually *is* enough to prosecute someone. Their statements can be considered testimony under two rules: FRE 803(1) FRE 803(2) These rules state that hearsay is acceptable and admissible in court if it is: (1) - Present Sense Impression: A statement describing or explaining an event or condition, made while or immediately after the declarant perceived it. (2) - Excited Utterance - A statement relating to a startling event or condition, made while the declarant was under the stress of excitement that it caused. So what does this mean for criminals? Someone yelling out "Officer this guy just killed someone" or "Officer, that guy stole my car" or "Officer he has a gun on him!" is ALL admissible in court. It's all usable. The person need not testify, that *is* usable by the officers' testimony. And the courts can, and always have had the capacity, to convict someone under a singular affidavit (which is debatable considering a previous precedent, but could still reasonably happen right now). My suggestion is very easy to understand. A new addition to the rule. A "Duty to contest". It works very simply. Joe Mecli, a civilian, witnesses someone shoot a guy. He yells out "Officer, that guy shot someone" when he sees a cop, who was not a witness to the actual crime. The officer, having heard the blast, arrests the guy on attempted murder charges or some other charges related (Discharge, Unlawful conduct, yadayada). Well now criminal guy Joe Gambino is in a dicey situation. Joe Gambino, is now allowed, by the rules, that if the testimony of the cop reflects what Joe Mecli said, he can locate Joe Mecli, and threaten him to "Contest". Appear in court and say "Nah that didnt happen". This is the most fair addition to the rule, reflecting the new rules of evidence, and how we deal with witness statements. Now that the DAs office is aware that they can do this shit, they're going to be doing it *a lot*. And there needs to be a balance. The technicality of the rules should be that you have to locate the person in game, Identify them somehow (tie them to the name), and threaten them that they have to get you an affidavit stating the *opposite* before discovery closes. This should be done with at least 24 hours BEFORE discovery closes, as to provide ample time. Then, if they refuse to testify, or they switch sides again on the stand and say its true and the guy is a criminal, the family of that criminal should be able to give orders on the Joe Mecli, the civilian, for snitching. Kind of a long one, but here's my change to the rule I would make: You cannot PK a civilian for simply witnessing or reporting a crime, it's natural for normal civilians to call the Police or report incidents, while you may attack them for this it is not considered a valid PK reason. You may only PK a Civilian if they are actively collaborating with a government agency to take you down, i.e. signing an affidavit or working directly with police beyond the initial report. If their statements to police are later used by police to establish that a crime was committed, you may locate, identify, and threaten the individual in order to write an affidavit contesting that they never made those statements. If they fail to write that affidavit before discovery closes, or refuse to testify thereafter, or testify and state the opposite (thereby further implicating you), you may PK that person.11 points

Hello! I'm the one who was in the clip- otherwise known as "Moon!" In your own clip you can see that Moon did see both of you approach! It was only after I was able to glance at both of you that you put a mask on! As for your PK, I was in the city and saw that you were at an ATM I let someone know (Who was previously briefed on the day moon was mugged that it was you who mugged moon) and confirmed that you were the intended person and the rest was well... history!11 points

When recruiting people, you might have someone train for you because you're a lazy sack of shit. Sometimes these trainings might not be done properly, yadada, and thats purely the fault of who told you to train right? But what happens in the case of people who don't get invited to the faction discord for example. Crucial step right there, because now you have an un-tracked faction member that can do whatever the fuck they want. Im yapping, heres my proposal. A faction "lock-down" option to whitelisting. Factions may choose to enable or disable this, basically it will not allow anyone to be whitelisted to your faction (staff cannot whitelist TO faction) UNLESS you have C menu recruitment permissions. This will stop the leak of random low level associates/interns from being able to just go "@ whitelist this guy" and causing problems, under the faction whitelist. Maybe I'm just a horrible faction leader idk, but I've caught a bunch of people just blatantly racket abusing recently in my faction (Brown and Sons Co.), yet I cannot do anything about it, other than just unwhitelist them and get staff to note/ban/punish etc.11 points

Your Character or Steam Name: Raymond Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): 76561199380807322 Your Discord ID#: 965737745131642961 Reason for ban: Item Transfer. Length of ban: Perma Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): apology Why should you be unbanned? . I am going to start off by saying what lead up to the ban and then why I should be unban. First off, when I was ban I was ban for Item transferring (there is a script to prevent it). Me and a long time friend and ooc family member wanted to test out the new PK script. He texted me one day and asked if I wanted to PK one of my old characters, i said why not because I was not going to use it anymore, and why not have a good rp with it. So what we did was I mugged one of their chars in the crew so then they would have a reason and they could get a good clip for an edit or YouTube video (not really sure what it was for either YouTube or something else all I know is it was being clipped for something). So then once everything happened and the guy I mugged got set free, I went to drop the stuff I took out of the guys pockets and dropped it. I know that the rule book does state " you may not transfer money or items between any of your characters in anyway. Nor are you allowed to act as the middleman for someone else's item or money transfer. Transferring items or money between two of your characters is not permitted under any circumstance." This quote says how any type/sort of item transferring is strictly prohibited no matter who your doing it for. I am wondering if we can do a zero tolerance policy/ 1 strike policy if you choose to remove my ban. I do understand it was wrong and I do understand that I have extensive POs. I know that what staff may see when they see my play time and my past POs may think that I am not worthy of being the the community but I owe up to what I did. It was a first for me, I have never item transferred before. I have tried to do any type of item transferring, but for some reason on this day I thought it would be a good Idea, I am not sure why and now I deeply regret it. I want to be able to come back and play with the people that I have played with for years from other servers and with people I have met in this server. I think I am ready to come back and that staff should take this appeal into consideration. I think that this 1 strike policy will allow me to be able to play and prove my self to the staff that I am worthy. Take you for your attention to this Matter! Additional Information (images, videos, etc): Likewise you may not transfer money or items between any of your characters in anyway. Nor are you allowed to act as the middleman for someone else's item or money transfer. Transferring items or money between two of your characters is not permitted under any circumstance.10 points

In-Game Name(s): Shaniqua Buffalino/Terry Lawrence Steam Name: shauningt Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/shauningt/ Steam ID: Steam_0:0:59300760 Discord Username: Shauningt Age: 24 When did you first join the server: January 2025 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2 Months 5 Days 19 Hours 46 Minutes. Time Zone: UK GMT/BST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 2/3 hours during the week, 4/5 hours on Saturday/Sunday 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 Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes ------------------------------------------------- Long Answer What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * Being very honest my main motivation is to one day become a game master running small and medium sized scriptless events for players but to get there I understand what is expected, even when a gamemaster that being staff comes first. Outside of the long term goal, I would like to become a staff member to help with the community, often being on during low populated hours for the early morning UK folks to about midday where there isn't many staff members on. Along with this I would obviously also help in peak hours too. Having a staff member on during low populated hours though is useful for those who might experience issues that stop them coming back to the server. Overall my motivation stems from wanting to protect peoples experience, and improve their quality of experience while on the server. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * Although I'm not experienced with SAM and/or Nutscript commands, I am willing to learn, and able to admit when I need help with something, rather than going rogue and trying to do my own thing. I also understand that there is a learning curve within these roles and won't get frustrated when decisions might be overturned by senior staff members too. I understand server rules and the importance of and how to expand player experiences alive. I would also listen when needed, but also push back and question why something may be happening if it seems wrong at the right time and place. When doing work I am resilient and also like to work to a high standard as I know my work represents me as a person as well, I'd rather be out there known to be doing high quality pieces of work even if that means that I'm taking my time when doing it and getting fully up to speed with what is needed to be a staff member. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I have previously been an event manager of the Stasis Starwars RP for a year from 2017-2018. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No, I do have a couple of notes, for incidents being genuine mistakes that I have since learned from. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I'd say that I am known in my circles, I would like to think that people see me as approachable and open to converse. When out and about in the city I try to show to respect to everyone, not starting beefs for no reason and even when presented with conflict I'd prefer to settle it with a talk rather than drawing guns. I'm gonna be honest too, theres a circle of people who I know don't like me, like to call me trans, etc., frankly I don't care about these comments and wouldn't let this get in the way of an unbiased view when staffing. When playing, my perspective is there being a split between my char and my actual self, so anything Shaniqua/Terry experiences is then separate from staff shauningt. As a staff member I'd rather have a reputation of being fair and unbiased, but also being a genuine help to anyone who opens a ticket no matter what faction they're in. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Since starting in January I've had plenty of laughs but also plenty of serious RP moments, one of which a small event that I coordinated within people of my faction. We organised for a high profiles member car to be taken (a character I was playing stole the car). We gathered all the active associates to then chase the car down without using guns and keeping the cops attention away from what was going on, the event ended with a hostage situation that was deescalated. It was a small event that didn't impact the wider server but it was fun for everyone who has involved, it was great getting associates involved with something that wasn't the usual grinding and put emphasis to RPing. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Callink, Falcon ------------------------------------------------- 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?: *Edit. Didnt answer my bad. Any issue that involves myself should be handled by another member of the team, meaning that the issue is looked out without bias, and removes the question of any vendettas, or abuse of power coming from a spur of the moment incident. I'd follow the usual process that any other player would do, making a ticket, presenting evidence and having a sit. 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 to this situation would be: First I'd start by reaching out for an informal chat either in game or on discord, just to check in that they know what theyre doing is wrong sorta thing, if what theyre doing is nothing too noticeable it might be that they thought what they were doing was okay, or they didn't realise it was having an impact on RP. If it were to continue I'd send them a message so the issue can be dated and can be in writing where we both acknowledge the situation in a paper trail, and if they continue there is evidence of them being told what they're doing is wrong. Continuing after this I'd prevent the evidence (clips, messages, etc.) to the chain of command to ensure that the right person is able to deal with the situation correctly, rather than publicly airing out any disputes this would be done privately between the accused, myself and the chain of command. 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?: There are two routes in this situation to take: Way 1 (less severe incidents): Deal with the ticket like any other ticket for this sort of infraction, if its minging, this would be dealt with on basis of the severity of minging, if they're just being annoying, doing the usual sit giving them a warning/note. For things such as RDM, again following the usual protocol of investigating the incident with clips, logs, etc and applying the correct punishment to the infraction they've committed. Way 2 (more severe incidents): If I know that I am going to have an extreme bias or trouble assessing the situation from the perspective of all parties I would either call in another moderator/senior staff for support and explain how my bias may be influencing a final outcome and ask for their opinion before committing to it. This means there is a less chance of an appeal if a third party has also been involved within the situation, although as a staff member myself I should be this third party myself, as previously stating, taking my character out of decisions and following the rules of the server equally for everyone as a staff member. ---------------------------------------------------------10 points

Right now, rumour is 60% saying retarded shit without facing RP consequences, and 40% being used properly. I think there could be a few ways to go about changing this. 1 - Its removal entirely, and adding a system similar to the city board for creating an actual marketplace for criminals, and then enabling OOC. (The OOC part is optional) 2 - Adding a cooldown, to incentivize using it for its intended purpose, and enforcing misuse 3- Creating a flag for it, and whenever someone misuses it, they lose access for x amount of time based on the severity of the punishment. It'll also make the server seem more serious to newer players, not seeing a glorified ooc chat going off with stupid messages 24/710 points

was looking at the hardware trading npc and noticed the gasoline, would be cool if after a pk you could cremate it, brings the risk of attracting attention because of the fire but it'd also allow you to burn away evidence if successful. could add a way to put the fire out if police get to it before everything is fully burnt away too!10 points

Name of Character: Chris two shits amato Character ID: 184236 SteamID: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Trapwalker/ Your Discord ID#: chris.443 Date of PK: 11/25/2025 Reason for PK: failmug. Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: My intentions were not to mug or partake in the mugging, i was merely just standing by and watching and observing. i was not trying to partake in the mugging as i was really just along for the ride and merely seeing what was going on. Again this is my first time playing the game so i don't know what was going on and really was just watching and witnessing. for i had worked real hard to make a grind and join my current faction and i feel i was falsely lead into this trap that now led to me being PKed.9 points

Name of Character: Dahlia "Bella" Brooke Character ID: :175069 SteamID:STEAM_0:1:929959980 Your Discord ID#:1182345402444431423 Date of PK: 9/24/25 Reason for PK: I accidentally alt f4 shortly after getting my first bones. I had no idea there was a timer involved with staying after you pk someone. it was my first time killing someone and I did not mean to alt f4. I was reloading in right after. Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I should be unpk'd because I was unaware of the timer set in place for leaving after a pk. I was never informed about that when I was in the situation. this is my first time ever pking someone and I knew I was already doing something wrong. I didnt know leaving was wrong as well. I worked very hard to get my character where it is today and id like a second chance to continue progressing on her. I know the rules in place now and I am sure it will never happen again. also the person I was set to pk was a full rp scenario, the person was a white shirt with no affiliation to anyone or any factions. it was all setup for me to get my bones for the first time. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: here's a clip the staff sent me, I know u can't tell but leaving was a complete mistake, I didn't even mean to hop out of the car but I just went with it anyways, all of this was such an accident and I truly had no idea I could get pk or I would've just sat in a building and not touched my keyboard.9 points

Your Character or Steam Name: MADlarkin Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:524882549 Your Discord ID#: madlark Reason for ban: Dox Threats on 11/30/2022 Length of ban: Perm Reason for appeal (apology): So I recognize a handful of things in my ban and the reasoning behind it. I was both childish and immature in my actions. It was foolish to even say what I said in sheer anger. I never would have done it. I simply do not have the knowhow or the tools necessary anyways even if I did. I understand that the reason I was banned is a severe one and this will often not be lifted lightly. I have waited nearly three years and hope that this lengthy sentence adds some sort of strength to my request. Why should you be unbanned?: I never had the means nor true motive to carry out my baseless threat. While I understand that this does not minimize my actions, I hope the added context in combination with my sincere remorse on the matter may be enough to warrant a final chance. I do also accept that if I fuck up one more time that it may be final which is something I can live with for the chance to be able to play with my friends again. I hope that my words had no true lasting effect on anyone and I will atone for them whether or not this is the case. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): I accept that I am at the mercy of the community on this one, and know that the chances are not entirely high. I just hope that some mercy can be spared for me so I can come back to be an upstanding member of the community. In the time since the ban, I have not tried to alt or weasel my way around the rules. I have learned my lesson and sincerely wish to come play with my friends again.9 points

(Unless you have posted a valid LOA): yes Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: 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?: * I really enjoy this server and have had a lot of fun playing here, I've ended up spending a lot more time on it this year then I expected, and I'd like to give back by helping out as a mod. I'm especially interested in helping during times that not many staff are on like late nights or early weekends to help make sure things are running smooth and fair for everyone:) Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I think I should be considered over other candidates because I'm a very approachable person and easy to communicate with. I also have real-life management experience which has taught me how to handle situations calmly, diffuse conflicts, and take fair approaches when making decisions. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): no 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 don't know if i would say well known but there is a fair amount of people who know me and I would assume people find me helpful and approachable. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: War was fun really enjoyed the dedication people put in at the time Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: ZQ & yummekoo ------------------------------------------------- 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?: Clip it tell another staff member, If there was no one else on I would just pull the people involved and get perspectives and hand out the consequence's based off my best judgement. 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 ask the fellow staff member what's going on see if maybe I'm just unaware of something and If it doesn't seem to add up I would bring it up with someone in the next chain of command. 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 try to have another staff member take the ticket to avoid bias but if there's no one that can I would get all perspectives and dish out whatever is necessary based on proper chain of escalation. ---------------------------------------------------------9 points

Just a small thing, but can add to roleplay and decoration to pubs, and adds a small game to play with friends. I think there's a mod for it called MBillards, if I'm not mistaken.9 points

Name of Character: James Calruso SteamID: STEAM_0:0:53399904 Your Discord ID#: Crossbowhunter00 Date of PK: 04/21/2025 Reason for PK: Mugged a clown for a prospect cut back they stole. Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: The timer seemed to long, A clown was in possession of a Faction Whitelist only item. I mugged the person wearing it with a bandana and had him blind folded after getting the Cut back. we waited out the timer for about 45min to an hour after doing so in a tinted vehicle we drove and the clown was driving behind us the car we were riding in despawned that the Driver had keys to during which an admin was following around and talking in game so idk what happened with the car situation and the clown was in the vehicle and it was shot by others not even the clown and I got blown up. The main reason is the timer I feel was to long past. please look into the timer and check it out I don't understand how the car disappeared I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time. I do also understand people get an extended timer Just seemed to long. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k8uXRZwoXmyPqITeU?invite=cr-MSxSQ1UsMjUyMzA3MDU49 points

I genuinely think it’s fair to implement a character lock on PD alts when your main character is actively involved in a conflict. At the very least, locking PD alts during active conflict should be a no-brainer. We’ve all seen it: as soon as something heats up against one side, suddenly 10 PD alts fly in and swarm the situation. Let’s not pretend this isn’t happening please. For full transparency—I do have a PD alt, but I’ve barely touched it aside from doing supervisory duties for activity reasons. I get that PD is active right now and there’s a lot going on, but there are absolutely situations where the involvement starts to feel biased.

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. Ill first state that this kill was not coming from any escalation from any current conflictions going on in the server. This kill was not approved prior by UA as Money Blue alluded to above, but with that being said I will break down kill. Evidence was shown that you had been harassing the Kosher Deli multiple times and clearly had pissed some people off. So yes, you were a target, but there is a difference between targeting a faction for a mug, versus targeting an individual for a mugging because of his actions. While escalation rules may dictate the appropriate time a faction can target an enemy faction with mugging, the two factions are currently not at an escalation level, thus making your claim null and void. The muggers were on main characters, and YOU decided to chase them to a secluded location which on the mugging map is a “mug where you stand” location. Upon entering the back room you were confronted with guns to your face with the verbal command to put your hands up which would place you under FearRp. As stated in the rules : “Note that you must have a valid reason to place someone under FearRP (See FearRP rules), initiating a mugging is a valid reason to hold someone under fear RP”. If you read item 9 under mugging rules, it states: There are several ways you may initiate a mugging, the following actions can be considered initiation of a mugging: - Attempting to Zip tie someone [Does not apply if you BAIT people into tying you by saying they may or by stealing their items, therefore forcing them to tie you to retrieve them.] - Holding someone at gunpoint with the intention of mugging them - Holding someone at gunpoint to pull them to a secluded location for a mugging Thus making this a valid initiation of a mugging, as they were attempting for you to go back into the back room. You turn to leave and another verbal command of get back here was given, which was clearly heard in the clip that was provided. If we continue down to item 10 of the mugging rules it sates: When can you kill someone in a mugging for it to be considered a PK? - You must FIRST, properly initiate a mugging (See Mugging Rule 9.) - They attempt to flee while you have them at gunpoint/fear rp. (Does not apply if you disengage fear rp. See fear rp rules) - They attempt to fight back while you have them at gunpoint/fear rp. (Does not apply if you disengage fear rp. See fear rp rules) - They attempt to move or avoid being restrained while you tie them under fear rp. - If they disobey direct orders multiple times (while under fear rp) which leads to complications in the mugging. ex: Refuses to stay still and moves one or two steps at a time to try and escape, refuses to stop talking leading to someone overhearing the mugging. - They do not obey a reasonable demand in a reasonable amount of time. ex: Ordering them to follow you (while under fear RP) and refusing to move after several requests and a reasonable amount of time to obey, effectively stalling the mugging to be discovered. If we follow down the chain of events, the mugging was initiated correctly, you were brought under FearRp correctly, you decided to attempt to flee while you were under gunpoint/fearrp, thus making you PK active. As I stated previously, this was not done in any regards to any faction escalation, but you decided to test your luck and harass a business and they choose to mug you as a response, and during this mug your choices led to this being an acceptable PK. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k1SV3CsOTlU5P_bDC?invite=cr-MSxpTHMsMzMwODc5MDY https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/k32TSLs19TSuLOdCV?invite=cr-MSwwblcsMzMwODc5MDY9 points

Your Character or Steam Name: Tinker Von Spunky - Palma Your SteamID: STEAM_0:0:55674022 Your Discord ID#: palmavirtuti Reason for ban: RDM - LTAP Length of ban: 24 Hours Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): I didn't RDM anyone and i most definitely didn't LTAP lol. The detective i killed complained as he was dying that the crime he was arresting my friend for was not a felony (even tho it literally is lol) and i left the server like 30 minutes after i killed him (not sure of actual time), No staff members spoke to me or dm'd me. I'm just now finding out about my ban 5 hours after it happened. Why should you be unbanned? I didn't rdm anyone and even if i had, I've been playing on the server for more than 2 years now and literally have 0 staff notes on my account.

I'm not sure why this isn't a thing but just doing a (for example) /itar to speak Italian through radio so everyone and their Mother can't hear what anyone has said on your radio channel. I would assume this wouldn't be too hard to implement.9 points

Banning admin here, 15 notes and 13 bans over 2 years. 3 Permanent bans, need I say more? Actually I will. You and your friend both admit to it. When I first tp your friend to the sit, he calls you your friend. You're wearing the same exact outfit. You then get tped to the sit saying you've never seen this man in your life. 'Going to the PD to test our guns'. Yea.... Alright.... Are you in the NYPD faction? No, so you're just cop baiting then, because when you got banned, you were on 'Mark Scheck'. Weird how he doesn't have a gun license, but you're a lawyer, and love to roleplay legal rp so much. Cool, so thats the second lie detected. You are a plague that simply has no cure, you cause nothing but pain for everything around you. You get other people implicated without them even knowing about it, not only did you get re-perma banned, but your friend caught a week ban. While Izumi, also caught a 3 day ban for supplying this mass rdm. Oh also, forgot to mention, in the sit you said and I quote word for word 'I never shot anyone'. Then we pull up the logs, and.... you did.... Ontop of that, literally just having your friend do the RDMing for you, doesn't mean you get off scott free. I really would say the classic line of 'you know better', but you genuinely do not and never will, you cannot play by the rules, nor can you follow simple instructions to not crash-out at every second you have. You got un-permad on the 14th. You did not make it more than two weeks without breaking a rule or mass rdming. Congratulations? I don't even know what your goal is at this point. As much I'd love to say I dislike you for being you Hamburgler, its not even about you anymore, its about the fact that you never learn and I hold nothing against you, but you simply are not fit to play the server whatsoever. Hate me if you must, but you brought this upon yourself.9 points
