(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.

Most cartels uphold a reputation for their public acts of violence, where we are going to take it to a more hidden and professional place. Instead of dressing like some thugs, our guys will present themselves as serious, legitimate businessmen. https://docs.google.com/document/d/13qQUfVFqBn32N0XOuniL-DmwURz9SmQsWEzpKL7C93g/edit?usp=sharing Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested.

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.

Name of Faction: The Galician Mob Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 18 Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Crime Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Spanish Origin Name of Character running the faction: Sergio Pérez Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): buckethatbarry Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:429847568 Your Server playtime: 5mo 1w 5d 10h 40m (3,898 Hours) 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) - Overall The Galician Mob is a faction focused on character-driven roleplay. Our faction is based on a real-world group (The Galician Mafia), meaning we will have ties to real-world history. In the 1970s, the Galician Mob began using fishermen to smuggle cigarettes through European borders and into Spain. With boats leaving from the US allowing for a state-based monopoly, the individuals stationed in New York will continue to do what their ancestors did before them, getting cocaine from New York and pushing it back out into the waters under the disguise of fishing. Through the 1980s, the pressure continued to rise on American drug markets and cartels. The Galician Mob continued to utilize these established routes, shifting their focus to more lucrative items such as money laundering and the infiltration of politics, individuals in power, and legal networks. Apparel The faction has the intention to wear a relaxed clothing scheme. We will not force our members to wear certain apparel, opening the door to individual diversity in terms of custom apparel, etc. However, at times we may wear suits during certain roleplay situations. We have no issue with members wearing relaxed clothing as long as it doesn't stray too far from our factions ethnicity. Restaurant We’d like to turn the West Side Drug Store into our restaurant of choice. We have the intention of having the interior altered and changed for our purposes, as our faction has background ties to “fishing,” and we’d like to explore that side of the server in terms of fishing on the docks. Our intentions are angled toward the idea of fishing as a whole, as it ties into our background. Faction Goals Fishing wasn’t good enough for us—working too hard and getting not enough in terms of pay. We have the intention of distributing our racket through the city. Our goals consist of importing and exporting useful items through New York, making money, and possibly being in a position of power within the city. On a side note, we’d like to push out weekly fishing competitions highlighting the fishing side of New York. We aim to provide for our fellow fishermen and push forward the fishing community, whether that be giving out prizes and rewards to those who compete, or having a custom DUP for the area when we go through with it. We would like to smuggle weaponry and illicit substances obtained in New York back to Spain/Mexico for profit. Hiring Process Instead of hiring white shirts off the side of the road, dressing them, and forcing them to work in Don Pez, we plan to make sure they are a suitable fit for the faction—maybe taking them out to the docks for some fishing. Having them prove themselves to our ranking infrastructure, or even putting them to work after a small but necessary screening process. After all, Don Pez is well known for its diversity in food, taste, and employees. In terms of the screening process, we will have our soon-to-be employees out completing small tasks for us, such as making deliveries, handling any outstanding debts we may be owed, and showing not only their worth but their value. We’d like to explore the roleplaying aspect of the server more thoroughly in hopes this creates an even better environment in terms of faction-to-faction talks.

Name of Faction: Murder, Inc (Murder, Incorporated) Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 18 Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Organized Syndicate Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc):Mutli-Ethnic Name of Character running the faction: Richard Mazza Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): bakedoutamind Your SteamID: STEAM_1:1:493953043 Your Server playtime: 2 months 3 weeks 7 hours 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): Our intention with Murder, Inc. is to offer an organized roleplaying experience of a multi-ethnic criminal enterprise based on reputation and professional relationships rather than “families” or any other stereotypical outfits. We intentionally made our organization multi-ethnic rather than limiting to just one group of people in order to open up further roleplay potential for a wider group of people and characters and to showcase the furthered success a faction can have by removing this largely limiting factor. In our faction, there will be a high degree of professionalism, competence, and reliability. This will allow us to form a fluid and flexible organization capable of acting independently and unbound to specific ethnic, racial, or cultural ties. Our roleplay will be professional contract killings performed by trusted members according to the specific needs of our clients. High-quality performance, complete discretion, and organization will be the most important factors in determining the success of each job. Being the best and the only choice ofr those who need discreet murder services, we plan to build a reputation as a reliable and efficient organization. Additionally, we will perform various other criminal activities to sustain our network and provide for our members. Protection, collection of debts, and trafficking will be among these activities. However, our main goal will remain professional performance of tasks. Our members will have to act in accordance with the rules that we lay out for them. Our roleplay will be based on professional interactions with our contacts and clients, as well as with other factions. Some likely roleplay scenarios we would conduct include negotiating and planning high-level hits and meticulously building positive relationships and a reputation with other factions. When conflicts take place, they will be organized and meaningful, developed step-by-step from negotiations to confrontations and escalations. As a result, we will get a lot of interesting roleplay going such as law enforcement investigations, confrontation with other factions, and fighting to establish our reputation in the criminal scene dominated by old-world crime families. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): Our faction is based around professional contract work, long-term reputation management, and a multi-layered street network. To keep our members active within Murder, Inc., we plan to promote structured operations and a thorough system of progression rather than random and infrequent events. One major point we want to emphasize is the concept of contract developments. Before any high-level hit is approved, members of our faction will have to do their due diligence. This will look like determining client standing, risk assessment, and whether or not the contract is logically sound. The idea is for this to create multi-day roleplay situations involving “surveillance” such as tailing, trading information, and controlled meetings/sitdowns. Not every contract will be accepted, which encourages discussion, tension, and internal politics. We will also run a ladder progression type system for our members. New members will not immediately participate in high-profile work. They will begin with smaller assignments such as collections, message delivery, and/or intimidation. Performance, discretion, and discipline will determine an individual’s advancement in Murder, Inc. This will provide a clear in-character path for growth and will give newer players structured goals. Another major roleplay opportunity is the actual planning of our work/operations. These will look like structured meetings where members will break down target profiles, escape routes, and fallback scenarios. This will allow for collaborative roleplay where every role matters, such as drivers, lookouts, and shooters. Even members not directly involved in a job will remain active through equipment sourcing and safehouse management. To integrate ourselves into the city itself, we plan to host some scale of front-facing business. Members will engage with legitimate business that will create natural roleplay. These will provide faction activity even when no criminal contract is active and will strengthen immersion within the server. Finally, we will give plenty of material for law enforcement and government characters. After major jobs and operations, members will have to adapt to pressure from the police, adjust routines, and manage public perception (both in the criminal and public side of things). This will keep the roleplay active even after a contract concludes and will allow for long-term roleplay between our faction, other factions, and the government.

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?

(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.

Your Character or Steam Name: Coconut, Dr. Marco bernardi, Callum hazard Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:114065865 Your Discord ID#: C.oco Reason for ban: goodbye!! Enjoy fiveM with the others Length of ban: Perma Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? Realistically I know this probably wont be accepted this earlier. Ive been around long enough to know that. Im kind of hoping for a reduced ban. Again presuming this wont be the case. Ive been playing Diverge and mafia RP for over 5-6 years ive seen all come and go. Ive seen many eras of mafia rp. as well as the people. I will hold my hands up and say since I got pkd on my og Bonnano char and even before that ive been very mouthy and have said my piece multiple time. The state of the beef on the server and the constant shitty ooc squabbles all from years ago has got very out of hand from both sides. I had been playing recently to be the guy that would go out and defend my faction in these situations. Rather than be HC and try resolve it with words. The situation today happened because someone took a IC photo of another Lucchese who was taking photos of them. This resulted in everyone coming over and starting a situation outside of the meat market ending in some words being exchanged. I exchanged some words back because vinny had previously said some words against me as well as a bunch of lucchese saying some very horrible words towards me that can effect **IRL** Consciences for any info on those messages u can dm me. This resulted in a sitdown asking for the death of my character and presumably ended there. Until my Ban. I will put my hands up and say that was a very dumb decision to talk back to those issues. I believe my many roles on the server such as, First Deputy Commissioner, Underboss, First Deputy Mayor, Councilman, FBI, Staff was to push for more roleplay especially my most recent run in Crim rp where I believe. I was a advocate for more roleplay on the server by (Although not deemed very nice by most) reporting members for breaking RP as well as creating and coordinating player ran roleplay events. Anyhow Ill accepted all the -1s from everyone but for a guy that has played the server for 5-6 years and has accumulated a total of 1 day and 1 hour ban on his record I would love for the chance to come back in the future and help out Btown. Worst comes to worst I hope the best for BTOWN and Bullets!! +1 String Additional Information (images, videos, etc):

In-Game Name(s): - James "Noir" McGriff [Underboss] • Steam Name: Andy • Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/xsfqnn/ • Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:439522528 • Discord Username: xqkhu • Age: 21 • When did you first join the server: 25 August 2024 • Total playtime on our Servers: 2.162 Hours (2mo 4w 2d 2h 34m) • Time Zone: GMT +3 • How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: Even on days when im busy i can probably still get on and put in few hours of work • 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?: Yes • Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: Yes • Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • What is your motivation/reason for applying?: In my free time i usually spend time on the forum and Diverge Gen. I honestly enjoy helping people and giving advice to new players, i also reached a point where i dont have to constantly grind money anymore so i want to try something different and experience a non faction role. I have been roleplaying on the server for almost 2 years and i really enjoy being part of this community. Over time i became interested in how things work behind the scenes and how staff deal with different situations. That interest is one of the reasons why i want to become a part of the staff team • Why should you be considered over other candidates?: There are three different things that set me apart from the other applicants. First i have a lot of free time that i can dedicate to this role. Second, because of the time zone difference the hours when the server needs staff the most are normal hours for me so i can help cover those dead hours. Lastly i used to be someone who broke a lot of rules and didn't really care but once i realized how much being part of this community meant to me i made an effort to learn them. At this point i'd say ive memorized almost all of the rules. I learned from my past mistakes and because of that experience i believe i know the rules better than most players • Do you have any previous staffing experience?: I've been playing Garry's Mod since around 2016-2017. During that time ive been a staff member on several Turkish servers mostly DarkRP but also servers like HogwartsRP and StarWarsRP. However compared to Diverge ive never held a staff role on a big server or any platform worth mentioning before • Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, I've been banned and received notes multiple times before. Like I mentioned when explaining my motivation reason, i used to be a player who didnt care much about the rules. However over time i learned them and i truly believe ive changed. Its been almost 3 months since my last Staff Application and during that time ive spent around 1,100 hours on the server. Throughout those 1,100 hours i havent committed a single rule violation that required staff intervention or resulted in any punishment • Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * At this point i believe i am a well known person in the community. If you asked me this question in the past i would have had to admit that my reputation was terrible. However after i started caring more about the server, respecting the rules and changing the way i treated people, i believe many people started seeing me in a better way. I dont think there are many people left who have a negative opinion of me • What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: When i think about my best moments the first thing that comes to mind is participating in Racket War '89 with Le Mob French as part of the core group. We were only 6 people but we managed to finish 7th on the server. Other than that joining Racket War '90 with the Bruno Scarfo family, moving to Supreme Team, being allowed to create my own crew, having 15 people flag up on the first day and eventually becoming HC (Underboss) are some of the moments I value the most.These are easily some of my happiest and best memories on Diverge • Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: DopeAsRoe (Ex-Seasoned Administrator) Boosted (Administrator) Sips (Administrator) SexaphoneGod (Administrator) Alfe (Administrator) Jennay (Administrator) Crocie (Administrator) Ka1 (Administrator) Wickers (Administrator) Plummet (Moderator) Auxiliary (Moderator) Ender (Moderator) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: It depends on the situation. If there are no staff members online and the player is clearly going into MRDM or seriously ruining other peoples RP i would switch to my staff character and step in. but only if there are no other active staff available and the player is actively disrupting the server. Otherwise i don't think its right to handle an RDM case that im involved in or witnessed myself. In those situations i would either create a ticket or let another staff member deal with it if possible • 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?: It kinda depends on the severity of the situation. If its something minor and i dont think they did it intentionally i would simply warn them about it and tell them to be more careful. Howeve, if the situation is serious i would make a Staff Report like any other player, provide the evidence and information i have and let the UA handle the situation • A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?: If a situation like this happens and there is evidence i wouldnt care at all if the person was my friend. I would do my duty and take the necessary actions. However if a complaint was made and i knew this player was capable of doing something like that but there was no evidence, i would seriously warn them and make it clear that if i ever witnessed something like that our friendship would not stop me from giving them the punishment they deserve. I think the most important thing for a staff member is not letting personal feelings affect their decisions. Whether it's a friend or someone you don't like shouldn't matter. I would look at the situation, treat every player fairly and make sure the correct action is taken no matter who it is

From what I saw, it felt like the players involved acted out of OOC frustration or personal issues instead of their characters’ actual motives. It broke the immersion and made the roleplay feel unfair, which is disappointing since I’ve always tried to take RP seriously and stay true to my character. I’m not completely sure what the exact reasoning or orders behind my character’s death were, but based on what I’ve heard, it seems like it was influenced more by OOC stuff than anything that made sense IC. There wasn’t proper escalation, and it didn’t fit with my character’s story or any real conflict that would’ve justified it. Also, the player I believe was mainly involved has a history of causing or exaggerating drama and not being fully honest in past situations. so, it’s hard to see this as a fair or natural outcome of roleplay. tldr: we broke up and she got me killed for no reason

Name of Faction: The Wright Crime Family Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 36 and Growing Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Crime Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): English, (British) Name of Character running the faction: Daniel Fernsby Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): ___alex____#0638 Your SteamID: 76561198829389343 Your Server playtime: 3weeks 2days 7hours (559 hours) 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 aim to be a higher class of faction. Bringing elegance and luxury to the city, tying in with our British heritage. As our main business, we would run a gentleman’s club/lounge. This would be considered a higher class establishment, where a strict dress code would be enforced to uphold our classy appearance. Once established, regular members will have the opportunity to purchase a VIP membership to the club where once a member, they will have the opportunity to enter into exclusive giveaways, enter private auctions for exclusive items, eat and drink for free for life, attend private parties, participate in a gentleman's boxing league and much more. We intend to be more business focused, rather than on bloodshed. We aim to have a well established private society, with an illegal racket running in the background. We also plan to have a tailoring shop as an addition onto the club. We aim to make buying clothing a new way of Rping. For example, if someone is to come in looking for a suit we would measure the individual and tailor the suit to them to ensure each item purchased feels personal to the buyer. This will apply for hats, shirts, jackets, and pants. VIP membership would also apply to the tailoring shop, bringing discounts and first dibs on newly stocked clothing items. For our members, we aim to offer a unique and refreshing roleplay experience. Don’t expect the typical stand in front of the door guard that everyone is tired of. We will offer immersive tasks and roleplay for our members to keep them engaged, even from the lowest rank. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): As stated above, we plan to hold private auctions for our "High Roller VIPS". The auctions would start at a much lower price than buying price so there will be a real incentive for people to participate. For faction members we aim to hold weekly "block parties" where faction members and guests can come to mingle. Appreciation and awards will be handed out to top performers of the week. We also want to give new people who come to the faction a more enjoyable time. No more sitting on a door for five years. We aim to have different positions for new members. For example errand runners, bodyguards, drivers, and bartending. One of our biggest goals is to keep new members interested instead of staring into the street senselessly. We plan to have open bar nights where drinks and food are free for anyone. To further iterate on our faction being heavily business based, we intend to build relations with other factions, but in the scenario that someone tries impeding on our business we wont hesitate to show face.

Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 5m 4d 12h 39m Time Zone: GMT/BST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: weekdays about 2-4 hours; weekend significantly longer. 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 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 in applying is to be apart of the staffing community to take a more responsible position within the community and help in safeguarding the city, teaching people and be more involved from a staffing point of view. In addition I am hoping through staffing to end up as a GM to facilitate events and provide service to the community this way too. In addition, I believe having such a responsible role will help me further develop translational skills and help in giving back to the community who have mostly been loving, patient and accepting of me. I enjoy my time on diverge and hope others enjoy my presence. I spent a lot of time in the server and community consistently for the past few years and want to start a new chapter here to help out and give back. I am also applying to ask for an opportunity and chance to prove myself to the community and seniors that I can be entrusted with such responsibilities and be just. Lastly, I want to collaborate with other staff members and be apart of the team that fulfils it's duty and service to the community. If i didnt take this server or gamemode seriously, I would not be here right now writing this application or, heck, be apart of this community at this very moment. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: *I would say I am more mature person and have developed a rapport with significant amount of active people throughout the server, I enjoy spending time with players and hopefully it's the same with them. In addition, I've experience all over the city whether it's being a senior figure in law, policing or criminal factions all the way to being a homeless bum. I would say I am more just and know what's wrong when it is wrong, allowing me to be a dependable, accountable and responsible person - especially knowing when I stepped over a line and am okay to take that punishment or enforce it on others [i.e conflicts between people IC]. I believe I'm good at approaching different types of people which would fair well in this role as you'd deal with many people [serious people, real minges who dont give a crap about their actions, timid people who aren't sure or clear as to what they want etc]. I am someone who can be diplomatic in their approach to a situation or, when needed, assertively. Knowing where the lines are, I can be effective at my job whilst being fair and able to explain my self and actions; ensuring I wouldn't overstep my remit in my position as staff. I believe i'd work well with other staff members, being open to improving myself and taking suggestions [as people would have seen given my past record and how I apply it]. Spending quite a while as a judge, in a role which you CANNOT be corrupt whatsoever, I have sentence many friends away behind bars and given them criminal records; I aim to be as unbiased as possible, especially with an integral position of power. The same applies to the latter when putting someone who openly dislikes me behind bars/convicting, they are treated fairly regardless of their views of me etc. Fairness and justice are essential. As someone who in the past broke a lot of rules, I would say I have a good understanding of them - allowing me to be in this city after being given (many) chances after having learned to follow them and abide. Most importantly, I'm someone willing to learn and improve, having improved many relations with players across the server and my LARPing skills etc. I also have staffing experience, so I believe I can hit the ground running and have a good foundation to develop on further to meet the needs of the staff team and the community. Lastly I believe I can join the team and be a good and approachable team player. I take this more seriously than people would mind to think. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I do, I used to staff on various Minecraft servers (which LONG have shut down back in the 2010s, having roles of Moderation, admin to head admin), owning one at one point. I was also community manager for Lockdown SCP:SL RP. As well as old GMOD which have also closed down a while ago: LuckyDucky servers - Mod ; My own DarkRP server - Owner and im sure others I cannot remember. Aside from SCP:SL i havent staffed since the mid 2010s. But for the interest of this question and confirming names, let's say I just have community manager experience for Lockdown SCP:SL - having about a year in that position before moving on and owning a GMOD server back in the day. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, many a times. To which I would like to thank the community in giving me chances after chances to change, and hopefully you have seen and felt it. My experience within the community has significantly improved and through these bans I've learnt to appreciate the community, the people within and the fun to be had on the server. Most of my bans were RDM related. With the occasional trickle of other stuff like mic spam etc, last one being powergaming in janurary [couldn't disprove as i didnt clip my view to exhonorate me.. took it on the chin]. 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 with a positive reputation. Whilst some would still despise me for being a minge/king minge; I will say in recent times of many months to a year, many have turned a new page with me and I would like to say it is going very positive in terms of their experience. You cant please everyone or make them like you, but I will say majority of the plays hopefully view me positively as i'm someone who makes RP happen spontaneously, have fun and do crazy stuff whilst also have engaging conversations. Sure I can be annoying to some at times, but eh... who isnt at times! What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Last time I posted a clip of my char being in a weird pose when toast took my ticket... so this time... I call it.. the magic teleporter [from the time the world was being DDOS'd]: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/lLKdWKvw0eEN4gNOC?invite=cr-MSwyMmUsMTk2MzAwODIx&v=10 Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Psykho ------------------------------------------------- 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?: Leave it to the other staff members who are on duty, whilst communicating with them If they got it or if they need help. If they are unable to, I would complete whatever RP situation I am in and find an appropriate time to switch to take the ticket and respond to 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?: Collect evidence and Let a more senior staff be made aware via staff report ticket/discord etc. (Though if it's UA.. then I'd probably watch and laugh at what is transpiring unto the poor souls.) 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 is definite possible bias. I would let other staff members handle it / deal with the ticket with me not being involved in any way shape or form, unless strictly necessary . If other staff staff are unable to deal with it. I would deal with it in an unbiased manner and enforce the rules upon them with bans, notes etc regardless if they're friends or not. Have to be fair and just in upholding the rules regardless. Allow me the opportunity and let me prove to y'all I got this. Looking for a chance. I wont waste it.

In-Game Name(s): Donald "Knowledge" Mcgriff Steam Name:DON Steam Profile Link:https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199211356319/ Steam ID:STEAM_0:1:625545295 Discord Username: spliffydrip Age:25 When did you first join the server: Mon, 31 Mar 2025 03:17:48 GMT Total playtime on our Servers :3mo 3w 4d 10h 18m Char playtime: 2000+ hours Time Zone: Eastern time zone. How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 7 hours per day. 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? Yes. Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: The names don't ring a bell. It's been a very long time, but if it's anything like other servers, I'll be fine. If not, I'm a very fast learner. Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes. ------------------------------------------------- What is your motivation/reason for applying?: Im a long time veteran in the city. Not only have i experienced the entire new hiring experience, but I have grown into a position of authority in my home company, earning the title of faction leader. I have grown familiar with all the systems of money making. I am fluent in the rules within the city, as well as most of the standard laws we must abide as citizens. I have also grown very well acquainted with members of other factions and their leadership; having attended many sitdowns, hosting events, and even weddings. I feel as though my experience and what some would consider, expertise, can grant me an exceptional advantage and understanding of other players situations. Not only would I be able to judge right and wrong from an impartial standpoint, but I can also see through the surface reasons of a mugging (for example) and be able to consider the underlying reasons it may or may not have a political effect in the city. I would also like to have more of a lasting impact in a place where I spend hundreds of hours of my life. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: As previously stated, not only am I a long time veteran with high command experience; I am also a grinder, a faction leader, and someone who has been at the hand of verifiable unjust rulings by staff. I feel as though ive made myself a pillar of the south side community, and with that, there are many other players who would vouch for my comradery and business minded decisions. I have carried the weight of a faction through good and bad times. I have also just as many if not more hours in the day to spend staffing as I have spent making money for my people. I am also available during times where staff is typically not online, so I can cover their off hours. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): When I was 16 or younger for a few smaller servers, I'm 25 now. I don't remember the names but Ive got some experience with being admin and moderator. The knowledge would come back to me quickly im sure. If not, I have no fear in asking questions or getting a more experienced staff member to back up, or consider my decisions to confirm that I am being fair and impartial throughout my time as a staff member. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, quite recently, but the ban was deemed unjust due to lack of evidence and was removed from my record. Edit: Also, I had a 2-day ban last year for using Discord to set a mugging bounty on someone. Almost forgot about that; just found out you can use diverge bot to check your ban history and join date. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I'm the faction leader of the Supreme Team. Most people know me and respect me. I sell suits to a lot of people and deal with lots of people on a daily basis. Not only do my decisions carry weight for those in my company, but in my alliance I am a vocal and inspiring player to those around me. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Chess Park, 6/3/89 when a group of party goers took a stand for their Civil and Constitutional Rights against an army of tyrant Police Officers. We were just there to listen to music and party, but then the feds showed up and tried to quell our fun. We took a stand against this disparity of justice and stood our ground against the tyrants. Even my Consig "Trick Trick" was falsely arrested for knowing his rights. This made such an impact on us as a company we even made a role for it on the discord. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: swlvft, z67h. 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 and there are other staff active and needing to take tickets, I will not get in their way. If it is a situation like I face quite often, where im on in the morning and it is low pop for staff, I am more than willing to step up to make sure the players are not waiting around for someone else to get on. I would "clock-in" as staff and stick around to not only handle the RDM ticket, but be there in case more situations should arise. 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?: Report them to upper administration. This is the exact reason I am wanting to be in this position because I want all judgements to be fair. If I at least make the staff leads aware of the situation, I have done the minimum amount of my due diligence as a fellow member of staff to support the current player base. If need be I can also make a staff report on the forum page. In either of these situations I will come armed with either clips, log screenshots, or other evidence that will solidify my report as being reliable. 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?: As a staff member I am going to refrain from taking tickets related to my own company. I do not want this to create a bias in my leadership or ability to be a staff member. Even though I have full intentions of being completely unbiased, we have seen before that this tends to be an issue. If there is another staff member available I will make sure they take the ticket instead of me. If not I will attempt to contact other staff to get in city and inform those involved to remake tickets once that staff member has come online.

Oil Containers, LSD Barrels, and Meth Barrels all have the same image. This leads to confusion when trying to sort out between all 3. Example 1: You're selling oil to Rockefeller, but accidentally put in LSD or Meth Example 2: You're doing a crew deal for LSD: Meth, but something either gets mixed up or an accidental oil container gets slipped in there Although these things can be solved through close examination of every item, it would be best if all 3 aren't the same image. Perhaps a change in color for each of the barrels could be a good addition, or different images altogether for LSD and Meth.

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.

Now we in the 90s, quaaludes started dying out and Ecstasy/MDMA became more popular. So maybe we could swap the drugs over and keep them at same price or slight increase or decrease of price. Also changes things up as Drug Rackets have been the same for a while.

Hi banning admin here. I was asked to weigh in on, and then enact your ban during a conversation with at least 6 other staff members, including staff higher ranking than myself. Looking through your logs, it is blatantly apparent to me, as well as the other staff, that you don't intend to roleplay. In your previous appeal, you said: "If I get unbanned, I plan to roleplay and add to the servers experience instead of take away from it. If I come back to the server I won't be mugging at all, shouting at people for no reason, or breaking any rules." So far you have spent most of your time mugging, outside of that AFK'ing at your property, and making negative and cringeworthy Underground Advertisement endlessly. It's worth noting that hiring a few people and ordering oil is not what constitutes roleplay. Your provided evidence of roleplay is also pretty sub-par. You have been known to mug various people who blatantly have nothing of value on their person, which to my eye is likely PK hunting. You make the core of your character, down to his nickname, about mugging. You post a large number of rumours per session gloating about your muggings, and announcing plans for your next muggings. All of this adds up, as well as your previous bans and reputation - to show that you are just a mugging character, who can provide little to no valuable roleplay to the server. The testimony of a small handful of Takahashi players that you "have been helpful in the 1 week you were there" is not doing much to disprove that, either. PK hunting, most failmugs (which you have done at least one) and NITRP are all bannable offenses. Referencing Canadian's judgement on your perma ban appeal: "If you are banned again it will be extended to permanent once more." Thus I extended your ban to permanent. TL;DR - I was asked to ban you if I believed your actions constituted a ban, I did, as did numerous other staff. You had a 1 strike, you're out policy laid out to you when you were unperma'd. Good luck on the appeal.

Name of Faction: Marielitos Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 11 obviously hella more to come Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Street gang Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Strictly cuban, no other ethnicity will be allowed to keep cultural accuracy. Name of Character running the faction: Diego Hernández Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): tobins Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:526506620 Your Server playtime: 3mo 2w 6d 4h 37m 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): The main goal of this faction is to be unorthodox in an attempt to facilitate new RP (or rather bring back) lost concepts from diverges past. The most obvious part of this is being a street gang, I think its vital to the server to have differing variety in factions with differing structures, ideals, end goals. I think the main problem is that all the factions have the same goal currently, make a ton of money and advance their racket. The goal of this faction is to act as an alternative from the rest, We do not intend to make a profit or achieve a high end racket. We simply want to provide realistic street gang roleplay without the pressure of constantly processing. With that being said, taking things by violence and domination is the centerpiece of a street gang. Obviously rampant violence and robberies have a negative connotation on the server and is closely tied to mingy behavior. In which we plan to counter this belief by making this a hard faction to join and be extremely picky about who to let in. The faction will not be tailored around a typical crime family structure but rather a crew structure to reflect the reality of a street gang. It will not be a big faction by any means and I can say that confidently now instead of sugarcoating it, I want this to be a niche group of quality role-players that set an example of how to be selective with members and etc. The most controversial part of this faction which I think will be unpopular but I think is worth the experiment, I intend on making people apply to join this faction, I want to really dig out the minges and bad larpers associated with a street gang. The application process would compose of something like a character backstory, providing RP examples, and obviously asking them what they bring to the table RP wise. The application inherently is completely OOC but I feel like it will get a good grasp on mingy behavior and I think my track record goes to show my stance on minges and poor RPers Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): I am not going to sugarcoat this either and make up nonsense event ideas I'm never going to do, but I can guarantee that we will have power vacuums to keep things interesting and make sure people are not emotionally attached to their gmod items, especially as a street gang member. The best way to keep people interested is to keep them on their toes, even though the vacuum is fabricated to a degree, you still have the risk of losing your character which all people accept is going to happen especially when they join a faction. These dynamics can lead to fun situations between juggling external and internal affairs where we all have fun which is the point of the faction. Also as aforementioned, the exclusivity of the faction is a big selling point for the faction and should motivate people to be good at RP and what they do to hold their spot which is critical in retention. This application is shorter than most because I will not fill an application with false promises for approval, these are the intentions and how we will convey them.

I am great at building relationships and keeping them steady. Most people know that I enjoy talking about situations then addressing them rather than vice-versa. Some people say Shoot first, ask questions later, I live by Ask questions, shoot later. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: My favorite moments are definitely roleplaying with the boys at SoS. Hanging around running the bar, repairing cars and having each other's back through thick and thin. Its built great friendships so far. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Sean, Bernie and Crimson ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Detail step by step exactly the actions you would take. Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I create a ticket like anyone else would and say that I was RDMed. 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?: Gather the evidence and report them to higher administration. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?: I would let the evidence speak for itself and not take the ticket due to it being possible conflict of interest.

In-Game Name(s): Carlo Lucchese (now Carlo Medici), Marco Vercelli Steam Name: Krokie Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Kro_kie/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:626268130 Discord Username: Crocie Age: 20 When did you first join the server: Sun, 17 Jul 2022 11:12:57 GMT Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 8mo 1w 3d 3h 36m Time Zone: GMT/BST (UK) How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: an hour or two per day 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 Answers What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I've been on the server since 2022 and have made countless memories and friends via diverge. I've considered staffing for a long time but more so recently as I want to benefit the server in more ways that just via my roleplay. I believe becoming a staff member and eventually maybe a GM will allow me to benefit the server in ways past just roleplaying. * Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I've been a consistent player since I joined and have only taken one serious break during that time. During this extended time on the server I've played without being banned by understanding and following the rules. I've also played at all levels on the RP side of the server and therefore have an in depth understanding of RP and how staff should interact with it. * Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I do not have any previous staffing experience. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: I have not been banned. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: Since I started out on diverge I have been a part of factions and friend groups of all types ranging from my first faction (Zolotoy Bratva) under the federation in 2022, to being in my second faction (Diamond Syndicate) under the commission at the start of 2023. Since then I have been High Command in 3 different factions with a wide variety of relationships with the other factions of the server. These relationships with other factions include being at war, being a district and helping lead and manage alliances. Because of this I'd say I have become very well known in the community in a large variety of circles across alliances, friend groups and individual factions. Additionally throughout all of this I believe I have gone without having any major OOC issues with anyone and have pushed RP as much as possible. Thanks to all of this I'm confidant I am very well known, have a good reputation and am reasonably well liked. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: My favourite diverge moment Honourable Mentions: JMoorsey VDM, Bullets TP, Flying Ferrari, Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Pendred ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: If I witnessed the situation, I would start by taking a clip before reaching out in staff chat to inform an on duty member of the team of the situation. If a ticket had already been made/taken, I'd send the staff member dealing with the situation my clip and attempt to give any information on the situation. I would only take the ticket if I was the only staff member online and had not been involved with the situation. 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?: Take clips/screenshots over time to build proof and bring it to Upper Administration. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?: I would first avoid taking the ticket and make staff chat aware that I was avoiding taking it. If I was the only staff member available to take the ticket, then I would request any evidence and information regarding the situation. I would carefully consider this, if unsure I'd request additional opinions from someone uninvolved with the faction/friend. If I came to an understanding that the person the ticket was made against had broken the rules, I'd look into their history of bans and notes before giving them a punishment based on the actions committed and their history.

This is an absurd ban when it should be a mute especially for speaking the truth. Many people were upset by my ban and said I should appeal this to challenge the tyrannical group this pedobait retard surrounded herself with. Additional Information (images, videos, etc):

There is/was a group of 3 ALTers using Aimbot. A lot of people are familiar with the group I am talking about as 2/3 have been Global Rule 1'd (with my very epic clips) they Copbait, ALT, Aimbot, Meta-game, Char Abuse, Mass LTAP ect. I had one banned a while back by the name of "SK" for showing me he was ESPing in a screenshot and he's back doing the same shit with his group of tards again. The claim levied against me is RDMING twice on dead hours for no reason what so ever, however, this is false as I was collecting clips to prove they were committing mass rule breaks as I will prove below, a lot of people are aware of the group I am talking about. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mKjBK3XXut-DCtbPb?invite=cr-MSx5RjIsNDMzOTIyNjc5 - The second to last clip before one of them got Global Ruled, the woman in the clip is apart of the group, her friend hopped on his cop char to attempt to RDM both of us in cells to stop the arrest, obviously the retard didn't load his gun and failed https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mKjFIrMFAzM8s3uFL?invite=cr-MSxvaEosNDMzOTIyNjc5&v=8 - Blatant use of Aimbot on a Cop Char https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mJWNgWCUAs71BEd7-?invite=cr-MSxRVWMsMTk3MTkzNTEw&v=29 - A third person perspective of previous Aimbotting and RDM, you can even see the shooter snap to hit the headshot https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mKcpg2agMkdCyA5Yl?invite=cr-MSw1aW4sMzM5NTY4Nzcx - Another clip of blatant aimbot on a completely different day, notice in all of the clips that the same person only shoots the gun once and its always a headshot. ------------ https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mJWUOY9QpnFAUEE43?invite=cr-MSxYTUosNDMzOTIyNjc5&v=18 https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mJWFpEXcRebYBD4bR?invite=cr-MSxDTzcsNDc2NzAzOTA0 In the first clip the white shirt, Fabian, is one of them, he LTAPPED around 5 times until we finally got him, as you can also see in both clips, the man in the leather jacket is involved both times (Same guy that hopped on his cop char) and the woman that the POV is in, is also involved in the very first posted clip, and the ones in the gun store. All 3 of them are involved in this aimbot/mass rulebreak. ------- What's being levied against me https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mJWuo8RV13ldllZZJ?invite=cr-MSwyMTksNjIwMTQ5ODY3 https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mJWFpEXcRebYBD4bR?invite=cr-MSxDTzcsNDc2NzAzOTA0 From a first watch from the clips without context you would just assume RDM, however with all of the previous evidence given, she was meta-gaming for the LTAPPER to let him know when we left the area so he can get back on the character and then later when we arrested her, she calls her friend to try and stop the arrest on his cop character, I am sure other people have clips of her involvement but she should also be banned for being apart of this group. Alas, I have changed my ways from Alting to trying to combat it, I got 2 Aimbotters sacked and I'm shooting for a third, I argue heavily that this ban is dog water, it was done by Velocity who has zero context for anything that has happened on those days and everybody can clearly see that my actions were justified.

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

Your Character or Steam Name: Anthony Provenzano Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:29062731 Your Discord ID#: 1229828190743036239 Reason for ban: RDM, PO 6 Length of ban: 5 days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): I was inside of the casino gambling and was on a terrible losing streak, when this guy starts playing other peoples hands (Hitting place hand before they can) and being a bit of a goof. After multiple times of him doing that and making a few people mad I finally turned around after he had placed a bet on where I was gambling and jokingly while laughing started shooting at him and killed him. Later on I learned that the person I killed did not even want me punished but due to my multiple POs I was banned. Why should you be unbanned? I do like to think I was jokingly killing him and that the person that made the ticket had a little NITRP (Standing on my head and reaching around me just to play my hand) But at the same time I do understand that I have many POs and I do apologize for my actions.

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?: * The Low Population of staff during early EU time is my main motivation for applying as i would love to help those needing staff support early morning. i see many people every day; often myself make tickets and wait hours to get support and i would love to help resolve this issue. i love the server its one of my main things i spend my free time doing so i would love to help better the server. i love helping out in Gamemaster events and would love to work up to the rank of GM to start making fun events for the community to enjoy for those who don't often get to participate in them. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I've played the server for Years so I've grown a clear understanding to the server rules and what is and is not allowed. My knowledge i have gained from playing the server from Both perspectives of Diverge can help me be unbiased in any crowd if its PD or crim. Due to these two reasons i think i would make a great staff member over others. I can be active alot due to the fact i don't have college that much during the week and i don't tend to sleep for long so i can be on for Late EST and Early GMT time to help cover those periods where there is a low number of staff members on duty. 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?: Yes i have been banned 4 times. Twice of which were metagame which i apologise for and promise not to break this rule in the future however one of these bans were appealed and accepted. one was for Revenge PK Attempt from Mid 2024 which i have not tried to do since that date. and i have been banned once for RDM which was completely my fault. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * yes i would say im well known, I would say my reputation Somewhat bad but also somewhat good. i think some see me as a corn ball or a small British child which i hope to prove wrong if given the opportunity to become staff. I know some people think I'm alright and unbiased due to my time in PD where i have always remained unbiased in any situation possible. so overall i think my Reputation in the community is Mixed and wish to better this in the future. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: The last Racket Event. or the 6/14 event for the map update during mid 2024. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Pendred | Greenghost | Alfe_ | Aui Animator | 21schmekles | Siips | Crocie ------------------------------------------------- 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 was rdmed while off-duty i would take a clip on medal before i do anything. i would then simply wait for that clip to process. once that has done if there are staff members online i would ask in staff chat to be brought into a sit as i was just rdmed and i would proceed from there. If there is no fellow staff member offline i would file a player report and move on with my day. 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 first gather proof of these actions before i accuse anyone of anything. Once i have gathered enough proof i would make a staff report on the member of staff for there abuse and wait for it to be resolved by a member of UA. 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?: To me it does not matter if you are in my faction or my friend there will be no bias what so ever. I would fulfil the ticket as usual and if my faction member /friend had committed any wrong doing i would give the appropriate punishment like i would in any other ticket. Just because a friend or a faction member of yours is staff doesn't make you except from following the Rules they are put in place for a reason. ---------------------------------------------------------

I think the server could greatly improve immersion by expanding the available roleplay animations. Instead of needing to create entirely new animations from scratch, it might be worth looking into pulling animation data from frameworks like Clockwork HL2RP or similar Source RP schemas that already have large animation libraries built out. A lot of these frameworks already support things like: Smoking animations. Wall leaning. Notebook writing. Radio use. Searching/patdowns. Injured idles. Sitting variations. Hand interactions. (handover/receive) Investigation poses. Since these already exist within the Source animation sets, it may just be a matter of integrating or porting the animation tables rather than creating entirely new ones. This could save development time while still expanding RP expression. Why this would help: Right now most interactions are just characters standing still during conversations. More available animations would allow players to show emotion, status, and intent through body language instead of only text. This would especially benefit: Mafia meetings. Police investigations. Business RP. Interrogations. Street interactions. This could allow Diverge to quickly expand RP immersion without major development overhead. The goal wouldn't be feature bloat, just giving players more tools to visually roleplay and make interactions feel more alive. Please give your thoughts on the matter below, your opinion is valued and appreciated. Thank you.

What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I am motivated to provide a better environment for the server. I know there are already many staff members who do this already, but another set of hands to help never hurts. I truly enjoy the nature of the role play on the server, and I want to help preserve it by being able to enforce the rules in a larger capacity. I am also motivated to help guide new players when they have questions, concerns, or issues with the server. I often feel as if newer players are overlooked, and I want to help change that. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I believe that I should be picked over other applicants because of my ability to stay calm, collected, and unbiased. I am equipped and mature enough to handle situations in a professional manner. I think that I can fairly staff the server and provide help and support to the playerbase. Do you have any previous staffing experience?: I staffed Icefuse SWRP for about a month as a moderator. ( Was awhile ago ) Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I am pretty well known in game. My character Jarvis Reginald is pretty recognizable to a lot of people. Also my other name Bernie Gernie.

A lot of other community members are pretty fond of me, and I have made a lot of friends in the community. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: So far, my favorite moment has been the racket war event. The PvP was a ton of fun, and I was really engaged working with my faction.

Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: Clip the incident, and report it to another staff member. If no staff members are available in game, I would make a forum report. 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?: Clip and save all of the evidence, make a staff report, and wait for UA to handle the situation. If the abuse was more severe, I would report it directly to a UA member through a ticket or DMs. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?: I would proceed completely unbiased and would make decisions based on the evidence provided. I would not let the accused player off without a warning / punishment just because they are my friend.

Opening PKs On Cops, witsec changes: Right now, as it stands, there’s no recourse for police. Oftentimes, from what I’ve seen, the DAs office is unable to prosecute officers for purposes of maintaining the peace. IA, is often unwilling, because they think it should be a legal issue, or they’re friends so they get a slap on the wrist. Or sometimes nothing happens at all. And then good cops, often are fired. It’s a crack in the system that we’ve seen for a while, and the voices of the community have gotten larger asking for something to be done. To have some kind of recourse as a criminal. As a criminal, all you can do is watch as detectives, or other officers, blow through your entire organization, and go really overly hard on your organization in order to get whatever victory they have in mind. There’s nothing to be done. Typically, even if you find the detective, they’re placed inside the PD which is unraidable, and the only people willing to risk their job are usually conflict locked from doing so. So, detectives don’t get killed. They don’t usually get fired. They never get prosecuted. Same goes for every bureau, really. But Detectives are the current complaint of the community. What I propose, is finally opening up the window to actually pking cops. We need to loosen the rules surrounding cops being killed, and with that enter into actual RP. Now, there obviously needs to be restrictions, because obviously we want cops to be able to do their jobs and target illegal activities. However, there should be a limit. For instance, an orchestrator sends a UC into your faction. The UC escapes, and gets locked in the PD. You know who is running the operation, it’s some higher ranking detective. You can’t get to the UC, as they’re locked up. Soon, they’ll disappear. Open the door to killing the orchestrator. Require the PD to do some really great maneuvering and have to witsec the orchestrator too. This will provide an ample cooldown, so when a faction gets hit, you’re not in a situation where multiple factions are getting hit at once, because the orchestrator has to disappear. Furthermore, open the window to raids on the PD to kill these people. Obviously, it’s almost impossible to find someone who would be able to let you in, because even if you get let in you’re gonna have to start killing cops and it is considered a raid. I’d say, if HC is being targeted in a faction, allow for MAIN CHARACTERS (verified active players as well), be able to raid the PD when the orchestrator/UC is online in order to pk them. This should be done with UA APPROVAL. Pre-screened individuals who are partaking in this. The risk will lie in this kind of operation. You can kill one operation against your organization, but you naturally open the door to retaliation from the remaining individuals in the Detectives/PD. believe that it’s imperative to outline exactly what would constitute approval of this kind of operation. I’ve designed them such: Expansion of an initial operation (i.e. attempted to gather even more evidence by sending another person in, trying to find ways to seize properties that aren’t directly involved in the crime, trying to harass them, having people constantly overwatching them, etc. Anything that continues to occur after a UC is pulled out, or a case is started. You better get your information all at once, lest you end up at risk as a detective.) Attempt to take all properties. If an organization only has one property, that is the lifeline of the organization. It’s imperative that they’re able to keep that. Lest they have to pay 10m+ to try and get it back, and that usually requires going to daddy faction for a loan, putting them in a predicament. If they have 2 properties, and one is being attempted to be seized, sure. If both, let the raid happen. Worth noting this does NOT include individual rented rooms. Let the detectives blow through those, as they’re just returned pretty quickly. Attempt to harass, further gather evidence blatantly. If your initial operation concludes, i.e. criminal charges are brought, and you go into double dip and it's discovered, or they realize when more charges are added against more people, let the raid happen. Don targeted, second targeted, or more than 2 members of HC. If the don gets charges, let the raid happen. Second in command, let the raid happen. If more than 2 members of general HC are targeted, let the raid happen, let them have their chance to kill them. The investigation intends to seize cash reserves. Specifically cash. If they want to touch the faction funds, that's life changing enough that they may want to take the risk. Let the raid happen. The investigation brings charges against more than 12 people. This is, for a lot of factions, VERY game changing. Some of y'all are struggling. If the investigation, like a warrant wildfire, hits 13 people, let the raid happen. Threats from the police. If someone comes to threaten you to comply and give someone up, let the threat giver be set active and pked. Raid optional. Now, with this in mind, it’s incredibly important to set ground rules for the responsibilities of the cops. If you’re the cop(s) in question, being targeted you must: Log on for 30 minutes a day, at any time of the day. If there’s more than one cop being greenlit for death, they must both be in city at the same exact time, for the same duration You must be inside the PD. Anywhere. You can have as much firepower as possible; but if schedules don't align, you’re going to have to hope you can skate by for that 30 minutes. You can log out at the 30 minute mark, UNLESS there is an active raid into the PD. You must check with staff to see if it is clear for you to leave. If there’s an active raid, you must wait. You may not miss more than one day in a row, WITH UA approval. You’ll be screened to make sure you’re not playing other games. You will be char locked to your PD char. You can’t play any other characters during this time. If you’re the assaulters in question, you will: Be given 1 week to successfully do this. If the case is successful against you, you will be given an infinite window to kill the people involved, unless they get witsec, to which you will have to prove they’re the same person ICly. You must identify the orchestrator. Either by confirmation from police officers who are willing to give you that information, or by figuring it out on your own in a way that UA deems reasonable, accurate and IC. You will be given an infinite amount of raid attempts during that week. But they’ll only be on for a 30 minute window, so you’ll have to wait around ready to suit up. After 1 week, your raid permission ends. You will all be pk active while attempting raids. If you are a ranking member, you will not be able to return into your original role. You will start as an associate. If you are the staff member, you will: Verify all characters Set all characters pk active to the NYPD Oversee all times that they’re online. If they want to be online at 3 am, someone has to be online at 3 am to oversee. Verify ability to leave for the officers (i.e. no raid going on) Verify all information is true, accurate, and IC that leads to PK activity on officer(s). Workarounds to consider: Chances are, if this goes into effect, the PD will try to hide these things. Via working with the DAs office. This should be extended to the DAs office - IF - the individuals who are looking for the orchestrator threaten the ADA/DA/whatever who’s running the case in court to give up the information, and they refuse to after 3 violent and clear threats. (One, if they refuse to log on ever again) (Also worth noting - they don't log on, so an in-game pager will suffice if the faction uses resources in the PD to get their ssns), then allow a pk on that ADA/DA/whatever. Let the prosecutors choose who’s getting witsec’d - the orchestrator or them. See next page for more Altered Cop Rules Make witsec have to take place IC and actually conclude. What do I mean by this? Well, right now the way witsec works is you log on, you’re already in a backroom in the PD, you get your name changed and your faction changed and you immediately log out. I say, make them stay online for 1 hour after a witsec, to allow for individuals to either A. kill them or B. identify them successfully. Furthermore, make them actually leave the PD, and get to a “Safehouse”, like the governors mansion. Then, if they’re bringing driven, their convoy can be intercepted, cops shot, individual identified or kidnapped. Then, they need to stay online for 1 hour after they arrive at the “Safehouse”. What would successful identification look like, in this situation? It would be that an individual(s) gain entry or intercept the convoy, and lay eyes on the guy. If this is achieved, the witsec’d individual cannot be witsec’d again at all. They have to remain that identity and risk death every day.

Add dip tins that can be bought from certain vendors so we can pack a lip. The dip can be spit and would create a unique opportunity to disrespect your adversaries. I think cigarettes and cigars are great but diversifying the means of tobacco ingestion couldn’t do any harm. Pack a lip or be a pussy.

SteamID: STEAM_0:1:434954440 Your Discord ID#: 1101937755568754728 Date of PK: 7/5/2026 Reason for PK: Stealing an item Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I picked off a helmet off the floor in Little Italy and I started running away because I thought it was cool. Two SOS ran towards me and chased me asking for it politely without putting me under fearrp. The two then shot at me. From my understanding, if someone is scamming then you need to fearrp someone to get said item back which is what the two did not do at all. The pair KOS'd me.

Fun RP heavy way to let people park their cars for longer WITHOUT destroying the server with lag :D TLDR: Parking meter system like the one NYC has IRL you get a pass, use it on your car, it takes more time to despawn I saw someone suggest to remove car despawn timers, but as someone who remembers when cars had to ocasionally be disabled entirely due to lag, I disagree with this, but's still annoying to have your car despawn every 2 minutes, especially if you're someone who likes to sit around and do stuff. But since I've been to NYC I thought of these old ticket systems (Model from GTA Vice City) basically the idea is these would be on the map, you'd go up to one and use money to buy a ticket, then use that on your car (like a vehicle repair kit) and it would take more time to despawn. Pros: Fixes the annoying parts of car despawning Adds a cool RP feature that isn't too obtrusive "Let me put some money on the meter" is something I've heard a lot in NYC If done properly shouldn't horribly increase server lag, but provide a great deal of convenience for players and give them something to spend money on Something new for NYC workers to fix? I don't think that matters too much Cons: Dev time, especially if you wanted to make it in a way that incentives keeping server lag down by making tickets more expensive when the playercount/car count is high or something like that, it's not too bad, i went on a journey looking for this model and for pictures of the actual tickets so at the very least that part is done. I tried to see if parking meters already existed on the map but it's protected by some program and made noises at me, so if they do this idea could just use them. You'd probably need to make a menu, just with the time you want to buy on the meter, with more money for more time. Potential to cause server lag by cars just sitting around, this could be offset easily, either disable meters when there's a lot of cars, or make them much more expensive. Disabling them sounds much easier, I should have thought of that from the beginning I could say so much more about this idea but the inside of my head is getting away from me a bit, i want to talk about dynamic pricing or the specific font on the tickets, or the specifics of how different times would be priced to discourage people from leaving cars around forever, or how they would be placed around the map but I am going to post the suggestion now and people will think about it and tell me what they think about it and that will be great. Real parking meter pass/ticket (it's confusing because the penalty for not having one is also called a ticket) this could be a MODEL/SPRITE :D :D :D :D :D

wait my dude did you say "im about to get mugged again" not in game were you per chance in a vc?

Name of Character: John Fitzgerald Character ID: 13991 SteamID: STEAM_0:0:179061818 Your Discord ID#: joeeey1 Date of PK: 15/02/26 Reason for PK: Dying During Raid (Racket War?) Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: So, rules clearly stated raiding during the event was allllllllll good, right? So, how come when I raid Altoviti, kill the targets, then I take a little cheeky M16 out of their lockers, I get PKd? To my understanding, raiding was all good. Right? No ticket was ever made in game, the issue was taken straight to either DMs with UA, or a UA ticket. Nowhere in the racket event rules did it state that taking items from properties was PK worthy. How does it make sense to enforce a rule that was never clearly stated? I was PKd on the basis of made up, on the spot rules. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines:

What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I feel as if though my PK was unjust, The clip I was provided in the admin sit you can see the muggers are 3rd person peeking to mug individuals, They did not give me enough time to react to the situation, They also didn’t seem to initiate the mugging properly, and I had my gun out by the time they approached me. I think given them 3rd person peeking, talking about the mugging rules during and also given the “dead wop” flyers after the ordeal just feels as if though the mugging was in poor faith.

Your Character or Steam Name: Kyle Smith Your SteamID: 76561198223298300 Your Discord ID#: 177956330550722560 (cheese_masta) Reason for ban: PD Raid Length of ban: 5 Days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): So i made a decision last night that was not the most intelligent, i took 2 guns out of an unlocked cabinet in the pd evidence room on my cadet char when i decided to quit the PD due to issues with management. I was under the assumption because it was an unlocked cabinet that it would be whoever left it unlocked that made a mistake presumably making it a warrant/IC issue for the char. I would not have done it if i realized it was a ban-able offense. Why should you be unbanned?: I've been on this server for over 2 years now if my memory is correct, and this is my first ban ever on Christmas day. I've done a good job of staying out of trouble to this point and feel my track record alone is a testament to my point. Which is i would not have done it had i known it was not an IC issue, I rarely have issues with anyone, i get along with pretty much everybody. For what its worth i am sorry for taking the stuff. I feel being Christmas, being my first ever ban in years of playing, i clearly like being here and wont cause more problems if unbanned. I think I deserve another chance. It is also holidays and i have a few days off of work and it would be nice to be able to play before I've got to go back. I've also seen people with actual records get far less time for doing far worse things repeatedly. Thank you for your time in reading this. Merry Christmas. -Cheese Man Additional Information (images, videos, etc): N/A

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 24/7

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.
