(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): Business and Future Goals for the LLC Although we started off as a humble food truck operation, handing out food and drinks to the city workers or anyone for that matter (and will still continue using a food truck to bring in roleplay), we will develop a LLC for security which will be a private security organization that brings a one of a kind mechanic to diverge. We will specialize in helping businesses transport their product in large amounts, assist in protecting high-profile men, and even help with the legal issues of people who get caught up in the law where the lines between legal and illegal activities often blur. Novgorod Attire New interns that have not fully been initiated into the Bratva will wear often wear more casual street clothing such as tracksuits, hoodies, or any sort of casual wear. This reflects their position within the Bratva as outsiders who are still fairly new and are proving their loyalty and worthiness for the next step in the hierarchy. Although they are not on the same level authority as the Made Men of the family, associates are very important to building up our family as a whole by managing lower level tasks, managing day to day business, and executing orders from higher-ups, to reach that point where they can be made. Mid-High Command of the Bratva are the core and heart of the organization and fully earned the trust and respect of the boss. As a symbol of their authority and status within our faction, our higher command will wear more formal attire such as: suits, rings (custom rings), and dress clothes. The importance of the formal attire is these members will be responsible for making smart decisions when it comes to high-stake meetings, legitimate business dealings, and upholding the faction's interest within the criminal underworld. Family Outings and Deals The Novgorod Bratva values our own family and strength above all else, we will make it a priority to maintain our cultural roots through regular family outings/gatherings. Whether it is a traditional Russian feast, a day out enjoying the city of New York, or a more private gathering at one of our properties, these outings help strengthen our bond with one another and reinforce the loyalty that keeps us united as one. Our main language is Russian if you couldn't tell, we will ensure our ties to our heritage remain strong and that the language of our ancestors is preserved. In these meetings we will host often, it can range from enjoying delicious meals to sharing stories of the old country and singing classic Russian songs, to even making important decisions where alliances are formed and business is conducted. A big source of income within the Bratva would be through crew deals with other allies - a large scale trade agreement in product for a profit on both ends. These trades would be handled with the utmost discretion (following back to the security organization), and we do understand the high risk involved in moving large amounts of illicit goods. Our reputation for honor within deals and our ability to control big amounts of product makes us an invaluable partner for anybody to make a profit. Every single dollar made is an opportunity to strengthen alliances and keep our plates full while being able to maintain the respect and loyalty with those who do business with us. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): As previously mentioned above, our members will participate in large-scale meetings with other factions, this could involve intense roleplay moments where members have to use their awareness skills, or even deal with betrayals and sabotage. Why does this work you may ask? It involves a numerous amount of people, gets everyone involved in decision making and keeps tension high which creates a nice buzz within the community. However, not all people are into that whole criminal underworld business. This is why we will host feasts or celebrations for the Bratva which will be Russian themed, these events will be used for lighthearted roleplay and strengthen the family-oriented nature of our faction which offers a break from the usual high tension activities and lets people develop their characters overall. Novgorod Bratva will host initiation ceremonies for new recruits or potential Made Men, marking their full faith to the Bratva with a symbolic ceremony. This involves making them take an oath, participate in a test of loyalty, or a task that makes them prove their faith to the Bratva (Bones, Fingers, Skulls, Etc...)

Your Character or Steam Name: Gent Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): 76561198316133872 Your Discord ID#: 453304483011887126 Reason for ban: rdm Length of ban: 3 days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): dispute Why should you be unbanned? Weird ban, a guy called 911 on me for me aiming a gun at him, cop responds but is blind to me aiming a gun, starts arresting people for public masking falsely, I get in the car, he says he's gonna arrest me, I shoot him. I mean, it's like an obvious felony if he searches me cause the guy who called 911 was saying gun specifics, and for him to search me, etc. also illegal to have concealed class 3 / any class 3 on the person. The only reason why I shot him is because of the guy tryna snitch on me.

Name of Character: Lorenzo "Ferrari" Colavita SteamID:76561199151898617 Your Discord ID#: joisty23 Date of PK:04/2/25 Reason for PK: The reason i was given by staff was "spying/ leaking information" Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I believe the reasoning was heavily meta-gamed and absolutlety out of context, i cannot see a point in the game in which they had clear in-character proof of either of those accusations. I had not been feeding any information to anyone outside of the faction that could be considering a PK-able offence. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines:

battery is a misdemeanor, but its aggravated if its on a cop, if its aggravated it becomes a felony, i withdrew the message tho

you're full of yourself lmfao, you literally know nothing. if you actually played the server or knew the community, you'd also know i dont play the server, the faction i run is fully automated other than once every 2 weeks i need to get on to pay taxes (oh, btw since you're new, theres taxes for factions dipshit) get a bigger grasp on what is what and then come back and re-think your dogshit ideas. you're nobody trying to act like you're a big hotshot who knows every little aspect of the server, but literally in your own words, you don't know what detectives or operatives do , you have multiple lives for a reason, go join the pd and put a stop to crime like you said. (mafia crime based server by the way) oh also just to shit on you more, i do touch grass, im in college you really think i spend my days sitting on gmod grinding bricks for the don? ayt u do u pimp but don't hate on me

You have 4 days of playtime, why would you think you have the whole grasp of the servers rules and RP? Wars are hard to get into because it’s basically HvH the whole time, and you commented on the detectives not doing stuff when they literally go undercover in factions all the time.

yea you're right people shouldnt be pked for mugging & breaking family rules

I cant be bothered to reply to all your yap so ill just do this one. Criminals and crime families are not the same. When your just a criminal you bring no risk to anyone else and you commit crimes while only considering the money your going to gain. Crime families are organisations that thrive on not being raped by the police. Crime families commit ORGANIZED CRIME, where it is approved by the heads of the family and is with a direct intent of bettering the family. Also new associates or recruits don't know who works where so the rule of not mugging or fucking with other people is to prevent them from mugging or causing trouble with another faction/family. (Also there is server rules in place that prevent you from being PK'd from a faction for any minor arrests etc)

Brand new to the server? Sure, congrats genius, you can read my join date. Bad faction app? Sure but your opinion doesn't matter. "Crazy weird and disliked suggestions"—by who exactly? You and your circlejerk buddies that shit on just about anything here. "hey guys look at this tool (insert thread link here)" "Stupidest questions"—Imagine thinking it's a stupid question to ask about the server location when ping is high. Yeah, genius, I know it's Garry's Mod and it's old, but guess what? Location, routing, hosting providers, outdated addons, poorly optimized maps, engines and scripts all matter too—not just your brilliant analysis of 'cars make lag.' If that's your expert answer, maybe sit this one out. If anyone needs to take a step back from the game, it's you, Mr. "Honorary." You've clearly spent too much time here. Go touch grass.

brand new to the server, makes a really bad faction application, makes some crazy weird and disliked suggestions, then asks some of the stupidest questions and all the sudden you're the all knowing eye or some shit? like bro take a step back from the game lmfao

This view is slightly dumb. I could make something that would be serious about the issues of this server as someone who’s played it since it first came out to almost 5 years since the release. server is practically night and day.. and a lot of it comes down to the people, and not the actual developers and UA.

I'm fine don't worry. It's a really good server but it can be even better without too much effort that's all.

You bring up some genuinely good points However Seek psychiatric help and get off this server for your own good. It isn't worth it

Seems like I struck a nerve with you. Probably because you're one of the geeks I was calling out. Maybe if you spent less time gatekeeping and more time reading what I actually wrote you'd realize half your rant was just repeating my points. And don't worry about where I came from or my past communities—I mentioned them to give context, not to flex on little keyboard warriors like yourself. Honestly, judging by your triggered response, I'd say you take this hobby way too seriously. Try stepping outside for once. You think I'm delusional? Sure, bud. Meanwhile, you're sitting here writing butthurt paragraphs trying to protect the server from any criticism. Your e-stroking will likely get you staff here so keep at it. Cute TLDR, but you completely missed my point. My issue isn't just "wah cops should raid at any gunshot," it's about actually giving cops and detectives something meaningful to do instead of clowning around chasing traffic violations. But hey, reading comprehension is tough—I get it. LOL

Crazy coming from you jmz

Ok now im just catching strays here... RPing as a Russian is hard to pull off as I feel the expectations that people have for the particular RP sets a high bar for no reason. For instance, doing an accent that's far more popular in America (The New York/Italian accent) is far easier than a Russian one. Due to the decline in Russian RP and Eastern European RP over time, obviously it makes it harder to create the aforementioned RP with no guidelines or to act as a predecessor for a previous faction. I think as a whole eastern European RP will increase in quality over time as more factions choose to create eastern European factions and as my factions solidifies in the long run and focus more on RP. This is one of the reasons i created the faction to influence the growth of RP and number of factions in this particular area. And P.S. to the app creators, Security company didn't go that well for us i'd try something else.

I’m pretty sure if you punch a cop then just shoot him when he tries to arrest you is just baiting lmao Trespassing, and conceal carrying a class 3 and brandishing, aren’t those just misdemeanours?

-1 Your method of making money (or RP racket) never works. There have been multiple people ive known that try to make money of a security company but thats what factions use their new hires for. Another thing is what Jaecob said, its kinda a Kirov Bratva reskin.

-1 nothing against the leader, you seem more than qualified for the position... but this just seems like a kirov reskin. also, russian larp translates to being pretty mid in the server, especially if it isn't done correctly. wish y'all the best of luck though

You clearly haven't seen the rumors about Maggy Finch single-handedly infiltrating the Bonannos and becoming a capo, using a voice changer and even undergoing a sex change approved by Hamir. Since you're new here, you might not fully understand how things work. Roleplay on this server takes time, things don’t happen overnight. Instead of jumping to conclusions, why not play for a week and get a better grasp of how the system operates before ranting about it?

alrighty, how do you suggest these issues are rectified? This is quite clearly a rant, and perhaps understandable from a newbies perspective - but rants would go into general discussion considering nothing much is being suggested here: HOW to stop whatever madness? HOW to make diverge better?

We do a Fortnite event where we go back in time to 1980

a lot of these “points” ur making come from the view of a low level associate. PLENTY of political stuff/outer-faction issues goes on behind the scenes.

Lord please accept ts

you are genuinely delusional

Frequent abuse of PET flags, genuine retard, but could be a good addition to the staff team +/-

Hi there, After checking your clip i spotted that you do not have the f3 of this citizen who is getting arrested. You do not know this man icly. You clearly have the intent to break this fella out / by disturbing the rp by trying to steal the cops car. The cop realises this and chases you. Whilst yes you're getting a felony charge. You involved yourself in a scenario you weren't even supposed to be in. This is clearer than glass that this is cop bait also that you basically baited him into this makes this killbait / rdm. You want to kill him on the fact that you were going to be a felon. Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.

I mean my whole point of it is that they basically went off one person saying hey this guys a rat. Realstically they dont have any proof cause that guy was simply there. The clip cant be used as proof cause its not cctv nor did he have a camera out. I personally hadnt been giving information out i just wanted the dude that i was talking to off my ass. It seems like they're just using hearsay

Now I know I'll get sh*t on by certain geeks that think they're some big shot behind the screen because they enjoy mocking newbs but after 4 days of playtime in this server I have some issues. Keep in mind I have over 2k game time in GMOD and most of it was spent in HellsGamers PERP back in the day and a bunch of other RPs. I'm not comparing this to that but merely stating the facts for the kids in here. If you don't like it -rep the sh*t out of me. Couldn't care less about your e-penis power. My first concern - Why is everything so f*cking theatrical and zero-risk? The crybaby japs stand outside their gunstore and bait cops/civs just to get a reason to start shooting/blowing up cars. When you do something against them they instantly @ staff like a bunch of #metoo wussies. The Italians do nothing but eat lobster. Every single faction just wants a reason to out their own interns/associates. Oooooh you got arrested? HERE COMES THE PK TICKET for bringing heat. Oooooooh you're a criminal in a crime family and like to mug or f*ck with other criminals? You're causing too much trouble, time to go! No faction wants to start a war with the other so they let their own get r*ped before they do something or they pay up to avoid it. Because again, zero-risk wussies. I get the realism of it but if your best guy is getting chased by a rival gang because he left them a week ago you best believe there is a war happening if they touch him in any f*cking real life scenario unless they wanna do a sit down and solve it in a different way. No raids happening either, yeah obvious reasons. Cops? Sadly clowns with a badge running around chasing people driving recklessly and running red lights. Getting harassed constantly and rage-baited by civs and factions like the jap babies that like to blow up cars after endlessly provoking them. There is literally no FearRP when it comes to cops, if you're stopping someone and he has loads of sh*t his friend just pulls up behind you and shoots you in the head no big deal, I guess that should be punishable by staff. People can grow hella shit in their apartments and faction properties without any worries of any raid happening. I don't even understand what the detectives/operatives do. They should be out there putting down crime families for good, running surveillance, collecting evidence, and they should have all the power to do it heck even if they have to pay crazy sums to informants, install civ scouts, wiretapping certain areas (yeah sometimes criminals are stupid and say the wrong things outside their faction property). Oh and I guess every single faction higher up has his own detective character so why would they even bother with all of this? Honestly if you're a higher up in a faction you shouldn't be allowed to have a cop character. PERIOD. The conflict of interest is there no matter what you tell me. Heck if one bullet is fired outside of a faction property, no matter what their intent or right is, that should be grounds for a full-on police raid. Maybe there should be a Crime Family/Gang/NARC Task Force with more investigative power, including the ability to be fully disguised as a civilian and not visible anywhere as a cop, able to join and maintain your character as a civilian in a crime family, gather intel and climb the ranks etc etc. Undercover work should be much better IMO, if you know someone has an affiliation with another gang you want to be able to follow that person and gather as much about him as possible, routines, entrys and exits. Who is he speaking to and why? End of rant, also no TLDR.
