Bro why do all this useless shit just shoot a nigga

Name of Character: Joey "Doughy" Smith SteamID: STEAM_0:1:63855153 Your Discord ID#: Medinator Date of PK: 5/29 Reason for PK: Don Orders Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: When i was hired i was never taken through any process or spoken about of any crime i was hired and let off to do my thing i was only in for a few days and my character never participated in any crime in general nor in ties with the family in any form or way and has 0 knowledge of any crime of the faction i got hired into If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: N/A

This is a valid PK. You shot at police and died. Obviously the guy would be confused to have killed the same person twice, so the "Again" isn't a problem. It's nit picking.

Name of Character: Keshmer Israel SteamID: Steam ID: 76561199435611250 Your Discord ID#: Jacko John Date of PK: 5/31/25 Reason for PK: "killed by cop" Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: So, what happened was I was shot down by a cop who I had a conflict with. I was having fun with a group of my friends and said officer chose to come over randomly and begin to attempt an arrest. I fought back and got shot down and I want to apologize. It was in the moment and if my character gets granted back, I promise not to resist an arrest rp again. It wasn't the right move and it's on me.

TURN IT BACK OH GOD Nah but like why does a BREATHALYZER cost money? And ammo? Cmon.

Your Character or Steam Name: RayC23 Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:710270797 Your Discord ID#: 965737745131642961 Reason for ban: I was ban for a extensive POs. At the time I was just showing poor rp which lead up to my ban. Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? I believe I should be unban because what I was ban for was a first offense. Now obviously what I did I should not have and lots of it is just common sense (if you don't to this then you wont get ban). I am going to start off by saying what lead up to the ban and then why I should be unban. First off, when I was ban I was ban for Item transferring (there is a script to prevent it). Me and a long time friend and ooc family member wanted to test out the new PK script. He texted me one day and asked if I wanted to PK one of my old characters, i said why not because I was not going to use it anymore, and why not have a good rp with it. So what we did was I mugged one of their chars in the crew so then they would have a reason and they could get a good clip for an edit or YouTube video (not really sure what it was for either YouTube or something else all I know is it was being clipped for something). So then once everything happened and the guy I mugged got set free, I went to drop the stuff I took out of the guys pockets and dropped it, once they were going with staff to get me PK active I went on another char and grabbed it. Not sure what I was thinking, I never Item transferred on this server nor even had the idea of item transferring/supported the idea, but for some reason on this day I clearly was not using any commonsense, especially because all the stories of the Permanent Bans and stuff due to people item transferring. I do want to mention that I did not actually item transfer but I did attempt it. During this time I was definitely bored and getting tired of many of the players and I just let out, and was being and idiot. If im correct I was also ban for meta-game which I do not recall doing but If they put it on the reasoning then it must of happened. Now onto the reason why I think I should be unbanned, I think I should be unbanned because while yes I do have some extensive POs, they are not for what I was ban for. I am also thinking about a new thing that I have not seen in the server which is the ZTP/1SP. The Zero Tolerance Policy and/or the 1Strike Policy is when staff and the person that the policy is being set for would agree the date that it ends and during the time the player has to revive and show the staff that being unbanned was not a bad decision and that they are worthy of what they did. I think this will allow staff to see if whom they unabnned is worthy of role-playing and being in the community. This ZTP/1SP is definitly something that staff should take into consideration and use on future bans, this will allow players opportunity to prove themselves to staff and for staff to not waste their time unbanning people, while on a ZTP/1SP players will be pressured to try their best and have good rp as well as not break any rules, and if any rules are broken then staff can instantly ban them. Usually the punishment is a permanent-ban thats not appealable if anything goes against the 1SP/ZTP. I think that this is a good idea and staff should start using it. If I get unbanned I will like to try out this ZTP/1SP and prove to staff that I should be allowed in the community. I completely understand what I did wrong and I hope that staff can read this and take my 1 Strike Policy into idea. I do fully acknowledge what I did wrong and I do believe that this was a big mistake that should not have happened. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): None, definitely look into the ZTP/1SP for the community, I think you guys will advance as a community if you implement it. If staff want to have a VC cal to talk about my ban I can elaborate step by step what happened.

Pretty simple idea that fits the vibe of the gun bag. It'd just be cool to be able to store a couple of ammo boxes in the bag with your gun.

nice format usage bro

Free him

Hello, I’m the one that wrote the orders on you. You did show your face within the 2 week timer under the name Kevin Flynn. The orders were written due to your blatant disregard for instructions when we told you you were not allowed to leave the faction, just so you know seeing you on the f3 list out of the faction is enough to kill you alone but there was also heavy suspicion of you snitching to get out of jail time in the past so nothing was in your favor. Make better decisions and you won’t get killed.

really

https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/kaXuMCcQYUBwLkoty?invite=cr-MSx1SWwsMzU0NzY4NzA3

Hello, you were PKd due to leaving the kirov bratva's whitelist which is ground for a PK. The two week rule you are quoting is in regards to the time limit the faction has to wrote orders on you. If they write orders within two weeks of you leaving they may kill you past two weeks of you leaving. Which is what had occurred in this scenario.

I think this should be added, especially after seeing gun bags, and how they work.

I wasn’t going commenting on this however, I feel it’s important to talk about some of your claims that you made. #1 You have not been around my faction to fully know the ins and outs of it, So for you to say you feared for your life is a really interesting claim. Also, cannons PK was completely in the guidelines of the rules, and if he didn’t think so he should have appealed it then so bringing it up now means nothing and does not help your case whatsoever. You said you planned to stay in both and it was mentioned to me that you would which is why I didn’t kill you or anyone else. You claim that you did a lot of this stuff because of cannon and his PK. This does not give you the excuse to break rules and help others break rules just to benefit you and your friends in creating a faction. I have said this on cannon’s appeal as well there are a plenty of better ways to handle the situation and you guys did the complete opposite of that. It’s very sad that it’s excuse this and excuse that instead of an apology. It just shows that there is no accountability in this group and it shows that you all had every intention of doing what you did. I’m glad cannon has apologized so for you to sit here and try and make my faction out to be the bad guy is baffling. I will say you did not do as much as some other, but you still participated heavily with as much motivation as them. It’s also not a secret that you used your position in “mccarthy” putting that in quotes because it’s not a real faction to metagame and try to gather information on the Callaghan’s. So, I end this off with the same way I ended cannon’s. You knew what you were doing even admitted it and you are upset you get caught doing it. I think the time needed to reflect on your mistakes is the perfect amount of time listed on your ban seeing as you were fairly malicious in your actions.

There were a lot of ways you could have handled this situation; in my eyes, you handled it in the worst way possible. Time after time, you made bad decisions after bad decisions with the complete knowledge of what you were doing. I dont know why you are using the excuse of lost items between multiple characters, even in your apology, you are lying. There are countless examples of people who created factions without #1 leaching off a current faction and #2 breaking half the rule book to accomplish it. At the end of the day, this is a game, and I have nothing against you, but if you played by the rules like everyone else, you would be able to create a faction and you wouldn't be banned right now. There is not a single doubt in my mind that you regret what you did, just the fact that you got caught. Staff have everything they needed to make the decision, and I think 4lights did a perfect job on all accounts. It was clear from day 1 that you intended to circumvent the rules and the RP surrounding my faction to make yourself and your faction have an upper hand. Unfortunately, everyone you convinced to go with you has been PKed and banned because of what YOU wanted. I offered advice and guidance, and instead, you tried to maliciously hurt my faction. Again, I say you could have handled this situation a lot better; instead, you did the opposite and did what caused you to be banned and PKed. I don't think you should have a reduction of a ban, nor should any of your characters that are involved be unPKed. You need to learn true leadership and how to follow rules, not try and cheat the system so it benefits you. I hope you learned from this situation and maybe when you come back, you will use this as a learning experience.

After talking to a lot of people about this situation, I've realized that I was being pretty reckless during that night in the city. I came back to the server a few days ago after a 3 year break, and a lot has changed. I've been really enjoying my time on Diverge so far and this is the only bad experience I have been in since I returned. I don't want to lose my original Character, it's been a long time coming just to go out in such an unrealistic way. I'd also like to apologize to @adam, I portrayed you as a bad person throughout my appeal, and that wasn't okay. I won't ignore the way you handled the situation, but I should have been the bigger man and kept my opinion of you and the opinion others have about you, out of things. I really hope Donato gets a second chance, and I hope you guys can understand how it feels being in this dilemma.

SteamID:SteamID: Steam ID: 76561199435611250 Your Discord ID#: kaden0738 Date of PK: 5/31/25 Reason for PK: Idk some dude just rolled up in a car and started shooting and i was instantly pked an admin said it was because i mugged somebody which i didnt i got mugged by someone else Why should you be unPK'd?

Missions A set of civilian and criminal missions that (Separate NPCs): Civilian Missions: Designed for new players, these missions introduce key locations (Clothing Store, Hardware Store, Oil NPC, Ghetto, ect.) with low-stake tasks that help with map navigation and basic mechanics and minimal rewards. Criminal Missions: High Risk, repeatable missions with cooldowns, offering cash, clothing items, or cheap weapons. These can be an alternative source for making money instead of drug production, but earn less money. Cooldowns: All missions could have a 24 hour cooldown, or longer depending on the mission type and rewards. These missions can take inspiration from early 2000s games such as GTA: Vice City and Simpsons: Hit n Run - simple missions that can increase immersion and give players new experiences within the server and give more methods of making money outside of drug production and selling (just not as much), along with being able to obtain cheap weapons. Some Basic Criminal Mission Ideas (Mission NPC located at they alley in Chinatown or behind apartments next to Nightclub): 1. Car Heist Talking to the NPC will direct you to a specific location on the map where a sports car has spawned (randomised between multiple set locations), once you get into the car you will have to drive it to a checkpoint before a timer ends, with the checkpoint being indicated as a "chop shop". Failing the mission (not delivering it to the checkpoint in time) will enable the cooldown on the mission and no rewards will be received. Completing the mission will reward players with $5000 cash. 2. Gun Run Talking to an NPC will direct you to a delivery van (a truckload of illegal firearms that need to be delivered to several locations). The cops get wind of the shipment, triggering a chase. The police will receive a notification matching the vans description and will be advised to chase and ram the vehicle. If the van makes it to all the locations/checkpoints before the timer runs out the person will be rewarded with $1,000 + a pistol with a removed serial number (weapon that fell out of the crate during the pursuit) and a cooldown on the mission will be added. If the van does not make it to all locations/checkpoints before the timer runs out the person will receive no reward and a cooldown on the mission will be added. 3. Steal the Package Talking to an NPC will direct you to the parking lot in tunnels, a handful of armed NPCs will spawn and you will be directed to kill the NPCs and take the package they're protecting and deliver it to another location. Dying to the NPCs will trigger a cooldown on the mission and you will receive no rewards. Killing the NPCs and successfully delivering the package to the location will reward the players with $2,500.

Addition to mugging rule 9 - Holding someone at gunpoint or cornering them while wearing a mask which obscures your identity may also be a valid indication to the victim that you intend to mug them Addition/edit to Identification rules -If someone has committed an offense against you (Act of violence, mugging, etc) you may recognize them based on their voice, character descriptions and clothing for up to 30 minutes afterwards (Without having their F3). Players may change clothes or lay low during this time to avoid recognition. Players may also use a mask to obscure their name and description but if they fail to change clothes they can still be recognized for up to 30 minutes.

Think of it this way, the more the shit costs the more it promotes actually doing police work and selling drugs and other contraband you find on people rather than just running around hunting for pks or doing nothing as a cop.

+10 bro u r genuisss

lol

Police pay for their own gear and or supplement their gear and get paid bonuses and have payback/trade out programs etc in different precincts across the country. No, not all the gear is just issued to officers for free. Crazy, I know. At least they don’t pay for their vehicles and get gas cards/uniforms.

Your Character or Steam Name: Scott Flanagan Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:101341510 Your Discord ID#: __sean__. Reason for ban: ARDM Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned?: I Believe i should be unbanned as i wish to return and contribute to the community, I've been considering getting back into Gmod for a long time now and would like to get a second chance with Diverge. Although I was immature and impulsive those years ago when I was banned, my actions at the time were a product of those factors, my ban was a result of a series of poor decisions taken without thought that negatively affected the experience of those around me, having grown up a good few years, I think it would be more than fair that I am granted a second chance to return to the community and begin to contribute like i once did. I look forward to hearing any and all responses, and am open to discussion or questioning regarding my appeal, Thank you. Additional Information (images, videos, etc):

You were such a loser and always had claimed I had bias towards you and your faction. You weren't a child back then so whats different now?

I am not them i cant speak on their thought process beyond the orders given, which i deemed valid.

Hello, orders were given to have you greenlit as you were a liability to the faction (bringing unwanted attention), trying to leave without permission, saying the faction name out loud, and stealing from the guy who gave the orders.

buddy its $15 why are you tweaking

If you're broke just say that

-1 Have to agree with Adam here plus 13 notes and 12 bans in one month is intense

He cant help it if his two brothers were trying to play Diverge. Justice for the triplets.

Your Character or Steam Name: Adamo Machiavelli Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): 76561198277991496 Your Discord ID#: CobraKaiChampion#7550 Reason for ban: Character Abuse/ Metagame/ Used Alts to Reinsert himself into an rp scenario Length of ban: 3 days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): 4lights said that 1) I was being attacked by my friend on my main with a knife. But I wasn't being attacked or anything. The guy ran around with a knife and was arrested for having it out. about 5 minutes earlier I had hit him with my hammer. But he was chasing another friend. My main character wasnt detained for this, and I had no interactions with the police 2) then I went on my alt character to punch the cop that was arresting him. the rules say- In the same vein there are still times when you can't shoot police and it would be considered RDM. You may not KOS Police for no reason. They must be specifically targeting you or a faction member for arrest/takedown. You may not kill Officers for simply pulling you over or writing you a traffic citation. You may not kill Officers for giving you a lawful order. (Leave the area, put that away, Identify yourself, etc) You may attack Officers if they attempt to Arrest/Detain you or a member of your group, knowing that an arrest or detainment would lead to a FELONY charge (Having illegal guns/drugs/etc.) You are PK active after shooting/killing an officer. -What is considered an attempt to arrest / detain you: Attempting to handcuff you Verbally telling you, you are being detained / arrested ("You are being detained", "You are under arrest") Firing their tazer at you Pointing their gun at you and ordering you to surrender/stop moving/get down/turn around. (Fear RP basically) (Telling you to LEAVE is not an arrest/detainment) Asking you for ID / Licenses is NOT a detainment / arrest; nor is simply questioning you, giving you a lawful order or threatening to arrest you. ("Leave or you will be arrested") (etc.) A Group member is defined as the following: They are a member of your faction They are rolling with you. (You MUST have their F3) ---- my alt character is security for the restaurant we were at, and I have the f3 of the guy who the cop arrested. Given that they were attempting to give this guy felony charges, and im security or a "Hang around" at the restaurant and I have the f3 of the guy, I think this is justified to intervene. Given there was a crowd around the cop of employees, and my character is a "hired gun/security" I felt it was justified. 3) I went on my cop character afterwards and stood outside the cell while he was inside the cell. I didnt enter the cell, and when two detectives took over the case from the arresting officer, I asked why they took over the investigation for them. Then asked the original arresting officer why they were outside the cell. I never entered the cell and since the cells are deafened on the inside I heard nothing. The arresting cop didnt like this and decided to report me and asked me why I was hanging arround. the rules here on Metagame-- Do not speak of in game matters in OOC Do not use OOC terms in IC Discord is generally considered OOC unless it is owned by Diverge Networks, and has the channel clearly stated as IC. I.E: [IC], [In Character] All Discord Voice Channels are considered OOC. Any 3rd party Voice / VOIP program is considered OOC while in the server. In order for you to communicate with other players you must use in game chat or voice functions, we added radios for this exact reason. Coordinating anything IC in a third party voice program is metagaming and will lead to a ban and/or a void of an RP situation. You may use Discord to request a lawyer or use discord to organize meetings or flag ups by naming a date, time and location. Attempting to use OOC chats to communicate things which should be clearly labeled IC is not permitted, you can receive a punishment for this OR the OOC communication can be considered IC by upper staff and is therefore admissible to continue an existing roleplay situation. You cannot call for help while being mugged/held under fearrp in discord or any other 3rd party service as you would not realistically be able to contact others while under fearp/tied. You cannot use an OOC reason to PK someone. Leave beef on the server, this is a video game. You cannot use OOC things / terms as a means to get out of an RP situation. Anything on mic is IC. Use /looc or /ooc when you need to speak of ooc matters ingame. Anything said in game (not in /ooc or /looc) is IC and must be treated as such. You cannot use/pass IC information of one character with another one of your characters, that is meta. Criminal factions are known about and often high ranking members of these organizations are very recognizable, the name and structure of these organizations is often known about through local rumours and news reports. They are an open secret and knowing the name of a faction or who the leader is is not necessarily metagame. Admin sits are not considered IC and any information obtained and used in RP can be considered META. It is considered Meta for Police to attempt to arrest people for talking to blackmarket/illegal NPCs. Police do not "have knowledge" the NPC buys drugs and it's not a reason to detain or arrest users approaching it. (Camping the NPC). Ways to Identify someone IC'ly: -You have their F3 -They Identify themselves to you, verbally giving you their full name / unique nickname -Someone who has their F3 Identifies them to you -You have viewed their ID card or searched their person (See Police rules section) -If someone has committed an offense against you (Act of violence, mugging, etc) you may recognize them based on their voice, character descriptions and clothing for up to 30 minutes afterwards (Without having their F3). Players may change clothes or lay low during this time to avoid recognition. Looking over the rules of Metagame, there is nothing in here that says I cant switch characters. Especially since my cop never interfered or baited anyone or attempted to let the guy out of the cell. Rule 11 states I am not allowed to pass or use information of one character with another one of my characters and that is meta. But My alternate being security, that was directly outside the front entrance of the restaurant I work for, arresting someone who I have their f3, and the arrest is STILL HAPPENING and there is a crowd in front of the arresting officer, does not have me use alternate character information for the arrest. It was still an event in progress. As for my cop character, I never got involved and merely stood outside the cell. I asked the arresting officers why other officers took over. I never accused them of anything or accused them of anything since my cop character was not present. Why should you be unbanned? - I realize its only three days, and its not a huge deal.. But the rules are a tad grey on Rule 11 and my situation. At the very least I feel it could be elaborated on or given more clear definitions on what is not allowed. I don't cause issues or minge or rdm or anything. And at the end of the day, a cop got punched and I stood by a cell on my cop character, but didnt get involved since I never even heard what was being said inside the cell. At the very least, I would like to request a warning and to just move on. If not, Well its only three days so no sweat off my back. Additional Information (images, videos, etc):

Note: It has already has been stated that an off duty function is added to the to do list, just wanted to add my two cents on a way to implement it that could be nice (might already be what was in mind). I really like the updates that have been done with the Police Computer and would like to have more options to remove some of the need of Discord, specifically with removing/replacing #clock-in-out. In the concepts attached, I have included: 1. An option to clock in and clock out from the police computer. 2. An option to display the recent history of clock in and clock outs (Date and time of each clock in and clock out, similar to the ATMs). The history tab can serve a purpose in proving activity to the Bureau of Internal Affairs if they suspect activity related infractions. In addition to "Clock Out" disabling the pay for officers, there could be another feature implemented that removes the "Cop Badge" as a wearable item from the Evidence NPC and instead when someone in PD clocks in through the computer, the Cop Badge will automatically be attached to their character - This way if someone has clocked in and is wearing plain clothes, it will be easier for staff to be made aware of people abusing the pay system, and for officers that want to spend time off duty there won't be any suspicion of them attempting to farm pay. Another benefit to this change with the Cop Badge would be the removal of needing "Off Duty" or "On Duty" in the description of officers, as the badge will indicate that instead. Edit: In regards to Supervisors and IA - There could also be an additional tab created for them to be able to check the clock in and clock out history of other officers in some sort of 'Employee Search'. Or alternatively, a new tab that is created that automatically displays all officers and how many days they haven't been clocked in for - with the least active people being at the top of the list, making it easier for Supervisors and IA to spot B-4 and A-2 Infractions.

Just buy lobster

+1 would be so cool if there was something to walk up to similar to the PD computers
