This new map change has opened my mind to new roleplay potential Allow us to pistol whip the doors off their hinges, smash the bar like a crate, rip out copper wiring - etc. @Mike Brown Please cosign

thanks JJ. we need to stick together against feral beasts like MrlogicNova

Also skill issue if you don't have Bearcat flags @Dong Hi, It's me - Shadow Commissioner Calink. Please Blacklist this man immediately.

I said 'atleast' for the Bearcat you loser A SWAT vehicle doing a raid should definitely have the capability to use a PA system to add roleplay, like with the hostage events that happened at 7/12 months back Asking for things to be added initially to everything it could possibly relate to isn't realistic and just makes the suggestion less feasible Especially because 90% of cops will just use it to shout slurs and minge day to day

+1 atleast for the Bearcat

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The ban will be reduced to 12 hours.

Hi Whilst it appears the other players involved in this interaction had similarly committed rule breaks, I do believe that there is a degree of responsibility for multiple of these events that lies on your NLR. As a cop, you can return to scene if specific circumstances are met, and you are called in as back up, etc. but your initial return to the ghetto is not necessary and does break the NLR rules. I also believe that running the other guy over and then executing him was a mistake and not how you should have handled the situation. It seems more like you held a grudge after your previous encounters. Regardless - In this instance I'm happy to reduce your ban to 12 hours, as it is your first offense and the other players involved clearly have some guilt in the matter. I also appreciate the detail put in to your ban appeal, and the opinion of the banning mod.

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The ban will be lifted from your account shortly. If it was deemed an invalid ban, it will also be removed from your record.

Hi In this case I do believe you did intentionally LTARP to avoid an inventory search. Your argument that arrest RP had ended would have been valid, but the officer began an interaction with you, attempted a search, and you disconnected in the same second - as proven by logs. Regardless, we will accept your appeal, on the basis that you will continue with the roleplay scenario that was happening upon your next log in.

+1 I love white-collar corp

So what I'm hearing is - excluding the simp votes, the rigged votes, and the OP bias - I am the most loved staff member on Diverge?

you need to get on the game to make tickets

Hi, I was a banning admin involved with this case: Here is a snippet of my response to Medinator's appeal, which is I suppose in a way the "primary" appeal: "The way that this reads to me is that the actions of your Altoviti character have directly benefited your SOS character. Which is textbook char abuse. Having reviewed both the item logs, as well as the chat logs for the times surrounding your interactions, it becomes clear to me that at the very least, there was an intention of providing the Mint Suit (and other items) from your Altoviti to Sauerkraut, and having him repay you on your SOS char, which happened to be with another Mint Suit." Essentially you have been banned for your role as a middleman for this semi-Item Transfer / Certain Char Abuse. You have some priors for similar rulebreaks, which landed you with a more equal ban, rather than a slightly more lenient one. Your character was *not* pk'ed - just to specify. It is my opinion that you allowed Medinator to provide you with items from his defunct char, in exchange for gifts to his new SOS char. Hence you were banned. Hopefully that clears things up a bit, good luck on the appeal!

Hi, I was also a banning admin on this case alongside Dutch. We were pushed this case by higher staff and chose to handle it together. The way that this reads to me is that the actions of your Altoviti character have directly benefited your SOS character. Which is textbook char abuse. Having reviewed both the item logs, as well as the chat logs for the times surrounding your interactions, it becomes clear to me that at the very least, there was an intention of providing the Mint Suit (and other items) from your Altoviti to Sauerkraut, and having him repay you on your SOS char, which happened to be with another Mint Suit - Something that is unsurprising considering you are known to be a huge fan of said suit, and as you claimed "I will always get my hands on a Mint Suit one way or another" You cannot use transactions, trades, or other forms of value from one char to benefit your others - Providing all of those items to Sauerkraut knowing your situation on your Altoviti char was precarious and then receiving a copy of the exact suit you like the most to your new character are evidently two situations that are linking the actions of Char 1 to the benefit of Char 2. Hopefully that clears things up a bit.

Another MB banger

Your flag appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The blacklist will be lifted from your account shortly.

Hi, Generally we try to stick to a 1 warning system for PET flag abuses. In this case, ignoring any potential debate as to your intentions - you abused your PET flags and caused multiple player deaths, and a large disruption to roleplay. It is my opinion that this doesn't constitute full removal, as you have not gotten any prior notes or bans on the server. Please bare in mind that this will still remain as your only warning, and further abuse will result in a blacklist from the flags. Please read our server rules to prevent any future misunderstanding!

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.

Hi, In this case the killing was unjustified. It seems to me that you allowed a crime to happen, so that you could execute a suspect. I understand the concept of a detective doing an 'eagle-eye' type investigation, but any kind of work like this should be explicitly to make arrests, not 'hospitalize'/kill players. You should always be attempting arrest, the player was not an active threat to you or others, and you witnessed the full context of his violence and would have known as much. You could have attempted arrest - I realise one defense would likely be 'I can't jump from a roof during roleplay and risk my life' to which I'd say - why weren't you working with officers on the ground to respond? Realistically, this scenario is you waiting in hiding for players to do anything that gives you the slightest reason to shoot your gun. This isn't something that works or is allowed on 1990's Mafia RP - more of a 1940's vibe, lol. It is the opinion of myself and other Seasoned staff that this was RDM, and with your extensive priors you certainly know better.

The transistion into the Mike Black era has truly begun

You seem to have missed the first 6 sections of the app

This is actually in the works already, @Boomroasted was cooking up something like this for some fun wider roleplay, I believe

Hi pk'ing admin As we have previously discussed, potential IC harassment from other cops prior to you being pulled over for running the stop sign doesn't allow you to kill a cop without consequence. In this situation, you shot and killed a police officer, during a non-felony arrest and started a violent confrontation with police. You were subsequently killed. As I'm sure a lot of cops will attest to, I usually am pretty tight with allowing cop PK's - in this case, I think my judgement was correct. You rightly mention that cops should attempt arrest when possible. In this case, you somewhat randomly kill a police officer, before driving off at top speed, from an officer who has no back up or support, or real way to correctly identify you further outside of "bolo on a black car" the speed at which you leave even causes you to end up in a high speed collision (granted that is also the fault of that F1 car, but still) - It is my opinion that there was not an avenue to arrest available to the officer at this time, nor was there any guarantee that you were no longer posing a threat to cops or civilians, and the violence toward a cop wasn't minor, like a punch or a melee - you straight up killed/hospitalized a cop. If you had put your gun away and de-escalated the situation first, even if you still ran after, I would say no to a PK - but you didn't, you go straight from active threat to running. I do agree with a previous sentiment that claiming this was not a valid PK, essentially creates a loophole to 90% of VCWP "I had turned around and started running, so I could not have been a threat any longer" - "I was in a vehicle, so I could not have been a threat any longer" - There is a degree to which this is always going to be case by case, but when you compare the severity of the violence, with the lack of options for Peralta other than to essentially let you get away with it, this was his only move. TL;DR In my opinion the criteria that would make this kill invalid here would have been to de-escalate from violence first, no longer be an active threat to the point that if in another world you hadn't ran and Peralta had killed you, staff would have disallowed the PK, and then from there you could attempt to escape - at which point Peralta would have potentially had more back up, time to process and avenues to utilize to make an arrest. That's my take, anyway Good luck on your appeal.

Theres something to be said about instrument items like the piano but atleast semi portable Probably attached to a flag though...lol

Assuming this is related to props being cleared as its an issue that effects many cars Keep an eye in the bottom left for 'Props will be cleared in 60 seconds' and see if that replicates the issue
