Andy is a good dude who has grown with and cares about the community. He'd make a good staff

In-Game Name(s): Gianmarco "Hugh" Santora (Genovese Capo) | Officer Ezekiel Roosevelt (NYPD) | Dean Gulberry Jr. (GOAT) Steam Name: frogass Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199465830317/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:752782294 Discord Username: frogass Age: 23 When did you first join the server: March 23, 2026 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 1mo 1d 8h Time Zone: US-EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 5-6 hours a week realistically 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): Yep Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: Nope but I'll learn quickly Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes ------------------------------------------------- Long Answer Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 3 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: *I've spent a lot of time on this server and believe I would be a good help for people making tickets when there's not much staff on. I like diverge and want to learn more about how it works while helping the community out. I was told that I would make a good staff and figured I would put in an application and see where it goes. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: *I should be considered because I'm very active and have pretty good relations with everyone I meet. Like I said before, on my main char I constantly deal with no staff being on and I think I would be a good fit for those times. Also, I never cause any problems on the server. I've never been banned and I think the worst I ever did was get an NLR note for trying to apologize to someone. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Nope. 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 wouldn't say I'm well known city-wide but a lot of people know me on my Geno char and nobody has any problems or issues with me. A lot of people know me on Dean Gulberry Jr. or his father (RIP) and even the cops like me on them. I'm just here to have a good time at the end of the day. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: A lot to choose from honestly. My first day was chaotic and I remember that fondly. The day I was made with my brothers and the day I became Capo are up there. Dean Gulberry lockpicking and processing drugs in the mansion is also an honorable mention. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Boosted, DopeAsRoe ------------------------------------------------- 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'm busy, I'd clip it (if possible) and get someone on duty to take care of it. If no one can handle it then I would swap over to staff char depending on how busy I am with RP. If I'm too busy I'd let staff know about the guy. 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?: Let them know I clocked that shit and ask them if they realize they're abusing their power. If it's a simple mistake and they didn't realize I'd probably just keep an eye on them to make sure it doesn't keep happening. If it keeps happening or if they realized they were abusing and still did it then I'd have to bring it to someone higher than both of us. 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?: It is a conflict of interest to take that ticket and I would try to get someone else to take it. Even if I think I would act unbiased, I am the only one who can prove that, and other people may not see it from that perspective. ---------------------------------------------------------

First of all, the characters weren't mugging chars. Did we mug on these chars? Yes. But we were genuinely making connections and making money running meth on supreme team. They were good side characters. If the character has to be main then I was misinformed by long time players on this server and that's my fault. I was told our characters had to have value to mug. "In your POV clip, all 3 of you approach at different angles, 1 is already on the scene and the other 2 (you and the old man) approach after with guns on safety. There's no communication between you guys, one guy initiates and you two just join in from across the street which already looks very suspicious in my eyes. In the 3rd clip there's a 4th guy that is just on the scene for some reason who appears to be on lookout? Not sure what he's looking for but okay. In the 5th clip there's a 5th guy who jumps down from the train tracks but there's still no radio communication. Then the 4th guy follows the 5th guy into the sewers after the shootout. 5 people involved in 1 mugging with each person appearing from a different area." How we set the mug up, we were stalking this dude because we had IC problems with him. Anything to do with the mug, we were deafened in discord. We knew what to do. We had people waiting on every side of him and were waiting for him to move. I wish I would've clipped it longer but didn't know I would need it. He was sitting on the railing for a while and that's when we made the plan to surround him. There were two dudes on lookout for precautions, one was on the tracks and the other was behind the dude who shot us. There was no communication to them OOC, they knew what was going down. We made the plan IC that whichever direction the guy starts walking, that's who will initiate the mug. The guy on the tracks and the other guy made their own choices to be there. I didn't even know he was on the tracks until after the fact. All we planned was to surround him and when he moves we're mugging. So when he started walking towards the guy, me and the other dude popped out to join because that was what we planned to do. I was waiting on the street across from townhouse 3. The guy who initiated mug was waiting by hula stash. The victim was sitting on the railing in front of the vendor across from rockefeller. Everyone had eyes on him, so when he moved we knew it was go time. Also, you can hear my boy un-deafen at the end of his death clip. "In the first RDM clip (the guy was punished for the multiple counts of RDM) you say "I just got killed" and then start speaking in game right afterwards. Then in the second RDM clip you're all talking in Discord and the guy in the clip mentions "yo I'm with the guy who just killed us" which was trimmed from the clip. I downloaded the full clip you sent @shy. Then some other person in your call says that they just got RDMed and someone else starts talking right after." I had already said that we un-deafened after we died from the fail mug because we didn't expect the RP to keep going. Everyone on this server is in a discord call, if that's considered meta then might as well ban VCs in Faction discords. We may have asked where at and saying that stuff but that shouldn't be considered meta if we're not doing anything with that information right? Like we're not using discord as a radio channel for IC stuff, we are just talking about the bullshit rdm that happened to us after the original scenario. We made sure to not act on any communication in the discord. We were trying very hard not to meta. But, when something unexpected like a mass rdm happens while we're un-deafened, it's hard to remember to deafen right away, especially when there's no RP involved. You can't use that clip as proof of meta during the mug or any RP scenario, especially when there's proof of being deafened during the actual RP. "The whole mugging situation seems very strange to me that 5 different people all appeared from multiple different places, no radio voice communication and no text chat over the radio? A lot of things aren't adding up. " Like I said before, we saw him chilling on the railing in front of the vendor across from Rockefeller. Outside the gun store is when we planned the mug to surround the dude and whoever's direction he goes in is who initiates the mug. So we surrounded him and everyone had eyes him to see when to go. I didn't even know where the other two guys were when it was go time. I legit had no clue one of them was on the tracks until I saw the clips. We've been trying to get this dude for a while. We were pretty well coordinated and I can't believe it got called meta gaming because of us talking in discord after our deaths. Mind you nothing happened or came from what we talked about when we got mass rdm'd. All we did was make a ticket and grouped back up. If it was just a mugging character, why would we care about a PK? Wouldn't we be happy we didn't get banned? These characters were not throwaways, and the dude who killed us in the mug can't 3rd party with no affiliation to the victim. Clip of Terry Smith being un-deafened in staff sit meta-gaming with no repercussions: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mRvNnHbfmkp0mcc_p?invite=cr-MSw2blcsNjUyMDA3NTUy&v=79 Meanwhile we got pk'd for being undeafed after a mass rdm

Name of Character: Joe King Character ID: Not sure how to view it he was PK'd SteamID: 76561199465830317 Your Discord ID#: frogass Date of PK: 6/6/26 Reason for PK: Staff believes we were metagaming during a mugging Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: Me and Alotta "Nitrodubz" Fachina were Pk'd on the grounds that we meta-gamed during a mug. However, we have clips from multiple perspectives showing us only talking in game and clearly deafened in discord. There was 5 people involved in the mugging on our side. All of us were deafened. The clip from the mug starting shows that there's no OOC communication between any of us, even the people who were watching from other angles. The reason staff believes it was meta is because one of the victim's friends RDM'd us after the mug, and in the clip of the rdm, you can hear us in discord talking. This is true, because we had all recently died, we were no longer RPing, we were talking to each other about what happened and reviewing the clips of what just went down with the mug. I don't believe that should be considered meta, because it was all completely after the fact of RP. One of my homies was tabbed out and standing still at the atm. If just talking in the discord OOC with no RP implications is considered meta, then all VCs in faction servers should be considered meta. Also, the guy who interfered in the mug did not know the victim being mugged. I believe there is a rule that this is considered vigilantism and is not allowed. They must have the victim's F3 or be in the same faction at least to interfere. Here's a clip of the guy saying he didn't know any of those guys, and he is not in the same faction: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mRl8udiHYTXhQiby0?invite=cr-MSxndW4sNjYyMTEyNTM The guy who RDM'd us was banned for a week for metagaming, but the victim of the mug, Terry Smith, was not banned even tho the staff that was helping us, Shyy, said he heard them in the call together thru Terry's mic. It was obvious metagame, but only one side was banned? Terry Smith walked away with nothing but he was metagaming as much as his buddy. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: Clip of mug, my perspective: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18cxHScQO7chyvfbuKWxn5JyaQNLje3Ab/view?usp=sharing clip of mug, perspective 2 (you can hear him un-deafen after death): https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mRksZ0ds6KPeN7fj4?invite=cr-MSxvWm8sNjUyMDA3NTUy Perspective 3 (idk why this codec makes the video black for me, regardless the audio is what's important. I can forward the clip on discord if needed): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sUm3XMgr42iZkgScfApYW6obwLGEJ_ni/view?usp=sharing Perspective 4 (I understand now this was a fail mug because of restraints and time to kill, all im arguing is it wasn't meta): https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mRkv5WBwCW3pwt7vX?invite=cr-MSw1MGwsNjYyMTEyNTM Perspective 5: https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/17383767135989466122/146AAFCC2BBBB4BBF801BEF1081A59A4B5D333FF/ Clip of RDM after the mug: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mRkIU2O89lt6FKT_h?invite=cr-MSx0NXQsNjYyMTEyNTM Clip of RDM 2 (what was deemed metagaming): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OkUwWpsm_xMGtbZEVmiR0MAXprhhB7GZ/view?usp=sharing Note that in this clip this is completely after the fact and after roleplay, which is why we're undeafened. Just like any Faction VC in faction discords, we did nothing with the information we shared. All we did was make a ticket after the fact, nothing shared in this VC was used to give any advantage IC.
