Quick suggestion got the idea off the credit card thing when those factions were competing to change their drug racket. Currently criminals have 2 ways to generate income by conventional racket means: Gun selling and Drugs. My suggestion is to implement a 3rd racket addition such as: forged checks, counterfeit credit cards, embezzled union bonds, etc. This would work similarly to drugs except no processing and not as much profit, similar to how oil works. You would place the order for the shipment at a pay phone rather than your typical criminal racket npc. Once you collect the shipment you gotta trade or sell it via rumour to have the other person sell it to an npc on the map (could use existing drug npcs.) Why add another criminal way of making money? 1. Way more mafia 2. More crimes for police to go after rather than guns, violence, or drugs. 3. More grinding shipments for the don

In-Game Name(s): Nicolo D'Amiano, Davis "The Law" Justice, Tony "The Turtle" Terrata, davis mason. Steam Name: Daviss Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/danger19921992/ Steam ID: 76561198084761155 or STEAM_1:1:62247713 Discord Username: davis3 Age: 20 When did you first join the server: A little over a year ago Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 2 Months 2 Days Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 20 Hours a week 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 Answer Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 5 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I have been playing mafia RP constantly for over a year now and understand the rules well enough to enforce them. I have been staff before and understand the commitment that goes into being staff. I am on at extremely late hours when the server is understaffed. I wish to enforce roleplay and maintain the standards set by the rules in my time in diverge networks. I understand being staff is not a privilege, but a responsibility placed on you. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I have years of experience staffing on garrys mod roleplay servers. I am straight forward with my decision making if I am unsure, I won't act on a whim instead ill reach out for clarity. I have 2 months' time in game and only two notes during that whole playtime. I am on during hours which most other staff cannot be on times like 3-4 AM est. Finally, I can provide a fair staffing experience to all players regardless of in character beef. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Community Manager Imperium Gaming AVA 9 Months, Community Manager of Imperium Gaming SWRP 6 months, global gaminglight staff (Military RP, School RP, Slave RP). 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?: Yes, I'd consider myself to be very well known, I was the last mayor before the removal and current Caporegime for the Gambino Crime family. On the civil side I'm a very unserious individual as legal rp was never truly my thing. On the criminal side, im fairly well known within in the commission. I have hosted events on the server such as the great new york race, cookouts, bar hopping, etc. I am also very active in Diverge general chat. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: When I was mayor I would sit in my office and talk to random citizens throughout the day. It was my favorite part of the job by far, speaking to random faction members and insane white shirts was some of the funniest roleplay I have ever experienced. On one occasion I was kidnapped, and the police had to come save me. On another occasion, we had a man pretend to be in the KGB and attempt to blackmail me to push communist legislation. Finally, hearing what people generally had to say about the city pushed me to hold office and speak for them. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Greenghost ------------------------------------------------- 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?: Make an admin ticket and have a staff member not involved in the situation handle the ticket. If none are available, I would go on duty and try to sort out 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 substantive clips and send it to 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?: I firstly, would not take the ticket due to my bias being in place. If no other staff member is available I would review the ticket using just the information provided to me in the sit.

A knight in shining armor stands before us in the ban appeals. How can we as a community sit idly by as THE 007 gets banned from our humble server. This man's roleplay capabilities know no bounds as I have seen firsthand the benefits this man brings to the community. Long Live 007.

+1 rushed together with this guy he was in my pc definitely put a lot of work in during pledging would be a great staff member

@Z O O M E Rthere was a financial transaction between the two where Luca gave the guy 8k and he never delivered the product

it’s not a faction faction it’s a whitelist like a job it just makes it possible to be an independent criminal. These issues your bringing up now already occur ingame. This suggestion is meant to even the playing field giving people who already rp as criminals the ability to and the ability for factions to deal with those criminals for interfering with their business. I know it’s scary getting mugged and your so terrified of civs getting access to it but what’s to stop someone from working security for 30 minutes getting hired then doing the same thing.

“you would be taxed out the ass by either group of factions.” - that’s how life is as an independent criminal ”new factions need to be under something either commission or Olympus” - that aged like milk at room temperature and also not true “taxi and delivery driver are not a good way to make money” - independent criminals don’t have their own drug racket so your income is still cut to just processing ”if we start giving Citizens a way to get into rumour the amount of mugging abuse that would happen would be out of this world” Mugging chars are against server rules and that sounds like a cope IC issue just don’t get mugged lol ”Targeting as well would be very easy.” meta game problem also difficult to go target groups when any don can get PK orders on you

Yeah and it makes it easier for those who want to be an independent criminal but it brings along the risks that come with it. Also new players won’t be directed to find that job you could make the hiring NPC at barge or something. Just brings in a new opportunity to RP as an independent along with the risks that come with not having an organization backing you would bring.

other than the fact your untouchable to criminal factions unless you actively work with the police to take the family down.

“Most criminality” said it yourself not all criminals fall under a mafia or gang. “further justify and encourage people to not join factions” - These people already exist in the server and giving them the protections as if they were a civilian provides them the opportunity to fuck with businesses with little to no consequences “balances you suggested are iffy at best” - currently there isn’t a balance with dealing with civilians the only way you can PK them as criminals is if you mug them or you find IC proof they are snitching to the government with the intent of harming your business (not just calling 911) My issue is there is no balance currently in place. Comments currently act like i’m creating a minge faction when in reality these minge groups already exist with the protections currently in place with the citizen job. This suggestion aims to change that. sorry for yapping - mayor davis

First line, exact point of the whitelist rather than a regular civ. Second line, what better way to promote civilian criminal activity than having a job dedicated to crime. A big part of mafia roleplaying is dealing with small time criminals that operate within your city. If anything, it adds a whole new element of mafia roleplay.

yeah, but this still happens regardless of there being an independent crim whitelist and without any consequences to their character unless they have shootouts with police. This addition would make it to where if those criminals attack a real mafia organization they can face bigger consequences.

With the new update I propose to change the system currently in place with Citizens and those that want to play a criminal character without aligning to a existing faction. I propose for there to be an NPC at barge or wherever the black market is to get transferred to a criminal whitelist like New York Taxis except with access to rumour. Here are some changes to the rules I could see with this addition. 1. Citizens can no longer mug no matter what 2. Those in the criminal whitelist can have Dons orders from any family on them from a faction provided they initiate a conflict with that faction (since they have no protection they are subject a higher chance of dying) 3. Groups of people in the criminal whitelist can group up and form gangs Why should being an independent criminal whitelist exist on a mafia RP server? 1. It already exists you can see gangs of bloods and crips and other citizen gangs that already live a non law abiding life why not formalize the current state of RP 2. Creates opportunities for factions to form naturally and exist in a sort of limbo state before becoming official. 3. Creates more of a divide between the lawless and law abiding citizens in the city. Allows those who do not want to conform to a faction to still roleplay as a criminal and engage in the drug trade.

not if I whisper into my radio

+1 My faction has a therapy racket that works with your company. I can fully see this work out if the leadership doesn’t lose interest.

+1 Need some Irish RP on the server and you would probably last longer than the cult irish catholics

+1 Irish catholics would be fun to RP with especially with all the Italian catholics on the server

-1 I don’t see this faction lasting longer than 3 months
