I agree somewhat, but I think y'all should be more clear on what you want. A cul de sac of houses would be dope... or ya know... le grange? >_>

Faction was added before you even played the server. Ran for two years, in that time we owned 3 store fronts (pre map change), the club and the motel. Lil bro has no idea what he's talking about lmaoo

Get back to grinding bricks for the Don You go to work in the dark and you go home in the fucking dark

I mean, there's nothing stopping you from having conflict RP with another faction other than your own limitations. You have some drama with another factions? send some dudes down to their business and cause trouble. Drive by and shoot at the building / windows, making escalations get more heated to initiate sit downs etc. Nobody is stopping you from doing this, other than y'all being wimps.

-1 Lackluster application that doesn't really make sense. IMO you had the chance to do something quite unique and kind of flopped it. PRO - I see what you're trying to do, and I'll give props where it's due. - Decent enough RP ideas. Not sure if they'll pan out the way you're expecting though - Decent enough play time. CON - Togna Bologna is a dumb name and I can't take it seriously. - Your backstory is an absolute mess. What are you, a charitable organisation, a cult, a criminal enterprise... your backstory does not explain this at all. There are parts of it that dont make sense, you even spelled your characters name wrong at one point. You also mention 'the home' 11 times and 'the hand' 7 times - The cult idea is entirely lost. A cult isn't a brotherhood of individuals trying to make a city better, it's a fanatical group which usually has an eccentric leader who controls the people below him, you are not describing this in your backstory. - If you're a cult I want to know outright what your rank is, Supreme Leader, Grand Master? this should be absolutely pivotal to your backstory, and how your character rose to that rank and or gave himself the rank. - I hate this idea of 'we're going to clean up the city by locking up buildings and making sure places are protected, people will consider you a nuisance. - You call yourself the 'Hand of Paimon' but make no link to what 'Paimon' is? IMO (take these suggestions with a pinch of salt.) - You should really play into the cult idea and really go full hog with it, become fanatics who believe some mad shit, like you (the faction leader) are an actual descendent of God, and the people in your factions are disciples. - Whilst I said I hate the 'clean up the city' stuff, I do understand why you included it... IMO you should flip that too and instead of cleaning up the city, be the ones that are causing the damage. 'The Lucchese's are none-believers... we will show them no mercy'. There is no fear in the city anymore, a full blown heel faction of cultists could change that

+1 (this was a -1 until I saw the backstory link at the end lmao) Good application IMO, I really hope you guys utilize boats and include the sea/docks as part of your 'turf', that would be incredibly interesting. PRO - Diverse - Great play time - Big push on better RP - Some good ideas, and you're actively taking a stand against standing around security RP, which is a massive + for me. - Enjoyed the backstory and the real RP images complemented it. CON - Choosing your racket as cocaine, whilst that may be correct in the actual Galician Mob - it's not a guarantee in DV.

You also cannot handle criticism without going on the defence.

Then your application with forever be mediocre, at best. It's not a 'custom', you need to make your application stand out and be original and you've basically said you're not going to do anything unique so GL.

So standing around RP? Disagree entirely. This is not enough time to understand what it requires to not only be high command, but being able to run a faction. As someone who comments on pretty much every faction post, is a long time member of the community and has run a successful faction in the past - this is worrying that you believe my points aren't valid.

-1 All in all, I think this would run a lot better as a civilian faction rather than randomly adding a crime aspect to it. PRO - Diverse ethnicity CON - Backstory leaves a lot to be desired. Lots of 'this happened' but not enough 'why' - Low playtime. - RP ideas are stale. Don't really see anything new in terms of RP ideas. When it boils down to it, you plan on running a shop. - Your whole faction idea doesn't make sense to me. You're 'low-violence'? to me that just reads like you're going to get bullied by everyone because you won't retaliate. IMO, you may be better creating this faction as a civilian faction and becoming Indian oil barons. - It would be great to see someone successfully run 'IOU's / Loans' but in my experience it doesn't really work. What do you have in place to stop people creating new characters, rocking up and asking for 20k and then them blowing it and getting PK'd by police? - I can honestly see this very quickly becoming a minge faction where people join to use an awful indian accent.

As someone who ran pretty much the only successful British faction for a number of years, i'll give you my input. +1 - I think the app is pretty decent, and I wish you guys all the best. PRO - Diverse, it's great to see someone else attempt a British faction. - Play time seems alright. - I liked the backstory to a degree, although it does have some issues. CON - The breaks in the backstory are frustrating and some of them don't really add anything to the story. IMO you'd benefit from bigger time gaps, to add more text to your paragraphs. - I don't think you give enough examples of how you intend to be different from other factions. The VIP club thing is actually something we used to do weirdly lol. I'd like to hear more about your proposed business ideas, if you're steering clear of violence for a more business approach, how? you mention you want to steer clear away from standing around RP but by owning a club, you're going to end up with standing around RP. Considerations - Take it from me, you should decide early on if you're going to try and get people to talk in an english accent, or just the main guys etc. In TDS, I benefited greatly from the high command being actually British (for the most part) because trying to do this down the lines flops extremely hard. - You mentioned a gentlemen's club, don't put poles in it for the love of God - learn from my mistake lmfao. - Fuck Billy Kimber, here's what happened to the last Kimber. https://streamable.com/fu3qcz

There's a bit of misconception about why Diamond died tbh. We did have an activity warning but was given some time to turn things around. I needed a break from running things, so I left someone else in charge. The plan was for me to come back after I'd had a break and carry on. The guy I left in charge was doing a decent enough job at coasting the activity, nothing amazing but it wasn't too bad. I never got the passion back, and my temp replacement didn't want to don anymore. So I made the decision to dissolve diamond. It was sad that we couldn't continue, but diamond being removed from diverge was entirely my decision.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt here as you have apologised and accepted what you did wasn't good. There are other alternatives which are RP relevant that you could've taken. 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.
