bigger maps mean more dispersed population, which makes the server feel empty or gives less chance to factions who aren't in the "main hangout areas" i understand you said you're new, but basically this server has been on southside for quite a while, then a couple months ago Pendred figured out how to edit the map, and since then has been improving it like crazy from the workshop version.

clown vs mime war is this way, we try our best to only use melee or fist fights, brawls are more fun that way rather than one guy with an automatic gun just spraying down a crowd

approach 1, legal rp. stricter gun laws, nothing can be open carried (back, or in hands), make current concealed weapons show on the waistline or something. approach 2, stupid, but add heavier escalation rules, current it goes as follows, ur mad at me, i punch you, you hit me with your gun, i shoot you dead bam. could make it something like fists can only be retaliated with the bud of your gun (and nerf the damage a fuck ton) or melee weapons not my idea though and i came up with this out of my liquid asshole juice

damm im not reading allat BUT with that much text i +1, not a bad person just around bad people! and im not staff anymore so i cant ban u

u lyin

You wrote my name, but I didn't blacklist your flags, as per usual you were cop baiting for hours on end, you finally get caught by the cops then you push my cop car, exploding it, yours gets unflipped and you get away once again, just to rinse and repeat cop bait. It's not been remotely long enough for you to get your flags back in my opinion, not to mention you still have 17 bans and 21 notes. (No bans since December, notes I can't check), but still. Keep up the good work and you'll get there. PET Blacklist Blacklisted by: STEAM_0:1:45640448 Reason: prop abuse

since its a perma, i can comment, you have a victim complex. own up to what you did, admit what you did wrong, and apologize properly rather than "im the victim once again"

i agree, but i think they should be targeted natural disasters. hmmm maybe a giant child support tsunami or we could do like idk, earthquake of stock market crash 9.5 magnitude

you're full of yourself lmfao, you literally know nothing. if you actually played the server or knew the community, you'd also know i dont play the server, the faction i run is fully automated other than once every 2 weeks i need to get on to pay taxes (oh, btw since you're new, theres taxes for factions dipshit) get a bigger grasp on what is what and then come back and re-think your dogshit ideas. you're nobody trying to act like you're a big hotshot who knows every little aspect of the server, but literally in your own words, you don't know what detectives or operatives do , you have multiple lives for a reason, go join the pd and put a stop to crime like you said. (mafia crime based server by the way) oh also just to shit on you more, i do touch grass, im in college you really think i spend my days sitting on gmod grinding bricks for the don? ayt u do u pimp but don't hate on me

brand new to the server, makes a really bad faction application, makes some crazy weird and disliked suggestions, then asks some of the stupidest questions and all the sudden you're the all knowing eye or some shit? like bro take a step back from the game lmfao

offer document rp for a cut in taxes, im sure people will outsource tax-men to deal with all of it

just "following the rules and doing rp" isn't roleplaying. making your whole character about mugging is not roleplaying, its mugging to make money (your words not mine). Join a faction, work a business, talk to some people, trade items, etc... But revolving your whole "roleplay" around taking precious items from other people? thats not roleplay, you're just playing to either 1. ruin others experiences or 2. get a fast and speedy grind up for some cash. as for the friend not being banned, considering you have 15 bans, i would also preferably ban you over your friend.... this is a mafia roleplay server, not a PVP 100k or Die FiveM server.

no.... garry's mod is very old and even with the best code ever, the server will already be under a massive amount of stress. (from a developer) yes code can be GOOD, but remotely having a server that's interesting needs to take a performance hit once in a while. or you can have zero features with zero lag.... (also im pretty sure diverge runs one of the best possible purchasable VPS machines lol) garrysmod servers are also limited to a certain amount of CPU Cores, once again, its an old game. at most servers can be hyper threaded if i remember but at that point its time to look at the server code and not the hardware

its not always about server location, it could also be server performance. for example if theres a lot of cars out, it'll cause more ping lag naturally, because cars are heavy to run on a server.

didnt read, but personally i just kill em anyways, kinda like giving crack to a monkey adrenaline, high risk no reward

When recruiting people, you might have someone train for you because you're a lazy sack of shit. Sometimes these trainings might not be done properly, yadada, and thats purely the fault of who told you to train right? But what happens in the case of people who don't get invited to the faction discord for example. Crucial step right there, because now you have an un-tracked faction member that can do whatever the fuck they want. Im yapping, heres my proposal. A faction "lock-down" option to whitelisting. Factions may choose to enable or disable this, basically it will not allow anyone to be whitelisted to your faction (staff cannot whitelist TO faction) UNLESS you have C menu recruitment permissions. This will stop the leak of random low level associates/interns from being able to just go "@ whitelist this guy" and causing problems, under the faction whitelist. Maybe I'm just a horrible faction leader idk, but I've caught a bunch of people just blatantly racket abusing recently in my faction (Brown and Sons Co.), yet I cannot do anything about it, other than just unwhitelist them and get staff to note/ban/punish etc.

low playtime for the server and extremely short backstory. i highly recommend looking at the other faction's accepted applications to figure out your footing on some "read between the lines" expectations. oh also.... for a faction i think its common sense to not AI generate it 100%

hours of cooldowns for individual cooldowns per car per player lol if car1 owned by player1 gets scraped then they cannot scrap car2 owned by player1 (obv a cooldown between different players cars too) but they can scrap car1 by player2 an achievable xp thing gotta be added other than strength please

Not the banning admin, or anyone of importance, but heres my opinion and some numbers. You had set up for a shoot out to occur, it is clear as day in the first clip, otherwise, why would all those people be specifically on that one roof that had a perfect view of the business you were intentionally harassing. I don't know who anyone is on this server, nor do I even know who you are as a character name level. Since joining in september 2022, to march 2025, you've had 0.37 bans per month. (Sounds like a good number right? kind of...) Since your first ban in November 2023, to march 2025, you've had 0.69 bans per month. (Almost doubling, the time between first join and first ban) You have 22 notes and 11 bans (excluding the most recent permaban) with 54.45 DAYS banned and only 38 days, 3 hours playtime. From your "total time experienced" (bans + playtime), you have spent 58.84% of your time banned. Banned time to playtime ratio is at a high x1.43. With your notes and bans being considered now, you were punished nearly 2.06 times per month for every month since your first ban. That is very slightly more than once every 2 weeks you either got a ban or a note, since sept 2023.... that is sad. TLDR: Extensive notes and bans will always lead to a permanent ban, now if its actually permanent, that's for others to decide, there is no bias here, if I was still staff I would've done the exact same thing regardless of who you are, or who you think you are to be able to continue to break the rules without any actual punishment. You need a break from the server to realize what you actually want to do on here, other than break rules consistently.

did you have a twitch

because they all act like idiots on em when they spawn 50, bikes have invisible 4 wheels so theres a thousand times more collisions. again, because this is the only part people will read bikes lag the server because the people driving them are idiots and spawn 50 of them. (same exact thing would happen with cars)
