-1 playtime Good idea tho.

Something that my group of people are working on is bringing very unique uniforms, pins, and vehicles to influence more detailed RP as Russians. We want to make it seem like there is a new type of work to be influenced and also going along the lines of strengthening the Russian RP with accents or even types of RP. We are right now working on expanding our knowledge to give that Russian feel to the server and making a more unique faction then most ever see. Like the Italians and Irish, we are going to strongly influence people to play the part when roleplaying to make the experience fun and joyful for others while still sticking with our same goals. While most of you guys don't enjoy the Eastern Europe RP, it will just be set to standard for people who don't like it will have a less chance of even getting hired.

Name of Faction: Novgorod Bratva Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 17 and more to come Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Russian Name of Character running the faction: Bogdan Volkov Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): Skyzerbefr Your SteamID: STEAM_0:0:634961667 Your Server playtime: 2mo 1w 18h 30m Do you acknowledge and agree to all faction rules as detailed on the server rules page? (Yes/No): Yes Do you acknowledge that your faction discord will be owned by us? (Yes/No): Yes Provide an example of the unique Roleplay your faction will bring to the server/what type of roleplay we can expect from your faction (Images/Videos Preferred): Business and Future Goals for the LLC Although we started off as a humble food truck operation, handing out food and drinks to the city workers or anyone for that matter (and will still continue using a food truck to bring in roleplay), we will develop a LLC for security which will be a private security organization that brings a one of a kind mechanic to diverge. We will specialize in helping businesses transport their product in large amounts, assist in protecting high-profile men, and even help with the legal issues of people who get caught up in the law where the lines between legal and illegal activities often blur. Novgorod Attire New interns that have not fully been initiated into the Bratva will wear often wear more casual street clothing such as tracksuits, hoodies, or any sort of casual wear. This reflects their position within the Bratva as outsiders who are still fairly new and are proving their loyalty and worthiness for the next step in the hierarchy. Although they are not on the same level authority as the Made Men of the family, associates are very important to building up our family as a whole by managing lower level tasks, managing day to day business, and executing orders from higher-ups, to reach that point where they can be made. Mid-High Command of the Bratva are the core and heart of the organization and fully earned the trust and respect of the boss. As a symbol of their authority and status within our faction, our higher command will wear more formal attire such as: suits, rings (custom rings), and dress clothes. The importance of the formal attire is these members will be responsible for making smart decisions when it comes to high-stake meetings, legitimate business dealings, and upholding the faction's interest within the criminal underworld. Family Outings and Deals The Novgorod Bratva values our own family and strength above all else, we will make it a priority to maintain our cultural roots through regular family outings/gatherings. Whether it is a traditional Russian feast, a day out enjoying the city of New York, or a more private gathering at one of our properties, these outings help strengthen our bond with one another and reinforce the loyalty that keeps us united as one. Our main language is Russian if you couldn't tell, we will ensure our ties to our heritage remain strong and that the language of our ancestors is preserved. In these meetings we will host often, it can range from enjoying delicious meals to sharing stories of the old country and singing classic Russian songs, to even making important decisions where alliances are formed and business is conducted. A big source of income within the Bratva would be through crew deals with other allies - a large scale trade agreement in product for a profit on both ends. These trades would be handled with the utmost discretion (following back to the security organization), and we do understand the high risk involved in moving large amounts of illicit goods. Our reputation for honor within deals and our ability to control big amounts of product makes us an invaluable partner for anybody to make a profit. Every single dollar made is an opportunity to strengthen alliances and keep our plates full while being able to maintain the respect and loyalty with those who do business with us. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): As previously mentioned above, our members will participate in large-scale meetings with other factions, this could involve intense roleplay moments where members have to use their awareness skills, or even deal with betrayals and sabotage. Why does this work you may ask? It involves a numerous amount of people, gets everyone involved in decision making and keeps tension high which creates a nice buzz within the community. However, not all people are into that whole criminal underworld business. This is why we will host feasts or celebrations for the Bratva which will be Russian themed, these events will be used for lighthearted roleplay and strengthen the family-oriented nature of our faction which offers a break from the usual high tension activities and lets people develop their characters overall. Novgorod Bratva will host initiation ceremonies for new recruits or potential Made Men, marking their full faith to the Bratva with a symbolic ceremony. This involves making them take an oath, participate in a test of loyalty, or a task that makes them prove their faith to the Bratva (Bones, Fingers, Skulls, Etc...)

Name of Character: Israel "Joker" Goldberg SteamID: STEAM_0:1:199103270 Your Discord ID#: 363418635470897154 Date of PK: 1/12/2025 Reason for PK: There was a don's orders set on somebody in the faction so we were all set active, it just so happened that I got RDM baited when everybody was active. Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I, one, had nothing to do with the Don's Orders, nor was I aware of all of us being active, and I was RDM Baited after telling the person that killed me to stop fucking with my Hi-fi. The rule broken was RDM Bait. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/jtEHbT1AZL-WZhWxd?invite=cr-MSxiV2IsMjQ5MTQ3ODUzLA Note: I would like to say I am filing this appeal on his behalf because of a problem with his steam and forum website. For my input of the situation I would just like to say that he was not aware of the situation and wasent aware that she was active. At the same time it was said that she wanted to be set active to take down another member on purpose but someone who was aware about it. Also the template that was pasted was all written by him.

+.99 Idk just make em staff

Banning admin here! The reason for the ban was because of the high amounts of people you ran into that night. The original clip got a better perspective of you actually running into them, but the medal clip is no longer available. From what I remember on the clip, the guy had turned his head towards the intersection and for about 3 seconds your car appeared driving extremely fast while turning into this big crowd of people and running them over. In clip one though, the guy clearly shows the amount of people in the area and how easily it is not to run into a bunch of people. Also the reason for such a decently long ban was because of your priors for VDM and the amount of people you ran into. For my side of the ban I don't see any reason why this would be okay to say I accidently pressed shift (Mind you in the probably fastest vehicle that most people can obtain) and then accidently run into a group of 8-10 people. I personally have driven the car as a inexperienced player and experienced driver, but could control the car enough to not run into a bunch of people. Something to add onto the fact is this car was driving around the city for a fair share before the incident and I think that can at least prompt someone to say in there mind "Hey maybe I shouldn't be driving this vehicle". Overall I think the ban was reasonable even though you did admit to it. Clip 1: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/j1GeqeQAXmJHNmZ4v/C9GrLykTrnR8?invite=cr-MSxCMm0sMjY3NjQwMjA3LA

Banning admin here! So I took the ticket and got my evidence for the RDM. With further communication with the reporter, he sent me a clip of him RDMing him. I then check his logs for combat and find that the reporter had hit one of his friends and then further did not do anything about it. 10 minutes later he then proceeded to shoot the reporter who had his gun out in safety (never pointed it at him) and then further came the ticket. Also by checking his past offenses I find 6 notes of RDM spanning from this year to a couple years before. I also then proceed to check his bans and find again 6 bans of RDM and extensive POs. He told me that he is a changed person and doesn't act like this anymore. I further gave him a 3 day ban because I felt it was reasonable. Evidence: https://ibb.co/ZzGdwYh https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/iZe6CBTIj2FYwiYMo?invite=cr-MSxSRlcsMzMwODc5MDYs https://ibb.co/nkkLtGs Sidenote from me: I feel the ban is legitimate. From the start of this, I have said I am unbiased. I don't side with anyone, not even my own faction members.

+1 dude put a lot of effort in and definetely has the time.

+1 As a fellow public defender, this guy knows how to handle people with no bias. He can hear people out and also give a quick verdict. Good guy! Thanks for the fentanyl btw

Hey there banning staff here! The reason for the original ban was for RDM with one past offense and lying to staff. While in the sit you told me that you didn't get warned or told by the manager to give your name to him. You then proceeded to kill him for no reason. Evidence: https://medal.tv/?contentId=izCnWubZcIfedAb0b&invite=cr-MSw0czgsMjMzODczNDcyLA&spok=d1337cHO9Zvn Also I would like to add, there is no reason for you to make an alt for a 2 day ban or really in general. Clearly our servers caught it and you would have been better off just waiting. If you really like the server, you should have made an appeal for it.

Very good gentlemen for staff but that is one long ass name to be a staff. +1

Im not gonna lie, I have had an interaction with majority of the people in this group and it was outstanding. I have personally played soccer and been to one of there parks and loved every second of it. I like how they want to be more of a community first faction instead of a crime faction. My overall reaction is a massive plus one +1

Question: Why can I whisper with text chats but not voice chats? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: I have recently had this question asked to me and I thought a bit more on this. Considering that some FIVEM and REDM servers have this type of feature, I was thinking about this being in this Gmod server. Considering that most people use voice chat and people like to whisper a lot, why not have it as a feature? My reasoning as to how this can be used would allow people to whisper people without the worry of needing to constantly move or say stay still. Sometimes under tough circumstances, it is hard to whisper when people keep moving or not wanting to hear your voice. Now some things can be lead as a problem that being your voice isn't logged on the server or people not understanding how to use it. I would like to say that if this feature is added, I think it would bring a more interactive experience and here is how I think it should work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How it should work: There should be a button/keybind that you would press that would go through three different talking options. These options include yelling, whispering and normal talk. 1. Yelling - This feature should allow people to yell at a certain distance to make signaling or trying to get a wide spread of people to hear you. This would help with people getting mugged or needing an officer so they can simply yell for help. This should also make it so you could hear a slight sound of someone's voice through a wall. 2. Whispering - This feature should be in created as a small circle around your player where if a person/s can hear only you when they are in this radius. This would help making deals and certain words easier to say when you can whisper with someone vocally. It would also allow for people to talk in cars within there own space and allowing for cops to make brief decisions without people knowing what there planning. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If anyone would like to add some events that would also help with this, please do so, but this is what I could come up with.

+1 Good cop and overall good role-player. Good addition to staff ngl.

This char is very old and used for some fun Japanese roleplay. I never had intent to changing the name because its such an old character. Its used for some fun rp and really just to have some interactions with the community. When I'm talking with people, ill let them know my name is Ms. Wang which usually gets people to wanna interact more.
