Why not just leave it unorganized. Why bother sorting if you wont do it urself. Shift click harder.

Did you mean to post this in ban appeals? Not character appeals?

Hey so you got reported, with messages in screenshots, which we don't show because that exposes the person who reported the issue to then be harassed for being a good community member. I saw these images myself (and i dont know you so i can't possibly be biased) and in them you very clearly describing how you were specifically target mugging people you don't like to fuck with them, on one or more characters, obviously mugging is fine but it can't be explicitly OOC targeted, nor can it span alt chars, bleed into unrelated char roleplay or be the ONLY thing you do. The rules are fairly clear and yes it can be complicated because the issue is nuanced but it requires a frontal lobe. You claim you do other rp other than mugging? Fine, prove it. Even though you have an extensive ban record, this is your first perma. So I will give you a chance, a chance to redeem yourself and reform. Given your insane ban record if you get re-banned for any rule break (RDM, LTARP, NLR, etc) it will be extended to perma, not only that but you are also totally barred from mugging for the next 6 months. Should you be mugging when explicitly told not to you will be rebanned as well. You provide roleplay that isn't mugging? Perfect, do that for the next 6 months and don't get banned. Become a reformed rule abiding player on the server, because if you get re-perma'ed we're not gonna bother giving you your 18th chance.

It's just a funny joke, like all of the ranks, they don't matter

Granted, I wrote this before we started doing custom edits of the map, which we still do edit the map periodically (and are working on some edits now) but for mafia RP bigger=/=better, even during max 128/128 pop on the server now only 10-15% of the buildings are being used at any given time. This is because people are walking around doing things, roleplaying. In gamemodes that encourage player to player interaction you want the concentration of players to be tighter, not wider. We should be making the map smaller and reducing the amount of buildings so you're more densely and sensibly using and sharing the spaces around you.

Reminder for those replying. As for the bans, not only yours but the other involved, glad to clear it up since people seem to be spreading misinformation as to why they were banned and what exactly took place. There seems to be some prevailing narrative that it was a 'friend server' or 'a stock exchange market' and that people were unfairly banned, or banned even though they never typed a message. This was the entire server, a server very specifically created and dedicated to circumventing the gameplay loop and the very well established discord and metagame rules. A discord that is outside the permitted discords list which is being used to organize deals which should be done in-game does constitute a rulebreak even if the user had no messages in the discord they still are very clearly involved and intend to use it for purposes outside what is permitted. This was populated by players who have hundreds of hours in-game and definitely know better, so all things considered the bans are not exactly unreasonable or insane and if anything serve as a reminder that yes the rules matter and yes your decisions matter, if there's an active rulebreak occurring you should be reporting it instead of silently benefitting from your involvement. What is the takeaway here? Any and all discords that exist for the express purpose of diverge related activities, communication, trading, etc are not permitted only the official faction discords are approved, you risk being punished for being involved with metagame. Can a friend discord get you banned? No, hanging out in a separate discord with your friends that is in no way shape or form related to Diverge will not get you banned. Of course if you use that friend discord to then metagame or trade for Diverge related purposes you do open yourself up to administrative action.

Reminder that for bans of a finite length only those directly involved in the situation should reply. Permanent bans are where you may freely yap under. Thread cleaned up.

Reminder not to comment on character appeals unless you were directly involved and had something productive to add to the convo. Thread cleaned up.

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.

You said this last time you were perma banned for mass rdming . Then you got banned for doing the same thing again a couple months later. Sorry but we remain unconvinced, no point in us believing you anymore.

Your steam id is STEAM_0:0:804327998 not whatever you put there. 13 total bans. You first joined January 7th 2024. Playtime is at 2 days, 23 hours. Your 12 previous bans total ~51 days of ban time. Meaning you spent about 1760% of your time here banned. Your current ban was issued on 26/7/2025. 236 days ago. You had 12+ chances to learn the rules. I invite you to appeal this ban again on 9/1/2028. Which is what I deem reasonable given the caliber and length of your past bans. Otherwise you may open a support ticket in the main discord to discuss further options if you feel like putting something up to lose.

While I don't necessarily think scripting or enforcing this through main characters / in server mechanics is a good thing or required the issue with creating a character to perform hits is persistent, it's something I have discussed with Pendred in the past and to quote him directly making alts to do pks to avoid consequence is "gay" and "Idc about <durr in real life people hire other people> its a gameplay thing". I am poised to agree with him, while I understand the perspective some people offer by explaining it away using the "zip" fallacy it's simply bad for gameplay, in a situation where you are potentially destroying a character that someone has put hundreds, maybe even thousands of hours into there should be risk to the people preforming the hit, people whom already have the objective advantage btw, to create a character to avoid the consequences is "bitch shit". It's simply doesn't mirror reality given that the 'zips' in real life are still real people who can literally lose their lives or be arrested while/after doing these hits, whereas an alt character can be deleted to then never face any repercussions. This already is / has been a rule for years, but I'll add an extra line to make it even more super duper clear. (the existing rule) While this suggestion is technically denied it has caused me to elaborate on a rule. If it continues being a problem in the future maybe a character playtime requirement could be added for a person to perform PKs for their faction, this can easily be enforced at the script level.

I definetely dont have an issue open for anims. I do. But making them is annoying afaik. One day!

Did you chatGPT making this thread dude
