"Why is there barely a reward dor passive legal money?" BECAUSE, like i said there is no RISK to that play style. Why do illegal shit if legal is profitable? You took a year break? Your first join date is May 5th, 2024. You came back on a different steam account?

Sort of bad faith arguments but i'll defend the points regardless. 1. We do but the Majority of whiners bring issues we've already addressed; arguments we've dismantled hundreds of times, or just straight up bad ideas/suggestions with no thought or consideration to basic gameplay balance. 2. While the justice system is sometimes slow and can possibly be improved in the future, it still currently works fine, as I am writing this there are ~10 open DA tickets and 8 open criminal cases (overlap). This actually isn't that high as it used to be as a majority of charges will result in plea deals (as is what happens in real life) and you have to consider that a lot of cases remain open because the defendants effectively refuse to co-operate or take the legal RP seriously, they view it as a dark rp type arrest where they get put in jail for 2 minutes and are then instantly released. This is a different gamemode with a more functional real world justice system. Don't want to waste the time? Don't do the crime, or just accept the plea. Majority of them are under 45 years anyways. Get a lawyer, you're probably an idiot on your own. That being said, as @MxR mentioned, getting caught is sort of a skill issue and if they have enough evidence to charge you with 45+ years then it's really a 'don't get caught' problem. People get pk'ed this is the reality of Mafia RP and your first PK is likely always something stupid or avoidable, none of that FiveM 'consensual PK' bullshit. Actions have consequences. 3. There's already a good amount of legal ways to make money, such as; taxi services, delivery trucks, working jobs for factions and their events, collecting oil, collecting scrap from trash cans and any other LEGAL hustle you can invent in your brain (it is an RP server after all, you have to be inventive). Adding more profitable venues to legal RP does nothing to enhance the RP of a MAFIA RP server, as mentioned by @Demigod the game will always reward high risk actions like gun running or drug selling since you can be arrested for it. It simply sounds like all you have done is wait on shipments instead of using the tools we've given you to produce your own RP. It's not only about money ! 4. This is something we've already considered as a concept, mind you slightly altered, and are looking into it. Time will tell. As for the last paragraph you wrote: I consider this to be a bad faith argument. Saying only the old heads are sticking around is just wrong. The nature of a game server is that people filter in and out and usually you mark a 10 to 20% retention rate when popular. New players that enjoy the game stick around, like yourself, you joined for the first time in early May and more than 3 weeks later you're still around. Diverge has been open since December of 2020, that is more than three years of straight operation. Players will play for a few months, disappear for a year, then come back again. This 'glory' has lasted that long and will continue to last as long as we put the effort and time into it. Basically, your paragraph implies that us not immediately accepting your suggestions as pure truth of reality would lead to the server dying, which obviously isn't the case.

Thank you for applying for a faction. Unfortunately your application has been denied. We do not believe your faction or application is sufficient enough to be accepted. You may re-apply with the above issues rectified, when re-applying keep in mind that a well written application with good grammar, and a detailed backstory will help in getting accepted.

Name was already used by an existing faction. Poor faction backstory, little to no RP examples given, has been banned for item transfer while application has been up. No edits or further comments were made to the application.

Your messages to me yesterday were confusing which is why I had originally ignored them. I completely forgot about this until I went back to look at the chats from the ban date. From what I can see, you and friends of yours, I assume yall were IRL friends, were playing on the server and had developed some sort of beef with the at the time Genovese faction. I vaguely remember a coup ticket being made against @Seansx and it was denied. From this beef, you had applied to staff for the sole intent and purpose of gaining meta/staff abused information against them in an attempt to have them all arrested / killed off. From your own words you only joined staff in order to 'get back at those who wronged you'. In essence, once we discovered the use of a private discord that had been used with the intent to metagame we gathered enough proof to justify your ban and the ban of anyone else involved. I then confronted you about it over DMs / VC, whatever it was. In there I told you it would be a permanent ban unless you were forthcoming and simply co-operated with us, to which you denied the involvement of anyone else and later proudly proclaimed "I aint snitching!" Like that reputation matters on a Garry's mod server. Note that your refusal to co-operate was in the end irrelevant since we still banned the other guilty parties. Obviously staff abuse is a brain dead short term move and a severe violation of trust, you also clearly didn't care about the consequences of what you did quote "I don't mind not getting unbanned." In our conversation I offered you a more than fair opportunity to reduce the perma, considering the offence and you refused. In the conversation I also expressed my disappointment in your actions and you expressed both your love for staffing and love for the server, but you made the conscious decision to remain permabanned for effectively no reason or cause. I'm curious, despite you originally accepting the perma and doing nothing to help yourself, why do you feel appealing now is any different? You brushed away the one chance afforded to you to still exist as a member of this community. Why in god's green earth should we exercise any good faith when you couldn't exercise self-control nor the most basic level of decency when caught?
