[Hoovis]

-1, go back to UGS

oh wait....

[kash]

-1

i love Ghasts and grant very much

however

Flanagan’s were extremely toxic to all members of UA and overall after leaving for UGS and shit talking diverge to all hell there is absolutely no reason you should have a faction again

grant just apply for grants again we need oil

I didnt leave for UGS, i didnt actually leave for any server I left because I didnt want to play anymore.
And i dont recall shit talking diverge to all hell

not you ghasts, your faction members (xosad, red etc)


Oh i get it now but you have to realise thats 2 dudes out of 30 which back in diverge it was 2 dudes out of 50 the rest of them never really bothered with staff.

I dont think its fair to put that on all of them.

I'm not even in the faction lmao, if you don't want flanagans have a decent reason rather than "oooh their members hurt my feelings"

clearly if you’re on this forum post that means you either are or want to be lmao

[Bonito]

+1

[Sannicandro]

+1 I always enjoyed the Flanagan’s rp

The history of this crime group has been very controversial, mainly due to the player reports against their don, Michael Flanagan, for minging (and abusing his alt judge character to harass cops) in which he received several warnings and bans. While Flanagans did hold a level of power in the server, there has been universal disdain for Flanagans for their methods on how they interact with staff and the player base (Chriss O'Connor is one prime example). When Flanagans ended, Grant and Michael gave up millions of dollars to leave for UGS. Regardless, I recall specifically Grant stating he will never return to Diverge as he finds it no longer fun, and Michael (Ghasts) stating he will not return to the server unless there is a money wipe. (Diverge's quality has improved over the year, and a money wipe never happened)

So what standard of behavior should be tolerated for faction leaders in Diverge? As I write about this, I am not focusing on the history of success or failures of Flanagan's faction in RP, I am focusing solely on the quality of character that we should hold Faction Leaders too and the standard we hold them too as Grant applies for this. We must look at the standard of quality because toxic Faction Leaders can lead to the server RP quality dropping.

First regarding Grant's character, I have no doubt he can lead a faction, as he has done it before, but his character qualities does not suit the nature of what Diverge's quality of faction leaders should aspire too. Grant currently is a Senior Admin and apart of Roleplay Management of Vulkan Networks (formerly Head Gamemaster for a short time): https://gyazo.com/d1e1314430d7be11c41e2f38190534c3, and was formerly apart of UGS leadership. As Grant left UGS, he openly admitted in his second PK character denial ticket (after already being denied his PK once by UA) that he nuked all the documents for UGS after leaving: https://gyazo.com/c2b83eb1a4b800c27fcc86c031f1a6e4

This is already one example of toxic behavior of an unstable individual that cannot be trusted to maintain basic documentations, let alone for a faction he is leading. If Grant gets angry, will he leave his faction in the dust and delete all of their documentation? When Grant moved over to UGS, he supported Audrey in attempting to subvert Diverge's policy of removing factions that decide to make a faction on different servers: https://gyazo.com/18b54ee36080e7e138032a6b18b49b12

As Grant states after Audrey attempts to use the "Audrey's Friend Role," Grant responds with "This is smart." Grant does not have the best interest in supporting Diverge Networks and supported the ruination of our community. It does not matter whether or not Grant wants to play either server, it is a problem to approve a faction application to an unstable individual who has no interest in supporting our community and playing with others here. Grant rather seeks to destroy those around him for his own personal ego, and cannot be trusted because he already did it for Vulkan Networks.

This was evidently clear when Grant attempted two times to appeal his Jake Grant character after I have already settled the matter of his PK with staff and the courts a year ago, and attempted to evade going to court for months in his ticket so he can keep his character, and to this very day, Grant still lies that his character is still alive to his close friends because he cannot handle his ego of losing his main character: https://gyazo.com/ed8e7092ad4904ff68ecc3070911c858
Even when Grant/Flanagan ran the NYC government, it was a colossal failure that ended up with the government getting nothing done and Grant ending his term.

The importance of being a faction leader is to create fun, controversial RP with other factions in a fair manner that respects the rules and the community. I fail to see how Grant has done any of those things to make him competent to ever lead a faction again, let alone the Flanagans after they ran to two other failed servers. The only reason why this app is made, is because UGS and Vulkan failed to make a server that was fun for Grant and Ghasts, while all of the faction leaders and players on our server (Diverge) have put in time, money, and hours of effort to build their factions in a manner that respects Diverge's rules and staff.

So why would it be acceptable to approve a faction application to a doc nuking egotistical community trasher that has no interest in the betterment of our community? If you don't see it too, then you have came to the same conclusion as I have.

-1: Due to Grant and the Flanagan group failing to meet the basic standards of quality player expectations to run a faction on Diverge Networks. Regardless if Grant is leading this group, he is still apart of the process as he posted this application.
