As Scott said, some evidence of how Ghouler harassed/targeted would aid your case, like screenshots of what he said in the discord and the context surrounding that (I say context as in don't just show what he said, screenshot the entire chat so we have the full picture). As for the GhoulsEye situation, it would additionally help if you provided information on that situation as to what prompted him to just threaten to mute you. Did he do it out of the blue when you were bringing up your concerns regarding Ghouler? Did you say heated words and/or he perceived you as "annoying" him? How did he treat you harshly and what did he say/do to make you feel like you were being spoken down to? Please flesh this report out more so it can be properly assessed.

I understand the argument between "BOS and Enclave are balanced for each other solely" but if each core is REQUIRED to fight each other, then you have to balance them all against each other, otherwise how is it fair for the other cores? If it's a guaranteed 1v1v1v1, NCR and Legion should be balanced with Enclave in mind since they will be fighting them indefinitely. In my personal experience, I have seen almost no enclave in science uniforms nor have I seen enlisted, only PA (then again, could be timezone diff and all that so take this with a grain of salt). Additionally, I have seen plasma gats in action when fighting the PLA, that shit snipes across render (at least, last time I fought it it was that way).

That's not the reason, but something being POTENTIALLY abusable and something that has been previously abused is a big difference. Think Tank had super strong equipment but carefully moderate it, and VT doesn't "do whatever they want" with the GECK. It's carefully monitored with log and all. I think we have only used 1 GECK this entire wipe, and the project was denied so technically it's 0. If the POTENTIAL for abuse was a worry, they'd nerf the defib price and stock rate because it could POTENTIALLY get abused by FOA, but it hasn't, so they don't. You are planning for VT spamming out GECKs when that hasn't ever been a worry. And to remind you, we are talking about the realm of research, you know, something that majority of players don't give a shit about or want to do, we aren't talking about several high ends and adding more onto it, this buff and the GECK are very niche and will continue to be. In conclusion, a research buff + GECK shouldn't conflict in the same way a faction can add several high ends without it increasing the price of their other high ends into their vendor. Which the latter has far more utility and usability for the server generally than a research buff.

GECKs are not as good as you think, recall that research is incredibly niche to begin with. Plus that would still be issue regardless if the research boosts were researched, so. Furthermore, we do sell GECKs and were told to by dev team so radically altering it would hurt everyone. Additionally, almost no one wants to buy them because 99% of server don't research that warrants a GECK (i.e. fac storage/MRE don't need it), and a GECK is one of the few decent things we have, so a Research Boost + GECK is not as OP as you think Think Tank have 2x research boost but do we see them popping off? Case in point.

What do you want to be changed? Research Boost of 1.5x for Vault-Tec Explanation of suggestion? I was told I needed to make a suggestion about it, so here we are. The Vault is advanced enough to start with a buff, comparatively speaking, to other factions who have a boost given VT has an impressive amount of products they have produced personally. On top of the fact the Vault would have the necessary Pre-War information to continue the survival of control/colonization Vaults, where intact information, resources and items can be found. (This list does not include weaponry that the Vault has built, experiments, etc which are numerous). West-Tek pales in comparison to the amount of products the Vault has built. How the Research Boosts would be incorporated would the storage facility that we commonly use in projects that, in RP, would be used to maintain the Vault and is how the Vault is able continue to manufacture it's own goods without requiring significant outside resources. How or why does this benefit the server? Bring Vault-Tec more in line and up-to-date with other factions who have some research boosts. Are there any workshop add-ons or content needed for this suggestion? N/A

You realize you can just....do this, right? You can create a discord (like the example one you did; any info can't be used ICly and it can't be used to coordinate activities without staff inside), and invite some of the higher ranking staff inside it so it becomes "IC" and that'd be it. Townships, like a New Haven, Vault, or Freeside discords are cool and encouraged. If it's specifically a single waster guild, you can be "sponsored" by an actual faction (i.e. you set up your waster guild inside of another faction's discord to make it IC).

This is faction storage... It doesn't need paragraphs of text for every line, that would be ridiculous and you trying to create an expectation of that is what will burn out researchers. Let's not make researching significantly harder by trying to create this standard that any /me people do must be 5+ lines long of grueling text. What next? Are you gonna say my book logs need to be at least a full 8.5 × 11 inches paper of text? People still have lives beyond this, please be respectful of their time. I'd like to remind you this is a faction storage, a Tier 1, very easy project to do. A paragraph of text in line should be exceeding expectation, not meeting it. 1-3 sentences should perfectly suffice, ESPECIALLY in light of me already doing paragraphs of text in the other three days. Also I don't know what you mean by "honest detail", I didn't fabricate or lie about any of my stuff so if you are trying to insinuate something? (I take screenshots of the whole chat filled with /me's to prevent this exact callout). Furthermore, I would recommend you review some of the older projects that 4 day research lockers are permissible. Lastly, if you have the spare time to scrutinize all of my projects in particular, why don't you spend it on the other 6+ projects that were posted before mine? Plasma Rain could use scrutiny given it's a Heavy Plasma Repeater, something more balance changing. Anyway, back to doing something besides research!

It goes well beyond the "kid" thing, as I have stated twice now (I would prefer it if you actually read my entire posts) , he was extremely toxic the entire time, very ooc about it, refusing to do any sort of RP, radio'd his teammates during the kidnapping, resisted orders WHILE in handcuffs, etc etc. I wish it was as simple as "he had kids he had to take care of and left" but that's not where the story ends with this individual, and trying to frame it entirely around that is dishonest. I would not care but he made it very unpleasant for us with his attitude and complete lack of cooperation, even with staff involved. Having kids does not mean you are immune to all the fucking rules on the server and can radio teammates that you're being kidnapped, like dear god, read the post. RP is not as fun when you are actually trying to do interrogation or something and they just call you "fat virgin american cunt losers who do nothing but play video games all day with no life" in 10 different ways and then "./me roleplay". It doesn't exactly make me want to feel bad when you then decide to conveniently ditch, for the third time, the RP situation.

Except that's exactly what you did, twice, and then left during the kidnapping. (below we had already approached you and I just called staff because you refused to cooperate again). This is not mentioning the fact you radio'd your teammates while in handcuffs + gagged, refused to cooperate while in handcuffs + gun on you, were extremely toxic and OOC about the whole thing (beyond the mentioning of the kid) and so on. Whether or not you get a reduction is beyond me, but I am completely against a full unban, if you make me have to call staff FOUR TIMES against you in the same session and you have clearly no intention to roleplay with us, I question why bother being on an RP server.

I am mixed on this. On CGC, waster guilds are not given the same protections and rights as an actual faction claiming a base does (such as, you can't shoot people for entering your "base" and there is no "spawn room" because you can move your guild anywhere at any time and place it in weird, potentially problematic spots, like making your spawn out in the open and therefore you have 24/7 spawn protection or that entire open space is your KOSable "base"). Or setting up your guild spawn in one room in a building does not allow you to "own" the entire building, at least in CGC. So a lot of your arguments are on the assumption that you are afforded those same rights that actual factions do, and I don't know if Divide does that, because CGC sure as hell didn't.

Fusion Reactors are a case-by-case basis, and I would imagine since the Vault already runs on a Fusion Reactor to power everything, it wouldn't be far off to convert that as oppose to say Raiders trying to make one completely from scratch (think if you had a laser rifle and you wanted a scoped laser rifle, do you really have to do the full days for the scoped if you already have the scopeless variant)?

-1 There is so much omission I am shocked that you even tried to appeal it while withholding so much background information. As one of the people who bore witness to the entire incident, I can safely say, this does not deserve a full unban. We had to call staff 4 times on you because you kept refusing to engage with us in accordance with rules. 1.) We tried to kidnap you earlier, and you kept resisting FearRP with 4+ guns on you saying "you guys are fucking virgins, I have a kid I need to check on" and so on. We decided to not pursue the blatant break in FearRP because I thought, "maybe he's right, and he has kids to deal with and I can sympathize with that" and left it at that. 2.) We tried again to kidnap an MEF some time later, it just so happen to be you (MEF was in green so unlucky) and then you started up saying "I have a kid I need to worry about" or something along those lines and started moving and resisting FearRP. You already used that excuse once, so if your kid is that needing of attention, maybe you shouldn't be on Gmod right now? So we called staff and had him freeze you so we could drag you. The entire time, you were cursing us out and saying just toxic shit (and not checking on your kid that I thought needed attention) 3.) While we were dragging you, you radio'd not once, not twice, but three times. While you were gagged, mind you, and you kept insulting us the entire trip so not soon after MEF kept sniffing around the Vault because you metagame'd hard that you were in VT's clutches. 4.) While being dragged, you proceeded to start refusing to move and resist handcuffs, so we had to call staff, AGAIN and they gave you a verbal warning to knock it the fuck off. All the while, you continued to be toxic. 5.) I told you in ooc that we were just trying to draw blood from you because it was a RP thing we were doing, and you started saying "./me roleplay" several times while I was trying to do it. I was going to just draw your blood and kill you, I told you this in hopes you would cooperate because I did not intend to hold you for long, but given all of the above and your extremely toxic attitude, we decided to hold you longer and that's when 6.) Your kid needs attention for the third time when we held you captive and you decided to LTARP. Like I said before, if your kid is this needy that it occurs 3 times in a short span of time, I don't think you should be playing Gmod. Plus I find it very convenient that the kid reasoning came up whenever the RP wasn't on your terms, you can't say "my kid has needs" every time we try to kidnap you, and then on the other foot, you stay at your PC the entire time cursing us out and being generally toxic. Like I said, -1 I get people don't like being kidnapped, but you were unpleasant the entire time and me having to call staff constantly was a chore and a half, this goes well beyond the kid thing.

I support cores fighting one another, BUT: I don't see why cores need MORE of a buff, they already have the strongest vendors on the server (in terms of price and several weapons), on TOP of more ways to make caps than customs. The more you buff cores, the more customs will suffer because cores will just end up buying all the high ends from merchants that all the customs have to compete equally for. I don't want blooming Enclave to buy the VG plasma caster / gatling laser on top of the one they get in their vendor for hella cheap (thus saving them money to buy the VG high ends from the more money making ways they have!). It's already happening in fact, look at Legion, NCR, etc. They have a LOT of high ends that are not from their vendor...

What do you want to be changed? Add effects to all the nuka drinks so they are not identical. Explanation of suggestion? A copy-paste suggestion by a certain, @Solozealot from the other server. Presently, all nuka drinks function near identical (except for the bigger ones like quantum or victory). The drinks should confer different benefits so that it would be a more meaningful purchase between the various drinks. Fusion - [Effect, +2 STG, +1 END] Nuka Grape! - [Effect +1 PER, +1 INT} Nuka Orange - [Effect +1 Luck, +1 Cha] Nuka Cola Cherry - [Effect +2 PER] Nuka Quartz - [Effect +1 INT, +2 Luck] Nuka Clear - [Effect, Removes some eradiation with a sweet taste] How or why does this benefit the server? Vary the drinks that are out and about in the wasteland. Are there any workshop add-ons or content needed for this suggestion? N/A
