  2. Who Would Politicians Pick?

    I would like to know who the politicians in Identity believe which real world politician they are the most similar to, e.g, some people may be like Donald Trump, others like Justin Trudeau. My second question to Identities politicians is, apart from yourself, which politician would be the best Governor?
  3. First Lady/ First Gentlemen

    I was just wondering if any of the political candidates have an in-game relationship. If they win, would their spouse have any power. Do any of the political candidates have a spouse, just wondering?
  4. Hi all, my name is Francepourlavie and I am currently looking for a business that can help support and supply my campaign. I will pay the business to create merchandise, paint vehicles with the logo of my party (Front National), set up the stages on my campaign tour, organize my schedule and many more jobs. If you are interested feel free to reply to this thread.
  5. To the people who are keeping this great game safe, I thank and address you. My name is Francepourlavie, I am the founder and current president of the Front National Party in Identity RPG I have a strong belief that police should be the only citizens that should have the rights to firearms. I will hold a public vote on this topic. I want to introduce the role of Police Commissioner, The Commissioner will be the leader of the police force and will deal with all police related issues. A few well respected members of the police force and I will choose The Commissioner if I am elected. I will also fight to make sure that ALL terrorism is removed from the game. I will introduce a special anti-terror force within the police department. Armed police officers will patrol the streets to make sure that citizens are safe at all times. I will increase funding for the police department. I will allow police to remove all players masks. This is simply for identification of players. I thank the police, who fight EVERY SINGLE DAY, to keep our great citizens safe! Vote for FrancePourLaVie to make Identity safe!
  6. I just wanted something to be cleared up really quick. Will hallucinogens be in the game like LSD, magic mushrooms, and DMT? If they will be it would be quite fun to experence in game (I am not promoting drug use in real life). It would be an extremly unique game feature if atleast one of these drugs could be made, used, and sold in game as pretty much any other video games do not include drugs that make you halluncinate. If drugs like those listed will be in the game it would be cool, I just hope the effects would be very complex and authentic instead of just a filter thrown over your screen. Sometimes when you use these substances your enitre field of vision is obscured by shapes and colors, or your in a completley different place it seems like where it seems as though you are the universe itself according to users of these chemicals. Overall if any of those drugs or one like it will be in the game it would add a very unique aspect to the crime lifestyle. Thanks for reading, (***I do not want to try these substances in real life***).
  7. My political views

    I agree that there should be a tax to cover things like law enforcement, but can someone tell me what will be your system to have actually efficient health care system, because when it comes down to it, this is just a game so I feel like it would take way too much work to handle this. But what bugs me the most is road work that all the candidates are talking bout when it's a computerized map that will not be damaged according to the developers from today's stream. I do agree with those of you who said that the island in identity should have a death penalty for those who did serious crimes like murder (#treat people the way you want to be treated) and such. According to the Front National Party, they want for any person that has done any crime to not be able to obtain any sort of fire arm even if legally. I do not agree with this, because what if their crime was a non-violent crime? Also another reason I don't agree with FNP (Front National Party) is even if person did create a crime, I still want them to be safe in any given circumstance, unless they get the death penalty. THANK YOU FOR VIEWING AND I AM NOT RUNNING I JUST WANTED TO STATE WHAT I WANTED TO SEE FROM THESE CANDIDATES
  8. Français National {FN} (Brand Update)

    Front National Logo As A Candidate:Being a candidate for The Français National would give you massive support and votes from all other members of the party, and in turn you will be asked to support and represent The Front National if you become Governor. As A Citizen:Being a citizen and supporter of The Français National would help make your decision for the election a lot easier. If there is a Français National Governor then you can be assured that the ideologies you believe in will be 100% supported by our governor. All party members are encouraged to run in elections and are also asked to support your fellow Front National party members in the elections. Before the actual elections begin, a small campaign will begin in search of The Français National nominee for the elections, this system will keep our party organised, it will help rally up the members of the party to support their nominee in the election. It will also help the parties chance of success in the election, as all members of the party will vote for 1 candidate instead of having multiple candidates. Parties Ideologies:The Français National is strongly pro-police. We would say we are strongly right-wing. We would like to introduce the new police role of Commissioner. The Commissioner will earn more money than any other member of the law enforcement occupation. The Commissioners job is to handle all police related issues, this will allow our governor to spend their time on other situations. The party supports LGBT+ rights and supports gay marriage and adoption. We believe that pensions should be mainly private and will not support government pensions, this is to the benefit of the people, as a pension company is expensive to run and if we cancel it, it will give us more money to spend on other new government programmes. We believe in a flat 12% tax on income however we believe in tax cuts for certain citizens, e.g, single parent tax cut. Expect an announcement from our party leader later on about joining the campaign for governor. I am the official founder and current party leader. If you have any inquiries or would like to join the party, feel free to leave a reply. Regards-FrancePourLaVie.
  9. The "New Guy"

    Hello, Yes.. I am fairly new to identity. I heard of it a while back through a YouTube video and have checked on the website a few times in the past months. Though, my experience with this developing game lacks, greatly. I have plans to assist in making this game as enjoyable as possible, how? Well, once I can further get the ropes down, I hope to work together with other users to really get Identity's name out there. I know at least a dozen people that would crave to be apart of this. It is taking RP games to the appropriate level, a standard I've been seeking for years. Boy am I glad I stumbled across this! The Newbie, Gentino Donny Costellano III

  11. Career Poll(improved)

    Hi, I was thinking this would be an interesting topic in the community. I haven't seen any of this kind of poll yet, so I decided to do one myself. I hope you all answer to this poll edited on May 12.
  12. The Civic National Party

    Hello, and welcome to this overview of the Civic National Parties policies. Taxes. Taxation under a Civic Nationalist government will be moderate. Directing the funds in the essential with a large portion going to a couple of key ideas which we will go over. Healthcare - One of the high points of tax payer money at work, we wish to establish a form of National Health Service for all citizens. To live a healthy life is a liberty undeserving to no one. The Justice system - funding of this will be standard, as offenders are to be punished rather than rehabilitated. Rehabilitation will be reserved for those of first time offences and minor crimes. Policing - Like healthcare this will be another key topic of high funding. Police will not only be more militarized, but we also propose the first ever installment of a special counter terrorist unit to protect and neutralize all potential threats. Corporations - To benefit us as a nation and to put the nation and it's people first, we will impose a Corporate Tax on all big businesses to assure that they do their part for society just as much as everyone else does. Public transportation - We understand that not everyone has the ability to own a vehicle, so we aim to make sure there is a public transport for the city and outer city limits. This will also increase job opportunities. Work Induction Programs - To get people on the right path in life(Or for new players) we wish to establish career programs that will help citizens get into their preferred job role, as well as to be shown all the pointers of how best to perform in that career. Crime. To protect and serve our people better - Law enforcement officials will be given more legislated jurisdiction when tackling gang related crime and terrorism. We will also make it mandatory for all serving officers to take part in a public relations program to make sure they uphold and represent the ideals and values we hold so dear. Minor offences - For offences such as possession of illegal narcotics for PERSONAL use, offenders will find themselves likely with fines rather than jail time. However depending on the type of crime, drug and intention, offenders can face jail time with rehabilitation or community service. Major offences - Offenders of severe crimes that have endangered those around them or intended to do harm will face Jail time with no rehabilitation. They will serve their time and punishment. Drugs. Categorization - Drugs will be categorized into three classes, Class A, B, and C. Class A being a substance that is completely and utterly band and will be highly illegal, Class B being a drug that is not exactly illegal to use but can earn a fine to those caught using it and jail time for those selling it, and Class C being legalized drugs. Legal Drugs - Other than typical prescription drugs, Marijuana and Psychedelics will be legal. However an employer has the right to turn you away from employment if they believe you to be a liability or risk. So use within moderation and take responsibility for your actions. Driving under the influence - This goes without say that any drug driving or drunk driving will be faced with jail time with rehabilitation. Firearms. Every citizen will have the right to bare arms - However this will be only permitted if they under go vetting and can give a legitimate reason for owning the weapon, as well as proving that they are not a danger to the public or themselves. Handguns - Hand guns are the only permitted weapon to be sold as a form of self defense once the vetting process has been successful. Rifles - Assault weapons will be completely band and reserved for law enforcement and counter-terrorist units, but small low caliber rifles such as bolt action hunting rifles will be legal for those outside the city limits and only for hunting/pest control purposes. Licenses - There will be two major types, standard which will permit you to own the weapon within your home for home defense, and open carry which will cost more, but give you the right to carry as long as it is not concealed. All other weaponry will be strictly illegal, including knives unless the knife owner has a permit and proof that it is being used for hunting or building purposes. Voting. The right to vote is a crucial principle for our party. On each and every bit of legislation that is being proposed the people will have a right to vote and have their say. The only time this is every excluded is in times of national emergency. The only people who will not have the right to vote are those currently serving prison sentences as they are prisoners for their sentence, and not citizens. Miscellaneous. To go over a couple of things we believe might not be fully understood. Work induction programs - These are designed to take players and get them familiar with the career path they wish to take, as well as helping those coming out of prison on rehabilitation programs to get back into work and become valued members of society. The Civic National form of rehabilitation - We believe that to get offenders ready to go back into society they should under go different forms of community services, whether it be sanitation or working crops for the local farmers. Counter-Terrorist Units - These units will be created to handle situations beyond the SWAT teams means. From riot control, to gang war neutralization. These units will be assigned to taking on the Cartels and bringing them to their knees. As this is a new and first draft of the parties manifesto, we have not had the opportunity to be asked questions yet. But if you do have any questions, or wish to express criticism, feel free to message me. Signed, Ryder Saxon. Party Leader.

  17. Hello! I am Supreme Leader, and I am running for Governor through the National Identity Front. Who am I? Allow me to introduce myself in a bit more detail. My name is Supreme Leader, and I'm a Korean American male from Seattle, Washington. I have the innate ability to organize, and lead a group of people, as well as the ability to take criticism well. I am very open-minded, and I enjoy debating with others in order to sharpen my argumentative skills, and to ultimately be a well-rounded and rational person. My idea of the ideal government is one that for the most part, keeps out of the lives of it's people. The role of the government is not to be an invisible gun against the head to the civilians, but rather to help the collective population express their needs through their elected officials. This means that generally for social issues, I find that it's best for the people to decide their own fate, rather than some highly ranked official who has somehow convinced himself of his moral superiority to have the ability to make decisions for the collective majority. Here, I will state my general beliefs for a variety of different heated topics of political discussion. Feel free to question, and challenge me to debate on whatever topic of your choice. As does my party, the NIF, I promote intellectual conversation, and I find that it is one of the most healthy things that you can do for your brain. I'm completely against the idea of exclusion of thought and the idea of thought-policing, as I feel that if you truly are correct in your thinking, then you should have absolutely no problem in making the other person look like a complete idiot in an intellectual discussion. If not, you probably should sit down and consider thinking deeper into your political views. And even in the event that you cannot get to a common ground, being able to disagree while remaining united is the foundation of any great civilization built on intellectual expansion and development. Anyways, let's begin. Topics: Freedom of Speech - This is a topic not being discussed by the other candidates, but I feel that is necessary to address. The right to freedom of speech, historically, has always been created to help support unpopular speech. Popular speech has no need for such laws of protection, because popular speech protects itself. It is important that we hear out every possible political ideology out there, and then weed out those that are weak through proper, intellectual discussion. The concept goes something like this: If you truly believe that you are correct in comparison to another person, then what is the worry in taking to them in a debate? Challenging your views and beliefs with others does nothing more than help sharpen your ability to logical reason, but on top of that it helps weed out inferior or outdated beliefs within our society. Marijuana - I find it to be absolutely useless to waste our time and money on trying to fight against the use of recreational marijuana. However, I still strongly believe that there should be strict regulations on ALL different kinds of drugs. For example, I find that there should be a vote among the people in which we decide the legal age to purchase, and posses certain amounts of marijuana. I believe that in social topics such as these, that it should be in the hands of the people to decide their fate. Gun Control - I am a strong believer in the right to bear arms, for multiple different reasons. Firstly, I find that there is a always a threat of potential government tyranny. The people should be able to fight back against an authoritarian government, if it gets to that extreme. Secondly, the threat of being a victim of crime is always a constant threat as well. The people should be able to defend themselves against those wicked-minded, and also when criminals begin to acknowledge that more and more people are deciding to carry weapons, the crime rate will naturally decrease. However, with more loose policy on gun control, there must be more strict punishments if someone were to be caught misusing their firearms. Longer jail time, and other penalties need to be enforced to discourage this behavior. Minimum Wage - As a person who advocates for free-market, I do not feel there needs to be a need for government regulation on minimum wage. It's more than a myth that government or businesses controls prices, or wages. The market does. The government should not be saturating the market with enforcing fictitious prices and wages out of nowhere, because the market will naturally balance these wages and prices out through supply, demand, and the economic prosperity of the consumer base. The Law - With giving more freedoms to the people, there needs to be harsh punishments to deter these people from turning to a life of crime. This means longer prison sentences, and harsher penalties for committing crimes. Obviously, the punishments will vary dependent on the type of crime. However, with giving the people the privilege of certain liberties, we must give incentive them to maintain a positive lifestyle through having them acknowledge the dire consequences for going against the law of the land. The Government - I find that the role of the government is to accurately represent the people, and to give the people a voice in which they can express their views. Through this, I will help support intellectual discussion within our population, and enforce the law of freedom of speech. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Taxes - This one will be an odd-ball because we don't necessarily know how the economy will function as of now, and we can only make speculate at this point. However, these are my proposed tax plans (due to change, but the general principles will still be the same). Income Tax: Up to $9,000 ------- 3% tax $9000-$30,000 ------- 5% tax $30,000-$80,000 ------- 15% tax $80,000-$100,000 ------- 20% tax $100,000-$200,000 ------- 25% tax $200,000+ ------- 28% tax This proposed tax plan is to ensure power in the middle class, and to support consumerism in the market for not only people of business interests to thrive, but also our consumer population. I will also allow people to write-off donations and charity in their taxes, however to stop tax avoidance, only 70% of the total donations and charity will be able to be written off. This way a person of $200,000 income can't just "donate" $200,000 to a friend's organization, just for his friend to give it back to him, with the initial guy having zero tax liability. However, having the ability to write off donations and charity will still help give incentive people to give back to their communities, while still not taking a huge hit in their net incomes. Business Tax: I propose a low 2% corporate income tax, for a few reasons. 1) Increase in the job market With more businesses having to worry less about how much the government is going to take out of their profits, we should be helping them, as businesses will be an integral part of our economy. With the decrease in focus of taxes, businesses will be able to hire more, pay more, offer better benefits, etc. Now, you may ask: "What if the businesses just pocket the extra cash?" Something to understand is that with everything having to do with a business and a customer, there is always competition. With businesses looking for the best, most motivated, and most efficient workers, they have to offer something with employment that other businesses cannot. This is why we see such an increase of the better workers in the lower class moving to businesses like Amazon IRL, because they offer something to their employees that other businesses just can't compete with. To summarize a bit more, businesses will HAVE to employ more with BETTER benefits in order to even compete in the job market. This is why I don't propose a base minimum wage, because the market will determine this on its own accord, and pushing government regulation on this will do nothing more than harm to our free and open markets. 2) Better benefits for employees Same reasons as above ^^ Competition, competition, and more competition in the job market among employers to attract the best workers they possibly can. 3) If we drastically lower the corporate income tax, we could eliminate the special treatment for dividends and capital gains. The reason we currently have the special rates is to offset the "double taxation" of corporate profits. You can quibble with the term, but the fact remains that a 35% corporate income tax combined with, say, a 43% marginal income tax rate (once we add in the special Medicare surcharges), would be a hell of a disincentive for the very wealthy to invest; you're talking about lowering the projected return on an investment by almost 3/4. There's little question that this would be bad--there's a reason that not even Sweden attempts to levy those sorts of taxes on capital. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I am aware that there are a multitude of topics that I may have missed, but feel free to ask me through a reply! I'd be more than happy to answer or challenge any of you to a debate. Supreme Leader for Governor! President of the National Identity Front (NIF)
  18. NATIONAL IDENTITY FRONT (NIF) There is nothing more important than the political independence for a civilized group of people. As the people, we must embrace and share a communal identity with our nation to ensure that the political measures taken are for the furthering of full sovereignty, self-governance, and for the interest of the people. Through contextualizing history, we can understand that groups of people work best together when they share a common goal and idea. This is the ultimate goal of the National Identity Front. For those who are unaware, allow me to explain the meaning of Nationalism. Nationalism is the patriotic principle which sticks people together of different ethnic, tribal, linguistic, religious and cultural groupings into a single defined population, linked to a specific geographic territory. Our proposed system works through near-total democracy, with the voices of the people being heard over the non-elected bureaucrats who run our land. However, in order to reach such a democracy which is fair and equal for all, we must enforce an ethnostate to first achieve the aforementioned common goal, idea, and national identity. We are all for political discourse, and in fact, we promote it. We believe that no matter how much you may disagree with any form of speech, that if you are truly the "correct" one, then you should be able to out-argue them in an intellectual discussion. With the National Identity Front, our member base generally leans to fiscal conservatism, minimalism in government, market freedom, and, for the most part, social conservatism. However, our biggest focus is bringing the voice back to the people who built the lands in which we stand. It is the people's choice in which direction we take our land, with obviously the help of advice of council. How the Party is structured: President - Supreme Leader Vice Presidents - Djdobish, OnePumpWonder (There will be 2 of these) General Secretaries - iAreJayar (There will be 3 of these) Council Member - TBD (There will be 8 of these) NIF Members - Anyone who wants to help out and support the movement. We are looking for people who are like-minded, and want to help promote this party. If you want to join our party, PM me! Visit our website here: http://nationalidentityfront.co.nf This is a movement, and we need YOUR help to make IdentityRPG a truly great experience. UPDATE: The NIF President, Supreme Leader, is running for office. Show your support!

  23. I am writing to you on this forum to announce to you that I'm running for governor. I'm also asking for the support or consideration from the members of the police force of the great island of identity. I will tell you a little bit about myself and some of my policies and open it up for questions. I will start off by saying I have the utmost respect for the men and women in uniform. My uncle for whom I'm very close to is a police officer and talks about some of the things he has to do/go through. I know that this is going to be in a game but nevertheless your job will not be easy and I understand that. Here's some of the things that I will propose to hopefully make it easier for the officer's on the line of duty. First I will designate a portion of the tax dollars to go to the police force so you guys can have the best equipment and vehicles etc. Maybe 10-20% in that area. The next thing that I will do is set up a bonus program for officers who are doing good and are on the force for a long time. This will be a thank you for your service type of thing. One policy that I want to make clear is that NO and absolutely NO hate crimes towards cops will be tolerated. These will be met with swift justice and may bring with it the ultimate penalty. The same can be said for you guys (the cops) please don't abuse your power which i'm sure you won't. Cops I'm with you all the way and understand that we need you guys. I will personally not ask for escorts from you guys because lets be honest here, you guys probably have a lot of better things to do. As far as training goes and what not I'm not very experienced in that area but I would like to at some point get together experienced instructors to generate a standard operating procedure and training program. This is a way to better you guys and make you the best police force of all the servers on identity. Suggestions/Questions? Please ask and I will try to respond to the best of my ability. Note: Since the game isn't out there is no promises due to the possible limitations that we don't know about yet.
  24. Healthcare- Roger for Governor

    Healthcare is going to be a hot button issue on the island and I believe that it shouldn't be a government issued thing at all. This is going to be a big point of difference between me and the other candidates running for governor. There are many reasons why I feel this way. The first reason would be that the government has a track record of doing a poor job in the healthcare area. If you look at a real life example in Canada you will find huge waiting lists and people actually coming to America for operations and procedures. Another reason for no governmental healthcare is that I don't want the government to be responsible for your life. This may sound harsh but I don't want to take the blame for lives lost due to a failed healthcare policy. The third reason is the cost, the cost of healthcare to the government would be high and the care provided would most likely be lackluster (very generalized). With limiting the cost of healthcare to the government, the government could spend the money elsewhere like businesses for one example. With no government healthcare and leaving it to the private companies this would promote competition (which would drive down costs), and give you better quality care. There will be some money allocated to help private healthcare companies though. It will be small maybe 5% of the money that the government takes in will be allocated towards that. This money will go towards running costs and possibly training of their staff. Questions? Please ask and I will try to respond to the best of my ability. Note: Since the game isn't out there is no promises due to the possible limitations that we don't know about yet.
  25. I have a few ideas for how I will help stimulate the economy of identity. The government will by no means get heavily involved but may offer some benefits to businesses on the great island. Firstly I would withhold all taxes from newly formed businesses for 3 months while they get on their feet. The business tax rate would be around 2-3% very low to promote more business. Next I would start a business incentive program that would reward businesses for doing well and thus helping them expand and create more jobs. Something that i'm very excited about is helping businesses in identity thrive. The major way i'm going to do that is by re-investing most of the tax dollars into businesses to support growth and more jobs. The more jobs people have the more money the government makes thus more money we can invest into businesses around the great Island of Identity. this would benefit everyone a lot. Something that sets me apart from other candidates is that I feel like the government should stay out of healthcare thus decreasing costs to where we can afford these incentives. I will talk about my specific view on healthcare on a later date. This goes along well with my campaign slogan "flexibility that doesn't break your budget". Questions? Please ask and I will try to answer to the best of my abilities. *Note: Since the game isn't out there is no promises due to the possible limitations that we don't know about yet.
