Hello reader, Before giving off my own ideas, I got inspiration off of @Herzog and his idea of a comic con. Please show him some love if you find this a good thing or just want to see this implemented. So, I have an idea that involved large scale events. I was thinking that there could be a feature where you can buy land, and then build on that land. People would be able to build a stage or make a large building that would include things like a Comic-Con or some big social gathering where a lot (and I mean a lot, hundreds, and maybe even thousands) of people will be able to go to that one place and be with people that share those interests on a large scale. For example, I am the manager of a band and I want to hold a concert. I would be able to buy off a piece of land and build a stage and sell tickets for the band. I know this is very ambitious but this could be a big part of the game that would help bring the community together. ~Dickbutt

That's not quite what he meant by that description. In Identity, committing a crime flags you in such a manner that a police officer can charge you with a crime. If you run a red light, you're not immediately charged with the crime; however, if an officer sees you run the red light he can pull you over and will have the ability to charge you with that crime. This mechanic keeps police from being abusive and charging for crimes which you did not commit. That said some major crimes may charge you automatically, but that can be controlled by the server operator/community. This is how it'll be done on the official servers to prevent griefing. There are times where gameplay in a multiplayer environment can't be exactly realistic to maintain it's fun for both parties. More "hardcore" communities may wish to adjust these rules, and they can.

COULD WE HIT 300 VIEWS

As it stands already, we do have advertising systems for politicians running for office but it's restricted to billboards. I like the idea of advertising on public televisions or cinema, and implementation would be easy, but we'll have to think it over and consider all the angles. So, maybe!

I'm an Independant Contractor and I transport anything, anywhere at anytime. No Questions Asked. Introduction I go by Zeus and I'm a transporter. As a transporter my job is to meet up with you to discuss pay and the package(s), once all of that has been arranged and agreed upon I will then take or go to pick up the package and deliver it or drop it off. I transport anything, anywhere at anytime and the best part about all of this is that I don't only take legal goods I also take illegal goods including; guns, ammo, cars, people (dead or alive), drugs, cop clothes, etc... As an independant contractor I will do one job at a time for you as I will have other customers. Also, if I do alot of jobs for you don't see me as a friend or an ally as I'm a working man and do this for the money. If someone asks me to kidnap or kill you I won't hesitate to do it. Services I'm a transporter who transports legal and illegal goods quickly and safely but I also kidnap, rob, blackmail and kill people for the right price. Alot of potential customers reading this may be wondering why they should use me instead of a hitman or one of their own and to you all I have to say is I do my job and I do my job better than anyone else. I'm trained in 4 different martial arts, I can use various weapons, shoot any gun precisely and drive better than anyone on the island. I almost forgot to mention the most important part. If you are robbing a bank, store or people I can be your driver as long as you pay me in advanced. The 3 Rules Rule Number 1: Don't change the deal. Rule Number 2: No Names. I work by aliases or nicknames. Rule Number 3: Never make a promise you can't keep. Payment You pay me in advance if I'm delivering anything but if you are asking me to kidnap, blackmail or kill someone I will take 50% before I start the job and the other 50% after. Not paying won't benefit you in anyway, trust me. Prices Rates will change when I know how well the economy is and how much jobs pay. Delivering Items (Legal) -High Valued Paintings $1,200 -Electronics $800 -Cars $2000 Delivering Items (Illegal) -Stolen Cars $1,200 -People $1,500 -Drugs $3,000 -Guns $5,000 -Ammo $500 Kidnapping Rates: -Men $2,500 -Women $3,000 -CEOs $15,000 -Gangs/Mobs/Yakuza $50,000 Assassination Rates: -Men $10,000 -Women $12,000 -Gangs/Mobs/Yakuza $50,000 per member -Politicians $150,000 -Governor XXX-XXX-XXX Blackmail Rates: -Men $2,500 -Women $2,500 -Gangs/Mobs/Yakuza $60,000 Stalking Rates: -$2,000 a day My Other Service

Hi everyone I'm Kore just made my account here. Not sure what I plan to do in game but I plan to be on the legal side. Would like to join a group thou. I can make a discord server for us if need be. Not really interested in the biggest group in game but maybe a newer group that way there is room to expand. The other game I am waiting for is Star Citizen and on that game I am in a org (125 members) that does transport and I lead one of the departments. I think in a game like this you will ultimately have 3 groups household, friends and coworkers unlike other games. One of my goals in game will be to have a house and if I find more people to join I'd be willing to upgrade my account. By April we should see how this all turns out hopefully sooner.

I believe it was confirmed that corporations could purchase places to act as just that.

Am new here Kore invited me.

age 27 Kore told me to make an account here.

Should of put this in the role play section.

Agreed @DLimit, you also could get extra money for the hostages

Will it be possible to frame your Criminal and Political Rivals in the game. Also cops that are getting to close or People who are not paying you what you are due. For instance you kill someone. When you know your target is asleep or alone and then plant the gun on them later. Give the police a tip after the deed is done then watch the fun.

Mhmmmmmmmmmmm

First off my point is that a crime should work how it is in real life if your careful and take your time and are not noticed it should not just be auto detected by the game for the police. It should have to be discovered or witnessed by a real person or a cop. Sorry that realism is a problem for you. and your right they won't stay idle which is why i said i will kill them to remove that problem. Because hostages in game won't act like real ones. Also was why i had a backup plan of letting my own people out to flank the robbers or just have people wait around corner. So thank you for proving my point on why you need to murder all the hostages because they will not sit idle like real ones.

Not to add fire to this thread but I wonder if it'll be possible to rob delivery drivers before they get to/enter the apartment?

Like I said this could change

LET HIT THE 250 VIEWS!

At this time you cannot build custom structures on land. There is land for farming, as well as pre-existing homes and buildings which can be owned and operated, but we don't allow building permanent structures for performance reasons. When you want a lag-free experience with a lot of players, that's something that survival games suffer for. That said, if you want to put on a concert you can rent a concert hall. You'll get the option of choosing the theme for the event which will configure the art of the interior. The concert halls even have a stage which amplifies volume of instruments, as well as microphones for singing or speaking. You can use these for all sorts of things.

First off, no. I do not intend on running for office. I am providing a party for people who do intend on running for office, who want something unique. Something that stands out, that one grape in a bunch of blackberries. The Peoples Party (TPP) isn't your standard party. Our policies differ from most as you, the people arent our main priority. Do we want you to be happy? Yes, but we would rather ensure everyone is educated and employed before that. You may be wondering why I would say this, and the truth is that I actually care about the success of this island. I'm not gonna sit back and blow smoke up your backsides to get votes, I strive to make my candidates succeed through the truth, not a pretty face. Taxes For some odd reason every party wants to reduce taxes. I am one of the only people to actually want the opposite; to increase them. Now, I know what your thinking. Why would anyone want less money? Well, I intend on using your money to make your life easier. I will take a % of your income which varies depending on your salary. Now yes, it will be alot but hear me out. This % will cover many thing such as free public transport for employed individuals, free legal consultation and most importantly a free healthcare system. If you invest alot into small companies and/or charity you are eligible to file for a tax return at the end of a year, giving you back some momey for your comtribution to society. This tax will also cover any emergency service operative 3 days of food every week. Below is the taxes for salaries. $9,999 > = 7.5% Tax $10,000 - $19,999 = 25% Tax (Potential of 10% tax return) $20,000 - $39,999 = 35% Tax (Potential 20% tax returns) $40,000 - $99,999 = 45% Tax (Potential 35% tax returns) $100,000 < = 50% Tax (Potential 45% tax returns) On top of this, if you own a business then no matter how much you are making, there is a fixed 30% tax rate on your profits (after employee payroll). On any products there is a 7.5% sales tax in VAT. I also plan on removing sales tax during the month of December, and a 50% tax reduction on anyone earning less than $20,000 during the same month. Goals One of our main goals is to introduce committees that anyone in the community can volunteer for. This gives the power to the people, allowing them to voice their opinions and put forward their own ideas to be implemented. We will also have committees dedicated to communicating with prisoners and helping them to prevent themselves from reoffending. I do also want to put in place a programme in which convicts and people who cannot get employment after 2 real weeks can do community service and delivery jobs for me and earn enough to keep them alive. As far as law enforcement goes, I plan to use those taxes to reduce crime rates significantly, giving police and other emergency services a larger yet more controlled budget. Regular patrols will occur, and you should never expect a precinct to have a slow work day. I am open to more ideas but until the game comes out this is all I've got.

It is inevitable. No matter how much we complain and no matter how many restrictions they put in place, we need to come to the realisation that children (immature ones in particular) are going to get their hands on this game. Kids who treat this game like GTA or COD. It is going to happen no matter what precautions we take. I would like to discuss possible ways that we, as a community can come together and instead of prevention, we need to decide how to deal with the issues. I recommend that we act mature. If a kid is mass RDMing, don't kick and scream, don't act like a kid in OOC, just ignore them. I know it will be hard, but it is the only way we can discourage kids from playing like that. Kids are apart of the community, and while we would all rather not have them here, its not something we can control. If a kid is RDMing, run and hide and quietly report it on the forums. Act like you arent even annoyed, like you just want to report it incase it happens again. They commit these actions for an equal and opposite reaction, we dont want to give them the reactions that entice them to commit the atupid actions. Can we as a community agree to treat these situations calmly? Let me know your thoughts below.

I think it would be cool to have a way for content creators to use in-game currency to purchase television, radio or billboard time/space to promote their youtube or twitch channels. I would suggest an in-game threshold of achievements or experience to allow players to spend in-game currency to submit specifically geared advertisements to be used in-game. Maybe requiring the video ad to be recorded using in-game footage or audio recordings or billboards that would all require mod/admin approval. Games have always done better than expected when a live streaming or youtube community is supporting it, on top of the support they already have. Allowing dedicated players to earn their right to show the community their content would encourage more creators to use the game for even more future content. The only issues would be the potential for the "youtube" effect where over time real advertisers begin mucking up the lighthearted point of promoting the games own community. This would probably fare well for the dev team and could help expand the game even more, but is just something that could happen if the game impresses the amount of people a game like this should. Another issue would be larger youtubers from doing the same thing, but in the long run it would help the community more. I'm just rambling by this point. Just my suggestion, not something that I have thought about too deeply or would feel inclined to press the idea. Just a random idea I thought would be neat, to go along with the already shown TV system.

I think a shoutbox would be good. Put a 3 minute message cooldown on it though. I recently made a post that shouldn't be a post as its very short, so a shoutbox would be good for this kind of stuff.

Haha yea, imagine all the cops trying to catch you desperately without any success. Also undercover cops are confirmd to not be in the game.

Holy shit, graffiti is an amazing idea. Don't know how hard this would be to implement tho.

Welcome to the Community! Identity could always use more experienced law enforcement individuals! I hope you enjoy your time here and look forward to perhaps meeting you some day in-game :-)

@Topshotz357 Too spooky for me

I'm pretty sure there is something like fingerprints, so if you don't use mask or gloves the cops can find your fingerprints

Wrong. As some others have been saying, its been stated multiple times that the value of the dollar will be nearly the same as it is in real life.

The sum up of gaming nowadays

Nice

Its very hard to get, but no no one will be homeless on start. Those with out the apartment tier pledges will get to stay at a hotel in their chosen starting city for a certain amount of time, which means you need to start earning money quick and not be lazy. once the time is up, you get kicked out/ or you pay for the room. (its free in the time limit)

Thanks for clearing some things up for me.

So you want permanent death by what this post is about and from this quoted reply to a guy, you sound like a troll who wants to kill people just to make them lose everything.

The way courtcases work in real life is that all illegally obtained and evidence that comes forward from the prior illegally obtained is scratched from records. For example if a phone tap uncovers that you don't only do drugs but also do weapons all evidence obtained about weapon trafficing would be scratched. However that does not mean you can't get charged for drugs trafficing with other evidence. when it comes to probable cause, I feel like officers should indeed only be allowed to frisk with probable cause but also with reasonable suspicion. Things such as reasonable suspicion go pretty far. For example, if a person is a known and active member of a criminal drug trafficing gang and lollygagging on a corner you can search him since it's pretty clear he's corner selling. I feel like there should be clear indications when it comes to searches and will probably be different from server to server. TLDR: I support both probable cause and reasonable suspicion but the second one should be limited to certain clauses

Bem vindo a comunidade maninho ;), Espero te ver no jogo

welp, it's still funny to watch 12 year olds rage in a forum

I did you started posting nuts and bias people as your sources and have not show a single fact from a respected source this entire talk. Or even replied to the facts i posted. The only thing you have proven from the comments show far is that you think Trump who has no medical or political experience is somehow notable.

Well first off i am form Canada so my health care is great like in most first world countries. Second america could easily afford to fund a great health care program within there current budget but they overspend on military matter by a lot to the point that even the generals are asking they to stop buying tanks. That is been a ongoing issue for a long time now. They spend 569 billion a year on it and the next leading county is china at 190 billion so yeah that is not even funny they could easily slash the budget a bit and do a two teir system like in the uk. Now i notice you have a lot of thought on the matter but would you like to discuss facts like how in america under there pay for health care system people who need treatment are put in crippling debt because of the lack of coverage. Cause at least with any wounds you try to inflict i can get them fixed free of charge.

Hello and Welcome to the identity community! Please feel free to use the resources on this forum/ website to gather information on the game. If you have not found something within the resources, please don't hesitate to ask as everyone here is happy to help! Cheerio!

Does anybody know when the price changes and what it will be when it does? I can't buy it right now because I have to buy Christmas presents for my friends and siblings, I'm just afraid the price will go way up by the time I can buy it. thanks for the help (in advance)

Hello @Windzy, There will be systems in place to prevent/punish these actions. Obviously you can't prevent everything, but the developers will do everything they can to ensure that this will happen as little as possible. Next time, please use the search function in the top right before asking a question as a lot of questions have been answered already. Thanks!

So my question is why are we still talking about this if the devs have said multiple times they will not allow this.........

All I get from you is, "I'm okay with government robbing 30% or 60% of my hard earned money every month if they give me shit that will be worth my 30/60% of my monthly labor".. You don't sound like a businessman to me. If you're rich business man, you'd know that government is not your friend. They will steal your money for shit that they either can't deliver or won't be worth the tax money, if you're poor and lazy then fine. Let the market do the job, fuck the political parties, you said yourself that they're a turn off.

Dear Dragon123, in response to your application, you are hired as Truck Driver. If the game comes out we will make a contract of you as employee of our company. what generally is in the contract is your salary, how much hours you must work in game and the Terms of Service. What also in the contract is that you have a probationary period of one week (real life) which means that you can take dismissal for any reason. But we can also fire you for any reason in the probationary period. Thank you for your response on this job offer. Rick Anderson Founder/CEO Discovery Logistics Inc.

I think running a backwoods still for moonshine in a stream somewhere in the back woods could be another great illegal activity to do. if alcohol consumption is going to be part of the game it's could be a good moneymaker. plus more drunk drivers another thing for cops to look out for on the streets.

Agreed. Not really trying to see youtube and twitch ads all over the city.

I think this is a pretty cool idea. I would love to have a big car show on a plot of land where everyone could show of their cars, and your idea would totally work! Keep it up!

No worries, I haven't gone through applications in like the past two months I'll go through them today.

Good luck
