Since there are so many of us, I wan to get a feel for what everyone will be doing, I will obviously be doing mafia, but what will everyone else be up to.

I have without a doubt never seen a worse Mafia in Identity. Is this a joke or meant to be serious because I honestly can't tell

Will anyone be RPing a corrupt politician? Or at least one who is open to it? Just wondering everyone's opinion on corruption in general.

On the one hand, this could be really cool, but it might also be abused so it probably wouldn't work to well, terrorist takeovers would be awesome though, such a shame they're not included

True, bad numbers are the one thing that can make even the best server crash and burn, I know from first hand experience.

Lot of potential here, if you rake in some serious RPers then this could really take off

Not to mention jobs like -Chef -Banker (loans etc.) -General Store owner -Taxi Driver All good jobs to consider

Finally some super serious RP with a promising and new idea, I absolutely can't wait for this to become a thing.

Just wondering what crime organizations are based in AUS. The Mariano's are and I'm just wondering about any potential allies/competition out there.

I am with Johnny on this one, I want to eventually live in splendor but I'm going to start out small and build my way up through the course of my RP. It will also be an indicator of power, how new/rich is this guy? Check out his house to find out.

Our organization is AUS based so you can absolutely be involved in that

This was a big problem on Gmod, because without consequence for death, people just put their money in the bank and charge headlong into a gunfight. Apart from ruining immersion, it also makes gunfights way too common and inconsequential. IRL if there was a gunfight, it would be a big deal, because life has meaning, Identity should simulate that as best it can in my opinion.

I think the fact that the game is designed for RP specifically, unlike gmod, will dissuade some would-be trolls. It's a lot easier to troll on a system that's been manipulated, rather than a system that's running as-designed

I was wondering how the addiction system will work? I think a sort of 'addiction bar' should be in place, and if it reaches 0 there are adverse effects, forcing you to frequently indulge your addiction, similar to Fallout. The addiction bar may or may not be visible, if not there would need to be other indications that you are craving whatever you are addicted to, perhaps some sort of screen color change to indicate a pang. Also I was wondering if drugs will be the only thing you can get addicted to, or if alcohol will be included as well.

I am a co-owner of this server with Johnny and I can say, while we have the occasional bad rper or trouble maker, we have a good solid RPer base and some good staff, and don't be put off by the average server because we really strive for serious RP unlike most other servers.

@Syym you're the only person who has even a shred of a proper campaign, you've got my vote, and if you're willing to maybe deal in some illicit deals with our organization, all the better.

I have no doubt that there will be some form of injury system, but I was thinking, what if there was a system wherein, depending on where and how you are injured, you get a corresponding injury, for example, if you are shot in the leg, and must go to a hospital, where they will put a cast on you, give you some crutches and then you have to stay like that for say 2 in-game weeks (realistic times might be a bit too much, given it is a game). And if you are say, gutshot, and you get to hospital in time, you have to stay in a hospital bed for 1 week (same reason as before). Just a thought, might be too hard to do but it would be great if it was.

This is basically what I meant, so yeah, as for hospital stays they would obviously not be too long because that would be really boring, perhaps 1-2 in game days, less even

It's a pretty big difference between making injuries realistic and having no respawn, seriously think your arguments through

Will there be a shaving function, and will hair/beards grow with time or will it just be a set haricut that stays until you change it

I've made a couple of posts here and there, with minor suggestions about the game, pertaining to small additions and functions. I've had multiple people say things along the lines of "The devs don't have time for this" etc. I would like to clarify that obviously, none of my suggestions are demands, and even so, they are just suggestions for after beta, if the devs have extra time, and they see the suggestions page. I've never said that the devs have to include my ideas right now, or at all, so these comments are a little pointless.

Sounds great they should also add wire's that people wear and maybe hidden cameras on the body, for photos on the inside. @Motown @Paratus

Born Paolo "Paulie" Mariano, Paulie Mariano and his older brother Johnny's parents were killed in a car accident when he was 16 years old. After he and his brother killed the man responsible, they eventually had to flee to America. Paulie, after trying and failing to go straight, fell into crime alongside his brother. While even he would admit that he only got into the business because his brother did, no one can deny he had a talent for it. After his distant cousin Nicodemo came over from Sicily to join Johnny and Paulie in business, the two experienced some friction, but ultimately bonded because of their shared blood and talent for the business. A naturally broad shouldered intimidating man, Paulie wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Finding his specialty in extortion, shakedowns and just general intimidation, he quickly established a fearful aura, and was known as a force to be reckoned with. Paulie acts as advisor to Johnny and is frequently tasked with discussing major decisions with Johnny. As the organisation grew in power, Paulie became the right hand to his older brother, and he rose with him, and as the Family split into multiple crews, Paulie took control of the original one. Juggling duties as an enforcer, capo, underboss and consigliere, Paulie always has a lot on his plate but he manages to stay on top of it all. Today, he sits on top of the family, alongside Johnny, as a consultant and enforcer.

that's pretty unrealistic though, you get kneecapped and you're injured until you get to hospital?

No Paulie Mariano is completely fictional, although some inspiration came from Paulie Walnuts, from the sopranos.
