    I have a question relating to this. Does kidnapping work with boats as well? If so, can I throttle up the boat and bail out, sending the kidnapped player on a long journey in the boat?

    Don't quote me on it; however I can definatley see this as something that would be implemented, might be wrong! :)

    Communism is the stage that exists directly after Socialism. The majority, if not all, of the nation-states within the planet Earth that had pro-claimed to be "Communist" or "Socialist" were capitalist nation-states undergoing the transition from Capitalism to Socialism.


    You're honestly believing that the production of a symbol that represented Socialism and Communism suggests that the actual stage of Communism has existed within the planet Earth?

    Alright, I'm not in the mood of an argument and your clearly very educated on the topic unlike most of your fellow left-wingers. You are clearly preaching a different type of communism than the one everyone knows as communism.

    One possesses zero evidence to support such a claim considering that "Communism" has NEVER existed within the planet Earth.

    Another individual that produces mediocre claims without any in-depth understanding of the theory... misinterpreting "State-Capitalism" with "Communism".

     

    P.S. I am a Communist majoring in the political sciences within the real world with the intent of functioning as a professor and lawyer.

    Has one analyzed the Communist Manifesto prior to claiming that any of these half-Socialist nation-states were Communist? They were hardly Socialist from the beginning of their revolutions.

    Mass killings occurred under some Communist regimes during the twentieth century. Estimates of the death toll vary widely, depending on the methodology used. Scholarship focuses on the causes of mass killings in single societies, though some claims of common causes for mass killings have been made. Some higher estimates of mass killings include not only mass murders or executions that took place during the elimination of political opponents, civil wars, terror campaigns, and land reforms, but also lives lost due to war, famine, disease, and exhaustion in labor camps. There are scholars who believe that government policies and mistakes in management contributed to these calamities, and, based on that conclusion combine all these deaths under the categories "mass killings", democide, politicide, "classicide", or loosely defined genocide. According to these scholars, the total death toll of the mass killings defined in this way amounts to many tens of millions; however, the validity of this approach is questioned by other scholars. In his summary of the estimates in the Black Book of Communism, Martin Malia suggested a death toll of between 85 and 100 million people.[1]

    As of 2011, academic consensus has not been achieved on causes of large scale killings by states, including by states governed by communists. In particular, the number of comparative studies suggesting causes is limited. The highest death tolls that have been documented in communist states occurred in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, in the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong, and in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. The estimates of the number of non-combatants killed by these three regimes alone range from a low of 21 million to a high of 70 million.[2][dubious  discuss] There have also been killings on a smaller scale in North Korea, Vietnam, 

    You don't need a majors degree to look that up on wikipedia. 

    Also "Protect the working-class from capitalism"?? Nowhere near as many people die as a result of capitalism rather than communism.

    It shall be my pleasure to announce that Damien Malik of The People's Revolutionary Party shall continue to support the working-class citizens of Identity Island against the threat of capitalism and fascism.

    I'm sure your ingame views are purley RP, but the working-class are the ones who suffer and starve to death with communism too.

    If I am walking down the street with 250 bucks on me and a pistol which costs 200 dollars to buy and I get killed.....The person who killed me will be able to take my cash and my gun. That's 450 bucks that I am ass out of, working a job  making 20 bucks an hour that is 22 1/2 hours of work that I have to do just to regain what I lost. 45 minutes in jail? So gun play being a "major part" of the game as is doing the menial tasks it takes to keep the game running by the average player. I hope the time one receives for their crime, such as murder,  will make it difficult for said player to continue very long just being an all out prick to those who choose to play the game straight up and earn a living. 

    Couldn't have said it better! I am planning on being on the other side of the law, however it wouldn't even feel like a punishment or feel like I'm taking a risk if all I'm going to get locked up for is 45 minutes, It would definatley encourage more people to turn to legal means of making money if prison sentences were longer!

    Everything else other than these two are ok, but these two will just cause people to post pointless stuff/ spam to get such things and so it is not worth the trouble to add as the title you get right now goes up after certain post amounts.

    Also no, you are wrong about linking the forum account. It is down to post count when you hit 10 posts you get citizen.

    Sound, yea I just assumed because after linking my account, it said citizen.

    But there already is "rewards". Making posts grants you status from Immigrant to Citizen etc etc and having your posts liked grants you status such as Opportunist etc etc. Also another reward for having all your liked posts count for that day, winning that day. Those are the ones that I am aware of anyway.

    I'm pretty sure you get Citizen from linking your forum to account profile, may be wrong.


  9. So I used the search feature, and to my surprise, nobody has suggested this yet. I think it would be cool to incorporate a sort of rewards system to the forum, l listed some Ideas below for achievements, lemme know what you think below!

    Paddy- Log into the forum on St. Patrick's day.

    Pumpkin Lover- Log into the forum on Halloween.

    Festive Spirit- Log into the forum on Christmas.

    Serial Poster- Post 1000 Posts to the forum.

    Master Poster- Post 5000 Posts  to the forum.

    these are just some suggestions, I'm sure you will be able to come up with better ones in the replies!

    Had a little time to play with my Flag Generator program, came up with something which resembles the surrounding states.

    Style of Alabama, Colors of Georgia (Orange is used because it is so rare in modern flags), and the Sun represents ex igne "born of fire."  An alt-history island of this magnitude would probably have volcanic origins. :)

    Looks great!

    "powerful criminals" will most probably get banned because of mass rdm. easy enough, sunshine?

    who said anything about mass RDM, just because you are a serial killer don't mean your gonna mass RDM, I wasnt even talking about serial killer gangs I was replying to NEGAN saying they would get backhanded by the law, your first response looked like it was worded by a 12 year old Chinese kid who barely speaks a word of English, so you can forget the sarcastic remark at the end...
