    JUST NOW BREAKING
    MAURICE CLINTON HAS DROPPED FROM THE RACE

    Maurice Clinton of the RADICAL DEMOCRATIC LEFT PARTY (RDLP) has been banned from the forums, meaning she has been dropped from the race. It now appears that for people who hope to have a strong communistic party in charge of the Island will have to look towards Damien Malik of the PEOPLE'S REVOLUTIONARY PARTY (PRP) for that hope to continue.

     

    Maurice Clinton dropped from the race on the same day the polls are closing. Indeed, very interesting.

    So are we talking hired professional assassins here, a gang or what?

    Perhaps all the above, lol. Maybe it's a hangout for burnt out wannabe politicians that couldn't handle the backlash from their running mates, so they dropped out to form a club for other like-minded outcasts. Or maybe it's going to be a coffee shop.......FOR MURDER.

    I Have been involved more within the community and so my ideas are more right than your ideas.

    Please elaborate.

    But, also if it's cocaine, you could put wayyy too much and they'd probably overdose.

    Crush up some ecstasy into their mashed potatoes, and they start taking their clothes off trying to rub on people lolololol. They throw on some rave music and bust out the glow sticks.

    Here is a summary of what was discussed on the Dev stream this Tuesday, remember most of these things are open to changes:

    • Town square will be updated periodically to add/test features.
    •  
    • Housing:  In the game, hotels will be free (they are very small and technically are not yours).  In Town square, all will start with a free, small studio apartment but If you pledged a package with a larger apartment you will receive that apartment, with infinite money to test the customisation.  In Town Square there are not any apartment buildings yet, so all apartments will be in the hotel in the town square ("yes this is weird but its how things will at the the very start").  Upkeep fee for houses will not be too frequent as the devs don't want you to have to log in every week just to keep your house, so monthly payments should do (open to change).  You can buy PC's for your houses and there will be internet cafe's with them in, such as in Town Square (will not be open at first Town Square launch) and the computers can do quite a bit (e.g. surf the web/watch twitch).  Houses/apartments will be separate instances as they are so detailed, loading everyone's apartments by looking in would be far too PC-demanding.  You also can not see the world in real time out of your apartment windows.  Housing isn't like houses in  GTA V in the terms that housing in GTA is useless, whereas in Identity it will have a purpose -  you can store items you collect (such as guns) and extreme customisation/furniture moving will take place.  Your area can also be used as an HQ for good RP.   There may be microtransactions for certain wallpapers/furniture
    •  
    • The Stress System is the games anti-RDM (random deathmatch = randomly killing people for no reason) system.  What happens is everyone has a stress level, and if you stress is low, you take less damage, and high, you take normal damage.  When you pull out a gun, you instantly get high stress, and when one is aimed at you or you are near a fight, your stress will slowly rise.  This helps you to fight back and try and get the advantage on a gunman by using the stress system to your advantage.
    •  
    • Murder will be automatically reported and the murderer will be wanted immediately as the devs said: "the game would become the wild west, which is not the kind of gameplay we want."  Other crimes will need witnesses and a phone call to report.
    •  
    • Health:  In Identity, you do not NEED to eat and drink, but if you do not you will get "de-buffs" such as being slower or worse vision, but you can't actually die from it.  There will be diseases later on (to a small extent) which can spread. 
    •  
    • Medical System/911 EMS: This will have some detail to it, with leg shots being different to arm shots and so each needs different treatment.  People who sign up to be a doctor/paramedic must watch a video showing how to deal with all this (slideshows ect...).   How well a paramedic knows how to deal with different injuries effectively will split the good ones from the bad ones.
    •  
    • There will be certain safe zones where you are safe from getting killed by people (Town Square may be an example).
    •  
    • Certain buildings will have metal detectors that when you walk through, they take your gun, and when you walk back out they give it back to you.
    •  
    • In jobs such as police, you will progress by doing your job and gaining XP to a point where you can choose accept a promotion when you have enough XP.  In community servers, the owners can change the progression system to one where the Chief picks ranks and people manually promote others.
    •  
    • On official servers, you can see floating names above peoples heads.  Community servers can disable this or make it so you have to interact with someone (for example /wave at them) to then recognise them permanently and always see their name.
    •  
    • Server-Size: 300- 500 Players.  It was initially 300, but with SpacialOS, 300 will be easy to achieve so they may boost this up.  All official servers will have the same size in terms of player cap.
    •  
    • There will not be rules such as NLR and RDM on the official servers.
    •  
    • Governors are called that and not mayors as their control will be island-wide and not local.  There will not be lower level power positions to avoid diluting the governor's power.  Governors will have a lot of power as the point of the game is that it is player run, separating it from others.  Governors will not have so much however that they can take away peoples fun.  Governors can change taxes and legality, for example.  Governors can take cuts from taxes to "pad their pockets."   This will mean they can add high taxes if they are corrupt but will likely not be elected again.  Governors and businesses can advertise through billboards, which are automatic and governors can pay with their campaign money, and the more you pay, the more visible to more people your ad is.
    •  
    • Gangs: There will be a gang system, such as making a guild in MMO's.  Gangs will have ranks and even HQ's which can be someone's house where all gang members have access or a shop a gang member owns.  In Town square, there will not be a gang system YET, but there will be a friends contact on your phones and you can easily roleplay your gang, to begin with.  You can have biker gangs, as there are Bikes (such as the ones in the pledges) and leather jackets.  You can put insignias on your clothes to show off your gang.  There won't be designated gang categories, such as Biker gang or Mafia, but you can Roleplay your gang to be any type you want.  There will, however, be areas of the map designed for specific sub-cultures, such as bars that are Biker themed, such as Biker Club Bars.  A player can always buy a bar, make it a Biker Club / Bar and make it the HQ of their Biker Gang, or the same with a Mafia gang, etc...
    •  
    • Gameplay videos have taken so long as they NEED to make a good first impression.  Remember, these videos could cause more harm than good if they are not good enough, as people base their thoughts of the game off first impressions.  Hopefully town square gameplay in quite near future.  Skillform (their flash interface) stopped getting supported so they had to remake a lot of things, which caused a delay.  On the bright side, UI is faster to make with their new system than it was with Skillform.   Town Square has most things operational, they just need good UI and then they can start shooting out constant gameplay videos for us.
    •  
    • Cops: Police can not arrest you unless you have done something wrong, so you have to be guilty to be vulnerable to the police (this will stop abuse).  In the words of the devs, "if a cop is stalking you, run around a corner, get a gun out and shoot him.  He can't follow you if he is dead." :P  Cops have to take people to Jail - Jail will be 45 mins max and there will be things to do in jail (gang stuff, craft shank knives, ect...).  There will be police motorcycles.
    •  
    • You don't need a job to earn money, you can do your own thing, such as get a pickaxe and go to a mine, cut trees and sell wood, pick apples, make drugs, etc...
    •  
    • Weed: CAN be grown in House with hydroponics cable, but this will make very little so only useful for a... personal supply.;)  To make real money, go out to fields or make some in a garden. 
    •  
    • Car Mechanics: Will be realistic, so crashing will have serious impacts on your car.  "Broken wheels will be a big problem at first while people learn to drive safely."
    •  
    • You can own as many vehicles as you have garage space.  You can own multiple garages across the map.
    •  
    • There are systems to check on your companies to see how well it is doing such as on a laptop.  Workers for a company are not paid by salary, but when they do an interaction that would earn money, they get money and the company takes a cut.

    • Plans for other language communities: There will be no official communities outside their own current one as they cant have others managing something with their names on it.  There will be different forums for other languages further down the road and the will have as many languages as possible added later on.  To begin with, only English as they need to make it work well locally first. 

    • Minigames in Town Square:  The devs have stated they are "Working them in as we go".  Checkers and chess weren't originally on the scope for Town square, but they have been "tinkering" with them so it is a likely possibility.  On release, they are most probably going to be a public chess board in Town Square.   Paintball will be added as a minigame later on and will be a Team Deathmatch game with physically accurate paintballs. They hope to possibly add other small minigames (for example snakes and ladders, connect 4?).  Other people can watch the games such as chess from 3rd person to see how the game is going.  There are no rules on the chess board,  as in you can only move a piece here: players are given the board and can do what they want.

    You are awesome! This was actually very helpful as a lot of the time I am unable to watch the stream due to being at work. Keep up the good work. It is really appreciated!

    Thank god I don't have to remember these negative ass comments then, I wont mess with your forum mafia then thanks for the off topic argument it was a pleasure. K bye.

    Do you even know what "off-topic" means? Clearly you don't, because my response was directly related to your pointless ass comment fish boy.

    Defending those who have committed crimes, the police will hate you ;)

    Who has committed a crime? Also, what crime did they commit? I'm seeing a lot of accusations with no real evidence to back it up. Are you just here to try to stir the pot, or do you actually have something worth saying? If not, then move along pal.

    Unified will be dropping out of the race. Good luck to the other candidates.

    That is unfortunate. After speaking with you about your decision and why you chose to drop out, it angers me that it seems certain people can say anything they want without repercussions. I can only hope there are some changes to come and that this isn't the last we have seen from you Mr. Crowley.

    Or perhaps the higher-ups wouldn't be smart enough to have people test their food and criminals like me could get them killed ;)

     

    ROFL at your signature btw.

    Finally someone appreciates the signature! Lol.

    And maybe if you laced the food with drugs, it wouldn't necessarily kill them, but might make them start hallucinating or make their vision messed up. If it's cocaine, it could make their player speed like 2x as fast so they are scurrying around, running into stuff lmao..

    will we be able to make edibles in identity or lace foods with the drugs we make?

    That is an interesting question. That would actually be a pretty neat action to incorporate into the game. Then, certain players that have higher positions in the game might have to have people test their food to see if it has been contaminated. I can just imagine certain players falling ill because there is a large amount of LSD in their black eyed peas lol.

    Im voting Hamilton because I like how much time and effort he put into his party. He even made a website which is unique!

    *Sigh*  You are correct..He did put a lot of time and effort into it, and he did make a website. But.....did you actually vote Hamilton?

    This game has had many delays and I do not think that will change now, so my prediction for March 2018 is the game will not see the light on that date and if it does not be promised. I know that the fans that do not rush the developers will want to lynch me but it does not matter because that does not change the reality of the events. I hope from the bottom of my heart that this is not a scam and that at some point they join to demand their rights as buyers and fervent followers of this project to which we have dedicated time, money and passion. It's okay not to rush it, but I have not seen any real or big progress since the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRNcFpad9hU which was released almost a year ago and we have not been given any real view of Town Square since it is almost one year old at 89% WE HAVE GIVEN TURNS IN CIRCLE.

    I understand what you are saying, but I don't understand why you felt the need to post this. There is almost a new thread created every day saying this exact same thing. I'm not going to "lynch you", but I honestly don't think you have anything to gain making a new topic explaining how this upsets you. I know a lot of people don't feel great about the 1st module release date. I admit, it is farther out than I would like, but I am happy that they at least came through and gave us a solid date to look forward to.

    You know as well as I do, once March 21st comes, and the 1st module is released, none of us will care about this anymore. All of the griping and disappointment will turn into sheer joy when we take our first steps into the Identity world. :)

    I am uncertain, but you can rest assured Unified will always stand by our policies. When we assure you low taxes we mean it. We dont just throw out numbers to obtain votes, we wait until we can confirm facts from developers before we solidify our policies.

    That is understandable, and again, thank you for the response. On another topic, could you tell me how you feel about politicians that switch their views on their own policies mid-campaign? Do you feel it is right for a politician to switch their stance on a topic due to getting negative feedback from the community?

    All of our policies were created with a mixture of both personal views and the views of the public, however, overall, all policies were set in place with the intent of ensuring the happiness and morale of the public. Our party is all about ensuring the island is safe, equal and comfortable for as many citizens as possible, although, I'd be lying if I said we could please everyone.

     

    With numerous suggestions to give more leniency in regards to gun control and firearm ownership, we felt it best to ensure the satisfaction of the public. However, this does not mean that we have just completely ignored our personal views. We have simply given more leniency and expanded our requirements as to who can legally own such firearms. Automatic weaponry will be prohibited, except in the case of authorised members of Law Enforcement such as S.W.A.T..

    We plan on making further statements in the upcoming IPO debate and on our website in the upcoming week, probably after the debate so that visitors to the IPO debate can receive the news first which will hopefully help to bring more people to the debate and give IPO some more attention.

     

    IPO: 

     

    Your reasoning is understandable. While I don't completely agree with your stance on switching policies mid-campaign, I do appreciate you taking the time to explain your reasoning a little better.

    WE HAVE NOW UPDATED OUR POLICY ON FIREARMS & WEAPONRY!

     

    Find out more here: http://hamiltonparty.mozello.co.uk/news/

    I find this interesting. It seems you've changed your stance quite a bit on this issue. Are you at all worried that voters might view this as you being railroaded into changing your policies due to multiple complaints, or will you play this into you being a "Man of the people" angle, and say that you are changing your policy for the greater good of the majority? 

    When you created these policies, you did so for a reason. You believed in them. You believed they would be the safest and most effective guidelines to govern the masses. I'm not sure how I feel about a politician that so willingly changes his view because of the complaints of a few unhappy citizens..

    Because no developer has confirmed exactly what taxes are used for, we havent set a particular rate, HOWEVER, i will NOT be accepting a salary in order to reduce the cost of taxes. Instead, my personal pay as governor will be donated to pay things taxes are used to pay.

    Thank you for the quick response. I have seen a couple of numbers thrown out such as 10% or 12% flat rates. In your opinion, would you say these are realistic expectations, or extreme guesstimates in order to gain votes?

    We believe in flat rate taxes across the board, unlike the majority of our competition that want to increase taxes dramatically dependent on your yearly income.

    Do you have a specific rate in mind? I know a few parties have showed interest in flat rate across the board. I'm just curious what that rate would be.
