All of what you said is absolutely outrageous. In the time I've come back you have done nothing but whine and complain and try and smear my campaign in front of everybody. While I have no problem with the opposing sex or anybody that decides they want to be whatever they choose you both took it to some other level. "Don't assume a persons gender." This is when I take this out of RP, this is the Internet. A place where I have absolutely no idea who you are, what you do or what you look like. @Preston_bodhi_343 And @Calisto are about the most sensible people on here. You made a website for a campaign for a game? Why? I'd like to know why you can't keep it here on the site for everyone to see? I certainly do and the only public backlash I've had was from you trying to prove something that isn't true. I'm sorry for being rude, but you are one of the most unfit people I have ever seen run for a political position. My views are based from people I know in real life. Lawyers, Canidates for Mayor and citizens that have been around far longer than you and I combined. So far you call me unprofessional when you tried to make a smear campaign about me. Then tried to instigate a fight by using what I said out of context. Let me run a scenario by you. A cop walks into an old fashioned Italian restaurant because his old friend Sal works there. Sal is part of the mob and everybody knows it. But the cop really loves the old fashioned food that is served there and he misses his friend and wants to check in on him. Does that make him a crooked cop? A corrupt cop? A bad cop? No, it makes him a human being expressing a common interest in another human. When we decide we don't have the decency to stop and ask somebody how they're doing or that we're happy they're still around that's when humanity has lost touch with itself. Gene Smith for Governor

"I see that you're supporting criminal organisations now?" This is what you said to me. If that's not assuming than I've been lied to my whole life. And all I can see from you is that you're acting passive aggressive to try and prove a point, of what I'm unsure. But rest assured I am no part of criminal activity, and I would appreciate if you would stop trying to cause trouble specifically for me. The first day I came back you jumped into my thread and started telling me I wasn't going to win and that I needed a website and now you say I'm unprofessional. At one point I was one of the top candidates for the position, actually going to people and asking for votes and learning from mistakes. As for "You really messed up" no I didn't. I meant what I said because apart from what @Frank and @Calico have said in the past they are also part of what I like to call the Eldest. They've both been here for a long time and that was purely me showing appreciation on their behalf because believe it or not I'm a roleplayer first. Im not upset I'm more or less disappointed in your attempts to garner a negative response from me. Next time make a point please, so far you've only called me unprofessional and started assuming what I'm doing. Good day.

Assume what you'd like. Everybody knows assuming makes an ass out of you and me. Frank Luprano is one of the oldest members on the forums as am I (just not on this account) most of the original members are no longer active and don't get on. Simply paying respects to the originals. Not if you'd kindly, stop trying to make problems.

The more the merrier my friend. But The Chairman is made for people who respect themselves. Clean up, act professional and don't throw a fit when we limit your alcohol intake. But the more money you make the more likely you are to receive a complimentary golden watch.

I think was Lucious is saying, he'd rather people be protected all the time rather than be in a situation and not have protection. Correct me if I'm wrong Lucious

Thank you Lucky

Possibly soon. Considering things are moving faster than they ever have in the past few years I would estimate maybe within the next few months. If not by January then by Spring for sure. Depending on how far along the progress is.

I want to make yet another post disclosing all of my personal and political views that way there are no in answered questions. Same Sex Marriage: I believe that love is a stronger bond than any other bond a human can have. That's why we cry when somebody that we love gets hurt. So if you find love no matter who it may be, please express yourself to that person. Taxes: I actually had a conversation with @Calico some time ago about how these taxes would work. He was also one of the main people to debate my healthcare act and eventually change my views on it. Taxing will be split into brackets of income. Lower, Middle and Upper Class Citizens will pay according to their annual income. I want fairness in the economy and no outcries. And if I see taxes need to be raised I'll try and work around it. Healthcare: As I said this was debated and I originally decided that free healthcare was the best course of action I could take. But with the taxes I set in place it would be extremely hard to maintain a good healthcare system based off of those taxes. So while you'll have to pay for it, it shouldn't be too much. Gun Control: I'll say this simple thing that hopefully get the point across. "A drivers license works in every state, so it's common sense that a concealed carry permit should work in every state. If we can do that for driving-which is a privilege, not a right- then surly we can do that for concealed carry which is a right, not a privilege." Drug and Substance Control: This would be a hard question to answer simply because every server is different. We have different people doing different things at different times. I'm not aiming to make The Island a Utopian Community but a cleaner community. The Island's own version of the DEA will be handling most of that. Owned Businesses: Many other candidates stated that they will give up their businesses if elected and I can only follow in that example. It's only fair that I do so to simply make more time in focusing on the community. Player Owned Business: I had a question asked about a year ago I believe, they asked if I was going to allow investment take place for small businesses. And while I don't think this is something I fully control I would allow it only if the owners were willing to open their shares to the public. I really do hope that answered most of the questions. I'm basing these on memory and I'm sure there will be more questions at some point. But until then I'm Gene Smith, thank you all for reading.

Correct I am. And please for anybody that views the Dark City topic pay no mind. I'm just having a slight bit of fun over there. Good to see you Lucious.

Glad to see the Orginal Family still gaining members.

That's what private servers are for. - Cops have something to do -Government officials base what laws get approved around these crimes. -And making people pay more money for something like that would definitely make people not want to play the game. -And we just have to assume the community managers issue a ban and not implement something this drastic.

It's also a good thing to mention Biker Clothes have been shown and I'm sure they'd create more as the game progresses. Plan what you have seen, not what you think you'll see. It's easier that way (Not directed towards you Narc)

Hello, I'm Gene Smith. I was actually wondering if you wouldn't mind checking out my first few posts of my initial campaign announcement and the replies I gave to the community about it. That should give a pretty good understanding where I stand on the graph. Thank you very much - Gene Smith

With a pipe in his mouth reading business papers the calm seductive nature of The Chairman envelopes him in comfort. But that unfortunately wasn't to last. A local businessman rushed into the booth and sits across from Gene. "Hello Martin, what can I do for you?" "I need you to hear me out Gene. This could make you millions of dollars." "I'm in the business of making money. I've told you this before." Gene takes another puff of his pipe before looking up at Martin. "You shouldn't barge into my lounge like this." "Listen to me Gene!" Martin quickly pulls out a pistol and aims it at Gene. Looking unamused Gene chuckles before going back to reading. "The safeties still on. And do you plan to shoot me?" "I was thinking about it." "That's the problem with you Martin. A businessman doesn't think about what he's going to do. In this line of work we take risks, it's what we do." Don't fuck with me Gene!" Gene grabs the gun and smashes Martins face against the table. "Don't you ever come into my club with that kind of attitude!" Gene's hair became unkempt, a strand hanging in front of his face and veins buldge from his neck. "Get him out of my club... NOW!"

Well I'll always need a campaign manager.

My views on taxing were answered last year or earlier this year I can't remember. And I'm not able to telepathically read minds so it's kind of difficult to know what they identify as. I've also answered some of the LGBTQ questions but none like this. First off, a website won't be necessary for this. I believe everything that needs to be said and represented can be said here on this site. Same Sex Marriage I'm not against. If two people have a mutual understanding for one another than by all means be in love. Gender Equality: I'm not sure if you mean the same type of Gender Equality that Feminism is trying to achieve. That being slurs against males and treating the opposite gender as if it doesn't matter. That I'm against. But if women want to be treated like men then I'm for it, everyone deserves a chance. Employment Equality: I don't base who and who doesn't get jobs based on their gender. I base it on their experience with politics, economics and different fields pertaining to that. Transitioning: Go for it. Be who you wanna be, just don't be rude about it. Also, going to what you said about my campaign. I don't believe LGBTQ and Immigration are important topics to discuss. I've already spoken with people about Gun Control, Taxing, Drug Enforcement and Healthcare. Simply because I don't bring topics up doesn't mean I won't talk about them. If people are willing to bring the topic up I'm open for discussion.

Rest assured I meant no disrespect to what gender you are. I've also talked with Lucious long before my campaign took off. As I said I will not be criminally involved. Does this mean you want run as a campaign manager? Or something other?

I feel as if I didn't go in depth as to why I'm not leading a life of crime. In my absence I have been part of many different RP communities. Western, Real Life and Fourm just like this one. You have your regulars like criminals. But the thing that always felt amiss was actual government officials or simply law abiding citizens. While exhausting all options of a criminal life in separate RP's I realized the most fun that I had was starting from nothing. Working my way up in the world to become known. Become respected and known as the man who helped the people, not killed them. With these simple thoughts I turned my RP experience completely around and assured myself that this is something I want to do. With the people of Identity standing tall on their beliefs and views I believe that I can help cater a perfect place to live for them. If there are any questions please ask. You all know I'm always up for answers.

My past statements were very much that of poor judgment. A lack of character and confidence I suppose. My views are strictly legal and while the criminal aspect of life is always there, I want to prove that I'm far from it. You by no means have to trust a single word I say. But the past is behind us. I've made mistakes, I've said things that I didn't mean. But being governor is something I feel I was meant to do. My supporters and followers and the citizens who posed questions about what my campaign is about. I very much want to at least debate a case of why I'm still eligible. Even if I only win you both over, that's still a start. Thank you very much gentlemen.

People of Identity. My views for political standpoints have not changed. I am still the same man who wants to have taxing depend on your income. Gun laws decided by the criminals. I'm coming back. And I'm still running for Governor. It's good to be back.
