possibly, but don't quote me although then again it wouldn't be fair on business owners because everyone would just rob them or attempt to

fictional films aren't real life, i'm not stopping you chasing an ambition, albeit pointless and unrealistic but nevertheless an ambition, meanwhile when i become Governor i'll be taking this seriously and actually keeping everyone looked after

6 hours ago, Mr-X said:Hi Friends! Im Mr.X and im running for Governor of this fine town. Iv worked several years for my cousin GOLDIE WILSON's campaign for Hill Valley from 1985-2016. I also helped finance a small Paranormal investigation company called GHOSTBUSTERS with Dr. Ray Stantz, and private funding for time travel/exploration science with Dr. Emett Brown. I want low taxes for all, a city free of crime and homelessness, and a fair city that is big on jobs for women and minorities. Progress Is my middle name, that is my promise to you
So vote for me! the peoples choice
No offense but you don't come across as being serious, this is based on real life so ghost busters and back to the future wouldn't make sense, secondly you haven't gone into any detail as to how you aim to get low taxes or wiping out crime and homelessness etc, if you're going to run for Governor at least actually try and present a thorough plan, don't take this as an insult but it's a life simulator, try and be realistic

B. Shut up and let them fail on their own. I actually think there is a market for this idea and it has a decent chance of succeeding (not that I would ever use their services)
C. It's a role-playing game, with an emphasis on role play. If they want to be "professional criminals" who are you to say they can't?
D. Do you know how many CEO's would love to have a gang of hardened criminals subservient to them? Probably most of the ones on this site (though they'll never admit it)
A. Even so you still need to find said people but i do partially agree.
B. I got no qualms with people trying and failing/succeeding just trying to give some Friendly advice even if it comes off as brusque.
C. As stated above I'm only trying to give some advice, in no way am i insinuating that people shouldn't be allowed to play how they want so I apologize on that regard.
D. To be honest I have no idea but I'd have to say a fair few

Okay first of all, how many people do you think are going to be millionaires? Not a lot I can tell you so you're already setting your expectations too high, secondly the corrupted things you're offering to do either as part of the job or if people refuse you won't be tolerated by any Governor with decency, thirdly don't promise high payment in any business unless you know you can afford to, again you're not going to get a lot of clientele due to the fact out of every 300 People maybe 5 might be able to afford your services, I'm not bashing you personally but if you want to make money then be realistic

It isn't due to the rivals that I face but more so that I have other passions in mind that I want to take up. I don't want to make mistakes as a governor so I am dropping out. I want to thank every person that has supported me.
i'm sorry to hear that Gene, you had a good campaign going for you and i believe you had a pretty good chance of winning the election.
with that said i wish you all the best in your future endeavours and who knows, maybe i'll stop by the club and buy us both a drink sometime

The person who i spoke to don't know if there will be other options to pay with before the pledges change, but it is possible. He did not say it won't happen. Please read more carefully. The guy I spoke to is not the guy who sorts that stuff out and so he really don't know, but keep in mind that it may do or not.
i sincerely apologize if I've caused offense, you're a very helpful community member no doubt about that, i've seen you on the forums a lot i just assumed you were close knit with devs is all

to be honest people should only be playing identity if they're going to take it seriously, it's a life simulator and in real life you don't just go gangbanging random people, only kind of people who kill for no reason are messed up lunatics in which case you sure as hell wouldn't be playing an online game

that's what i want from this game, a mature community of people playing together and working with each other not hur der dur im gonna shoot you for the lulz, by all means shoot another player if they interfere with your motives and whatnot but don't be an asshole

47 minutes ago, JamesLuck01 said:Well as I didn't know how quick a response would be, so I asked and they just told me that they can't be certain but it could be possible that the alternate payment methods could come before the release.
the thing you guys have to remember is that the devs can't help certain countries blocking paypal, they use paypal because it's direct and secure, using just a debit or credit card is direct too can be more easily intercepted than paypal.
- you guys are doing a great job with identity, i wish everyone could have easy access to pledging but these things do happen and it is out of your control so to speak, obviously there may be other options of payment but as you say James it's unlikely that one will appear anytime soon.
other than that keep up the good work you're doing

On 2/12/2017 at 7:18 PM, Jakeimpregnator said:My top 5 biggest annoyances in any multilayer role play game.
The Russian - people who do a bad Russian accent to seem more menacing.
The mute - people who have no mic in 2017, but there character 'has no voice anyway' so it's alright. (How many people have you EVER met that are mute)
The mass murderer / hardened military person - the guy who goes round killing everyone, then tries to role play it out, because they think it's fun to ruin everyone else's experience. These people are always dripping in camo clothing and have had world class gun training (how realistic).
The drug dealer - fair enough, these role play games are generally based around drug smuggling and making money illigally (I think identity is no exception) but this character is always VERY overplayed. I've never, EVER met a drug dealer IRL, but hey, maybe I live on the nice side of town?
God mode - the players who turn every situation around (using role play, usually text chat) to benefit their own character. These people never seem to die or get injured because they always have a trick up there sleeve like "picks lock and escapes unharmed". Personally, if the interaction is fun / funny / interesting, and I end up dieing to good role play, it's more fun than surviving through shoddy workarounds.
On the whole, these games or servers are normally ruined by people with a lack of imagination. Poor imagination is ok! But using poor role play on top of that becomes very frustrating for other people. That's why I like role play on Twitch, it's not that server rules protect from bad experiences, it's that the level of quality role play is much higher because there is an audience.
I'm not salty, im just bored of seeing huge potential ruined by unrealistic encounters and interactions.
Discuss?
i can do a pretty accurate Russian accent, it's just hard to keep it going consistently

4 minutes ago, Arky said:I'm pretty sure how it'll work is Asylum will email you a specific code with your pledge contents in it.
so i assume said code will be used on steam to download the game which will include all pledged items.
-
can somebody clarify for me, I've pledged $500 dollars or whatever the equivalent is in the UK towards identity, does that mean my copy of identity is paid for and if so how will steam recognize I've pledged and pre-purchased the game?
thanks in advance

They like your post if you give quality answers, if they like what you said in general and maybe if you just add to the contribution. Don't ask directly for people to like your posts, but instead say "Please leave a like if I have answered a question, or helped in anyway."
thank you for clarifying this for me, I've left a like as you've helped me
-
hello fair people, just a quick question i'm not sure if it should be in the general section so i apologize in advance.
what does members reputation do and can someone provide me with a rough list of how many posts you need to contribute to/ create to increase it and what the threshold is i.e 20 posts= 5 reputation.
thanks in advance for any answers

i don't know exactly what'll be on there but it'll be realistic to hell so i can imagine you'd be able to download some good social apps and other kinds of things

i guess a massive drug deal could warrant swat but eh

31 minutes ago, GeneSmith said:When are you going to make your campaign post?
Id like to know your stance on
Guns
Gay Marriage
Drugs
and I'd also like to know what you'd do to get our economy stable and avoid any and all inflation to the economy.
What are your stances on taxes and property taxes.
That's a very good question.
My campaign post has already been made, you can find it within the politics page and gives a good idea about my Government.
To reiterate my stances though, guns I'll keep limited to the police and can be purchased by citizens but only with a license and for hunting purposes.
Gay marriage I'll allow as I see no problem with people being allowed to choose who they want to spend their life with.
Drugs are a self explanatory answer, but for all intents and purposes I will have most of them banned, marijuana is an exception but only for medical reasons.
The economy and keeping things smooth, taxes and property taxes come into that because it'll go towards the government funds, jobs will be created by the necessities I.e police force, medical profession and sub categories within each and any other industry, but also jobs that require natural resources which in turn will provide the economy with a constant cycle.
For inflation my Government will use taxpayers money to feed back into the economy which as stated above on top of other factors will give the economy a continuous cycle
As for my stance on taxes they won't be massively high but somewhere in a reasonable level that citizens can afford .
Should you have any other questions feel free to ask, I hope this satisfies you and thank you for taking the time and your interest.
