    That's exactly right. So if any of my supporters or people thinking of voting see this please feel free to share ideas with me and I will take them into heavy consideration.

    As for your field of work, I do hope it goes exactly how you want it to go. And who knows, maybe you'll be the top attorney out there. Good luck friend.

    Good luck to you as well with the campaign! And I would suppose working in the DA Office would lead to being apart of the government, so I'd imagine we may run into each other.

    Again, thanks and good luck on the trail!

    No problem. And if you're ever looking for a government job feel free to join my campaign. I'm always looking for new and fresh ideas that could help the Island.

    As of right now, I'm set on a position as a district prosecuting attorney, so the politics will have to wait for now. But regardless, I'm sure you'd be more than happy to hear the voice of every citizen, actively involved in your campaign or just another voter! We all want what's best for the island after all.

    I'm not entirely sure if they've gone and said anything about making new positions in the government. Maybe later on when they see more people in servers and stuff

    Yeah that's what I assumed. I just wanted to check in case I somehow missed something after my tedious combing of the forums. Thanks man!

    I will right away but right now I need to focus on healthcare plans rather then planing for the future I need to make my campaign stronger. Thank you.

    Fully understand. I don't want to put any rush on you as you flesh out your campaign, especially since health care is a vital element to the island. Just meant whenever you get around to answer let us know. Thanks, and good luck!

    True true I will think about it

    Thanks for getting back to me and answering my question. I'd like to know when you have a solid answer, as government corruption could be an issue when mingling with business ventures.

    Anyway, good luck on the campaign trail!

    Question, Mr. Hetch.

    First of all. You seem, as of right now, the most bent on becoming governor, as I've seen you everywhere. I respect this drive and passion towards your goal, and it says a lot regarding your character and ambition.

    My question is this. How do you plan on running a business and the island at the same time. Surely you can see, perhaps, a conflict of interests between the two ventures. While I respect your ambition, I simply fear, as many other voters may, that you may end up using your seat in public office to influence profit of your business. To what security can we have for you to best protect the interests of our citizens, while putting us first and business second?

    Sorry if this was too long by the way. Just want to clear up any concerns I may have. Thanks!

    Very well written post. I wish you an enormous amount of success, and I also can't wait to battle you in the courtroom as a prosecuting attorney. I'm sure we'll find ourselves in a position of intellectual growth as we learn from our experiences and challenges.

    What types of security can you offer a person seeking your services? The costs and risks of using you seem to far outweigh that of the reward. For instance, no matter how tight a plan may be, things go wrong. Even if your plan was followed exactly to the letter, but still failed, would full payment be refunded back to the buyer? Your word doesn't seem strong enough to back up the assurance of success, so some type of business accountability would be nice, as well as professional.

    It would be cool if you could trade stock across servers. So the stock market is larger and much more unpredictable!

    I have no clue about an in game system, but as for individual corporations, I see no reason the CEOs wouldn't accept money in exchange for stock. Whether it's implemented in game or not, it's up to the player heading up the company whether or not they sell stock.

    An interesting concept related to this would be if someone accumulated enough stock in a company to do a hostile take over, if the CEO unwittingly gives over 50% of the company over in stock.

    That's a good question and I hope so!

    I just wanted to bring this point up, as it'd be interesting to see law take shape over the course of history on the island, especially in the case of high profile crimes and criminals being prosecuted. Or in the case of civil law, if a business practice is deemed unethical in a suit.

    Thanks for the response btw! :D

    Nothing in-game will get recorded unless by someone like a judge uses a recording software outside of the game. 

    I don't think I clarified my point. I don't mean recorded as in video taped. I mean documented in the sense that someone in the courtroom or something automated records some type of file, or the judge has to fill something out, about what the case is about, and what the verdict was.

    Hey! I wasn't sure if this would go on this section of the forums, but due to it being about the law, I figured it would be.

    Throughout history, important court cases have been used to set precedent over certain matters (Roe v. Wade, Brown v. Board, etc.). These cases range from civil rights to repeals and revisions on laws deemed unconstitutional. 

    My question is this, and forgive me if it's been asked. Will different court cases be recorded and documented, and allowed to be used in future court cases as precedent to shape our law?

    Thanks! :)

    Hey, I was browsing all the different candidates running for Governor, and I'd like to know a little more. I eventually plan to become involved in the political side of Identity, so I'd like to know with whom I most closely allign myself with.

    Another question I have, which forgive me if it's been answered somewhere, is when the actual election will occur for Governor?

    I, myself, plan on becoming apart of the DA Office as a prosecuting attorney, so it would be helpful to know the politics behind us.

    Thanks! :)

    decent, I'm sure you're skills and knowledge of law in real life will come in handy - there will probably be a lot of people in need of a good lawyer ingame.

    I studied law once but wasn't very good at it, there's so much to memorise - my mate was excellent at it, I just couldn't get my head stuck into all the info, you have to be really passionate about the subject. My class got taken to the courtrooms - it can be edge of your seat stuff from what I heard from other groups - the case my group watched was probably the most ridiculous thing ever in the history of the building, - the most exhilarating part of it was when I realised smuggling Bourbon biscuits in was not a good idea - *CRUNCH* *CRUNCH* *CRUNCH* :ph34r: - but ah well, we picked the wrong room

    Good luck with it anyway! - im half asleep here/had no sleep, so sry for incoherent jubberish 

    It's fine man haha. And yeah, I feel quite strongly about law, and am bound to learn new things, as well as having a good time doing it!

    Also that story is hilarious, I can only imagine how awkward it might have been to hear that in the middle of a silence or someone talking.

    Cool. So if you went for the law career path, which faculty would you rather go for; SWAT, Inspector or Lawyer? - I keep thinking that I'm gonna stay out of trouble but it's an fps right... ^_^

    Definitely lawyer. I'm training in law currently IRL, so it'd be a fun little thing to RP in the game. Also I just find the courtroom exciting, as well as you can work with detectives to help build cases and such.

    And yeah I get what you mean haha. Put a player in a situation with no consequences and a lot of choices, and you'll never know what you're getting :)

    No problem. Are you planning on being a lawyer or something?

    That's the plan! Or at least, the one I currently have in mind. Seems a little different than being a cop, and it's what I'm learning about IRL. Also it'd be fun to perhaps work with detectives and other law enforcement.

    I looked around and couldn't find an answer, but forgive me if I just missed it.

    How will court cases / trials be handled in this game? I read that there will be a player jury which is really neat, but will the other roles be filled by players as well? (Prosecutor, Defense Attorney, Judge, Bailiff, etc.)

    Also will there be civil lawyers for coporations, citizens, etc, aside from just criminal laws? Basically can you sue a company or person?

    Thank you! :)
