3 pointsHi everybody! I have been following Identity for quite some time but recently I decided to become a citizen. From what has been shown to us about the game it is bound to be epic! The "room" video was awesome and I cant wait to be able to play the modules. So, I am 32 years old, living in Sweden. Working with safety and security in real life so I might be a police officer of some sort in Identity, many people seems to want to be criminals so watch out See you guys around!

3 pointsSo it occurred to me while watching a video about the overview of Identity. At the timestamp 8:43 the video shows a player out in the woods shooting a deer ( https://youtu.be/ZQeuc7fAYyQ?t=523 ), that meaning that hunting is an available option as a hobby to the players making me think that they might need to acquire the proper licenses and tags in order to hunt said animals. The Idea: Now in real life there are Officers who are in charge of checking these licenses and stopping illegal hunters or poachers, etc., these officers are called Conservation Officers, or Game Wardens. So my idea basically is that players who choose to join the Law Enforcement can also choose whether they want to work in the city as a patrol officer or out in the backwoods as a Game Warden. Although if they do, the player will have to become familiar with the local wildlife as well as the rules that the governor (or server admins) put in place for hunting. As well they will have to become familiar with what licenses people must have on them when they are out hunting or fishing. Background: Wardens have the utmost authority when it comes to what happens in the woods. For example, if you are out fishing a Warden can come along and ask you for your license, or if you are driving and he suspects that you just got back from fishing he can check your license and your catch, all of course without having to have a search warrant on you. A better example is that if you are out hunting, even if you are on your own private property, a Warden can enter without a warrant solely because they believe that what you are doing could possibly be illegal. It's also prominent that if the Warden believes that you have been 'baiting' an animal (Putting out food to attract the animal for an easier hunt) you can be fined and even jailed, as well as in a worst case scenario, asked to forfeit over all your hunting gear including your gun. A Warden can do all of this because if you are out hunting or fishing, you are doing so to animals that 'belong to the state'. Sure it sounds a bit totalitarian, but it is the truth, and if you don't have the proper papers to do these things then you can get into deep trouble. Gameplay: Gameplay wise I believe that Game Wardens will make it more difficult for those who are driving around out in the woods trying to smuggle drugs or what have you, simply because the whole excuse of "We were just out hunting," won't fly very well if they don't have their licenses, or if the guns that they own aren't the correct ones for the animal that they are hunting. Now I recognize that this may seem a bit extreme for a game like Identity, and we don't even know if hunting will be an in-depth thing, or even if there will be licenses for such things as hunting or fishing. But it's just an idea. (If you notice any grammatical errors do message me about them and I will try and change them as soon as I can! Thank you.) (If you'd like to read up on them yourselves here's a few links: http://www.gamewardenedu.org/what-is-a-game-warden/ , http://blogs.findlaw.com/blotter/2014/08/do-game-wardens-have-the-same-powers-as-police-officers.html) Plus I mean who wouldn't want to drive around in a badass truck Also even at that, they don't just use trucks, they also have access to boats, ATV's, and even horses! Update: So I finally went on twitter and grabbed this map and after observing for approximately, ten minutes or so, I have come to the conclusion that we might need more than a few offroad trucks. I see a Marsh and that tells me it's airboat time and I see a mountain and that means it's snowmobile time! But more importantly, I see that there is quite a 'few' bits of woodland here, as well as quite a 'bit' of water, leading me further to my conclusion that a Park Ranger or a Conservation officer may be of some use to keep the island of Identity safe! Also, on a side note as a far more personal opinion, this island looks awesome. Credit where credit is due, this looks great!

3 pointsHere is my 2 cents on how I think the Cops and Robbers system should work. Step 1:Me and my friend are heading out for some scenes of nature, in the middle of the forest we get into a argument and I "accidentally" shot him with my hunting rifle. Step 2: A: There was a witness or B: Someone found the body. C: I get away with this. A: Witness calls it in and gives a description of me to the police, they scramble to the location and start searching for me. [Cops see a icon or something telling them I may match the description (if correct description was entered into police computer, a new case is created)), am not busted yet am a suspect and are being detained at gun point suspect of murder..] Meanwhile evidence is being collected, or blundered away, depending on skills \ experience of the CSI guy\ Cop. B: The body was found but there are no witnesses, cops check the footage of "security camera (CCTV) from the victims address to the location of the body. They match my photo to the one from a traffic light and I become wanted [Last seen with Watru on Main Street driving east]. Step 3: Body found or Witness called: Cops collect evidence at the crime scene, this will not stay in the world for ever but as long as the body dose ofc.They found a empty cartage, and its matched to my gun I am now wanted. "security camera (CCTV) from the victims address to the location and so on. This is just a example the point am trying to make is that it was way harder for me to get away with the crime then it was for the cop to figure out if I did it or not. And that being said we both had to work for it. Step 4: A am beeing charged with the crime or B: Am beeing let go for lack of evidence. Also if you want to try to talk your way out of go for it. Now this apply to other things as well e.g: running a red light (Picture is taken) you do that a couple of times. A warrant is issued for your arrest, if your driving a stolen car a description of the serial red light driver is posted. And cops can see that they may match a description (if they checked the today's unknown wanted felons list before leaving the station). Now if you have a career in murder then after a while you probably wont leave so much evidence around. (Maybe i moved the body, or picked up the empty cartrage.) And if you are a experienced cop you probably better at finding the evidence that is left behind. (Maybe a fingerprint was found on the body, cop finds blood in my trunk from moving of the body) Hope you guys see where am going with this. Thanks for reading. Cheers Watru

2 pointsA New age of Crime is upon us..... With Crime Families growing and falling a spot is going to need to be filled... Welcome To the Red Dragon Brotherhood (紅龍兄弟會) My name is Tom Chen, While being born and bred in Hong Kong, when was just 13, My parents and 7-year-old brother were at our home eating dinner when three men walked in and killed my father in cold blood, They Proceeded to rape my mother while my brother fucking watched, Those fucks then burned it down when my brother and mother were still alive. Triads.... Fucking Triads. They killed them. After being homeless for some time staying away from them, as I was just a loose end. I started selling myself and other unspeakable things Just to fill my stomach. I finally got on a shipping boat and made my way to America. After landing in the Los Angles I got into trouble and had to start taking hits on some old people for fucking insurance scams. What were only a few years felt like decades During this time I Dropped the Hong Kong accent and proceeded to get higher and higher up in the LA crime hierarchy. At this time I bought myself a blue Evo X and ran a street racing crew. We ruled Those fucking streets. But it wasn't for long... After my conviction for drug trafficking, I only had 5 years because of a bribe with the judge. The prison was a whole new world. lucky I met some associates and we had each others back. years after I was told by some of the gang members to go to a town in the midwest called RockFord Hills. Walking out of that prison was a Fucking relief. I walked over to the 7/11 and grabbed the pay phone and dialed one of my buddies who didn't get caught, My Evo... Still sitting in his garage how I left it Damn it was a relief to see that blue car. I started her up and oh... That feeling felt so good to hear her rumble again. I had a beer with him and I jumped into my Evo, spun the tired and started heading to Rockford. When I got there it was a whole new place. Years later my past caught up with me and my brothers were murdered and I was Only to escape with only one thousand dollars to my name and a motorcycle.

2 points" From the shoes on your feet to the sofa under your seat, almost everything in Identity is built and crafted by other players. Manufacturing corporations give their employees access to a wider variety of constructables and resources, for a cut of the profits. " People need boxes to move things in and out XD, if its not in the game, then me and my officers will make a smooth transition of the buisness

2 pointsI suggested a box factory and I made my own. if its not in the game then il change

2 pointsYou aren't going to get many good answers here. Everybody is going to say that their own gang is the most powerful, the largest, and the most infamous. @IDEN would answer that his crime family is the best, just like I would say that mine is the best. There are more than a few 'organisations' on here which are downright idiotic and have no real plans, but I won't name names because all that would do is start an argument. In other words, do your own research and reach your own conclusion, because everybody here is 100% biased.

2 pointsWell the main goal would to not completely take out taxes but lower them for a more economic focused community. Where there is no lower class only middle and upper. The healthcare system has been something I've been working on steadily to try and make happen but I can see that I've made a mistake by offering it. Mainly because the tax revenue would be cut nearly 90% so I would have trouble balancing it out. I've been asked about this and criticized for this many times. In the past four years from 2012 to 2016 the number of gun store robberies show a 22% jump in theft. Meaning that if there isn't a regulation on who can have them and who can't they'll just steal the guns anyways. Banning it would cause a revolt as he said mainly because people don't like it when their free will is tampered with. They want the freedom to do what they want. Think of it more as a reward system. If you're an upstanding citizen than you should be able to get guns. But if you've committed crimes you will be told you cannot have them. The underground sale of munitions is something I'm fully aware of if I try and pass this law. There's always going to be people making shortcuts to get weapons and I understand that. But my goal is to make the city safe rather than making it a utopia. I hope I answered all of your questions appropriately and tried to answer as many as possible. Thank you for your time everybody.

2 pointsWould definitely serve me and my club a purpose. Would absolutely love it if they had these types of housing in game.

2 pointsThe amount of grammatical errors this kid has regurgitated makes me sorry for future generations. I can't wait to hear the crying that comes when they (he or she) do not pass the test for becoming a police officer, or when they get banned from every single server because they are so immature. So @thecop34 i suggest you go play gmod with the rest of the children and leave the adults alone before you get put in your place. Also, good luck during training. I seriously hope you can grow up very soon.

2 pointsYesterday afternoon, for another Identity Insider, we've released a video detailing the workings of player housing in Identity and what it has to offer at our present point in development. This gives you a good idea of the level of fidelity we're going for in all of our key systems, and more videos will follow as we continue. Housing was chosen for our first video as our initial focus in development is for features present in the upcoming Town Square module. If you haven't already seen the video, check it out above. Housing as you've seen in the video is an excellent place to hang out with friends, but it has a lot of good practical uses, too! First, housing is the primary storage location for items you've collected. Whether it's a bookshelf full of books, a gun-rack with wall-mounted guns, or a crate full of junk, it's sort of like a bank for tangible stuff. Housing is also valuable for moderate crafting, too. Some advanced recipes might require a factory, but a lot of stuff can be created at your home using special crafting tables. A hydroponics table can even be used to grow small-scale plants, legal or otherwise!

2 pointsThe way we plan to handle something like this, is to offer a park ranger spawn location for police officers in Identity, somewhere remote, and out in the woods. When they spawn, they will by default, be wearing park ranger clothing, and have access to park ranger vehicles. If they really wanted too, they could take this gear and drive all the way to the city and do their normal patrol in park ranger assets, but the important thing to note is that the two roles are merged into the law enforcement career for easier access.

1 pointHey fellow Law Enforcers With this topic I'd like to inform and assist you in understanding and creating a police department. It's important that departments are organised and have a structure to ensure officers are appointed to tasks and supervisors ensure tasks are completed. While rank structure is an important part of your department, it's also important to have a good divisional structure. Hopefully at the end of the text you're a bit wiser on how a police department works. We'll start of with Police Ranks. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Hierarchy Staff Officers Chief Of Police - In charge of the department and handles public relations with other departments aswell as controls internal procedures and protocolsDeputy Assistant Chief Of Police - In charge of the department when the Chief of Police is on absence Deputy Chief of Police - In charge of a large part of the department, known as an Office. Example: Office of Operations or Office of Counter Terrorism Command Officers Commander - In charge of a training within the department. Example: Sergeant In Training or Detective In Training Captain - In charge of a precinct or leads all patrols within a certain area and acts as a supervisor to supervisors. Lieutenant - In charge of a larger division and serves as city wide/ patrol wide supervisor. Supervisor Sergeant - In charge of smaller divisions or head of certain aspects within divisions. Alse the first contact point for basic officers Senior Lead Officer - A non commissioned officer who is in training to become either a supervisor or detective.. Investigator Detective In Charge - In charge of a investigation division and will handle day to day requests from lower ranked Detectives. Also in charge of casefiles. Detective - Basic detective who investigates crimes after they happened and observes organised crimes Senior Lead Officer - A non commissioned officer who is in training to become either a supervisor or detective. Non Commissioned Officers Police Officer III - Patrol officer who teaches the new officers the way around the department. Police Officer II - Basic Patrol officer who makes up most of the department. Police Officer I - Newly inducted Police Officers who are in their probationary stage and learn the way of the department. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Hierarcy With the previous mentioned hierarcy the base of your department should be filled. However it is always possible to adjust the ranks towards the need of your department. For example you can create a Senior Sergeant who would be a basic sergeant, but in training to become a Lieutenant. Another example is a Lieutenant I and Lieutenant II. Where the I would ensure larger divisions are kept under control the Lieutenant II would handle a precinct or multiple patrols. Ranks also work hand in had with your organisation. For example if you have 7 divisions it might be wise to have 7 lieutenants or a few lieutenants of the bigger divisions and sergeants of the smaller divisions. It's important to know your department, because some divisions will require more intense handeling than others. Warrants and searches require more knowledge of the penal code and law than a traffic division. For that reason it's better to have a Lieutenant handle the Investigation divisions and a Sergeant the Traffic Division. The higher the rank the more legal and situational knowledge a person must have. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Organization Chart _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Organization Know your department and its needs! It's very important to ensure your department has a wide arrangement of divisions people can join so their day to day tasks are never the same and never boring. A good structure is most needed in the department and every part of it has a person controlling it. Divisions by Sergeants, Large divisions by Lieutenants, Precincts by Captains, Offices by Deputy Chiefs and at the top the Chief of Police. The way a good structure works if that a basic officer will not have to complain to the Chief of Police. If he has a problem he should go to his appointed sergeant. If he can not solve it, the sergeant goes to his superior and so on. Because there are limited amounts of divisions in an Office there will be a good overview of them all. It's important that the division leader reports to the Office leader and the Office leader to the Chief of Police. Ensure to give your Deputy Chief of Police enough power to change his Office by only having to inform the Chief of Police with the changes. This way there is more control and better support for every division and they will know who too contact when there is a problem. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ GENERAL NOTICE: If you have comments or have questions about a certain aspect within the police department, you can always ask it here. I'll try to give a good answer to every question asked. Obviously if your question is important, it will also be added in the topic along with the explanation. If you have certain subjects to add aswell you can always PM me and it will be added into the topic along with credits too your name. This topic is aimed to give a detailed guide on how to make or understand a police department and hopefully the community works with eachother to give tips to other servers. Sorry for possible writing errors

1 point@QuannTann, I really like this idea, I'll forward this over to Motown and see what he thinks!

1 pointHello reader, Before giving off my own ideas, I got inspiration off of @Herzog and his idea of a comic con. Please show him some love if you find this a good thing or just want to see this implemented. So, I have an idea that involved large scale events. I was thinking that there could be a feature where you can buy land, and then build on that land. People would be able to build a stage or make a large building that would include things like a Comic-Con or some big social gathering where a lot (and I mean a lot, hundreds, and maybe even thousands) of people will be able to go to that one place and be with people that share those interests on a large scale. For example, I am the manager of a band and I want to hold a concert. I would be able to buy off a piece of land and build a stage and sell tickets for the band. I know this is very ambitious but this could be a big part of the game that would help bring the community together. ~Dickbutt

1 pointPerma death is an option for private server owners to choose from. Also you can rp as a serial killer either way, just make a pattern for your kills. You will probably be able to rp it yes, but not obviously in big chunks. @HairyGrenade give your opinion on this please.

1 pointAs we all know the aim for this game is strict roleplay, and it is to be played similar to real life. However, my main concern is as like everyone mentions. RDM, lack of RP, and also the inability to get everyone on board with the concept. When I play this game, I want to escape the bs that occurred in life mods. Being that I want to have my character a police officer, I don't want to have the fear of getting killed every second of everyday for no reason. Let me explain what I think RDM is. RDM is pretty much killing without roleplay. An example of this would be: I'm responding to a call and a random car just blocks the road before i can do or say anything, i'm killed. I'm pretty certain that i can say for others we want to model real life in this game, so what can we do to stop this? strict rules? i know every server will handle this differently, but before the release can we get together and actually agree to just RP like we are meant to, and if you want to kill on top of kill, guys there are plenty of great games out there. lastly, lets leave on a proper kill situation: lets say we have two gangs, gang A and gang B. a Member of Gang B walks into claimed territory of Gang A and is warned by the members of gang A that they need to leave, if he doesn't then yeah a shootout can happen. That's one of many situations that can happen civ vs civ. Police vs civ is no different. As a cop, yeah it can be annoying getting killed but the reality is when you stop someone there's always risk. Id love to see a foot pursuit that turns into a shootout, that's great and that's roleplay. we don't know if we have the ability to shoot from car windows or not but if I approach a car and the guy is a known criminal, sure shoot me when i approach, but let the roleplay at least begin. things like that happen, maybe not a lot, but it should work the same in game. My judgement for RDM is based off of real life, If certain things happen in real life (like mentioned above) then sure let it happen in game. but not all of the time because it doesn't happen all of the time in real life. Argument: No one can say this isn't real life because the goal is to model it, so sorry try again. But lets have a conversation about this, agree or disagree lets contribute our thoughts.

1 pointThe 1cop2civ ratio wouldn't work since this isn't DarkRP, there needs to be around 20 employees per business. There also needs to be significantly more normal citizens than business owners so that the clothing stores have people to sell for, security services have people to protect etc. while also keeping a decent amount of cops and criminals.

1 pointHey! Your RP idea sounds really intriguing, and I really hope you can pull it off in game! It will add an interesting dynamic to a server, that much is certain. Do remember though, make them fear you! Killing in the street isn't scary in a video game so you'll need to find some way to make this role the terrifying experience its meant to be. Maybe rob another crime lord, then waste away all his money on senseless things in order to show him just how little his work matters. In any case, good luck and good night!

1 pointThat's not quite what he meant by that description. In Identity, committing a crime flags you in such a manner that a police officer can charge you with a crime. If you run a red light, you're not immediately charged with the crime; however, if an officer sees you run the red light he can pull you over and will have the ability to charge you with that crime. This mechanic keeps police from being abusive and charging for crimes which you did not commit. That said some major crimes may charge you automatically, but that can be controlled by the server operator/community. This is how it'll be done on the official servers to prevent griefing. There are times where gameplay in a multiplayer environment can't be exactly realistic to maintain it's fun for both parties. More "hardcore" communities may wish to adjust these rules, and they can.

1 pointIf you play on a official server, it could be realistic to make money but easier than a private server and so no you don't have the character on the official server for every server because a community server is "PRIVATE", I must emphasise the word as because that will give the answer to you. On the other hand, you can have the character on one official, which is linked to all official servers and so you can go to different official servers. So sadly no movement from one private server to another. Edit: This could be wrong, and could be changed and so no certainty behind my answer(s).

1 pointAt this time you cannot build custom structures on land. There is land for farming, as well as pre-existing homes and buildings which can be owned and operated, but we don't allow building permanent structures for performance reasons. When you want a lag-free experience with a lot of players, that's something that survival games suffer for. That said, if you want to put on a concert you can rent a concert hall. You'll get the option of choosing the theme for the event which will configure the art of the interior. The concert halls even have a stage which amplifies volume of instruments, as well as microphones for singing or speaking. You can use these for all sorts of things.

1 pointSo i was sat here thinking of jobs that id like my character to do if i get bored of my current job and park ranger came to mind. We know that there will be hunting and forested areas so id like to know if the devs have any plans of including park rangers in the game. I can think of a few jobs that will be involved with this career but the main one being cutting down on illegal hunting. Im guessing, just like real life, you will need a licence to hunt. This may cause some people to not bother with getting their licence and hunting illegally which will mean that there will have to be someone to stop them. Now i know that there are coppers to stop crime but i think it will be more immersive to include rangers only in the forested areas. Not sheriffs, not cops but rangers and again only in forested areas or maybe include national parks or certain areas where hunting is illegal overall. Ive been blabbering on but id like to see this in game as i would like to see my character as a park ranger after his time as a street racer. P.S something i forgot to mention is that the rangers can also work alongside the fire and rescue teams that work in the forested areas to put out forest fires.

1 pointWill anyone be RPing a corrupt politician? Or at least one who is open to it? Just wondering everyone's opinion on corruption in general.

1 pointHey everyone, I'm Brendan, I'm currently a senior in high school taking a programming class and 3D modeling course with high hopes to go into the gaming industry in the future. I've been gaming ever since I was about 5 or 6. I've always loved video games and the world that it put you in. By the age of 13 I bought my first PC and gamed on it for about 2 years, After working part-time I save up money and built my new Gaming PC which is what I use now. After switching to PC I will never go back to consoles! Once I built that computer I installed all my software for 3D modeling and have been creating different projects to store in a portfolios for future job applications, by late 2016 I hope to apply for an internship at Gearbox Software (Creators of Borderlands) to improve my knowledge of the gaming industry. Thanks for checking out my introduction and I hope to see you guys around!
