Hello to all of you at the Police Precinct! I wanted to stop by and quickly introduce myself to you. My name is Bobby Cruz and I am running for Governor. Law enforcement is one of the most important aspects of our society and is the key to it running smoothly and safely. I want you to know that I appreciate what each and every one of you do on a daily basis for our community. I would love your input on how our campaign can improve in supporting you. Here are some questions I'd like to pose to all of you: What percentage of tax do you feel is sufficient for you to run an efficient, quality and successful police force? and What kind of gun control laws would you like to see implemented in our society that would best decrease the amount of violent crime? Thank you all for your time! Please feel free to visit my campaign home, linked below, and ask me any questions! All the best, Bobby Cruz

I'll have to set it up tomorrow, in the meantime I think more candidates should get on board with this idea. I'll send a link when it's set up

My goal/role will be the world of crime selling weed/cocaine to feed my busy and crazy lifestyle and I will also have my wing men on-board the operation. It's a crazy world out there so you have to defend yourself at all costs. Legal stuff will happen within my group but mainly illegal. Can't wait for the heists, the robberies, the police chases and escaping from jail

Hello all of the Identity police community, my name is Ken I spent five years as a military police officer and would love to assist here. I have read many of you're posts over the past few days and seen many questions I could assist with along with the real life aspect. Tactical movements, communications, FPO (Force Protection Operations) and then yeah then general policing the everyday citizen. Myself and my girlfriend (Ayala) are both on the forums so feel free to contact either one of us. Hoo Yah

Hey, look! And Overused title! Anyway, I am Jacob, I am an aussie, I like video games and I love the sound and look of identity. Theres not much to know about me. I look forward to meeting you guys.

I really think there should be vaporizers (vape pens) in the game. Let me know what you think!

Hello all. As a potential future Governor, I thought it would be a great idea for all of the candidates get together in a group chat somewhere and discuss some political guidelines that we will all follow. Things like no false promises, etc. essentially just some guidelines that we all have to follow in order to be classed as an eligible candidate. In America you have to be an american born citizen and over 18 I believe, and while I know these don't apply here its the same concept. These guidelines can be ignored but it will seriously hinder your chances of becoming Governor. I also want to discuss certain laws. We should decide a set of laws that cannot be changed, for example murder. If you win the election, you must enforce these laws. So for example having a 30% tax wouldn't be one because each Governor can decide what they think will suit the economy, but things like theft should never be allowed no matter who is in charge. Again, you can change these set laws but we as candidates will do everything we can to ensure you only win if you follow these laws and guidelines. We won't include any that there is conflict on, for example maybe 3/10 people don't agree with you having to keep your promises, so that wouldn't be included. Once we have completed these lists and conflicts, I will make a post outlining everything for the citizens so that they know if we are breaking the standards. Let me know who would like to participate in this group discussion and when you are available to do so. Thanks, ~ Joel.

Alrighty guys until we get more people involved I think it would be easiest to do it on the forums in a private group chat, however if and when more candidates start to get involved we may need to move to Teamspeak or Discord or something of the like. Ill add you fellows soon, thank you for your interest.

People who make businesses and do good to the island deserve to be powerful. Public Services should be limited to encourage people to work.

Yeah but then the game don't get bogged with servers customised and then ruining the game as most players go for the most custom server.

Here's a screenshot from my community's Discord about this. I'd just like to say, you guys should make sure to keep the game in a community-centered direction. It's the communities that empower games like Arma III and Garry's Mod to RP! You gotta go towards being more open-ended if you want community competition to nourish the game. My advice! And by the way, I'd just like to say, I'm very disappointed the host will be forced. If you're going to restrict the host, consider making a deal with http://nfoservers.com, at least they aren't as sh**y as 100% of the other forced Arma hosts for gamemodes like Samatra's KOTH, lol. Thanks for listening, devs.

Sporan, thank you for the warm welcome and kind words! Please take your time to think and discuss with your colleagues about taxes. I understand that this is an extremely important decision and I want to make sure that, if elected, our police force is being funded correctly. I agree with your opinion on guns. Guns will be difficult to obtain and those who do will have to undergo strict background checks, intensive training programs as well as psychiatric analyses. However, it will not be impossible, and those who wish to own a gun will be able to as long as they are willing to go through the process. Again, if you or anyone else have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! All the best, Bobby Cruz

I don't really give a fuck, kid. Why in the world would you speak on our behalf? You don't know us, and we sure as hell ain't friends. How about you work on your company's thread instead of trying to hook us up with a date, okay?

@TheoGT 1. I am not sure about what animals we will be able to see however I know a couple which have been mentioned or most likely going to be in the game. Dog, and Cat. (Pets) A general animal I think/ sure has been mentioned, a crocodile, sharks (not too sure and I can't remember but I am sure you will be able to see fish underwater because you can go exploring underwater ruins/ caves. 2. I am sure that you will be able to drive all boats but nothing has been confirmed, we do not have any info regarding how many types of yachts there are but we know that there will be a variety of "Boats" in general. (I do not have a clue on the rest of the question) 3. No Coastguard I believe however I guess you can drown but I have no other info regarding the rest. 4. There will be a variety of small - big houses on the map and I believe the total of houses target is 300 on the map. (It could be changed, since it was pretty early on in the development when they gave the answer being 300) 5. No, No one can enter your house without your permission, this includes that Police cannot raid your home! This being said "If you are wanted, you cannot enter your home to evade them". 6. I don't know about mirrors but you can roll down your windows on the car. I don't know about some of this e.g. parking sensors. However I think manual will work by you hitting keys to change gear/ or if you have a gear stick with a steering wheel or just the one thing then you will use that. 7. Trains will be on the map and if you notice, Public transport is a big thing for the game as it is a lot of Interaction and one of the biggest things in real life. 8. If you noticed in one of the concept pictures shown it showed a ski resort, but I know that sports won't be a profession but this is to arrive after release as a update, I am not sure however what snow sports will be in the game and also snow is only going to be in certain areas. 9. Well you said it yourself, and I would guess that is what the answer would be from the devs but I have no clue. (Ps: I didn't answer before because I saw the post Early in the morning and then forgot about it.) sorry, normally i would be on top of it to give answers straight away.) Regards, James.

Welcome to the family Luca.

@Homicyd I am just a community member who loves what I do (Helping Others)! @Kickapoo Why is it that people repeat something even though I say I am not that. @Homicyd @Jackabm @LionKingGamer I actually don't think he means me but he generally means everyone.

There should be life insurance so if you die, you get a small amount of money put into your bank. Or if someone crashes into your car and it is proven either by police or witness, the insurance company can pay for damages. It can also be a job to ditect insurance fraud. There should also be a system where if you need to claim money often, your insurance may make you leave them. (To stop people scamming the system).

I Luca Rossio, pledge my loyalty to the Luprano Family.

Welcome from Australia.

Welcome!

Keys has officially launched its public website. A forums for staff of Keys will be up and running soon, but for now you can look at the public page. We will be adding showcases of designs to it eventually when there is enough. You can access it here. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the following link into your search bar: http://www.joelkeys.site/

Hello Mr. Cruz! First of all I just want to extend a warm welcome to you, and express my appreciation for reaching out to the boys in blue. I would have to further consider the taxes question and get back to you later, however I believe that gun laws should require a citizen to go through strict background checks and gun training / safety training so that we can assure the safety of those on the streets and in our homes. I do believe that citizens should be allowed access to guns, as at times it will be their only line of defense. Thanks again for reaching out and good luck on the trail!

Welcome to the game and community! I'm sure with that positive attitude and overall friendliness you'll be at the top of the political ladder in no time! But that doesn't mean you won't have to work for it, lots of competition out there! Good luck!

You're very right. The American, Canadian, German, French and Russian policies aren't the same as what we can make them. That's the exciting part about it. We make the rules and how our world works. I'm excited to make them with all of you. Very good point.

Dear mr. Keys, An interesting website, thank you for sharing. I do have a quick question however. I read the following on your webpage: Am I correct to understand you are putting out a threat against your patrons for a crime they have yet to commit? Kind regards, Barry L. Crow

Might I add to this discussion that the 2nd Amendment is part of American law and as such in no way a template, or interference, with our law. I fail to see how the example made by mr. Padrinho holds any credibility.

Dear Mr Harrybert, I have a few questions concerning your political program: - When you speak of higher tax, can you be more specific? Do you have numbers? Will there be a difference between low-, mid-, and high income? - Liberation of the market: does this include healthcare? - Legalization of drugs: including drugs such as methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin? - When you speak of 'no more surveillance than needed', what in your opinion is a 'needed' level of surveillance ? Kindest regards, Barry L. Crow

Greetings my fellow citizens of identity! I have to open the discussion regarding the layout of the political system in identity, as reading through the forum posts I can't seem to find answers to my question of "How individuals participate in the political process". Will individuals be elected to stand for a political party like we do in the US? i.e. primaries and debates? So players can join together to create an official party (for example the Democrats and Republicans) and meet to create policies to then present in the election? Or will everyone be standing as independents in attempts to run as Governor? I'm rather curious, as if the party system is the direction it would most certainly make for an exciting political process! Regards, Cameron! Hope to see you all in game soon!!!!

Thank you for the welcome! I look forward most to working my way up to a comforable way of life and meeting new people! My goal is to climb the political ladder and make a real impact in my community. Thanks again!

Hello O'le chap and Welcome to the identity community! What do you look forward to most about Identity? What are your goals in Identity? Please read the 2 FAQ's which are linked in my signature. Please feel free to use the resources on this forum/ website to gather information on the game. If you have not found something within the resources, please don't hesitate to ask as everyone here is happy to help! Cheerio!

Looking good @JoelKeys

Thank you kind sir!

Hey Kracken! Welcome to the Identity community! People like yourself with experience in law enforcement will be a healthy benefit to the police career in this game. We hope we'll receive your approval by hopefully doing a good job representing law enforcement in Identity!

I can't wait either man shit is going to be crazy and epic! Think I'm going to own a coffee shop but Amsterdam style

i might be a part time cop, and if i am ime going to take you down . lol

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!! Hope to see you guys soon when the game is released :)! PS: Sporan what will your role be in the game?

Diseases that can be treated and cured would be sweet. What would be sweet also would be the ability for server Admin's to start their own epidemic and perhaps an established Disease Research Department could attempt to find a cure before everyone becomes infected.

Welcome and greetings to our dutch neighbours from germany

Welkom

Official servers, you will have a choice to either respawn at your last bind location (apartment etc.) or wait for a paramedic to arrive to revive you. However private server owners will be able to change this and make everyone to have 3 lives before a permanent death for the character, or they could just make it so you have 1 life and it is a permanent death when you die for that character.

My goal as of right now for this game is to marry or basically be family with a mafia don or something so I can be part of the crime world possibly without doing much crime myself because honestly I bet I would be terrible at it. But yeah my best qualities are that I firmly believe in snitches get stitches and I'd be glad to be the face of a business for money laundering or distracting the police or anything like that. Hmu if you're interested

Hello there! My name is James, also know as Spank (among many other names). I have been gaming since i was a kid, from the nostalgic SNES all the way up to PC. I am a member of Gaming-Asylum, which is Asylum Entertainments Altis Life mission for ArmA 3. I have been a member of their community since Christmas 2013. I am also an Administrator there, which i have held since roughly April of 2014. Other than Gaming-Asylum, my past community history as well as Admin positions would have been in BF2 (PC), and BF3 (X360). Being mechanically minded since i was a kid, I am man of many talents but a master of none. Born and raised in Alaska where I work in aviation as a mechanic. I also hold a private pilot license, which i hope to continue to commercial. Other hobbies would have to be hunting, fishing, cars, firearms, & planes. I am a pretty laid back guy, i like to make jokes and am all for friendly ribbing. If you're upfront and honest with me, i will be straight forward with you. If you need help or have any questions, you can reach me here through PM. Or on Gaming-Asylum, which i have linked in my name above.

Hia! Katie here, name also being, well Katie. I learned about Identity from one of my friends and decided that I would love to help out, which is why I'm here now! I mostly play League of Legends in my free time, but I expand my pool of gaming. Right now I'm in Queen's University in Kingston studying Biology, which is not the easiest thing in the world to do. If you ever want to play a game or two of something, feel free to shoot me a message and I'll add you on whatever. I just hope everyone has a good time!

Howdy! My name is Josh, but when it comes to gaming, I am more famously known as Killswitch. I have been playing video games ever since I was a young. I originated from console gaming, went to PC, back to console, then back to the PC master race after college. I dabble in all sorts of games but find the MMORPGs, MOBAs, and FPS games to be the most entertaining. I am from North Dakota and attended North Dakota State University where I got my Bachelors of Science. I am currently a Chemist in the area of Water Treatment, however I am going to go back to college to pursue a degree in Computer Science in the fall. I, like many others here, have met most of these young chaps through Asylum's Altis Life Server where I am an Administrator as well. Other additional hobbies would be sports, hunting, fishing, music, movies, and of course hanging out with friends. If you have any questions or need help, don't hesitate to message me.

Greetings All! I will preface this by saying that my username is pronounced "Goo-Gee." I have heard a lot of different variations of it and I hope this will prevent any confusion! My actual name is Evan and I am a sophomore studying to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. I am originally from Florida, the warm and sunny state where all you bizarre news stories originate. I came to know all of these amazing people through being an administrator on Asylum's Arma Life server since April 2014. My interests are mainly in the relationship between technology and law, which I hope to pursue after I finish my undergraduate education. I also am working to become fluent in Spanish, which I hope will be complete after I complete my abroad studies in Barcelona. In addition to gaming, I also enjoy watching and playing soccer, rowing, programming (Web Development, Java, C, Python), videography, and much more! Feel free to message with help regarding Identity or the Gaming-Aslyum ARMA Life servers.

Hey 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!

Nice to meet you all. I'm Matt, also known as Dysto, I guess that's my sort of online alias. I'm a Second Year University Student in the UK who loves to get involved in online communities especially when it allows me to work around a great group of people and a great product. I started out running my own forums several years ago along with a friend, I then moved into the journalistic space acting as a freelance writer for a period of time. More recently I help test two GRID games at Codemasters being credited for my role in the community there, before stumbling onto Identity. If you have any questions or queries feel free to come and discuss it with me. You can also catch me at @Dysto on Twitter. I'll see you guys around, lets make Identity the next big thing.

I'm resident in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. I am also a married college graduate. In my professional career, I am a Network Engineer and Administrator for a well established & publicly traded Fortune 500 corporation. I have been in the industry for over 15 years and earned numerous professional certifications from Cisco and also accredited from the NSA in network security.
