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

That's exactly what I'm trying to get away from, the GTA mindset. I'm looking forward to role players who will take it seriously, not simply beat up everyone they come across, or plow through people and property doing vehicle stunts. It seems to me that things in this game will take time and effort to obtain, and hopefully have real impacting consequences for criminal behavior.

Howdy Kracken. Ive been a police officer since getting out of the Marines in 2003. Maybe I can help you teach these eager young whelps a thing of two. Welcome aboard. What the hell is wrong with you? You don't ask questions like that to people who have actually made a difference with their lives.

My names Eric. Currently in the process in becoming a Police Officer here in Canada. I've also been a civilian guard for detachments here. So I somewhat have a general knowledge in policing. I wouldn't mind assisting. To that note, I'd be looking for people that want to play the game, and not just be looking for a grand theft auto mindset to it.

From what I understand, (I'm not a dev though so I can't say for 100% certain all of this is true) is there are an unlimited amount of apartments, each one is its own instance and does not have a physical place in the actual world (houses are unique and have a physical place though). This means that it doesn't mean how late you start, there will always be an apartment available. I imagine apartments within the same category (studio, luxury 1 bedroom, etc..) will look similar if not identical to other apartments in the same category. If you mean to sell the apartment, considering that you're technically renting it and that each apartment doesn't take physical space, you probably can't sell it, just move out. I'm not sure about the other things like the car. Considering each pack builds on top of the previous one, I assume the two-bedroom is an improvement. The "luxury" part of the one bedroom apartment probably just means it looks better than a normal one bedroom apartment.

Hey John! Welcome to Identity! We are happy to have you here. To answer your question about what you will need to run Identity smoothly, I have seen some posts that say that a computer that runs GTA 5 and similar games will be sufficient. I'm sure as the game gets closer to release, the developers will release what specs are required. Happy gaming! All the best, Bobby Cruz

I didn't think of that, although I would still like to see it implemented though. (Possibly with multiple variants of the same animation so everyone doesn't look the same, possibly as an option for the host of the server to enable.)

Hello Kracken, and Identity community, My name is Nate and I myself am currently working as a Military Police officer. Though I haven't been in for long I've learned very key elements on enforcing the law, conducting large operations, community policing and in general how to be a great police officer. Hopefully when Identity is fully released I can join you in the police department.

I created a new topic in introduction as I suppose its the best place to do it. Why not have a picture of you so we put a face behind ? Here's me !

Hello! I can't say that I've been following Identity for ages, but I can say, the past couple months I've been foaming at the mouth ever since I came across it. Finally, I made the leap and pledged... So y'all are stuck with me! Haha. A little about me; My name is Matt, I'm 26. I'm married to my beautiful wife and have 3 kids. I'm an avid law enforcement supporter, so chances are you'll see me there! I currently work for General Motors working with the sheet metal frames on Camaros and a few Cadillac models (the sedans/sports). So if you see any out on the road, you can think of your friendly neighborhood Matt. Anyways, much love, I cannot wait to put my mark into the Identity game world. Talk soon!

Welcome! And where do I sign up?

I look forward in meeting new people. Of course every shape or form is good lol. I really like simulation games, and from seeing all the hard work that is being put into this game, I'm sure I wont be disappointed. My goals are probably unique. Although the law enforcement aspect does intrigue me, I've been wanting to see if I can make a difference in someone's experience in this game. I sure will use all resources available here and I wont be shy In asking. Thank you for the welcome!

Exactly... I've been told I have an old fashion type of mentality about policing. You know. The one where walking the beat and actually building bridges with the community. Being there for them anyway you can. Its certainly something I'd like to bring to the table in this virtual world.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! Hell yes!

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!

Hi Eric! Welcome to the game and community! We're happy to have you! I want to wish you luck in the game, as well as real life in the exams, I'm sure you did great! Regardless of what path you choose in the game, I'm sure you'll bring amazing RP to the community, and a lot of fun for yourself and everyone. Also, I wouldn't knock the criminal profession too much, without them, we wouldn't need law enforcement. That whole, two sides of the same coin deal. We all have fun in our own way! Have fun, and good luck! If you have any questions, just pop it on the forum and somebody will definitely be kind enough to answer.

I'll install discord on my laptop and if you guys are up for this group discussion I'll happily contribute

Why do I always see the "crazy" ideas lol. Shouldn't they just stick to GTA?

To answer your question about the crooked cops, I believe it is no. The devs want a very clear line between cops and criminals, but I'm sure some people will find their way around that. Bobby Cruz is correct in that a computer with the capability to run games, like Arma 3 and GTA V, will be sufficient. Finally, welcome to the community! I hope you enjoy it here!

personally i don't think GTA is a good comparison to this game

I'm also from Michigan. Good to see another Michigander on the forums.

I think it'd be fun to own my own convenience store, that sells; clothing, food & drinks, house plants, and other things.

I don't know what those are, sorry. lol. I have watched The Simpsons many times though.

Possibly as an option for a private server to have that ability.

Hi, welcome to Identity John! ^.^ Not sure about all of your questions, but I'm about 95% sure that some of the current pledges will be taken down/ increase in price once the first module is released (Q1 of 2017 which most people are saying is around March).

If there is one thing that will always help with immersion, it's gestures. General talking gestures (movement of hands our front), wave (steady hand up and the moving hand), hands on head, face palm, laugh (hands on stomach or flailing, Surprise (hand over mouth), Cheering, Point, If you see some Arma communities they have generic military gestures which people try to use. I feel the abInsert other media ove are a must to not only keep the immersion factor, but general communication would flow better and provide better RP situations. I really hope you consider this suggestion if you haven't already so that we may have some great RP scenarios involving gestures.

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

Heya Matt! Glad you could join us and take the leap faith! We're all just as excited here for the release of the game, and I believe that we can all make this a fun and immersive community! Also, I hope to see you on the police force as we may be working closely together and can benefit each other in the pursuit of justice. And get your wife in here, too! The more the merrier! Anyway, welcome to the community!

I don't mind at all. These are great questions. I really appreciate your support Kracken! Would tax rates go down when spending is down? This is something that could go along with your idea of fluctuating tax rates! Generally tax rates are fixed, but as said before, I am open to the idea of fluctuating tax rates, especially when certain economic factors like spending, consumption, etc, is high or low. Would you ever consider building your staff before launch so we all know who will be under power? I would actually like this to happen. Once the election process gets confirmed, I will actively be looking for members to immediately join the Governor's Cabinet, which will consist of a group of tight-knit and trusted individuals that will directly advise the Governor and assist with decisions. I will also open applications for those who would like to join any of our several committees as outlined in my campaign home page. How would you incorporate the police and local businesses together to assist each other? Relationships between local businesses and the police are important for a community to run efficiently. If the police force have the trust of business owners, they will be more willing to assist the police force, whether that be in small ways such as offering discounts for police officers or hosting events for the police Precinct as well as larger ways such as generous donations to the police force. Business owners need to know that the police force is dedicated to the safety of our community and that includes our local businesses. Whats the hourly pay for police? This is another thing, just like the policies and laws, that is hard to say until it is confirmed how much control the government will have in the game and what will already be established. Ideally, I'd like police officers starting wage to be $26 to $35 per hour, or about $50k to $60k a year, and increase as they gain more experience and receive promotions I hope I have answered your questions sufficiently! Thanks again Kracken! All the best, Bobby Cruz

I was really thinking of it for the Roleplay aspect of it but yeah I can see it making it to easy to get away.

@BobbyCruz Hello Mr. Cruz, I actually have a few more questions for yourself if you don't mind. Would tax rates go down when spending is down? Would you ever consider building your staff before launch so we all know who will be under power? How would you incorporate the police and local businesses together to assist each other? Whats the hourly pay for police? I have seen and read you're campaign message and I really like what I have seen

Thank you so much for the answers Mr. Cruz I am really enjoying the idea of you in control of our government. And thank you for keeping an open mind about the ideas I brought up.

Great to meet you Kracken! Thank you for reaching out to me to voice your opinions and ask these questions. Your idea on a fluctuating tax rate is very interesting and something I want to seriously consider. Having a solid relationship with the police force and police chief so that we can have conversations about what the police force needs quarter to quarter is a fantastic idea. I'm glad you are in agreement with us about gun control and I think that's a great point on bringing up restrictions and checks on gun shop owners to make sure there is no backdoor illegal selling. That's something we would definitely want to implement. To answer your questions: In case of a huge increase of crime would private security companies be considered? If crime became a serious and impending problem in the community and crime rate was very high, I would not be against contracting private security companies to assist the police force. If elected would you request a police escort? As of right now, I will not be requesting a police escort. Perhaps during large, community-wide events and special occasions, but as far as daily transportation, I don't think it will be necessary. If there is a threat to my safety or the safety of my team, I will not be hesitant in requesting one. How would you determine who becomes the police chief/would their be a vote? I love the idea of an election and voting process for police chief. In the beginning, one may need to be appointed depending on how the timing works out. However, rather than having me appoint each chief, I think letting the community decide is a much better and more inclusive alternative. What are your views on low level drug crimes? I imagine by "low level drug crimes" you mean crimes such as possession and possibly selling certain illegal drugs. This is a tricky one. However, I think a classification system of drugs could help us solve this question. If a drug is classified as extremely dangerous to society and one's health, then punishment will be more severe than somebody selling a drug that falls under a lower classification. I'm a big believer in rehabilitation rather than incarceration. Say we have an individual charged with selling their old prescription drugs. Instead of throwing them in a prison which takes up space and potentially surrounds them with much more dangerous criminals, having them do things like volunteer work, taking classes on how breaking the law can affect the community, and talking to people who have had past problems with addiction, in my opinion, is a much more effective method. Thank you again for taking the time to answer the questions that I have for the Police Precinct as well as asking your own. I truly appreciate this interaction and I am looking forward to building a great relationship with our police force! All the best, Bobby Cruz

Feel free to join when able! The link is in chat, and once we get a good amount of candidates we can begin discussion. Also, just wanted to commend @JoelKeys for the great idea again!

Perhaps location-based emotions would help. I.e. dancing would not work outside but would work in a club. I agree though; gestures are a must.

thank you please come again*

I think it would do the opposite. Arma does it right, but I dont see how me walking down the street and seeing someone instantly break into a dance animation with the same animation as everyone else around them it would actually take away the sincerity of the roleplay and make it seem more like a joke. If you have ever played Gmod you will know how bad it is with full body moving emotes.

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 was actually just thinking about something like this. I'd love to participate but it makes me wonder where the field/court would be.

I don't think there will be or should be any skin aging. At some point realism just becomes annoying and as don't wanna get stuck playing some fat wrinkly old hag.

i know with this game they will have good customisation, i will be a little like Grand Theft Auto, looks so fucking promising, I PRAY THIS DONT FLOP!!!!

Correct.

I think this is the house from the transporter movie right? I hope there will be be similar houses like this by the coast near Turtle Beach. This is a Mediterranean-French style villa.

Thanks guys, I'll investigate that.
