Hello, candidates and fellow concerned citizens. After discussion with the candidates for the Governorship, most have agreed to participate in a debate, in order to discuss their ideas in a public setting, and let the general population get a feel for their candidates and compare one another. I think it's wonderful that the candidates and community want to become so involved in this, and I'll be excited to host or help with this event. If you have ideas about what platform this debate could best be held on (discord, forum post, etc) please, let me know. I want the community, as well as the candidates involved in this, as it'll be a lot of fun, and a nice bit of RP too! If anyone has any suggestions for this event, let me know. If you wish to participate in the debate, also let me know, I don't want anyone coming in last minute. Good luck to all of you candidates! Thanks to the candidates for working this out with me! Edit: We will be holding the debate next weekend, as to gather more details, generate notice, allow the candidates to prepare, and let the people know what they're asking.

Hey guys some of you may know me some of you may not. I run a YouTube channel with 5800 Subscribers at the time I am writing this. I am planning on doing a YouTube series as a police officer following along my journey and perhaps some funny encounters (I will also do other types of videos on the game of course).I am really looking forward to this game as there currently aren't any games where there is a real and good dedicated police force! I hope some of you will be able to join me along in this journey and maybe I'll see some of you on the field! My YouTube channel is TheDynasty in case you were wondering .

As before, im nitpicky on details and i thought this idea would be cool. Ive seen it discussed and rather poorly executed on ArmA 3 for Altis Life and i figured, if they can do it there, why not here? So my idea/question is: Will there be vehicle wear and tear? Will whatever car or vehicle i drive gain mileage over time the more i drive it? As stated earlier, a few people have attempted this in a simple code that just makes your vehicle explode within a random mileage range (I.E. Anywhere between 150,000 - 200,000 miles your car will explode) and because of such it was quickly struck down However i feel AAA roadside assistance would be a cool company to run and that it would keep the economy flowing. if people got to start worrying about how much gas they're using or how much mileage theyre putting on their car, theyre more likely to walk places that are close, maximizing player interaction. food for thought.

1. Leaving a server won't change anything. 2. They are Instanced but (3.) ONLY 1 person can own that house on the server. 1. There will be a kick system with a certain AFK time allowed I would say. You will have to wait for a slot to open up, because that's how games work mostly. You will be able to join your friends if it is not full. Well I am sure 300 players are the max to be on at one time but it does not mean that it is limited to the first 300 players, That is not how it works. @heathington @Ubbe @Buckets I double checked as the info on the amount of houses was from a long time ago and I was told that it will be less than 300 houses on the map because the devs want it to make you feel like you have accomplished something by getting the house.

1. If you buy a house on server 1 that house won't be yours on server 2, this however could be different with apartments (Pledge apartments are definite on all the official servers. 2. To join the police, firefighters and paramedics there is a tutorial which you have to complete at a place of education (University) which acts as a qualification. There is no pizza delivery jobs / careers. But if you want to start a business I suspect that it will cost money to start it.

thanks for confirming, keep up the good work guys

Yeah it's good seeing any youtuber give the game video time.

I would but I don't have time to edit and I haven't ever edited my videos I have done so will have to get used to that. But I will stream when it comes out.

Im sorry i should have been more specific as i have been researching this game since the overview video was released. will these criminal organizations be on a large scale and can you take over and control "turf" and such; what i mean to say is how complex will this path be or is it limited to drug dealing, robberies, etc.

According to the developers, making money will be equivalent to making money in real life. You'll have to work a job and get paid just like in real life. They are going for a life simulation so making it as realistic as possible is their goal. It won't be easy but it won't be impossible. However, it will be more difficult to become rich.

Pam looks over at the two guys talking, a guitar between them. She notices one of them staring at her, his eyes stealing glances at her, smoking as she does. She smiles weakly, and gives a small wave, her fingers shaking as she does. She looks over and sees a pretty red haired girl flipping through her mail. Inhaling her cigarette, Pam admires how well put together she looks. She looks back at the two guys, one with his hat backwards playing his guitar. She had seen him around before, but these other two were new. She ashed her cigarette onto her bank statement, almost as red as her eyes, before crumbling it up and tossing it over towards the waste basket, hitting the girl's shoe. She looked away quickly, a burst of laughter, her eyes meeting the man with the sunglasses.

Pamela woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. She rolled over sluggishly, her mind a haze. In a swift impulsive swipe, she knocked the electronic clock onto the floor, cracking the screen and breaking it. She sat up, her frayed blonde hair a mess, dark black roots coming in. She rubbed her eyes, mascara caked on from days past. Sitting up, she threw on someone's shirt, a man who left it there who knows how long ago, and some sweatpants. It had been three months since Moe died, and three months since the diner closed down. It was obvious she was in denial, she still had her alarm set for work. She didn't bother going to the funeral, instead she went out and got high, which is what she had been doing for the past three months in a bender only someone with a tolerance like her could survive. She slumped down the stairs of her building, shuffling over to the mailbox. She clicked her key in, taking a few tries to open it due to her drug induced haze, still coming down from last night's high. The envelopes seemed to pour out. They were mostly bills. Past due utilities, angry threats from the landlord, credit card bills that she didn't even remember. She flipped through to find her unemployment check, it still hadn't come in yet. She was screwed. She needed a job, or some money, or the power was going out in her place. She sat there and lit up a cigarette in the lobby, walking over and sitting on the stairs, flipping through the bills wondering how she was going to get by. She wished Moe had left her the diner, she thought a lot about her life as she became more and more lucid, and now more than ever could use a drink, or some drugs.

"Might as well, who knows, maybe I can remember a chord or two from when I tried to learn" Kevin says as he grabs the guitar. He makes an attempt to play a G C D progression, slightly screwing up his finger positioning. "I've always said that the only music I can make comes from a engine" Kevin says handing the guitar back with a smirk.

im not sure if this topic has been touched on, but im sure a game this detailed has added some sort of "personal health" system with showering and such, and if not, that's what im here to suggest. A person can be only as cleanly as their job, and that should be reflected in game. If a coal miner neglects to wash his clothes for a week or even change them, that shouldnt be reflected in the same regards as say... a secretary. I was thinking a system should be added that allows players to do simple things such as shower, brush their teeth, wash their clothes, and so on, that if left neglected, will effect their exterior appearance. It would open just another little fun bit for RP (example, man becomes a serial killer and is forced to hide out in the woods for weeks, shouldnt be able to blend in perfectly the day he returns to town, he should come back looking like a pile of mud since hes been sleeping in it for years, make the cops jobs a bit easier). It would also allow another branch for business. maybe you want to save money and not buy a washer/dryer. maybe you dont have a spot where you can hang a clothesline, so where do you go? the laundromat. or hell, you can choose to wash your clothes in the sink, and hang them out the window to dry and hope they dont get stolen. what are your thoughts/opinions on this?

"If you have I probably had a good amount of grease on me" Kevin chuckles as he grabs his bills out of his mailbox. Kevin looks up from his mail and has a feeling of recognition when he suddenly places it. "I'm pretty sure I've seen you do a show somewhere. I don't think we have ever been properly introduced, I'm Kevin by the way" Kevin puts his hand out.

Jason, completely hungover from trying to drink away his problems, decides to get up. He realizes that he has about an hour to get to his gig at a coffee shop. He grabs his Martin Acoustic Guitar and puts it in his guitar case. As he walks down the stairs he hears a man talking to somebody, Jason puts on sunglasses to hide his bloodshot eyes and rolls down his sleeves. "Hey, I've seen you around before haven't I?" He turns to Kevin, not understanding why he asked that if he's trying to be unnoticed. Jason sets his guitar case down and lights up a cigarette with god knows what's in it.

Customer Service!

I'm not saying the slot should be blocked out, just that when someone with a house queues up, they get a higher priority to get in. Idk, it might not work in practice. But I just wanted to put it out there to make sure potential issues like that are considered. It probably already is, but with everything else they are working on, sometimes things might be overlooked.

Piewdiepie would feel wrong honestly, i'dd rather be honest, i'dd rather have a small youtube cover but a great one, i wonder if the community on twitch only channels are more mature... probably not but it's the samre idea, i'dd rather have a few good ppl than a bunch of tards

Obviously. And @TheDynasty

Kevin wakes with a start as the alarm on his phone goes off. He knocks his hat off his face as he sits up on the couch after sleeping on it for what feels like the hundredth time. He heads into the bathroom and cleans up before getting dressed in a fresh set of clothes. Once dressed Kevin heads into the kitchen and grabs a energy drink from the fridge. He walks over to the window as he cracks the can, and looks into the clear skies. He grabs his hat off the floor putting it on backwards out of habit, grabs his sunglasses off the coffee table, and looks at his jacket for a second before deciding to head out without it. Kevin heads down to the lobby where he sees Ryver sorting through her mail. He catches hisself starting to stare, and snaps hisself out of it. "Just don't be a jackass for once in your life, and nothing around here should be akward" Kevin mutters to himself under his breath. "Morning" Kevin says as he walks over to check his mail, flashing a smile at Ryver.

I agree, people who enjoy Snowboarding would absolutely love this game. It's the most realistic one out there and it could have some major potential. Im still waiting for Skate 4 though.

I agree with @Shimozukachi 100%. Steep is the best game of it's type. SSX is an arcade game. It's goofy. I want realism. @GeneSmith comparing a game to SKATE is a compliment. You must just not like realism. That's okay.

I've been wanting this game for a while! Wish I'd caught it while it was still on Humble Bundle! Gonna wait for it to go on sale again

why would this be a total shit show? I have made money in other platforms say secoundlife and Imvu.. i am talking real cash.

BeamNG has very cool destruction, i play it a lot lol

Excuse my french, but fuck your tax plan. At 80% tax, I'd rather be poor than work my ass off running my business. Adjust the values to be more in line with something that doesn't make me want to leave the country and take my money with me.

I assume they will come in anytime there's a major situation that police cannot handle. All I see that has been confirmed is for bank heists, but I can't imagine they wouldn't be used for other heists or other situations.

Hi Kracken, Yes i feel like there are many crazy laws within the UCMJ and not all of them would pertain to being a civilian cop haha. Thank you also I've been assigned to a company in Germany and have absolutely LOVED it.

The first house you posted is PERFECT! Where do I sign?

I think the first module won't hit until halfway through this year, don't hype it up for the first quarter, it ain't lookin' too bright boys.

As someone who's going to be a serious RPer, none. Youtubers and streamers are very troll like (Running around like retards with a funny voice) and even if they themselves take it seriously, some asshole fan of theirs wanting their 5 minutes of fame is gonna troll to get their attention. Lirik's RP style especially ruined Altis life for me because everyone tries to be "funny" when they RP.

Firstly maybe edit your first post next time instead of double posting (Saves space). Back to your questions. 1. There will be many cars more than the pledges, those pledge cars are just unique cars which will not be available to other players via in-game as far as I know. 2. On Launch there will be dedicated Official servers available to play on or you have the option to "Rent" a server by amount of slots. You will not be able to host it on your OWN computer as the network setup will not allow it/ it won't work with how the network is setup.

The car customising will be in-depth and I have seen mentioned that they will have many different tire types including off road tires.

If they do add suped up cars, then any joe that has enough money to buy a car will upgrade it and make it look rediculious. Too many cars will be going around looking all upgraded and ready for a race. In real life 99% of cars don't look like this. I suggest if this were to happen, maybe it is only a few little things that will help in racing, but are not road legal. Eg. drag tires, slanted wheels, ect. Maybe you have an advantage with these, but you risk getting a ticket or your car being impounded or losing a licence.

i only suggest one car, because this is my car irl. lol

No kids, no Sex, no planes, no nudity. As @JamesLuck01 has pointed out, the devs have mentioned this multiple times now. I would also suggest looking through the forums before making suggestions, because chances are they might have already been discussed. Just for furute reference bro

aren't the bars the only gameplay in the sims?

A long list of some of the vehicles I want in the game, May be a lot to take in haha - It would also be awesome if we had garages and parts stores for our cars - It would be legendary if we could buy aftermarket parts for our cars, especially the ones listed below. because in real life the amount of aftermarket parts for these cars is absolutley huge! Lexus SC300 Mazda Rx7 Toyota Supra All Years of Nissan GTRs starting from R32 Toyota GT86/SUbaru BRZ/Scion FR-S Nissan S13 Coupe Nissan S13 Hatch Nissan S14 Kouki/Zenki Nissan S15 Subaru WRX (Any Year) Hatchback and Sedan Mitsubishi Evo Series (At least The Evo 5, 7, 8, and 10)

Pleeeeese can we have these! These are the british police evo 8's and the civilian ones would be nice too.

sure. childhoodmemories are the best thing. flashback quest for identity is the best and most realistic shooter with the best soundtrack #ChildhoodMemories. you've clearly proven (again) that you're 12 years old. you can't accept that other people like game b more than game a. just by your choice of words it's clear that you're baiting to argue.

I just want some of those STIs or WRXs in Subaru Blue

then go to ski simulations from the 90s that allow you to fall 20 miles without getting any damage when landing ya little arcade game player

Indian Scout Sixty. Mainly looks for me but I also love to hear these babies purr man. Cruising down the highway. BMW M6 I picked black because it's sleek. Any color would do though. Luxuary at its finest. Roll down the street in this and you're bound to turn some heads. Last but not least Ford Explorer Don't let the look deceive you. It's made for off-road and on road driving. Can handle almost anything you can throw at it and it's a Ford. So there's the seller right there. I kid. But it is a nice vehicle.

Another thing to is, its a game. It is not france.. its a place where people will be able to express themselves... and enlighten people like you into interesting fashion that you yourself in real life wouldent see in day to day life.. it would let you experience new things. and maybe even educate you on what else kind of things there are in the world. If these clothing hurt your eyeballs and you dont like them.. then what ever? If it bothers you? Then just look at it in a different way. i see it as something Artistic. seeing something different, can arises alot of new idea's and thoughts. Anyway what im trying to say is that there is more to life and this world then what you expereince in your own world.. and there are things people may want or like that you dont like. Everyone is different. and im not expecting you to go GAGA of this choice of clothing. id like for you to be more open minded, and just see it as an experience. just because you dont see it in your country it dosnt mean that others wont enjoy seeing it?

Dirtbikes are confirmed to be in the game, excited

Can you put R34 in please ? Just look at the elegant beast!
