I 100% agree here with @PowerGaming7. I'm not going to write a whole paragraph about it since he basically said everything I would've said. This isn't a competition between us YouTubers and I assume that power gaming is going about this the same way as I, where we are trying to get people to learn more about Identity and give it some exposure since the devs do not have the funds to market the game properly. Although it definitely grows our audience we are trying to grow the name and brand of Identity as well. The more people showcasing Identity, the more people will know about it's existence. A game like this truly needs to be well known in order to do well comparative to other games otherwise the game will just flop. @JamesLuck01 I'm not sure what you mean by I blocked you on the forums but I haven't as I still see your messages and reply to them. I do appreciate your help with providing me with some of the answers even if you can't help me with all and that is understandable since you are not a dev or with the staff. I did NOT however block your comments on my YouTube channel, (I don't even know who or what made you think that I did), as the last person I had to block was about a year and a half ago but that's another story. I welcome all comments on my videos whether it is positive, questions, criticism, or even just straight up hate. I do understand that you may not like me as a YouTuber or even a person but hey I can't be liked by everybody right? I just want you to know that I have not blocked you on my YouTube comment section and you are free to comment whenever you'd like! (P.S. I know that i didn't state in the video that the map was concept art but I did however put it into the pinned comment when i released the video!) Nonetheless thank you @ThePro for your support! And yes I will admit @PowerGaming7 definately knows more than me about the game as he has been following it far longer than I have so I would definitely recommend his videos as well as he has way more Identity videos than I (Which I'm hoping to change ) and is a great person as well and is a great source of information about the game! Oh look I did end up writing a paragraph , that's all thanks for reading!

Hey @JamesLuck01 thank you for the kind words! I think the most important thing here is not to have a debate on who is the better YouTuber because that is up to the viewer, however I think it is alot more important to know that Identity is getting some exposure. The devs don't have that much money to be spending on marketing unfortunately but having people on social media outlets like YouTube / Twitter is a big way to get the game known to other gamers outside of our community. I mean let's face it if hardly anyone knew about the game it would be boring as you'd have nobody playing it, and that is not good in a game like Identity. @ThePro Apologies for making you feel bored man! The main reason is to why I speak slower is to make sure firstly all of the information I give is accurate and secondly to make sure the viewer digests all of the information, because some people take a bit longer to take in the information you give them, so if you are talking fast then they will not take any of it. I will try to improve in future videos though! Thank you for the criticism, and I do hope you'll stick around because when the game fully drops my channel will hopefully be changing to entertain you alot more! Regardless, TheDynasty makes great content (Not just his Identity content) and I respect him as a YouTuber and as a great guy, I do recommend his videos! Also in my Identity gameplay series I want to make sure people can get the full experience of what Identity has to offer, so that means absolutely no abusing any powers. I mean I don't think I even have any powers lol. I mean ironically that is known as powergaming *I think I need a name change lol* But I would never try and abuse the position of being a YouTuber ingame to get anything out of it, that's just wrong and makes people feel left out of the experience when we have both paid the same amount of money to play the game.

I was considering putting this in immigration, but I felt it was the wrong place for it. . . Anyways, I have a watchful eye on Turtle Beach. When I was in the USMC I lived in North and South Carolina for some time. Incredibly beautiful sunrises and sunsets, along with some vicious storms. Probably ranking top 5 of my favorite places on earth. So where do you guys wish to call Home?

City and in the woods! I want two houses. On weekends, go to woods. During weekday and work, chill in city.

You heard it from the correct area but you cannot loot a police officer at all I believe @HairyGrenade can confirm.

Ok I am in chrome now and yes it seems to be blackish background color. I was using latest FireFox browser before so unsure why that is not working. Firefox is pretty darn good so there must be issues somewhere with the CSS theme code is all I can say.

If the error message was something such as "There was an error posting the message" or something similar, just so you know I end up getting that message sometimes when I try to comment on my own videos XD, I'd recommend signing out of your account then signing back in to try to comment again and that should fix it , like I said whether you want to post something positive, hateful, or even criticize me or something I said in the video you are more than welcome to! I respect the fact that not everyone will see things the way I do so I don't get mad at that. I saw you answering comments on my video that you commented on helping out the others who didn't know as much about the game so thanks . That's definitely welcome on my channel as I don't have much time to respond to every single comment and I don't want people to feel bad if I don't get to them and I answered someone else so thanks for the help! And if I do ask @HairyGrenade for an answer instead of you @JamesLuck01 please don't take it personal as I am just trying to get the most confirmed info about the game so that's why I ask hairy since he has direct contact with the devs. However you do know much more than the majority of the people here and I'm sure the devs are thankful for you helping them as am i for you responding to some of my comments for me! Feel free to help out again if you ever want to it's greatly appreciated

Hey Guys, I thought I would share with you a little guide I designed a few years ago for businesses in Arma 3 Life. It's a simple business model that worked pretty well. It's more or less an algorithm for any business you choose to make. It allows for your employees to be paid, and will minimize them breaking off for sole profit. It is purposely written so that anyone can understand. --------------- Business Model System This is the business model system for maximum efficiency for any business. This model uses a percentage based pay and is designed to be easily modified and easily implemented. Here is the Key for the following guide: A- Overhead (This is the money you need to cover your expenses) B- Profit (This is the money you make after your initial investment has been covered) C- Employee Payroll (This is the money for you to pay your employees) D- Investors Payroll (This is the money to pay your investors) ----------------- Generally speaking you need to arrange all of your investors payroll and your employee payroll to only come from your profits. It is important to remember what your total investment is, your profit, and your payroll. Be sure that you keep an eye on your finances. This is an example of the business model: Your total Overhead (A) is $1000 You have one investor, who has invested $1000 into your business in exchange for 5% of your profit (B). This places a $20,000 valuation on your company. You have one employee plus yourself. Your employees and investors make 5% of your profits. From 100% of your profit (B), you now owe 10%, which leaves you with 90% of your profit. Your profit is $5000. This means that $250 goes to your investor, $250 goes to your employees. 90% of your profit or $4500 is now left over. You invest $2000 into your Overhead this time. You have the same amount of investors. Your company's valuation is still only $20,000. You have gained another employee plus yourself. You have banked $2500. If your profit from a $1000 investment was $5000, this means you made $6000 from the total investment. In turn you expect to make double because of your investment of $2000. This puts you at a $10,000 profit. 5% of $10,000 is $500. You pay your employees $500 and your investor $500. This leaves you with a total of $9000 profit. This algorithm is a progressive system. You do not have to pay any specific percentage, I was simply explaining the math with the easy percentages. ---------------- Q: Why would someone work for me, if they could make the same amount as me? A: Your employee pays no overhead, he uses your equipment, he uses your services, he uses your resources. He has no risk involved. If he is robbed, it is not his money he is losing. (Or She). Also, your employee will scale with more employees and more profit. Whereas if he were to do it all on his own, he would make the same singular profit without the ability to scale, unless he were to create his own company. (Or She). Not to mention, you could promote the employee to making more of a percentage. Q: Why not split the profits evenly? A: You can do that! Except you do need to take out your next expenses before dividing up the profit. Always cover your next venture. Q: Why bank the money? A: The reason for banking your money is insurance. If you are robbed, or an expensive piece of equipment is lost, stolen, or broken, you need to be able to cover those expenses. You pay yourself, the same amount as you pay your employees. You bank the remainder for upgrades and incidentals. Q: Is this the only system that works? A: Heavens no. There are many different systems that work, this is just an easy one to start with until you get your feet wet. ----------------------- Should you have any questions, or anything you would like to add to this guide (Business Model) please reply and leave a comment.

An option to choose who your family is, both must consent. But never being able to remove them, only disown. You do not need the other players permission to disown them. The option to make a "will" in game. Should someone stop playing Identity IRL or die IRL their items and properties can be transferred to someone of their choosing in their will. You can always update your will. The way to know if a player has stopped would be if that players family member, or person in their will reports the player is inactive or has died. They would then have to wait 1 year before they could obtain their assets and items. Family members that are "disowned" cannot try to claim. If a player is married and their partner reports that they have died or are inactive, they will also have to wait 1 year for inactivity before being able to claim items. If a player has a will only the people in the will can recieve the assets. If the player has more than 1 family member it will Prioritize who is listed as their spouse, if no spouse, then child. If their family members are siblings, parents, cousins or aunts and uncles, it will go to who ever reported their death first. This is a nice way to keep businesses running even once people are no longer playing, they can pass on their assets to someone else. If a player comes back after a year they can dispute on having their things returned to them. After 2 years they can no longer dispute.

Hello fellow officers, Just wondering if there is enough interest in a police union, a place we can all connect. Allow new and old members share their experience, politicians come and talk to us while also getting questions from u. Would this be something you all want?

Ryver declines the offer and suggests cleaning herself up and heading to the hospital later when Jason has picked up a little. "I just found him at the bottom step, he lives in my building that's about all I know i'm afraid" She heads back over to Kevin, gives him the location of her car and the keys. "If you drive it back here later I'll take you back to your car, or vice versa-Sorry about this" Heading back inside the apartment she removes her clothes with finger tips, jumps in the shower and gives thought to Jason and promising to him in her head that when she is DA it won't happen.

Maybe he's saying Idea in Russian. Those thick accents da?

I plan to live in the mountains of Ash Hill! Although Turtle Beach does sound fun to live in, I think the mountain terrain definitely fits me more! Eventually, I do hope to have a house in each of the main cities though, so I can experience living in each of the main areas! ^.^

As Ryver waited for kevin to set off, she saw a reflection of something odd on the stairs of the apartment building. Squinting her eyes she exclaimed "OMG!" jumping out of the car and as best she could in such a fitted dress hastily make her way back into the apartment building. Crouching on the step next to Jason she hauled him as best she could over the edge to allow any vomit trail away she spoke in a level raised tone "Jason...Jason can you hear me? It's Ryver" She had been in this position many times before with her family, she called for an ambulance and sat close to him to keep him warm, she beared no mind to the vomit on her dress, texting her boss to tell him what was happening and that she would not be in work.. she thought about all the occasions she had text him due to charitable deeds she had gotten herself into.. she couldn't recall ever actually being ill as a reason to 'call in sick' She stroked Jasons head, talking to him all the time: "You'll be alright honey, the ambulance is coming" in her soothing southern accent.

I'd probably set up my music shop in Turtle Beach. Carolina is amazing and I love it there. So I'd probably just relax at the beach and sell guitars.

There should be an autopay system, I seen somewhere that you can already autopay workers. So if someone had enough money already and had a good business it could keep going for awhile. For example I have a 10 year old son, he also buys the game. He has the choice to list me as his actual parent in game. I'm not looking for "children" I'm looking for a system that you can list family. Not something that's really meant for "role play family". You'd get no benifits from having anyone listed as family other than the "will" option. I've played many games where a close friend of mine will give me all their things when quitting but is unable to give over all their assets. While yes, in 1 case I have had a friend who gamed with me pass as well. It's more of a territorial/materialistic thing for a person if they have a friend/loved one that will no longer be around, sometimes people find it comforting if they were able to take up their friends previous works. Maybe its still too early for video games to have things of this detail, I dream of the day where a game can have all the essentials. _________________________ Dan is a Police officer Tom is a Civilian Dan and Tom are good friends, but not listed as relatives. Relatives can automatically be listed in someone's will and will not need to be requested. Dan has requested Tom if he would like to be in his will. Tom has accepted. Dan has told Tom he will not be playing any longer. Tom reports Dan's inactivity. Dan's items are: $1350 cash, 47 articles of clothing, 1 sports car, 1 bedroom Luxury Apartment, 1 House, 1 Coffee Shop, Police Car, Police Items, Furniture, Coffee Shop Tools, Food items, Weapons. Tom cannot take Dan's police items because he is not a police officer. Tom can "hold onto" Dan's assets once he's been inactive for 2 months; 1 Luxury Apartment, 1 House, 1 Coffee Shop. Tom already has a house, but he has the choice to sell his own house and take over Dan's. Tom sells his own house and holds onto Dan's. Tom cannot sell any of Dan's furniture until 1 year has gone by. But Tom can put Dan's items in Storage and put his own old furniture into Dan's home. If Dan's items break Tom will have to pay to fix them or he can use his own items. Tom uses Dan's coffee shop items to make coffee, it breaks but he does not repair it. If Dan comes back he will have to pay for the broken items, that is if Tom has decided to pay for Dan's assets to keep them running. If Tom chooses not to, they will go for sale like they normally would if a player does not pay rent to keep items running. 1 Year has gone by without Dan returning, Dan has selected all items that Tom will receive. Dan has selected "Everything" option. Tom receives all of Dan's cash, furniture, clothing, food, electronics, gear, and now has ownership of Dan's assets that he has paid to keep running. If Dan wanted more than 1 person in his will, he would have to select who would get what asset or items. If he only wanted Tom to have his business in case he ever returned he would only select "Coffee Shop" for Tom to receive. Two people would not be able to share an asset. For Dan's money, he would have to choose in what % of money each person would receive instead of an actual number.

Either or, Valley more likely.

I want to live as far in the woods as possible! Most likely the area around Ash hill, the mountain town.

No vehicle's until the last module. The Town Square is only limited to the Town Square and don't include guns or vehicles. It is just a socialising module to be accurate enough!

Unfortunately when the Town Square releases, it'll only be a limited experience. I'm not sure how much will be released, but I atleast hope to be able to see our vehicles in our garages. Can't wait to see you in Town Square Hatoful!

Who is running by the way?

I don't think most of you have realized that the staff on here has previous experience and developement with people and the company Asylum. Having a person who moderates an official server whom is not part of the company is kind of un-moral wise. I am not doubting experience in staffing ( Gmod- gta rp - list goes on ) but Be reasonable. Staffing is very, very serious for an official server but you can become a staff member within a private or unofficial server due it does not influence the PR of the company. It is also weird having freelancing moderators to watch over the official sever when other developers and staff members that helps the game whether it is debugging, V.A or consulting yet you have people who have no reason to actually staff other than giving the reasons of " I want to help the community out" or " I have too much time" etc. If you want to get hired or work as an moderator / staff member send Asylum an email regarding experience and resume. This is a real company not an unofficial community that runs shit for fun. What I am about to say will be correct and also incorrect in the same way. When you staff for a long period of time you become less serious because it is not work and no, the comment " I think of this as my job " doesn't really apply to it. Moderating a heavy-af RP server which is official is pretty damn stressing as people are depending you staying neutral all the time and that is impossible. Which is basic as people can be douches too but still just think about I could write more but I just got bored. Anyhow, Have a nice day.

Don't forget no nudity!

Yes, and it is partly thanks to the You Tubers @PowerGaming7 and @TheDynasty! Thanks Guys! Hopefully it will grow even more.

Look: https://gyazo.com/72054a7be85e5b88de211b58a01b4b79 Mine is perfectly fine and so you need to try another browser because well it is fine for me and no one else has complained about it! They will not act on 1 person as it is not a necessary thing which needs their attention more than other things.

hrm ok maybe you just like big signatures? lol

I didn't mean add it in the post, I have it in my "Signature" and that is where it should be. However people will like your post if they want to and if not then they won't, as that is right, but there is no harm in having that on your signature. @Preston_bodhi_343

my guess is 29.99 or 39.99 on steam cause they take a % of the money too

I thought about that, making a 2nd character for vigilante work in case the prison system takes forever to get out of.

Vigilante, always.

I said "American Soccer" because where I grew up they always said soccer, although I know some people call it football. (That is why I clarified "American" to specify that was the "American" way for saying it)

ok thank you, looks like my wallet will be lighter as soon as the make progress on town square... (its been 76% for a mounth +

Ok, I however don't know what was going on but earlier on that video it would not let me comment on the video and the message I read out to my friend (Who knows more about YT than me) told me the only explanation could be that you blocked me on the comments. However about that, I am sorry I accused you of that as it may have just been a problem on my end. Back to the part about me saying you blocked me on forum, I realised that I got that wrong after I saw your reply to my comment on your post and I removed that from the comment above. I don't think you or powergaming, neither can be better than eachother and are equally as good on YouTube. (I did however explain it above on the last comment of the first page, but I was editing and then saving as I went so you may have missed that). But again; I sincerely apologise for accusing you of blocking me on YT comments and the forum! Regards, James.

Your in the wrong category ma dude This is the business forums. You can go to the Gang/criminal related forums if you trying to do meth

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 .

All are my own thoughts. The board room is more "specific" in what jobs there should be while I enjoy brainstorming over how all things could connect with each other and on a detailed level to give concepts more concepts. To label them and make them more organized. You say "Box Service" was someones idea already and you're correct. But I'm not pulling this information from anywhere that's just how the real world is and that is why this is in the "Ideas & Suggestions" because I am interested in a "Food" concept and what's going to happen with the food in this game. For example, say instead of the Flour Factory it is a Water Bottle Factory. They would mass produce Water Bottles and need Plastic Bottles instead and they would instead need "Plastic" packaging for their Water bottles. I just picked something at random and it happen to do with cardboard boxes. -Fisherman catches Cod -> Sells Cod to Seafood Store -> Sells Cod to Seafood Restaurant (Restaurant buys from store) -Farmer farms Wheat -> Sells Wheat to Flour Factory -> Sells Flour to Seafood Restaurant (Restaurant buys straight from Supplier) -Chicken Farmer picks Chick Eggs -> Sells Eggs to Seafood Restaurant (Restaurant buys straight from Supplier) -Grocery Store Sells Vegetable Oil to Seafood Restaurant (Restaurant buys from store) -Seafood Restaurant has all ingredients to make Deep Fried Cod -> Makes Deep Fried Cod -> Sells to Customer I hope this makes more sense on what I'm trying to get at, I have a tendency to get off track and think of more ideas branching from it.

I came across this video and fell in love with the game. I skimmed through a few forums but nothing that specifically revolved all around food being industrialized or the process of it being industrialized and what the possibilities were. The only things I've really seen are "Coffee Shop" which is nice but surely I hope there is more variety. I have underlined all the outlets that would be possible if you can: Fishing: Fish: Beluga's, Cod, Tuna, Salmon, Eel, Squid, Octopus Other: Lobsters, Oysters, Scallops, Shrimp, Crab. ________________________________ Farming: Vegetables:Tomatoes, Potatoes, Carrots, Garlic, Onions Fruit: Apples, Bananas, Oranges Berries:Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, Black Berries Spices:Cinnamon Livestock: Cows / Dairy, Rice, Snails, Frogs, Horses, Ducks, Chicken, Eggs, Pigs, Other: Wheat, Sugarcane, Grapes, Coca Beans. _________________________________ Making: Wine, Champagne, Rice Wine (Saki), Chocolate, Cheese, Edible Gold, Soda, Chips, Canned Food, Cream, Butter, Whipped Cream, Icecream, Deep Fry Batter, Flour, Sugar, Pasta, Vegetable Oil, Yogurt. _________________________________ Find/Search: White Truffles. _________________________________ Grocery Store: Canned Goods, Produce Goods, Baked Goods, Dairy Goods, Baking Goods, Meats, Vegetables & Fruits, Chips. Luxury Restaurant: Gold, Beluga Caviar, Lobsters, White Truffles, Oysters, Champagne, Foie Gras. French Restaurant: Quiche, Crepes, Cheese & Wine, Mousse, Macaron, Les Escargots, Les Cuisses de Grenouille, La Viande de Cheval. Fast Food Restaurant: Hamburger, Fries, Onion Rings, Milkshake, Chicken Nuggets, Soda, Soft Serve, Deep Fried Chicken, Subs. Seafood Restaurant: Fish & Chips, Scallops, Prawn Cocktail, Crab Cake, Cockles, Clam Chowder, Mussels.

Middle Eastern Restaurant: Shawarma, Mujaddara, Baklava. This is what I mean by I don't know how in depth the foods are because there are so many different types of foods and types of outlets, it would be a shame to only have so little diversity. The ideas I put out were all my own thoughts and how the real world works and with food marketing being the biggest in the real world. So though in this video is says how you can manufacture goods such as furniture and clothing, I did not know if there would be anything for food in the same manner. I didn't put this in the board room because it's not "specifically" for a single job or company but a network of ideas that have the ability to all be connected and what their purpose is individually (vaguely). They are just vague thoughts and if I needed to be more detailed with it they would have to be put out individually and each would have a good presentation of what that career would be like and the sub careers. For example a "Mechanic" Tree These careers may not be "point on" with the real world, but they give a way to group things into organized categories. Master Career: Master Mechanic (Can be a mechanic for all Mechanic careers) Career: Auto Mechanic L Sub Careers: Car Mechanic, Motorcycle Mechanic, Bus Mechanic. Career: Aircraft Mechanic L Sub Careers: Helicopter Mechanic, Plane Mechanic, Private Jet Mechanic. Career: Marine Engine Mechanic L Sub Careers: Motorboat Mechanic, Fishing Boat Mechanic, Cruise Ship Mechanic.

Considering that it's such a small team, they probably don't have time or resources to work on the game and post updates constantly at the same time. They normally only post updates if they've hit a milestone or made a lot of progress.

Well, I knew of the one Q&A, I suppose I have to do some deeper digging to find the second. My anticipation is killing me, I wasn't even this excited for GTA-V and trust me, I was pretty hype years ago, when I still played console. I did know about the soon-to-be weapon customization video, that'll be nice to see the concept.

Thanks buddy

I remember how in GTA: Vice City, you used be able to help the police officer and they gave you money, in this it would help because in real life some people are ballsy enough to help officers.

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.

Clothing like this. xx I need to look as fabulous as ever.

Sponsoring once the game comes out!

Great Idea, but I am a person who don't specifically like pictures of myself. So I will think about it and will edit this post if I do add one.

Good luck man depending on how well they do the cars in this. This could be awesome!

I'm loving everything about this mmorpg! My only issue... And I HATE to criticize because I KNOW the devs are awesome and doing so so much to make this experience a great one... But, It seems like they are sort of sending mixed messages. They say that they want everyone to be who they want to be and look how they wish to look, and also that they want the game to be really social and for people to feel part of something. But yet they seem to be unsure/against creating custom content. Everything is about guns and cars! What about the people who just want to chill, hang out in clubs/bars/social groups, be creative and maybe just run a business? I love the fact that in other games users can create skins, hair, mesh/textured clothing etc. to really make their characters look much better than the "stock" clothing/hair/skins available in the base game. I understand that these thing are not really important to some people (I get it), but to others it's really kind of "make or break" it. I totally get it if the devs would like to prevent everyone from running around looking like monsters or aliens, but within reason, people should be allowed to experiment and really customize their look! I just really hope they allow for numerous and varied fashion, skin, hair and accessory options! Anyway, on to the fashion! I used to play Second Life a lot (womp womp lol), and I used to create different looks and styles for my avi. I thought I would post a few here as an example

Very interesting! Good luck!

If we can live off the land why not be a farmer? You can grow your own food. Sell it for a profit, expand land, maybe animals? Get a nice fancy tractor to drive around and a straw hat and overalls! Could be exciting to see all you could do with farming.

It's the best job! As long as they'll make it a job. The tweets aren't clear!
