    (I just want to preference that in no way do I disrespect the first post. If anything I'd like these posts to become a series. That way all of our characters can tell their own stories.) 8:15 am, I wake up after the guards bash my cell with a baton for 5 minutes. 8 months, 6 weeks and 4 days spent in this shit hole of a jail. 9:00 am, after processing and getting all my personal belongings back, I'm thrown to the curb like some old furniture. By then I have 25¢ to make a phone call. "Hey Rick I ne-" "Are you out today man?" "Yeah I'm sorta in need of a fuckin ride man. Can you come get me?" "I can't man. We're fucking getting ready to make a deal with some chinks." "What the fuck man, I took 8 months for you fucking assholes and now I'm getting left out in the middle of nowhere?" "Hey! You watch your fucking tone. I'm the Sergant at Arms now." After a brief pause I let out a very deserving. "What?!" 10:00 am, I'm left without my MC without a ride and stripped of my patch. Hitching proves to be difficult because nobody wants to pick up an ex convict who's covered in white power tattoos. The heat was sizzling my skin to the point where I actually heard crackling. Finally after 20 minutes with my finger up I got a ride into town. 12:32 pm, I ride up to my friend Julian's to see if he can hook me up with some coke or weed. Re packaging and re sale is easy. He's just a prick to get it off of. "Hey man!" Julian extends his hand out and pulls me in. "Good to see you buddy. How was jail?" "It was fucked man. Those guards were assholes with a capital A." I sit down and lean back. "Hey man, is there anyway I can get some dope?" Julian stands up and walks over to his kitchen. "What for man? Just regular shit man." Nervous about asking, I feel like he can see right through my lie. "Uuhhh. Sure man, do you have any cash?" "Nah, just got out remember? They threw me to the curb with 25 cents and said call someone." He looks down at his table. Weed in little dimebags and 8 balls scattered everywhere. "Here's what I'll do. If you can sell some 8 balls and shit I'll give you the weed." 1:23 pm, that's when shit turn sour. The cops had scheduled a bust on his apartment because of reports that there were drugs coming in and out of the place. Juliann shoots to the bathroom and starts flushing the drugs down. Me? I grab his pistol and a pillow and shoot out his window. Looking down it was only a 10 foot drop. Either that or a few years back in jail for violating parol. I grabbed what weed I could get and hopped out. Huffing and puffing I threw the gun into the yard next store and jumped the fence. TBC

    Like @Turaxis said, but I used the word "Faith" which can be another word for "Believe" or "Trust" and well if you pledge before the game is released then you need to believe and like the devs said many times; "If you doubt's hold back on pledging until your doubt's are gone." That was what they roughly said and well so, you either trust them enough and you pledge or you don't trust and you don't pledge.

    THE PEOPLE'S REVOLUTIONARY PARTY (P.R.P.) The ANTHEM of "The People's Revolutionary Party": (SHALL BE EDITED AND REVISED OVERTIME) Name: The People's Revolutionary Party (P.R.P.) Founder/Representative: Damien Malik Ideology: Direct-Democratic Communism Explanation of the ideology: The Direct-Democratic Communist State shall include: A Communist State involves providing each and every single proletarian (labourer) with free, unlimited, and sustainable food, clothing, shelter, energy, education, and healthcare. In the process, the proletarian-state (worker-owned state) shall seize the means of production within a centralized economy in order to ensure that each and every single human being attains the basic necessities to life. Finally, the idea of "class" shall be abolished in order to prevent the bourgeoisie from exploiting the citizens of the state. A Direct-Democracy involves providing citizens with the ability to elect Laws that shall be enacted by the representative of The People's Revolutionary Party, rather than to elect a representative that enacts Laws and policies on behalf of the people. In other terms, in order to prevent the representative from misrepresenting the interests of the proletariat, the representative MUST fulfill the either ACCEPTED or REJECTED proposal by the majority of the citizens within the state or city. Thus, the state is truthfully governed by the PEOPLE based on the sole premise that the PEOPLE elect Laws and policies rather than representatives within office. Hypothetically, if the representative refrains from fulfilling the elected demand of the public, excluding for unconstitutional purposes, the proletarian shall possess every Right to impeach the representative through either peaceful OR violent means. The constitution shall mention that the Law enforcement officers of the state shall be OBLIGATED to overthrow the representative that does not represent the ELECTED decision of the majority, excluding unconstitutional policies, rather than to defend the representatives as it's public servants. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DEFINITIONS: Citizen: According to The People's Revolutionary Party, a "Citizen" is identified as an EMPLOYED LABOURER. Any individual that INTENTIONALLY and VOLUNTARILY chooses to remain unemployed, excluding students, physically disabled individuals, and mentally disabled individuals, shall NOT be classified as a citizen of the state. In other terms, a VOLUNTARILY unemployed individual is NOT granted with ANY benefits or Rights by The People's Revolutionary Party considering that the Rights are applied to LABOURERS or WORKING-CLASS CITIZENS. Constitution of The People's Revolutionary Party: 1. Freedom of Expression: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to express their opinion to the public, excluding hate-speech that may provoke acts of violence within the nation. 2. Right to Food: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to attain a three-course meal during the day. 3. Right to Water: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to sanitary water. 4. Right to Shelter: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to possess a dwelling place with a heating/cooling system, a bed, a fridge, a stove, and a roof over their heads. 5.

Right to Participation: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to participate within Direct-Democratic elections regarding the foreign and domestic political, economic, social, and militaristic policies of the state/city. 12. Right to Protect: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to utilize REASONABLE FORCE against any individual that intends to inflict harm against a human being through unconstitutional and unlawful means. 13. Right to Exist: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to EXIST, despite their gender, sexuality, ethnicity, sexual preference, religious belief, age, nationality, language, physical or mental disability, and political spectrum. This right does NOT include individuals that commit criminal acts. 14. Right to Remain Silent: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to remain silent within any political, legal, social, militaristic, executive, legislative, or economic procedures. In other terms, citizens possess the Right to remain silent, regardless of the situation. 16. Right to Personal Space: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to Personal Space, excluding during circumstances in-which the state possesses probable cause to breach one's personal space for legal, political, or security purposes. 15.. Right to Revolt: Each and every citizen shall possess the Right to utilize REASONABLE FORCE, through peaceful or violent means, in order to overthrow a political leader that commits one of the following offenses: ---> i. Misrepresentation: An act of "Misrepresentation" involves MISREPRESENTING a CONSTITUTIONAL LAW that is proposed by The People through Direct-Democratic Means. In other terms, an act of "Misrepresentation" involves REJECTING a CONSTITUTIONAL proposition that is presented by The People via a Direct-Democratic Election. ---> ii. Unconstitutionalism: An act of "Unconstitutionalism" involves REPRESENTING an UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW that is proposed by The People through Direct-Democratic Means. In other terms, an act of "Unconstitutionalism" involves ACCEPTING an UNCONSTITUTIONAL proposition that is presented by The People via a Direct-Democratic Election. ---> iii. Counter-Revolutionarism: An act of "Counter-Revolutionarism" involves INTENTIONALLY neglecting an individual's Right to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. An act of "Counter-Revolutionarism" is not applied to citizens that are imprisoned regarding the inability to attain access to education. Additionally, a citizen that VOLUNTARILY remains unemployed, despite being presented with the opportunity of a job, cannot attain benefits from the state (excluding extremely physically and mentally disabled subjects). Thus, an act of "Counter-Revolutionarism" does not apply to INTENTIONALLY unemployed individuals considering that The People's Revolutionary Party merely assists LABOURERS of the state. Furthermore, Law enforcement officers shall be obligated to determine whether the "victim" truthfully lacks the funds to attain food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education during either the "Excess Cycle" or "Classist Period" (Cycles, Periods, and Ages are listed BELOW). In the process, The People are expected to provide evidence confirming that the representative had INTENTIONALLY neglected to provide an individual with access to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. Finally, The People must present evidence confirming that the individual is truthfully neglected the Right to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. If it is not the case, the subject shall be charged for committing the act/offense of "Perjury" (shall be a Criminal Law within the Criminal Code). Otherwise, the representative shall be EXPECTED to provide the individual with the Right to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education within SEVEN DAYS. Failure to provide the victim with Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education shall result in being overthrown by The People. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The People's Revolutionary Court: The People's Revolutionary Courts shall be divided into three sections: 1. The People's Constitutional Court: "The People's Constitutional Court" involves charging and/or defending individuals, regardless of their authority, for committing unconstitutional offenses. Usually, members of "The People's Revolutionary Party" are charged for committing Unconstitutional acts that may result in a suspension of their membership, termination of their membership, or imprisonment COMBINED with a verbal and written apology to The People via a speech. The procedure involves randomly selecting thirteen jurors via a PUBLIC RAFFLE in order to determine whether the individual is "guilty" or "not guilty" for committing an Unconstitutional offense of either "Misrepresentation", "Unconstitutionalism", or "Counter-Revolutionarism". A lawyer shall be presented to the defendant and prosecutor, combined with a THIRD PARTY Lawyer that critically analyses and questions both parties (defendant and prosecutor) on behalf of The People considering that THE PEOPLE possess every Right to propose questions and critical statements regarding the case. In other terms, the "Third Lawyer" is "The People's Lawyer" that represents the observers of the offense (The offense of "Misrepresentation" and "Unconstitutionalism" shall be observed by each and every citizen within the island). 2. The People's Criminal Court: "The People's Criminal Court" involves charging and/or defending citizens regarding offenses that infringe the criminal code of the state/city/island. The defendant and prosecutor shall be presented with a Lawyer in order to represent their stance within the case. Finally, thirteen jurors shall be randomly selected and summoned to the courts via a PUBLIC RAFFLE. 3. The People's Civil Court: "The People's Civil Court" involves resolving civil disputes such as divorces, contract agreements (different from theft), and numerous other civil matters that are not deemed to be a criminal offense. However, certain civil disputes may be transferred to "The People's Criminal Court" considering that a breach in a contract agreement (could be classified as an act of theft) or an act of spousal abuse may be mentioned within "The People's Civil Court", resulting in resolving a criminal case within the "The People's Criminal Court". Each party shall be presented with a lawyer in order to defend their case. In the process, either a JUDGE that is APPOINTED by "The People's Revolutionary Party" or FIVE JURORS that are randomly selected via a public raffle shall form a conclusion regarding the case. Finally, both parties shall be capable of determining whether the case is resolved by an appointed Judge or a randomly selected group of five jurors. If an agreement cannot be formed, the decision to either appoint a judge or randomly select five jurors shall be formed via a raffle. Each and every single court procedure shall consist of a "PEOPLE'S ADVISER", a "P.A." shall be responsible for REVIEWING the information to the jurors in order to ensure that each and every juror is WELL-INFORMED of the Constitutional, Criminal, and Civil Laws that are enacted within the state. The "People's Adviser" is expected to provide jurors with an OBJECTIVE analysis of the entire case in order for the jurors to produce a WELL-INFORMED conclusion during the verdict. The People's Revolutionary Party's "Economic" Cycles + Taxation System "Excess Cycle": The "Excess Cycle" indicates that the state consists of an EXCESS of commodities and services due to OVERPRODUCTION and UNDER-CONSUMPTION. For example, if the state produces an excess of 1000 cans/bags of coffee, each and every single citizen shall possess 100 cans/bags of coffee during that time period. In other terms, an "EXCESS" of goods results in abolishing the "Revolutionary Tax" (100% taxation on every citizen) in order to form a UNIVERSAL TAX that taxes each and every single human being a percentage that is above 5% and beneath 50%. Universal Taxation: Universal Tax in-between 6%-49% "The Classist Period": The "Classist Period" indicates that a major division has been formed within the classes. In other terms, the income-inequality gap has expanded to the extent that the "Classes" have been divided into three main groups: The Proletariat Class, Petty-Bourgeois Class, and Bourgeois Class. Thus, an "Income-Tax" shall be formed based on the FIVE QUNTILE CLASS-BASED SYSTEM: INCOME TAX: 1. Upper Bourgeois Class (Highest taxation) 2. Upper-Middle Bourgeois Class (Second highest taxation) 3. Middle/Petty-Bourgeois Class (Third highest taxation) 4. Lower-Middle Proletarian Class (Minuscule taxation) 5. Lower Proletarian Class (Minimal taxation) "The Revolutionary Age": The "Revolutionary Age" indicates that the classes have remain divided, despite the income-tax. In the process, the "Income Taxation" policy does not provide individuals with Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. Thus, The People's Revolutionary Party shall be expected to enact a "Revolutionary Tax" that ensures that each and every single human being attains access to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education within the PLANNED ECONOMY: Revolutionary Tax: 100% Universal Taxation that is applied to each and every single human being within the state. The Revolutionary Tax shall ensure that each and every single human being attains access to Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. The cycles/periods circulate in the following order: "The Classist Period", "The Revolutionary Age", and "The Excess Cycle". Examples of The Order of Cycles/Periods/Ages: 1. "The Classist Period" 2. "The Revolutionary Age" 3. "The Excess Cycle" 4. "The Classist Period" 5. "The Revolutionary Age" 6. "The Excess Cycle" ETC... -------------------------------------------------------------- HIRING! (E-mail me) Roles WITHIN the organization: 1. Political Members and Representatives 2. Political Advisors (Office Administration) 3. Economic Advisors (Office Administration) 4. Surveyor (Surveys nation... consensus report) 5. Propaganda Expert/Agent (media) 6. Journalists (media) 7. Reporters (media) 8. Distributors (Distribution of goods) etc... more to come. Roles OUTSIDE of the organization: 1. Security Guards Application: Full Name: Current Occupation: Former Occupation(s): Residence/Address: Reason for joining: <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Coalitions: 1. The Anti-Right Coalition: - The People's Revolutionary Party - The Radical Democratic-Left Party ============================================================================================ PRODUCE QUESTIONS IN ORDER TO ATTAIN RESPONSES THAT SHALL BE ADDED TO THE MAIN POST: Q&A (QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS): Q: 3 words my friend: Tyranny of the Majority. What if the majority decides to Lynche members of the other half because they are criminals when they are actually innocent? What if the majority decides to subjugate minorities in order to better their own lives? By your government, the Majority has tyranny. A: Each and every citizen deserves the Right to Life, Liberty, and Personal Space. Thus, any act that infringes the Constitution, including lynching the majority without probable cause, is a criminal offense to the party. In the process, lynchings will be prohibited considering that the death penalty is not a necessary or ethical method towards reinforcing positive behaviors and removing negative behaviors within society. Q: How much privacy? Do certain people get more privacy than others? What about the right to not be verbally abused? What if the majority classifies a dirty rag as clothing for the minority? I could go on forever. The point is, the majority has too much power. A: How much privacy? Each and every human being possesses the Right to privacy as long as subjects do not infringe the criminal Laws of the state. In other terms, government agents are expected to attain probable cause or a warrant from a judge, in order to infringe one's Right to privacy. The majority cannot enact such Laws against the minority considering that it infringes their Right to Liberty. In fact, one cannot enact any policies that causes one group to be supposedly inferior or superior to another group, excluding certain government-based jobs that involves attaining certain privileges. For example, a Law enforcement officer shall possess the privilege to search and seize a criminal's items during an arrest. Verbal abuse shall be measured within the judicial system depending on whether the verbal abuse is an act of harassment. An individual possesses the Right to state "F*ck you" as long as it is not a repetitive act that offends an individual or party. However, an individual that possesses a permit to protest within the street possesses every Right to express their ideals within their physical boundaries without being charged for harassment considering that the "victim" could easily depart from the location. Q: Sounds identical to a welfare state. What will prevent citizens from remaining unemployed due to the amount of benefits and hand-outs that are given by the government? A: Individuals will not attain such benefits from the state unless they are laborers within the state, excluding individuals that are either too physically or mentally disabled to fulfill a single role within the system. Either way, a physically disabled person would possess a job that does not involve physical labour while a mentally disabled individual shall fulfill a role that is functional and desirable for their precious minds. Q: The party's policy on "Hate Speech" and "Discrimination" could be abused in order to serve the interests of the state. Would "hating the government" be classified as "Hate-Speech"? A: Any acts of discrimination is intolerable as long as the city/state is governed by The People's Revolutionary Party. However, groups shall be prosecuted if their acts include promoting hate-speech towards another group considering that it may incite violence against a group based on their ideals. For example, a Neo-Nazi cannot express his hatred towards the Negro population considering that it may provoke radical individuals to commit acts of violence against an individual based on the colour of their skin. In the process, an individual is capable of expressing their opposing ideals against the political party as long as it does not promote violence against a representative that abides by the P.R.P. Constitution. One must understand that it is LEGAL for an individual to state "overthrow the government" if the individual commits an act of "Misrepresentation", excluding the rejection of unconstitutional propositions. However, one cannot incite violence against the party as long as the party remains constitutional with it's actions considering that inciting violence would infringe the party's Right to Life and Liberty. Disagreement is separate from hate-speech. Q: How shall the state be funded? What is the taxation plan for the party? A: Within a planned economy, resources shall be re-allocated according to one's needs. Thus, the SUPPLY of PRODUCED GOODS and SERVICES shall be equally distributed amongst the people. For example, the production of 100,000 bags of coffee beans shall result in providing each and every citizen with 100 bags of coffee (1000 people per server) etc... It shall depend on the circumstances at the time considering that 100% taxation shall be necessary during an economic crisis that involves government intervention. However, during a time period that involves receiving an excess of goods, the taxation shall be formed solely based on an "income-tax" that is mathematically and scientifically measured by our economists. Funding? The people shall produce commodities and services that shall be distributed to the public. Simple as it sounds, it is effective when each and every human being fulfills the role that they desire within society. In other terms, the "100% Tax" shall be revoked as long as each and every single human being attains free food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education combined with other luxuries that are equally distributed by the party. However, the "100% tax" shall be re-enacted if the income-inequality gap increases to the extent that it forms a division between classes. Q: Will all citizens earn a equal amount for each job, or will you be payed more for the more intensive labor (Mentally&physically). For example a truck driver compared to a construction worker. Or will you drop that aspect of communism and allow people to still earn more then the person next to him/her. And if so how high will taxation be? A: In reality, it often depends on the circumstances. The objective of the party involves ensuring that the citizens fulfill roles that they desire for non-materialistic purposes. Thus, an individual should function as a doctor for the sole purpose of functioning as a doctor rather than functioning as a doctor in order to accumulate an extensive amount of wealth. Thus, the party would expect individuals to be paid the identical wage in order to ensure that one's labour is "internalized" rather than "externalized". http://aluceromontano.tripod.com/id11.html However, as long as each and every human being is capable of attaining Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education, wages could be divided according to one's internalized labour. Thus, a doctor may earn more than a garbage man/woman as long as each and every human being attains Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. During periods of overproduction, taxation shall be decreased to a simple "income-tax" that involves increasing taxation to individuals with a higher income and decreasing taxation to individuals with a lower-income based on a "five-quintile" class structure. 1. Upper Class 2. Upper-Middle Class 3. Middle Class 4. Lower-Middle Class 5. Lower Class Overproduction results in enacting an "INCOME-TAX" considering that each and every human being shall attain an EXCESS of Universal food, clothing, shelter, energy, healthcare, and education. For example, the production of 100,000 cans/bags of coffee shall provide each citizen with 100 cans/bags of coffee, indicating that a commodity is in EXCESS to the public. However, during a time period of underproduction and underconsumption, the "Income-Tax" shall be abolished in exchange for a "100% Universal Tax" in order for the party to distribute resources a bit more effectively, according to the NEEDS of the people. Q: Your view on marriage? Gay marriage? Beastiality? A: Marriage shall remain identical to the current system, excluding the establishment of the idea of "ownership". Thus, the items that are shared between both individuals or partners within a "legal bond" does not consist of "private property" considering that "private property" shall be replaced with "personal items". It merely involves the elimination of the capitalist idea of "ownership".Homosexuality, alongside forming homosexual relationships and legal bonds, shall be a legal and acceptable act that is supported by The People's Revolutionary Party considering that it is one's Right to Life and Liberty.It shall be illegal for human beings to engage in sexual relations or a legal bond with an animal considering that the animal is incapable of voluntarily consenting to such agreements via a verbal or written contract. It shall be illegal for adults to engage in sexual relations or a legal bond with children considering that a child's mind is not well-developed to form to voluntary decision to engage in either sexual relations or a legal bond with an adult through a verbal or written contract. However, it shall be legal for a sixteen year-old to consent to sexual relations with another individual that is in-between the ages of sixteen and seventeen. Q: It is impossible for a democracy to be present within Communism. In reality, it is only effective within Capitalist systems. What is your opinion on such a claim? A: Communism and Democracy are 100% synonymous with one another considering that Communist serves the interests of the whole while a democracy serves the interests of a majority under Constitutional guidelines. In reality, Democracies are antonymous to capitalism based on the sole premise that a capitalistic system serves the interest of an INDIVIDUAL'S PRIVATE INTERESTS while a democracy serves the interests of a MAJORITY'S NATIONAL INTEREST. Usually, the INDIVIDUAL'S PRIVATE INTEREST involves wealthy bourgeois multi-millionaires and billionaires countering against the political proposals of working-class citizens considering that the MAJORITY of citizens within any given nation is within the lower three quintiles of the financial class-based system. Thus, politicians within advanced capitalist Neo-Liberal democracies often serve the interests of the top two dominant quintiles despite possessing a majority population of the top three lowest quintiles. In other terms, the Neo-Liberal advanced capitalist bourgeois-state serves the interests of the wealthy via capitalism while neglecting the democratic decisions of the public considering that elected officials do not fulfill their promises in public in order to serve the interests of the bourgeoisie/wealthy land owners. In conclusion, capitalism is NOT synonymous with democratic ideals while COMMUNISM is 100% synonymous with Direct-Democratic ideals. Q: How shall the P.R.P. provide 300-1000 citizens with free housing? A: The taxation system shall ensure that each and every single human being is capable of residing within a two-bedroom apartment, regardless as to whether the state is in the "Income Tax" stage or "Universal/Revolutionary Tax" stage. Q: How shall a "Direct-Democracy" be formed within the state? A: The people propose ideals and and vote on the proposition in order for The People's Revolutionary Party to review whether the proposition is "CONSTITUTIONAL" or "UNCONSTITUTIONAL". If the Law or policy is Unconstitutional, it shall be REJECTED by the representative of the party. If the Law is Constitutional, it shall be accepted by the representative of the party. If the representative ACCEPTS an Unconstitutional policy, the representative shall be overthrown by a COMBINATION of the PARTY, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, AND PEOPLE for enacting an Unconstitutional Law and committing an act of "Unconstitutionalism". If the representative REJECTS a Constitutional policy, the representative shall be overthrown by a COMBINATION of the PARTY, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, AND PEOPLE for committing the offense of "Misrepresentation".

    The "Left-Hand Mafia" shall be recruiting individuals that are willing to fulfill the interests of a specific UNDISCLOSED political party in exchange for WEALTH, LUXURIES, AND FAVOURS. The RANKING system usually determines the amount of profits that a member shall receive. The percentage of profits shall be determined in the future... the ranks consists of the following: 1. The Left-Hand: The "Left-Hand" functions as the absolute leader of the organization. In the process, the "Left-Hand" is INCAPABLE of disclosing or revealing his or her government name to the public in order to ensure that the "Left-Hand" is not a target by government authorities or private organizations. Thus, the "Left-Hand" remains unrevealed and unknown to each and every member of the mafia-organization, EXCLUDING The Five Fingers of The Left. "The Left-Hand" is capable of engaging with each and every member of the organization. However, "The Left-Hand" CANNOT reveal his or her role as the leader of the organization in order to ensure that the organization remains secure and stable against any opposing third-party state or non-state organizations. 2. The Five-Fingers [of the Left]: The "Five-Fingers [of the Left] are "The Left-Hand's" elite-minded advisers with the second-highest status within the organization. Usually, each finger represents the support for "The Left Hand". Otherwise, "The Left-Hand" would cease to function effectively. Each member is classified with their own nickname in order to ensure their confidentiality within and outside of the organization while possessing unique RANKS and ROLES that contribute to The Left-Hand Mafia: A) The Thumb: The Thumb is the dominant so-called "finger" within the organization that generally functions as the "Second in-command" of the organization. Hypothetically, if "The Left-Hand" is assassinated, disposed, resigned, or deceased due to natural causes, The Thumb shall function as the NEW "Left-Hand" of the organization. The thumb shall be DECAPITATED if it fails to abide by the guidelines of "The Red-Hand" or discloses the IDENTITY of EITHER THE FIVE FINGERS or "THE LEFT HAND" to ANY other individual within the entire world, resulting in replacing the thumb by another member that is appointed by "The Left-Hand". One must note that mentioning either individuals' identities is NOT an issue as long as their names are NOT connected to their RANK within the organization. B) The Index [Finger]: The "Index" [Finger] is third in command within the organization. The identical penalties applies to the "Index" [Finger] regarding the disclosure of The Five Fingers' [of the Left] of "The Left-Hand's" identity. C) The Middle-Man [Middle-Finger]: The "Middle-Man" or "Middle-Finger" is the fourth in command within the organization. The "Middle-Man" or "Middle-Finger" may secede "The Index [Finger]" if the subject is assassinated, disposed, resigned, promoted, demoted, or deceased due to natural causes. The identical penalties applies to the "Middle-Man" or "Middle-Finger" regarding the disclosure of The Five Fingers' [of the Left] of "The Left-Hand's" identity. D) The Ring-Man/Ring-Finger/Ringer: The fifth in command within the organization. "The Ring-Man", "Ring-Finger", or "Ringer" may secede "The Middle-Man [Middle-Finger]" if the subject is assassinated, disposed, resigned, promoted, demoted, or deceased due to natural causes. The identical penalties applies to the "The Ring-Man", "Ring-Finger", or "Ringer" regarding the disclosure of The Five Fingers' [of the Left] of "The Left-Hand's" identity. E: Pinky/Smalls [Finger]: The sixth in command within the organization. Pinky/Smalls [Finger] may secede "The Ring-Man" if the subject is assassinated, disposed, resigned, promoted, demoted, or deceased due to natural causes. The identical penalties applies to the "Pinky/Smalls" or regarding the disclosure of The Five Fingers' [of the Left] of "The Left-Hand's" identity. 3. The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen]: Thirteen members that are appointed within the council in order to function as the advisers of "The Five Fingers [Of the Left-Hand]. Usually, The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen] tends to function as the elitist members of the organization with the ability to interact with the "The Five Fingers [of Left-Hand]". Thus, The Left Hand and Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen] usually discusses the affairs of the organization in order to present "The Five Finger's" orders to the "Officers" (via the MESSENGER) The council cannot disclose the identity of "The Five Fingers" OR The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen] to any member or non-member within the map. However, disclosing their identities is not an issue as long as subjects are not revealed to be connected to the organization. The council is capable of ELECTING one member of the council if "The Five Fingers [of the Left]" requires another "Pinky/Smalls" through a democratic vote. 4. The Messenger: The messenger transports the information from "The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen]" to the officers... Nothing more, nothing less. The Messenger is usually classified as a former dedicated "Officer" that deserves to attain a large amount of wealth after dedicating their entire life to the organization. In other terms, it is the "easy job" after functioning as a veteran member of the organization. The entire organization merely consists of ONE MESSENGER in order to ensure that the CONFIDENTIALITY of "The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen] remains secure. The Messenger shall be executed if it discloses the name of an individual and their connection to the organization. For example, the Messenger cannot state "Christopher Wilson is a member of The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen]!" to any member or non-member of the organization. However, the Messenger merely delivers the message... 5. The Treasurer: Responsible for presenting the organization's profits, losses, funds, distribution of funds etc... to The Messenger. Usually, The Treasurer attains the profits from the officers prior to presenting the profits to the messenger. The Messenger is expected to disclose the profits to "The Left-hand Council [of Thirteen]" while "The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen]" discloses the profits to "The Five Fingers [of the Left-Hand]". Finally, "The Five Fingers [of the Left-Hand] discloses the profits, losses etc... to "The Left-Hand". The Treasurer does NOT regulate the WEALTH of the organization. However, it is the individual that REPORTS the information to higher members of the organization. Any MEMBER that conducts theft on the organization's currency shall be assassinated as soon as possible. 6. Officers: Thirty-three officers are appointed by a combination of "The Five Fingers [of the Left-Hand]" and "The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen]" in order to abide by the orders of The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen]. In the process, officers possess the ability to control their own "family" that exists under their last name. For example, James Taylor would form "The Taylor Family". Thus, the Officers are capable of forming their own unique orders as long as it does not interfere with the orders of "The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen]". Otherwise, the Officer shall be executed by the organization. 7. Family Member: A regular member of the organization. Usually, the Family Member is expected to respond and abide by the orders of their Officer. Failure to abide by the orders of an officer may result in disciplinary actions that are devised by the Officer of the family. The family member is expected to classify themselves as a member of their respective family. For example, Tony Smith is a member of "The Taylor Family" (governed by Officer James Taylor) in order to be classified as "Tony 'Taylor' Smith". The identical scenario would apply to Mario Machiavelli as a member of "The Washington Family" in order to be classified as "Mario Washington Machiavelli". Each "Family Member" possesses numerous roles that could be fulfilled throughout the organization. The roles may include: robber, arsonist, extortionist, assassin, thief, kidnapper, espionage agent etc... any role that one could imagine as long as it contributes to the organization. 8. Recruit: The lowest member of the organization that is often expected to fulfill numerous tasks for family members and officers until the officer deems the recruit to be a suitable member of a specific family. Each and every member of the organization shall be capable of fulfilling any role that their character desires. However, each and every member must abide by the hierarchical structure of the organization. In other terms, the recruit must abide by the guidelines of the family and officer, the family members must abide by their officer, the officers must abide by the orders of the messenger, the messenger must abide by the orders of "The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen]", "The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen] must abide by the orders of "The Left-Hand", and "The Left-Hand" must abide by it's.... you guessed it... the undisclosed political party that had FORMED the entire organization since DAY ONE. Each and every member shall attain profits according to their ranks and roles within the organization considering that the organization intends to assert it's dominance throughout the map. The political party shall not claim ownership of any of the mafia's possessions etc... However, the party shall be expected to attain 50% of the ENTIRE organization's profits. In the process, the organization shall attain an extensive amount of favours from political leaders, Lawyers, doctors etc... within the city. It shall be worth one's efforts... PROFIT AND FAVOURS. UNIFORM: During important meetings, members are expected to equip a black or grey suit on to their character with a red shirt. However, members are not expected to equip a suit on to their character during the majority of their daily activities considering that it would preserve the CONFIDENTIALITY of the organization. Codes: Each and every member, depending on their rank, shall be presented with a set of CODES in order to ENSURE that the individuals are a member of the organization. The codes of a member of "The Left-Hand Council [of Thirteen]" shall possess different codes compared to an Officer etc... Any disclosure of such codes to another ranking member or non-member shall be executed considering that it would result in undercover officers or a third-party organization infiltrating the organization. "False-claiming" is NOT acceptable. (P.S. The mafia shall clearly BEGIN as a small organization until the organization consists of a lot of members)

    Hello my name is Thomas Hetch and I am running for governor. I am the founder and CEO of a unnamed security company I think it is important that I should be elected governor because I believe that we need a safe, fair, and prosperous state. Since I know how to run a business I can use the economy to our advantage. If you want proof of how successful Hetch Tech is then you will see when a new branch come to Ash Hill. I think that all races, sexual orientations, religions, and political statuses should be welcome with loving arms in this great state. If you have any ideas or questions then just tell me in the replies. Thank You and don't be afraid to be heard and vote. Last of all my slogan is if you have the ability to help then you have the responsibility to help. This means that if you have a lot of money the you should donate a fair share of it to a charity. My platform right under this. Thanks, Hetch

    I kind of found the OP's argument a bit silly. So let's say you did rob a bank, sure. Now what are the odd's you're going to get away? Well, imaginably quite low without at least careful and professional planning. Now let's say you do get away like in your analogy, why would your getaway vehicle consist of an old slow crap-mobile as described? Sounds like you basically want to jump in and straight up get a crap ton of people together to pull off one of the most unorganized heists of all time only lucky to get away and only because there were so many of you. Being able to shoot from your vehicle or not, there are good points both ways. If you can shoot from your vehicle you can have all the advantage both with additional cover, mobility, and the element of surprise seeing as you can light someone up with little to no warning. If you can't shoot from a vehicle people can light you up and disable your vehicle with little to no ability to retaliate, especially in the case your vehicle is disabled in the process. Ultimately, your best course of action would either be to flee and hope for the best or position your vehicle just right so you can jump out to cover; Ultimately, this makes people seriously consider their options before shit hits the fan. Now the only way I can see this function working fairly is if it was purely suppressive fire, as in there is little to no accuracy when firing from a vehicle BUT of course still with a chance to hit your target giving them all the reason to get out of the way. Anyway, I imagine the function will be capable of being toggled on or off for private server's who have a seriously enforced role-play community. You have to remember, the official server's aren't meant for serious role-play. In the end, your planning is horrible. Basically it entirely consists of shooting your way out of every situation and hoping for all the advantage, when that's not how things work. Oh well, all the power to you I guess. In the end, just know who you are.

    I dont see it as any creapy religious way, but since the game are not out, and no alpha/beta then the only thing to do are either belive in it, and support it with a pledge, or dont belive in it and dont dont pledge then. Its really not that hard. If you have any doubts about it, then dont pledge, if you cant afford it atm. dont pledge. But if you can and will support it and belive in it why not pledge then ? Whats so creapy religious about that ? Do I belive in the devs on this game, yes Do I know when they will release anything, no (but I trust they will, soon as they will think its ready for public views, im not in a rush, its better that they get it right then release something that are awfull). And im sure the devs invested far more in to this game than any of us players have done.

    I don't think there's any amount of times we can try the whole communism thing until we get it "right". We don't live in a Utopian society, and if what you're trying to accomplish is bringing the power from the government back to the people, then you sure as hell don't do that by giving more power to the government. This seems all totally contradictory to me, that you state in one post that "the government is just a puppet of the people", then at the same time you give the government body the power to control completely the direction of the state economy through seizing the means of production, and destroying the free market. You have to understand that this system BREEDS corruption. It gives too much trust in the leaders of the communist party at that given point to make all the decisions in the favor of the people, and not some other conflicting interest.

    I just have personal objections to the philosophy behind communism that's honestly not going to change from a conversation on the forums. Also, I haven't seen one real world example where a communist state did NOT turn completely totalitarian with massive suffering of the people. When the whole idea of communism is behind rejecting the sovereignty of the individual (Marx), what stops the communist state from inflicting any amount of oppression and violence on the people in the name of the collective good?

    I'm not sure if I'm reading things wrong but the way some people talk about the developers of this game seems to be creepily religious. I don't think faith is something you need when it comes to video games especially if you're pledging pre-release. You should probably be thinking critically at that point.

    I believe that Lucius is correct in several ways in regards to how not everyone ends up equal. One major reason why communism never worked is because we as a species can never have true equality in the sense of money and capitalization. It's just not how the world works or how we as people work. We can try to our best to allow everyone to benefit from one another, but that really depends on your ability to be a leader and allow to establish fair laws and taxes across the board.

    Hello everyone. I have recently seen an interesting and educational video, which I will share here. It is very important that all future first responders (police, fire and ambulance) drive carefully when responding to calls. On numerous occasions while playing some Arma Life mods, I have seen police officers cause accidents due to a total disregard for the safety of others. I will definitely be applying the techniques learned from this video when I am responding to a call in my ambulance. Future Identity Paramedic, Zulnex

    I kind of hope there's a written DMV driver's test before being permitted to move on to your driver's course, either automated or handled through DMV associates. I could probably settle as a DMV driver course instructor for those who have sat down and passed the test. It would both be educational and improve role-play.

    Eh, I don't disagree with you on this one. However, it does lose your party credibility when you can't use proper grammar. Well, you got the basic idea. The bigger picture (still basic, but bigger nonetheless) is that communists look to destroy the free market by seizing the means of production, as well as taking away equality in opportunity and replacing it with equity in outcome (and this generally results to people starving to death because they are all equally dirt poor). I don't mean for you to take this harshly, but I really didn't lose much. The views of your party are pretty much completely non-parallel to the views of what the NIF's was. You clearly didn't do your research on what the NIF stood for before coming to me for a "collaboration", so I'll post a quote from a previous NIF-related thread: Also, you seem to have a severe misunderstanding of what being a "nationalist" means. It's not this identity-politics crap. It's understanding the inherent danger of immigration from certain parts of the world in very specific qualifications, as well as defending the safety and rights of the people.

    I have faith, but actions speak louder than words. Early Access games have had a bad track record ( i hate the whole concept tbh ) I'm giving these devs more and more chances. A simple video was delayed multiple times. I rely on other people to make my games that I like, I understand I am not a dev, but the fact that I have been let down multiple times, in this case, I would like proof we aren't being lied to. ATLEAST understand where I'm coming from here, most of us here have justified views on this game's outlook and the devs.

    @Notic3 @MrClark @ZanderiusMaximus Guys, the next video will be on "gun mechanics" which will be out before the module but also delays means nothing get rushed or half finished, yet the module is said to only have a few more things until it is ready and I am sure there will be a video and an announcement saying when they will release it. I may have patience like you guys but I have faith in the devs, do you? If you do then no need for posts about it.

    Either you're just misunderstanding what you've read about the party or you can't read! The party provides no favors for any businesses, doesn't exploit any workers, has the fairest tax system, etc! Now what I feel you're trying to mention are the organizations that have gotten together in support of my campaign and fall under the system I set up! That system is a separate business that my manager handles, from what I designed the companies just work together in order to aid each other! I'd gave them some ways they could make more $ as well with their members! All of that has nothing to do with the government of my party!

    I hope so, I don't think doors will be reached out and open because we saw doors being opened in the housing video. They might add it in time. I don't think it will be possible to walk around in buses, for 2 reasons, The main one being buses are tiny and there wouldn't really be anywhere to walk to anyway. The second one being it would be hard to make it not glitch out. I think that your character will probably turn the ignition but not pull a key out, and click the unlock button and stuff like that as it is a bit too complex.
