SO, IF YOU PLAN TO MURDER 5 PEOPLE YOU MIGHT WANT TO BE PROSECUTED FOR ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME. MURDER - 1 Hour THEFT OVER $5000 - 1 Hour THEFT BETWEEN $1000 & $5000 - 45 Minutes THEFT UNDER $1000 - 30 Minutes POSSESSION OF ANY ILLEGAL DRUGS - 30 Minutes ANY ACCOMPLICE ACTIONS OF ANY CRIME - 15 Minutes Five Characteristics of a Lucious Times Economy The main features of a Times economy are as follows: (a) Factors of production are owned by the individuals. (b) Every individual has freedom to start business of his own choice. (c) All economic activities are guided by the motive of profit. (d) Individuals are the owners and acquire property and pass it on to next heir after death. (e) Government has little role to play in the functioning of the economy. Prices of goods and services are determined by the market forces of demand and supply. Important Business Information Tax on businesses is 10% on company profit. After employees have been paid, inventory bought, etc. Depending on what the company reports as profit a business could nearly have no tax! The Tale of Lucious Times Lucious grew to be homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. In a city of crime Lucious had to be on the lookout at every turn. In Lucious' young life he grew to be very aware of the crime filled city and knew he had to do something to ensure his safety. At 15, Lucious started an organization with a few neighborhood boys called "The Peacekeepers". These boys were brutal. They cleaned the streets of crime in the most direct ways possible. Showing up to criminal hideouts and wasting away every member present, making fake visits to prisons and jails to poison and eliminate those criminals on the inside, making appointments with the LAPD to let THEM know how things would be done. The Peacekeepers were vigilantes at the finest. The city soon had a crime rate so low new schools were being built and more people migrated to the lovely city of Los Angeles. Through all the harsh deeds The Peacekeepers had done Lucious never was present for the actual action. He was the mastermind, the planner, the brain of the whole operation. Sitting behind a desk as leader of The Peacekeepers. Oh how things looked great! Lucious had made something out of nothing and became a city icon and hero as he grew older. Though soon, things made a turn for the worst. Lucious' closest partner, his beautiful fiance was capture by a man known by the name Gustavo Fring. A now well-known high profile methamphetamine drug lord. He did so because by cleaning up the city Lucious made distribution for Mr. Fring come to a complete stop in the area. Lucious grew furious, so furious he began to walk into a whole new light. The Peacekeepers became a weapon at Lucious' disposal. He thought long and hard and then finally had a plan. After finding where Fring was located Lucious and his team of over 200 men approached the location, guns loaded and ready for anything. However, Fring was already aware of Lucious' presence and decided to retaliate. Fring killed Lucious' fiance, then sent out total war upon Lucious and his men. In the end only two men were left standing; Fring and Lucious. After few words, Lucious caught leverage and killed Fring. Though Lucious was severely injured by gunshot. He called the LAPD. With quickness, Lucious was saved and had chance to speak with the LAPD Chief of Police. He thanked Lucious for his doings and after a long conversation of tears the chief left. Lucious began to realize how much he'd loss. All his men, his fiance, his hold on the city from crime all gone! Three weeks later Lucious walked out of the hospital, grab all $789,211 he'd raised with his people, and began to leave town for a new home. A place called Turtle Beach on Identity Island. However, when he got to the town line he found something waiting for him. Over half the city was standing their with gold-colored gold-scented candles. Some of them stood to give thanks, but many stood ready to follow him wherever he went. A woman by the name of Dorris Jean approached Lucious and told him this: "We give these candles to represent who you are to the city. Forever will you be the gold we all love, the gold we all know has provided, the gold we all know will pay the price. For to us you are a leader and friend. For you have become like royalty in this city. And with you royalty we be your royal family." Lucious was proud. All negative feelings previous washed away. Lucious now felt the obligation to continue to lead. For he knew he was wise and could give great leadership. This time he wouldn't limit himself to the leadership of a groups of boys who run a city, no. That was below him now. Now he needed to lead in higher heights where he could have greater impact and influence. A position of power such as Governor would do the trick! So he then decided to venture into the political field of leadership once he arrived in his new home. A few hours later after a celebratory evening Lucious and the now called Royal Family left. 12 days later they arrived in Turtle Beach on the Identity island and the rest is soon to be foretold...

2 pointsDISCLAIMER: Everything in this post is a concept and will not reflect the finished business plans and features. Welcome to the Velocity Logistics business plan. We are a logistics company that will strive towards building a solid and stable logistics core in a domestic and commercial way. Our aim will be to tackle our clients needs by offering them logistical solutions. The services that we will provide will range from, but are not limited to: ➤ Supply Chain Management ➤ Document Courier Service ➤ Logistical Solutions & Advice ➤ Home & Office Removal Service ➤ Commercial Delivery ➤ Domestic Delivery ➤ Specialty Delivery ➤ Heavy Haulage For more information, see "Future Technology" section of the post. (Video created by @Zebra) At this time as we do not have a feel for the games economy or market. So the financial department has decided not to release pricing until the games release or until more information is released about how the games economical systems may work. Below is the Start-up Cost sheet as of now for Velocity Logistics. These are subject to change due to the variability of costs in game. These are just estimates and does not include a pro forma (projected) profit and loss statement or a pro forma (projected) balance sheet. Those will be added after the economy in-game has been flushed out properly. Anyone looking to invest should contact @MichaelPayne or @VelocityLogistics. - Andrew, Financial Director This vehicle will be used for everyday delivery for both domestic and commercial operations: This vehicle will be used for high-priority & express delivery, again, for both domestic and commercial sectors: For heavy haulage, long distance and larger cargo, the vehicle shown below will be used: For commercial and domestic removal service, including homes and offices, the vehicle below will be used: To ensure that there is no delay in our operations, we have decided to implement our own maintenance division which will include these vehicles shown below: The future technology section is to showcase our ideas for future mods for when mod support is added in Identity. Whether it be vehicle technology or a pseudo global warming mechanic. See below for some of our current ideas. The above images show a custom in-vehicle operating system that allows the driver to log in with their unique credentials provided to access an array of custom features including delivery schedule, navigation maps, important updates from HQ, panic button, SOS breakdown recovery (and more). We would also like to implement a custom "Start/Stop" system, acting as a type of AFK mechanic. So if your vehicle is left unattended or idling for more than 15 seconds, the engine will cut off and then will automatically resume when the accelerator is pressed. This will save fuel and add immersion. Here is the PDA that we plan on using for our drivers when they are delivering goods. Our warehouse will be modern, in a vast and easily accessible area to meet all of our storage and operational needs. Exterior: Interior: This is our high detailed warehouse plan, it was made with full efficiency and productivity in mind. We took numerous hours to plan and assemble the blueprint. See numbered legend for specific details on each room. The office building will be the back-bone of our company, so we want to make sure it's comfortable and stylish for our employees. Exterior: Interior: Here at Velocity Logistics, security is of the up-most importance. So it is vital to us that we keep our customers belongings and logistics safe. To ensure this all employees will have a ID card for access to our warehouses and offices. The plan I have envisioned for Velocity Logistics is a consistent and efficient security procedure which will allow for smooth operations in any situation. Now I know that data protection is a very worry-some topic among businesses, so here at Velocity Logistics, all of our data centers will be kept securely in an isolated room with 24/7 surveillance and if that isn't enough, all electrical devices will have anti intrusion software which changes it's algorithms to match whatever type of cyber attack is happening. As stated above, all the employees will be given a special key card, with higher authority allows access to more places. Our warehouses will be fitted with hidden CCTV with facial recognition. As for our delivery vehicles, they will have GPS tracking integrated inside, as well as alarms. - Jin, Security Director Our uniform will be sleek, modern and comfortable. In addition it will be practical for all our staff. The full list of all our current partners may be viewed on our website here.

2 pointsWow, what a month. It's been busy here at Asylum as usual, so let's get down to the interesting stuff! As expected, our current focus is on the Town Square so that we can get it out to you as soon as possible. We're finalising the interior of the library and art gallery (shared within one building) and adding polish to the environment. Once the clothing store interior is complete following that, the Town Square environment is ready to go. We'll continuously be adding more art after release though; specifically for house furnishings, decorations and clothing. In addition to the environment art, Miroslav (character artist) has been creating all sorts of hair assets which allow us to show hair appropriately when wearing a hat or helmet. This is a big task for him as it means making variations to match the hat options for each length of hair, but in the end it'll ensure your hair always looks as you'd expect when wearing headgear. Hair under a hat; work in progress Right next to the clothing shop you'll find a bicycle store where you can get a sneak preview of some of the bikes you'll be able to ride around in the full Identity release. We showed you a bicycle work in progress last blog post and now you can see the finished result of that below. This image will give you a rough idea of the detail level you'll see in Identity's vehicles. Ridable bicycle With more final systems coming online for the Town Square release, we now have functioning phones. Each player will start with a cellphone, although you'll be able to upgrade it with three mobile OS options available. The phone OS' each have a unique and interesting style. Characters also have a designated phone number assigned when they're created; you'll be able to get a custom number for a fee. These phones work just as you'd expect. You're able to dial up another player and speak with voice remotely. Businesses can even get a business line which, when called, will contact a member of that corporation who's online. Shot from an internal system test: advertising While the art of the billboard above isn't final, it gives you a very good idea of what you can expect in Identity for advertising. That's right, you can really publish messages around the world through billboards and other means. Corporations and those running for government office can purchase billboard space to help get their message out. You'll select a graphical template from a large list of options and then attach a brief message or other customization to make it your own. These billboards can also be moderated by the server operators. There are other similar advertising systems, too. For example digital road signs can be made to show custom messages by the current government. We can't wait to show you more of Identity, and we'll soon have that opportunity with the release of an overhauled website. Those current pledge packages are about to go away forever, and some of the rewards won't be available for purchase again after the new website changes. Also, follow us on our Twitch channel if you'd like to stop in and ask questions of the developers. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday you'll find a few developers playing a random game from 4pm EST to 5pm EST. Ask any questions and they'll be happy to answer on stream. Catch some of Identity's developers hard at work and see how they make the magic happen: we'll be providing development streaming dates and times on Twitter, soon! -- John VanderZwet

1 point(( Anyone is allowed to join, just join in where ever you want and have fun )) *A young girl emerges from a clean and modern apartment. She is wearing nearly everything in black. Knee high boots, fishnet stockings, denim short shorts and a black hoodie. She has silvery white hair with some red highlighted tips. She is wearing a set of black rayban glasses and has various facial piercings with black lipstick and eyeliner on. She walks out of the apartment block and puts in her ear buds to listen to her music. She puts up her hood on her hoodie and begins to walk to the local shop down the road, putting her hands in her pocket and looking down slightly.* *As she is walking across the road near the shop, she is almost run over by someone not really concentrating and on his phone while driving. She begins to swear at the man in fluent Romanian before continuing to the shop. She enters the shop without saying anything to the shop keeper and places a can of redbull and a strawberry lollipop on the counter* "That'll be $3 please" The shop keeper asks. *Without saying a word, Mia places her change on the counter and grabs her items before leaving the shop, back towards home. She pockets the redbull and opens the lollipop, taking the first crunch out of it*

1 pointSo actors win Oscars, musicians win Grammy's, I had the idea of hosting an official community engagement award ceremony on Discord! Below you will find a list of awards. You will all nominate someone for the award of your choice, or choices. If any given person receives more than 4 nominations, they will officially be recognised as an ICA Nominee. In a week or two, I will give you all the discord link and I will present the awards to the nominees who receive the most nominations in each category. List Of Awards ICA Politics Award - For whoever has been most active and engaging in the political arena ICA Business Award - For whoever has put a lot of effort into their business ICA Law Enforcement Award - For the law enforcement agent who has been engaging with the community the most ICA Entrepreneur Award - For the business owner with the most unique and original idea for a business ICA Diplomat Award - For someone who always contributes to discussions in an impartial and respectful manner ICA Support Award - For whoever is always there to answer any questions for anyone ICA Underworld Award - For the most lucrative criminal. Can go to a whole group. The Identity Masters Award - For the all-around best jack of all trades character on the forums I personally would like to nominate the following. @LuciousTimes for the ICA Politics Award @Norway174 for the ICA Law Enforcement Award @JamesLuck01 for the Support Award Please place your nominations below, I hope you like this fun little idea! P.S I think it would be cool to have a set of logos which correspond with each award. Something small that the winners can put in their signature as a trophy. Also one single logo for any nominee runner up. We obviously wont be able to enforce that only winners can wear this badge, but its a cool idea. If anyone could design some small, discreet logos please PM me. Thanks!

1 pointParent's just buy their kids stuff they want then blame it on the creators because they realize they messed up and dont wanna be looked at as idiots so they blame the creators how i always looked at it and will continue, its their game in the end if they add in sex or not who cares its theirs, besides if they did i would do what i do in 3dx ignore it mostly unless it was public then well... i'd be in pursuit of 2 + naked subjects running -3- .... god my job would get so much more difficult if they added in sex to this game

1 pointI'm unsure either. Same goes for the rarity of weapons. But I've heard on a stream you won't be able to spawn in items, even as server admin. You have a lot of control, but nothing to break game balance. No money spawning, etc.

1 pointAs a foundation of the conversation, police will NOT use lethal force unless their life is in danger! We don't want to start a culture of hatred for cops! All officers should be equipped with a necessary firearm for dangerous situations, but any form of police brutality or overuse of their position for their own agenda will result in a loss of their badge. We want our police to be respected and honorable people. We must, the people must and the police must be on their toes to not over step any boundaries that violate the law! That is the duty of everyone!

1 pointWoah, slow down Keys! I agree healthcare needs to be free, we're set on that! But you said doctors will have salaries! I just want to outline how government provides free healthcare and doctors are given salary. If they have salary (from the government) does that mean there aren't any doctors fees? For example, Dr. Han is being paid a set salary of $250,000 per year. It doesn't matter if he has 1000 patients that year or 10,000 patients that year. Because he's already paid no matter what the people need they may enter the hospital and be cared for free of cost! No matter if it's as simple as the flu or as serious as a missing limb!
-
1 pointThat be true! We want to give to those in need! How would we regulate it? Because using taxes means we're using taxes to pay doctors and we don't want doctors robbing the government!
-
1 point@URSAMAJOR03 And yes I support a free market... that's why I wish for private healthcare!

1 pointI'll probably be starting a meth operation like in Breaking Bad lol I'll need some people: 2-4 meth cooks to be cooking meth 24/7 1-3 truck guys to be moving the meth constantly 2-4 guys keeping security and making sure we aren't followed Once we make enough money we can start buying more RVs, more trucks, and bribing politician/police. We're not a gang or mafia we just run an operation for cash$$$

1 pointIts A Great Idea But I Would Say That Contract Killers Should Have A Choice Of Working For Corporations Because That When Businessmen Want Their Competitors DEAD The Idea Is That The Businessmen Pay The Contract Killer money per 20mins So Whenever They Feel Like Killing someone They Just Call The Contract Killer And He Does The Job And Whenever He Kills Someone He Gets Paid More And Plus The Corporations Cant Lose workers Because You as a contract Killer Cannot Accept Any Other Jobs Except Those That Come From A Corporation They Work For And Plus More pay But They Need Reputation If They Want To Work For A Corporation
