  1. Marie-Clare Bouchard For Governor! (FN)

    Only just seeing your campaign thread (it bumped to the top of The Podium list), @FrancePourLaVie! Looks excellent. Although, as @BobbyCruz said (ages ago on July 11th): This is a policy I'm completely against. Whilst I can understand your reasoning, I do not agree with this policy at all. If you're going to allow everybody to freely practice their religion, fully, then it should be the exact same for Islam-followers / Muslims. By placing the ban on the burqa and Islamic face-clothing, regardless of your reasonings; it could be seen as quite discriminatory. I understand that, yes, it would make policing easier, however, there are other ways of identification than simply the face such as fingerprints as one example. I understand that the ban will be set for all religious practices and the ban is not only targetting Islamic clothing, however, it's still quite discriminatory. If someone was walking around with a balaclava or a ski mask, that would be an entirely different story, however, everybody has the right to their own religion and faith, along with dressing accordingly.
  2. Let's Build a Future Together

    2033: A United Nations meeting is held which includes all of the major leaders who devise a plan to cure the current HIV>AIDS epidemic. The best scientists in the world are flown in from across the globe and work together to create a cure. 2034: Within only a year, with the incredible minds of all of the best scientists from across the globe, the scientists were able to find the source of the outbreak and shut it down at its source by spraying a U.N.-approved counterfeit spray around it and other affected areas. Quarantines were also placed until 2038 as a safety precaution. The quarantines were then removed and life went on as normal.
  3. Hi people!

    Welcome to the community, @misterff1! No worries, @Rinyuaru-Kun. I don’t get mad so don’t worry haha. If it helps other people then go for it!

    Glad to have replied and, without wanting to sound rude, really, PLEASE make use of the "Search" bar before making posts like this. I really don't mean to sound rude at all, I really don't but you need to understand that this question gets asked ALL OF THE TIME and creates duplicate posts of the same topic which push other people's threads away. Again, truly not trying to sound rude, I just need you to understand that. If you've purchased the Founder package ($30) or higher, you'll gain access to the Town Square module once it's released to socialise with others and test out some of the things such as the "barbers" / hairdressers and the cinema (which plays real movies) but be sure to help report bugs and glitches too when it comes out! If I was able to provide relevant, helpful and/or useful information in regards to your concern, please leave a "Like" on my post.

    NO DATES HAVE BEEN RELEASED YET! I'm not why I still bother to answer this question since it gets asked so many times each month that I have lost count. Only people who have purchased the "Founder" package ($30) or higher (over $30) can gain access to the Alpha testing of the Town Square module. The Town Square module (which I'm just going to call "TSM" because it's easier) will simply be a SOCIAL module and will allow people to create a character (temporarily it will be limited in customisation, please be patient!) and socialise with other Founders (and higher package purchasers). I also believe that you will be able to visit the "Barbers / Hairdressers" and go to the cinema in this module, however, all in due time. Rome wasn't built in a day and they will be constantly adding to the module once it is released. My advice for you is that, if you can't wait until the full release (dates not yet announced), then purchase the "Founder" package or higher and wait for Alpha access to the TSM. It won't have the entire island in it, only the Town Square (as stated in its name) but it will give you some temporary stuff to do. You should also realise though that there WILL be bugs and glitches since it would only be an ALPHA and the Developers will require everyone's help to report them in-detail so that they know what to fix and improve so don't be expecting to get racing in and doing everything with the TSM. The progress bar is, as far as I know, manually updated. Most likely, there won't be any more progress to the update bar until, one day, it just skips from the current 89% to 100% but hey, I could be wrong. Nobody knows. Please note that, although you said "I've already looked around but didn't see anything here about passing by", if you had used the forum "Search" bar, you would very quickly and very easily notice the insanely annoying amount of times that this has already been asked. Dev Blog There was recently a Dev Blog (click here) which gave everyone an update on how things are going. They recently moved to a new building and they are a very small Development team so they have been very busy and have worked incredibly hard for such a small group of developers. In this Dev Blog (please actually read it after reading my post here, rather than simply saying "Okay, got what I need, don't need to check it"), they said that they are aiming to provide a release date for the TSM in OCTOBER (this month) which means that it could be this week, next week or at the very end of the month on Hallowe'en. Nobody knows. If I was able to provide relevant, helpful and/or useful information in regards to your concern, please leave a "Like" on my post.

    Hey there! Welcome to the Identity Community, it’s great to have you here. I’m Brian, nice to meet you Here’s some links to help you get started.

  7. [ŧ] ŧemper - Recruitment [Closed]

    @thero, you really should have checked out the Forum Rules here. After noticing your extreme-amount of spam, it is very much apparent that you have not bothered to read the rules or to even search for them. As with almost any online forum, SPAM IS NOT ALLOWED! It simply floods other people's posts away and, for that reason, is incredibly selfish and immature. Imagine if you posted something but nobody saw it because other people started spam-bumping their own threads so you couldn't find yours. It would annoy you, right? Don't lie, you know it would. It would annoy anyone so please don't do it. I'm NOT a Moderator or staff member in any way but, as others have said in this thread already, please don't do it. It also makes your "gang" look incredibly immature and unprofessional too. You wouldn't go into somebody else's house and just raid their fridge because it would be somebody else's house, meaning, it would be their rules. They decide what you can and can't do whilst you're in their house. My point being, if you're going to use this forum, follow the forum rules since your spam also seems to have flooded some member's notifications which is unbelievably, even more frustrating. Once more, I'd like to reiterate that I am not a staff member and am, in no way attempting to mini-mod, however, you're still violating the rules and I simply wanted to let you know so that you don't get into any more trouble in the future. I hate it when people get into trouble so I simply wanted to let you know so that you wouldn't do it again, however, you do deserve to get into trouble for your complete disregard of the rules.

    Bringing the thread back! One of my first acts of being Governor, will be working on tackling Gender Discrimination and helping to promote LGBTQ+ rights! Learn more on our website.
  9. Special Agent Zoey Anderson

    “play moderator” when I clearly specified that I wasn’t a Moderator. Why are you trying to argue and create conflict at every opportunity? Give it a rest and quit trying to fight with others. I just want a peaceful community, that’s all. I clearly specified that I was not a Moderator and that I simply didn’t want to see any conflict and there you go progressing it further. You’re part of the problem when it comes to making the community friendlier so give it a rest. If you bothered to read my post properly, I tried being fair to all sides, even Gene’s in regards to corruption, however, I still have a say when it comes to sticking up for others. I stood up for France AND Gene so don’t think that I’m only defending one and not the other. ”in bed with”, are you 12? I’m not ashamed to say that I respect France as a candidate and believe she will be an excellent opponent. I have also brought up the suggestion of a one-day-only partnership to help fight gender discrimination and to promote LGBTQ+ rights as we seem to share similar policies and views on the matter. Some things, like creating a more equal community, are more important than petty rivalries and political arguments. Please mature a bit more and be more considerate. I don’t wish to argue so please stop. You’re not helping anything.
  10. Hamilton Homes

    VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION Hi there! I'm Brian Hamilton, Founder of Hamilton Homes. Who Are We? Hamilton Homes are a Real Estate company, renting out some of the most beautiful and stunning penthouses, apartments and cottages on Identity Island. (Whilst Identity is not yet released, we are unable to provide any images of available homes. See HERE for placeholder images) What makes you so special? Well, we offer a unique service to our residents called "My Home". Allow me to explain further. When a client has decided upon a house and has announced that they are interested in renting it for the pre-agreed price, they will be informed about our "My Home" services which include the following: Local Landlord Contact Information There will always be one of our Hamilton Home Landlords living relatively close (but not too close, don't worry ) who will be in charge of ensuring the happiness and satisfaction of the local Hamilton Homes' residents. Tri-Monthly Check-Up Phone Call from the Local Landlord You can also use the "My Home" section of the website to request a Check-Up Visit earlier if you wish. 24/7 Security 24 Hours, 7 Days of the week. Once you move in, the Local Landlord, whilst providing other information, will provide contact information for the local Security Team area who will be ready to dispatch someone should you, on the very rare chance, need them. You can also request them for both NON-Urgent & Urgent responses via the "My Home" section of the website. Partially-Lenient With Rent Whilst we will always expect you to be ready to pay at the start of each month, we understand that, yes, it's not always possible and sometimes "things" happen and you just need a few more days. We don't want to be "bad guys" who pressure you and threaten eviction which is why we allow residents to give the local Landlord 48 Hours due notice via the "My Home" section of the website. Leniency is dependent on the Landlord's decision. First time postpone requests are always permitted. So, what is this "My Homes" section? In a nutshell, it's the section of the website where residents can contact their Local Landlords via a form and receive useful information if they need assistance. All residents, upon moving in, will be issued a unique number which will be known as their individual "Resident Number" (Resident No.). This is so Landlords can easily identify which house is being referenced and who is submitting a request/support question, however, it also acts as a form of security so that we can tell if the form is being used by a non-resident. Any codes which don't match anything on our records will be automatically drafted to a separate "junk submissions" spreadsheet so they don't get filtered in with the legitimate ones (technology is amazing nowadays, isn't it?) Is Hamilton Homes affiliated with any political parties? NOPE! Hamilton Homes is it's own company. We do not affiliate with any specific political party and are not in any form of relation with The Hamilton Party. I feel that for Hamilton Homes to be truly successful in it's goals (to provide as many people as possible with a home they love), we need to avoid getting mixed in with politics and seeming biased or tied to a specific party or Governor candidate. Where can I find a link to your website? Uh oh, looks like you went past it already. It's at the very top of the thread, under our GIF banner but I won't make you scroll back up. It's here. Got any questions? Please feel free to post below or use our Support Form on the home page of the website. Hamilton Homes will only be fully released and ready once the full game is released and the entire island has been opened. We will mainly operate on official servers.

  13. Hi, LeviStruik. This has already been discussed many times in the past through the community forums here and, if memory serves correctly, it has also been passively mentioned in at least one of the Podcast/Video Interviews with the Developers. You will be able to design your own clothing items and even choose the fabric of which the clothing piece will be made out of. You will then be in charge of hiring a delivery company (players can also get jobs as delivery drivers and start their own delivery companies) to deliver your product to the customer. If the delivery driver doesn't meet the deadline for the delivery, the item will be automatically teleported to them when the deadline for delivery is met so they will never miss out on a product at fault of the delivery company. It simply means that the delivery drivers, most likely, won't get paid / paid fully. I imagine that it will work very much like the painting on a canvas system in which you can send it to a museum/art gallery (or in this case, your store which you can purchase) and people can purchase it. Please note though; you will not be able to work at a register and process transactions as an NPC will be doing that for you. The reason for this is, as the Developers have already stated in the past, it's just not fun. You might think to yourself "I'd love to roleplay as a cashier" but it would get very boring, very quickly. Without meaning to sound rude at all, please use the community "Search" bar before creating posts like these as they have most likely already been discussed in the past and numerous posts on the topic simply create spam and/or push other people's posts (some of which may be new, original questions) away and make them harder to see. If I was able to answer your question and you were satisfied with this answer, please leave a "like" (and on any other posts above/below which answer your question) and click the "upwards arrow" on the left of this post
  14. Firstly, I see that you're still liking your content with your SECOND account (Rules - Please don't, #12). Just saying Secondly, the political talk, debate and unfortunately some arguing, have been quite active these past few weeks.

    Apologies for any harshness in my message. It simply frustrates me to see conflict in this community so I apologise if I came across as rude towards you, I really do. Also, thank you for your compliments. I look forward to speaking with you in the future and I wish you the best of luck too.
  17. Special Agent Zoey Anderson

    Firstly, @GeneSmith, much appreciated. I aim to be the worst that I possibly can be (obvious sarcasm, just in case you didn't get that). @FrancePourLaVie, the "Brian gentleman" would be my lovely-self, whom you have already met previously. Not sure whether to be slightly hurt that you don't remember me or not. Either way, ouch. Okay, let's clear some things up quickly: @Norway174, as a supposed "FBI agent" (even though there will be NO FBI in-game, only police, SWAT and detectives which will be as close as you can get), you're being incredibly unfriendly and making this thread an incredibly uncomfortable one by going out of your way to attack @FrancePourLaVie based on something as stupid as "Reputation Points". Who honestly cares if she only has 14 reputation points? In my personal opinion, she is DEFINITELY qualified to be Governor of Identity Island (temporary island name until one is officially released). She is politically smart, respectful and considerate of other community members and politicians and doesn't go out of her way to create random drama within the community for no reason so you shouldn't either. @GeneSmith, in regards to @FrancePourLaVie, the above also applies to you. Don't start unnecessary conflict. That's not me acting as a Moderator or anything (because I'm not), that's me acting as a politician and a decent human being who just wants the community forums to be a safe and respectful place. I come here for updates and to further promote my campaign and my side-business (for a separate character), not to see stuff like this. I also don't appreciate you randomly discussing me negatively behind my back. @Norway174, @GeneSmith & @FrancePourLaVie, despite my differences with Gene Smith, with private knowledge I know that he is not corrupt. Unfortunately, I cannot disclose further information regarding that but you can class that as my official statement on the matter. Without actual evidence to support these claims, it may be better to avoid making them AT ALL. However, Norway, France has every right to bring up the topic of corruption in relation to politicians and can do so if she feels necessary. If I feel like someone is corrupt, I'm going to bring it up. I wouldn't actually "accuse" someone without evidence, fair enough, but I still have the right to talk about it. Now let's all behave respectfully and considerately. Again, this is simply from myself as a politician and as a community member who comes to the community for updates and business promotions. That's it. I don't need to see any of the conflict. I'm not trying to give any warnings as I'm not a Moderator or anything, at all, but I hate seeing arguing and conflict. As politicians and a soon-to-be member of Law Enforcement and Detective Work, let's all be professional and mature.
  18. Ability to Dump "Bodies"/Manufacture Crimescene

    That sounds great but what if the person who died came back to the crime scene and just stared at their body with the detectives. Wouldn't that be a bit weird? Like a ghost watching over their own body except they aren't a ghost?

  23. Gene Smith for Governor

    Out of respect as this is your thread, I was going to leave the discussion there but if you truly wish to continue discussing it on your own thread then I have no problem with that whatsoever. I've added numbers to each of the paragraphs in the quoted message to make it a bit easier for us both to discuss. 1. I'm sorry that you found it to be "outrageous" whereas I found it truthful and honest. Also, if you would kindly re-read my previous message, this is not an attempt to "smear" your campaign but simply taking advantage of a political mistake which was caused on your part. I'm also going to reiterate that's just how politics work. I know that I'm repeating myself but you seem to have missed my previous statement. Please, turn on the news at home and watch some political debates and how they discuss other party's policies and acts. They use their opponent's weaknesses and mistakes against them. That's exactly what this is. It's not an attempt to "smear" your campaign, it's noticing your mistake and drawing attention to it. I need to know that the citizens of the island know that one of their Governor Candidates has been seen supporting recruitment of criminal organisations. 2. Sorry but I'm really confused on how you managed to turn this situation regarding gang affiliations into a discussion on the LGBTQ+ community and gender identity. However, since you randomly chose to bring it up, I will respond. Sexual orientation and/or gender orientation is not a choice. Take that from someone within the LGBTQ Community and a Support & Guidance worker who has worked with many teenagers of the LGBTQ+ community. I'm mentioning this because of this statement you made: "decides they want to be whatever they choose [sic]". I just wanted to let you know for future reference. I'm not trying to turn this into an argument about the LGBTQ+ community and gender identity, however, you did bring the topic up and I simply wanted to inform you more about it. Also, it is never okay to assume somebody's gender. For many, this can be harmful and upsetting. For the purpose of this discussion, I ask that you do not side-track from the original talking point again as it could very quickly turn from a simple debate to a very hostile and aggressive argument which I always aim to avoid. 3. You are correct; this is the internet and we have no idea what each other are like; only our characters. However, my character is based around me and my personality, just under a different name since I wouldn't reveal my real name online. All of my beliefs are exactly the same though. So if you take a look at my party's website and view some of the things my party and I believe in then you can learn more about me as a person. And that brings us onto topic #4. In addition: I have no real interest in discussing matters relating to @Preston_bodhi_343 and @Calisto as this debate is regarding your political party, views and affiliation with criminal organisations. 4. Lots of people on Identity have websites for their in-game companies, organisations and political parties. I remember @LuciousTimes was asking for some support on making a website too quite a while ago but I'm not sure if they ever got around to it or chose against it. Either or is fine. Some people prefer having websites, some don't. It doesn't matter. Whichever feels more comfortable for you in regards to roleplaying. Plus, having a website allows for things like contact forms and other ways of contact rather than simply a Forum Inbox Message. 5. Apology accepted and then declined. I am "unfit"? I feel that someone with strong views on increasing budgets for the Emergency Services is much more fit than someone supporting the criminal organisations that the Emergency Services, in particular Law Enforcement, aim to defeat. It may be wise for you to retract your statement on that and also your original post on the criminal organisation's thread. However, this is simply a recommendation as it may otherwise prove harmful to your campaign. 6. Repetition of a point which we really should have moved on from by now. I'm not repeating myself again so please read #1 and my previous message. Thanks 7. Sounds fun, let's read: "A cop walks into an old fashioned Italian restaurant because his old friend Sal works there. Sal is part of the mob and everybody knows it." If this isn't a reference to the Italian-based Luprano Family then I don't know what is. "But the cop really loves the old fashioned food that is served there and he misses his friend and wants to check in on him. Does that make him a crooked cop? A corrupt cop? A bad cop? No, it makes him a human being expressing a common interest in another human." Repetition and once more, you haven't read a single word of what I've said regarding this. If you were appreciating Frank's long-lasting activity or any other member of the community, you'd have mentioned them specifically. Instead, you stated that you were "Glad to see the Original Family still gaining members". A statement which clearly shows your support for the criminal organisation recruiting new citizens into a life of crime and troublemaking. I'm not sure about you, but I'd rather not be on an island in which the Governor wishes to promote its citizens becoming criminals. 8. I don't know why I didn't just put this with #7 but I probably felt like it needed it's own separate comment. I'm the last person you want to give a lecture to about kindness, "decency" and "humanity". I'm one of the nicest people you could ever meet in real life and I like to think I am online too, however, if I see that something isn't right then I'm going to call it out! The way I see it is that you're simply panicking because you've been caught out affiliating with criminal organisations and are worrying that it will harm your campaign if word got out further.
  24. Gene Smith for Governor

    I'm going to be perfectly honest since my campaign is all about honesty and being open with our supporters; If another Governor Candidate makes a mistake, of course, like anyone, I'm going to take advantage of it and use the situation to draw support away from them. It's nothing about "smearing" other campaigns, it's taking advantage of their mistakes and drawing attention to it. That's exactly how politics in everyday life works. Try turning on the news every once in a while and checking some of the political stuff there. "Gene has already made it clear he's not affiliated with any criminal organisations" "purposely trying to sabotage his campaign" "false accusations and evidence which amounts to nothing". I'm sorry but did you actually READ the screenshotted post? At all? There are no false accusations. "Glad to see the Original Family still gaining members". That's not an accusation, that's FACT. Mr. Smith DID say that he is glad that a criminal organisation is recruiting more criminals and troublemakers. So, as an official statement, I feel that he is corrupt and unprofessional. You're more than welcome to view an updated version of our policies, acts and laws by viewing our website which can be found in my Signature. Without getting into a real-life political discussion; "stop measuring your dicks". This isn't a Trump/Kim Jong-Un situation. Read my message above, I stated FACT of what happened. From someone who plans to run a prostitution / sexual escort service, I'm not sure how much insight you can provide regarding corruption in political matters. Regardless of your planned employment, I am not and never will be corrupt. I plan to win this race truthfully and with openness to my supporters. Again, it's not about paying respect to the "old family", it's that he's supporting a criminal organisation recruiting criminals and troublemakers". Thank you for your support in this situation, @FrancePourLaVie. To everybody on this thread, including myself, if you wish to discuss this further then you are always welcome to Private Message me or an appointed representative of The Hamilton Party by using our Contact Form on our website. I feel that it would be unfair to Mr. Smith to continue this discussion on this thread however I will leave you with one final statement: If you would like to vote for somebody who supports recruitment within criminal organisations and are too blind to see blatant evidence right in front of your eyes, then I fear for the island and all of its citizens should Mr. Smith be elected and having not changed his ways.
  25. Political Parties and Individuals (Where they stand)

    @Norway174, quite simply, it’s called a joke. Relax a little. You have a scroll bar on the right of your screen which is much quicker than manually mouse-scrolling so it doesn’t take that long to skip through the quotes
