They're easy to insert into every post. Welcome!!

Germany is a perfect example of economic failure. Before Hitler came about, the Papiermark was virtually worthless. I remember reading (correct me if I am wrong) that it would cost up to 1000 - 10000 Papiermarks for a loaf of bread, depending where you bought it. They literally gave children money to play with because the money was cheaper than toys. They have pictures of guys sweeping money in the streets.. Let me share some of the photos I found. In order for money to have value it must have something backing it like a commodity such as gold. If there is nothing backing the money, the money is virtually worthless. So when Hitler came about, he was fortunate to have an economy in the shitter. He blamed the old people, the mentally handicapped that the state was taking care of, and most famously the Jews for the economic ruin. (He also talked of unifying the states, at the time Germany was broken into little states) Once the nation had someone to blame, they quickly rallied behind Hitler. As the economy grew stronger, money became more valuable because it was being backed by the Gold stolen from the Jews, and Hitler's power increased dramatically. (Hence why a dictatorship is the only government that will work in a life server. It's hard for players to follow many, it's easy to follow one. Separate Subject.) Sorry, didn't mean to ring my academic bell.

I have noticed a lot of hateful comments when new members to the forums are posting ideas. Like it or not, we are all members of a community now. This cannot be done with one person. We strive off of ideas and comments from others. Please do not post hateful or outrageously negative comments about someone or their ideas. Please DO NOT tell them to go play some other game because they want their experience to be similar to another game's experience. Ideas from other games are always used. Just because it is not your opinion, does not mean that someone else shouldn't request or suggest their own opinions. Having said that, negative feedback is just as good as positive feedback. Be constructive with your criticism. Remember that your criticisms can be taken so wrong that a new member of the community may feel alienated and not welcome. I am positive that the devs and the staff members of this community do not want to alienate their players. This is a business and if you truly want to help with your opinions on others ideas, remember that it is a business. Be serious, be polite, and be courteous to others.

A thread was started for this argument.. just sayin.

I don't know why people think this is a gta clone.

I believe in getting what you paid for. I do not believe that the AI factor will cause us any issue. I see this as a standalone life game, the first of its kind. Other games might attempt it, but most cannot compare to the knowledge behind that of MoTown.

There is no realism in that. I think the OP was worried that the fires wouldn't be put out.

I am not here to moderate. Just to facilitate. I drink and I know things.

No debating, just straight up hollering!

Can we not start this here? Let's make an argument post or something where we can fight. I don't want to take anything away from the OP.

I know right? I was talking to MoTown on this very subject today. Wouldn't it be great to get a Beta release during one of these revolutions?

Absolutely not Kickapoo, I was agreeing with you in a sense. I wouldn't dream of patronizing you. I was thanking you for being in agreement with you. Perhaps I should have worded it better. Take for instance the post where you asked JamesLuck to chill. That entire thread is an example of this very post. I think you and I are on the verge of becoming friends. Can you have that responsibility Kickapoo? Can you handle it?

You have good character Kickapoo. Humility is a virtue.

I am not directing the post at anyone in particular. It's only important to remember to be courteous. It's even for the new people that come in. Though we have negative commenters, they do not speak for the rest of us. Thank you Kickapoo.

I usually do my judging on a case by case matter. Take yourself for example. I understand where you are coming from, on the other hand I am not JamesLuck, I haven't given you any reason for you not to believe what I say. Regardless, I could care less if you believe me or not. I know what I've done, and for the people that do know me they would say I have integrity. You don't know me, the same as I do not know you. I know nothing of your life experiences. I choose not to go into detail about a lot of things personal. However the post wasn't intended to be about me, I was merely intending the post to be for educational purposes for those who had not worked in the field. Regardless of what others may do or say, you should not judge a new person by the face of someone else. Just as I will not judge you for the other hateful and discourteous people I've found here. I think you are all waiting, and the waiting is causing you to be irrational. I still have respect for you Kickapoo, until you give me a reason not to respect you.

Yes, you do actually work. Because, what would be the point of collecting a paycheck for no work. Economies survive because money is valued. Paying someone for simply being logged in devalues money which in turn destroys economies.

Why would I lie?

I have spoken to several of my streamer friends. From what I have gathered many are interested, however without a release date in mind nothing is certain. Streamers work off of what is popular at the time. Currently, there is no real dominant game that is taking over, we are in another revolution. That means that most streamers are moving to fall back games until the next community arises worthy of their time. How it usually goes, An Arma 3 community is born. Streamers populate it. They stream new stories for usually about a year. The community makes poor decisions, streamers leave. Or things get stale and streamers leave. When the streamers leave, the content leaves, therefore the general players leave. Now naturally, reign of kings and ARK are fallback games. So they will go to either for the role play. It's a revolving door so to speak. Streamers go where their audiences want them to go. Their audiences get to play with the streamers. When the streamers decide to leave, their audience goes with them, and their audience chooses the next game. This goes round and round.

I expect there will be 3 major communities spring from release. These communities will have the majority of player streamers. Where the streamers are, will be where your good role players are. I am hoping that this creates a new community versus the same old Arma 3 Community, but it is what it is. Arma 3 is the major source of players for this game. We're all friends.. so to speak. We may hate each other in game, but the simple fact of the matter is, we all have Arma 3 in common.

They will come. There are some people that are only interested in out of game jobs. Take me for example, I like managing systems, building them and making them work. I work well with negative feedback. I work even better with positive feedback. The hardest thing for someone to realize is that most legal system jobs were out of game jobs, solely because there is no time to manage the system and play the game. If you did both you would stress out very easily. Life servers, and life games are very dependent on players that are willing to sacrifice game time for system work. All you really have to do is facilitate a community, your members will come on their own.

Well actually there are a few jobs in the community that are considered "out of game" jobs. So let's say you had 2 servers, the 7 player government could easily govern the two servers. There is role play, then actual work.

No of course not. This chart doesn't necessarily represent how things are or how they are going to be either. It's just how they could be.

Hey guys! I'm ChillBilly, but most famously known in Arma 3 Life Mods as Allen Camel. For the past several years I have been playing life servers. My character most always is a lawyer, judge, justice or even the Chief Justice on several popular life servers. I am HUGE into role play. Sometimes I get in too deep with my role play and my character's attitude comes out in real life.. I really hate it when that happens because Allen Camel is such a huge character in the world of cursing. My character is considered in a lot of life servers the father of the legal system. So literally anywhere you go, you will see some of my original work with the legal system. I am looking forward to release and cannot wait to meet all of you so HI! tell me about yourself!

We sure have. How are you doing today?
