Absolutely not, a police officer does not need to pay for the food for every prisoner they arrest, the doctors shouldn't have to pay for their patients. They will be given a salary just like any other government worker. Any expenses will be paid by the government too, but salaries for doctors won't be as high as $250,000

I do not know what kind of fees a doctor would need to pay. It's not as complicated as that. A doctor will be given a salary, much like a police officer. Only difference will be that police officers police, while doctors will provide health care.

Well you have your opinion and I have mine. I have outlined many times where money will come from, I do not believe we should put a price on the life of a citizen. I will not stand by and let someone die because they cannot afford it.

The doctors will be given a salary. Private healthcare practitioners will not receive any governmental funding, they can only secure investments through banks as it is a private practise.

My opinion on healthcare is simple. Using the taxes collected from citizens, I intend on giving free health care to anyone who needs it. Not just someone's feeling ill so give them free painkillers, you will have to pay for the unnecessary things, but major things will be free. If players want to run their own private businesses for healthcare they should be free to do so, but free healthcare to those who need it is a priority for me

I get that it is for testing but even still, that testing period is not irrelevant. We are still gonna lose our victory after 1 day. Ah well thanks anyway

One day? So you we are spending ages to win an election just to be put out of office after a day? Not being disrespectful just genuinely curious.

Not sure, just linking the source of info for @uncannierlink

Certainly; here! (Or see below)

What if you get shot, break a bone, or overdose on drugs? Even still, the developers have said that you can get sick I do believe, so sickness is definitely a thing. Either way, if healthcare isn't needed, I will readjust my tax rate accordingly. I am a firm believer that taxes should be fluid and they should change depending on the need for money within the government.

Thank you for your questions. Schools and universities won't be a built in mechanic to the game, but a few players have proposed that they will buy a building and run a university as a private business for new players. I would like to fund these if they prove successful. Next, if you wanted to make an official investment (one that qualifies you for tax returns) they would need to be done through a bank or the government officially. This method could potentially still be abused, but there would be a process involved. For example, if a bank looks at their accounts and sees that player X has just received a large sum of money from player Y, and he now wants to donate that money to player Y officially to qualify for tax returns, they will know of foul play and this donation will not qualify you for tax returns. It will be something we will work with the banks to achieve. The difference between a small business and a big one is determined by two things. The number of employees you have and the amount of profits you are earning. If you are a business with 3-10 employees and you are turning a profit of $2000 every month, you are a small business. If you employ 25-50 people and you are earning over $10000 of profit every month, you aren't really a small business. Again, these are brackets we will discuss closer to the release of the game. Finally, if you want to make an official charity you must work with the bank you would like to open it with and get approval from the government. In order to qualify as a charity, you will need to be earning a certain amount every year, have a purpose etc. The good thing about this is that anyone can make a small charity for any reason, but if you want to make an official charity you must be authenticated.

Despite what I have said previously I would like a flat tax of 30-40% (it will flow between these depending on how much is needed). With this I intend to run universities, a free healthcare programme (WIP), and more funding for the law enforcement communities. I would also like to include a 10% tax return programme, where if you invest in smaller businesses or donate to charity, you can appeal for a tax return of up to 10%. This will work like this; if I tax you the 30-40% every week, at the end of the month you can apply for a tax return of up to 10% per week. This means if you are paying a 40% tax each month, you could apply for the return for every week, meaning you could potentially earn 40% of taxes back, or basically one week tax free! This is to encourage the growth and investment in smaller businesses to try and boost the economy.

How the heck, I cannot finish that game for the life of me

What would the drug effects be like in game?
JoelKeys replied to Sylar_Harris's question in Tourism <span style='font-size:0.7em'>(Q&A)</span>
I think we have been told that they have good and bad effects, for example one drug might increase your stamina significantly for a while but after it you run a little bit slower for a while, encouraging you to take more of that drug until eventually you are addicted and have to keep using it to keep your speed up. -
Personally I agree with @Sjondefries. I think I would enjoy it a lot more if I had a team of people who played it regularly, unfortunately all of my friends only play it every now and then. My game also has this weird bug where I will launch it and it will be in some weird resolution so my mouse input and stuff is off, but I need to be in a game or I cannot access the settings so I have to quickly fix it in the lobby.

First of all, welcome to the community! Now let's address your questions: As far as I know, your character and businesses will not transfer between servers, however there will be an option to make a duplicate of a previous characters looks across servers so you look the same world wide. Do not be intimidated by the already built businesses. I made my business when the market was already full of other clothing manufacturers, I just made my business unique and had a solid plan as to what I want to do with my business and it became one of the more popular threads, getting over 1000 views. Just be confident and unique. I can see you are determined, so if you would like I can make a marketing deal with you in which you will market for me and I will pay you in money and I will help get word about any business you also want to run. Maybe a marketing firm? Maybe a private health care centre? Get creative! We haven't really heard much about official business structures, I know any models already made are entirely by the owners/CEO's themselves.

So as a (hopefully) major suit design and manufacturing company, I plan on having a prestigious feeling to my brand, I want you to be able to know that a person is of high-class by the fact that they are wearing my product. Because of this, I need a recognisable brand and for that to work I need people to see it. Because of this, I will be offering a business package deal, where if your employees purchase our products through your company, we will offer the company a small commission based on the volume of sales. For example, if we see that your employees are buying our products at a rate of 20 units monthly on average, your commission will be higher than if we are getting 10 units of sales on average. To make this system more appealing to the employees, we will offer the company a discount on those products. So, a £500 suit may only cost £450 if you buy through the company, plus the company may get a 10% commission on that £450, giving them a £45 profit from the sale. If you have 20 employees doing this monthly, that is a potential £900 profit monthly for your business. Because of the high profitability of this agreement, we can only offer it to businesses who follow our T's & C's which can be read below. Terms And Conditions - Your employees may only wear our suits that are purchased using this system for work related purposes. - You agree to pay a one-time-fee of £500 (as insurance that you will promote our system). - The company agrees not to resell our products at any time. - If there is a damaged product, it must be returned to Keys High-End Apparel as soon as possible with a detailed report on the damages. - This system may only be used by employees of the business that is using this system. Let me know below if this is something you think your business is interested in, and we can discuss this further. Thanks.

New employees, new suits, basically trends change and so do the wants and needs of customers. With this package, hopefully employees will want to purchase suits from us more often than not.

Poll - When do you think the Module will be out?

Exactly, you were told a rough date and that is what you paid for. While you should expect a game like this to have delays, you are well within your rights to be annoyed about it. -

Poll - When do you think the Module will be out?
JoelKeys replied to njayminsim1115's topic in The Town Square
I think you all need to grow up. To the ones frustrated: The developers are working extremely hard and you need to understand that, so be patient and wait for the updates. To everyone else: You need to grow up the most in my opinion and stop fanboying the game. I have pledged and I am happy to wait since I have other games, however you need to understand that at the end of the day some people can't play anything else and so it is perfectly reasonable to be frustrated that a game we paid for has been delayed. We trusted in Asylum enough to pay them for a promise that we will get the game, more specifically we were told we would get one module early 2017. That one thing that we trusted them to deliver has been delayed, and while I am happy about that as delays generally mean that they are working hard to improve the game, it is reasonable that people are disappointed that the game has been delayed. Not only that, but you would expect that if they cannot release the game, some in game screenshots isn't completely ridiculous to ask for, but they haven't really been doing that either. Honestly shame on the both sides. I am happy to wait and I am also irritated by the little information we get, that is what you all should be like. I am siding with Asylum here as I have been in game development before and know the struggle, so I respect them fully. Clearly the rest of you need to think about supporting them a little more too. -

Hello all. Time for part 2 of my challenge process. If you would like to progress ahead in this, PM me with the subject as "Challenge". I will then give the first ten applicants a word. Once ten people have a word, I will reply to this with the names of those ten. From the second I upload those names, you will all be being tested. This is a negotiation task. The person who collects the least amount of names over a three day period will be eliminated. If you passed the previous task you will have a word reserved for you and will get four days to negotiate. Good luck.

So this is how it works. I would write an extremely detailed description on someone in the following format: Ben was a {insert entire description here} who was from New York, America. Ben decided to go to the shop where he met a builder called Steve. The next person would then write: Steve was a {insert description} who liked to play table tennis. Steve was building an aquarium for the Mayor, Carol. And so on. So you write a description about a character (it can be yourself!) then mention an interaction they have with another character, who someone else will now describe. Make it as long as you like and don't be afraid to include a whole backstory if that's what tickles your fancy! Good luck. I will start off. William was a secretary who enjoyed playing lots of card games at the weekend. {Insert full description here}. William was going for a walk in the park one day when he met Brenda.
