  1. It Is Time

    The guy messaged me on Reddit, I assumed he was just a hardcore role player. Played along with him, dunno if he is a kid or an adult who loves his immersion
  2. A New Server

    Hello. I have a few ideas for a server on Identity. I have ran roleplay servers before, I have owned many DarkRP's and own one now, I have also played on plenty of roleplay servers across many games. Once I play the town square module, I will have even more ideas. If I was to work on an Identity server, possibly with some other people, would anyone be interested in looking at it and possibly playing on it? I know we can't actually make a server to play on, but I could work on rules, applications, governmental branches etc. and a forums. I think I could make a very good server, but if no one will consider joining it there isn't much point. Let me know below!
  3. A New Server

    Sure ill have a look!

  5. H1Z1: Just Survive Roleplay

    Does anyone have H1Z1 and would like to work on a project I am working on? I am of course referring to Just Survive here. My experiment will work as follows. We all log on to a server with preferably low pop. Beforehand, each person will be given a dedicated role, a radio frequency and a set of coordinates. You will also be given a secondary radio frequency in cases of emergency. Basically how it will work is I will act as the leader of a group. We will all log in and be spawned in random locations. That's where the frequency and co-ordinates come in. If you find a radio you can connect to our frequency and you will be able to communicate with everyone else. If you cannot find one, you will make your way to the coordinates. We will take over the area that the coordinates are and you will chose a house. The players/house ratio will be 2:1, however this can vary. You are then free to do whatever you want with that house. You can store things in it and no one will be allowed to take from it. No one will be allowed to enter your house either. Once we are all settled in, you will be split up into your dedicated roles and given a briefing. The roles could improve builders, researchers, scavengers, guards etc. You will try and stick to your roles however if you are a researcher and want to go chop down a tree, you obviously can. Likewise if a scavenger wants to build himself something he can, its just not his dedicated role to build for everyone. We will then try and maintain a dictatorial society in which you will be given tasks and you must complete them to the best of your ability. For example, I might say that the builders need metal scraps so our scavengers will be given their own frequency and sent out to find metal scraps over a designated area. Meanwhile, the builders could be tasked with repairing any damaged fortifications and so on. I think this could be fun. Only rules are you do as you try and roleplay as if this is real, and be mature. Let me know if anyone wants to help!
  6. So 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!
  7. Need A Graphics Designer

    Would anyone be able to make me a few graphics for a Garry's Mod server? Just things like logos, banners etc. I would pay someone but we are on a budget.
  8. Will kids/teens(AGE10-15) play this game?

    Your grammar is too simple to tell what you are saying
  9. Will kids/teens(AGE10-15) play this game?

    Exactly. They will play regardless, so why not accept and welcome them so they have something they do not want to destroy?
  10. Will kids/teens(AGE10-15) play this game?

    Well age does gauge maturity, but age gauges all sorts of things like weight, height etc, but there will always be younger people taller and heacier than older people, Beast just needs to realise that there will always be younger people who are more mature than older ones.
  11. Will kids/teens(AGE10-15) play this game?

    Yes. There will be children in the game. I have hoped that the adults will outnumber children in this game but the contrary is a large possibility. I mean no disrespect and welcome you to the community, but you have made 6 posts and one of them is will there be kids. First of all, people who complain about children or use the word "children" in a condescending way are statistically more likely to be children themselves. I would say you are a teenager who is asking this likely to announce that you aren't a kid subliminally, even though you likely are. I didn't want to bring this up until you rather rudely stated the following: This is incredibly patronising. Just because he had an opinion that didn't discriminate about children means he is a kid? No. Yes, as it turned out he was a kid, but the principle remains. You also later replied: As if he needs some form of approval to be considered by you? Sorry, I don't know if your question was meant this way but it comes off as extremely arrogant and condescending and honestly quite narcissistic. If you are going to talk down to the younger portion of our community at least make an effort to show some maturity yourself by displaying signs of proper grammar and punctuation. I know this reply may seem harsh or aggressive but I truly cannot stand people bullying younger kids online as I have a younger brother myself. As a matter of fact the reason most young people troll and cause trouble is because they are made to feel very unwelcome by the community. If we start talking down to them and saying we don't want them on our servers, then they will start thinking why should they even try and prove their worth when they can get back at us for casting them out? Instead, engage with them and make them feel like part of this community so that they don't want to ruin it for themselves. In conclusion, I do not care how old you are. Younger people are welcome to this community no less than anyone else, its the trolls (regardless of age) who we don't want. Saying you don't want kids because some annoy you is the same as saying you don't want any Muslims because some are extremists. If you want to get rid of a bee's nest in your child's tree-house, do you cut down the entire tree or just get rid of the problem? Just saying, I will not hold this post against you in the future but these posts are the reason many kids are forced to annoy us for fun, because we don't include them in the standard role-play experience. @Numbers, I would like to apologise on BeastWarrior's behalf.
  12. Need A Graphics Designer

    @TheNerdyChef is already helping me out but I might need something else in the near future so I might be in touch!
  13. The Identity Community Awards (ICA)

    Gonna leave this open for another while since we are still getting new nominations, once no one is nominated for a few days then I will tally them up!
  14. The National Socialist Identity Party

    What an... interesting party...
  15. Female Department of Keys

    Hello all. I am happy to announce that I will be launching an entirely new department of Keys High-End Apparel. It is obvious that we are iconic for our suits and men's wear, however a few people have voiced their opinions on the fact that this leaves out the female demographic. This is why, I will be opening a new department. The way to look at this is that the men's section will be like Facebook, and the females like Instagram. Yes, they are very different and are ran by different people, but ultimately they are all part of the same company. I am also happy to announce that @hcnnch will be the Chief of Operations for this department. The structure will now be this. I will be the CEO of Keys High-End Apparel, I will also be the Chief of Operations for the men's department. Hcnnch will be the Chief of Operations for the female department. Hopefully this will expand our portfolio in the future. P.S, sorry for taking so long to write this, it was worked out a while ago
  16. The Identity Community Awards (ICA)

    Is that a nomination for Frank from you too?
  17. The Identity Community Awards (ICA)

    Feel free to nominate him, if he isn't nominated he cannot win!
  18. The Identity Community Awards (ICA)

    Sorry if you are underwhelmed, but there are a few members of the community like yourself and Lucious who are constantly roleplaying and contributing, and I think you should all be respected within the community. Well done!
  19. It's Still Early...ish

    I have an idea! One moment.
  20. It's Still Early...ish

    I love how much you are roleplaying, remind me to make you the chief of justice when I win the elections. I'm joking about winning, I am not that arrogant, but seriously, I must congratulate you on your roleplaying. Have you considered joining any roleplaying servers on Arma 3 or anything of the like?
  21. POLITICAL PEACE

    Law Enforcement Officers
  22. POLITICAL PEACE

    I am inclined to agree with you that only police and other LEO's should have access to weaponry. Even if I do allow guns to be legal, it will be pistols only, nothing more.
  23. POLITICAL PEACE

    Can't say I agree 100% but can I just say how much I respect you right now. You have an unpopular opinion and you said it anyway, that takes guts. Well done for voicing your opinion.
  24. The Peoples Party

    First off, no. I do not intend on running for office. I am providing a party for people who do intend on running for office, who want something unique. Something that stands out, that one grape in a bunch of blackberries. The Peoples Party (TPP) isn't your standard party. Our policies differ from most as you, the people arent our main priority. Do we want you to be happy? Yes, but we would rather ensure everyone is educated and employed before that. You may be wondering why I would say this, and the truth is that I actually care about the success of this island. I'm not gonna sit back and blow smoke up your backsides to get votes, I strive to make my candidates succeed through the truth, not a pretty face. Taxes For some odd reason every party wants to reduce taxes. I am one of the only people to actually want the opposite; to increase them. Now, I know what your thinking. Why would anyone want less money? Well, I intend on using your money to make your life easier. I will take a % of your income which varies depending on your salary. Now yes, it will be alot but hear me out. This % will cover many thing such as free public transport for employed individuals, free legal consultation and most importantly a free healthcare system. If you invest alot into small companies and/or charity you are eligible to file for a tax return at the end of a year, giving you back some momey for your comtribution to society. This tax will also cover any emergency service operative 3 days of food every week. Below is the taxes for salaries. $9,999 > = 7.5% Tax $10,000 - $19,999 = 25% Tax (Potential of 10% tax return) $20,000 - $39,999 = 35% Tax (Potential 20% tax returns) $40,000 - $99,999 = 45% Tax (Potential 35% tax returns) $100,000 < = 50% Tax (Potential 45% tax returns) On top of this, if you own a business then no matter how much you are making, there is a fixed 30% tax rate on your profits (after employee payroll). On any products there is a 7.5% sales tax in VAT. I also plan on removing sales tax during the month of December, and a 50% tax reduction on anyone earning less than $20,000 during the same month. Goals One of our main goals is to introduce committees that anyone in the community can volunteer for. This gives the power to the people, allowing them to voice their opinions and put forward their own ideas to be implemented. We will also have committees dedicated to communicating with prisoners and helping them to prevent themselves from reoffending. I do also want to put in place a programme in which convicts and people who cannot get employment after 2 real weeks can do community service and delivery jobs for me and earn enough to keep them alive. As far as law enforcement goes, I plan to use those taxes to reduce crime rates significantly, giving police and other emergency services a larger yet more controlled budget. Regular patrols will occur, and you should never expect a precinct to have a slow work day. I am open to more ideas but until the game comes out this is all I've got.
  25. POLITICAL PEACE

    Yes sorry I see what you are saying. Any hospital expenses will be paid by the government with no charge to the patient or doctor.
