@Turaxis, what you're doing is jumping to conclusions that I don't see. No where in there does it state that promotions are automatic (I'm not saying they're not, simply that it doesn't say that). It just says after you progress (doesn't say by what means), more roles will be available to you. For instance, after completing so many tasks, traffic stops, etc. you may be able to apply for Detective. There has to be a system in place for how they get promoted, such as Cheif, Captain, Lieutenants, etc. would have to vote on who they want to promote if 1 position is available and say for instance 5 people apply for that position. Plus the department has to get their top positions somehow when the game first starts. I haven't seen anything that says how that will happen.

@Turaxis, nothing I've said is meant to be an excuse... If it's been known for a long time, then maybe it hasn't been known to everyone. If you have proof of what you're saying to be true, I would actually like to see it so that I may better educate myself on this games setup/coding. Our intentions are not to come up with false statements, but to be prepared for what this game has to offer. Also, you could choose not to correct me/us since the game isn't out yet and things can change or because I choose not to spend an hour or more correcting all of the grammatical errors you make because it doesn't bother me like this seems to be bothering you to much.

You seem very intense about this. Maybe it's possible that it wasn't known how the structure would be with this thread started, maybe we're doing this just in case something changes, or maybe you will have the option to promote on private servers. I don't know all the details about the game just like everyone else doesn't know the details, but I'd rather be prepared for something rather than nothing. Also, I alone am not the one who decides promotions or special team spots on the dept that we've got going. I'm not sure why I'm the one getting singled out here... Maybe if you don't like the thread or the ideas ideas we've got going, you could ignore it in the future? Sorry this thread seems to bother you I guess.

Sure, we do applications. You can send myself or KenBlackout a PM and see how ya do

The developers have stated there will not be any air transportation to make the game more fair. It will also make people explore the island by driving instead of being able to get from one side to the other in just a few minutes..

My grammar senses just went off the charts. Lol Police will be able to pull people over, issue citations, and arrest for criminal offenses. I'm not sure about who will create the amounts for the citations, but I'm sure they'll be realistic. If a person refuses to pull over for a traffic stop (aka failure to yield), it may result in a pursuit or applying for a warrant to apprehend the criminal at a later date. If it's possible to steal a person's car, I believe the license plate and other identifying factors would be able to be entered into a police database as a stolen car. As in real life, if you are found in possession of a stolen car, you're the one held responsible whether YOU actually stole it or it was sold/given to you. There also will be a standard for police departments (or at least the one we're trying to establish, Identity Police Department). Criminal behavior or violating rules can result in demotion, suspension, being fired, and/or jail time.

The developers have stated that cops cannot go undercover unfortunately...

@Dylan_Heisner that was handled well, I'll give you props for that. I apologize that I may have come off as rude/mean.

@JamesLuck01 Thanks! It sounds like the only way to properly make it work is to make it almost like 2 different counties.

@JamesLuck01 does that sound right? So I can be a cop in Server 1 and businessman in Server 2?

If there will be at least 2 official servers and we hold a career position on one server, is it only for that server? For instance, say I'm a Sergeant on Server 1. If I got and play on Server 2, am I also a Sergeant with all the same house, cars, money, etc as Server 1? If so what if a whole police force (or most of it) only plays on Server 1 and not Server 2?

Not at all man. Lol, I was just joking around

I agree. I don't want it to be like a movie where you can't tell if it's a NPC or person. I'd rather each interaction be human. I could see marriage status in game such as if you play the game with your gf or wife or whoever, but to me I couldn't really care either way. Although having joint incomes for a household would make buying stuff easier... @The1TheOnlyGonzo someone who doesn't want toget yelled at but for real, I agree with you.

I'm not sure of the legal field you work in, but I don't believe this to be true... Things either have a copyright or they don't. There aren't levels of strictness. Most companies will not take "credit" because then everyone would do it for free and credit them. These industries are all about money, not credit. Also, games like Identity, have lots of violence and are unpredictable. Companies don't want their films to be around murders or associated with derogatory acquisitions from players because it makes their film look bad and there is always someone who gets offended and sues the person with the most money and usually end up settling for a fraction of what they were wanting because it's cheaper than going through the legal process... IF Identity was as big as you're stating it is and didn't have the violence, companies would be paying Asylum for the advertisement. In addition to that, Identity is not very big compared to mainstream games such as Grand Theft Auto. A big company such as Rockstar sold probably close to 50 million copies of their last game within a couples years of it being released while Asylum has approximately under 12 thousand. Nothing to be ashamed of because this is a whole new style of game, new company, few employees, and a tight budget, but it just seems like you're impersonating a legal counsel without having actual knowledge or having done research.
