the peoples revolutionary party The People's Revolutionary Party (P.R.P.) [HIRING!]
uncannierlink replied to DLimit's topic in The Podium
Ah. So the party representative can veto anything he doesn't approve of. Why didn't you say that in the first place? Is the party representative chosen by popular vote? Because it's kinda the same problem if he is. Also, there are other ways to violate people's rights than through violence. Look at Jim Crow America. Those people believed everything was perfectly in line.- 147 replies

Could always trade stocks the old fashion way. Gather up a bunch of investors in one place and yell at eachother what you're selling the stock for and what you're buying it for. Of course you'd need companies to go public first.

No, it's not. The law enforcement officers are enforcing the laws created by the majority. The question has no answer, because in your system if the majority wills it, it will be.- 147 replies

You're constitution is not all encompassing. You're adding things as present hypothetical scenarios. Who stops the majority from violating the constitution? What if the minority believes the majority is violating their rights but the majority believes they aren't? Who decides? The majority.....- 147 replies

How much privacy? Do certain people get more privacy than others? What about the right to not be verbally abused? What if the majority classifies a dirty rag as clothing for the minority? I could go on forever. The point is, the majority has too much power. Also, if the people who enforce the laws answer to the majority than what difference does it make if the constitution says one thing or another. When you give all the power to the majority, there is nothing to balance them out.- 147 replies

Yes, but who defines what Life Liberty and Personal Space means? The majority. While maybe they couldn't kill them, they could certainly disenfranchise them in other areas.- 147 replies

I don't see why you need to be able to break into people's houses in order to accomplish your objective through force. Let's say for example two player groups are in a gang war. If one side forces the other to have to hide in their houses and log off for two weeks, that side has won.

They have private servers, so there isn't really a reason not to have some form of mod support.

In a game where you can shoot up heroin and deal crack, I'm sure it'll be possible to smoke.

What is the best career path to choose?
uncannierlink replied to Reprezalio's question in Tourism <span style='font-size:0.7em'>(Q&A)</span>
Most likely illegal activity will have the highest reward, with the highest risk. As far as legal goes, I hear banking is quite profitable... -

Sorry for the late reply. I am not sure where you see all the banks in Identity. I browse the forums daily and this is the only designated bank I know of (there are a few investment bureaus, but their business model is different from ours, they mostly make large-scale, high-risk high-reward investments, while we make many small-scale small reward investments. They give people funds to start mining corporations, we give people mortgages on houses and car loans.) I am not sure how your point about most people being criminals comes into play. Even if they are criminals, they still will have a use for mortgages and car loans no? Even then they will wish to collect interest on their money. As far as the FDIC is concerned, you have a point. However, banks existed for hundreds of years before the FDIC was even an idea in people's minds. Yes, it is more risky, however, why would anyone just sit on their life savings and not collect interest? -
Yes. A mic is pretty essential to play this game. Like @JamesLuck01 said, your best bet is to play on a text chat only server.

The answer to that is to not loan to high-risk debtors. If someone has only played the game for 2 hours, We won't lend to them. We're only going to lend to people who have a lot of time invested in the game. The question is not, "How can we avoid taking losses" but rather, "how can we minimize the inevitable losses" -
You could keep track of the game's history via a wiki. You could maintain one that keeps track of all the different player organizations etc.

3 words my friend: Tyranny of the Majority. What if the majority decides to Lynche members of the other half because they are criminals when they are actually innocent? What if the majority decides to subjugate minorities in order to better their own lives? By your government, the Majority has tyranny. Not to mention the economy will collapse as no one will want to work, as money is useless.- 147 replies

If the police agree to RP and enforce the laws the government enacts, quite literally anything is possible. It all comes down to whether or not the police want to enforce the laws the government enacts. Laws are meaningless without someone to enforce them.

Given that there is a fair bit of world building already done in Identity, I figured I would write a story about the daily life of my character Carpe Pecuniam. It will most likely be a work in progress that I'll add more to as i'm inspired to do so. Anyway, here goes... My days always begin alone. I wake up in my queen size mattress, with no wife or girlfriend, while this bothers me to a certain extent, It is quickly pushed to the back of my mind. I'm married to my company, there is always time for that later. Dollabank has been growing incredibly quickly since it was first founded. With somewhat of a rocky start, the company was now seeing it's best days. Being the biggest cash cow on the market, I had more responsibility than ever. I needed to make sure everyone from my clients to my investors and especially my employees were all happy. My penthouse, while appearing luxurious to the working class, was actually quite small compared to the other monstrosities that some richer friend's of mine owned. It consisted of a humble living room with a beautiful Bay Window display overlooking the city. This area contained an open kitchen complete with a gas stove, dishwasher, refrigerator and an empty liquor cabinet. The floor was soft bamboo, which easily connected to the hardwood floors of the rest of the house. A marble counter-top lay upon the the open wall of the kitchen, with a few mahogany stools on either side of the fixture. Connected to the living room were two bedrooms to the north of the penthouse and a bedroom and a bathroom on the south side. As i made my usual Tuesday morning breakfast, a 4 egg omelette with chives, french bread, microwave sausage and orange juice, I glanced over at my stove clock: 8:30. It sure is good to be the boss, I thought to myself. Had this been earlier in my career working for JP Morgan I would have to be rushing out the door in order to wait in traffic for an hour. Nowadays, while I pride myself in my diligence and work ethic, I do take a few liberties. If I arrive to work 10 or 15 minutes late, it won't bankrupt me. Locking up my penthouse and taking the elevator down, I find myself with a familiar stranger. We are both wearing a Keys brand suit, so I decide to strike up a conversation. "That suit fits your form really well, was it tailor made?" "Are you hitting on me?" The man replies, rather upset with the homosexual advance he imagined I was making. "Nevermind." I stated quickly, not wanting to invoke any other false allegations. We awkwardly avoided eye contact until the elevator doors opened and I thought I would finally be relieved from the discomfort. This however was not the case. As the man and I both drove to work we have the pleasure of each others and eye contact avoidance until we at last entered the garage and parted ways. I thought saying goodbye or making a remark about seeing him tomorrow, would be appropriate, however given the probability that he would most likely perceive the remark as a homosexual advance, I thought better of it. Given that it was Tuesday I decided on driving my BMW, the other two choices being my much older Rolls Royce, and my newer, midlife crisis (even though I'm in my 30s), Lamborghini. I drove my BMW on Tuesdays through Thursday given it's higher fuel economy, the other two cars I mostly use for board meetings (and Mondays) and night my night life respectively. My drive to work was uneventful as usual. I flipped through the radio stations and decided on 44.3 Outlaw. It was mostly advertisements for the upcoming election, I took a mental note of some of the candidates, but I wasn't paying too much attention. On my route I did pass by the DollaBank billboard I just made a payment on. My father being a billboard salesmen, it filled me with a sense of pride to see my company's brand being elevated on a pedestal above a major highway on a glorious, white billboard. Even if it wasn't the most optimal way to advertise, I still feel it was worth it. When I finally arrive at my office at 9:40, it was a hectic mess. That is to say, it's usually a hectic mess and today was no different. Anyone who says finance is boring has never worked for me I chuckled to myself. I find it therapeutic to sometimes just stand at the entrance and watch my employees work. As my eyes shift from one to the next, watching them all work hard to complete their daily assignments, I find myself reflecting on how far my company has come. I started DollaBank when this city was just beginning, with only a few employees. The fact that over 50 were working for me now, and it's only been 2 years, it's unbelievable. "Mr. Peciuam, phone call for you." I'm snapped out of my daydream by the caring, yet urgent voice of my secretary. "Sorry about that Lynda" I said. "Put them on speaker in my office, I'll be there in a minute. Did you catch who it was by any chance?" "It's The People's Party, they want you to support them in the race and donate to their campaign. Also try and make it quick, there is a representative of the Langston Family in the lobby" "What?" I croaked, in a manner that failed the convey the anger, confusion, and fear I felt upon hearing that name. "Can't a lower manager tell them to leave? It's against policy for us to involve ourselves with organized crime, not to mention highly illegal. They have no business here, I've been refusing the mob since I first set up shop" "They're refusing to leave unless they see you personally and are saying that, 'we'll make you an offer you can't refuse'" Lynda said this last part in a horribly fake Italian accent. I always wondered how she could take matters involving millions of dollars so lightly. To Be Continued..... Will Post Part 2 Tomorrow.

Revolution and political power
uncannierlink replied to Mori_Tomokata's topic in Ideas & Suggestions
If The government has control over the police force, who is in charge of enforcing laws and will be able to jail and ticket people, they do have absolute control. However if the police department stages a coup, he will be depowered. The most powerful organization is the police. Whoever controls the police controls the laws. The governor could have police guarding the voting booths and jailing people who try to vote, and people would be forced to fight the police in order to get to the voting box and vote. This could be done without any additional game code, just need a police force willing to enforce totalitarianism. -
