I don't know why, but I just got reminded that Identity exists. Been here as well since it's seeding investment days, first community startup and what not. And it is way too relatable with the "staying up" all nights part. I remember I used to write down my thoughts on paper, start making deals and whatnot. Preparing for everything. I believe we just have to be patient indeed, it might be hard as our imagination and promises exceed often what we get delivered. Like with Cyberpunk 2077 for an example. But then again, it is this ambition that drives the innovative process. We just have to make the best of it and be patient. God's Speed, to the Developers.

Initially an emoji, yes. Why are you asking 2 years later?

Security should always be a priority whether it be a forum or not even if it accepts payments or not. Plus actually adding the certificate is quite easy, I use it for my sites and it simply just makes the site more secure even if it isn't really needed.

The title says it all, figured that HTTPS is way more secure than HTTP. You payment sites are HTTPS if I am correct with is great! But (...) I think that in the future HTTPS would be greatly appreciated as it would improve the site's security. Best Regards !

Firstly let me introduce myself once again as I feel quite a bit old fashioned by now for some reason. My name is FlyingDuck also known as the founder and owner of the Famtiano Family. However that is not the case. I have been here since the start as far as I am aware, and I see that when people like to plan out their identity "life" they would need to ask for whether they are playing in the EU, or US as an example. So my suggestion is to simply to organize the section of e.g. The Board in a way that if you are going to play in the EU servers you would go to the EU Board Room and not the US Board Room. I think this would be greatly appreciated by not only myself but by others too as I for one would need to advertise that I am in the EU and that I recruit only people within the EU. I am not really active so far due I don't find it necessary at the moment due all my other contacts are also inactive at this time, so I am wondering if you could introduce yourself just a small bit while typing in your question / feedback to me so I could get to know you better. Best Regards!

Oh, it is just a short novel fiction. Figured the title should only be written when the book is actually done.

Hope this got you excited for my new book that will be released in Identity! This part was taken out from my book that I am writing and releasing in Identity.

Metaphor. Hoho.

How dare you, of course I remember you.

Politics are a lot like chess. I currently have mostly every brick in place. And corruption is usually the way to go for anything.

Famtiano Family RP Story The Famtiano Family was created in the poor Italian neighborhoods in New York during the prohibition era in the 1920s. With their high expertise and their wealthy allies they became powerful. In the 1940s they expanded into Los Angeles and Boston, buying clubs and fronts there as well. Famtiano was loved by the people, not only for the help they got, but also since Famtiano was known for not being violent (unless it was necessary of course). Everything great have to end, and during the 1950s the Family got too big for its own good and infighting began. A major breakout faction in the family caused Famtiano to leave Boston, and with that lots of income. The Family stayed under the radar for years before being one of the first to help build Las Vegas to what it is today. Owning and operating plenty of clubs and casinos the Famtiano quickly became one of the most powerful crime families in the US. The next couple of years and decades Famtiano expanded: San Fransisco, Miami, New Orleans, Chicago, as well as reclaiming Boston. They got plenty of allies, The Yakuza, The Irish mob, and many more, and with the careful job they do the FBI cannot trace any crimes back to them. To reach a mob you need the help from the people, but the people aren’t interested in helping. Cause after all, the mafia is just creative entrepreneurs, looking to make money. That’s what the Mob is about. Making money. The difference between normal businessmen and the mob is that the mob isn’t evil, and that they do not pay taxes. Still powerful ´til this day, and with the funding focus shifting from Law Enforcement to the War on Terror the Famtiano is looking to expand again. What made the Famtiano Family move mostly away from the US was the new law that was named R.I.C.O act. The high-ups in the Famtiano Family decided they needed somewhere new to expand, so they handed over a secret deal with one of the biggest Yakuza Families to get help with smuggeling the members out from the US to the Island of Identity. More info about what we do The Famtiano Family is not an organization were you get to kill people and so on. We focus on our members and money. Of course we will need to take action sometimes to either get more money or to simply make it easier for us to get the money, but we do watch over our official members. We pay our members regarding on how much their income on the jobs they do, let us say for an example an official member #1 got about 5 000$ in this week. The min. was 4 500$. The 4 500$ goes up in different split. So the #1 get probably 800$ the Capo ( Captain) of that made man get 1 200$ and the rest is so on divided up to the boss. The boss has to share what was given from the Capo to the other high ranks such as Consigliere and Underboss. The jobs we usually do is wide. Sometimes insurance fraud, hijack cargo, smuggle cargo, delievery jobs and so on. If you want to understand more then think about us as Gods of Calamity. We don't cause catastrophes for fun and nor for free. By Calamity we mean we can do your jobs, almost any job considering a wide range. Our title/ranking system Boss/Don/Capo De Tutti Capi Underboss Consigliere Capo/ Captain Soldier / Made Men __________________ Associates We do have of course small other ranks such as enforcers, makers, Amico's, buttons, and so on but we won't give all sort details now. We consider our Made Men and above like our real family. We protect them with our hands and heads. Captains usually have small teams of Soldiers / made men to work for them to be their "sales" manager kind of. They collect within a week a certain amount that the underboss decides. The made men/ soldiers can operate 1-2 associates normally and be their pals kind of. They can get help from them and so on. How to join the Famtiano Family We are very strict on joining and we do not mess around. We do not do application, rather than that we want to get to know our members so they will become our associates. Let us say that some of our members ( Soldiers, made men ) were at a cafe very often, that means we control that cafe and so on, let us say that if you sat at that cafe very often like us, we would have investigated in you. If we knew you were a cop or working for the goverment we would not bother talking to you. However if you were something else like a small time criminal or even a normal job within a normal company we would have asked you some stuff. To sum it all up, it all comes down to how you show your activity to us and your passion for our type of work. Of course this might be hard on the forums but you can always message people in the family and so on to get to know them better. Our current state Now we do not like to brag too much, but our current state is defently not poorly. We already have many official members and enough business deals and connections but if you ever want to make a deal or something then just contact us. We will not give out our current members details but maybe sooner in the future. Best regards the Famtiano Family Board.

I don't think most of you have realized that the staff on here has previous experience and developement with people and the company Asylum. Having a person who moderates an official server whom is not part of the company is kind of un-moral wise. I am not doubting experience in staffing ( Gmod- gta rp - list goes on ) but Be reasonable. Staffing is very, very serious for an official server but you can become a staff member within a private or unofficial server due it does not influence the PR of the company. It is also weird having freelancing moderators to watch over the official sever when other developers and staff members that helps the game whether it is debugging, V.A or consulting yet you have people who have no reason to actually staff other than giving the reasons of " I want to help the community out" or " I have too much time" etc. If you want to get hired or work as an moderator / staff member send Asylum an email regarding experience and resume. This is a real company not an unofficial community that runs shit for fun. What I am about to say will be correct and also incorrect in the same way. When you staff for a long period of time you become less serious because it is not work and no, the comment " I think of this as my job " doesn't really apply to it. Moderating a heavy-af RP server which is official is pretty damn stressing as people are depending you staying neutral all the time and that is impossible. Which is basic as people can be douches too but still just think about I could write more but I just got bored. Anyhow, Have a nice day.

If I quote a person, I will give source. If you simply wanted a source (which you did and that is fine) I would have replied like I am doing now with this exact answer. I remember reading about it from one of the developers regarding this issue but they did not speak a lot about it. Whether it was on Twitter or here, I do not remember nor can I quote them as I am absolutely too lazy to find it. But I can assure you it has been said that the corruption will be an official law on official servers. However the philosophy of corruption will never be tainted nor fade away. So of course rules can be implied for that one person. I am sure you will receive a much more better quote or answer from someone whom is either willing to link you the source or either give you an answer as a staff member. I am also going to point out that this forum has not really developed any sense of humour so not really any point in trying that, either way I apologise for the late response.

There will be a system regarding corruption as it will be an official rule stating that you can not be corrupt as a cop or government official regarding the police force. However I am not sure that will work as there are always people being corrupt. Anyhow I am not sure about this "bin" system or other systems.

Now I noticed something, I am sorry if some of my arguments does not fit the best but I have a very busy schedule trying to fit this philsophy bit in considering this is very enjoyable. Now if a company let us call it company A. Company A manufactures clothes and gives its employees a very small amount of profit / income let us say around 12$. The person needs food, and a transportation vehicle if they live in a greater distance, they could walk but let us say that takes a lot of your energy. Most of your energy is now used to get to work, you work and get done with it and get paid your 12$. The clothing is being sold for 30$ and the profit is divided into different investors and so on. But if that employee is supposed to eat for let us say 3$ he gets "half" of his energy and mood back creating a fair work again but if he were to eat this meal two times at minimum chance a day he would end up with using 6$ a day of his payroll. Giving him an profit of 6$. This employee has no family or relatives so the person does not pay anything towards that cause. The person can socialize without using expenses in cafe's, cinemas and games etc. However he would have to avoid such situations for the upcoming future as he has a budget. If the person is smart he puts 3-4 $ away every payroll for accidents such as health affairs such as dehydration, starvation, emergency use but if this person got robbed or got in an accident it would create problems for his health considering it will cost a bit to get in an operation and such, or get "healed". The person would need to sell his small apartment and get something cheaper or live on the street in case of this. Company B which can increase profits for its employees can use this as an strategy for winning more man-power or even use it to create health insurance but then the private health market might increase their demand for "healing" due such a large increase. Another scenario is fuel, fuel for transportation. of middle wage worker getting fuel. Considering this is a game, fuel cost of gas stations will be different each hour or so by my guess due I bet we will not have oil rigs. By all means this is guessing. But you do see my point right? Best regards, love these small discussions.

Explain the markets a bit more if you could.

Trying to bribe the government is fairly easy if that is how you will convince them to join your organization. I do like the concept of anarchism but it is in my view point impossible to collide into this system considering the jobs that are implied in the game are jobs that can not be removed however that does not simply stop you which is wonderful due that is purposely a good trait for a good "game" I guess you can say it that way. I do not know much about Identities government body figure whether it will have it copied more like the US with presidents, with different branches and Anarchism as far as I know it does not have fixed bodies, but now you have stated you will win over different branches with bribes, protests or simply a fair discussion or a philosophical debate considering Anarchism is a philosophy in my sight. However I do know one thing and that is that whether you are in real life or not people will be greedy especially in games, games are for enjoyment and that brings over "unseriousness" sometimes / often which will ruin other people experience but then again Anarchism is based on "freedom" which I have a differnet opinion on, so whether people want to follow your ideals of Anarchism or the ideals of low taxes- Now taxes it is a thing most people don't like but you see the government runs on taxes. You say you will decrease taxes ( lower them or abolish them either way ) to make the people happy but the government is also the people. Therefor when you lower taxes you lower income. The tax money are used by the government to give budgets to police branches, hospitals / paramedics, Agency Branches, road maintenance, education, religion ( differs ) but if we are strictly speaking the game won't have too much to do with education and road maintenance and such but you do have a police force and you can NOT abolish that either due that is a game feature and it is being loved by many. So if you legalize drugs and guns you won't have a high crime rate which is fairly "Ok" in reality but it creates less trouble for the police which might not like the "non excitement" which is given to them. Abolishing the government is impossible in my sight especially for an ever lasting time due to taxes. Because how will hospitals survive on a non funded budget? I want to exclude investors. I do believe more in social anarchism than capital anarchism at this very moment but that is my very own opinion. I am not saying I am for anarchism nor am I saying I am against it. In reality I like the philosophy behind Anarchism. EDIT: I forgot to mention and now I have done fairly little research on this so my apologizes for that, but if you are to abolish the government does not that include yourself considering if you enter a party and win over this "government" your party is yet to exist considering by that time your party is a legal government holder and that laws, petitions and other cases goes through your branches and so on.

Ah thank you for your support. Much appreciated. ___ Also sorry for this bumping message but after long absent and some low inactivity we would like to state we are still alive. We also got a recent question about recruitment and what type of server side we will play on. First we are open for recruitment. Send a pm to me and I will evaluate your "application" for further association with the Famtiano Family. We will also be operating in the EU. Thank you for your time once again, fellow citizens.

I do write short novels sometimes. I add them on deviantart. I write usually sad novels.
