My Fellow Alteans
First of all let me announce my intentions of running for the distinguished office of Governor of Altis.
After finishing the latest season of house of cards i have taken it upon myself to run for political office and attempt to put right the wrongs of our corrupt bureaucratic regime. For too long the governorship been a superficial post held by corrupt politicians eager to abuse the powers of governor to give their associates pardons and line their own pockets.
This last week alone i have witnessed candidates canvasing for votes on a platform where their political beliefs and policies change to suit who they are talking to, flip flopping their "policies" to gain votes. I have even seen candidates openly paying for votes in Kavala. Obviously politicians have abused the ill informed in politics for centuries now but i am here to not only announce my Candidacy, but to usher in a new form of politics in Altis. A kind of politics that is transparent where policies can be scrutinized and debated.
The first stage of this new kind of politics is to layout my political position here in black and white on the forums.
I will create an ongoing discourse for politics on the forums.
I will encourage people to read my manifesto before voting for me.
My policies will reflect what the people want,
I will propose a moderate policy and explain clearly why i have made these decisions.
TAX
So first let me address the Tax. The populist approach towards tax is always 0% tax from all of my competitors.
Many people think that tax is just a kickback for the Governor, to pay for their services, but the tax actually has a direct relation to the amount of Dirty money in the Bank of altis and gold bars in the Federal Reserve. I hear time and again from rebels that there is no incentive to rob the Fed and the payout is shit and that the Bank of Altis is allot easier to hold from the police. If the Taxes were higher that would mean higher payouts at the fed and creating an incentive for Gangs to invest their materials and equipment to a heist.
Instead of the fed paying out 170k to be shared between 10 people, imagine the payout when dividing 400k or 500k. I dare say that with that kind of potential payout The fed could become a viable element to the endgame activities on the servers again.
Another benefit of having a higher tax rate in a competitive free market is that it helps promote subsistence within the population. When guns are cheap and a days hard work seems pointless when a life of crime seems more financially attractive. By raising the tax the Hobos of the island will have less money to buy rooks, ensuring a safer Kavala. It will also promote citizens to engage with more production activities like making vehicles and guns, running oil and just generally engaging in commerce apposed to just buying it. The higher tax rate will also mean a better price for the products which we make and sell to the market, which will in turn, reduce the demand for products and making them cheaper to buy in the long run which is better for the both manufacturers and consumers alike.
Therefore i propose a moderate tax rate of 10% to start. This figure is open to debate so please feel free to let me know your views and i will augment my policies to fit the needs of the people.
The War On Drugs
The war on drugs is a divided issue with many. Some see the pursuit of weed production as harmless. I will Decriminalize weed. My opinion is that the patrolling of the weed fields is a waste of police time and resources which could be better tasked for the protection and defense of our major cities. Towns like Athira, Sophia and even Altis Capital are infested with a criminal element that bangs pistols and rdm's without initiation. To combat this problem i will reinstate the occupation of government and police buildings in these town. I will give powers to the police to deputizes bounty hunters to help clean up these cities.and maintain a presence of authority.
Bounty Hunters
For many people Bounty hunters are a Nuisance, but when i started on this server i found it a good introduction to the martial matters of the server. If conducted in the correct manner, bounty hunting can be a helpful and noble profession, especially when the police are often so undermanned and i realize that going full cop isn't an option for allot of people.
The biggest problem with bounty hunters in my opinion is that they tend to just congregate in Kavala square downing people and snatching them up without initiating properly like it used to be. I will increase the scrutiny upon bounty hunters to make sure that the police are enforcing the restrictions of their licences and make sure any abuse of these rules will result in removal of their licence and possibly prison time if they refuse to pay the penalties for misuse of their weapons. I will also encourage people to report those bounty hunters who do not clearly identify themselves to their potential targets and give them the opportunity to come peacefully.
I myself was shot with a downing weapon by a bounty hunter recently when i was unarmed, without a bounty and had my hands on my head. This is an example of how the rules around initiation are being abused. I will attempt to put a stop to these kinds of activities as they are unacceptable. If a target complies with your demands it is considered rdm if you then shoot them, just talking to someone does not give you the green light to then shoot them.
I will task bounty hunters contracts during times of duress to help bolster the police force and put them to some good use and get them out of Kavala square.
Martial Law
During times of duress i want to Governor to be able to issue a state of Martial law where for 15 minutes towns and major cities can be considered red zones. Only when the Governor and the highest ranking police officer online at the time unanimously agree that martial law is the only alternative. During martial law, anyone not inside a house or building and openly brandishing a weapon can be shot on sight. These seem like harsh conditions but recently i have seen Kavala and Pygeros turn in to warzones by RDM'ers
and those who would see our beautiful State burn.
Prison Sentences
i would like to see a change in the way that prison sentences are exercised. Under the current format once you commit enough crimes and you reach your max sentence of 45 mins. I would like to see some changes to the way that some more serious criminals are sentenced.
I propose to not change the duration of the sentences but to implement a policy of hard labor for the convicts. For example, while being supervised by a police officer and his deputies (Bounty hunters) convicts could be driven in a hemtt Transport to one of the medium yeild mines where they could mine materials for those officers that are supervising them. This would create an incentive for the officers to supervise them and create some interesting opportunities for rescue attempts instead of the usual jailbreak engagement, to create some variety of experience.
Thank you for taking the time to read my manifesto
Sincerely
Dr.Strangelove

You will just be alone for the rest of your life watching anime unfortunately, And this "And lastly, if you think downing/killing people is a challenge you need to ALT-F4 out of asylum and arma 3 itself." Wtf Like are you serious, asylum is for light Rp and more combat, you would understand if you got out of your APD cave, Lol im done talking shit on the fourms, Come to insanity Ts anytime you want to talk shit im looking forward to seeing you there.
You're an APD sergeant and you basically implied that you don't care about roleplay you fucking weeb spoon what are you thinking? Come on the forums with your bold text and naruto-masturbating speaking and say that you don't care about roleplay?
get the fuck out of roleplay servers and infact, just delete arma from your steam and do yourself and your whole generation of weeb family a good favour.
Calm down now, talk to me again when you'll be able to shoot straight and have 2 years on asylum itself. I was a sgt myself, so gtfo with your "rp", cause you're bad at it, at combat and in arma 3 in general. You should go back to minecraft, and even if you weren't play it before, go start it, cause that's your game. Later mong.
S6 is literally the best place right now to see which cops are playing for rp and which are playing for money only. I only saw 1 cop so far out of 12~ hours on the server who was actually legitimately RP'ing. Out of 20~ cops all day long on the server.

LOLOLOL You are pathetic, learn to shoot and place your scope reticle on someones head, you are bad, your police force is bad and your logic is remarkable, "Ohh, there's a plane flying towards me, we have to shoot it right?" Did APD Training teach you that, BTW I learned that Q & E make my player lean ) Second- I am a cop but whatever, probably called you a Mong at some point lol, and 100% downed/killed more people this week than you ever have in your life, Third- I am a troll and my name was created to make people laugh, your name was created to make the Weeb's happy and mabey start some conversations about hentai, Fourth - Kys I've played the servers for almost 2 years, now please get on your knees and suck me off, XD
Welcome sir, this game we play is called arma 3 and this community is called asylum, you must be new and arguably retarded. I hope you have a nice afternoon. And remember grasshopper, airplanes have brakes too. How is this shikisudoku kid a Sgt.
