I like Noly's idea. Maybe if another scandal of that type is found and released, you suffer 5-10X the CSP damage because you weren't entirely honest.

Looking at the suggestion of a confession option... I could imagine a confession option(less csp damage), with the possibility to reveal an unlimited amount of scandals at once. But if you get caught in another scandal after that, then you get a severe CSP loss.

Although I haven't been playing this game for quite some time ago, I just came by to say this is one of the best games I've ever experienced. Nice to see the dev's still active in the comments. :D
So under your plan there would be literally no reason whatsoever to not repeatedly confess to scandals? You're talking about it always being better to confess than have them found out. That doesn't really open up any interesting gameplay opportunities and cheapens PvP in the game. I'm pretty sure coverups would get significantly more rare as well. You're basically just asking for something that makes the game easier.

YESSSSS. I want a confession option. And you can pick the type of scandal from a drop-down menu. Perhaps the CSP hit is less because you're being a more forthcoming.
This has been suggested before, but without any real way to work it into the game in a realistic fashion. Especially since investigations don't really uncover proof of anything, so if anything they'd tend to be less damaging than a confession.

i wasent multiboxing but you locked me out my brother made an aconunt with my kongrate user name so i made him hit the suiside butten but it was to late you had luck me out i loved this game
Well, he made another character. Unless you want to do a manual confirmation test that you and your brother are separate people, you can only have one character per IP address. This manual test cannot be gamed, so if you're lying: don't bother wasting my time.

As long as you don´t have any serious or normal scandal(including skeletons in your closet) and you don´t have several hundreds of the cigar/alcohol scandals, you shouldn´t feel endangered.

Putting stuff in the offshore would skew my high score results, In a way that works for me, just like easy mode in games, only cheating yourself.

I did not have anything in my offshore when I died, and I would be more than happy to never put equipment in my offshore if it meant that I could Go into the negative traits, it could be more of a challenge for me :D
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Well I would be more than happy to end up in the negative for traits, also I don't think it would be too bad if I end up with -1 in traits.
You can always view your chance of reelection on the main subterfuge page, and can get a more specific idea of your constituent support via the status page. Permadeath has always been a part of Clout.
The cooldown is the same as the duration. There is an additional stipulation that you can't play a CC on a bill if you were one of the last two people to CC that bill. It's not a cooldown.

This game actually makes politics effing INTERESTING for once.
Even though you're still spouting nonsense in the game, it's cool to experience it in third person.

Does a Research Committee give Clout to the person who introduced the committee onto the bill, after the bill passes?

@Superdupercat
You'd miss out on the Bonus you get upon passing the bill (which is received at the end of the day), the Clout profit from passing that same bill, plus you'd have more bills, which would reduce your end of day stress loss. By far, finishing the bills is the best option, not abandoning them.

Wait so, you could just go ahead and accept all the campaign contributions, but don't actually support the bills without repercussions?

It could be better if the energy regeneration time was 5 minutes instead of what I guess is roughly 8-10 minutes. One could also make some way to use cash in a Bill to pass it easier (Bribing), a scandal. Or also Clout (Pulling Weight), a bit of a loss, or even public support (Protests and stuff), which costs constituent support, with each being unannounced (except for the last). I'll put this into the official forum besides other ideas once I figure out the damn problem of this computer to access that site, despite being able to access any other site.
It wouldn't be "better", it would just make stress more of a limiting factor. There are also ways to do what you describe (Think Tank, Committee Actions, Speaker Powers, etc)

Such a pity I lost the unique Pink Champagne when I suicided. Should have used an offshore account. Anything of similar caliber coming up early in the game? Or can you buy it at a moderate rate?

@Fakeaccount99 (Yes, I know I could just tell you this on our forums, but I want to share my knowledge with others wondering) From what I have heard, The payout Increases with the base clout cost of the bill.

Are you allowed to poison your own bill right before the bill is done, then pass it though will minimum constitute damage?
