i understand a kevlar plate, but how does a helmet protect you from a car bomb? you were performing maintenance on the car? you where driving upside down, using your hands instead of your feet on the pedals?
The top of the car is made of metal, and the windows are made of hard glass. Neither of things things are particularly good for your head. It's rare that the actual explosion from anything other than a purpose-built anti-personnel bomb will directly kill you.

@delos, the previous comment i made was in reference to the comment before last. the only one about binaries. except the one before that which was part of the same discussion
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@delos, in regards to binaries. if we simply were on at the right time we could see what binaries had and hadn't been passed the previous day, so its really not that much of a benefit.

let's see here I have 110000 dollars... and a cigar is only 200.... Later that Day.. Amount of Money: 0 dollars... Any other bad things to do to myself besides looting Cuba and Mexico of their supplies? No really tell me and I will do it
Are you saying you spent 110,000 on cigars? That's impressive dedication. I guess you could always ruin yourself by supporting the bills of your opponents.

"Congressperson The Doctor was nearly involved in a serious automobile accident today. They discovered that their brake lines had been cut when they tried to stop at a red light."
Somebody really ought to do something about those Daleks. They're turning into some real pests.
People actually had to make this reference twice before I put it together. Turns out I can't watch TV when all my spare time is spent working on Clout D:

you should have a chance of a scandal randomly being released to the news. and increase the chance when you have cops around for protection
Protection was recently worsened to compensate for the inclusion of defensive items. I'll be adding some more here in a minute if you want to bundle up a bit more.

@delos, it would help see if a recent change in nation stats was from a binary. if we dont pay close attention to the bills screen and a bill passes at about 11pm we may not see whether it passed or not.

I'm not disregarding anything. All I'm saying is that, as far as I understand, now different sets of gear will be better for different actions, and that those actions clear at different times. So, for example, it seems to make sense to me to switch to high stat gear to play abilities and right before the new speaking engagements clear, and to stay in defensive gear at other times to minimize the risk of getting killed by a lucky shot. So what am I missing?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I'm starting to wonder about the direction we're going with the defensive gear. I'm having a hard time imagining any situation where optimal play doesn't involve changing gear, and adding special campaign appearances will make it best to log in to change gear briefly at certain times. What about maybe making defensive gear have it's own slots, and cost somewhere in the $100-200k range?
You're disregarding most of the changes I'm making to address this. You're also assuming that protective gear is much better than it is. It's specifically useful for CERTAIN playstyles. Other playstyles will gain little to no benefit from it.

yay assassination proof armor! now all we need are camnets to prevent scandals being seen and "larcenic" to kill anyone who robs us!

Defensive items! Now only if the store had those in stock before someone tried to assassinate me...
btw, how good are these defensive items?
They're in stock. Also, check the facebook page for a more detailed description of how defensive items differ from police protection. Defenseive items are best when you're a rare assassination target and don't do a lot of drugs.

when people are assassinating each other that much that Q has to put defensive equipment in the game YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG !!!!!!!!
no other solutions really made sense. It also allows me to do some more interesting things with some aspects of The Lobby that I was a bit worried about. The Lobby and Clout use the same items/stats across both games, in case you didn't know already.

"Constituents of The Conservative Party have started running campaigns against their incumbent congresspersons. The citizens in question reportedly feel that those currently in office under the party banner are failing to live up to expectations. This is presumably due to the state of laws in the nation, as they are currently very disparate from party ideals.

Is there any way I could get a breakdown on this mechanic? I'd assume for libs health and happiness are more important to our base, while tax rate is not, but I'd appreciate more than my own applied logic to go on.

So, other than a guaranteed seat in the next election, ending committees early and stickying in Global, what special powers DOES the speaker have??
well, you just named 3 powers. So that would be more than no powers. I'm planning on implementing a way for them to clear all committees off a bill (stuff like research committee, oversight committee, etc).

you should make an australian version of the game where the only abilities are half hearted punditry and wildcard. and the only bills are repeal/establish carbon tax.

Bug Report: I got a message on my status page that someone tried to kill me. I had no stress gain, and it's not in the examiner.
