Under rating threshold (show) Same problem as Josh. Drugs don't work, but still cost money. Everything was working earlier today.

You both hit the page while I was changing some stuff. It works fine now.

Under rating threshold (show) 50000$ worth of drugs spent on that binary, no relic. I hate everything. Ever.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

If you're referring to the change I made, even without it you'd be far from guaranteed a relic. Most of the time even a relatively high chance at one is around 20-40%, and that's assuming you have no relics currently. But realistically, you should blame the people who have been gaming the system so long that I had to make the change.

Under rating threshold (show) Additionally, if one could click a crony or associate's name from the "Personal Offers" page, it would be very helpful...

Under rating threshold (show) You may wanna look at JIM MARG's congressional security bill... It has lim->0+% Pass Chance.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

That is accurate, there is nothing wrong, and it's actually something I had to specifically code, not a value error. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(calculus)

Under rating threshold (show) You might want to look at the VIPs again... from the point of possible copyright issues

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

The game is mostly exempt from copyright on that topic due to a couple things: first and foremost, the game is satire. That alone is a valid defense against copyright claims. Second: copyright rarely applies to something like a fictional name. It DOES apply to something like a character which LOOKS like superman, though. That's why City of Heroes had issues and had to restrict people from creating likenesses of popular superheros (also consider that City of Heroes is not satire -- you're playing a superhero in as realistic of a way as possible). Finally, since they're now player submissions it gets a lot more difficult to claim I'm trying to do it to make money off of their success.

Under rating threshold (show) are there any downsides to having a country declare war on us as opposed to declaring war on them?

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

presently, no... though I guess war should probably decrease all relations to some extent.

Under rating threshold (show) I think establish congressional security went all weird after going under 0%

Binaries never go under 0%. They simply approach 0 from the right.

Under rating threshold (show) would it be possible to make it so when we mouse over a time it says how long ago or how long till it happened/happens?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

isn't that inherently obvious from the fact that it's a timestamp and you can see the time in the header?

Under rating threshold (show) Actually, to add on to balony's comment can you make it possible to slowly change traits. Maybe add a maximum of 1 every month (and take 1 away to to keep it balanced). Because people change over time. I would like to change a few of my traits.

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

Most traits in the game represent something permanent/something about your character's past. They aren't something that's just going to change over time.

Under rating threshold (show) does tax directly affect GDP growth or is it just that all bills that raise taxes decrease gdp growth?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

Neither of these things is true.

Under rating threshold (show) seeing as almost half of the supreme court justices are liberal(and harvey dent is 1/2 of the time) scotus should be blue rather than grey...

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

Are you calling the supreme court a partisan entity? My word.

Apr. 26, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) WINNERS DO DRUGS IN CLOUT! Lol Oh i have a idea to: Sorry For Space :) There should be a trait at the beginning of the game for how easy or hard can you become addicted to drugs

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

I dunno. Drugs have enough drawbacks that their non-use confers some significant advantages. As for the trait, adding traits at this point would be a bad idea for a variety of reasons.

Under rating threshold (show) what or who is scotus.i like his grey party.

Developer response from delosford

SCOTUS is a commonly-used acronym for The Supreme Court Of The United States.

Under rating threshold (show) It would be nice if we could see the targets name if a targeted scandal(e.g.assassination) is revealed to the press.

+ - !

(2)

There actually isn't any record of this in the scandal DB.

Under rating threshold (show) What are the Binary cooldown rates?

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

3 days? Or maybe I changed it to 5. Can't remember. I'll add it to the help when I finish some things and do that (within a couple days. RL has been retarded lately).

Under rating threshold (show) YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY PROTECTION

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

This would make money too good. Nobody is supposed to be perpetually invincible. The only way I would add an option for this is if it were somehow scandalous as well.

Under rating threshold (show) I play this game mostly on my tablet and I can't "mouse over" text... The only important "mouse over" for me is the clout bar, though... Is there another way to view your current lifetime clout over how much needed for the next tier?

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

The tiers end at 5000, 30000 and 100000... so you should be able to infer it from that and the bar, roughly.

Under rating threshold (show) One feature I would like to see in the game is some sort of stat indicator, to show what items you buy from the store will do to your stats if you equip them.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

I intentionally omitted this and made most mechanics fairly opaque to encourage choices based on things other than powergaming.

(0)

Developer response from delosford

For as much work as that person put in to abuse stuff, I'm pretty sure they profited more from the one good target than the rest combined. Though I'll probably be adding some randomness to the missions just to stop the newspaper spam from people who feel they really need to annoy everyone for an incredibly tiny advantage.

Under rating threshold (show) There's something about ordering faceless thugs to beat down the political opposition over small disagreements. Kinda gets me frisky.

Maybe this is related to that whole "power corrupts" thing.

Under rating threshold (show) Okay, why is it a gaff to use "Think of the Children" against declaring war, but not for it? That is, in my opinion, some very twisted logic.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

It is a bit dark, but read the ability texts a bit more closely. The ability is specifically about American children and NOT children from other countries.

Under rating threshold (show) Please make it possible to click names in all posts to access profiles. :)

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

Colored names are never linked. Besides that, the posts aren't really supposed to be representative of an actual in-person interaction (so how would you see them?). If you want to look at someone you can't see readily, run an investigation on them and click their name.

Under rating threshold (show) Something I've been wondering is if it'd be feasible to incorporate a sort of motto thing for our profiles..

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

It would be possible... but if you're looking to customize the appearance of your character, for now you can look in the Pawn Shop for custom item tokens and dyes.

That will occur once all planned functionality is completed, prior to the move to v1.0.0.
