I wonder why the CIA wants me to fund Local Food programs... But, on the other hand, a Corporate Interest wanting me to fund green energy makes perfect sense, if you think about it. "SOLYYYYYNDRAAAAAAA ATTACK!!!"

When i pass a bill and then it's vetoed, but then i override the veto, do i gain the clout from passing them both times or just one time?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
How come i only got the start a bill cash award but none because it passed, allthough it clearly said i get 1.2k. Unless the second cash has a delay.
You receive contributions for passing a bill at the end of the day when it's actually applied to the nation. Since the President has to sign a bill into law, there is the possibility that passing it through Congress alone will not make a bill law. In this case, you will not receive your contribution unless you override the veto.

Sure until you want to start a big popular character, and pick Skeletons in your closet then it becomes only a matter of time.

You know what would be awesome. If for an election for a VIP position (Like speaker of the house) there would be a section sort of like the chat menu, except only the 2 people with the most votes could talk on it. The amount of chat they could put out would be limited but everyone can see it. This way people could figure out what the election hopefuls would do in that position (At least, what they SAY they would do)

in short, more or less high relations increase exports and low tariffs increase imports but with tariffs having a slight effect on exports and vice versa?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Although, it seems that we'll need export/import tariff specifications as well. Also, do countries trade with each other or just us at this point? (it'd be nice to see our own trade stats)
We don't have control over tariffs in other countries, so there's no reason to track that. Foreign->foreign interactions are not in-game yet, and will not be for v1.0 (but will likely be added at some later date, probably around when I start work on Spook)
I wasn't sure what this was a reference to and so looked it up on Wikipedia and found this gem: " he allies with the Fairies to rescue his father from the Russian Mafia".

Solution for Kong Fans: Make an in-game block option so I can block anyone out from my associates independent from HOW they associated me.
There is no solution. You will always be discovered no matter what you do. I've moved people to different Kong accounts, and they get discovered. Therefore, adding special functionalities that will effectively change nothing is not a priority.

@ patriot, armorgames put their games on kong, so they're hardly competitors. you could put it on newgrounds too, which would probably either go very well or very bad.

Q, have you considered bringing the Cloutiverse to Armorgames?
It could bring in a good amount of players, or better.
On the other hand, I guess Kong and Armor are technically competitors, and you shouldn't do it unless it's a shared player pool.
But if you could get something working, that'd be interesting.
MOAR PLAYARS IS MOAR AWESOME
I'm not sure what Armorgames does for developers. It may not really be worth my time to port the game there. I tried finding some link on their site that outlines the process for submission/initial advertising and how their micropurchases work... but couldn't find anything.

Hey Q, does the success chance of the "haggle" with the pawn shop owner get influenced by any stats (i.e. speaking ability), or purely by chance?

coolie01 you have to be CT4. When you're CT4, go to the VIP section and nominate yourself for speaker (you'll see yourself on the list, click nominate).

Could you please add "Players Active Today" in World? It's just something I'd like, don't feel you have an obligation to do it right away if you have other plans first.

In a tragic turn of events, a close friend of congressperson Troll has been victimized in an assassination attempt on the congressperson. Apparently a carafe of liquor in the congressperson's home was lethally poisoned, however the congressperson survived unharmed due to the protective effects of the equipment they were wearing" is this possible?

How is the public so happy with a 44% TAX, No way that would really happen, before the public got upset when we had 100k salaries.
um... I think you might want to read about the tax rate and happiness levels in Europe, especially Northern Europe/Scandinavia. People get happy when you spend tax money on social services of an equal or greater benefit. They get angry when you spend tax money to line your pockets with gold.

Because if you do it too often then people are unhappy with you (basic reasons would include a lack of focus on your job, tiring of seeing your new books on the shelf, etc.) and this results in the book sales sucking and you lose CSP and have wasted energy. Also maybe link activity on bills to your book sales; if no one knows who you are, who'll buy the book?

About the facebook note: investigations, you said you'll make different tiers of investigations to target specific scandals and something like counterinvestigations. Someone else suggested recently in comments that investigations to know who's targeting you but I don't know if it's V1.0 or some further future release. Oh and "missions"? What missions? Like skullduggery and stuff?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Another thought is to allow you to select people and get notifications in your newsfeed when they're mentioned in the Examiner. Such as when you are viewing their profile, you could push a button next to "Skullduggerize" saying "Monitor Events". You could manage who you do this with under investigations or the examiner/info page.

Alright. Other than that, I like current missions the way they are. Maybe price the think tank bribe a little lower. Other than that, I like it the way it is. IDEA: In a later version, give us a way to write books, etc. They take a lot of energy, but if successful, provide a varying amount of income each day. You would be able to start a book if you're CT3+, and the chances of it succeeding are dependent upon CSP, and the amount of money, if successful, is dependent upon how much energy was spent on it. You would be able to begin it under campaign management, and spend energy on it under Status page. Maybe, if the book doesn't do well, you lose some CSP each day instead of making money.

Additionally, we should be able to purchase housing, similar to the Lobby, as well as commodities such as cars. These should have a benefit in EOD stress loss, and maybe some other things. They should be highly expensive, but beneficial enough that higher tiers might consider buying them. This might also incentivize players to play the long game, instead of the month-long meth monster. Additionally, the opportunity arises for bad press (and thus, CSP loss) if someone's buying expensive houses but their party has little binary control. ("Why doesn't my congressman care more about representing me than he does about his million dollar house?!")
Considering there are no actual locations in Clout, this will not be happening. Sorry. There are plenty of incentives for keeping a persistent character already.
