You report the bug you found and I fix it. As I just did. The real question is how in the world this went unnoticed/unreported this long. Guess there aren't many names at the max number of characters allowed.

While famous, I'm not quite sure he has enough ties to politics to make for a good relic.

I'm not sure if I'll keep updating the VIPs to reflect the real world now that we have the player-input VIP system for foreign leaders. We'll see.

Under rating threshold (show) people are dying of poor health. taxes are higher than anywhere in the world, yet debt is higher than the gdp, and the people are still pretty happy.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

I guess maybe unhappy people are more likely to die when unhealthy? Or maybe people are happy that money is spent in an attempt to do something... even if it's not exactly working. Though, population and GDP growth aren't presently too bad.

Under rating threshold (show) Q, is there any way you could make my character accessible via Facebook?

Developer response from delosford

I can move your account to a facebook account, but I don't currently have things set up such that you can get at the same clout account from both a facebook and kong account.

Generally it's intended that you click on the button on the combo box, not some random place on the body. The button for the combo box is located quite far from either of the submission buttons.

I don't see how altering the dropdown is going to change that. You're still free to wildly misclick after selecting something.

Hey, good job being a massive piece of shit! You're banned. I ever find your main? They're banned too. The funny part is that the real private communications are on the forums now because of asshats like you. So you accomplished nothing. LOL

Under rating threshold (show) *pretends to be delosford* This can be useful, but it's not official and therefore might be wrong. Initially I designed it so anyone can wear anything without worrying about the stats to prevent powerleveling.

Under rating threshold (show) could you make it so a tie in CC results in the multiplier remaining the same, rather than flipping a coin to decide the fate of america?

Traditionally the speaker withholds their vote to break ties.

Under rating threshold (show) I introduced and passed a bill, bought Rational Debate, and tried it out on a new bill. Is there supposed to be more tutorial that I'm missing?

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

That's about it. At this point you should be passing bills, buying new abilities and learning how to use them most effectively. Once you hit CT2, a variety of new gameplay options will open up.

Under rating threshold (show) doesnt the vice president usually succeed the president after his death? because my vip should be president right now!

Developer response from delosford

Apparently when I genericized VIP selection I didn't write a special case for the president dying. Guess it hasn't happened in a while. I'll fix it before v1.0

The only way to change your stats is to equip different equipment. Some equipment gives bonuses or penalties to charisma.

I should probably just add messages for each case instead of a general failure message. Honestly I don't remember the algorithm well enough to tell you.

Under rating threshold (show) does the drop in debt from taxes get calculated before or after the increase from being in debt?

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

I've actually been thinking about this question since you asked it. It doesn't exactly have any good answer. The way it is now I think it comes after, but I realized either entirely after or before wouldn't really be an accurate model. Even something like the compound interest formula doesn't really cover the taxation aspect, though I could calculate the debt rise itself more accurately. I think what I'm going to do in the near term is make half of it come before the multiplier, and half after.

Under rating threshold (show) Will there ever be an "outfit" setting as I constantly find myself switching back and forth between two sets of clothes and it'd be very helpful if you could save a certain set of clothes to an outfit and then switch from the main menu quickly.

Developer response from delosford

Optimal play no longer involves outfit changing. Make sure that you've read the forums for the recent stat changes. They're quite extensive, and haven't been put into the help files yet.

Under rating threshold (show) President Gote Focker has vetoed an Expand Anti-Discrimination Programs bill that was introduced by Kingsaa. its official. the president is racist. if theres one thing we can rely on obama on its to not be racist!

(5)

Developer response from delosford

Considering the low chance of those bills even showing up, I'm surprised this ever happened. I think it happened with UFO funding too, didn't it?

Under rating threshold (show) @ delos, younever told us what this percentage would be and gave us very little notice

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

When do I ever give specific percentages for anything? I doubt more warning would have done anything anyway. Nobody was planning on doing a thing until after debt went red.

Check the FAQ. You'll find that the energy regeneration rate actually has a lot of good reasons behind it. The game would be very dumb without it.

Under rating threshold (show) with all due respect. i dont think we could possibly survive when debt racks up that quick!

Developer response from delosford

Please read the changes. Debt increases much more quickly when it's in the red. It's not my fault you guys were running debt that close to the red.

I also changed up some ad stuff, so there's a good mix of newbies as well. Make sure to help them out in team chat and such. I made some alterations to the passout screen that should drive more traffic to the posts.

GDP isn't "constantly growing". It's been flatlined for most of this year.
