Delosford, can we have a stress reset, and an energy reset? Our energy doesn't go up when the server is down, and We have loads of stress because we haven't had a stress reset because the server keeps going down.
The server has never crashed for any reason, though I'll check if those scripts haven't run. It seems that somebody at the hosting company is manually shutting off the VM for the server.

"Those who have spoken out against this bill in committee are flip-floppers! FLIP FLOPPERS! ALL OF THEM! You can't trust a flip-flopper. So pass this bill! Don't let their flippy lies dissuade you from what you know is right!" Heeled mule masterace.

@keycie
What type of coma? Is your energy at/below 0? Then you will wake up when it is above 0.
Are you in the hospital, and you can't get out? For me, it's a day before my health is even PASSABLE enough to get out of the hospital

Does public debt being negative mean we have money?
Debt is usually a bad thing, but a less ambiguous use would be like net worth or something like that.

for some reason I'm not getting my "campaign contribution" for passing bills, i get a "campaign contribution" for introducing bills but not for passing it all i get for passing it is clout. I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm just being screwed by whom ever was supposed to be paying me, some assistance with this would be appreciated.

If we keep just piling taxes up (and eventually phase out other, more spendthrift parties) and our GDP keeps growing at a constant rate, then, comrades, we may one day stabilize the economy and not end up as slaves to China. On a side note, why the hell did our defense budget *increase* after we've ended the completely pointless war with our Chinese comrades? What, will it go back down as we declare war on Russia or something? Seriously, what the hell is going on over in the external affairs?

For all those who are new to the game, please take a look at the wiki "Bills" section. It helps you understand how the bills you are putting up effect the overall state of the game. http://clout-the-game.wikia.com/wiki/Bills

Is there a specific number where the debt finally ends us? Because without a good Red Line to draw, it's difficult to motivate people.

In my opinion to all new players... Since happiness is at 100%, be a socialist and start signing "Increase Income Tax" bills

(Game Request) Can you please make energy refill time just a bit lower??? Like 5 minutes??? It would improve gameplay in my opinion.

This new player situation is actually really really funny. Congress for some reason gets hundreds of new Congressmen. These Congressmen start willy-nilly introducing bills to fund a bunch of things, and nearly destroy the country's finances with huge debt. What a silly country.

Let's face it, the debt problem would be solved if everyone joined our glorious socialist party and raised all taxes to 100%. Hell, we even have a bill for 100 clout which helps with the debt... Who even needs an income in our workers' paradise, amirite? Also, human cloning and soylent green ftw.

Welcome to the KONGress! Take a seat in the corner. NOT IN THE BIG CHAIR. It's for the CT4's and it's me. Let's discuss how to completely destroy the debt! What? You're saying you want to fund trees? Well, screw you then. (Pretty much sums the situation with all the newbies atm.)

I assume stalkers somehow cause 504 connection errors? And damn man, that's a tough beat. Sorry they are messing with your baby like this and screwing us over in the process.
There really isn't a best. Party choice doesn't affect your stats or anything other than which bills you can introduce. Left-leaning parties are more spending-focused and right-leaning parties are more about spending/tax cuts.

@wh7877 ...I don't think you've played Clout enough, my friend. Now, excuse me while I go to my district that was just renamed by our beloved population into Stalinstown.

Serious question - do you think America will ever adopt proportional voting so that we can slay the beast of gerrymandering and un-tyrranise the minorities?

@ExtremeGamer:
Supporting 10 bills gets you just as much clout as supporting one bill 10 times. However, each bill that doesn't pass reduces your stress regen by 1% at the end of the day.

Found a small bug: I used all my Energy in supporting multiple bills and it when to 1. So, i just hanged around in the game in the devils' inn and i noticed that my Energy went to 36 so i was like "Meh" So then i when to the store and saw that it went back to 2 (1 energy restored)
It is quite literally impossible for this to have occurred randomly as a result of the game code. Energy is restored by a cronjob that runs every 8 minutes and executes an update query against the users table. There is nothing that updates the users table for a single person and decrements energy except for the code that causes you to expend energy when taking actions (which can only be triggered by user interaction). Either you had some kind of cached display problem, or you did have 36 energy and somebody hacked your account and did stuff without you know. Make sure you haven't posted your session key, and if you have, log out/in of Kong.

Tip: Support Multiple Bills that have a high chance of Succeeding as if multiple of them succeeds you get more clout out'a it!

I can only play this game for at least 10 mins before running out of energy. Actually, any games that requires energy will be at least 10 mins before i quit of energy loss.
Well, yeah, that's kind of how energy systems work. You can get more with drugs and play more actively with more risk, or you can stick with normal regen and play more casually with less risk of PvP.

I got a few choice words about them....Why do your technical people not like hosting your game/network? It's not like you're losing them money hosting something that no one ever plays.
It's already on iOS/Android. It runs through a web browser using nothing but basic JavaScript and HTML, purposefully for compatibility reasons. The game does not require an app.

(I commented earlier on cannabis.) Alright, but what if we maybe had a system where outlawing it put it in the black market and could cause a large scandal, and making it legal would make you lose a small amount of constituent support for using it (since it is and always will be a controversial drug)? Or what if using it would lower your speech skill dramatically for an hour?
The server does not crash, and never has. Linux/Ubuntu is extremely stable and the games themselves do not have a server instance which can crash, other than MySQL/nginx, which are also extremely stable.
