@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.

nevermind the resolution, when I click on a bill it actually takes me to a completely different one... I cant find a party aligned bill!

heres how to get free clout: pass an increase education spending bill and make sure to make a speech that says yes to it... then link to your bill on global and say something along the lines of: "Think of the children!" or "Won't SOMEBODY think of the children?!" about 30 seconds later you should get a notification.. it should say it passed! note: if you use this all the time people will pick up on your method. use it maybe once a day or so.

Oh, sorry Delosford, I made my previous comment on the assumption that the game had just come onto kong (which it hasn't).

The "CLICK HERE TO EXPLORE THE CLOUTIVERSE" bar at the bottom is cutting off the last line of text for me. My zoom levels are at default, and I'm using Firefox with Windows.

I think that if cannabis is legalized, it should be put into the normal store. If it's outlawed, it should be in the black market. Also, may I ask what happens if a socialist learns and uses "Refer to Opposition as "Socialists"" ability?

Okay, so how exactly can we raise our stats? I've already looked the help section, and honestly I'm too lazy to go as far as to look through the forums.

Increase salary bills reduce constituent support? Why did you put it with the rest of the bills that, according to the text at the top of the 'Introduce A Bill' screen, "can be introduced or supported without upsetting your constituents"?
They reduce nation happiness, not constituent support. Nation happiness can reduce everyone's constituent support if it gets bad enough (as can any stat).

i'm curious what happens when foreign country leader gets assasinated, wheter it would be led by "no one in particular"like egypt or get some random poltician of that country promoted,.
great game
Because there are drawbacks to voting for astronomical salaries for yourself. This will cause the nation's happiness to go down and debt to increase. That will cause your constituents to get angry with you. When your constituents get angry with you, you lose your next election and your character along with it. Which makes the extra money you had for a while kind of a moot point.

I realized I didn't like my first character since I made it in a hurry and suicided and remade. Then I get this Hacking the game is bad, mmmkay?. No clue what I did lol

"If there was something that gave energy and didn't cause a scandal, it would massively unbalance the game unless it was super expensive (which makes no sense for coffee)."
What about golden coffee with real gold!

Great game, love how delosford always responds to our comments, even the stupid ones. For campaign contributions, after the bill gets passed, i am not getting the second half of money i was promised. Is it bug or something?
You get money for campaign contributions when your bill actually goes into effect, not when you pass it. Bills go into effect at the end of each day. The reason why this also pays out contributions is due to the possibility of a veto. If your bill gets vetoed, you'll have to pass it again before you get the money.

Though it may be part of the game, having a large portion of the "old players" conspire to lower the salaries to nothing is counter productive to the games player base. Understandable they'd want to keep the power to themselves but this is getting out of hand. "Won't somebody think of the children!?"
I'm not sure why you're telling me? I didn't tell them to do it. There are also a lot more of you than there are of them. So you can probably do something about it if you'd like.
Drugs are the only way. This is intentional since it creates a separation between casual and active play where the latter incurs more PvP interaction and risk.
