They're definitely annoying. Looks like they're mostly jealous that the game runs maintenance-free, when the shitty-ass cobbled-together systems they run require constant attention to keep running in a reasonable state.

This game is awesome! What do you think about a way to save equipment as a set? I like to accessorize for the occasion, i.e. Armor when i'm afk, high speak when passing bills, etc. and it'd be nice to just choose an 'outfit'
You should gain a better understanding of what stats do so that you can build a balanced set of gear instead of stat stacking (which is not optimal play).

It's nice of Brannigan's Law to speak at the funeral of his chauffeur who was killed by a car bomb, given Brannigan was just killed 3 more times today.
I ran the scripts manually to compensate for what the stalkers did. It's possible things just didn't change much. If any bills still didn't get applied for some reason, they'll pass/apply at the next EOD.

Stalker are indeed a plague. What's fun in the possibility that you can't play the game when you should(as someone says)? Anti-Stalckers, as long as anything is legal and not dangerous, I will indeed support you as much as I can (but I can't do much). You already won my gratitude.

Server is down. I hate this idiots! What's wrong with these 'Stalker' guys?
What wrong have we done? We're trying to enjoy a perfectly awesome game and they come in and ruin everything for us! Dammit! Hell, i'm going to find a way to let them taste their own Cyber-Medicine! Maybe i'll rally some users to start a Anti-Stalker Revolution! Who's with me!!??
Well, you'll all be getting a rather lot of information about them today. I'm thinking home addresses, workplace addresses and license plates. They keep it up and everyone from their immediate families get released. Let's see if they care more about them than themselves.

And after they finally let the assassin into the hospital he kills El_Raton just because. Afterwards he has the nerve to try to get back into the hospital and they tell him to go away again.

@wafalcon They were both assassinated today. (btw delosoford, do you have a release date for spook, or has it been released already?)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
When I try to investigate certain people, namely Brannigans Law and El_Raton, it says that they do not exist. The same thing happened when I tried to blackmail Brannigans Law, although I was able to release the information to the media.

I really like the Stalker Idea thing, it gives the game an extra twist.. You are trying to save the country while the programmer is threatened and sabotaged. Its like "The Neverending story"

Delos, I just want you to know that I have made a religion out of Timecube, and now yell at my friends "You probably don't know even the 4 day! You are a liar!". It's more fun than being a pastafarian

Perhaps a private investigator could be hired to look into the whole stalker issue. Either that or offer a bunch kreds or whatever to anyone who can do some successful amateur investigating on the matter and is able to dig up some concrete info on who is exactly doing what and why. There's got to be more to it than just that info posted in global.... If you pull the thread.... the sweater will begin to unravel......
I have various federal entities looking into things already. Though, sure, anyone who wants to dig up information on this and give it to me can get cosmetic item rewards. Why not.

I don't understand this whole Stalker thing. But hell, am i going to Cyber-Punch their Puny-Cyber faces! Even if i have to cross over 9000 websites!
A few people pay/blackmail/etc a lot of other people into messing with my life, including the game. Most of their attempts to mess with the game have slanderous undertones, as they try to make it appear the game has bugs that do not exist.
Stalkers actually just shut off cron for about 9 hours this time. Frankly I have no idea what they're even trying to convince people of at this point. The server gets shut off randomly at the VM level, which has nothing to do with the game, they stop cron, which I didn't write, and sometimes they shut off the server right after I use ssh... which I also didn't write. So there's three problems occurring due to them currently and I don't even know what they're trying to sell as a lie at this point because they stopped making sense a while ago. I just ran the appropriate scripts, so the game state isn't even affected.

I have a question concerning an artifact.
Is Voltaire's Scarf talking about the Enlightenment Era-French writer, or the Epic modern day musician?

Just saw a message in Party Post than Congressional Security is out. Good thing I saved my ballistic armor.
No-one should have any reason to assassinate me, but it can't hurt.
Assassinations can though.

Is the entire line of presidential succession coded into the game? As in, if one were to successfully kill off the President and Vice President, would the speaker of the house then gain presidency, as would be the case in real life? If so, has this ever been successfully done before?

Does the increase Congressional Salaries really have a effect on our salary?If everyone decided to pass it, wouldn't we have a very high salary?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
That's not very realistic though for the US. Do you know how many riots have killed congressman? One. You might as well include a random chance to be killed by terrorists, given far more (although still very few) have been shot or killed by either foreign or domestic terrorists.

Q, maybe you should make some type of civillian riot system. If the happiness is negative there should be a chance of citizens killing a congressmember, determined by constituent support
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
By the way, seeing as public happiness is all of 2.79%, is there a mechanic in the game in which a popular uprising topples the government, i.e. revolution? If not, should there be?
There is not. For each red stat past the first, every member of Congress loses CSP on a weekly basis. So if the country is going to shit, people get angry and much more likely to unelect everyone.

Raise the debt I suppose... but it's the speaker of the house, Brannigans Law himself who is calling for the increase of salaries, simply because he wants "maximum damage" as he put it. At least your game isn't boring Delosford. It's not real life, we can afford to have shit hit the fan, unlike actual congress, which tends to spread faeces regardless...
