Under rating threshold (show) Hey, Delos, you know you control what's written on the page, right? If you want credit, just make the game page say "(C) Delos Ford 2015, www.delos.ford" or whatever, and stop making people jump through hoops.

Why the fuck would I do that? Stop connecting to the game in nonstandard ways.

Under rating threshold (show) delos, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!? i get it that you are traumatized because of the stalking thing, BUT THE THING IS YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN! nobody is going to play the game anymore if you insult them! (TL;DR ver: be good with your players and they will be good to you!)

Under rating threshold (show) If you're going to ban me for no real reason, at least refund my kreds. I don't see why I should be cheated out of money just because you're schizo.

+ - !

(22)

Developer response from delosford

looooool, you flagrantly broke a rule and got banned for it. You don't get your money back in such an instance, and it would be ridiculous to expect such a thing. MMOs do not refund people who get banned. That happens literally never.

Under rating threshold (show) Yeah, Aise was at 48 votes for a while and suddenly he jumps ahead at the last minute with 13 votes out of nowhere. Please fix this.

Developer response from delosford

Sounds like good strategy in conjunction with an increased conservative player count. I'll look into it, though.

Under rating threshold (show) Perhaps instead of muting someone who did one thing, which was change the color of chats using HTML, which was harmless, you could ban the asshole (12q12q9) who constantly messes with your games. He's made you lose money by exploiting the dropboxes for only 1 kred, he's exploited the money, encouraged other to do it, and he's repeatedly messed with the game (putting the socialist "I AM GOD" on the libercon team). So rather than mute the guy who did something that was essentially harmless, you could just ban the asshole who f**ks with your game to get off.

+ - !

(35)

Developer response from delosford

No, see, the problem is that what he did was play along with the stalkers. You also need to read global, because you're looking a bit clueless right now.

Under rating threshold (show) I've contacted the Kongregate administration about you, and I've encouraged others to do the same. You have absolutely no right to harass players and steal our money.

+ - !

(15)

Developer response from delosford

Harass players? You come and leave slanderous comments on the game and I refute them. That's about as laughable as your claim that I've stolen from you. Kongregate hasn't even seen fit to contact me, so that's how credible your complaints are coming across as. I've already proven to them that people fraudulently downrate the game, so they already know most the people helping you report me for nothing don't even play the game.

Under rating threshold (show) If anyone in this game has correlation to the stalkers, it's 12q12q9 for sure. Seeing as he is a well known mutliboxer and completely ignores the game rules regarding privacy.

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

12q claims to hack/multibox, but he actually can't. Well, not without getting banned, anyway.

Under rating threshold (show) So after coming back from being banned 4 months ago, it seems that your life is even more crazy than before. It would certainly be a good plot for a movie. You think the church of Scientology is after you and that any incompetence on your part is just stalkers.Plus the anger you display to the few people who can still play the game, is just hilarious. For an example I click on "argue for" and it tells me hacking the game is bad. ...What? DEVELOPER RESPONSE FROM DELOSFORD This doesn't actually happen. I guess I could ban you for slandering the game, but I doubt you even have an account. ...here's some more Every time Delos put updates, this happen DEVELOPER RESPONSE FROM DELOSFORD I actually post updates to the live game, which everyone knows if they've been around long enough. Which means you're slandering me and the game and thus will be banned. Defensive much? Bug reports and jokes are now bannable. This is just a buyer beware for anyone who could still want to play this game.

+ - !

(17)

Developer response from delosford

This is quite possibly the most retardedly inaccurate comment anyone has ever posted on my game. Though you do have some stiff competition in the past. Which is comprised of more comments than you'd care to read. Which is clearly because nobody plays the game at all.

Under rating threshold (show) God, what happened to this game? It use to be so simple: filibuster a bill here, assassinate an opponent there. But now everything has gone to hell. Now it is "stalkers" and "hacking." i am starting to wonder if any of these stalkers are actually real.

+ - !

(29)

Developer response from delosford

Well, explain who took two poisoned walnuts out of an aspirin container on my desk at work. If you can do that, then you get to express the opinion that the people stalking me may not be real. Otherwise, you get banned for doing so because it's slanderous and frankly pretty fucking rude to do so.

Jan. 10, 2015

Under rating threshold (show) Look, Q, I know it's probably someone tampering with the database, but could you just try to do what Fuora/TechDragon said? I know code analysis sounds attractive, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet and test by hand.

+ - !

(5)

Developer response from delosford

You're joking, right? I posted the fucking code. Someone is tampering with the database, and shut down the goddamn process on the server. So unless you think code that's set to run just isn't running and mysql randomly crashes for no reason: there is obviously no bug.

May. 21, 2015

Under rating threshold (show) Well, this is sad, I really enjoyed this game...The concept was funny and great. The execution was nice, and it made for a good game. Though really, delosford needs to calm down and maybe this is his chance. The replies to comments are just insane. I mean, people are sympathizing with his stalker and hacker problem, telling him he needs to calm down and stop thinking everyone is lying about bugs. Frankly, it's true. The once funny replies are now abusive cussing out of people who are just trying to tell him to chill out. We're not all out to cheat you, man.

Under rating threshold (show) Actually Delos, I have gotten the same message a few times when I have pressed "argue for" too. Just reload and the problem is solved; no big deal; Rorschach is not slandering the game.

Developer response from delosford

No, that doesn't actually happen unless you're trying to do something you shouldn't, such as play abilities when you don't have energy by multi-clicking buttons or hitting back.

Developer response from delosford

I'm not sure you know what broken means. That also lasted for like 10 minutes. If that's actually the best you can come up with for "broken" in the 5+ year history of the game: I'm pretty sure you just proved my point.

Developer response from delosford

Unless MySQL has a random shutdown bug, which it doesn't, it's someone messing with the game in one way or another. Stalkers are obviously behind it.

Under rating threshold (show) My question is this Q, if what you say is true (Which I am not denying) then why is there nothing in the news about this? This warrants a movie, let alone any coverage. And it can't be that you're keeping it secret, because you're talking to us. I'm confused about this. Please clear it up, and make a movie. I want "Clout: The Movie"

Jan. 04, 2015

Under rating threshold (show) Welp, since it's what all the cool kids are doing nowadays, I'll put my two cents in. I don't know if the stalkers are real, and I don't care. I haven't been impacted by inquisitorial efforts, I have enough trouble dealing with other players that developed unexplained hate-boners for me. So I don't bother questioning the status of Q's story, or of those who attempt to question it. Furthermore, IF Q is off his rocker, what makes you people think that provoking him is going to help anything? Just let him live in his delusions, and stop waging campaigns for events that happened months ago (from what I can tell.)

Developer response from delosford

The stalkers will be international news in a couple months.

Titanshadow12

Jan. 17, 2015

Under rating threshold (show) Why not just enjoy the game without complaining or calling Q insane? Seriously, his game, his rules. Play by them, don't get banned, and maybe try not stepping on his toes rather than seeing how close you can get to pissing him off, getting banned, and crying in the comments.

(5)

Developer response from delosford

You claimed that every time the game is updated, 'this' happens, which was an obvious reference to the database being downed by hackers. That does not actually occur during updates, and since you're talking about updates: you necessarily have been around during an update. Which means you already know the database doesn't go down during updates. Which means you were, in fact, being slanderous with full knowledge of that fact. Or just completely lying out your ass to try and make me look bad.

Under rating threshold (show) Apparently games made almost 2 years ago are considered "hot" and "new". That's ok though, since this overly complex interactive simulator of real-life politics enlightens me on how deep down, we're all scummy politicians.

Closer to 5 years ago. Luckily text-based games never get more dated. The advertising also coincides with the impending release of the first tie-in game for the world (The Lobby).

Depends on if I ban your character or your whole account. I can do either. Just let me know if you'd like me to permanently ban you!

Under rating threshold (show) I can confirm that I am not a "Stalker" I have no reason to do so. So why is it that the fan base is being accused of being these so called "stalkers" if you really wanted to stop them then wouldn't it make more sense to try and get the fan base on your side. I will continue to play Clout. I suck at it but I will continue. If you ban me for what I say then at least look into me and try and find some shred of evidence. I am on your side whether or not these people actually exist because you have made a remarkable game with a wonderful idea.
