It's a bummer that Clout is gone but I definitely understand why it happened. The developer has acted like, well, a jerk.

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.)

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.

Is it intended for Oversight Committee to no longer stop poison pills? If not, could you please remove the PP from my Increase Organic Farming Subsidies bill?
Just stalker shit again. Looks like they paid off someone at the hosting company. DB process was shut down this morning, and there's no way that can just randomly happen.

Geez, Delos, I didn't put any negative means at my comment, nor I trying to slander you and the game, don't be so serious >.<
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.

goodbye guys. I genuinely loved this game and really would not like to play on FB. (BTW, I was Farkas and then Sir Spittoon)(not sure why I said that). Anyway, I'm genuinely sorry things had to go this way. Bye!

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).

I love Delosford's silly system. I finally lost an election, which caused me to be unbanned from the game. How convenient :P

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.

It's a shame this game had to go. This seemed really unique to me and it was pretty fun. Ah well. Things were getting a little heated and I thought this might happen. Either way, delos, you had a great game. Thanks for the fun while it lasted!

Finally a normal comment for once: For about two weeks now, it seems I am unable to get any usual amount of Clout. Any known issues here?

So, now we have a negative salary. It's a thing, I guess?
I highly doubt it'll stop the assassinations or, indeed, do anything but screw over the newbies but we'll see.

I'm not continuing because I felt like the game ate up too much of my time. Also, he was not the first to run a game like this and he will not be the last. Sasha Slutsker ran a game like this but gave up on it,

Yes, because only sane people carry around poisoned walnuts in an aspirin container. If someone is really stalking you, by all means, go to the proper authorities.
Yeah, the authorities mysteriously misplace any evidence I give them. Well, the local authorities, anyway. There's also a strange van emitting wifi signals hanging around my place constantly. When I brought it to the attention of the local police: they first tried to convince me there was nothing possibly wrong and it was all normal. As I presented further evidence of the obvious abnormality of its presence and the wifi signals: the cop I was talking to stopped the charade and told me: "We know whose van it is. We can't tell you that. But it's supposed to be there." Sounds pretty legit, right?

There should honestly be a more convenient way to apply for the Lobby, since the "Become A Lobbyist" button doesn't work.
I also wouldn't mind becoming a lobbyist myself, given that my career as a congressperson has met yet another unfortunate end.

This is truly the best simulation game on Kongregate. I always admired congressmen and their jobs. This game, not only shows us the struggle of making people give away their hard earned cash so you can buy your much needed daily 1000$ worth of cigarettes and alcohol. The struggle of saving squirrels while some weird stalkers that call themselves "Rightful citizens of the United States of America", or something, follow you around shouting right in your ear "OUR CHILDREN ARE STARVING"; "THE TERRORISTS ARE KILLING US"; "NICE TIE BRO!"...damn assholes...Anyway, like I was saying, not only it shows the struggle, but thanks to delosford, the creator of this amazing simulator, we can put ourselves into the skin of a congressman and see for ourselves how it is to deceive the masses and even put people into slavery. 5/5

After all my purchases, I have high stats in everything but intelligence. God damn it, I'm the problem with government. This really is a political simulator.

After surviving 2 days as speaker when salaries were 200k i can attest that salaries effect the amount of assassinations.

What the hell are you talking about? What is wrong with you? If I didn't play the game, why would I be here. Please back up your claims before you slander me.

I've lost my custom items: Mime Makeup, Yellow King Robes, Topaz Hardhat. They're not equipped to me or in my inventory. http://imgur.com/FBG2NTc&FqCWVXQ (There's two images, one of my inventory and one of my purchase history.)

This MAY come as a surprise to you, but just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean that they are a stalker. None of us even messed with the game, and you tried to frame kiran. If anyone did anything wrong, it's you.
Tried to frame kiran? Some of the shit you make up is hilarious. Projecting, as usual. I also think it's hilarious that you're trying to convince people that you disagreeing with me had anything to do with anything. Anybody who's ever looked at global is well aware that people disagree with and even insult me all the time without getting banned. But I won't put up with people slandering me in my own fucking game, much less after trying to damage it. What else would you expect?

Attempted to try to tell the dev to just try and surf the code to fix stuff, got all my clout, money, and health taken away. What.

Came back to clout after a week AFK, Constituent support down the drain because the whole nation is in the shitter, spent the next 3 days doing meth, coke, and opiates, OD'd twice, but managed to get myself in good standing just in time for reelection. 10/10: would fuck america up again.

'If there was any spuriousness to what I did, people would actually be supporting you in-game. Yet nobody is. Because they saw what actually happened, too.' Oh, Delos. That's probably because I tried to support someone you banned in game and got banned for it, slandered, and mocked. I wonder why no one would dare speak up after that point.
