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"

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.

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.

Under rating threshold (show) 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 >.<

+ - !

(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) 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!

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.

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

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).

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

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.

Under rating threshold (show) 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!

Clout is a simulation game, and as such there is no magical way to regain health instantly. You heal over time, just like in real life.

Under rating threshold (show) 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.

+ - !

(12)

Developer response from delosford

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?

Under rating threshold (show) 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.

Mar. 31, 2015

Under rating threshold (show) 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

Under rating threshold (show) 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.

+ - !

(7)

Developer response from delosford

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?
