It's gone.. just as I'm really getting back into it :( This saddens me a lot, I really enjoyed this game.
I have to admit though, for delosford to be writing abusive comments to users like he was, I'm not hugely surprised. Honestly, I'd even thought someone else may have been using his account it was that bad.
Such a shame. RIP Clout

This saddens me. I started playing a few years ago. Since I move around alot, I didn't really get to play again until the end of highschool. I tried to send a message to Delosford. I offered my opinion and advice. All he has to give me in return is insults. So even though I hate to see this great game go; good riddance Delosford. You single-handedly ruined your own masterpiece.

God delosford. I just was asking a genuine question about getting clout from playing against a bill. The game must have been just a little slow for one day, cause I didn't see an obvious jump in clout considering the amount of capital I invested until a few days later. Get a grip on it man; not all of your players are saboteurs.
I don't even know what you're talking about, but if I went off on you it was for a reason. Sounds like the only one who needs to readjust their grip on reality is you.

To give some clarification, the game is taken down on kongregate. It doesn't mean it's dead. I doubt the game will ever come back because the delosford got a week ban for trying to upload the game again XD. He also seemed to not say a lot of nice things about kongregate on his fb post he made today :/

I rate the game 1/5. Gameplay quality is good, satire is high, but the developer is a nutjob who bans any players who don't agree with his Nazi ideals. He will steal your money and then ban you. Do not play unless you want some nutjob who thinks some stalkers are trying to fill up planes with plants so that he can't have a seat.
The FAA seems to disagree with you. Also The FBI, DHS, etc, etc etc. However, people who are working with the stalkers will always try to call me crazy when I shed light on their activities... no mater how obvious the evidence and how poorly-conducted your coverups.

I encourage any new players to leave this game immediately. The game has been ruined at this point, with all the banning, kreds will be stolen, and you will be verbally harassed.
Please upvote this comment so that newcomers can see it.
No kreds have been stolen, there's just a few sad-ass players that think spending a couple bucks and playing this game for years entitles them to flagrantly break the rules and not get banned.

Please, delos, stop being so aggressive. The playerbase is coming up with genuine concerns and the least you could do is look into it and try to fix the problems. Just stop assuming everyone is trying to mess with you. In fact, most of us here really care for the game and want to help you with it, and, honestly, alienating everyone with those kneejerk reactions is a surefire way to destroy the community, which is the last thing you want. So, once again, on behalf of the cloutiverse community (which, I believe, would agree with this), please, redirect your efforts towards improving the game instead of attacking those who try to be helpful and provide feedback.

1/5. It's an okay game, but the developer just verbally harasses his playerbase, bans them, and doesn't give good reasoning for his actions. It's just an overall unhappy arua and time could be spent better. Dev banned someone for having a common name (not in game name, but his legitimate real name that he used for the game) and dev put a conspiracy behind it that said person was slandering dev- banned. Do not recommend imo
No, I banned someone for making references to my personal life in-game which proved they were working with the organizations stalking me. On top of that: they broke the rule of denying the existence of the people stalking me. The end.

Win Bill that might pass?? No prob, Delos will just create an excuse so he can interact with it and ruin it... Apparently someone is cheating so he can make some changes...
Can you come up with another explanation as to why a good number of people who don't actually play the game suddenly came back just to vote in a win bill committee? Like usual, your conspiracy theories have no merit or basis in reality, and the complaints boil down to "waaaah he's not letting cheating benefit me! Waaaahhhhh"

Delosford calm down a bit please, I see you are posting quite volatile comments no need for that now. We don't know why you are angry, but please don't vent it on us. People will come to dislike you(and by association your game). I guess something IRL happened that pissed you off(but I ofc don't know). I'll try giving you emotional support, you made a great game and I look forward to seeing more from you(since you had some other games planned). I don't know you personally but I am sure you are a great person(since you were posting great lovely comments before)
So in other words: you don't play the game, act like an asshole all the time, and pretend you're better than everyone else when you get called on your retarded bullshit. Sounds more like "crossfit" than scientology for this fucking loser.

This was a great game, and in concept it still is. But well... I don't believe you anymore. Simple. It's sad that a good game like this is being crashed like this- and if what you said were true, this would have gone public by long. Please, dev, if you really think that you are correct, look at your situation from an outside perspective: How would you think about anyone who acts like you?

Hey there, Mr. Developer! I was wondering if you'd like to read an advance copy of my upcoming novel. The first chapter is 300 pages long, written during a period of brief insanity, and I changed every third letter to that symbol Prince used during the editing process. I believe this will encourage people to skip straight to chapter 2, which is more interesting (it is also read-to-win)! Thanks for your attention!
Hey there, terrible troll! I'm not sure what kind of mental deficiency made you think that your analogy was good, apt or funny... but I regret to inform you that it wasn't. I also can't help but notice you don't have a little D next to your name, and I have a completely unique game based on politics that generates actual money from people who play it. I might have slightly more of an idea what I'm doing than a troll who hasn't even played the game. Enjoy your report for spam!

Delos, chill man. As the developer could you not at least investigate players concerns and problems rather than just saying they don't happen. Glitches occasionally happen, not everyone is trying to exploit the system and sometimes things don't work out quite the way they are programmed. I am not denying that there are hackers out there. But I don't think that every person with a problem is a hacker. Is it too much to investigate whether superdupercat's problem was legitimate. Maybe PM him to find out what items he lost and then check and make sure that he was of the appropriate CT to obtain those objects. Then, if you decide to give it to him, check to make sure he does not pawn those objects, and if he does then take whatever action you deem appropriate.
What the fuck are you even talking about? Is the new strategy just to make up random shit to try and slander me regardless of the fact that it doesn't make sense and never happened?

Sometimes your mouse might be buggy and (despite clicking only once) the mouse itself will double click stuff. I have a half-broken mouse and I either have to click doubly hard for it to work or it will be hyper-sensitive and double-click everything. Maybe your mouse is the problem?

Basically what happened to this game is: People repoted bugs and their existence was denied by the developer. Why have beta testers if you don't trust their opinion?
No... lots of people reported bugs that didn't actually exist. It turned out many of them were deliberately trying to damage the game either of their own accord or by working with the people stalking me, and they got banned for it. The game also isn't in beta.

Con artists, delos? THEY pay back YOUR customers who YOU'VE insulted and whose game YOU'VE ruined, at THEIR expense, and YOU dare to call THEM con artists.
No wonder that no one bothered to comment on this game for the past 3 days.

Q, this is a great game, but I have one thing to ask. The weekly player base has dwindled to under 300 weekly active players and yet the required nominees for Speaker of the House is still high; the highest candidate has almost half and by now most players that will vote have voted. Could you please lower the required nominees to make this more feasibly competitive? Thank you.

Good job delos. Your insecurities made kong take the game down. Now there's nothing left to slander. Isn't this what you wanted? Or are you gonna pinch your fat rolls again and accuse Kongregate of slandering too? Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence.

Still terrorizing your players I see. Somehow I see your reaction to comments as more slanderous than the actual comment, which 10 times out of 10 is a legitimate concern that you're simply dismissing as slander.
I'm dismissing things as slander because they have no basis in reality. Sounds like stepping razor is still mad he got banned and couldn't complain his way out of it. What a fucking loser. Do you not even realize that people claim they have problems with the game and I look into it and they don't even have an active account? Just some noob account with 150/160 clout that's never done anything?

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.

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!)

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
