Under rating threshold (show) how does relax suicide restrictions not hurt happiness a lot. People can't be too happy that their friends and family are killing themselves and suicide survivors that change their mind about suicide won't be happy either.

I'm not actually sure whether it does or not.

Under rating threshold (show) I'm not sure how possible this is, but can you make it so that, on the Binary Bills page, the greenness/redness of the bills corresponds to whether or not that effect is positive for your party? For instance, a Green Party member would see red for "animal testing legal" and green for "GMO products banned."

Developer response from delosford

It would be possible, but you can look at the visualization at the bottom (or your bill introduce list) to get the same information.

Under rating threshold (show) Im trying to open this in browser on iOS not working any way it can work

Developer response from delosford

Anything with a web browser can play Clout fine. It's all HTML. Kongregate may be stopping you from getting to the game, which is an entirely separate problem. There are also ways to bypass Kongregate and play the game with your Kongregate ID. Ask around about it.

Under rating threshold (show) every time i try to play on my ban GMO bill it accuses me of hacking. this makes me particularly unhappy.

Does the button say "Cooldown"? I've seen some browsers that don't disable disabled things.

Under rating threshold (show) Why only 3.8/5? :(

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

Rating fraud has had a major impact on the rating of the game. A recent large advertising push helped get it back in line with the true rating, but it still has a ways to go since people rate it around a 4 on average these days.

Under rating threshold (show) Is it worth it for us to do various research bills to increase GDP with our current debt and tax rates? As in, will we earn back the debt faster than the debt increases by doing research bills? Just looking for a yes or no answer. I don't have the data because you don't give it...

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

The debt is going to increase way faster than anything except direct paydowns can compensate for when the difference between it and the gdp value is this high.

Aug. 16, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) This will almost instantly make them regret farming relics if it makes them a target for assassinations, i think, that is if they are wearing no armor since armor will just protect you and assassinations will only boost invincibility.

+ - !

(-1)

Developer response from delosford

Well, you can already see who has the most relics since you appear once per relic. This didn't happen. So I did something else.

12q12q9

Aug. 16, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) Make it an even playing field and make the relic holders list go by people with the most relics that way there is a downside to getting multiple relics once there become fewer relic available.

+ - !

12q12q9

Aug. 16, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) Q why do you hate people multiple relics so much if they earn them. Aren't there a limited number of relics? So once relics run out, it will make people with multiple relics a huge target.

Under rating threshold (show) There should be a bill to introduce mandatory voting and preferential voting, although it would cost a lot of clout

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

Mandatory voting serves no purpose because plenty enough people vote in order to act as a representative sample. The only possible aberration is due to the fact that the voters are self-selected. Which as far as I know tends to skew voters a bit towards the older generations, but I don't recall ever seeing anything that implied the overall general political attitudes of the nation are not properly represented by this system.

Under rating threshold (show) Is it possible to get help from other countries while in war?

Not presently, no. Foreign Relations aren't really that realistic or interesting presently, though this will eventually change.

Due to the fact that religion is divorced from any particular political party in The Cloutiverse: nobody gives a shit whether or not you're gay.

Under rating threshold (show) I don't think you understand, Tarrock. They're teaching strange things in school, these days, like the history of places that AREN'T the US! Not only that; they're telling lies--some teachers are even telling their students that the USA didn't single-handedly win World War II! Think of the children--they're our future! We can't let them be corrupted by things like that!

Aug. 14, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) You said that people would be able to find you in clout because the kongregate API doesn't know the difference between fans and friends. Is there a way you could make it so both parties have to be fans/friends of each other and then they are both added to each others associate list?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

There is unfortunately no way to do this as of the last time I checked the Kongregate API. They don't distinguish between fans and friends in any way. I could in theory pull your list of fans and then pull each of their list of fans and cross-reference theirs with yours to see if you're friends... but if you had 100 friends, that'd be 101 calls to Kongregate per page load for your associates. The performance would be comically terrible, and I doubt Kongregate would appreciate it.

If firefox is rendering that poorly, I'd suggest using a different browser. I can't even begin to think of what could be causing that, considering it's the button on the left.
