Under rating threshold (show) Hey, could you maybe add a scroll bar for the VIP section? People can't vote for Kiran anymore.

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

No, but I will be increasing the nomination counts to cut down on useless candidates. The real problem is something with the dead people tags anyway.

Sep. 15, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) I would like to recommend that if a Speaker Candidate died before the election that those who voted for them would have their vote reset so they could vote for someone else. Especially considering right now over 400 votes are for dead people.

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

The purpose of the system is to discourage killing speakers/candidates. It's worked quite well for the last few years.

Under rating threshold (show) It's seem that the stalkers stopped disturbing us for now. Through, no one know when Wave++ will come. You handled the attack very well as far as i'm concerned. Speaking about stalkers, if this isn't too private, could we know why Scientologists are up to get you? (It's ok if you don't want to respond, it's kinda personal). I think most of us want to know.

Developer response from delosford

It's a pretty long story, and I don't really have all the answers yet.

Under rating threshold (show) So you can manually input disasters? Oh! How about make Richard Nixon president for a month!

Developer response from delosford

I think Zombie Nixon might have been president at some point.

Under rating threshold (show) So uh, what's the deal with these critical assassinations that are occurring in just 1 assassination against speaker runners that deal 100 health points of damage and bypass Martial Law, CongSec, 10 protection, and an obscene defense stat...?

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

the stalkers, I'd guess

Under rating threshold (show) So now that the hurricane is over, and we're largely unphased, what are you going to throw at us now delos? I know it's randomly generated, but you should really add a personal button for yourself. Like, a developer screen with giant red button for "nuclear mishap" and a bunch of smaller buttons with stuff like hurricanes and riots and tsunamies and stuff.

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

I assure you I can manually input any disaster I want to...

Under rating threshold (show) Aight mate, I know you're a proficient programmer, but please get a different hosting company that doesn't glitch out on us at 1:00AM (prime time for clouting) Or at least gather some evidence and report the stalkers to somewhere or something.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

Feel free to use the time the game is down to go after the people I listed. You have the power to do something about it already. You can also contact the hosting company. Writing comments on the game, however, doesn't do jack shit. Aside from that: 1am is not peak playtime.

(-4)

Developer response from delosford

Feel free to explain how cron just shuts itself off for 9 hours. The hosting company has also admitted the mysterious shutdown problems are due to their servers, not mine. Though I doubt it's the CIA or FBI doing it, as you would know if you had been paying attention. It's also a fact that the game has literally never crashed, and the only downtime of any import that wasn't caused by the stalkers was when I moved the server (which stopped their efforts for a while, which is partially how I know they're responsible.)

Under rating threshold (show) "The arbitrary game clock? Does anyone actually care? Everything happens at the same RL time." I overdosed taking one hit of cocaine after doing no drugs for 30 hours.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

Ok? That has nothing to do with the numbers on the clock. I can, however, tell you that players have absolutely no idea how overdoses work and a lot of mythology about them is circulated by people who try to game the system. There are purposefully a number of random elements in the system to stop people from working it out.

Under rating threshold (show) Maybe they should hire you to fix their cobbled together systems so that they run maintenance free as well.

Something tells me they wouldn't manage to make an offer that would entice me to do so. Again.

Developer response from delosford

Based on..? Oh, the arbitrary time you got used to? Ok. Well, that's not really a problem, but I guess since it seems a couple people have gotten really OCD about it, I can change it back for you.

Under rating threshold (show) "Game is never broken. Hasn't broken in its entire existence, because I'm that good of a programmer." Except that time when we got unlimited energy.

+ - !

(32)

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.

Under rating threshold (show) Screw those stalkers.....

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

They're definitely annoying. Looks like they're mostly jealous that the game runs maintenance-free, when the shitty-ass cobbled-together systems they run require constant attention to keep running in a reasonable state.

Under rating threshold (show) EOD didn't trigger again.

+ - !

(5)

Developer response from delosford

Stalkers shut off cron again. I didn't write cron, and cron doesn't have bugs like this, so it's obviously not a natural occurrence.

Ucalino

Sep. 11, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) EOD never triggered so we didn't get stat/stress/health changes.

The stalkers is what's wrong. Also had a downing after an ssh login. So more info is getting released. Rejoice!

Sep. 11, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) This game is awesome! What do you think about a way to save equipment as a set? I like to accessorize for the occasion, i.e. Armor when i'm afk, high speak when passing bills, etc. and it'd be nice to just choose an 'outfit'

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

You should gain a better understanding of what stats do so that you can build a balanced set of gear instead of stat stacking (which is not optimal play).

Under rating threshold (show) I don't think EOD happened, at least not completely, the nation stats are the same as yesterday.

+ - !

(-1)

Developer response from delosford

I ran the scripts manually to compensate for what the stalkers did. It's possible things just didn't change much. If any bills still didn't get applied for some reason, they'll pass/apply at the next EOD.

Under rating threshold (show) Stalker are indeed a plague. What's fun in the possibility that you can't play the game when you should(as someone says)? Anti-Stalckers, as long as anything is legal and not dangerous, I will indeed support you as much as I can (but I can't do much). You already won my gratitude.

Realistically I won't be advising anyone to do anything, but the information is there should anyone see it.

Under rating threshold (show) Server is down. I hate this idiots! What's wrong with these 'Stalker' guys? What wrong have we done? We're trying to enjoy a perfectly awesome game and they come in and ruin everything for us! Dammit! Hell, i'm going to find a way to let them taste their own Cyber-Medicine! Maybe i'll rally some users to start a Anti-Stalker Revolution! Who's with me!!??

+ - !

(4)

Developer response from delosford

Well, you'll all be getting a rather lot of information about them today. I'm thinking home addresses, workplace addresses and license plates. They keep it up and everyone from their immediate families get released. Let's see if they care more about them than themselves.

kiraninja

Sep. 10, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) And after they finally let the assassin into the hospital he kills El_Raton just because. Afterwards he has the nerve to try to get back into the hospital and they tell him to go away again.

sir, you're going to need to stop stabbing people. It's against hospital policy unless you're a surgeon.

No, the server was manually shut off by the stalkers. As such, their home addresses are going into global today.

Under rating threshold (show) When I try to investigate certain people, namely Brannigans Law and El_Raton, it says that they do not exist. The same thing happened when I tried to blackmail Brannigans Law, although I was able to release the information to the media.

As other players have explained: you're targeting dead people.

Under rating threshold (show) I really like the Stalker Idea thing, it gives the game an extra twist.. You are trying to save the country while the programmer is threatened and sabotaged. Its like "The Neverending story"

Under rating threshold (show) Delos, I just want you to know that I have made a religion out of Timecube, and now yell at my friends "You probably don't know even the 4 day! You are a liar!". It's more fun than being a pastafarian

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

I think it sort of is a religion already? But like... with one follower. So maybe you're like, a splinter faction of timecube.
