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.

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,

RIP in pepperoni, clout. My careers as Commu- *Socialist* and Conservative MPs were quite enjoyable, what with the constant assassination attempts, drug abuse and fisticuffs with paparazzis. It really is too bad that... this... happened, Clout itself was a wonderful experience.

Keep in mind the Church of Scientology actually attempted to do something like that decades ago. But I doubt that A. They would do it again, and B. That the developer is a serious enough threat that they would attempt to do something. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Freakout

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.

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 :/

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.

Ah, yes. I meant that it had to go from Kong. I don't have a Facebook, but I heard that it's there. Do you have any other websites its on, delos?

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!

wow judging from the comments it sounds like Delosford turned out to be a gigantic tool. Such a shame too, I was looking forward to playing the game again. Inb4 Delos trolls this comment.

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!

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

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.

That said the verbal abuse gets quite old; especially in darthblambalah's case where darthdambalah was trying to come at it very nicely and he got slandered without reason.

Raluyen, calling Delos a retard is not helping; he is just concerned because some buttheads hacked the game and a few players have tried to exploit him. I might do the same thing; our (the players) concern is that legitimate problems might be overlooked. That said, his concerns are legitimate as there are legitimate exploiters and hackers, so he is not a "retard", just a little paranoid.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.

also sorry if you thought i was slandering you, you actually seem like a nice guy, it's just that you need to calm down and stop assuming everyone is trying to slander you! (ps: also, i would not even have a reason to slander you since in the place i live in, the scientology church doesn't exist.)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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!)

Could you remove the content and ban the stalkers, please? It's really hard to access important, relevant info under all this crap.

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?

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.

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.
The game works fine. Were you one of the fucking fools trying to play on the nonstandard interface and connecting to the wrong server? Wow, thanks a lot for not giving me credit for my own game and then slandering me. You're obviously the one everyone should be listening to.

Public ownership is very different from state ownership. In state ownership, the legitimate government of the country controls it. In public ownership, it is not really "owned" at all in the sense we understand it. Air is (or at least used to be) an excellent example of a publicly owned good. Everybody is entitled to a free supply of it, and it does not lie under control of the state.
