Yep. It's not exactly shocking when you look at how the game works. Notice how you always go through the same file for page requests?

Under rating threshold (show) @Delosford Don't worry, we can rebuild it as many times as needed. After all, congress being open for cat speeches is more important than schools having textbooks from this century.

Under rating threshold (show) Will there be any updates to the gameplay soon? I'd like to see some new bills such as: BINARIES - Creationism/Evolution in schools That's all I can really think of for that... Also Increase/Decrease neuroscience research

Developer response from delosford

forums.cloutiverse.net, specifically the Clout/Announcements forum lays out what future updates I have planned for Clout. Also note that gameplay will change a non-trivial amount when The Lobby is released to the public.

It probably helps that the community stays active and I'm developing a tie-in game that's nearly released.

Under rating threshold (show) @Delosford Crash through the wall, probably. Or maybe you could just ride the thing to congress. Might scare the shit out of your opponents if they see you ride a tank to congress and come out with two bazookas in each hand.

so apparently the Capitol Building is now demolished into rubble by the heavily armored vehicles that Congresspersons keep driving through the walls.

Under rating threshold (show) Oh yes and having two bazookas in the house of congress also makes sense... I want to ride a horse now.

How would you get the horse into Congress exactly? Or a car, for that matter? A tank?

Under rating threshold (show) I supported this game from any other games in Kongregate! I love how the Developer responses to comments and take feedback into consideration! I love the part that, although you need Kreds to get all the good stuff, it STILL can be earned without using a single cent! I LOVE THIS TYPES OF GAMES! I would like to suggest something: Add some 'Extras' in the game to make it more fun! I know there are some extras that make it fun, but i'm not satisfied ;)

So extras as in random people unimportant to the story who get killed flippantly?

Developer response from delosford

Multiboxing isn't allowed, is stopped to any meaningful extent in an automated fashion, and would result in repercussions for the main character if an established player did it.

Guess the stalkers modified something at some point. I'll take a look, though really the prohibition is for your own good. Not really sure how you expect to do much with negative Clout.

The growth rates don't have a direct impact on nation rank, though obviously you won't have to wait too long before the negative growth will start to drop the nation rank.

Under rating threshold (show) I can keep spending clout even though I'm in the negatives.... awesome.

(2)

Developer response from delosford

No, you can go negative once if you play an ability that costs Clout. You can't play it again while in the negatives, though. This is so you don't spend all your Clout buying an ability and then end up unable to play it.

Developer response from delosford

You're not really supposed to know what bills do. It was intentional that you'd just have to make educated guesses about the outcome of bills as a real Congressperson would do. You're all a bit spoiled with the player-run wiki having 5+ years of player-deduced mechanics and stats. In the early days, nobody knew jack shit, and that was how I liked it. It was really pretty hilarious to watch. For me. Since I was the only one who knew what things did. I was inspired by UO, which had totally opaque mechanics in the olden days. It made the game a lot more interesting since you didn't worry about numbers and such as much as doing things. Though there was also a site called uo.stratics where people would figure stuff out and post it over time, which I thought was neat, too.

Under rating threshold (show) i have a programmers question. what language/engine was clout made with/on?

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

Clout runs on a Linux (Ubuntu) machine that uses nginx for a web server, and is written in PHP/HTML5/JS. It uses MySQL for a database.

Aug. 18, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) I think there should be some sort of cap on how much people can play on binary bills. For instance, .001% or some such would prevent people from playing against it anymore, or 200% would prevent people from playing for the bill anymore. It's just annoying to see floods of 100+ plays after the bill reaches 0% or 100%. I feel like this relic-hunting energy wasting is getting in the way of the rest of the game.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

Notice how relics aren't being given out for those bills anymore? That's not a coincidence. The protections against farming needed to be updated considering they were written for 1/10th the playerbase.

Under rating threshold (show) So far, this game is awesome. Another great game in the "Text-Based" Genre! Puzzling my brain with Politics while discussing bills in "Party Chat" and "Global Chat" will always get me thinking, "How come no one came up with this Idea before?" Thank you, Delosford, for bringing the Kongregate Community this Great, Humorous and Simple game!

Under rating threshold (show) @anto, what you can do is, open an ingame link a new tab, then copy it and paste it somewhere you can access from your phone but noone else can (or, as i did, PM it to delos) then copy and paste the link into the url bar on your phone.

You described what was going on completely inaccurately, so it's not really surprising my answer didn't address the problem.
