Hey Q, if I pay you 5 bucks through paypal, can I be made into a lobbyist? I hear that you aren't just "handing out" lobbyist stuff anymore.

Q, perhaps the server is getting DDOS'd now? Because instead of timing out once for a long time, it times out like every 5 minutes briefly or some weird thing.

For some reason, whenever I investigate in accordance with Deep Throat's suggestions, I get a gray screen, which forces me to refresh te page, and after doing so, th investigation fails to start. So here's the question: is it a problem on my side, and what can I do about this?

@KillerOfU33 The Lobby is in the beta and you have to have an invite to be able to play it. But it will be released to public soon as I heard.
The Lobby is nearly code-complete for what I'm planning to have in before the public launch. That means there's nothing but content generation left, and the release is imminent.

for some reason 3 of my skullduggery activities triggered a day early, which potential cost me a lot of money. Is this an intended feature or stalker related?
hard to say. There's a random time element to certain missions, so make sure you watch the bars on the mission status section instead of relying on the time it gives in the mission description. That's the base time, which is randomly modified.

So what's the whole lobbyist thing. How would one become a lobbyist? Do you have to be ct4 and have people backing you up?
The Lobby is a separate game, and trying to explain everything about it in a comment response wouldn't really be possible. Please go to forums.cloutiverse.net and read the sections under The Lobby if you'd like to know more about the game.

Ideas to stop the zombie speaker situation: An obscene amount of protection for the 2 leading speaker candidates, this might require a limit on how much people can run for speaker so it doesn’t get abused. Allow people to change their votes freely, possibly even a second and third choice that their vote is automatically transferred to should their previous choice die. A higher assassination price on speakers and speaker candidates (maybe applies to the 2 leading candidates?) because they are higher profile targets. Allow a friend to take your place should you die, although that could lead to many complications.
The existing downside of a speaker that does nothing for a month has been plenty to stop this from happening so far. The problem is that salaries are obscenely high, so players with no real investment in the game state are throwing around assassinations at visible targets with no real rhyme or reason. It's a transient problem.

It's true that without filter you don't see any bills, yet when you apply the "active" filter you do see squirrels-loving stuff. Applying the active filter will fix the problem somewhat until delos or the sever fix it definitively.
And look like stalkers are back, dam!
Well, the game has literally never crashed. Would you like to see the emails from the hosting company where they admit this is entirely their servers doing it?

I love devs that take so much care to answer every comment no matter how silly it might be! Seriously, my heart almost grows in size when I play their games!!

You definitely shouldn't use it as a high school on kong. It will be used by people (including myself) to find targets to investigate.

Hey, I've got a little problem. Just bought Research today. Then I put up a Economic Stimulus program, played 10 times on it. I found that I couldn't play Research Committee on it, or any other bill. Any reason why I can't?

I believe someone claimed to have been able to call a conference committee on a bill that was over-sighted, leading people to believe that there was an exploit. The person who did it claimed he did so by editing the client-side html to enable committees, which seems like it's something that would not be allowed.
Yeah, there's protections in place against that sort of thing. You can change whatever you want in the interface, but the same validation occurs on the back-end so it doesn't matter. You'll just get a hacking message.

Two in game features that you should add:
1. Something that shows the total amount of money spent on drugs by congressmen.
2. Something that shows how much money you've spent on drugs (after you die or get unelected).

It seems that you do have some evidence that they've been harassing you, and you said they've harassed your friends and family too, so why don't you report it and have them arrested.
I've reported them repeatedly to the police. They just pull the same tactics with the police, which is followed by the police doing nothing. The FBI has been able to do more, but they're limited to federal crimes, which when it comes to computers has some specific requirements.

Ideas:Left/Right Scroll bar for voting page, make sets so you can switch all of your items out for different ones at the click of a button, a bill filter that shows bills you can play on without the clout tier penalty, a post feed that shows things from all posts you have access to in chronological order (including PAC).
Voting page doesn't need scrollbars. Item sets are not actually useful, but powergamers think they are. The game does not support powergaming, whether or not it's actually effective. You can search for bills without a CT penalty by searching by CT. I'm not really sure that the conglomerated post would be useful.

I have a question what happens to custom item tokens when you are assassinated or unelected?
Also there is a pricing inconsistency with the custom body slot items if you buy a Custom Item Token (Any Slot) , Item Upgrade Token (Body Slot) then a Item Upgrade Token (T2->T3) it only costs 30 kreds total where as when you buy either a Custom Item Token (Body Slot) and a Item Upgrade Token (T2->T3) or T3 Custom Item Token (Body Slot) it costs 40 kreds total.

i emailed the hosts and in their reply email they called me "bazooka". i think you need hosts with a better grip on reality.
They all seem to have a tenuous grasp on reality, though this one does seem exceptionally interesting in that department. They still insist to this day that changing the amount of RAM on the server fixed everything (despite the fact that the problems continued happening immediately afterwards until they fixed something completely different on THEIR server. I provide them proof of this by their company's own admission and they still claim the RAM fixed everything.)
The server has never crashed. Here's a log file: http://imgur.com/beCX2BF,mL1SSKm#0 . As you can see, the server did not crash. It just shut off. Normally the random Facebook graph timeouts aen't there, but as you can see from the second image: they're just intermittent http request timeouts, and they don't affect the server (you'd see some error message about kernel panic or something in the log if it was causing a crash. The complete lack of such messages means the server did not crash and was shut down manually. Not to mention the hosting company admits there's no explanation.). And as a side note: why in the world are you telling me the server has been shut down in the comments? It's a completely useless action. Use that time to go after Alfred Haddad and Matt Perault, gather information on them, and give it to me. That's how you fix things.

"wouldent you like a brand new ferrari? sure so would i, but most of cant afford one. in a simaller vien, we cant afford to (or not to, of you play "claim fiscal infeasability for the bill) pass this bill." thats why i go with a shevee corvette.
So your evidence that the game is "broken" is a single bill row that looks completely fine? Good to know the game still never breaks, because I'm that good of a programmer.

It'd be cool if CC could become the default, because currently it's really easy to accidentally screw over a bill and I've had it happen before.

Hey, if I could offer a suggestion, is it possible that conference committee could become the default committee on the list, rather than the oversight committee?
