Who said it was dying on facebook? You said i claimed the game was dying. It is, on kongregate, at least. Facebook? Maybe. I don't actually have a facebook, so who knows. And here we go, call all opposition "stalkers"! If i was a stalker, i would've done something significantly more drastic by now. Your previous claims say that they try to make themselves look like they care about morality. I don't. There's a phrase about assumptions.
So by "dying" you mean "perfectly fine"? Like I said: the game has more players than it ever did pre-recent-advertising. It's also the same game on both platforms, so it can't really be dying on one. You have noticed that there's like 2 or 3 people shitting up the comments, right? 2 or 3 people is a pretty small proportion of the playerbase.

If you're not doing so already, you should keep a register of the happenings with proof and make sure it's in a safe place, and then upload it so people can see the truth and shut up. If you have the spare time, of course.

What's giving me interest in this game again is the unlikely but at the same time seemingly real conspiracy against this dev... Did you do something that could have pissed some outcast people off? Because this is the only explanation i see for someone to mess with a web satire game with less than, say, 15000 active players.

You claimed I was in league with the stalkers. I am refuting that claim. That's all I've ever done. That is not denying they exist, bit thanks for grossly misinterpreting evverything I say. Back when I sent you that pm regarding the poisoning through oversight bill, the bug existed. It came back very recently as you have seen in the comments, so to deny that the bug exists is very typical of you. The average player honestly isn't going to care where the bug cane from, just that it gets fixed. Oh, and thanks for denying the negative bribe bug from the lobby too; at least you fixed that gross oversight.
I'm not sure you understand what "refuting" means. The "bug" never existed. I never fixed anything, and it stopped happening when I changed to RSA key auth, just like I said. I have no idea what you mean about it supposedly coming back recently, but I guess it's a good thing everybody can see you plainly lying.

You realize you're just like a politician, right? Whenever we point out your mistakes or flaws you immediately throw words around and attempt to confuse us.
The rate of energy regeneration is balanced against many factors in the game, making it faster would seriously change gameplay, and in general it's pretty much where I want it anyway.

No. I'm basing it on the low amount of kongregate players. At most, you have around 20 people in the chatrooms at a time. You alienated Kongregate. Congrats. In addition to that, you managed to start a freaking civil war over this game. I'd recommend cutting your losses now by ceasing irrelevant discussion regarding the stalkers. Even if you're telling the truth, it's brought no good by discussing it here.
Well, it's certainly encouraging that the only way you can try to pretend the game is dying is by the count of players in Kongregate chat. Which means next to nothing, especially on a multi-platform game. Which I explained before and you conveniently ignored. Just like I said: common stalker tactic. Just keep repeating the same questions and acting like I didn't already answer them 10 times. The game still has more players than it ever had before the last advertising push, and the game ran just fine on less than 200 weekly actives for years. It also usually has more people in Kong chat than it ever did before. Oh, you mean it has less than when we were getting a flood of new players? Well uh, yeah, obviously?

My name is Delos Ford, and I demand that people believe me, ignore and deflect all requests for existing evidence, and ban people when they act based on the information they're given. I will then mock them, slander them, call them stalkers, and throw them under the bus. I am always right, because I am the greatest game developer in the world; my code has the structural integrity of a nuclear fallout shelter. I am also the most charismatic, intelligent, humble, and logical person on the planet. Everyone thinks so, and they all support my every move. Don't you? DON'T YOU??????
Check the comment from "coolguy" above this to see the same tactic furoa is using: pretending his questions haven't been answered and ignoring everything I bring up.

When did I say your game was 'full' of bugs? I said that it contained bugs that you deny and blame on stalkers, those are not one and the same. And thanks for failing to address the question yet again: Have you, or have you not, prevented poisoning an oversighted pill? That was commented, pm'd to you, and repeatedly pointed out, and your response was (and I quote) 'nope'. So, no, I don't think PMs are going to help.
so name one. And yes, oversight committee stops poison pill as it always did. Interestingly enough, that "bug" hasn't been occurring since I started using RSA-key-only authentication for the server instead of a password. The funniest part is that you're still trying to pretend the stalkers don't exist.

This MAY come as a surprise to you, but just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean that they are a stalker. None of us even messed with the game, and you tried to frame kiran. If anyone did anything wrong, it's you.
Tried to frame kiran? Some of the shit you make up is hilarious. Projecting, as usual. I also think it's hilarious that you're trying to convince people that you disagreeing with me had anything to do with anything. Anybody who's ever looked at global is well aware that people disagree with and even insult me all the time without getting banned. But I won't put up with people slandering me in my own fucking game, much less after trying to damage it. What else would you expect?

Sorry, delos, i don't have a barrel to roll in. But, seriously, consider the implications of an organization that can pay off an entire police force, have thieves break in to your home, etc. being after you. Clearly, they could kill you if they had a thought to do so. Why aren't you running? This entire argument has been about that.

'Name one bug in the game currently?' How do you propose I bugtest your game when you've banned me unjustly, Delos? But did you put in a check for the oversight state so bills can't be poisoned yet? That was a thing long before that popped up again recently.I know you're probably just going to slander me by claiming that I have 'stalker buddies' and that they're 'not telling because there are none', or that they told me about the PP exploits.

Oh, and Delos, that log of the 'collusion to DoS' occurred -after- the banning. Seems a bit more like retaliation to me. Said attempt likely wouldn't have happened otherwise.

'most people on Kong don't have chat open, right?' You might be right for other games, but the game generally opens the chat on start assuming you're accessing from kongregate. I've seen as low as 4, two of whom were unfairly banned at the time. Of couse you could argue everyone is playing off their session keys, but that seems rather unlikely.
No... what opens when you load games on Kong depends on what tab you were on when you last closed a game. If you click the other tabs, then load a new game: chat will not load.

'DEVELOPER RESPONSE FROM DELOSFORD
Buried in the comment history; just like you want them to be. Hence the repeated comments.' So why not collect them all somewhere where they can't be buried? Speaking of which, Joshua_Lee said something about a video proving your house was bugged by the stalkers, but that he lost the link?
Says the guy who just posted 4 comments. There's also not much point in me "proving" something that everyone already agrees with. Nobody is protesting your bans...

"You know what I miss? When all the people commenting on the game actually played the game."

Still loving this game, having an absolute blast playing it. I do especially enjoy how the constituent support forces me to try to balance my party and country needs against my desire to stay in power, which has increased a fair bit since I hit CT4.

(Forgot to mention this:If Q does have a mental disorder, that doesn't matter, because by all means, i have a disorder or two as well. Puts us on equal footing in that regard.)
I just got finished building an enterprise-class multithreaded social network data processor that communicates with a distributed cluster database for storage in such a way to be used as part of a cross-product data analytics platform as well as a digital marketing platform. This was for the job at which I am very gainfully employed. You can't do that sort of thing if you have the kind of mental disorder you're claiming I have.

You may have misclicked and hit Diacetylmorphine instead, Techdragon. The buttons are right beside each other, and Diacetylmorphine matches your energy/stress loss description.

Also, coolguy6778, you're a dick. It doesn't matter if stalkers are real, they are important to Q. Either you're tormenting someone with a mental disease, or supporting a murderous group. Either way- dick.

coolguy is right. We never did anything to your game, except not believe in some imaginary stalkers, most likely some childhood bully that you use as a scapegoat for everything because you can't grow up.
If these stalkers are really as powerful as you say, why would they being doing small stuff like messing with your server?
So you're just pretending like the majority of those banned didn't get caught red-handed colluding to hack and damage the game? I thought it was pretty funny that one of those talking with you confirmed the authenticity by trying to deny significant involvement. I might have not even believed it otherwise.

Forgot to mention:Q, look at the players active on clout at a time. TWELVE. Down from at least 20 in the days before you brought up all this irrelevant stalker bullcrap. Why can't you just own up to the fact that you screwed up? Is it because of your ego? Is it because of some medical disorder? We just want to know WHY. If this was a publicity stunt, it's had the opposite effect. Just stop bringing it up. The stalkers, even if they did exist, are irrelevant, and so is your claiming of their existence.
12? Where are you even coming up with this number? Kong chat? You do realize the game is on two platforms and most people on Kong don't have chat open, right? What are you even claiming I screwed up?

I stopped that line of question because it seems that your pride wouldn't
let you answer those questions. Either that, or you didn't want to.
If i had a guess, i'd say that you didn't want to answer because
you don't know exactly what you're doing when it comes to the law.
Your slander claims wouldn't hold up in court. You've been telling us
over and over that "We're doing nothing to you", which is the exact opposite
of slander. Do you really expect the courts to believe anything about stalkers? A group with infinite resources after you, wasting it's time with cheap parlor tricks that any 20-year-old can do? Filling up planes with PLANTS? Seriously? It is relevant, by the way. I asked you when i started this conversation, "Why haven't you gone into hiding yet?"
That question still stands. Answer me that, will you? No dodging the question due to your own petty ego.
Sorry to say, but i agree with Kaire's diagnosis of paranoid personality disorder.

You know what I miss? The days when you were nice to the playerbase, when you fixed bugs instead of denying their existence (or blaming them on stalkers), and when you didn't ban people on a whim. Those were good days when the game stayed in the game, and didn't spill over into real life plots and conspiracies. Can we go back theere?
Name one bug that exists in the game currently. I also like how you conveniently ignore the admitted involvement of many of those banned in trying to DOS the game (which you all humorously called a DDOS).

Answering questions in the PMs is all well and good, but would you rather repeat your answer to a dozen different people, or just have it out in a place that's accessible so you're not getting constantly asked the same thing?
You know what I miss? When all the people commenting on the game actually played the game. I also have posted the answers for everyone to see repeatedly, which is why nobody gives a shit anymore.
I answer questions here, too. Then the stalkers claim my answers aren't good enough and go on ridiculous tirades that I demonstrate to be ridiculous, followed by them quickly changing the subject. Just read back, you can see the pattern really clearly.

Actually, Schrödinger's stalkers are both stalking and not stalking simultaneously. Would be more reasonable I guess.

What is slanderous about asking questions? I simply ask about the wisdom about not hiding from individuals who clearly have the power and the resources to kill you. You don't even have enough evidence to win a slander case in the US courts. Stop dodging the questions, will you? It's only getting old.
That has literally nothing to do with what you were just talking about. Did I crush your stupid line of non-questions a little too effectively, forcing you to change the subject?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Actually, Delos, you'd probably stand to gain a lot more sympathy and trust if you gave legitimate answers to the questions, instead of dodging, ignoring, and replying with slanderous accusations of your own. It's almost as if you're trying to hide something by your consistent failure to respond to requests for information, and honestly that does a lot more to discredit you than the questions themselves.
Why would I need to gain sympathy or trust? You seem really confused. Probably because you've been banned for a while and don't actually realize that nobody who still plays ever gave a shit about your banning... and they certainly don't now. Do you think there's some kind of raging mutiny going on? Because I'm pretty sure everyone who's not banned already forgot about it.
That would be great advice if there were people here actually looking for answers. But generally speaking it's just people trying to slander/discredit me in public, so that wouldn't really serve their purposes.

Who said you had to explain the entirety of it? You said i'm not taking into account various factors. Simplify them. It shouldn't be that hard.
You know what else isn't that hard? Looking up information about the aforementioned topics on the internet. I'm not exactly sure why you think posting slanderous comments on my game entitles you to free tutoring on a variety of topics.

Should it be possible to poison binary bills? You can't really do any other special actions on them, so it feels unbalanced...
It's only possible when they're in the initial committee phase. This is to encourage cooperation on starting them instead of just tossing them out there and hoping people push them along.
No... I'm really not interested in explaining the entirety of the US criminal justice system to you in Kongregate comments. I'm pretty sure there are better resources available for that.

It's not fraudulently downrating a game if the developer goes postal and bans anyone that doesn't believe his story. And I am a doctor. I didn't say "you definitely have schizophrenia". It's just less convoluted than the alternative of "you make up lies to explain errors in programming".
No actual doctor would be trying to diagnose something like that across the internet. You'd also be well aware of the fact that my obvious skill at writing precludes pretty much every major mental disorder, and definitely rules schizophrenia out. Do you have like... a doctorate in Russian literature and just like telling people you're a doctor?
