Ok game was confusing at first so I decided to reset my character.....now everytime I create my character it says hacking is bad.....wtf
I would guess there's some unnoticeable difference in the character encoding, since duplicate entries are forbidden by the code. But I'll change it anyhow, since I don't want duplicate entries even if they're technically different in the encoding. edit: appears it was just DB tampering. stalkers made a completely duplicate entry manually, including the timestamp.

Sure until you want to start a big popular character, and pick Skeletons in your closet then it becomes only a matter of time.

"You've suddenly begun getting all kinds of reports that some of your recent financial transactions went sour, turned out to be scams, etc. This has cost you $25484 in operating expenses" either I've been buying stuff in my sleep or my drug dealer doesn't use cash...

I suggest making salaries into a red stat if it is too high, and to increase the csp loss for each red stat (beginning with 2 and each additional red one costs more csp) and to scale those losses with clout tier.
"too high" is arbitrary for something like that. Salaries sap happiness heavily, so if you do better at maintaining the nation: you can have higher salaries.

I suggest even with 0 energy, we can check shop, other bills, and more important our bills. Since there is no point doing 20x an abillity since we cant see if it passed or not...
I dont mean we can buy items ordo anything with the bills, just look to get the warm feeling how much 20x was, instead of doing 10x,5x 3x 1x and when we've checked do another 1x, since im not going to buy drugs...

Hi if you finish doing clout and it's tie in games maybe you could do a game like Blocs a geopolitics game http://bloc.name/bloc/main.php
Frankly I feel that nation sim games are pretty much just always a pale imitation of better nation sim games that came before them and were more realistic. The gameplay is generally poor and tired, and it's not really the kind of game I care to make. I prefer to make innovative games that will hopefully spur others on to create games that are not pale carbon copies of previous games, which is sadly what the gaming industry has turned into.

If I have to start a new character due to death or unelection, and I have some higher tier items in my safe, do I have to wait until my new guy reaches that tier to use them? I'm assuming that's the case, but I just want to make sure.
Drugs are already extensively balanced through the addiction, withdrawal, overdose and scandal systems. They do not need additional drawbacks. Many people play drug-free.

I have an idea... Every four drugs you use will decrease your energy regeneration by one point for the next day, and every drug you are addicted to decreases it by one until you become un-addicted. I know energy is pretty touchy (for good cause) but I thought it might be a good idea to balance between drug and non-drug users without actually changing the overall energy regen and ruining the game. Just a thought.

I get off my addiction to GABA agonists, and when i take one more i become addicted again. Clearly my rehab isn't working too well.

i just read your reaction to the comment by doomoo about seeing profiles without investigations. i think you should be able to see peoples profiles too, you are both members of congress so if you want you could just wait look around for someone without paying a detective to get all sorts of info on people. you would however only be able to see basic info like clothes he's wearing and attravtiveness.
You can look at people without investigations, so long as they're actually active. I think this approximates what you're talking about. You can always see that info. Any time you see a person's name in white in the bill actor list or introduced by heading on the bill list: you can click to look. So you effectively can wait around to try and get a look at someone. You just can't arbitrarily look at anyone.

Just put an oversight committee on my bill while at something like 2 energy and now I'm at -32 energy... And you said you can only have one research committee out at one time and it cost me like 1000 clout to play? I think you might have nerfed it a little too much... and by that I mean WAAAY too much. Also can you reverse it so that I didn't spend my clout on that ability? (I just bought it) and reverse me playing it on my bill? I'm at like -32 energy and -700 clout...
You can have 2 research committees active at one time. All committees cost clout to play, and the cost varies by the clout cost of the bill you play them on. No I will not reverse your actions. The alternative to letting you play once into the negative would have been to lock out your new ability.

Could you post somewhere the energy and clout cost of committee actions? Or are we supposed to find out the hard way?
i've posted them on the fb page and some other places before. It's not really supposed to be a secret. I'll probably add it to the help when I do The Great Help File Update.

why can i only do one public appearence offer per day? i easily have the energy to be in two, if not three places at one time.

Let's say someone talks in chat but didn't act in any bills and didn't make any bills.
BOOM, How to click them?
Also when you know the name of the person and can't seem to find it in the bills section because that person doesnt have bills of their own.
Why would you care about a player that does nothing, though? Aside from that, I may add links to people's names in the posts. Problem is that it breaks from the trend of linking uncolored names. So I'll have to think of some way around that.

New idea: when you reach CT4, you get a special item called "(Character Name)'s Walther PPK. It could give HK45 stats with an extra +1 intelligence. You know, because you /are/ Q.

woah, people actually managed to cut nasa's funding? looks like we might actually deal with the nations debt finally!

okay wait how can we get rid of nasa funding twice and child labor laws i mean there both already outlawed how can we double outlaw something?
Not outlawing; those are the opposite bills to try and reverse the bills that were just passed. Take careful note of the names (they vary by only one word, usually. Also a different party color).

For some reason, as a clout tier 1, I was able to nominate a speaker. Is this because I was a ct4 before this or is this a bug due to stalkers?

Assume you realize that a post has made in global by "yourself" but you know you never posted such a thing. Would it be a good idea to log out of kong and log back in and try to get a new session key so that whoever got it doesn't do anything else?

hmm, a guy is opposing my bill 20x , and i can't take any action against him ..."not allowed to ...newbie" not fair, one could use newbies to oppose bill,for no reason
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.
