Is it intended for Oversight Committee to no longer stop poison pills? If not, could you please remove the PP from my Increase Organic Farming Subsidies bill?
Just stalker shit again. Looks like they paid off someone at the hosting company. DB process was shut down this morning, and there's no way that can just randomly happen.

Wow, the creator seems pretty mental, it's a shame though, this is such a good game (excluding the restriction of 20 moves every 800 minutes)

What? I've supported you through all this :P Two times you've accused an ally of being a stalker and now threatened banning me... I mean, it's your game, but I really do not think that banning an ally is a good idea :P

For those of you curious how poisoning through oversight works, you find a bill with oversight on it, right-click on the page, select 'Inspect Element', then click the magnifying glass on the top left corner. Click the disabled 'Append Poison Pill' button: this should highlight the line of code that pertains to the button. Edit that line to remove 'disabled'; this should re-enable the button. Proceed to click 'Append Poison Pill'. Congratulations, you've just rediscovered a long-existing security hole, courtesy of Chrome Console, shoddy code, and 'I can't believe it's not stalkers!' Oh, and since Q has decided that this isn't a bug...people can't even yell at you for 'exploiting'.
This doesn't work. There's a back-end check for oversight that will give you a hack message if you try that. You're working with the stalkers, and they paid off someone at the hosting company. Though I have to assume a fair number of people have already tried your "hack" just to see it doesn't work and thus you're being downvoted.

Welp, since it's what all the cool kids are doing nowadays, I'll put my two cents in. I don't know if the stalkers are real, and I don't care. I haven't been impacted by inquisitorial efforts, I have enough trouble dealing with other players that developed unexplained hate-boners for me. So I don't bother questioning the status of Q's story, or of those who attempt to question it.
Furthermore, IF Q is off his rocker, what makes you people think that provoking him is going to help anything? Just let him live in his delusions, and stop waging campaigns for events that happened months ago (from what I can tell.)

Q, a bit of advice? Maybe if you didn't treat everyone who disagreed with your behavior like a dick, people wouldn't disagree with your behavior

Yeah, my IRL friend parabola was performing mass-larcenies on dozens of characters and Q happened to be one of them, he cashed big on Q and then got punished for "larcenying Q when he had exploited cash", despite not knowing about the larceny bug at all (his larceny character later died so don't bother investigating)

I can confirm that I am not a "Stalker" I have no reason to do so. So why is it that the fan base is being accused of being these so called "stalkers" if you really wanted to stop them then wouldn't it make more sense to try and get the fan base on your side. I will continue to play Clout. I suck at it but I will continue. If you ban me for what I say then at least look into me and try and find some shred of evidence. I am on your side whether or not these people actually exist because you have made a remarkable game with a wonderful idea.

Ignorance. Look at me posting my opinion as if it were worth something, who the hell do I think I am, pathetic, same goes for anyone who voices their narcissistic opinion just to be give themselves some self-dignity. Hi delosford not sure how your going to reply to these comments, sorry :P.

Hmmm... one more thing, Furoa and others seem to be complaining endlessly on a game they can just quit. To them: Please stop being a dumbass and get a life. Whether delosford is honest or not, it shouldn't concern you UNLESS you have no life and find pleasure in being a pest or you are one of those coward stalkers( you guys think I'm brainwashed or stupid but hell I'm standing my ground because I lose nothing either way) also why are you letting this game consume you Delosford? Your time means nothing to me but I can't understand why your putting so much effort into a game that's being harassed, If this your personal challenge by all means continue because otherwise its simply...why?

DontHurtMeLifetime Clout: 118543Lost Election (Retired)------Hey delosford, just wondering something, I was absent from the game for a while and when I came back apparently I lost an election and had to retire. Is that something that can happen automatically or stalkers or was I banned(I'm not sure I mind anymore since your situation, so its cool) Well thanks for the game while I was playing it. I'll admit my comment feels half-assed but don't know why :P. I'll leave with this: I do believe your situation as there is no reason not to as I can't disprove of it which is only a logical approach to any situation and one that more people need to share. (p.s: On a more serious note something about poisoned walnuts, I am honestly curious about them,my personal problem, is there a forum so you don't have to restate everything to this idiot,me.) long comment because I guess I'm quitting.

ITT: A guy accuses long time kong users (4-6 years) of hacking his game because they're a part of a large organisation recently plaguing his game
Hacking my game? No, they tried to DOS it and I have proof. Hilariously, they didn't even understand the difference between a DOS and DDOS attack. The people who were actually hacking the game were not those people, but those people were certainly in the know about it by being connected to the criminal organization doing the hacking.

What I don't understand is how you can have poison pill work through oversight, but not conference committees or research committees. I mean, those other ones do check for the oversight state, why not poison pill? And how is it fair to allow poison pills to be placed on binaries when you can't CC them to remove the poison? And am I going to have to get this person to poison every single oversighted bill just to prove a point to you through the playerbase?

Well... it was a little bit of an exaggeration. I'll admit it's not 97% gone. More like... 83%? No, 54%.
Still enjoy this game though. Despite my character's random death.

PS plz don't ban/mute me
The wiki isn't official and anyone can edit it. You're reading a work of fiction. A fairly hilarious one really that paints a bunch of people trying to hack the game as heroes. It kind of reminds me of NK propaganda.

Here's another: $bill=103057. I see you editing those so they don't have poison pills anymore, btw. You can also apply multiple poison pills to bills.
riiight, it's another but it's not there. But yeah, I did go back and remove two poison pills from old bills. I guess that's not quite as good for your story, though.

Actually delos, don't call me a stalker for this comment, but I have noticed a severe drop in the population of the kong chatroom for this game. Where once there were easily 50 in the chat, the number never raises past 20. Take that for what you will
You do realize that Kongregate was running a massive advertising campaign that brought over 10k people in about a week, right? You were seeing a massive flood of random Kongregate newbies, most of which never had any chance of sticking around. Which I've explained before.

Hey. Hey Q. $bill=103014 Poisoned through oversight via chrome console; check the ability plays, oversight happened first. I thought you said that wasn't a bug Q? I thought you said that was fixed with RSA authorization?
Oh, you mean an old bill from before I changed to RSA auth? Yeah, changing the validation doesn't go back and magically fix old bills. Good job concocting a lie, though. It seems all you're really capable of.

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?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
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...
