Under rating threshold (show) You know, being in the green party makes you think a lot about which bills can affect the country positively, but the idea of passing "bad" bills to sink the country is starting to sound so inviting to me.

Well, you can pretty much do whatever you want. Welcome to Freedomland.

Under rating threshold (show) Any chance of a new bill filter option, "not played by ct1"

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

Never thought of incorporating CT into the filters, but it's very doable. Thanks for the suggestion!

Under rating threshold (show) we have a big debt, bad health, 75% taxes and bad defences (even mozambique can conquer us) but people is happy. I wonder what could make them sad.

+ - !

(6)

Developer response from delosford

Turns out you can spend a lot of money and make people happy even if things aren't generally going great. Of course the problem is that it all unravels after a while, much like the Soviet Union.

Under rating threshold (show) So, now we have achieved huge debt and health problems.

True. It's recoverable, but people don't really seem to know what to do if they can't just spam pdnd.

Under rating threshold (show) This game's kong chat sometimes becomes the bloody game congress too from what I see. The only difference from the game itself though is the fact that everyone has infinite energy, there are no clout tiers, and everyone can use Wildcard, and Wildcard only.

Developer response from delosford

Maybe I should turn the old server into Bizarro Clout that runs like that.

Under rating threshold (show) At this point Congress is basically a jobs program. Talk about too many chefs in the kitchen. Basically, imagine thousands of Gordon Ramsays who don't actually know how to cook, so they just swear at each other and start grease fires. :D

+ - !

(5)

Developer response from delosford

I've always thought it interesting that our RL Congress isn't large enough to even theoretically be a representative sample of the population in a best-case scenario.

Under rating threshold (show) how much do i have to wait when i fall in coma until recovery?

+ - !

(-2)

Developer response from delosford

Depends on if you're in a coma or passed out. The former depends on health, the latter on energy.

Developer response from delosford

Well, I'm not surprised to hear that you're a fan of powergaming, all things considered. But I'm not. So it's staying like this. It's also never been literally impossible to get a relic no matter how many you have, but it becomes nearly impossible after 3.

Developer response from delosford

The code that detects opposition to binaries was mainly put in to stop people from farming. Which isn't really what's occurring. I'd also guess about 95% of those relics are going to be back in the pool within a month after being handed out to a random noob who stopped playing.

Apparently people want the game to have ads and micropurchases instead of costing $5. Frankly I feel the latter is much better for everyone.

No. It'll be $5 and will not contain a micropurchase system.

Under rating threshold (show) ...Stupid mistake, went to increase defense spending, Drop my keyboard(I have it in my lap) and went with decrease education funding. This is against my ideas, for we need well educate scientists to make the super weapons we need to conquer the world. Also I'm low on clout now.* The mistakes show just how upset I was.

Under rating threshold (show) I totally would like to jump on the bandwagon that's pushing for "coffee." Cigars and alcohol lower your stress for very little cost, I think there should be an option that increases energy and increases stress (very little amounts) and is a minor scandal. It would be a nifty little addition to the scandal wardrobe. :)

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

It's probably not going to happen to be honest. Trying to balance it and make it seems realistic is pretty much impossible.

Under rating threshold (show) Expensive illegal Coffee from Columbia -Minor Scandal -Gives Energy -Not in the Black Market -Did i mention it was expensive?

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

Heh, well, this is definitely the most creative solution I've heard for that one. But then I'm pretty sure people would just ask why they couldn't buy normal coffee. Then again I suppose they don't ask too many questions about the cigars.

Under rating threshold (show) 1. a lovely game, i love the premise, the interaction the PVP. 2. i think all the little sayings from the abilities are HILARIOUS. i used half hearted punditry not for its effectiveness, but to see what my character would say, finally. THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING TO COMMENTS. i always like to see a developer cares

Developer response from delosford

I think it's because by writing a nonsensical review and reporting a nonexistent bug, you kind of outed yourself as an ally of the people who mess with the game. The people who play the game are understandably not big fans of people who try to break connectivity to the game and slander it.

Under rating threshold (show) Any chance of a cup of coffee or caffeine pills that function the same as beer/cigars? They don't give much boost but their scandal is minor.

+ - !

(6)

Developer response from delosford

Why would it be scandalous? Anything non-scandalous that gave energy would ruin the game.

Developer response from delosford

You do realize that your character has no gender as far as the game cares, right? Did you miss the lack of male pronouns? The general lack of references to gender? The store having women's clothing? Or were you under the impression that I was disallowing women, but 100% ok with transvestites? We're getting all Shakespearean up in this bitch.

Under rating threshold (show) So are the devs also players, or is it like the real US government where the people who manage it aren't necessarily a part of it? *gasp* The players are merely a puppet government controlled by a secret society!

Probably related to us invading them and installing a puppet dictator a while back.

Under rating threshold (show) "What if we played for more than one country? We could also coordinate international laws and send representants to UN, OMS, G8, etc." What I intended to write is that we could choose countries at the beginning of the game and make more than one goverment istead of competing with just numbers from the world list.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

The problem with that is that it would require writing infinite different games (not all legislatures work the same) and it would completely fracture the playerbase.

Under rating threshold (show) Delospford a bill can give diseases if it is a (secret win bill) "Release the bio weapon" .

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

That would be a bio weapon giving the diseases. But really I have no idea how people get confused about this. Decreasing spending on health-related industries doesn't somehow immediately give everyone in the country smallpox.

ZZZSonic

Aug. 07, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) I just realized after I made my comment, you can also not give them any clout for the bill winning/losing if they switch sides, since that sounds exploitable to get more clout

+ - !

(-2)

Developer response from delosford

So why would they bother switching to play on things at all? There are a variety of problems with allowing this.

ZZZSonic

Aug. 07, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) I think you should be able to change sides on a bill at the cost of some constituent support, it's very embarrassing to wonder why playing the "think of the children" card for a banning of GMOs is a gaffe, and then realize I opposed it accidentally *hand-to-face-action*
