Under rating threshold (show) Perhaps a private investigator could be hired to look into the whole stalker issue. Either that or offer a bunch kreds or whatever to anyone who can do some successful amateur investigating on the matter and is able to dig up some concrete info on who is exactly doing what and why. There's got to be more to it than just that info posted in global.... If you pull the thread.... the sweater will begin to unravel......

I have various federal entities looking into things already. Though, sure, anyone who wants to dig up information on this and give it to me can get cosmetic item rewards. Why not.

Developer response from delosford

A few people pay/blackmail/etc a lot of other people into messing with my life, including the game. Most of their attempts to mess with the game have slanderous undertones, as they try to make it appear the game has bugs that do not exist.

Stress can get down to -20%. It's kind of like a rest bonus for less active players.

Stalkers actually just shut off cron for about 9 hours this time. Frankly I have no idea what they're even trying to convince people of at this point. The server gets shut off randomly at the VM level, which has nothing to do with the game, they stop cron, which I didn't write, and sometimes they shut off the server right after I use ssh... which I also didn't write. So there's three problems occurring due to them currently and I don't even know what they're trying to sell as a lie at this point because they stopped making sense a while ago. I just ran the appropriate scripts, so the game state isn't even affected.

Considering it's a game about politics, it's probably the former.

Congressional security isn't really that effective. It's a good idea to have that anyway.

Under rating threshold (show) Is the entire line of presidential succession coded into the game? As in, if one were to successfully kill off the President and Vice President, would the speaker of the house then gain presidency, as would be the case in real life? If so, has this ever been successfully done before?

Yes, and no it hasn't been actually done before, though people have leveraged it in various ways.

misko27

Sep. 07, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) That's not very realistic though for the US. Do you know how many riots have killed congressman? One. You might as well include a random chance to be killed by terrorists, given far more (although still very few) have been shot or killed by either foreign or domestic terrorists.

Schnickel

Sep. 07, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) By the way, seeing as public happiness is all of 2.79%, is there a mechanic in the game in which a popular uprising topples the government, i.e. revolution? If not, should there be?

+ - !

(-1)

Developer response from delosford

There is not. For each red stat past the first, every member of Congress loses CSP on a weekly basis. So if the country is going to shit, people get angry and much more likely to unelect everyone.

Schnickel

Sep. 07, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) Raise the debt I suppose... but it's the speaker of the house, Brannigans Law himself who is calling for the increase of salaries, simply because he wants "maximum damage" as he put it. At least your game isn't boring Delosford. It's not real life, we can afford to have shit hit the fan, unlike actual congress, which tends to spread faeces regardless...

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

Your computer is fucked up, it's running a different version of the browser, etc. The game is rendered in HTML, so if your browser renders it wrong, there isn't much I can do. Contact support for their company, because the fault lies with them. HTML is a standard which apparently whatever you're using isn't conforming to.

(1)

Developer response from delosford

People affiliated with the church of scientology who interfere with everything in my life. They make sad attacks on the game in an attempt to get people to believe that the problems are caused by the game's code (when they literally can't be, considering the only errors they seem able to cause are networking/VM server related).

Sep. 06, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) Great game! I'm really enjoying it so far! I have a question though. With regards to Custom Item Tokens, how exactly are the stats decided? Is it based on an existing item (and if so, can we choose which)? Is it based on what the player prefers (i.e. via some kind of balanced point buy system)? Or is it decided by Q based on what he thinks fits the name best?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

You can state a preference, but the actual total stats are based on other items of the same tier (all top quality items from a given tier have the same total stat count, except in some cases where they might be short 1 due to stacking a certain stat). If you state no preference, I just decide based on the name.

Developer response from delosford

Nope; stalkers shut off the server again. The server has never once crashed in the entire history of the game, which is why the stalkers mess with it. They're jealous of how stable and bug-free the game is, because they couldn't ever in a million years write software as rock-solidly as I do.
