Under rating threshold (show) @valkros, per cent means per hundred, 100 take away 90=>0, therefore your bill is not guaranteed to pass. more specifically 100 take away 90=10, therefore your bill has a 10% chance of failing

Developer response from delosford

this is also correct

Under rating threshold (show) Why my binary has not passed at 90 per cent

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

Binary Bills have a time limit, and a roll is made against their pass chance to determine if they pass at the end of that time limit.

Under rating threshold (show) We should be able to click names in the Devil's Inn. After all, it represents an interaction with that person.

Under rating threshold (show) I'd say it's not us with suspended accounts, it's delosford for not paying the server fees. But that's just my guess.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

No, it was my hosting provider's fault for not rebilling my credit card automatically like I have it set, or not notifying me if there was an error... Oh, right, and apparently they haven't heard of PHONES.

Under rating threshold (show) This Account Has Been Suspended , why ? Have I done anything wrong ?

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

This was a server hosting error, not related to the game at all.

Developer response from delosford

I'm not running Gmail. Deleted messages are deleted, so get to deleting. Eventually I'll offer a paid option that involves an unlimited inbox size, so if you really want it, you will eventually be able to get it. I can't have people clogging the DB with tons of email traffic unless they're willing to pay for server space, basically.

Under rating threshold (show) 06/09/13 07:59 -- You have gained 0 Clout for acting as a proponent of a Decrease Family-Related Tax Breaks bill that passed! Why did I gain 0 Clout? I am of the Green Party, and had my filter on for Green Bills only...

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

It's possible you acted on the bill with an ability that isn't eligible for gaining clout, such as PP, a committee, filibuster, etc. Additionally, you will gain nothing if your only ability plays are gaffes

Under rating threshold (show) WHen you find out a scandal, can the person who you investigated still cover it up so you cant release to the press?

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

Yes. Say your discovery requires something like... personal testimony, or some documents or what have you. A coverup will destroy those things in one way or another, and your evidence will be too thin to be useful. This is why you can cover up discovered scandals. I also feel it encourages more even release of scandals than saving them up to dump on someone... which is not something I really wanted to encourage. There are other systems in place against that strategy as well.

Under rating threshold (show) 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.

+ - !

(-1)

Developer response from delosford

"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.

Under rating threshold (show) delosford,I tried clicking cronies and associations and promote my friend,his came up:Fatal error: Call to undefined function logtochar() in /home/cabinca/public_html/clout/promote.php on line 25. I can't do anything else without clothes on (like bills) and buying stuff gives me the character auth problem.I wonder what is wrong...

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

I would guess there is some kind of issue with your kong account or ISP. Make sure you're not using a proxy or anything like that.

Under rating threshold (show) Sorry about the earlier double post. I knew I wanted to ask the question, and forgot I already had. I couldn't find a way to delete the second post. Sorry.

Developer response from delosford

I don't know how to do it, but there is some way to do it. I think LD3H figured it out, but I can't recall who it was for sure.

ZaogaRapid

Jun. 06, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) Uh,delosford,I reloaded the game like you told me to (to fix the character auth failure) but when I tried equipping things to wear it popped up again.I do not know if it is Kongregate's server or my computer,but everything works fine on my comp except this problem.Please help!

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

It really ONLY happens when you equip stuff? Just click around the game a while doing various other things and see if it happens. If it's only happening in one case it might actually be some kind of bug.

Under rating threshold (show) @ dak, i think 1 hr after the last one ends, or if you CC'd the bill you need 2 other people to CC till you can do so again. are judicial VIP's affected by congressional security?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

You are correct that CC has the additional stipulation that you can't be one of the last 2 people to play CC on the same bill.

Under rating threshold (show) It turns out it is the energy, stress was 69%.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

That stress level will also stop you from introducing bills, generally speaking.

Noly

Jun. 06, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) Maybe you need more energy(10) or less stress(50)? But you have a point, this message is far from being a good one in that situation.

Under rating threshold (show) Umm...I keep trying to start a bill and it says, "Hacking the game is bad, mmkay?" And I'm not even hacking. It costs 750 Clout, and it should give me around $2000 then $4350. Please help.

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

So you're trying to take a campaign contribution when you couldn't normally introduce a bill? Yeah, there's no front-end validation for that, so you get a hacking message if you try because the server is not psychic.

JakeInTheBox

Jun. 06, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) So what happens when we win against someone we've gone to war with?

+ - !

(5)

Developer response from delosford

We impose a new government, they get some of our national defense, and the country stats get rerolled to some extent. Winning wars is not actually a goal of the game in any meaningful way.

Under rating threshold (show) what are GABA agonists?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

They are compounds which act as neurotransmitter analogues for Gamma Aminobutryic Acid. (Wikipedia GABA Agonist if you really want to know more; they're a real thing)

Under rating threshold (show) @ zao, dont worry, theres an easy fix, reload the game

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

This usually fixes it, but also make sure that no ip spoofing/proxy type things are going on. It can interfere with some of the cheat prevention mechanisms and make the game refuse requests from you.

ZaogaRapid

Jun. 06, 2013

Under rating threshold (show) Help! I equipped some things for my character to wear and this came up: character authentication failure. Please reload the game.

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

This usually has something to do with kongregate auth or your isp doing something for a minute. Just reload the game and everything will get synced up again (unless kong is having persistent issues with auth of course)

Under rating threshold (show) 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...

You can have more than 100 energy.

Under rating threshold (show) tribal, the minimum deposit is 125000. There's a 10% deposit fee so if you deposited less than 125000 you'd lose less.

i'm pretty sure the front-end validation is just set wrong for that.

Under rating threshold (show) You Know you Really need to put an option in the game for those who get injured.I logged in recently after being in the hospital in the game and I was out when I logged back on. Put a tab that asks me if i want to stay a little longer and get more of a health recovery please.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

um... that already does exist, actually. I made it so you have to leave the hospital manually sometime last month. You probably just weren't actually hospitalized.

Under rating threshold (show) I am surprised the people have 100% happiness, they aren´t worried about frequent assassination attempts, and they aren´t worried about countless congresspersons being robbed, I guess....

Nobody really likes congress anyway, so it's not too surprising.

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

People really need to stop getting upset by this message. The server is not a magical android that actually knows what you're trying to do. It only knows if it gets a value that isn't valid.

Under rating threshold (show) Assuming we lose defense while at war with other countries, and seeing as cuba's defense was boosted, will the US also be refunded some defense?

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

nah. I think we can manage to kill another couple hundred cubans without much trouble. You can always increase defense spending.

Under rating threshold (show) I would suggest that SCOTUS cases appear on the second page of the Examiner. Maybe it's just me, but they seem kinda routine, and I gotta hunt more to learn if deaths haz happened.

Assassinations are fairly routine, too... it's more about importance of the story to gameplay.
