Yourself? You have to be CT4. If you mean others, you can only nominate 3 people/month.

Under rating threshold (show) oh wow i didn't know that... but since majority of ex-commies were third world nations... even china and soviet banned them? but a-okay then, i'll just act like a liberal commie that support a state monopoly on weeds and porns. :v

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

Soviet Russia is actually the model I use for a lot of the socialist party platform in-game. It's a sort of tongue-in-cheek implication in the game that socialists are secret communist infiltrators. And yes, they banned pornography, drugs AND religion in Soviet Russia. That's pretty common for highly authoritarian states on either the left or right. Usually the right bans them with appeals to morality and the left does so with appeals to the greater good (ie drugs and porn are a waste of time that you could be using to help your fellows instead).

Under rating threshold (show) @delos, couldnt you have a scandal released of yourself and then have people miss a similar slander and only read the correction, therefore making them think that the first scandal didnt actually happen?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

um... no? I think, anyway. Not really sure what you're suggesting.

Under rating threshold (show) So, in July can i play again, if i run for re-election? Because I got unelected, I want to continue to play without making a new character.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

Running for re-election requires me finishing Campaign Trail, which I haven't even started. It's planned for after the lobby. For now permadeath from election loss is permanent unless you want to go to The Lobby, where you will probably later be able to switch to Campaign Trail from The Lobby.

Under rating threshold (show) @magistro, to my knowledge the slander is always found, and gives a weaker hit to CSP than a real scandal

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

this is correct

Under rating threshold (show) I guess Socialist party here is closer to a Christian Socialist ideologies since they're against porn and drugs. Not a big problem actually, but i was hoping to see a Secular Socialist Party that have a liberal stance on morality(and stuffs that have no direct relations to power), but authoritarian on political stuffs(CCTV, patriot act, media censorship, forced conscription etc).

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

The vast majority of communist states in history have banned those things while also mandating atheism. The socialist party represents a left/authoritarian party, while the liberal party represents a left/libertarian party.

Under rating threshold (show) If your CSP gets hit from slander, but the "scandal" is actually found to be slander, does the CSP hit get removed?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

Slander does a proportion of the real scandal's damage depending on the roll. Even though it isn't true, it's still damaging because not everyone who heard it will hear the correction. It's a common occurrence in politics.

Under rating threshold (show) Wrong, Daddysback, the legality of prostitution is a state's rights issue. So far, though, only one state has legalised it, and even then, only in counties under a certain population. Seeing as people generally look down upon sex workers and the people that hire them, though, it likely doesn't matter to the public if you were to visit a legal pro.

We displaced the leader of the countries with leadership friendly to us. The nation's stats were affected, and they got some of our national defense.

Under rating threshold (show) isn't there a footer html tag or something you can do to that Like Clout on Facebook banner at the bottom?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

Try using Chrome. This is a browser rendering issue. Also, if you don't have the font "Impact": get it. The footer is already at the bottom of the page. Some browsers do not interpret fonts and certain sizings correctly.

Under rating threshold (show) Hey Delos I was just wondering if there was a timeframe for when The Lobby will leave Beta and come out fully?

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

The Lobby probably isn't even in a state I'd call Beta at this point (the Kongregate header is generic; I don't write it). The timetable for The Lobby depends a lot on how busy things are at work. Presumably they'll be getting a lot less busy soon, but there have been some setbacks.

Under rating threshold (show) seeing as party alignment of cabinet affects relations with other countries does this include the speaker?
