can you pretty please make the pie chart in 'world view' a circle? or make numbers? thanks, it's kinda hard to tell with the elliptical shape
It's not the elliptical shape. I assure you that any human brain will automatically compensate for that. Pie charts in general are not good for conveying specific information. It's there mostly to look pretty, and making it a circle makes it look like complete crap.
Not for everyone, no. There will be a paid option for this, all filters, sending longer messages, and some other stuff because storing tons and tons of long strings is bad for the DB. Things get kept a lot cleaner if not everyone can store infinite messages of a long length. I'm not really running GMail 2, here.

is it possible to increase our relation from abysmal? if so how, and increasing tarrifs seems to decrease trade, resulting in pretty much the same amount of money...

Would be helpful to have a section under "Bills" where you could see the ones you've acted on that are still open instead of having to do another search...
There used to be an option for this, but a bug in MySQL makes the performance of that filter abysmal. (Think the difference between .0002-.0004s for a typical query and 4.5s for a simple reference to your previous actions). For reasons of game performance for everyone, I can't have an option like that in the game.

So what exactly is The Lobby? Does creating a character there delete your one here? Do actions taken in there affect game play in here?
The Lobby is a separate game, with tie-ins to clout. Creating a character does not delete your character here. You can affect the gameplay in Clout with some actions in The Lobby, but to do so you have to accrue and spend favors with NPC politicians, which is a time-consuming process. There are also direct player->player interactions such as PC lobbyists from The Lobby offering bribes to PC Congresspersons in Clout (obviously, these interactions are disabled between your own characters).

Derp, comment got cut off. Anyway, so I heard that you wouldn't reset the game if the win bill passed or the country-crashers won. If nothing bad will hpapen, then why bother?
Considering up until yesterday there was a big news post about how the game would be reset if the win bill wasn't stopped... I'm not really sure where you're getting that idea from.
No. This would severely cheapen team gameplay in a lot of ways. If you're still CT1 and want to be part of a different party, just ask. I can alter your party, but players never will be able to.

I approve of the diversified endgame proposed by ironsmasher, and making it different for every win bill would be coolio. A small DOOM period before endgame is awesome on EVERY game. Also, another suggestion, records for things such as "longest filibuster" "most time alive and elected" "most bills passed on a single life" "most people murdered on a single life(counts only after character dies)"
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Instead of an instant reset if the win bill passes can all the players be randomly murdered over the course of a few days or a week.

"Have a feature/bug fix you’ve been waiting on for a long time and I said I’d get to? I probably forgot!"
So did i =(

Parties are still sometimes against the passage of certain unaligned bills. If you're unsure about how your party feels about a certain topic on foreign relations, google the official party platform of the party your character is in. That's where I usually draw the party positions from. Some parties are pretty ambivalent/nonspecific on foreign relations, whereas others have hardline views on tariffs and foreign intervention.

"The rate of regular energy regen is 1 energy/8 real-time minutes for all characters"....you mean to say that it takes normal people 40 minutes to catch their breath before they can say a simple sentence? o.O
Taking the floor in Congress is a slightly more complicated procedure than just saying a sentence to yourself in your house. Do also keep in mind that if you're low on energy at all, it means you've been debating a rather lot already, which requires time to recover from as it would for any normal human being. Obviously nobody works 24/7 because you require rest after exerting yourself (or a whole lot of meth, I suppose).

First they came for the Trade Unionists,
and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the communists,
and I did not speak out because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me,
and there was nobody left to speak out for me.
This quote from pastor Martin Niemöller demonstrates that fascism can creep up on us if we don't oppose bills like this one."
I love that qoute :P
When you/somebody else passes your bill, only your net gain counts towards your lifetime clout. If this wasn't true, passing your own bills would be more than twice as good as doing anything else to advance your lifetime clout.

How does it work when Moses loses his speaker of the house? Does he immediately lose his seat or does he survive until next end-of-month?
The speaker election happens just before the general election, so if he is no longer speaker then he's subject to normal elections immediately as he loses that position.

binary idea: universal pre-k.
Socialists and liberals would be for it.
Conservatives, libertarians, and greens against.
I'm not sure people would feel very strongly about this one way or another. I try to pick binary bills that will get people to fight strongly for/against them.
Some of what you can/can't do definitely needs some work. I just threw it in so you guys could get to using it. It'll be improved a lot in the not too distant near future.

Q, i don't know if it's because i'm a liberal, but i can't seem to access to some country in FR. Iran, Colombia,Cuba,Nicaragua and North Korea. Is there some reasons for this ? I find it odd i can't even get access to the states of our Relationship with them.

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I just went outside my party lines by opposing increasing foreign aid to Israel. My party is Socialist. Unless of course it's outside every party's line, what with the powerful lobby they have.

america technically annexed all of their territories outside of the 13 original colonies including alaska, hawaii, guam, virgin islands, philipenes, and they also tried (and failed) to annex cuba, the dominican republic and probably some others I'm forgetting.
I assumed he had meant the more general term of annexation rather than the voluntary process of inclusion into the US. My point was mostly that the US doesn't go to war to annex land, so that won't be an option in-game.
If you lose your character for any reason you will lose the items you have. Make sure to tag the item to a deposit box if you're wearing it, and store it in one if you're not. If you're having some kind of issues with your safe deposit boxes, let me know. Some people couldn't see them due to a bug, though I thought I got everyone.

so, if the game resets we all lose everything? Because it might be nice to let the winning party keep their stuff (and I'm TOTALLY not asking because I'm a green party member).

really appreciate the quick responses but I think you still clearly not understand my problem. I know where is the link and how should I use it. The only prolem is that I do not have the link right now, and do not have any access to it, because it is inside the game, but as I am not re-elected, I can not access any Clout stuff, because I am stuck at the choice screen with Retire/Lobbyist/Re-election, where the last is inactive.
So I all know about what to do, but I do not have access to the link itself at the moment, and that is my problem.
I hope this is clearly specifies my problem.
And big thanks for the effort put in from your side, not only to the game but to all the user ideas/problems and so on.
I now understand what you're saying. I'm currently speaking with someone from Kongregate via email and it seems I can have him add people by kongregate username so they can access The Lobby normally. I'll have him do this with your username and send you a message when it's done.

Yeah I know where the link is, the problem is, that I can not access it, as I am showed the "You lost" screen with the three choices, when I clikck on the Lobbyist, I get back to the Kong main page.
As the note with the link states, due to how kongregate works with unreleased games you have to log out, visit the link, then log in when prompted (or with the header if the prompt doesn't come up. I dunno why it doesn't sometimes). I'm trying to get a hold of someone at kong to change this so it's not so ridiculous.

Realistily if you introduced a win condition bill wouldn't you lose ALOT of Voter support cause lets face it I wouldn't vote for a congressman who wanted to Legalize Homicide
The presumption is that your constituents secretly support that view. Obviously it's a bit of a joke. Though, do consider that congresspersons tend to be WAY more polarized and partisan than presidential and gubernatorial candidates.
