I wish there was a list of bills I participated in, not just the ones I introduced. It's kinda hard to keep track when I randomly choose a bill to help out.
Perhaps the solution is to be more judicious about which bills you help out? This is also good for the nation. Make sure you pay attention to the nation stats when choosing what bills to support/oppose.

Ok... it says the developer locked me out of the game, I probably got some warnings, and was probably multiboxing, but I never got any warnings and don't evenknow what multiboxing is! Please help!
Well, that means you managed to not read the rules, not read the game instructions, and not read any warnings I sent you. The characters "Cyndragon" and "Cabe Bedlam" were connecting from the same IP. They are in the same party and have the same traits. Don't play multiple characters yourself.
Assuming you're referring to the rates listed in nation stats, yes. A year in-game occurs every 4 weeks. Each week, the nation stats are computed for the quarter based on those values and applied (EOD Monday, specifically).

Theres a gu whose going to make a tutorial video? thats great! but i dont know him and am not friends with him. please tell me his username.
I don't know if he'd want me to tell you that or not, so I'm afraid I can't do that. I'm sure he'll be advertising the video in one way or another after he makes it, so you can find out at that point most likely.

okay if you get assassinated or kicked out of congress and you have to start all over do you keep your relics or do you lose them to because it won't let me store stalins mustache
Relics are unique items that are awarded to specific characters. If you lose your seat or die, they are repossessed and returned to the pool of relics that can be awarded. Therefore you cannot store them in deposit boxes, and tagging their equipment slot will have no effect.
# of associates has no direct gameplay effect. In the near future, you will be able to send private messages to your associates. Someone of course has to be an associate to promote them to crony, as well.

just so everyone know I'm the guy at the from the libertarian party thats at the bottom of the relic holders list in binary bills section.

I didn't realise buying liquor made you lose energy instantly, I was just gonna put it for display on the shelf infront of my TV. :(
Fear not! It's assumed that you already have such a carafe in place (and probably many other places! And probably a flask!) You're just drinking enough that you need to purchase a refill. Can't have an EMPTY carafe there, now can you? (also do note that consumable items say "Use" on the button instead of "Buy" to indicate the instantaneous nature, though I do apologize for the misunderstanding)
The wiki is not official information provided by me. That's why there's no link to it in the game. Here is a link to it, though I can tell you for certain that some information on it is wrong (though it's more accurate than it used to be): http://clout-the-game.wikia.com/wiki/Clout:_The_Game_Wiki

could you add a rehab clinic. it could reduce time to get off drugs by half. you would have to pay in game cash to use it and if you are caught going there it will cause a scandel and everyone would know what drugs you use. also you have paparazzi introduced randomly to introduce scandels but you can pay them off or introduce a bill for them.
My mom actually doesn't like the game, so I'd say you're wrong. I assume "mothercrap" is "crap for mothers", or something. Please let me know if I'm mistaken as I'd love to address your well-explained and insightful criticism.

okay wait how can we get rid of nasa funding twice and child labor laws i mean there both already outlawed how can we double outlaw something?
Not outlawing; those are the opposite bills to try and reverse the bills that were just passed. Take careful note of the names (they vary by only one word, usually. Also a different party color).

We have to increase the population growth, if any one has any ideas (No, you are not allowed to clone an army) than post them.
Spread of players in the last week: 251, 103, 101, 236, 164. Libertarians are actually the most active currently, from the looks of it. Probably explains our lack of taxes.

I've noticed the libertarian party is really big but we have like no one in the vips and the ones we do have are only supreme court people
The supreme court is always more varied in political affiliation due to how members are appointed. The president/VP and cabinet will generally be politically-aligned, as they are ALL appointed offices that change with the presidency. Supreme Court Justices are only appointed if one dies or retires. This is how it works IRL and in-game.
I seriously doubt the population growth rate will stay low enough for that long... but if the nation gets bad enough then everybody loses the game. I haven't decided what exactly that means yet in terms of what happens to the world and characters in it.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Dreaming In Digital
I unlocked an acievement for taking drugs. (;
I should get $1000 dollors for such a great job done! :D
That achievement is for passing a binary bill, not taking drugs. I've simply been handing out the achievements to people retroactively since I just implemented them.

About hallucinogens: Make 'em so that using them gives you -stress and -minus energy but for a certain amount of time your abilities can randomly gaff :D

delosford, I never really thought any of your other games were exceptional, (No offense, they were good but not the best) but you nailed it on this one.
Thanks for the feedback and support!... but, other games? I think you may have me confused for someone else. This is the only game I've uploaded to Kongregate. I guess I do have a duplicate entry for this game on my profile... but that was just due to some confusion with the Kreds-enabled approval process. I mean, I guess I have made other games in the past... but not here on Kongregate.

Idea: Make cannabis a purchasable drug. It takes ALOT of stress away but Way more energy, maybe even like 50. It is regularly cheap, and scandals involving it are not so big if cannabis is currently legalized in the country.
As I've told the user below you, I do want to add hallucinogenic drugs to the game... but they will not have the same effect as current drugs. For a variety of reasons, it wouldn't make sense. Also, if Cannabis were to be a drug, it would definitely be less of a swing than liquor, much less heroin. I'm not sure if you've ever done any drugs, but let's just say having cannabis take twice as much energy as heroin would be quite silly.
I want to add various hallucinogenic drugs to the game, but I don't want them to do what current drugs do. They will have a special and as-yet-to-be-determined effect.
Looks like it's INT-5 in the DB... though looking over the penalties, I should probably ease most of them up a bit. They do seem a bit harsh in retrospect.
You're not "losing people" per-se, you're failing to create enough new ones to outstrip the death rate. This is actually a fairly common problem for developed nations. If the US outlawed immigration, our population growth rate would be negative. And yes, the tax rate is really 3%. Most of the nation's taxes were coming from the carbon tax, which got repealed recently.

Hey how much ad revenue do you get for a certain amount of plays. i would like to know as i was thinking of making a game
The amount earned from advertising varies by many factors I can't see. However, I will say the ad revenue I've personally earned isn't much. Less than $1/1000 plays currently.

Drinks fine wine alone at home by the fireplace while petting a cat* Reporters: Clearly penguinkirby has committed a major scandal! Ok
I think if you look in your character log you'll find a description as to why this occurred. Also, it's not a major scandal. It's 500CSP, which is the smallest scandal there is with the CSP loss being easily recoverable by about 1 day or so of normal play. You'd have to get hit with like 10 of them in a row for it to even have a meaningful effect (contrast with 1 or 2 having a similar effect with other scandals). The purpose of these scandals isn't to damage people's characters. It's to allow people the option to "drown out" worse scandals for investigations.

I tied using the "Think of the children" move in real life along side with the "Accuse Opponents of Racism" move. It turns out that polititians know what they're talking about. They are pretty powerul speakers.

Wait. This just made me realize that this may be even grimdarker than Warhammer. I mean, sure, there's no Chaos or Space Nazi Priests, but in Warhammer they fight for causes they believe in. Here, we fight in the name of money and more money.

can you change it so you stay in the black market once you buy something. also please add energy drink to store. thanks.
How about I make it so whenever you use a consumable you stay in the store page you were in? Originally, there was no message indicator, which is why many older pages dump you back to status. And if you mean something that's +energy with no scandal... it's unlikely I will add this for gameplay reasons. It would make cash too good, essentially.
