Candidates do not actually provide any real bonus. Let's say I use joe blabbin. The coin generator gets multiplied by 7, yes, but the time goes up by an equal amount. They effectively cancel each other out. Has anyone else seen this and if so is this a bug or is this intended? If intended it doesn't make much sense to me.

If intended it doesn't make much sense to me. Yea, I noticed that awhile ago. I think it is a thing done on purpose as there is no reason it should increase otherwise. Make people think they should spend to get better candidates when they mean very little. Only bonus I see is for when you clear a lot of quests in a shorter time equip one that gives extra cards or digs. I also think this is done on purpose because not everyone will check other than observant people that like to analyze things.

The following are some notes I've typed up regarding candidates. Speculations/questions are followed by question marks. > There is *no* penalty for switching parties regardless of what the game tries to tell you! > > Note that... > @ "donor collect speed" is the time to MAKE the money > @ "donor deliver time" is the time to DELIVER the money. The money's wings now does 4 "flaps" instead of 7. You will have to restart the game after selecting either of these two candidates for this to take affect! > > The "normal" candidate increases don't do much because they also lengthen the time it takes to generate the extra money in proportion to the amount of extra money earned! > Though, it does help the donors that spend a significant fraction of time delivering instead of collecting. > > Purple/epic candidates all clearly do what they advertise! Click on a quest and you'll see the dig (200 to 240 max) and card prizes (3+ to 5+) go up! > > For the legend candidates... > "Liberal's/Conservative's donors collect speed increased by 100%" > > As for Ronald Rump's Lobby thing, maybe it speeds up time collecting from donation booth??? > > Sometimes liberal candidates will help a conservative donor and vice versa. > > As for quacks, I don't think they matter much. > Something interesting is that candidates (unlike managers) max out at level 10. > > ------- >unique blue/rare candidates > ------- > > Mr. McBillions > "Liberal's donors collect speed increased by 32%" > > Doc Downer > "Increase the chances for the eagle or drone to appear by 50%" > Still takes 30 seconds for most eagles to appear after the previous one, but sometimes (rarely) one will appear sooner. > Maybe it affects the no-ad-possible eagles&drones differently??? > > > > Alex Cartel; Rant Paul > "Donation Booth's deliver time reduced by 20%" > Maybe the truck dumps faster ??? Or collects from donors faster ??? Or drives faster ??? > > Bernie Slanders; Dubya > "Lobby's deliver time reduced by 20%" > total time is 15 seconds regardless (when negligible amount to pick up) ???!! > No change in the total amount that will be picked up. > Probably it just picks up money faster from donation booth??? > > Minnesota Kaller; The Governator > "Increase the resources amount expended for quests requirements by 20%" > This must be for the quests where you need to spend a certain amount of cash/digs??? > > Ophelia Bigbucks; Steve Whiner > "Liberal's/Conservative's donors deliver time reduced by 50%" > > > > Connie No-Way > "Increase the Eagle or Drone reward by 20%" > Works for cash-only prizes, but only by like 5%. Gold is still 1+10 or 2+20 !! > Maybe it affects the no-ad-possible things differently???
