After watching a video about how a guy lowered the total amounts he needed to try passwords by using many means, so he could bruteforce a PHP session key some days ago... I have to ask... You don't use the standard open source PHP Algorithm for that pseudo-random generation...Do you?
Just because something is called a session key doesn't mean it's the same thing you watched a video about. This question honestly makes no sense. There is also no such thing as a "pseudo-random" number, even though people love to throw that one around when talking about algorithms. RNG numbers are significantly more random than any physical event, which always have a predictable outcome.
yeeeah... I kind of want to remove that for them, but then I wonder maybe I should remove other abilities for other parties and it kind of creates a bit of a slippery slope there when I wanted all abilities to be available to every party from the start.

Is increasing mexican tariffs a green party bill or a neutral bill? Because I just lost some constituent support from playing on it.

Could there be a way to tag specific bills so they show up near the top of the bill list or even on our status pages? It would make things easier when you're working on other people's bills.

It'd be very convenient if you could travel directly to an associate or crony's profile by clicking on their name from "Cronies and Associates" > "Main" page. Can't do that at the bottom.
That's odd... there's nothing that should prevent the game from loading in a specific browser. Try loading your browser in safe mode or whatever turns off all plugins/extensions and see if it still works. Or just use Chrome.

in the future will harvey dent rely on a die instead of a coin, leading to him to potentially be a member of all 5 parties or an independant?
It's likely you experienced some kind of temporary connection-related issue. The game was experiencing more of those than usual yesterday. In addition, I was changing a lot of stuff and if you happen to try and hit the game as I'm uploading something you'll usually get some kind of error.

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.

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.
