These connection problems are really annoying! I know its not your fault (the developer) but it is just irratating. You should consider finding a different server provider, or host, or whatever you wanna call the guys that are causing this problemo

When I click anything (buy item or go to different section) it loads for sometime and then stops, no change in the screen.
Sounds like the same internet connectivity problems most people are having. You can open a command prompt and try doing a tracert to cloutserver.net to see where along the line it's failing to connect.

>You did not get to it by using the game interface, which is my point. If you want to put broken URLs into your browser and make the interface have problems... that's not really something I can prevent (or care to).
You don't want to understand? I've just opened the kongregate page and showed up the nginx, I've not made anything special about that. I was using the interface...

It seems people are having problems with getting on - I haven't, but I think I'll be emailing them anyway. Is it possible to petition or otherwise organize protest against this kind of thing? Or is the best any given person can do just send them emails? If they're not doing what you pay them to do, they're doing something illegal, and it's also inconsiderate and deceptive if they're trying to lie about it. I hope this issue can be resolved.
People are attacking connectivity to the game and my hosting company is lying about it. They actually tried to tell me that 504 errors are being caused by the server not having enough RAM. The server isn't even using half its RAM, and RAM can't cause internet connectivity problems before you ever hit the server.

>Why would I even bother? Hitting the server directly like that isn't exactly something you can get to via the game interface.
I've actually hit it last night when I've sent the comment. Seems fixed now

I believe this game has a lot of potential to be an awesome politics games would be nice to see some real life database simulator such as features for the Stock Market on Wall street just a lot of upgrades to the existing Clout. The ability to pick a country for congress ship would be great in addition to fast updates on Foreign relations. Also would be nice to have a feature where you can create your own Congress Character with the added item abilities. Overall in my opinion great game and as well a News theme with generated news effected by the bills you pass an example such as a Newsreporter saying crime might spiral out of control because we passed the loose gun control bill but with the added make fun of congress comedy : P
Thanks for the feedback and support, though it's not likely I'll be implementing a complex market simulation. This isn't really the game for that. I'm not really sure what you mean by your other ideas.

A PM system would be awesome though, especially seeing as this is a game where you interact with eachother even if you don't, because everyones decisions affect The Not-So-United States Of America.
You really think pages and pages of ahuiwrhautaiwtgb ajkjfkahgaoiwh a iwurgbairbavwtaib bfiavbfvaiw etiautyghwiuart would make the game better? The problem is that trying to programmatically determine content (let alone quality) of a freeform entry is pretty much impossible.

Currently there is no way to tell a player directly who is outside of chat "No, don't do that." even within your own party.

Can you have new players directed to their party and team chats so they don't mess stuff up? I think it would help a lot as a new player...

I am amazed that you are able to respond to every comment that people make, even the best devs will only respond to the top few, so mad props!
I've contacted the hosting company. There's nothing I can personally do about a 504 error. It's being intentionally caused by detractors of the game. They've done it a couple times before. Guess they can't handle the recent success due to the advertising.

just wondering how do you lower stress, every thing i try does nothing and just increases my stress more, or am i missing something? also what happens when your stress hits 100%?
Certain drugs and other scandalous actions decrease stress. Additionally, your stress decreases at the end of each day by an amount that varies based on a few factors but is usually between 20-25%. At 100% stress your ability plays will do nothing. Stress in general decreases the effectiveness of your ability plays.

Flamewolf, I think you're mixing up "liberalism" and "libertarianism." Libertarianism is effecitvely shouting "Screw off, government; we can take care of it ourselves!"

I feel like the socialist side is rather empty at the moment.
When I chose it, I expected to have trouble getting any of my bills through, not to not HAVE any special bills.
Where's the bill to implement more government-run companies, for example?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by not having any "special bills". The Socialist Party has just as many binary bills and win bills as any other party.

why the hell is one of the libertarian bills to DECREASE education spending?? That is completely opposite of libertarian beliefs.

So Im a major libertarian IRL, and I picked libertarian in the game, and yet a majority of the bills available for me to introduce do NOT follow libertarian policies.
Make sure you actually know your political platforms before making a political game.
Well, you seem to be the only person out of 20,000 players created to ever claim this, so there's a pretty good chance you aren't actually as correct as you think you are. There's also a difference between actual Libertarianism and the IRL Libertarian Party.

@GIJulia, Your name will be shown in your party's color when you speak, and you'll see your party's color when you go to the party post in the cronies and associates tab. Also, the bills you can introduce are a better guideline for gaining constituent support.

Is there a way to see which colors are which party? I've forgotten my party's color and I keep acting outside of my party's lines
