Under rating threshold (show) -507% health improvement.... That's not bad right?

Developer response from delosford

We're only regressing 5 years in medical care every year. So yeah, totally normal.

Under rating threshold (show) hey, so i had $8000 then i passed out and it was gone. did the EMT's take it?

Developer response from delosford

Unlikely. Did you get robbed while you were passed out? It'd be in your log/the paper.

Under rating threshold (show) Hey just a head up to the Dev. if you hit back page button on a firefox browser you can actually restore energy and get yourself out of a comma. of course as soon as you try anything you get a message that assumed i was hacking when in fact i was trying to continue. Also great Game

Developer response from delosford

So you're saying you hit back while in a coma and then couldn't do anything? Yes, that's intentional. The game checks for that. Thanks for saying so about the game.

Under rating threshold (show) A reset is not in order, we are still 6-5 ranked in all the world, which is not nearly low enough for a reset...

Under rating threshold (show) Well, Delos, I look forward to seeing what happens. I still think a reset could be in order. I don't know if anybody would actually agree with that, but that way we could all build up the world together rather than trying to fix what the last generation did. (If only we could do that in the real world...)

That's certainly one way to get the message.

Under rating threshold (show) I take that back. Starting an investigation on "759" does this even in the normal Kongregate page. The weird part is I got a message telling me to investigate them...

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

Maybe the 759 doesn't mean what you think it does?

Under rating threshold (show) For some reason opening the game's frame in a new tab results in a "Hacking the game is bad, mmmkay?" message. Just so you know. I hope my account didn't land on a sort of blacklist or anything like that.

Under rating threshold (show) @yerya Some countries can actually declare war on us, and i think people can riot so that's what the protesting restriction do.

Aug. 04, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) Okay, some of these bills make sense. I can see exactly how they will affect the states in someway. But I'd like to know how things like human cloning, increase defense spending, and protesting restrictions do to the us.

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

You'll have to find some way to figure that out. Many of the game mechanics are intentionally obfuscated to enhance realism.

Under rating threshold (show) So I've been playing this game for five minutes, decided to support a bill for abolishing all laws and now I'm passed out unconscious. I think I like this game.

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

Glad to hear it!

firebuttokcs

Aug. 04, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) So, I see that a lot of people are kind of surprised and disappointed with the current state (ha) of affairs with the country. Perhaps it would be in everyone's best interest to simply pass a win bill. Any win bill. That way, we could reset the game, and everything could actually be made by everyone, rather than (from what I've read) the new players messing around in a country that was screwed up by the old players.

+ - !

(4)

Developer response from delosford

The pay down national debt bill is definitely going to move things in the right direction, though public health is about to become a hilariously negative number.

KillerOfU33

Aug. 04, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) I know this is a sensitive topic, but what about Beastiality binary bills for the Green Party? And since there is socialism in the game, why not Homosexuality laws, just to make the game more realistic? We know that the homosexuality laws won't ever be outlawed anyway, but still would be a nice bit of realism.

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

No and no. For the latter: unlike the real-world US, religion is not more heavily tied to any one party than another. So such laws would have no specific party affiliation.

Under rating threshold (show) Hey, this game is great! If i could add one thing I wish the Nation View was more in depth, with charts and graphs, or even if the data was presented raw (google sheets?) so users could manipulate it themselves. Know what I mean? -- charts and graphs

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

Most of what the game tracks is in an aggregated form, so I can't really make more specific charts and graphs. But I see what you mean.

There are specific reasons related to the cost of certain important abilities that dictate how large the clout tiers are.

Under rating threshold (show) I don't know if it would unbalance the game but i would like a market where players can exchange/sell equipment.

Developer response from delosford

You'll find after not too long that you can have all the equipment you want. I don't think many people would use it.

Developer response from delosford

I'd really prefer not to have to move the game again, and the stalkers will follow us anyway. It needs to stop here. The hosting company seems to actually be doing something now, so we'll see.

Under rating threshold (show) What is applied first? Bills, or salaries?

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

Salaries most likely, though it could theoretically change order sometimes due to how the functions are called.

Under rating threshold (show) Man, I am just reading these notices from this game. Sorry to hear about your troubles, Delosford.

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

Well, as long as people know what's going on, it's not going to affect the game long-term. Seems like it's making people more eager to play.

Under rating threshold (show) if this game gets a high enough rating, will you be willing to allow badges, delos?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

Pretty sure we're already past the rating requirement for badges. I'll talk to Kongregate about it eventually. The rating now makes us eligible for that and sponsorship as far as I know, though I'll probably wait to pursue either until after the release of The Lobby.

shocker14

Aug. 03, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) Delosford, can we have a stress reset, and an energy reset? Our energy doesn't go up when the server is down, and We have loads of stress because we haven't had a stress reset because the server keeps going down.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

The server has never crashed for any reason, though I'll check if those scripts haven't run. It seems that somebody at the hosting company is manually shutting off the VM for the server.

shocker14

Under rating threshold (show) Looks like the server's down again. Good Luck Devs.

Under rating threshold (show) @keycie What type of coma? Is your energy at/below 0? Then you will wake up when it is above 0. Are you in the hospital, and you can't get out? For me, it's a day before my health is even PASSABLE enough to get out of the hospital

The server has never crashed even once in the entire 5-year history of the game. Please read the announcements.

Under rating threshold (show) Does public debt being negative mean we have money? Debt is usually a bad thing, but a less ambiguous use would be like net worth or something like that.

It's perfectly unambiguous.

Aug. 02, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) for some reason I'm not getting my "campaign contribution" for passing bills, i get a "campaign contribution" for introducing bills but not for passing it all i get for passing it is clout. I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm just being screwed by whom ever was supposed to be paying me, some assistance with this would be appreciated.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

You don't gain money from campaign contributions until the bill actually gets applied to the nation. This is due to the possibility of a veto.

Aug. 02, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) If we keep just piling taxes up (and eventually phase out other, more spendthrift parties) and our GDP keeps growing at a constant rate, then, comrades, we may one day stabilize the economy and not end up as slaves to China. On a side note, why the hell did our defense budget *increase* after we've ended the completely pointless war with our Chinese comrades? What, will it go back down as we declare war on Russia or something? Seriously, what the hell is going on over in the external affairs?

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

The game had somewhat devolved into experienced players doing silly things instead of maintaining the nation before the newbie flood happened.

Under rating threshold (show) For all those who are new to the game, please take a look at the wiki "Bills" section. It helps you understand how the bills you are putting up effect the overall state of the game. http://clout-the-game.wikia.com/wiki/Bills

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

Do note that the wiki is not official information and I do not vouch for the accuracy of any information on it.

misko27

Aug. 02, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) Is there a specific number where the debt finally ends us? Because without a good Red Line to draw, it's difficult to motivate people.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from delosford

Debt:gdp is part of the nation rank formula.
