Zombiepop posted:ok! thanks, I will plan something different and try again. No, music's great. If you bring a guitar into combat, when you "fight," you play at them, which is a nonviolent attack against their wisdom. If successful, it can lower wisdom/raise heart and possibly stun them; if heart is pushed above wisdom, it turns them liberal. You can then recruit them or whatever. I don't think the conversion to liberal itself affects anything on the large scale, which is a pity. And conversion to liberal is a lot slower, even when massively skilled, than conversion to corpse via bullet to face. But still.

ate poo poo on live tv posted:Yea but the only benefit for volunteering is getting your juice non-negative. Otherwise you are better off spray painting while wearing a black turtleneck. Though I think selling music is good too, as it's legal and trains your music skill. Which hopefully will be awesome when I get my band together. From what I've read volunteering raises public opinion of the LCS and reduces heat slightly. It's better than doing nothing. ate poo poo on live tv posted:So I know there is some kind of Musical combat. But when I tried to engage in it, my liberal was killed by wisdom, so I haven't dabbled in it since. You know how it works, or are you just going to get the band together get it trained up, and then see what happens? You need very high musical skill (20 or more) to be effective in combat with it. I'd recommend training up the Dodge skill (acrobatics at the college). Most notable, is that when you're in combat with multiple conservatives, turning one of them liberal will cause infighting. Basically wo lo lo. Earlier versions of the game also had the comedy option of rocking out so hard you could turn a M1 Abrams liberal and recruit it as a sentient death machine, but this has since been removed.

StashAugustine posted:Is it possible to influence which laws get changed, like if you want a socialist paradise where you can buy machineguns on a street corner I think so. Various secret documents seem to influence public opinion in specific ways. For example, making the reactor meltdown make public opinion shift against Nuclear Power. Secret Police Documents shifts public opinion vs Crime Laws. I'm not sure if all laws have something specific that influences them, but maybe?

I want to say sort of. I mean you can influence gun control by murdering a lot of people, but having a ton of control over it probably isn't possible since I think once you start flipping laws they go in a wave.

Influencing specific issues can be done by raiding related locations, peacefully or violently. Some locations have no attached issues though (Park, Latte Stand, Internet Cafe, Vegan Co-op, Apartment Buildings, safe houses) When Free Speech laws are C+, then raiding the Fireman HQ affects public opinion on free speech, but at other levels its just a Fire Station and has no impact. The Court House has probably the most issues attached to it. (Notably free speech, gay rights, racial equality, appointing liberal judges, probably others) A liberal with a high art skill set to spray graffiti will paint large murals which will be about a random issue. And as others mentioned, publishing certain documents retrieved from looting locations or hacking will impact specific issues. Concordat has issued a correction as of 08:16 on Dec 15, 2016 |

But you can't change the victory conditions or the fact that once public opinion goes L and starts electing L officials it will push everything towards L and L+.

That's exactly what I was hunting for, but it was still a surprise to see 26. It's probably unfortunate that the best strategy for recruiting someone for pretty much any task is to trawl through endless mutants looking for the one guy who happens to be superhumanly capable in what you need.

This was a busy month for us. Our newest members have chosen names, and they are getting into the swing of things, and they are all quickly building their skills. The former sweatshop slaves have finally overcome their condition, and their potential has skyrocketed.  Even the children, like Dr. Zimbardo here, are learning quickly.  The team is hard at work, now - everyone knows what they should be doing.   For my own part, I've been sneaking into the homes of the wealthy and liberating their valuables to help fund the squad.  It feels so easy - they feel so safe in their expensive condominiums that I can steal their stuff right out from under their noses, leaving them none the wiser.  I don't limit myself to just the homes of the wealthy - as time progresses and my confidence grows, I begin planning more dangerous heists, into the heart of the organizations that wish to stop me.  A single visit to a wealthy home still provides more than a weeks worth of effort from our fabricators, but that should change as their skills improve.    Of course, we aren't the only ones that are busy - the gears of the government continue to grind. For example, the Supreme Court has been handing down decision after decision.   I decided it was time to get more aggressive. I found Battle Royale Baby on the street, in a fistfight with a college student over who knows what.   I dragged him off the kid, telling him to get the rest of Tooth and Claw together. We had work to do. We purchased a new weapon for me...  ... and headed to the genetics lab. This time around, we weren't here to slink about or persuade. We were here to cause some trouble.              Our squad initially chaffed at the idea of killing fellow genetic monsters, but that was part of why we did this. There could be no hesitation, and in a way putting down these caged creatures was a mercy. After polishing our skills against these imprisoned conservative weapons, we aimed a bit higher - human prey. With the genetics laboratory closed down, we moved onto the cosmetics testing facility, and caused some liberal chaos among the amoral heartless scientists that worked there.      So now both our monsters and humans had taken the blood of their own kind. We were bonded now, as a proper team. It was finally time to go after our real targets. The Firemen. Firemen were part of an attempt by the government to suppress any and all dissenting voices. They did not put out fires - they burned them. They burned books, newspapers, entire libraries, and anyone who said the wrong thing at the wrong time. They were the most monstrous of the conservative forces, their weapons indiscriminate and leaving nothing but ash. And we were going to take them down one at a time. All we needed was the patience to find one alone and unsuspecting, and then...         We looted the corpse and fled quickly, but we'd be back.  We had a court case to see, anyway. I do wonder if the conservative forces realized just how many of our team were assembled in that courthouse. What would they have done if they'd known? Many of us couldn't help but snicker as the officers walked by. They looked at us with contempt, and then went back to ignoring us. The show was about to begin. I fingered the pistol underneath my coat, and hoped I wouldn't have to use it. Ignatius sat down behind the podium, frowning at the defendant, the spitting image of the stern conservative judge. As he looked down, the facade nearly broke as he cracked the barest hint of a smile.  Captain Rainbowbeard stood up, and as the judge banged away with his gavel insisted that the public defender assigned to him was a no good piece of poo poo, and that he would defend himself in this ludicrous and unfounded case. The judge ordered the public defender to leave the courtroom, and jury selection began. Throughout the process, the prosecutor could not help but end up confused and flummoxed, and the jury that resulted was nothing like what he expected. Once the case began, he only grew more uncertain, stumbling through his presentation. Somehow, Captain Rainbowbeard had smuggled in an entire powerpoint presentation, arranged for a parade of witnesses, and the judge kept allowing him to introduce additional evidence that had never come up in discovery. This case had been a slam dunk for the prosecution, the evidence was irrefutable, and yet... here was this madman, who had not only defended himself well but moved on to using the witness stand as an opportunity to evangelize against the corruption in the legal system until the jury was nodding along with him. Reporters in the room, tipped off by yours truly, were already salivating over the articles they'd be able to write about this. At one point, without anyone even really realizing it, he admitted straight up that he committed the crimes, and then told the jury to acquit him anyway.  And they did. The verdict came back, NOT GUILTY. The court broke out into celebration as the judge called for order. The case was over.  He left with us, nothing but laughs and smiles, a crazy look in his eyes. "Just you wait", he said, "This was just a bit of vandalism. Just you wait and see what I get away with next." News:

Having at least four sleeper judges guarantees that one of them will oversee your trials. Turns out that even the best defense (20+ persuation and 20+ law) won't get you out of a dozen murders, treason, bank robbery, and terrorism charges though.
