I have a founder who maximizes their Persuasion, Seduction, Disguise, Stealth, and has very high Security, by going on numerous solo raids where he hits on all the Conservatives and talks about issues to all the Liberals, while ignoring all Moderates, and picks the locks on all the doors, and steals huge amounts of loot (but never doing the lockpicking or stealing loot if there are any witnesses). So the founder never gets caught doing crimes, and eventually through this play style I get their juice up to 200 and they are an Urban Commando. They also end up with loads of money from stealing all the loot and selling it at the Pawnshop. They also develop a very high Tailoring skill, making various outfits, and ultimately the outfit of choice is SEAL Stealth Armor (before I get that, the first outfit of choice is the Trenchcoat, and then the Ninja Costume, until I am able to make a SEAL Stealth Armor). If Stealth goes up all the way but Disguise isn't maxed out, I max it out by going someplace in an Elephant Suit or Donkey Suit (those both have zero stealth value but hide your face so nobody knows who you are), and then max out Disguise while dressed as an Elephant or Donkey. Once all of that is maxed out and I've made at least one of every type of armor that I can tailor, and I've also bought everything sold at the Pawnshop, the Oubliette, and the Department Store, well around that time I also steal cars until I manage to steal a Sportscar, those are the best cars, and of course I avoid getting caught by the cops or anyone, so I still have a completely blank criminal record and 0 heat, but 200 Juice. Now once all those stats are maxed out and I have a Sportscar, it's time to start kidnapping huge numbers of Conservatives after taking them out on dates. I typically use a Combat Knife since it's easy to conceal but intimidates them when I kidnap them. At places where there's Metal Detectors I use Spraypaint instead, it can also be used to intimidate people on dates and kidnap them. I start out small with the kidnappings, focusing on Teenagers, Security Guards, etc., types that are very easy to convert to Liberal, and make sure that every Conservative I kidnap ends up as a Sleeper. Also, during interrogations, I always wear Bondage Gear, it is the best for interrogation. Anyway, once I max out the Psychology skill by turning small fry all over the place (at least 1 in every building) into Sleepers, I turn more and more high-ranking Conservatives into Sleepers by taking them out on dates and kidnapping them and then doing interrogation in Bondage Gear (and of course having a Sportscar to drive rather than taking them back to the base on foot, since they usually get away if it's on foot). And I STILL have no crimes that I'm wanted for and 0 heat after ALL THIS. Once I have a HUGE amount people converted to Sleepers, I do some other things to max out some other skills. For instance, I go around with a Guitar and play it at Conservatives at various sites, and by doing this a bunch of times, I max out the Music skill as well as the Dodge skill, and still don't have anything on my criminal record. Then, once I'm done with maxing out skills and collecting Sleepers, and am finally ready to start doing things that get my founder stuff on his criminal record, I turn my founder into a hacker. First my founder checks public opinion polls until their Computers skill gets up to 1, and once the Computers skill is 1, they do nothing but Hacking. Also, by this point where the hacking starts, the founder, along with all items, has been moved to a safehouse that has a business front as well as a printing press, as well as pretty much everything else, except the anti-aircraft gun since that's too expensive. Then every month, one of the documents from the founder's hacking activities gets put in the Liberal Guardian newspaper. Meanwhile with the Sleepers, I carefully monitor them. Anyone whose infiltration is up in the zone where the color is red is set to Promote Liberalism, while everyone who is purple or yellow or lower is set to Laying Low. Then I just continue having the founder be a hacker, printing the results of the hacking in the Liberal Guardian every month, and having all the Sleepers whose infiltration is in the red zone (above 80%) Promoting Liberalism while the Sleepers with lower infiltration are all Laying Low, and I regularly check on all the Sleepers as their infiltration values fluctuate and adjust which ones are Promoting Liberalism and which ones are Laying Low accordingly. Typically I have around 50 Sleepers. Anyway, I just do this for several years. The founder does get lots of things on his criminal record once he becomes a hacker, yes. But for some reason, one hacker alone, the police don't ever come after them, especially not in a safehouse with a business front, not enough heat I guess.
Anyway, if you can follow those instructions, you can easily beat the game with only 1 Active Liberal in the LCS, namely the founder (not counting any of the dozens of Sleepers). If you do a good job following those instructions, you can turn the country Elite Liberal sometime around the year 2020, either in November 2020 or sometime in 20201 (since for the 8 years between 2012 and 2020, you'll probably have just a regular Liberal as President and not an Elite Liberal, although during that time both Congress and the Supreme Court become Elite Liberal, and then in the 2020 elections you'll finally get an Elite Liberal President, and then depending on whether or not all the Issues are at Elite Liberal status, you'll either win the game in November 2020 or sometime in 2021).
I'm curious, though, does anyone have any strategies that work for turning the entire country Elite Liberal BEFORE November 2020? (For instance, somehow getting an Elite Liberal elected President in 2012.) I wonder what strategy turns the country Elite Liberal the fastest. I suppose technically, the earliest possible date you could liberalize the country is November 2012, since prior to that you have an Arch-Conservative President the first 4 years. But making the entire country Elite Liberal in less than 4 years, between January 2009 and November 2012, that is quite the challenge, I wonder if anyone here has strategies that work THAT fast.
