I currently have a save where my interrogator didn't quit Tending a Hostage after I successfully turned them into a sleeper.

[Squeegy]

Common bug. Not game-breaking in any way.

[Earthquake Damage]

I see you still haven't fixed an ancient mostly-harmless-but-certainly-annoying bug:  If you send a squad to raid the Homeless Shelter, pressing any key (not just 's') will pass a turn.

[Jonathan S. Fox]

Wow, that must be truly ancient. I never even knew that bug existed.

[E. Albright]

Aye, I didn't find the hostage-tending bug to be critical, but as I'd never seen it or even seen it mentioned...

I also have a save with some fun vector subscript crashes that appeared to arise from mixing pedestrians with passengers in the same squad when leaving a site... but this was extra-fun because the save didn't appear to, um, stay the same when I reloaded it. I reproduced the crash once; tried a third time and got a crash when going to the site instead; backed up the save; tried a fourth time and found that the passengers then all listed as pedestrians but it'd still crash on leaving the site. The same holds true for the backed-up save.

(I got around it by re-assigning everyone to another vehicle, and continued as if nothing untoward had happened.)

The Education of Angel Takayoshi: Day 5

The Automaton is tied hands and feet to a metal chair
in the middle of a back room.

Rafal tries to expose the true Liberal side of Angel Takayoshi.
Angel Takayoshi wonders what mental disease has possessed Rafal.

LOL! 

Edit: Sorry for off-topic. I found it very funny and had to post it somewhere...

[Squeegy]

Yeeaaaahhh... that's completely off-topic and a totally pointless post.

[Think0028]

I'm not even sure what's supposed to be funny. That's just a standard response for high-Science conservatives, right?

I just realized something about paraplegic liberals. Being capped at 1 agility means that they can't be useful in combat in the one way you would expect them to be: using guns.
I suggest that the game keeps track of how much agility a wheelchair-ridden liberal would have and caps their gun skill at that with a small penalty to show that they wouldn't be able to aim as well if they wouldn't be able to move their entire body around.

If Liberal Crime Squad were being commercially developed by a multi-million dollar development house, it would have structured play testing where people would come in off the street, sign non-disclosure agreements, and be video taped as they played the game. Designers would not only note laughs, but every smile, analyzing the players' reactions to determine what works and what doesn't. Afterwards, the play tester would fill out paperwork describing their experience, what they found particularly fun as well what they thought could be improved.

In game development, knowledge of what people find enjoyable is of no less importance to a designer than knowing what is broken or buggy. So I feel kind of bad for Rafal99 being told that his post is off-topic or pointless. I mean, hey, this is the thread about the latest release of the game. We can post what we don't like in this thread, but not what we do like?

I guess I can understand why people could see it that way, but from my point of view, it isn't just meaningful feedback but actually personally rewarding in that it makes me feel good about all the energy, thought, and time I've put into the game. So I don't wish to tell anyone what they should think, but I hope that Rafel99 does not feel too chagrined for posting that.

I think the interrogation mini-game is the most hilarious thing in the game.

Anyways, I don't think Police should ever be Liberals. They should always remain conservatives even if the society is Elite-Liberal. I mean, you still have recruitable hippies even in an a hellish Arch-conservative society, there should always be Conservative reactionaries running around.

I think if you wanted to have social-worker cops, just make a new type of Police character that shows up in Elite-liberal societies like the Death Squad guys show up in Arch-conservative societies.

"Peace Officer" would be an suitibly Liberal thing to call them. I can picture them being like the Spandex-wearing bicycle cops or the guys driving Smart Cars and wearing those bright-colored yellow uniforms designed to not intimidate people.

[E. Albright]

Police Mediator might work for a moniker as well.

I'm not even sure what's supposed to be funny. That's just a standard response for high-Science conservatives, right?

Yes, he was Eminent Scientist.
It is my first time interrogating such an important Conservative. I expected something usual like "Holds firm." or "Quietly considers LCS ideas.", then I saw this and laughted hard.

I think the interrogation mini-game is the most hilarious thing in the game.

I just found that yesterday. Generally all ingame conversations with Conservatives are really funny. I also love how Conservative and Liberal newspapers describe the same event in a totally different ways. I always laugh when I read them.

(...) I hope that Rafal99 does not feel too chagrined for posting that.

I don't. We are in the Internet after all, you cannot care too much.
There was also a fault on my side. There are more intelligent ways to describe that something is funny than "<quote> LOL!" ...

[Rezan]

Rafal wins.

The lol in all capitals plus the numbers in your name led me to believe you were, shall we say, a noob.
