EDIT: Also, sleepers can become leaders.

Does this cause any problems in the game? I might leave it in as an unintended feature.

No, but if all my active liberals are arrested and executed I lose.

You're right, I started playing the save file again, and the Law skill turned from +0.99 to 1.00, so it was just a minor glitch, nothing to worry about.  Sorry.

Oh, that's just what happens when you have enough experience in a skill to go up a level. It stops at X.99 and doesn't go up to X+1 until the next day.

It would appear that by giving up when the police raid, you can avoid being taken to jail. I was just raided for the second time and the police didn't arrest anyone.

Does that mean that cops can use conversion attacks when unarmed soon?

Edit: Newspapers are disabled. I just brainwashed a corporate manager from the news studio and I couldn't make him a sleeper, so I am assuming he was reported kidnapped and no newspaper was displayed.

Not in general, in this case. Just Liberal cops not in your party. Their powers against you come from representing Liberal society, not inherent knowledge or ability.

What causes you to lose, specifically? Does it give you a message explaining the reason for defeat?

They'll only arrest those individuals with outstanding criminal records. If no one there is wanted for anything, they'll arrest no one if you give up. If only some of your people have committed crimes, they'll only arrest them.

General query: how much hair-tearing-out am I likely to incur and/or inflict if I try grabbing the current source and seeing about maybe actually finally looking at trying to refactor things? I'm kinda wary of trying right now as you seem to be doing moderately active development, but I wouldn't mind at least trying to take a stab at it (assuming, ha ha, that I can find the time).

[beorn080]

There should have been a couple of kidnapping charges. I was recruiting sleepers with the quick try to convert no restraints method and they escaped. Later my leader got beaten on a date with a cop I tried to kidnap and was charged with 2 counts of kidnapping which would have been the two escapees.

My day is made!

Don't forget pepper spray. The police even use unarmed combat sometime. I think a worthwhile upgrade to this would be to use my secondary weapon idea, as I stated in another thread.

[Little]

I've seen a newspaper article on someone being kidnapped, the standard one about them being gone for 7-8 days.

[Jonathan S. Fox]

I don't know the exact circumstances, but there was a bug in 3.17.0 that makes it high probability that any story that does not involve a murder will be suppressed. This is already fixed for the next release.

[Karlito]

Ah, I was wondering why my brainwashed conservatives were going straight to joining the liberal ranks.

Just says the LCS was executed.

[EuchreJack]

When I disbanded the LCS, my sleeper was in the hospital, due out in one week.

She's been there a year, and I don't think she's coming out anytime soon.

Now, how to exploit this bug:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You can promote people so she is their contact.  Then, I essentially have mulitiple founders, since she can't get arrested or killed (as far as I can tell).  I surmise she will only die due to old age.
