Yup.

[beorn080]

Other then spamming seduce and being incredibly sore in the morning, is it just a sign of how good you are?

[Cosmonot]

There should probably be a limit on how many people you can interview and seduce per day.

[Virroken]

You've failed the LCS. Give me five pints of juice.

[Jetman123]

I think you tried to go on a date with half the police force right there.

[muwahahaha]

Heh, lets play a game of 'spot the college student', cookie to whoever finds it first!

In my opinion, we shouldnt limit how many people you can seduce per infiltration, rather, I think that the severity of a date ambush should increase with the more people you go out with. In this example I could see a situation where the liberal is either arrested (if they had any outstanding crimes) or are beaten up/interrogated or something like that.

There is a Priest too.

[Jonathan S. Fox]

Did you get away with that?

[Karlito]

I do stuff like that all the time.  It seems that being caught dating multiple people has about a 50% chance of occurring, no matter how many people you date.

[beorn080]

Should dating penalties be changed since its now a fairly easy way to get sleepers? It just seems like a couple of points of juice doesn't really make a difference especially at 0 juice since a couple days of community service gets it back to zero.

[Jonathan S. Fox]

I don't know, I think it would only give you incentive to date fewer people at once. Time in LCS isn't an infinite resource, but it's very plentiful.

[Yanlin]

Damn. Yo a playa.

[mainiac]

So, you invite the entire precinct over for an orgy and while they're tied up your comrades toilet paper the station?

[God of Toast]

I didn't get away with it, I think the 3rd one in was leaking info the entire time.

Also, there's a priest and a janitor in there too.

My main reason for wanting a limit isn't to balance seduction or issues-based recruitment; it's just that the lack of a limit produces an incentive to mass-recruit/seduce people like in the OP's image, which is really boring. Introducing a limit would make this tactic impossible, and also make recruiting slower if you ever are in a time-sensitive situation for whatever reason.

Implementing a limit would be as simple as setting a max number of dates/interviews per day (such as 1+Liberal Rank+3 if he's the founder), and having the game display a notification (similarly to the current "Police Officer won't talk to you" message when you fail a roll) along the lines of "Liberal Ted doesn't have time for another meeting/date" if you've hit that limit.
