I've made a few changes to the source code (I don't know if they work because I honestly haven't had the time to test them). But I figure that I'd upload them before the next version comes out.

literalka@punjab:~/Desktop/lcs31104diffs$ ls
.   ads.diff       getnames.diff  liberalagenda.diff  news.diff      siege.diff
..  creature.diff  justice.diff   majorevent.diff     politics.diff  talk.diff

I like a lot of these changes, but liberalagenda.diff in particular looks like it's going to cause problems, since you have a switch statement with a lot of unfinished elements.

I couldn't think of anything else, so I just left them blank!

I can get you commit rights to SVN, that's much easier for me than handling patches manually, since I don't have to do any work that way. Let me know what your sourceforge account name is, and I can add you to the project with write access to the SVN repository.

Well, we need something in them; the page won't work if they're blank. Otherwise I'd say leave the expanded switch statement commented out temporarily until it's finished.

Yeah, I was going to do that, but then rushed to upload them instead, thinking that someone would fill in the blanks.

Welcome to the Development Crime Squad, LiteralKa. You should have commit access to SVN now.

Oooh, thanks!

EDIT: I was thinking of something like http://pastebin.com/f52494a8c for personal ad code. Of course, the non-straight ads would go in the Liberal Guardian...
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_advertisement for the acronyms.)

[Jonathan S. Fox]

Sounds good to me. Wouldn't even need to censor them (or prohibit non-straight ads in the mainstream papers) during Conservative times, since they're so jumbly that we could just say they slip by the censors. Of course, if there's a way to emphasize the censorship aspect, it could be funnier to alter them. Maybe the code is there but it's slipped into another ad that doesn't look like a personal ad or something.

Er, I was just reading this news article about how some important conservative judge was shitting on a prostitute, and the conservative judge in question had a female name but was referred to as a man. Er.

Damn CONSERVATIVE Judges.

It's usually funnier to alter them, but in this case, at least for now, I think that non-censored would be fine.

Oh, I think I found one thing that needs to be fixed. When using guitars to convert people, all variations on the police officer cease attacking and can be spoken to. That is, you can convert and attempt to recruit Death Squad Officers, Police Gang Units, and I think Police Negotiators, though at that point you may not need to.

But if you try it against the basic police officer, he keeps beating you with a nightstick.

Stupid CONSERVATIVE logic!

[Jonathan S. Fox]

After becoming Liberal, you mean? If that's the case, then knowing the code, police negotiators will likely start beating you with a nightstick after conversion.  And that's assuming you can target them at all.

[Ampersand]

I said I think for a reason; Every police negotiator I've seen was moderate, and therefore unconvertable. I assumed it was a variant in the same way a death squad officer is. Anyway, the problem is as it stands, it seems the more conservative the police unit, the easier it is to make them stop beating you down.

If anyone still remembers, some time ago I posted suggestions towards a faction-based friend/foe system that would override ideology when it came to fighting, (although attacking anyone who wasn't diametrically opposed to your politics would cause the appropriate level of alienation among the public). The police and the LCS would both constitute their own faction, respectively (this could be displayed by an appropriate symbol after or before a person's name, or it could be invisible to the player), and after visible crimes are committed by the group, the police faction would be flagged hostile (they wouldn't necessarily attack on sight, but if the alarm is raised at a location, everything would play out as it does now). With this method, even moderate police negotiators would show up as valid targets for physical and mental attacks, because they belonged to the hostile police faction for it.

The details of the suggested system are buried in one of the suggestion threads. I can dig it up if there is any demand.

Oh, by the way, it seems that I can switch my founder's gender on his profile screen even if gay rights is only L and not L+.

Is this intended?
