Jimmy Hendricks. So I made him a musician and beat the game.

By the time he was 27 I had only couple of laws non-elite, one being the corporate thing.
I decided to go for the CEO.

Poor Jimmy first got an arm shot off, then took a hit to the chest. Then the rest of the squad clubbed the CEO to submission. The CEO was captured, but Jimmy soon died of blood loss.

Heh, I had a musician called Melissa Hendricks so she had her gender label fixed and became Jimmy :)

She's in the same squad as Nathan Starr, who became Ringo Starr, and Dick Cutlass, who I allowed to keep his own name because come on, his name is Dick Cutlass!

In my current game I have a few interesting names. I recruited a professional thief early on who turned out to be named Conrad Obama- so naturally I codenamed him Comrade Obama. He was a good infiltrator for a while, until I realised that his base stats just weren't quite good enough to get his stealth to the point that he could infiltrate prisons and agency HQs on his own.
So then he trained up two of my other favourite liberals (can't remember their names very well right now, I know one I named Perez Del Toro and the other was Felicity Irving or somesuch) in the arts of stealth, which they became true masters at, and then he died in a failed raid on the prison. RIP, Comrade Obama. You fought well.

Also amusing was two apartment buildings in the Downtown area: The Clay apartments and the Stone apartments. I like to think they were right next to each other. Maybe on either side of a landscape supply depot.

Post by: Jonathan S. Fox on April 27, 2013, 03:34:08 pm
The name generator in LCS draws on a large and diverse list of names, each included for one or more of several reasons:

1. Names common in the US, to make it familiar.
2. Names rare in the US, to make it exotic.
3. Names with distinctive cultural connotations, to make it diverse.
4. Names of famous or infamous people, to make it funny.
5. Names that are just kind of cool or badass, to make it awesome.

Obviously this pretty much includes every possible name except random garbage nonsense, which is one of the strengths of the generator. But intentionally including all of these ensures that they all come up as it generates more names. A less intentional name list would mostly just have familiar names, maybe a few famous people, or a few culturally diverse names. LCS intentionally feels like it's a real grab bag from any name you might see in the US, including new names you've probably never heard before but can easily believe are real.

I've always thought it would neat if names would be weighed differently depending on the immigration issue.

When immigration laws are conservative, European names like John Smith would be more common, while liberal immigration policies would lead to the player seeing more diversified names like Akira Santiago.

And once gay or women's rights got liberal enough the gender lines would become more blurred, and some characters would have names from the other gender's list.

Ach, both of those are German names, Mein Freünd. Have you heard of the Zimmermann Telegram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmermann_Telegram)? That was back in 1917 düring World War I when the German Empire (a.k.a. the 2nd Reich, ünter Kaiser Vilhelm) had Reichsminister für Foreign Affairs, Herr Arthur Zimmermann, send ein telegram to La Republica de Viva La México, ze country south of ze Ünited $tates of América. Ein zis telegram, ze Deütschen Volken promised la gente de México that México would get back all of ze territories they lost to the Ünited $tates in the past, such as California, Texas, Arizona, El Estado de Nuevo México, etc., in return for fighting on the side of ze Imperium Germanum in World War Ein. Ünfortunately for ze Deütschen Volken, La Republica de Viva La México not only refused zis generous offer, but ze Ünited $tates intercepted the telegram and President Woodrow Wilson used it as a pretext to declare war on Deütschland, and soon the mighty Ü$ military crushed Deütschland and made them sign Le Treaty de Versailles in France, a humiliating defeat for Germany that ultimately resulted in the rise of Adolph Hitler in the 1930s. So historically speaking Adolph and Herr Zimmermann are closely connected, as it was Zimmerman's fault that Adolph later rose to power. If he hadn't sent the telegram to Mexico, the U.S. would have stayed out of the war, and the Treaty of Versailles wouldn't have happened, which would have meant Hitler's rise to power wouldn't have happened.

In my latest game, the Arch-Conservative President of the United States that I'm stuck with for the first 4 years is named... guess what... Bill Clinton! I never knew Slick Willy was an Arch-Conservative! I guess that explains why he declared "the era of big government is over", did welfare reform, deregulated the banking sector, made them install "V-chips" in TVs for censorship, balanced the budget by cutting spending that helps the poor and needy, bombed innocent civilians in several nations such as Serbia, Sudan, and Iraq (he even bombed the Chinese embassy in Serbia which really pissed off the Chinese), and took a number of other Conservative actions. But still... I always thought the dude was a Liberal... maybe not THAT Liberal, but I thought he was left of center. I mean, he could play the saxophone, and he had an affair with Monica Lewinsky. Those are both Liberal actions... one requires Music skill and the other Seduction. I always thought Bill Clinton had a lot of Heart ("I feel your pain") but not too much Wisdom (getting caught in that affair with Monica). But I wouldn't consider Bubba an L+ Liberal Elite... after all he was a former Arkansas governor who presided over the execution of a mentally retarded African-American man, there was that whole Sistah Souljah moment, and he was basically an inbred redneck from southern Appalachia with a good-for-nothing drug addict brother, Roger Clinton, who Bill had to pardon. Plus he's married to Hillary Clinton, the American version of Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady.

Anyway it was just really funny getting Bill Clinton as the Arch-Conservative C+ president I started out with. Of course the real Bill Clinton took office in 1993, not 2009, but other than that, the game seems to be a pretty accurate depiction of reality so far. :o

You're right, that was a mistake by the CIA under Bill Clinton. Just like when George Bush Sr. vomited on the Japanese Prime Minister and George W. Bush choked on a pretzel, those weren't on purpose either, nor was that time George W. Bush was visiting China and tried to leave a room and the doors were locked and there was this funny video of him trying to escape. But when Ronald Reagan said, "My fellow Americans, I have signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in 5 minutes," that WAS on purpose, plus there was all the funny business with Nancy Reagan consulting psychics for advice. Jimmy Carter's whole handling of Iran was one big joke. Bill Clinton got into so many humorous escapades I don't even know where to start, the Lewinsky thing is just the tip of the iceberg. And when Barack Obama had that Jeremiah Wright controversy in the 2008 campaign and Obama had to give a speech to distance himself from his pastor, that was kinda funny, although Barack Obama is a lot harder than most politicians to parody, there just isn't as much comic material to make fun of in Obama, especially compared to George W. Bush or Bill Clinton, who were both comedy gold mines, easiest guys to parody in the world. But Joe Biden, he does funny stuff all the time, The Onion has a long list of it here (http://www.theonion.com/topics/joe-biden/).
