Ticket on its way...

(As to the prices, don't ask. The Moving Ticket market seems to set its prices randomly...)

Eep! Any B12 people who aren't already standing for Congress, please stand in Central Thailand. We currently have 0 people standing there, and we'll certainly have voters there (no matter how hard I might try to re-distribute them elsewhere).

Actually, what I'd like to see Liberal (or Moderate) cops in L+ society do is damage juice until it hits zero, at which point the target doesn't convert, they surrender. The problem is, since this is in a firefight, the LCS might very well kill all the police, so it would be bad if the surrendered LCS members vanished immediately to jail. It'd be more programming to implement, but if they could be be "stunned" either until combat ends (i.e., they're restrained upon surrendering) or for X rounds (after which time, should the fight still be going, they figure the cops are losing, so sweet talking mediator or no, they're going to start fighting back again (until and unless the mediator "restrains" them once more)). Or I suppose the mediator who "talked them down" could vanish out of combat with them, much as tackling cops do in a footchase.

(People with 0 Juice should surrender to L+ police upon being politely asked to, as they haven't been instilled with enough Liberal revolutionary values to buck the L+ social norms. This whole discussion makes me think of the scene in Demolition Man where the futuristic police first attempt to recapture Wesley Snipes' character...)

Sabai is not corrupt. TNT is the only party that has exhibited active corruption; the other parties all formed a coalition to oust them. Sabai has also shown a great deal of willingness to listen to other parties and work with them, up to and including having 1/3 or 1/2 of government ministers in a Sabai government coming from non-Sabai parties.

Incidentally: if you want to run for Congress, nominate yourself on the party page. TNT is running 3 candidates in every region expect the South, where they have 5. We're mostly centered in Central and Northeast at the moment. Sabai is going to have an ugly fight on its hands in the South, as they're fielding 7 against TNT's 5. I would like to see one or two people contest in the North, as Cavalcanti ha planned to organize that region but went back to Brazil when the war was declared. We currently have no candidates there. I'm not sure any party but TNT does, in fact. If someone wants to move there and contest but can't afford a Moving Ticket, send me a PM in eRep, and I can send you one.

I'm going to sit down tonight and try to figure out exactly how many voters are where, and maybe do some last-minute shuffling accordingly. Ugh. </3 the new Congressional system.

• An Elite Liberal (1,000 juice) can be "rehabilitated and freed" if you give up during a siege. Fix this?

Juice or no juice, the brainwashed are always vulnerable to being rehabilitated. This just means you can't ever have your B/W'd surrender. I'd hope this doesn't change.

Aye, I meant to bring up bulk in my above suggestion. D'oh! I'd largely agree with what you outline. In a perfect world I'd still prefer to see some notion that some outfits are more or less conspicuous with bulky junk; people with dollies in work clothes in an apartment building aren't going to be as conspicuous as people in expensive dresses with dollies in... well... pretty much anywhere. Also, location should matter; a hand truck is going to stand out in a gentleman's club regardless of what's on it, while in a factory I'd expect its conspicuousness to be more tied to its (presumably concealed) contents.

But that's in a perfect world. I'd be quite pleased to just see a bulk penalty added (which presumably would also affect how hard it is to get something out; if you're resorting to carts and bags, you're not going to be able to instantly get out that AK 47, but you should have no problem whipping out the knife you tucked into your boot).
