Two words: Margret Thatcher. Though in general I'd agree.

Penguin: you need to get a copy of configfile.txt. With that in place, the most recent executable (from the above link) works fine.

I do like the new recruitment process, but I think it may be making it a bit too easy to train persuasion, and to make matters worse, by training up persuasion, the new recruitment process allows you to have a single slick huckster of a donation collector finance, well, all your operations. As of now, you can just go and string along 5-30 recruits at once (or 4-8 lawyers/socialites), make them come back for a day or two, and then burn them all for a pile of cash. With fairly low effort, a single "collector" can be pulling in well over $1000/day, and to the best of my knowledge, this is "safe" income.

I'm not sure this is entirely bad (it's like we get our very own Liberal Televangelist), but it does seem a bit out of whack.

Recruiting props are listing as "dating" expenses currently on the monthly report.

If it's not too hard programming-wise, I'd think that "mis-aligning" sex and gender in public should arouse conservative suspicion (and/or add another crime to your rap sheet) if the political climate is bad enough. Same would go for hitting on same-sex/gender targets in the company of conservatives (or perhaps moderates too if the climate was really sour).

DF General Discussion / Re: What has dwarf fortress taught us?

I learned that capitalist economics is, in fact, the root of all discord, misery, and strife, and that Dwarf shall never be free until the last King is strangled with the ☼Dwarf Leather Thong☼ made from the entrails of the last Tax Collector.
