You have to #chat them when they're adjacent to you.

"Do you want to hear something disturbing?"
Police Officer responds,
"What?"
Mao says,
"The police regularly torture minority suspects during interrogations."
Police Officer responds,
"That *is* disturbing! What can I do?"
It's even more fun deep inside the police station with a squad carrying AK-47s and wearing army body armor bloody from the last raid.

« on: June 10, 2008, 03:49:00 am »1) A wheelchair issue (I'm still playing the "new interrogation" version...alpha8 is it? And haven't d/l'ed the latest yet)...if the country is predominantly conservative still, few if any locations should be wheelchair accessible.
2) I think one thing LCS really needs, I haven't noticed much recent discussion of it, besides aging justices, is more direct political activism. It doesn't even require politicians to become more than just a name. Assassinations, bribes, and any other interaction is just an event.
3) I could really use an improved interface on view active liberals. Being able to reorder the list would be helpful, as would searching or sorting by attributes/skills. When I do the stupid little projects I like to do, like maxing the rifle skill of all my 25 agi liberals, which currently numbers ~15. It's really tedious to first scroll through them from the stat view, note the name, and then find the guy again on 30 pages full of Diwakers.
4) I know a rigid hierarchy is too conservative, but the ability to appoint a few officers would be nice, e.g. a lieutenant who could easily step in as interim or replacement leader without everyone losing touch if the leader is arrested or killed.
5) Has anything been done to differentiate disguise from stealth? They both only seem to be used when entering a location and not when leaving. It would make more sense if you used disguise on the way to, say, the AM radio station studio, and stealth to avoid encounters on the way out. (assuming you're afraid of pitchforks...speaking of which, I live in Texas and know a lot of rednecks... every single one has at least a few guns and no pitchfork).
And one question...does the wheelchair thing mean limbs are getting blown off again? I used to love having lots of maimed liberals running around, but in the version I'm currently still playing, all of the 500+ LCS members in my current game have all of their limbs, though a very large number have had noses blown off, and several have had their faces blown off, including my poor leader, Mao.
