Granted this is an indie community and thus various workarounds and homebrew are pretty much accepted, is it really fair to say the PSP is good because outside people broke into it and made it better? From what I've seen on here its pretty much Homebrew(PSP) vs. Games(DS).

Question by question

Any negative attention makes the person dislike their captor. Switching captors is a key stratagem.

Sleepers are innately hard to get. Beat them and lower their wisdom to 1 with no food, no sleep, no light, then bring in a high skilled, high heart, high charisma interogater to release them, feed them, and attempt to convert. Make sure both people are skilled but give the second step to the higher heart liberal.

Bring a gun. A .45 guarantees kidnap success as far as I can tell.

Yes the liberal and his/her date go away for a week. Its not as bad as it sounds especially if its the founder and you know a raid is coming.

An escaped hostage is pretty much an instant raid. It might take 2 or 3 days but you will get raided. No, hostages don't move with the rest of your people, so either kill him off or let the safe house get raided and keep your people moving.

If you keep moving between safe houses, eventually the heat goes away. You can also do community service but I think there is a chance of arrest during that.

I think that is a bug. Your getting blamed for conservative crime so maybe not.

Check the wiki.

Number one: You need to knock out the CCS. They are very adept at making the country conservative once they are active.

Number two: AM radio and Cable News need to be constantly shut down, preferably whilst giving the best hour of news and radio ever.

Number three: To convert, crush their spirit with total deprivation for several days then bring in mister nice guy to finish up with straight up conversion.

Considering said friend has a penchant for following popups into the deepest recesses of the internet with a non updated copy of Norton, Windows is pretty much out of the picture. So I have to hope the company has a linux driver for the USB drive I got or run it wired. No biggie.

Ok so I need to get online to get the drivers for it. Ok that shouldn't be hard.

Edit: I need WINE to run exe's right?

I have recently installed Linux Ubuntu on a friends laptop but I can't get his wireless usb modem installed. When I try to run the install disk it says it can't run any files with the .exe extension. Anyone know how to fix that?

I'm starting to get pissed too. Truthfully I expect to get banned for my comment in Ealb's article regarding dogs and shooting them.

The dump and overused gimmick console and handheld? Granted there are too many games that are continuing to focus on the stylus for the DS but the better games, Advance Wars, Castlevania, Kirby Superstar, all use the stylus as a optional tool rather then make you use it. As for the Wii, Super Smash Brothers.

Edit: The reason for all the overused gimmicks on the DS is because they sell. Warioware sold bundles so every other company rushed to put out clones of Warioware. Cooking Mama was very popular, so every company made a cooking sim for it.

There is the problem that the "native" producers in brazil are run like the TNT businesses, government subsidized. I don't know that we could undercut them enough after taxes to make up for it. Now a trickier method we could use is to start a newspaper there and sell person to person. Could be a fun thing to try and would allow us to half our price compared to using the export license.

That is the other problem. I'm not even sure if you have to move to a country in order to buy products from it. Its possible to view other countries marketplaces, maybe its possible to buy straight from there. Have to ask that Neerland SO about it.

How about just allowing access to the full skill screen from the review page. It would list name juice and stats across the top and the rest would be dedicated to skills. To access it use shift+letter. So to get the normal profile of a liberal for  lets say your founder you would press a. To get his full skill list you would press A. Paging through would be the same keys as it normally is.

That is true. Shame printing money is so expensive. We're losing our one advantage in the market place by the free 200 gold every month plus hard worker medals.

He is somewhat forcing it down though by refusing high priced offers.

Upgrade the black markets and magic shops and that ring guy in noyel. Blacksmiths don't get significantly better as ranks go up as with general and good stores. However at high ranks you can get high level monster balls. Also going to the dwarf shop with unlimited small medals can net you rods of dominance which can get you a massive army with decent use magic device skill.
