My not-so-extensive wiki search yielded nothing.

I would like a full list of all the issues and how to affect them.

Spoiler: Interpreting the Poll Questions (click to show/hide)

Anyone who does not listen to AM Radio and Cable News will listen to "FM Radio" and "Network News". Basically, if more people listen to Conservative media, the issues will sway more Conservative, causing a positive-feedback loop that will create a Conservative dystopia!

Spoiler: "Power" of LCS Raids" (click to show/hide)

This next spoiler details how you are able to affect the issues. If you get in the Newspaper, you gain an status known as "Power", which is dependant upon how famous you are in the news and what crimes you committed. The more Power you accumlate during a Raid, the more effective your action will be. Note that the game will only count 10 of the same Crime during each individual Raid.

Note that if you alienate the Site, the Power goes NEGATIVE, so you sway society more Conservative.

Spoiler: Liberal Guardian 'Special Editions' (click to show/hide)

Publishing a "Special Edition" will offend the Organization in question, making them more likely to deploy units to attack you. It seems that if you just publish the Special Edition once, they will be offended FOREVER, and nothing you can do will change that. Publishing extra issues will not make them any more offended though.

Corporations will try to raid locations with high Heat.

The Firemen will only attack if Freedom of Speech is at Arch-Conservative, so you usually won't have to worry about them. Plus, the Firemen are cool. They only attack if you violate Free Speech laws. If they raid the safehouse and destroy your printing press, they'll no longer be offended.

Hm. It seems pretty easy for me to read in code (and I don't know code that much), but I can't seem to transalte it without losing a lot of valuable information in the process.

Hm...let me think about how best to summarize it.

[mainiac]

Why is graffitti struck through?

[Servant Corps]

The code often times uses tags such as and , and so the php software is interpreting that as "MUST STRIKE THROUGH!".

Guess I could just use the code tag to avoid this sort of problem...

[Yanlin]

use code tags.

Code: [Select]

[code]

[Servant Corps]

Code tags have been added to Graffiti and "Liberal Guardian Coverage of LCS Raids".

[Jonathan S. Fox]

It's good to use code tags any time you're quoting source code. Not only does it strip out mishandling of unintentional tags, but source code is generally meant to be read in monospace font and comments or multiline statements are often clearer that way. Just in the first post, "The Issues" and "Power of LCS Raids" both have slightly messed up spacing because they're not monospace, for example, while "Sleeper Promoting Liberalism" has multiple points where the code is incomplete because indexing into a vector or array with i was mistaken for an italics tag. In addition, code tags will shrink the font and ensure there's no word wrap by making the box scroll to the right. This is annoying for prose, but it's great for source code, as word wrap in source code degrades its readability by obscuring the indentation levels.

[Yanlin]

Sigh. Looks like I'm not getting it in plain easy to read form. I'll try reading the comments.

Edit: That didn't help a whole lot. I'm still confused.

Please, can I just get a clean list of every issue and how to affect it? Sort of like this:

Gay rights: Do X, Y and Z.

[Jonathan S. Fox]

Issues and the sites to attack to affect them:

Animal Research: Cosmetics Lab
Genetic Research: Genetics Lab
Police Regulation: Police Station
Death Penalty: Courthouse, Prisons
Justices: Courthouse
Free Speech: Courthouse
Abortion: Courthouse
Gay Rights: Courthouse
Prisons: Prison
Privacy: Intelligence HQ
Labor Laws: Sweatshops
Pollution: Other industrial sites
Nuclear Power: Nuclear Reactor
Taxes: Corporate HQ, CEO House, Downtown Apartment, Gentleman's Club
Corporate Culture: Corporate HQ
CEO Salary: CEO House, Downtown Apartment, Gentleman's Club
AM Radio: AM Radio Station
Cable News: Cable TV Station

[Yanlin]

Hooray. Thanks Fox.

[mainiac]

Doesn't attacking the court house only affect Gay Rights and Abortion if you talk to the jury about those issues?

If so, I think Gentleman's Club needs to affect Gay Rights and Abortion a lot and Taxes, Corporate Culture and Ceo Salaries a lot less.  For one thing, there's less to influence these issues.  But also, the Gentleman's Club is more a manifestation of conservative notions about sexuality then conservative economics.
