World of Presidencraft Patch Notes

Found this on Maintankadin, I laughed, Though maybe other people could find the humor in it. I'm sorry if people don't like it. I'm not trying to start a debate about politics. Just posting something funny.

US Democracy Server: Patch Day

Version 44.01.
09


President

* Leadership: Will now scale properly to national crises. Intelligence was not being properly applied.

* A bug has been fixed that allowed the President to ignore the effects of debuffs applied by the Legislative classes.

* Drain Treasury: There appears to be a bug that allowed loot to be transferred from the treasury to anyone on the President's friends list, or in the President's party. We are investigating.

* Messages to and from the President will now be correctly saved to the chat log.

* Messages originating from the President were being misclassified as originating from The American People.

* A rendering error that frequently caused the President to appear wrapped in the American Flag texture has been addressed.


Vice President

* The Vice President has been correctly reclassified as a pet.

* No longer immune to damage from the Legislative and Judicial classes.

* The Vice President will no longer aggro on friendly targets. This bug was identified with Ranged Attacks and the Head Shot ability.

* Reveal Identity: this debuff will no longer be able to target Covert Operatives.

* Messages to and from the Vice President will now be correctly saved to the chat log.

* A rendering bug was affecting the Vice President's visibility, making him virtually invisible to the rest of the server. This has been addressed.


Cabinet

* There was a bug in the last release that prevented the Cabinet from disagreeing with the President, which was the cause of a number of serious balance issues. This bug has been addressed, and we will continue to monitor the situation.


Judiciary

* Many concerns have been raised regarding balance issues in the Supreme Court. This system is maintained on a different patch schedule, and will require longer to address.

* A large number of NPCs in the Judiciary were incorrectly flagged "ideological." We are trying to identify these cases and rectify this situation.


Homeland Security

* Homeland Security Advisory System: We have identified a bug in this system that prevents the threat level from dropping below Elevated (Yellow). The code for Guarded (Blue) and Low (Green) has been commented out. We are testing the fix and hope to have it in by the next patch.

* Torture: This debuff is being removed after a record number of complaints.

* Item: Large Bottle of Water is incorrectly generating threat with TSA Agents when held in inventory. We are looking into the issue.

* Asking questions about Homeland Security was incorrectly triggering the Chain-Jingoism debuff.


Economy

* Serious on-going issues with server economy are still being addressed. We expect further roll-backs, and appreciate your help identifying and fixing bugs. We can't make these fixes without your help.


PVP

* Reputation with various factions are being rebalanced. The gradated reputation scale was erroneously being overwritten by the binary For Us/ Against Us flag.


Quests

* The" Desert Storm" quest chain was displaying an erroneous "Mission Accomplished" message near the beginning of the chain.

* The quest chain that begins with "There's no Cake like Yellow Cake" and terminates with "W-M-Denied" has been identified as uncompletable, and has been removed.


Reagents

* Many recipes that currently call for Crude Oil can now be made with Wind, Solar, Geothermal and Ethanol reagents. We hope to roll out even more sweeping changes in the next patch.


Events

* The "Axis of Evil" event is drawing to a close. Look forward to the "Rebuilding Bridges" event starting in January.

Very clever:)

Thanks! I enjoyed that.

If they are going to tell a joke, they ought to freaking get it right. Desert Storm was indeed mission accomplished. Operation Iraqi Freedom, on the other hand, is still a work in progress.

I appreciate the attempt. The VP head shot line made me grin.

Since when do liberal comedians let little things like facts and the truth get in the way?

:P

March 4th, 1604, at the stroke of noon?

... especially in material about a Bush administration that didn't let facts and the truth get in the way?

I'd say 2004.

Hmm, if you classify anti-Bush material as "liberal" you haven't been listening for the past couple years, you're still living somewhere between 2003 and 2005.

I should think the date November 4th, 2008 is a pretty indicator that anti-Bush and "liberal" are different -- unless you qualify this country as being mostly liberal, which doesn't make sense.

Besides, I thought that the common definition of liberal included "lacks sense of humor". At least, that's part of the cartoon. Oops, I guess it's me living in the past -- now that John Stewart is here (thank God!) that part of the cartoon has had to be redrawn.

You may want to check out the "Obama Jokes" thread in this forum and see how a "conservative comedian" treats facts and truth. Then again, if you're only watching Fox News and forwarding political "joke" emails to yer buds, you might not even notice any distortions there.

For the record, this liberal saw the Operation error too. Though it may have been meant -- some of the anti-Bush supermajority think that OIF was just an attempt to "finish" ODS by certain people who were in both Bush administrations. But since they said "mission accomplished... near the beginning of the chain", Tuco agrees with AngelEyes on this one - they got it wrong.

ps. I don't really consider myself a liberal, other people do -- I am a conservationist, more conservative than conservatives!

The Dixie Chicks were right... but so was Ralph Nader.

I'm not sure that big government "Conservatives" can be considered conservative. With all the bailouts this last year, my mouth is on the floor, eyes are agog at how "LIBERAL" these conservatives are being. I fear that with the X trillions in bailout money this Congress, GWB and Henry Paulsen have undone the conservatism of every administration back to Reagan, including that of Clinton. I think we need to call the GWB Republicans something else, and many names do come to mind.

The funny part? What you mean by ALL-CAPS-LIBERAL is "state socialist," which is the opposite of the classical concept of a liberal.

Yes, but that is how it's used in the USA (LIBERAL = Social Liberal or Progressive), and we don't really use the metric system either. I guess we might call the Bush-ites, Republican Socialists then.
