Actual Pro's Guide:
Don't sell brownies for extended amounts of time in the beginning, pick up art or guitar, as brownie charges will rise the more you escape, and in the beginning could be enough to get you sentanced to death.
Money means very little.
Kidnapping relies on getting a hostages heart above his wisdom, meaning a guy with a high heart stat usually doesn't even have to torture or starve someone, just talk to them for a few days.
Dancers and Athletes and Yoga Instructors are the best melee recruits in the game
Martial Arts is incredibly useful and super easy to train, and when training it up can give you an incredible amount of juice. Make unclaimed visits to the crackhouse every day, kill a conservative near the door, by holding s and moving around (Near the door. I'd say 3 tiles max away) to find conservative swine to practice your justice punches on. Killing a conservative is 10 juice, attacking them is 3.
Getting a sleeper lawyer can save you tremendous amounts of money
Get a few 4 or 5 level sleepers to slip you secret documents and publish them in the liberal guardian near election time. They create temporary fervors. (I've gotten a lib prez elected during arch conservative times because every month for a year leading up the election I published secrets.)
Don't try and kidnap CEO's or Agents unless you have a ridiculous amount of heart and psychology, as they will appear in papers much sooner.
As your liberal gets older, he gains more wisdom.
Always have a back-up leader who lives in an apartment and does NOTHING illegal with 100+ juice. If your founder kicks the bucket, you will have to start from scratch with no sleepers, and no recruits, but at least you haven't lost your progress.
If you befriend enough people in the crack house, you can use it as a safe house with a relatively high level of anonymity.
Don't run from the police unless you're SURE you can outrun them. They will blow your face off for graffiti.
Stock up on guns and spread them around several apartments or safehouses when the government is most conservative. Similarily, check for firefighters during an arch conservative government, as they have flamethrowers, and roam the streets for death squads, as their costumes give huge bonuses to interrogations.
Seduction works as well as persuasion, if used correctly.
Use people who are only useful as sleepers (CEO's, corporate managers, etc.) as brownie runners, when they are caught, make them run to get them shot. It's a cheap (and usually a profitable) way to get rid of an unneeded work force.
Molotovs slap extra arson charges on to your record. Those can sometimes mean the difference between not guilty and 200 years in prison.
Kidnap from the latte stand and the park, as you can stand near exits and scout for high level conservatives to swipe.
Sometimes, an unloaded gun can get you out of the most dangerous situation. (<k>idnap someone, <t>alk to the enemies, threaten hostage.)
Don't attempt to speed through obstacles unless you have a high driving skill. Seriously, it's like the most anticlimactic way to die.
Thanks to the above gentlemen, I have succeeded in forging a country which I am proud to say is moderately liberal. Nothing in purple nor red, and only a few yellow.

I usually get the people really liberal right as the corporation deathsquads figure out where my leader, (not the meat of my forces) is hiding
then I lose all sleepers when they kill him, which forces me to train another guy in psychology, which makes the fuckin' CCS form.
Thanks for warning me, my entire fort was completely fucked.

if worst comes to worst cut your ties and disband for a while
This game is amazing.
[QUOTE=Otamagoat;16994168]You can make sleepers by recruiting someone, and choose to make them one instead of a regular member. Other than that I don't know[/QUOTE]
How do you do this?
[QUOTE=scout2;17001694]How do you do this?[/QUOTE]
When you ask someone to join the LCS it should give you an option to either make them a sleeper or make them a full member
What's a good way to raise Persuade?
I was so addicted to this a few months ago. :buddy:
One of my strategies was to recruit some liberal prostitutes (they have a high seduction skill) and make them act like pimps and get a bunch of love slaves. The problem with this was that if the pimp (or pimpette) was lost, you'd lose a shitload of members or sleepers.

Got owned by some security guards for broadcasting on the radio. :c00l:
I just got arrested after I shut down the Nuclear Power Plant.
I was sentenced to death.
What does it mean when a skill is at 0.99+?

Oh, I see, it means you have to go back to a safehouse before you can raise it higher. :P
Let's post every GAME OVER you get, when I die I'll post it :)

Exactly what this thread needs.
How are you supposed to get above 50? I can't get it past there..
I just started playing last night. This game is fucking incredible.
Wait is this game about stopping crime or doing crime
[editline]01:47PM[/editline]
Nevermind, obviously about doingcrime. Awesome. I took a janitor hostage, [b]and a prostitute and teenager mistakenly beat him up while i was holding him hostage[/b] LOL
Try it. The point is to convert conservatives into liberals, using any means necessary. It's really cool.

I've had a teen hostage and a cop blow his head off with an ak47 :haw:
I still have yet to take anyone hostage. For now I shall play street guitar and save up for a firearm. I'm playing as a agile theif type character. We'll see how this goes.
This game seems very fun. I was a HUGE fan of dwarf fortress. How can I get other crew members, though? And what are hostages good for? Also I just failed at stealing a red pickup but it was awesome. Lost them pigs
[editline]01:54PM[/editline]
FUCK YESL IKE NINJA
I just hotwired a black pickup truck all ninja like.
[editline]01:54PM[/editline]

Naturally. :P
ROFL.
Nick beats the automatron.

You take conservative scum hostage and convert them to liberals and make them fight for you.
Ah I see, you gotta take hostages and convert for new members?

Yep. I blew off a teen's arm with an ak47 now he's a revolver carrying badass next to me in all of my robberies.
