Liberal Crime Squad/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crosses the Line Twice: LCS attempts to satirize terrorism, to the point of inserting humorous elements into the torture-and-brainwash minigame.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny:
    • Alex shouts the Liberal battlecry!
    • "We need a slogan!"
    • Police Officer gets out of there!
    • Security Guard has a family!
  • Demonic Spiders: Any firearm wielding (and likely armored) Conservative can, if the RNG is particularly unkind, instantly kill one of your Liberals. Possibly worse are the Arch-Conservatives, who attack psychologically rather than physically. Their psych attacks are not only very difficult to resist, but can take hundreds of juice away from a liberal and leave them unable to attack should one succeed. If your Liberal hits below -50 Juice due to this? They become a Conservative themselves. Generally, your only option against them is to run. Finally, the Conservative Crime Squad will never let up their attack efforts once they discover your safehouses, continuing monthly sieges until either the LCS or CCS is destroyed.
  • Game Breaker: If one is hauling a liberal, they can threaten them as a hostage. This would be glaring enough, but cops-- who usually take the hostage away in exchange for (temporary) freedom-- will also go in for this, but with your "hostage" remaining with you. You can use this to get out of nearly any high-security area without trouble.
    • Seducting agents. They start with more than 100 juice (if they were not kidnapped), enough to recruit 3 more sleepers. Statistically, at least one of these sleepers will be another agent. Who will also be able to recruit 3 more sleepers, including at least one agent, who will be able to recruit 3 more sleepers, including at least one agent, who will be able te recruit 3 more sleepers, including at least one agent, who will be able to...
      • Reporters and similar news agents were this as sleepers in old builds of the game; getting a few news-oriented sleepers was almost an Instant Win Condition. They've been severely nerfed in more recent builds.
  • Nausea Fuel and Nightmare Fuel: The combat descriptions go for this with gusto.
