Liberal Crime Squad

Liberal Crime Squad is a text-based game created by Bay 12 Games, where you control a squad of characters trying to liberalize the country.

The latest official version, 3.09, contains no unused content. However, a conservative amount of unused content appeared in community-led updates.

Unused Code#

Causing Trouble#

3.09 allowed selecting an amount of money used to cause trouble, up to $500/day. The latest version keeps the menu, but no longer gives access to it (making it a free activity.)

Selecting a Topic#

Function select_view in activate.cpp lets you choose which topic to write about in the Liberal Guardian. The section of code calling this function is commented out.

The file getnames.cpp contains fallback text in the event some field gets corrupted:
