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.
