Need Help on "Badliner" Achievement

[Osiris11235]

I'm stuck on getting the Badliner (lose your job) achievement. Any itps?

Those come with really bad ratings. Pay attention to what your Liaison is telling you to do about the purist/modded debate, and do the opposite. Immigration might have some effect too...

I finally was able to get this achievement.

If you still need it to get it, try to stay neutral to everything.
So basically, you want to make sure you get the same amount of pro-mod and pro-purist articles. Reject any other article possible. If you have to (as some days will force you to do a certain amount), use any festival or police force (such as stop drones) before the war/refugee conflict articles. It's easiest to keep a list of which side you picked as you go on so you make sure that you stay balanced.
If you still need help, let me know, and I'll post the steps I used.

hehe nice guys, unraveling my math ;D

I've been working on this for a while but the worst I've managed is to not get promoted, rather than getting fired. What am I missing?

[Lacy]

I am currently working on an achievement guide, I'm just working out a couple details, and I need to finish figuring out one more achievement and I'll post it. When I get home, I can give you the steps on how to gain badliner if you don't figure it out by that time~

Oh cool, thanks a lot!

[Lacy]

ok, I'm home! If anyone is having any issues with the achievement still, here are the steps:

Day 1: Purists An Economic Burden? + Reject rest
Day 2: Purist Workers Benefit Businesses, Modified Rights at Risk! + Reject rest
Day 3: Boycott Modified Sandwiches!, No Need for Alarm, Learis Refugees Need an Asylum + Reject rest
Day 4: Galaxia Welcomes Learis Refugees, Vandalism Shows Need for More Security, Say YES to Subsidized Modification + Reject 4th article
Day 5: Free Modification for Learis Refugees + Reject rest
Day 6: Funding for Education (You could do Healthcare, it shouldn't matter), The Night before the Festival, Stop the Damn Drones! + Reject rest
Day 7: Reject them all
Day 8: Reject them all (although it shouldn't matter if you don't at this point)

Dialogue with your family doesn't matter, so you can just go through that as quickly as you'd like.

That worked, thanks again!

[Osiris11235]

I just got it. Thanks @Lacie!

I have a really easy method. I wasn't even trying to get fired, I just wanted to see what would happen. Do this: ONLY approve articles where the headline ends in an exclamation point. When you HAVE to approve one that doesn't, just choose whichever is the most inflammatory, regardless of spin. This actually results in pretty good family and social outcomes, too.

[Koobazaur]

"Approve by Exclamation" haha I love that xD

^FYI If you do this it also gave me the safe haven achievement (I may have done something different on Day 8, so if you don't get Safe Haven when you exit the news tower restart that day).

Following this guide will also get your the Peacemaker achievement!
