I am now asking you guys to change your pols current jobs

I thought that I replied earlier, but I guess that I forgot. 😅. Anyway, I've got all of mine updated, I think.

Yeah, I nominated Kleindienst for FBI Director.  To make things quicker, I’ll also just note here that the requirements for the five alternatives are-

-At least 3 Admin
-Justice expertise
-Must be Red Party (three Blue pols have already been nominated and confirmed to other positions)

Okay, thank you Largo!

Committee votes (Before Shenanigans):

• All Military Nominees (yes I did a group) pass 20-0
• James Baker passes 23-0
• Samuel Pierce passes 22-3
• Richard Kleindienst fails 12-13

3 of 0ccult's senators vote against Kleindienst (have integrity).

No harmonious senators were in committees that would have changed the outcome.

No disharmonious senators fire

Puritans vote against nominees (none match their ideology)

Everyman votes against egghead nominee.

Predictable not included

Passive not included

• All Military Nominees (yes I did a group) pass 20-0
• James Baker passes 22-1
• Samuel Pierce passes 22-3
• Richard Kleindienst fails 8-17

@LainKino to name five alternative options for Attorney General. 
 

Rn I'm running with a 20% to gain integrity if a senator votes down a controversial nominee. Those senators are:

• Joseph Montoya
• Alan Bible
• Thomas Eagleton
• John C Stennis
• Adlai Stevenson III

Wait, shouldn't it be FBI Director that I need to name alt options for instead? Kleindienst failed the vote but he was nominated for FBI Director whereas Samuel Pierce was nominated for Attorney General and passed the vote...unless I read things wrong.

Okay, so it definitely looks like I pissed off the RNG gods now. 😅

Democratic Party Leader election, 1972.

@LainKino Ted Kennedy vs @10centjimmy John Glenn. 

Kennedy: 6 (kingmakers) + 2 = 8
Glenn: 3 (kingmakers) + 6 = 9

JOHN GLENN is elected Democratic Party Leader. Gained +1 command, leadership, lost obscure

Okay, that might be a sign that I pissed off the RNG gods at some point😂. But still, congrats @10centjimmy!

PARTY LEADERS

Richard Nixon is automatically Republican Party Leader (president). Gains +1 command (null), +1 legis (now 2), gained iron fist (null)

@Rezi @LainKino @10centjimmy is your faction leader running for party leader? 

Yes.

I think that I'm going to go with the Internationalists as my faction's name.

@Arkansas Progressive From what I can tell, Ted Kennedy is the only one that I can use as Faction Leader so he's my choice.

Ouch. I mean, I kind of want to laugh and I kind of hate that I want to laugh at that.

@10centjimmy Drew Edmonds gains integrity

@LainKino James Roosevelt gains Orator and Bill Richardson gains unlikeable

@Joe303300 Woody Johnson gains alt state of IL, Mike Oxley gains alt state of VT, Jimmy Duncan gains alt state of ND, and Woody Jenkins gains alt state of OK

Okay, I updated those two with their additional traits and I think that I've got the career track picks done correctly.

Just now, Arkansas Progressive said:

thanks, probably would have missed it

No problem! 😁And I'm finishing up with my draft picks so you should be getting it from me in just a few minutes.

Hope nobody minds, but I fixed an error on the blue draft sheet involving Kay Ivey's information.

Just now, Arkansas Progressive said:

the sheets is a big place

Thank you! I found it now.
