Twitter is too short though right?

I'd be posting thing that happened, then link to the forum page (to drive trafic) and then I'd post a reply thread with relevant info

Haha I wanted to but once I saw the others vote aye I decided there was no point

at least you know when the opposition is pointless lol.

I'm not calling it X, and you can't make me.

Seriously though, I want to post AMPU related things to twitter, either from the official account (which I'll need credentials for) or I can make a playtest specific account to report on things going on in playtests (since Anthony hasn't done releases of the playtest events since last year).

I want the community's opinions and consent (for those GMing, of course)

Preferred state ideologies are listed on the Gov tabs, and elsewhere I think.  Highest enthusiasm is on the meter page.  Just note the meter that is most away from the center for both the Reds and the Blues.

I have two public maps that have preferred state ideology (both + and -) 

least preferred ideology and most preferred ideology

I don't know what the 5 pols per phase is, but I always just stick with 3.

I think it's a holdover from when the limit was higher and was not changed when player limits got updated.

changed Conference to option A as  a suggestion

Saw this in bio for Return J. Megs Jr: Colonel in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. An early settler of what would eventually become OH. Drafted the code of regulations used for governance until the formal creation of the Northwest Territory. Father of Gov Return J Meigs Jr.

Well yesterday was the worst day at the polls in the 14 years I have been doing it.  Guy I had no interaction with calls me an asshole and gives me the finger. Another women as she is walking out says under her breath (but plenty loud to make sure I heard her) that "we really should just shoot all the Dems".  Then asshole guy comes back to bring his father to vote. While he's waiting outside for his father he proceeds to just unload on me. I won't repeat what he said but I never have been called so many derogatory words and slurs in any point in my life. I did not engage but the threat he made while driving away prompted a visit from the police to his house. (Let's just say they were familiar with him.)

So yea so much fun. Can't wait to do it again in November when it will be ratcheted up that much more.

I'm sorry, that sucks
