Hope you're okay!

There's a chance since he is Controversial

Also Acuna has no Military or Naval expertise so can't be him

Cannot be Adoniram Warner for General because he served in Congress.

Spoiler: They're all ancient

Deaths and Retirements This will be done using the test rule for the 5% rate. Last half-term it cycled out a lot of older pols and even removed more of the frail pols and had some random younger deaths. It seems to be effective in pruning and allowing more members of a faction to flourish.

Part of me feel it's part of the trade off in the game. I think that makes AMPU better is balancing the nice bonus of development and support from a kingmaker vs their ability if you ever get the protege elected president.

But at the time of appointments, he is unemployed and will take that office. And if we take the flow of how the game processes appointments, key advisor is slotted in first before other offices.

Correct and Blackburn is not currently holding an office so he becomes the advisor

Also Also, @matthewyoung123, since Joseph C S Blackburn was the kingmaker to Pattison, he is automatically the Key Advisor. So you will need to pick a new Amb nominee.

Also, @matthewyoung123, you'll need to nominate for FBI Director. You can keep Clifton R Breckinridge or name someone new.

Declinations of offers in bold and why. Please pick replacements for those three.

We can pull off the career track but there is a part of me that feels like it should be limited to the same party as the president so you can't purposefully sabotage the CPU from the other party by yanking their good guys off early.

Cabinet Nominations Alrighty, @matthewyoung123 take it away!
