  1. Furthermore… this type of testing as proposed would be the sort of testing for for hundreds of tests with the actual computer version. I’m not really sure that this is what we need right now.
  2. I’m with Orange that ANY testing is specialized and has a specific stated purpose. It must also be short term aka just convention and feature the standard game state of 1 human and 9 cpu. Anything else is pointless and is already being done by the multitude of other playtests.
  3. Career Tracks: Private: Joseph D Sayers Backroom: William Hodges Mann Exec: Charles T O'Ferrall Legi: John W Daniel Admin: Albert T Goodwyn Judicial: George Gray Military: William F Vilas No removals unless 20 years
  4. Appoint @10centjimmyJohn W Stevenson to the open Senate Seat in KY, then appoint RedRW Robert Mallory to replace Stevenson in the House
  5. I just got off work and it's been a very long day, I'll have draft list and KY Senator in the morning
  6. Man…entering in candidates for every race is going to be a nightmare when that cap hits
  7. In a shocking upset, Fmr President Donald Trump has been projected as the winner of the Iowa Caucus
  8. AL: Improve Maritime AZ: Improve Mining CA: Improve Maritime FL: Improve Maritime, require that Senate Appointments be the same party as the previous senator (has efficient) IA: Improve Alt Energy NE: Improve Agriculture NH: Improve Maritime NJ: Improve Finance SC: Improve Maritime TX: Improve Natural Gas, set primaries as winner-take-all WY: Improve agriculture
  9. I will only be running Bernhart Henn as a major candidate Note: he gained command as a faction leader roll, but it was never added to the sheet
  10. Whig Convention: Category 1: AR, NE, AL, KS, AZ, CT, KY, NM, TX, FL Category 2: NC, MO, MN, UC, ND, MD, LA, LC, TN, MT Category 3: WA, OR, WV, MS, WI, ID, UT, GA, SC, NY Category 4: MA, NJ, SD, MI, IA, NH, ME, VT, PA, IN Category 5: WY, VA, RI, IL, OK, OH, DU, NV, DE, CO The Internationalists don't have a lot of convention strength, and made a critical error not placing New York lower in the pecking error, ceding a large portion of the delegates to Governor Theodore Roosevelt if he chooses to challenge.
  11. I’m not saying I don’t want it based on history. I’m saying there’s nothing wrong with some historical events not happening some games. we’ve only seen this issue once here. No other playtest has had an issue with events. Look at 1840, we have never had an issue where historical events that needed to happen didn’t happen and we’ve gone 30+ event cycles. This type of drastic change is unnecessary and should not happen. Like I said, once early access is out we can weigh any needed adjustments to event percentages, which I agree, probably need to be adjusted. But not until we have plenty of data to support a change.
  12. I think the events are fine. Not every event that happened irl needs to happen, or else this is just a history sim. If anything, percentages for each event to fire could be adjusted, but that needs to wait for early release.
  13. Did we? Well…guess Whigs aren’t doing anything to improve the crisis. feel free to replace for me or I’ll get to it later.
  14. Leland Stanford proposes Regulate the railroad rates for passengers and shipping to make them fair Charles W Fairbanks proposes Cap the House of US Reps at 1,000 Frank Gooding proposes War Bonds to Help Pay for War (Crisis) J Warren Keifer proposes Increase Defense Spending (Crisis) Nehemiah Sperry proposes Increase the size of the army (Crisis) Wesley L Jones proposes Increase the size of the navy (Crisis) William Pitt Kellogg proposes to Allow Labor Unions to engage in collective bargaining Winthrop M Crane proposes Allow the Federal Reserve to generate currency during economic crises Ernest Ackerman proposes Formally Declare War on recently active war (Crisis) Jehu Baker proposes Make it Illegal to Interfere with military operations or recruitment
  15. Robert D Blue is the replacement IA Senator Barbara Cubin is the new WY Rep
  16. If I’m able to leave work early due to weather I’ll get to this (and Whig Convention)
  17. Would be a real shame if SR 11 got filibustered again….oh lookie here, Linn Boyd is still alive. guess y’all are waiting another 2 years to try again.
