Yes

Whig Conventions have been pretty sedate for the last 3 elections. Doesn’t help when 2 faction leaders are foreign born

Nay on SR 4 Aye on HR7

William Irwin: Repeal Expand Presidential Power to Allow the President to Force States to Comply with Federal Revenue Laws John Wesley Davis: Establish Lenient 10% Loyalty Reconstruction State Readmission Plan

Neither of my Governors were sucessful, and they both vote against the amendment

Benjamin Robbins Curtis pledged to only serve 1 term as part of his platform, but died before his term was up.

Flip HR 6 to no

I think that comma is a typo. It should read: they will prioritize politicians who are either former presidents still able to run for president or politicians who have an elected or appointed office” that makes sense to me

I think the selection rules are fine outside of adding a provision that if they have multiple options they will default to the one holding office

Incoherent not great for Yates. He was really looking like a solid contender for president. Also, can we talk about how useless Preston Plumb is?

Yep, Tyler posted them

Faction Leaders: Tarriff Whigs: Retain President James A Gary Internationalists: Retain Fmr IL Gov Richard Yates Jr Moderate Whigs: Retain NE Sen John Milton Thayer Liberal Whigs: Retain Key Advisor Carl Schurz Progressive Whigs: Keep Preston Plumb

Great movie

Yes, I will shift them

I dare you to refuse the LA purchase, just so Eric had to do the work to find it for nothing 😉 also the memes

I have to keep Bernhart Henn (even though he is obscure, he has a lobby and interest that match my cards).

We also need to understand that in a few years once early access is a thing, at that point we can revisit biases, to ensure historical viability. We also have to remember the audience. The people playing this game will understand the history and why it’s like that. Winning/losing these eras won’t matter so much.

Whigs didn’t have a problem in the 1840 playtest. It’s not easy, but very doable

Fair enough, rules are always changing

I believe there is an initial roll, then he would have to take an executive action to officially set precedence. I believe that is how V set it up.

Red team finally got the assassin they always needed
