I wonder if the 3rd party rules need another look to be more punishing to the party most closely aligned with the 3rd party. Off top of my head, major third parties always seem to play spoiler to the party they'd otherwise most likely be affiliated with.

If we try to make everything prefect we're just gonna make things worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But (without actually seeing the numbers/die rolls/etc) it seems like the third party had no impact at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's many witty things I could say in regard to that being realistic, but having just woke up I can't quite muster it 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, Haley came within one point of tying NY (with Sander's third party coming one point behind her) and IL. Other close states included Washington (Where Sanders and Haley tied 2 points behind Warner) and Nevada (the same thing but Sanders and Warner Tying 2 points behind Haley) edit- Warner could have technically tied Mississippi without Sanders but I believe that was a 6 to 1 roll so he could have never won the tie breaker Edited October 16, 2022 by Murrman104 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
