@vcczarNone of the EV events have a % chance of happening.  What % chance should they have?  (I'm going to default to 20% until you say differently)

Just do that for now because they won’t be uniform and I won’t put them in until I finish coming up with all the events.

The lack of southerners in the cabinet took it to the 2nd to last spot.  The slave rebellion in South Carolina took it to the last spot.

1798 Scripted Events 

Pennsylvania Legislature abolishes slavery --  The influence of several leading Quakers has compelled Pennsylvania to abolish slavery.

Treaty with UK (Jay Treaty -- Attempt Two):  British diplomat William Grenville is receptive to terms to avert another war and to strengthen ties with our future mother country. We can expect that the British will vacate forts in US territory in exchange for us taking part in an anti--French maritime policy. We will also gain limited trade rights in the British West Indies in exchange for us granting Britain "Most Favored Nation" trading status. Most economists and merchants, and those fearing a new war against Great Britian, support this treaty. However, those wishing to hold on to our old French alliance, or whom believe the treaty tilts in favor of Britain, or whom are outraged that the treaty will not guarantee an end of British impressment of US sailors are livid with the idea of this treaty. We can't avoid upsetting some of our citizens, whatever we do, but we could avoid a war, even if the treaty appears to be lopsided.

Action to @10centjimmy President Marshall to choose a response.

Haitian Revolution:  The Haitian Revolution puts us in a conundrum. On one hand, we like the idea of a European power, namely France, losing territory in our hemisphere. On the other hand, endorsing a revolution led by slaves is likely to upset slaveholders and possibly lead to a similar revolution in the Southern states.

First US Life Insurance Policy Issued:  A company in Charleston, South Carolina has created a framework for life insurance.  

French Revolution Quelled with Bourbons Restored!:  The French Revolution has come to an end as a British-Austrian coalition has stormed and conquered Paris. The leaders of the Revolution have been rounded up, and the new King Louis is on his way from exile to take the throne.

Typewriter Invented In Italy:  An obscure Italian inventor named Pellegrino Turri has invented a typewriter, designed to help his blind patron write letters. Some argue that the typewriter should be distributed among those with barely legible handwriting.

Pennsylvania becomes the second state (behind Massachusetts) to abolish slavery: 

PA becomes a free state.  RW Activists get +1 in the 1800 election.  @vcczar does this mean everyone who has the RW Activist interest regardless of faction cards, or everyone in the faction that has the RW Activist card regardless of whether the individual politician is a RW Activist?

EllsworthCPU +100

Jay Treaty (technically Benjamin Rush treaty):  We gain rights to WI, IN, IL, MI.  No diplomatic impact.  Implementation goes smoothly.  

Ellsworth 250
Jay 1000
Hancock 500
Randolph 750
Boone -500
Paine -250

Haitian Revolution: Whoops.  Need @10centjimmy to make a decision here.
 

[MrPotatoTed]

First US Life Insurance Policy Issued:   @10centjimmy +50

French Revolution Quelled with Bourbons Restored!: Whoops. Need a @10centjimmy response here too.

Typewriter invented: No impact.

Implementation is successful.  Ironically, by choosing to not get involved in the war, RandolphCPU Secretary of War Philip Key gets people thinking he might be Presidential.  Secretary Key gets +1 Command.

Ignoring Haiti gave cross-party rival BooneCPU the most points, so Moderate Enthusiasm +1 Red.

 

[MrPotatoTed]

Lingering Effects 1798 - 1800:

Economic Stability +1.
Quality of Life +1
Party Preference +1 Red.

JayCPU Secretary of State Richard Peters gets us +1 UK relations.
JayCPU Secretary of State Richard Peters loses us -1 French Relations.  Alliance is over.
JayCPU Secretary of State Richard Peters loses us -1 Prussian relations.

JayCPU Secretary of Treasury Benjamin Stoddert increases revenue/budget by +1.

PaineCPU Attorney General James Sullivan improves Domestic Stability +1!

@10centjimmy Key Advisor Alexander Hamilton improves Revenue/Budget +1, Economic Stability +1, Domestic Stability +1, Quality of Life +1, Party Preference +1 Red.

JayCPU Senior General Friedrich W Von Steuben +1 Military Preparedness.

@10centjimmy Senior Admiral Chief Admiral Jared Ingersoll +1 Military Preparedness.

The Controversial/Integrity balance drops Honest Government by -1.

END RESULT (keeping in mind cabinet combined can only move a meter a net of +1 or -1).

Revenue/Budget +1 (but it's already maxed)

Economic Stability +2.  The economy is now maxed, roaring!

UK Relations +1.

French Relations -1.

Prussian Relations -1 (Whoops, we don't have any allies anymore).

Military Preparedness +1.

Domestic Stability +1.

Honest Government -1. (Neutral)

Quality of Life +2.  (But stays where it is, because we don't have publicly-funded education yet).

Party Preference +2 Red.  (But maxes after just +1).

Sorry for the delays on this one, in addition to grad school we’ve been playing with arthritis meds and the current set up leaves me exhausted all day.  Ideally this is just a temporary set back, but in the meantime @10centjimmy feel free to keep pushing things forward if you’re able to.  Thanks!

@MrPotatoTed flagging that we had the bank then i believe it was repealed... can it be established,  or is there a "2nd Bank of the US" option?

Also did we get to give Marshall's military lobby to the rest of the red party?
