Washington choose A, make the compromise and name the city after me 🙂 Effects- 91/25 - relations with Spain so no change. 8/25 + relations with UK so relations with UK increase by 1 to 4 (between hostile & neutral). 27/75 - relations with France, so relations with France decrease by 1 to 5 (Neutral). 80/25 - dom stability so no change. 100 pts to Globalists, Moderates, Wall Street. -100 pts to Populists, Military-Industrial. 48/25 + dom stab. 53/25 chance + rev/budget. 49/25 chance +/- econ stab. So no changes at all to meters on the 1790 Compromise. Washington DC is named after the first president; Response A triggers Assumption of Rev War debts as a proposals next session; It will become the capital of the nation between 1798-1800. 50 pts to Moderates, Wall Street. -50 pts to RW Activists. Moderate enthusiasm shift +1 to Red, now at 5 (Neutral). Edited March 10, 2023 by matthewyoung123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewyoung123 Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Benjamin Goodhue of CalRedRW He is the only Red on State Exec track, so he is the new Gov of MA. Edited March 11, 2023 by matthewyoung123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I'll roll to see who is LT GOV and who takes the Gov seat with the death of Gov Cushing. On a 6 sided die, 1-2 roll for Goodhue, 3-4 roll for Eustis, 5-6 roll goes to Sullivan. Rolled a 5, so James Sullivan will be the new Gov of MA. @ebrk85 As much as I would love to take it looks like it needs to go to one of the Red career trackers: If a governor’s seat becomes vacant, then the seat is filled by a random same-party member on the governing career track from that state. They receive the career track benefits they’ve already earned, rounding down. If none are available, then the departing Governor appoints an unemployed person from that state who has at least 1 Gov. If none are available, then it goes first to an opposite-party governing career track politician from that state – and if still not available, then to an opposite party unemployed person with at least 1 Gov, selected by the departing Governor.

matthewyoung123 Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 Now it's onto lingering effects...which I have never run before...and its a little more complicated than I expected. So, I'll need a little time to figure it out plus there are family obligations today, so it may not be until tomorrow that the next phase gets done unless someone has time and wants to try and tackle it today. Just let me know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
