Rolls 5, +1 in PA

This should be NC

[ebrk85]

Presidential Debate 3

Gov Nikki Haley @pman

• +2 for Debater
• +1 for Leadership
• Orator roll 27/25 no change

VP Jay Inslee @jnewt

• +1 for Charisma/Leadership

 

Haley Rolls a 4 +3=7

Inslee Rolls a 1 +1=2

 

In 3rd and final debate, Gov Haley shines and is clear winner.  A great lasting memory for her with the public as we come down to the end of the race.

 

Party Pref moves Red +1 (now maxed Red)

Scandal Roll

Inslee has integrity

Haley rolls a 4 (with controversial). Scandal!

Scandal roll is a 2, minor scandal -1

 

You knew the scandal was coming- just glad it was a minor

Debate and leadership has proven to be incredibly important

@jnewt

You must see something I don't see- why are you focusing on the deep south?

[pman]

So close to a woman President. So close. We've been here before. But so close.

[ebrk85]

@pman @jnewt

October Surprise

 

• Roll 2: Ongoing crisis starting to look more favorable; +1 party pref to an incumbent president or 5-6 die roll of +1 to party pref to incumbent party's nominee. Randomly select the crisis. There’s also a chance the crisis is improved by 1 at this time on the meter if a 5-6 is rolled. 

Our Domestic Stability Crisis is starting to look better!

Party Pref roll for incumbent party:  Rolls 5- party pref moves Blue +1 (now Red +2)

Crisis meter roll: Rolls 3- meter doesn't improve

 

Election Day

I have a few numbers to plug in on the sheets before the polls close tonight. One to point out on here:

• Does the nominee have “integrity” when the other nominee has “controversial?” then +1 party pref. Roll 5-6 for a candidate with “teflon” to avoid this penalty. YES (no teflon)
• Party Pref moves Blue +1 (now Red +1)

[pman]

Plus, don't we have a female Majority Leader in 48, now that's 50/50?

From +3 to +1 after I spoke about being close, lol, gotta love it.

I saw that as I was typing it up and was shouting in my head be careful don't speak too soon.

I respect the rule but it's odd that you can get a +1 for a crisis improving but then has to roll to see if it actually improves.

Yup, we've been here before twice, once in this game and obviously once irl.

Haley better win

That's fair. Could prob just be one 5-6 roll. You hit it both pref and meter go up. If not they don't.

In which case if you take the first roll you still get hit with it then.

[ebrk85]

Polls will close in 15 mins and the count will begin.

@pman @ShortKing @WVProgressive @Murrman104 @jnewt 

 

I'd give Haley the edge but closer then I expected. The last scandal and October Surprise brought Inslee within striking distance.

I'll post the states in order of their IRL poll closing times.

Yeah it'll be close. That scandal roll and the Oct Surprise will have big downballot significance too

Oh shit I was strategizing my actions as if there would be another action phase...

[pman]

I still don't get the NC campaigning but if you win there- I guess kudos for seeing something I didn't see.

Controversial was going to hurt her and it did. The October surprise was frustrating but what can you do. The negative -1 for being a woman is tough too. But we'll see.

@ebrk85 Inslee should be getting points in manufacturing states because we have the labor union lobby, right?

[pman]

Well I'll be mostly offline the rest of the evening. Let's try and win this. I'd love to win one of these with SK, we've lost in just about every playtest- let's hope for a good result here.

The -1 for a women isn't a thing in this age

But Insley doesn't have labor

Neither does Haley, but she was getting points in manufacturing states. I thought the "Lobby Bonus" was determined by the lobby cards the faction holds and the "Experience Bonus" was determined by the experience the individual candidate has... Maybe I'm just lost lol
