Ok red you may control super majority's everywhere and the democratic party is dead but WE have the points so who's laughing now

[Murrman104]

also @ebrk85 if you need any help setting up the new era let us know, i know theres a lot of stuff that needs to be moved around 

[ebrk85]

@Murrman104 @jnewt @WVProgressive @ShortKing @pman

 

The changing of eras provides the opportunity for players to switch or trade factions. If anyone would like to change up which faction they have now is the time to let me know!  I am sure @pman is to looking to switch out since Haley just became President 😛

We also have quite a few openings so if anyone out there wants to be considered in joining the playtest, reach out to me.

@Murrman104 thank you for the help offer. I don't know how easy or hard it is to change eras as this will be my first but I will let you all know if I need help with something. My goal is to proceed by the end of the weekend.

One area that I know is going to be time consuming I think is setting up the draft.  Generating 100+ new pols is much more tedious then importing a class of historical figures from a doc.

Haha, if someone wanted to steal her from me I wouldn't complain. Thune is enough work and I prefer the Senate

Yes well if they steal your faction you won't have either so...all or nothing baby!

[WVProgressive]

I'll stick with my faction. Cruz 2032!

[pman]

The red team is really starting to cook. If we can recruit a strong player for Brunell's faction we'll be in great shape

[Murrman104]

My faction is not ready to cook and everything is on fire. But rebuilding from the ashes should prove an interesting challenge!

Man, it would have been fun to reunite the band of you, me and SK. Throw in WVProg and we would have had a great team.

I’m happy to serve if you need someone. I can join either party, just let me know where you need me.  If you’ve got others who are interested, no worries. But I’m here if you need me.

Jokes from the other play test aside- we could really use the help on the red team. We have  a decent amount of labor heavy tasks ahead of us.

Having near supermajorities in both chambers must be tough

Does the like mean you’re on board? We need a strong player- tons to do 

[lm1145]

Put me in coach. I'm ready to play.

Well, I’d warn that I’m not necessarily a strong player. Haha. Like I mentioned in the other thread I almost never get to actually play as a human rather than as a CPU.

But I’m happy to go wherever EBRK sends me.

Dems are literally just me and @Murrman104 right now though, I’d say we need him a little more

I love it when mommy and daddy fight over me. ;c)

But we have a ton of tasks that need to be done and properly strategized so we could really use a full set of hands to help. 

[ebrk85]

Ok well if we don't have a full compliment of players I think I would rather have it evenly split among sides. That seems more fair then all human players on one side and the other having to work with mostly CPU teammates and not being able to strategize.

I’m sure the three of us are more than capable of handling all that. If Ted wants to join the blues then I’m all for it.
