ShortKing Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I just love that on the GOP side, it's the President against the Vice President and on the Dem side, it's some Hollywood starlet versus a Southern preacher. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor candidates can only do the withdraw actions. @Bushwa777 @10centjimmy @Murrman104 @jnewt Presidential Promise: Make an offer to a rival candidate to get them to drop out of the primary (see Presidential Promises). If offered to a candidate, the candidate must have the appropriate expertise and at least 1 ability that is appropriate for the office (ex. 1 admin for cabinet, 1 judicial for SC Justice, 1 command for VP, etc.). If offered to that candidate’s faction, in general, then the faction leader will select which candidate of their faction will fulfill the promise. Make Demand for endorsement: Make any offer to a rival candidate as a demand to drop out and endorse them (see Presidential Promises). Embrace Local Issue as Your Own: 25% chance of Gain +1 in a state in the upcoming primary group (candidate chooses). If the candidate’s personal ideology is the same as the state’s bias, then increase to 50% chance. If the candidate’s personal ideology does not border that state’s ideology, then there’s a 50% chance the candidate’s ideology shifts with a 25% chance of gaining “flipflopper”. Withdraw from race and endorse: Pull your candidate from the race and endorse a candidate. 75% of your delegates will go to that candidate, the other 25% will go to a candidate of the most similar ideology of your candidate, randomized if tied. Withdraw from race and release delegates without an endorsement: 25% of the delegates will go to the candidate with the most similar ideology of your candidate (randomized if tied); 25% will go the current front runner; 25% will go to the party leader; 25% will go to the faction with the lowest score. These are cumulative. Withdraw from the race but hold the delegates for leverage at the convention: You maintain your delegates. Roll a 1-2 to see if you get “Disharmonious.” A candidate with “harmonious” will not hold delegates. Give a major speech: This can be done only once by the candidate during the primary. A candidate can choose not to give a speech. Campaign focus: Candidate chooses one state to focus on. Attack Rival in Words, Ads, Via Surrogates, and Etc.: Candidate: Candidate chooses a primary rival to attack. See rules doc for further details and effects of each action. President Taft: 1.

Bushwa777 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 A report by Edward R. Morrow: I'm in Portland Oregon tonight and the crowds are going wild. The streets are packed waiting to hear President Taft speak. I will tell you I have not seen crowds this large since V-E day in London. They are chanting "Taft, Taft, Taft ". Its pure bedlam. I cannot really describe the happy faces on the people. They love Taft for winning the war and ending segregation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
