1.Speech in NY Rolls 3, no effect

2.Help from lw media Rolls 1, ouch, Party Pref -1 Blue (now Neutral)

3. President focus on midwest Rolls 4, no effect

For not sending the VP out, rolls 1, Moderate enthusiasm -1 Blue (now Red +3)

Not good

Crazy that a mod running mate has single-handedly angered the mods so much. Another one of those quirky rules. 

Who knew that imprisoning the Moderate running mate in the DNC HQ would anger Moderates?

Final Presidential Debate

Taft starts with a bonus of 3 (has debate and leadership)

Bankhead starts with a bonus of 1 (has charisma)

 

@Bushwa777 Taft- 9

@10centjimmy Bankhead- 7

Taft wins the final debate. Party Pref moves +1 Red (now lean Red)

 

October Surprise

Roll 4: On-going crisis gets worse; -1 to incumbent party pref or roll 1-2 for -1 party for incumbent nominee. Randomly select crisis and lower the crisis meter by 1 if  a 1-2 is rolled.

Our Domestic Stability is looking worse.  Party Pref -1 Red (back to Neutral)

Rolls 5 so no Dom Stab meter change.

Election day is up next. However, I still have to do all the calculations and plug all the numbers into the doc before we can begin rolling for the results.  We'll do it tonight but might be a bit late for some. I estimate it will take me till about 1030p EDT to get it all ready.

Got the sub total numbers plugged in. Moderates being maxed Red really killed Tallulah's numbers. So many penalty's for that.  A lot of close states so its not a zero chance she can win but she will need the dice heavily to fall in her favor.  One problem is those close states include the South.  Turns out the Conservative Democratic South isn't so pleased with a LW Populist candidate and might just vote Republican now.

I'll post when about to start rolling in a little bit.

They would vote for the person who sent troops to make them behave?  

haha true but 1. she is so far left she frightens them even more and 2. these are computer people so they have short memories and only see both of your ideologies lol

But honestly this screams 3rd party candidate that they would like to vote for.

Kind of like most voters today...."hey he opened up that factory 4 years ago and got me a job but this other guy gave me a check during COVID, I will vote for that 2nd guy"

So when are the Dems ready to admit that they threw this election?

I'll be the first to admit it didn't go as I thought it would :classic_laugh: I'd like to point some of the blame at @ebrk85and his weighted 1s but what can you do! As it's been said, the Democratic bench of faction leaders and major candidates is pretty weak for whatever reason.

Aka Tallulah wasn't supposed to be the nominee but I destroyed Graham in the primaries with back to back major scandals. 😁

@ebrk85Is the rule still in place that you can run people on the career track for seats if there's no other options?

You can if you choose too. If there are no candidates for either side besides career track I can also generate candidates as needed.

I am doing the map and I have 49 to 46 but it could be that we have Hawaii now and they did not then so votes are a bit different?
