jnewt Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 @vcczar Is it possible to alter the historical ideological evolution of the parties? For example, I’m wondering if say Murrman continued to draft traditionalists and conservatives that politicians in 2020 who are real-life Republicans end up in the blue draft because the parties didn’t evolve ideologically the same way they did in real life (e.g. Ted Cruz ends up in the blue draft)? (Not sure if this makes any sense though lol.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not sure if this makes any sense though lol.) The game is designed in such a way that Democrats will never be Conservative in the 21st century unless a player seeks to ideology shift them that direction, risking flipflopper and two-faced. The drafts will eventually start supplying the Red Party with traditionalists and conservatives, while the Blue Party will stop getting them, so the historical shift occurs. Ted Cruz will be drafted Red regardless. Maybe AMPU 2 will allow for something more free-flowing, but the game right now needs more control. If I break down this barrier you'll get a lot of historically-minded players getting upset that Cruz ends up a Democrat 50% of the time or that Sanders and Manchin show up in the same faction too frequently. I'd be one of those historically-minded upset players that would be irked by it, probably enough to not play the game again. As I've said before, I'm determined to make a historically realistic game that allows for some ahistorical deviation. I'm trying to control the apparatus of the game so that it generates realistic results overwhelmingly. I think what might be possible is to allow for an option that allows anyone to draft anyone for players that don't want to be historical. I'm okay with that as an alternate rule, but not for the playtests. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebrk85 Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 We are ready to begin!!!! I have a few things to finish but can do that as we move along. Everyone has editor access now. For those that are new, the tabs may be sorted as needed to find the date you are looking for. My only ask is unless you know what you are doing don't mess with the filters that are set. If the filter is changed and then the tab is sorted that can cause all kinds of problems. As we discovered in the modern test when everyone's age was suddenly wrong in the one faction lol. Whoops. Rookie Draft Consult 2.1.1 for rules. Please submit your draft strategy by PM on this forum to me. If can be a list of your top picks or what ideology or traits you want to prioritize or some combo of all. Draft ideologies for each faction can be found on the main tab. Draft order by random draw is below.

Another question is this is open so pm you personally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebrk85 Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 Correct pm me personally. Each person will send their whole list or strategy and then I draft them all at once. Would take forever if we had to wait for each person to make a pick one by one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once your list is exhausted any remaining picks would be selected by highest "politician value" that fits your factions draft ideology. In your case you will want to focus on the Libs, Prog and LW Pop. You can try to draft the others but you only have a 30% chance of being successful.
