PLEASE READ THE RULES IN THESE SECTIONS IF YOU ARE NOT SURE. THIS PART DID NOT GO WELL IN THE OTHER PLAYTEST IN THAT REGARD.

2.1.6 Politician Conversions

Check for a disgruntled ideology Red Prog and Blue Con/Trad can flip

None do.

Targeting Opposing Party Members

Only Party Leaders can attempt to convert someone from another party, so long as their target is marked for “Party Flipping.” 10Cent, jnewt, pman and WillScout cannot be targeted

@DJBillyShakes Sen Olsen- 1 attempt at 43% chance

@pman Pres Stephens- 1 attempt at 10% if pliable; 5% if Moderate

Targeting Same-Party Members of Another Faction

Both Party Leaders and Faction Leaders may target same-party members of other factions, so long as their target is marked “pliable” AND has the same personal ideology as the faction leader making the conversion attempt. 10Cent, jnewt, pman and WillScout cannot be targeted

@10centjimmy John A Burns- 1 attempt at 10% chance

@jnewt Martin Luther King Jr- 2 attempts at 58% chance

@DJBillyShakes Arnold Olsen- 1 attempt at 58% chance

@ShortKing Mary E Clarke- 1 attempt at 10% chance

ECCPU Robert C Murphy- 1 attempt at 10% chance

@Arkansas Progressive Mike Castle- 1 attempt at 33% chance

@dkh64 Alfred Driscoll- 1 attempt at 10% chance

@Rezi Arnold Schwarzenegger- 1 attempt at 43% chance

@pman Stan Stephens- 1 attempt at 25% chance

WillScout Meldrim Thomson Jr- 1 attempt at 10% chance

 

2.1.7 Kingmakers & Proteges

Correct but since you are not manipulative your chance of success is 0% unless he is pliable (10%) or Moderate (5%).

No kingmakers either?

 

With Stan Stephens becoming President his Kingmaker pairing with Lauch Faircloth ends. Faircloth is already a Master Kingmaker so no roll needed for Promotion to Master Kingmaker.

Kingmakers

Master kingmaker David H Pryor takes on General Audie Murphy as a protege. I processed it and then ran across the below and had to reverse it.

the following offices cannot be made into a protege (although they can be a protege before attaining these offices): president, VP, Speaker, House Min Ldr,  Sen Maj Ldr, Sen Min Ldr, anyone with a military office, anyone on the US Supreme Court.

Always fun to learn a new rule. No kingmaker moves for now then.
