Moving on!! @Joe303300 @Bloot911 @Rezi @WVProgressive @Bushwa777 @10centjimmy @jnewt @Rodja @ShortKing @Murrman104 Red Team when making your selection, please let me know if they will also be running for Party Leader. Everyone can also select their Faction Name (Nickname). I am not sure if everyone has access to the list of options on the rules doc. If you don't let me know and I'll provide the list. 2.2.3 Faction Leaders Selected: An elected President is automatically the leader of their faction. Otherwise, the faction chooses their leader -- the leader must have: The faction leader must have an Ideology, and either an Interest or Lobby that matches the cards of the faction, since he or she is expected to represent that faction. Faction leader must have “Leadership” cannot be on the “career track.” cannot have the trait “lackey” cannot have the “obscure” trait. A non-president, non-incumbent party leader with “passive” has a 25% chance of declining the role, unless they are the only option. If no statesmen meet these requirements, then omit the “leadership” and “lackey” requirements.. If they still can’t meet the requirement, omit the interest/lobby requirement. If they still can’t, void the “career track” and “obscure” trait requirements and settle exclusively for having the right ideology. If a career track politician ends up as faction leader, they immediately resign from the career track and receive any benefits they’ve earned from the years they served (rounded down). I'm proud to stick with our President Harry Truman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnewt Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Despite having the sitting Vice President, Chief Justice, two Associate Justices, Attorney General, Senate Majority Leader, House Majority Whip, and Secretary of Labor, as well as former Vice Presidential nominee Burton K. Wheeler, former Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins is my only eligible candidate for faction leader (the others are all obscure lol). Only three options for nicknames as well, so we'll be the Perkinsonian Democrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
