Rodja Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 @jnewt @MrPotatoTed 1ST ACTION PHASE Both candidates can do any or all of these Give a Speech (requires primary era -- at least on state has a primary): If in the primary era (at least one state has a primary), the presidential nominee is allowed to give a speech. Otherwise, the speech must come from the VP or faction leader (if the latter is not the nominee). The speaker will select a state. If they have “orator” then they can roll a 5-6 for a +1 in that state for the nominee and another 5-6 roll for a chance of party pref +1 (both rolled separately). If the candidate hasn’t “orator”, then they can only roll the 5-6 for the state. If “incoherent,” they get -1 in a state and -1 in party preference if that die roll lands on 1-2. A ticket may opt not to make a speech. If no speech is made, then roll a 1-2 for -1 faction ideology enthusiasm of the nominee not making a speech. Incumbent Using the Power of Their Office: An incumbent president running for reelection can use the power of their office to help them earn support. Roll a 5-6 for the incumbent to gain +1 party pref. Scandal Roll (skip for nominees with “integrity”) Roll a 6-sided die. Rolling a 5-6 (or 4-6 if they have “controversial''), will result in a scandal. If a scandal occurs, then roll another 6-sided die: 1 = No significant damage 2 = Minor scandal (-1) unless candidate has propagandist, in which case he or she spins the damage and remains unscathed. 3 = Minor scandal (-1) unless candidate has “teflon,” in which case their personality buoys interest in their candidacy. 4 = Minor scandal (-1) unless candidate’s faction possesses the LW Media or RW Media card, in which case the media successfully diminishes the damage. 5 = Minor scandal (-1) and any attempts to to stop the damage fail. 6 = Major scandal (-2); politician also has a 25% chance of gaining “controversial,” Help from the Media: If the nominee’s faction has the LW Media or RW Media card, then they can roll 6 to increase faction ideology enthusiasm for all allied factions, but rolling 1 will give -1 to party pref. Send the VP to Shore Up Support (requires 12th Amendment in place. That is, elections by party tickets): Send the VP to the VP’s region to shore up support. The VP, if they are “likable,” will increase +1 in all states in the region, if the roll a 5-6. If they are “harmonious,” and they roll a 5-6, then they increase party pref +1. If they are “unlikable,” and they roll a 1-2, then decrease support in the states by -1. If “disharmonious” roll a 1-2 to decrease party pref by -1. A VP that is “provincial” will automatically get +1 in their home state and has a 25% chance of +1 in their home region. A VP that is “cosmopolitan” has a 25% chance of gaining +1 in a home region outside of their own (random). If the VP has no relevant traits, then they can roll a 5-6 for +1 in a random state in the region. If the VP is not sent, then there is a chance of the VP’s faction’s ideology enthusiasm falling by -1, if a 1-2 is rolled. A president nom with “Delagator” can send the VP to any region, but a 6 must be rolled for +1 in a region outside the VP’s home region. President Focuses on a Region to Earn Support (requires primary era -- at least on state has a primary): Use the VP region rules above for the Pres. The only difference is that the Pres can go to any region, while the VP is region specific. You have 12 hours to do your events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
