Put it in suggested fixes, but at this point I'd doubt v reopens specific stats for pols. Arguably most major party candidates should have leadership too so they'd be eligible for major candidate status/faction leader

Cant we just do it on the sheet?

Yeah, it’s the biggest problem with starting games after 1772.  There is no realistic way to capture what someone’s traits should be on a given date without doing an insane amount of research for every possible politician, every possible trait, every possible start date.

The best fix would be for someone to go through and give leadership, controversial, etc to those who had earned it by 2012 and remove it for those who hadn’t yet.  But someone would have to volunteer to take that on.

I'm not caring about the game as a whole.  I doubt this ever will be a game.  I'm saying for playing now let's put the leadership on the sheet otherwise we dont have enough people to run for offices @MrPotatoTed

Sure, like I said, that’s fine if someone’s willing to do the research to actually do it, even just for this game.

The rules state that if people don't have leadership others can be nominated.  I dont think we will have enough peeps so I would say nominate others.

I have asked rodja if I can update list and have yet to hear back

I believe rules say if “nobody” else who is qualified has leadership, others can be nominated.  So it’s not just a matter of whether enough have it.

As for you updating the list, I’m sure that’s fine as long as you do so for everyone who has congressional leadership experience (not just Boehner)

as long as the representative tab is correct no republican reps have leadership

That is what I have found.  I'm going to be off work by 530 cst. I will go in and put leadership in to those who had served before 2012 in congress leadership If i can and let you know.

Ok guys it took longer then I thought but I went through all the politicians on the list and gave leadership to those who had served in high senate or house offices before 2012.  This means that all of you have at least 2 or 3 people.  You may go back and see if you want to change votes.
