Yes, I was just clarifying that he called it a +1 for Ron being 60+, and I wanted to make sure we all understood the rule correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pman Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 So the red team really did go with a Rand/Ron Paul ticket, haha. Once again we see the value in ignoring the 1 point for the VP points and just pick the best person from the most important region. Ron Paul looks like he'll be about as useful as our VP in 48 and he almost singlehandedly sank the ticket. His jaunts to his home region and the resulting -2 (or was it -3) hit we received probably cost us the Senate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pman Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Out of curiosity, what traits make a running mate most likely to get a +1 party preference while campaigning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provincial is excellent at getting a regional+1, cosmopolitan is also good but outside your region (so less useful), likable also modifies it iirc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really the best plan is to just try to hit all the boxes. Whichever party hits more gets the +1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I never trust the dice. Then again I guess you can pick a weak, obscure vp just to get the initial plus 1 then just keep the running mate home because he/she isn’t forced to do anything except the one vp debate.

There is a chance of a penalty if you don't send them out. I don't recall what it is because I didn't need to look it up in 52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
