The CPU Career Tracks are complete (of note RedRW J A O Preyus gained 1 command and BlueRight James Byrnes received egghead and leadership)

@matthewyoung123 @MrPotatoTed @jnewt @Largo833 @Umbrella @lm1145 @ShortKing @ebrk85

2.1.3 (skipped), 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, and 2.17 (Relocations, Ideology Shift, Pol converstions (just Hoover), Kingmakers) 

Hello!  Please see the rules for 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, and 2.17 to tackle the next stage. 

At this time there is only one faction leader in play, so each faction can shift ideology of up to 3 politicians (then whatever skills Hoover has to alter this for @matthewyoung123)

As we only have one faction leader in play, just @matthewyoung123 will perform the conversions.

You have until tomorrow, 9:30pm for your actions -> then I'll share the finalized faction personalities  (interests, ideologies, and lobbies).

 

Almost through the First Phase!
