Blue team has been cut out almost entirely from President Hoover's administration and we request that this be rectified with a blue appointment to China. Nay to MacArthur, when we all know Omar Bradley is the better man for the job. Aye to Butler, he's a good egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbrella Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Just out of curiosity, this was the first part of the rules that was a bit confusing to me. Were the candidates auto approved because they had enough votes that were out of the players control? For example, a non-controversial moderate would be auto confirmed because of the rule 2 ideology away rule, right?

MacArthur was the only person that could be appointed as Sr General, because according to the rules, the Sr General has to be promoted from the ranks of Generals...and he was the only General listed...

I think the 3 here all have the controversial trait and therefore have to be approved by committees and Congress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but Japan is the only blue. We want a Democrat as Ambassador to China -- we understand one declined, but there's many more to choose from! ;c) They don't "have" to be promoted from General, though it is definitely recommended to avoid penalties. That said, Omar Bradley is a General now so he could be promoted instead of Douglas. Edited February 21, 2023 by MrPotatoTed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, all nominees are automatically confirmed unless... 1) It's a Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury, Attorney General, or Secretary of Defense. (This was a compromise between those who wanted a vote on every single position and those who felt it was too tedious and/or resulted in way too many nomination defeats.) 2) They're controversial. 3) They have less than a 3 in their relevant skill (admin or military) UNLESS they have integrity. The one caveat: A Senate Majority Leader with iron fist can call for a confirmation vote on any position for any reason.

MrPotatoTed Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 @10centjimmy Heads up, we're showing an odd number of Senators in the main tab. It should always be even of course, which means something is wrong somewhere. Not sure if we have too many Senators or not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why, or when they should be filled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this the other day when doing Senator assignments. We are three short- PA, MO, and maybe IL. I asked @10centjimmywhat he wanted to do and he thought we should wait until the election to get those back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPotatoTed Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Ah, I just looked up PA's Senator and it was indeed vacant at this point in time. Not sure about the others, gotta go put the kid to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbrella Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I just looked on wiki, and the IL and PA seats were indeed vacant in 1928. The MO seat looks like it should be Harry B Hawes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
