I also thought they had to have a trait like egghead or charismatic or something. Do you see it anywhere? Here's the thing... I was going to delete it... but I'm pretty sure I hadn't done so yet, so it wasn't me.... TBH in the meantime it's grown on me. Or maybe I've had bad memory.

MrPotatoTed Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 I found @vcczar said in the feedback thread (when I first raised this issue):author rules set for Declaration of Independence. The author must come from VA, PA, or MA. They must have egghead, orator, debater, or must already have celebrity. I can't find it in the actual rules, but we'll follow this since it came from V. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of the Declaration of Independence event. I was looking at it this morning. Doesn't say that they have to be in the CC though.

Let's go ahead and say it does need to be CC (since historically it was). I'll flag that for V to add to the rules at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ich_bin_Tyler Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Welp, since they have to be in the CC I have two options: CC President John Adams CC Delegate Samuel Adams John Adams will select his most distinguished cousin, Samuel Adams (@Murrman104), to write the Declaration of Independence. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPotatoTed Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 If it helps, Sammy already has celebrity (tea party) so I don’t think it helps the individual politician all that much. Haha. Can you guys submit CPU votes as well? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPotatoTed Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 In that case, the vote is once again: CT: NAYDE: AYEGA: AYEMA: AYE MD: AYENC: AYENH: ABSTAIN (Split vote)NJ: AYENY: AYEPA: AYERI: ABSTAIN (Split vote)SC: NAYVA: AYE I love that New England is the one under attack and yet they're also the ones who are afraid to take a stand (other than MA). Regardless, the declaration passes 9-2, with two states abstaining! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPotatoTed Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 Sammy Adams is already a celebrity in his own right thanks to leading the Boston Tea Party, but now cousin John becomes a celebrity as well for presiding over the passage of Sammy's Declaration of Independence. @Ich_bin_Tyler@Murrman104 keeps getting richer. +250. He now has an 800 point lead on his closest competitor, @Ich_bin_Tyler. Military Prep would improve, but you haven't passed the Militia Act yet. To be fair, you also haven't had the opportunity to do so yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPotatoTed Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 Legislative Phase time! Reminders: Proposing and passing a continental army is worth 2x points. Foundational bills and crisis bills have special rules encouraging their passage (see 2.6). The following can make a proposal:@Murrman104 Author of the Declaration of Independence Sammy Adams of MA@10centjimmy John Patten of Delaware@OrangeP47 Faction Leader Francis Hopkinson of New Jersey GeorgeWashingtonCPU George Washington of Virginia GeorgeWashingtonCPU Roger Sherman of Connecticut PatrickHenryCPU Josiah Bartlett of New Hampshire Go ahead and propose for the CPU too. Thank you! Oh, also please fill out columns EL and EM on all player/CPU sheets (committee experience/chair experience. We'll call the Cont Congress "House" experience as it follows the committee rules for the House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPotatoTed Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 Misc Rules (3.0) offer achievements for "iconic politicians."@Murrman104 Sam Adams has earned "Father of the Declaration of Independence," and "gains a memorial." I think the opportunity to propose such a memorial comes in a later phase of the game.@Ich_bin_Tyler John Adams has earned "Famous signature" for presiding over the passage of the declaration. For centuries on, political nerds will refer to signatures as a "John Adams", leading to a funny scene in the 1995 movie Tommy Boy in which Chris Farley will mistakenly refer to it as a "Herbie Adams." 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
