Yeah but the point was that he should not be in the game as he dies in 1863 and his draft date is listed as 1864 There's an event that mentions if he lives or is killed. The live event allows him to be drafted in 1864. You're supposed to remove everyone whose death date has arrived before 1868. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EYates Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 On the governor tab it has New York having elections every 4 years, at this point it was every two unless I am mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushwa777 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 Speaking of Governors': President Grant @pman please nominate governors for Louisiana and Texas. Rules they must be 1) from the Republican party, 2) have Gov ability, 3) be from the state (or they get carpetbagger and 4) did not secede from the union during the late war. You can check the latter by Wikipedia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushwa777 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 @Bloot911, @Blockmon, @dkh64, @DJBillyShakes, @EYates, @Imperator Taco Cat, @pman, @Umbrella and @Willthescout7 2.1.2 Career Track *Done once every four years All players may enter freshly-drafted rookies into a career track with some exceptions. Rookie politicians of a minority group that have not yet earned the right to vote cannot be placed on the career track. Each rookie can only be placed on one career track, and each faction can only place one rookie on each career track. There will usually be more rookies than available career track slots, so this decision requires strategic planning. The career tracks offer a variety of paths to empower you to develop your rookie politicians, helping them gain skills, experience, and traits for future leadership roles. However, while they are committing themselves to advancing in their career track, they will be unavailable to run in elections or be appointed to office. This is a moderate risk, high reward opportunity for your politicians to fully develop into their long term potential.In addition to placing one rookie in each career track, players will also choose whether to remove any of their politicians previously placed on the career track. Removed politicians will earn a variety of new skills, traits, and experiences – but the longer a politician remains on the career track, the larger the boost they will receive when they finally leave. All politicians will be automatically removed from the career track after 20 years (for maximum benefit), unless the player removes them earlier. All politicians on career tracks have a 10% chance of gaining a special interest based on their personal ideology whenever they leave the track. If an ideology allows for more than one interest, then roll 10% for each. Here are the allowable interests: RW Pop - Nationalist, Reformist, RW Activist, Pacifist Trad - RW Activist, Theocrat, Nationalist Cons - Expansionist, Nationalist Mod - Expansionist Lib - Civil Rights Prog - Civil Right, LW Activist, Reformist, Pacifist LW Pop - LW Activist, Reformist, Pacifist Any politician with “Overeager” has a 25% chance of being pulled from the Career Track, even if the player wants them to stay with an extra 5% chance of gaining traits/abilities if they are pulled off in this manner. Any politician with “Late Bloomer” has a 25% chance of refusing to leave the career track, locking them in for the entire length of the career track timeline.. Additionally, “Late Bloomers” get an extra 5% chance of gaining all traits/abilities if they make it to the last stage of their career track. These are the seven career tracks: Private Sector: A general catch-all career track, offering a wide variety of skill and experience gains. Military Sector: Representing someone rising through the ranks of the US military -- likely on their way to become a general, admiral, or in an administrative military role in a presidential administration. Judicial Track: Someone serving as a local, state, or lower federal-level judge on their way to becoming a short-list candidate for the US Supreme Court. Governing Track: Someone working closely with a state governor, serving as a lieutenant governor, or as a mayor with their eyes set on the governorship. Legislative Track: A local or state legislator hoping to become a US Senator or US Rep. Administrative Track: A local or state policy-wonk, likely serving as a state cabinet member and hoping to become part of a US Presidential cabinet. Backroom Politics Track: Someone compulsive and adept at the strategy of elections who wishes to serve as a kind of monarch in the “smoke-filled rooms” where real politics is conducted. These politicians generally see themselves as unelectable, so they attempt to find some sort of pawn to run for them. Name them in the forum below and I will put them on the table myself. For those who have reached 20 years this afternoon I will remove them and give the traits and so on they earned. This is due 5PM CST Tuesday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushwa777 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 I went ahead and looked at Wikipedia and changed terms for governors for those that are wrong with this caveat: if they were 1 year I changed it to two years and if they were 3 I changed it to 4 (as I am not holding elections every year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwa777 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Career gains part 1: @Imperator Taco Cat: William Niblack leaves his career at +5 judicial, has expansionist and integrity. David Broderick leaves with +3 leg and debate (note in real life he died in a duel in 1859 but we will say he survived this timeline). James Nesmith got +1 admin, kingmaker, expansionist, leadership, manipulative, and master kingmaker Edited March 27, 2023 by Bushwa777 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
