So depending on what happens above will determine my Kingmaker move.  If Morris shift to Con, then they will become protégé to Alexander Hamilton. Morris gains Trade, Nationalist, Propagandist, +1 Admin (his first)

@DJBillyShakes can appoint a MA Senator and MA Rep

@ShortKing can appoint a KY Rep and VA Rep

@matthewyoung123 can appoint a NC Rep

@WVProgressive can appoint a NJ Rep

2.1.4 Relocate Politicians

You may move pols to their alt states at this time or attempt to move them from an overpopulated (over 40) to underpopulated (under 20) state. MA, NY, PA and VA are currently overpopulated.

2.1.5 Ideology Shifts

 

Each faction can shift the ideology of up to three politicians, unless the faction leader has the following traits:

• If the faction leader has “iron fist” then they can flip two more politicians. 

• If they have “propagandist”, then they can flip one more politician. 

• If they have “manipulative,” then they can flip one more politician. 

• If they are the currently party leader, then they can flip two more politicians. 

If they have multiple of the above, then add them together, with a grand total possibility of 9 ideology shift attempts.

2.1.6 Politician Conversions

Skipping as we don't have faction leaders yet.

2.1.7 Kingmakers & Proteges

You may activate ONE kingmaker

An active Kingmaker must be at least 35 years old and not on a career track.  There are no age limitations for protege.

An active Kingmaker gets one protégé from their own faction who must also be from their own state and own personal ideology.

Relocations:

John Baldwin moves to DE (alt state).

James Wadsworth to OH.

Asahel Stearns to VT.

 

Ideology shifts:

Justice Bushrod Washington to Lib.

Sen. James Hillhouse to Mod.

Asahel Stearns to Lib.

 

Political conversions: Skip.

 

Kingmakers: No kingmakers.

I accidently deleted this post before posting it. The sheets are correct so check there for an accurate account of who succeeded and failed and what traits they may have picked up. What I typed above is just from memory.  Sorry.

@Murrman104 @dkh64 @ShortKing @pman @jnewt @DJBillyShakes @WVProgressive @10centjimmy @matthewyoung123 @Pringles 

We do not have Maj/Min offices yet so both parties are running for Speaker and Pro Tempore.

Speaker of the House -- Must be a US Representative who  previously served as a committee chair or House leadership/whip role or has the leadership trait, and does not have easily overwhelmed/incompetent. If no politician meets all requirements, then any US Rep is eligible.

Current Speaker @jnewt Nathaniel Macon is the only eligible candidate.

Macon loses obscure, gains +1 Legis (now a 5!), Unlikable, 500pts

Senate President Pro Tempore -- This position also acts as Sen Maj Ldr (and is elected as such) until the creation of the Sen Maj Ldr; however, it does not have the chance of gaining traits or abilities if the Sen Maj Ldr position has not been created yet.

Current Pro Tempore @ShortKing Sen Abraham Baldwin is the only eligible candidate

Baldwin gets 100pts

 

2.2.2 Congressional Committees Appointed:

@jnewt Please appoint all the House Committee Chairs and Members (their are no ranking members yet)

@ShortKing Please appoint all the Senate Committee Chairs and Members (no ranking members)

Chairs need to have a Legis ability of at least 2 OR have leadership trait.

I am glad I don't have to do that- though it must be easier with so few states

@pman's John Randolph is listed as the Rep for VA-2. But he was also just drafted and placed on the career track. How is that handled? Should I put him on one of the committees? @ebrk85

Ugh no he was a Rep for the 1800 start date so he will stay in Congress and you can add him to a committee.

@pman do you want to pick another rookie for the Legis Track?
