Timur Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) 1) First, there is a battle for the convention. You have three events (Two, if you are a favorite son, and 1 in negotiations if you have already won your entire delegation). Travel to a state to do an event there. Every event you do in a state, I'll roll a die to see how much progress you have made in impressing the state's delegation. Whoever receives 100 points in a state is officially endorsed by its delegation. If a candidate ends up becoming the only candidate to win over 50 points, he wins the entire delegation. If more than one candidate has over 50 points, the delegation will be awarded proportionally among those candidates. Otherwise it will be proportional. If you are the only candidate running for the nomination, then you won't have to worry about points, though. 2) You can go for endorsements which you will use as surrogates. Before the general election, you get to do three events with surrogates besides your other three events. I will try to be more careful about giving these, than I was last time. So the rules will be as follows: For example, If you are Breckinridge: Fire-eater: (e.g. Lawrence M. Keitt) 50 required Moderate pro-slavery (e.g. Lewis Cass): 65 required Moderate (Those in the Constitutional Union, Edward Bates): 75 required Moderate anti-slavery (e.g. Lincoln) : 90 required Abolitionist (e.g. Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison): 100 required If you are Bates or Bell: Moderate: 50 required Moderate pro-slavery/anti slavery: 75 required Fire Eater/Abolitionist: 100 required If you are Benjamin Wade or Salmon Chase: Abolitionist: 50 required Moderate anti-slavery: 65 required Moderate: 75 required Moderate pro-slavery: 90 required Fire-eater: 100 required (An exception would be Horace Greeley whom it would require only 50 for Bates to acquire, while it would take 75 for Seward to acquire). 3) You don't get to choose a VP. The convention will decide that. However, you could support a person to be the VP candidate, thus strengthening his chances. You can play as a VP if you please, but you will have only one event to try to influence a delegation. 4) Favorite sons cannot campaign beyond their state. Also, you play them or not, they will be there. 5) Then, there's the general election. You will be given three events for your candidate, one for your VP and six for your surrogates. Each surrogate will have a +2 added to their die roll (except when their die is 9 or 10). 6) If you have any disagreements with the rules, please let me know. 7) I will not give out how much a support a candidate has in his delegation. Republicans: William Seward Salmon Chase Edward Bates Abraham Lincoln John McLean Benjamin Wade Simon Cameron (favorite son) William L. Dayton (favorite son) Jacob Collamer (favorite son) (Northern) Democrats: Stephen Douglas Robert M.T. Hunter James Guthrie Joseph Lane Daniel Dickinson Andrew Johnson (favorite son) Southern Democrats (Of course, by avoiding this party altogether, you can run as a unified Democratic candidate.) John Breckinridge Daniel Dickinson Robert M.T. Hunter Joseph Lane Jefferson Davis Constitutional Union John Bell Sam Houston John Crittenden Edward Everett William A. Graham (favorite son) John McLean (favorite son with not very much support) William C. Rives (favorite son with very little support) John M. Botts (favorite son with very little support) William L. Sharkey (favorite son) William L. Goggin (favorite son) Liberty: Gerrit Smith (very low support). Only has ballot access in Illinois and OH. 0% support in the beginning. Gets to do only 1 event. Period. A 9 or 10 will raise your support by 0.1%, a 1 or 2 will destroy it. People's: Sam Houston (only if you lose the nomination as Sam Houston and want to continue to the end). If you want to run as another candidate, let me know, and I will consider it. Edited June 4, 2021 by Timur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timur Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 VP candidates Republican: Hannibal Hamlin Cassius M. Clay John Hickman Andrew H. Reeder Nathaniel Banks Henry W. Davis Sam Houston William L. Dayton John M. Read Democrats Benjamin Fitzpatrick (only if there is no Southern Democratic candidacy) William C. Alexander Herschel V. Johnson Constitutional Union Edward Everett (However, if he wins the nomination, he can choose someone else) Southern Democratic Joseph Lane (However, if he wins the nomination, he can choose someone else) Liberty Samuel McFarland People's You get to choose. However, the likelihood of their accepting your offer will be the same as their endorsing a Constitutional Union/Edward Bates-type moderate candidate.

Timur Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Also 1 week in the RP will consist of three days (or less if you post faster) in real life. If you don't post in time, I will count it as not campaigning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
