In 1778 Reds increased their delegation count to 8 out of 13. During the term of CC President John Adams, the Continental Congress failed to vote on the rejection of the Carlisle Peace (4-5-4) leading to the automatic and immediate adoption of increased representation in the British Parliament.

TBH from discussions, I think we're still on the mark.  We've made it difficult for the CPU to do this, and this was kind of a freak occurrence statistically I'd say.  Plus, as we've discussed, this early game game-overs aren't really that big of a deal, so it's probably fine.

Considering that two factions rolled a 1 and two rolled 9s out of a d100 yea its a freak occurrence
