Arkansas Progressive Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 Ark attempts to draft Robert R Livingston, fails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Drafting is currently taking place. We are at round 5. Mr. Progressive and I have agreed on a truce, so we dont try to steal each other populists. Instead we are trying to steal pols from the middle. The AI is being very predictable right now. I cant speak for Ark's plans, but I'm personally building up Fort Virginia. I'm getting all the greatest pols in Virginia, and I will hold that state forever. Im also hoping to get a general or two in the war, in the slim hope of getting a war hero out of it. The real question is if two populist players can hold up again 6 or 7 moderate AI's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Some instructions for our dear @Arkansas Progressive while im unconscious and European: Move M. J. Stone to New Hampshire (his alt state). Try turn all my mods into cons. You already got my kingmaker-protege combo on the sheet. Ideally Jefferson becomes the leader and we take the name "Jefferson Patriots" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas Progressive Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 Ideologies. Red 1 and Blue 4 attempt to shift their pols towards highest enthusiasm. Red 1 is mostly Mods, so Arthur Lee, Thomas McKean, and Oliver Ellsworth attempt to move from Lib -> Mod. Lee fails, McKean and Ellsworth succeed. Blue 4's mostly cons. William Preston moves from Trad -> Con, Patrick Henry moves Trad -> Con, and Thomas Stone moves Mod -> Con. Patrick Henry is the only one to succeed. Lars Johann de Kalb Mod -> Cons. Passes Hugh Mercer Mod -> Cons. Fails, gains flip-flopper John Paul Jones Mod -> Cons. Succeeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansas Progressive Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 Red 5, Red 3, Lars, and Blue 3 are the only pols with activateable kingmakers. Samuel Huntington takes Johnathan Trumbull as protege. Trumbull gains Labor exp, Provincial Benjamin Franklin takes on Charles Biddle as protege. Biddle gains +1 Admin (1st), Foreign Affairs, Civil Rights George Mason takes on Thomas Jefferson as protege. Jefferson gains RW Activist, Debater Patrick Henry takes on John Tyler Sr. Tyler gains +1 legis (now 2), Military exp, RW Activist, propagandist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas Progressive Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 Inaugural Continental Congress (1774-1776) CT: Red 5 wins the random draw: Chooses Thomas Mifflin, George Clinton, Oliver Ellsworth. Mifflin rejects the nomination, Ellsworth accepts, getting no experience from the track. Edward Telfair is selected instead. DE: Blue 2 chose their own faction but decided to keep their own pols on the track, instead any same-party politician was chosen. Thomas Barbour and John Patten GA: Red 3 chooses the lowest scoring same party faction, who has no pols in the state. It then selects the highest legis of any same party faction, choosing James Armstrong and Button Gwinnett as tie breakers. MA: Red 5 chooses Timothy Pickering, Artemis Ward, Caleb Strong, and Robert Treat Paine. Pickering rejected, so Samuel Osgood is selected, who also rejects, so finally John Adams is selected. MD: Red 4 selects Arthur St. Clair and John Hanson who have 1 command. Robert H Harrison and Benjamin Stoddert are both selected, agreeing to leave the track NC: Blue 4 wins the tie break. Robert Howe and Cornelius Harnett are initially chosen. Richard Caswell is chosen after John Sevier rejects appointment. NH: Red 1 wins the tie break. John Langdon is selected. Bartlett is selected shortly after NJ: Red 4 is selected. David Brearley, John Witherspoon, and Jonathan Elmer NY: Blue 4 selects John Jay, who refuses. They then select Alexander McDougall, James Clinton, and Richard Montgomery PA: Blue 3 wins tie tie break. They select James Smith, Benjamin Franklin, James Wilson, and Benjamin Chew RI: Red 3 selects Thomas Tillinghast, William Bradford SC: Red 2 selects Henry Laurens and John Rutledge. Charles C Pickney rejects the appointment. They instead choose Henry Middleton VA: Lars holds the most polls and selects Richard Henry Lee, Benjamin Harrison V, Thomas Jefferson, and John Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 My video editing software crashed and lost me more work than I care to admit, so instead Im gonna progress on 1774-76: 2.1.3: Exactly one guy can get rid of flip flopper, and Hugh Mercer naturally fails. 2.1.4: Blue 3 gets a chance to relocate a pol. They choose John Hiester from the overpopulated PA. He succeeds in moving to Delaware and gets "carpetbagger" for his toruble. Blue 2 gets a chance to relocate a pol. They choose John Barry from the overpopulated PA. He moves to New Jersey without any issues. As a result, Pennsylvania is no longer overpopulated. 2.1.5: We found an issue preventing the CPU from moving. As such, the players also wont move theirs this turn. 2.1.6: Part 1, 2 and 3 of the rule doesnt apply here. Part 4 however... The only humanly possible attempt is Blue 3 targetting John Hancock. It fails. Big Hands Hancock gains integrity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansas Progressive Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 2.1.7: Samuel Huntington of Red 5 has leadership, and as such takes an additional protege in John Trumbull Sr! Trumbull Sr gains +1 judicial and provincial 2.1.8: Cards do not change 2.2.1: Red 4 has the most delegates, so they select the president. From among their own faction, James Armstrong is the first president of the Continental Congress. He loses obscure. Armstrong appoints Caleb Strong as Dom Chair, Artemas Ward as FA Chair, John Langdon as Econ chair, and John Witherspoon as Judicial chair Strong gains nothing. Gains Energy expertise Ward gains nothing. Gains naval expertise Langdon gains nothing. Gains Transportation expertise John WItherspoon gains nothing. Gains justice expertise.
