Not the most exciting turn, but we've had some pretty fun shifts so far, and I'm excited for the general direction this RP looks like it may be heading in. Either way, happy event making!

Event 1: Stringer writes to the New York Times to ask for an endorsement. He also brings his friend Jerry Nadler, since good old Jerry just seems to make everything better.

Event 2: Stringer will meet with delegates from the New York Women's Equality Party to attempt to gain an endorsement and maybe even a spot on the ballot under their name. He notes his wonderful relationship with his wife and says he was known as the King of Feminists back in College.

Event 3: Stringer declares himself to be a millennial on Twitter, and he asks his fans how he can make a Vine account.

1. Wiley will attack Yang for living out of city and being largely uninvolved with New York City politics until he believed he had a chance at becoming the next mayor. 

2. Wiley blasts Adams for flip flopping between half assed appeals towards the progressive portion of the city and jumping between conservative talking points on police reform.

3. Lastly, Wiley will blanket the city in positive ads showcasing Wiley as a progressive champion.

Sliwa talks welfare reform in Queens, leaning against on rhetoric like cutting bureaucracy, giving people a hand up out of poverty, and funding people, not politicians.

Sliwa, and some Guardian Angels patrol a few neighborhoods in the Bronx.

Sliwa blasts Mateo for his illegal donating of funds to Bill De Blasio’s re-election campaign.

After checking in with the Doblets, I think we should be able to find enough RPers to adequately fill the interesting cast of candidates who have appeared in this race.

Who are the Doblets? Is it a secret society where they sign oaths and have degrees?

NYTs: 5/10. Eric Adams isn't the candidate you would expect the NYTs to endorse, but the meeting goes well enough, with Eric neither gaining much ground or losing any with the paper. 

Tour: 3/10. Eric is following by progressive hecklers throughout the tour, drowning out some of the conversations he attempts to have.

Joe Biden: 7/10. Joe will not endorse, and even a personal meeting is something he's not willing to do at the moment, though Eric will be able to land a meeting with some of Joe's close advisors regarding gun violence, with them passing on a good word to the President as some media attention is gathered.

Overall: 0. Eric is left stuck in neutral.

TV Ads: 6/10. The ads don't do as well as Yang's initial rollout of his plan, but they do appeal to some.

NYTs: 5/10. Just like Eric, Yang was never the favorite for the endorsement, and walks away from his meeting with the editorial board with little gained and little lost.

Arab American: 3/10. Yang makes some off-putting comments during the meeting, seeming out-of-touch with the community.

Overall: -1. Yang really fails to do much this turn to help his campaign or seriously harm it, ending up with some minor negative momentum.

Event 3: Stringer declares himself to be a millennial on Twitter, and he asks his fans how he can make a Vine account.

NYTs: 5/10. Unlike Eric and Yang, Stringer has something of a better shot with the NYTs, but he fails to make a strong impression meeting the editorial board, positive or negative.

NYWEP: 7/10. The group will endorse, helping Stringer among female voters and the political establishment of New York.

Vine Account: 7/10. Somehow, somehow, this works, warming Stringer to younger and online voters.

Overall: +4. Stringer grabs some fair momentum this turn.

NYC Construction Workers Union: 4/10. The union will not endorse.

Sanders: 8/10. After already warming to Donovan, Sanders will finally bite the bullet, endorsing Donovan in a win for his support among progressives.

Brooklyn: 5/10. Literally nothing eventful happens during his time in Brooklyn.

Overall: +2. Donovan doesn't gather groundbreaking momentum this turn, but he also is soaking in some needed attention and support from progressives following Sanders' endorsement, cracking into what looked to be an unstoppable progressive mobilization around Wiley.

3. Ms. Garcia hopes to arrange a meeting with Sen. Schumer for a potential endorsement rally.

Wiley: 6/10. The attacks land with the white, liberal New Yorkers which represent a large portion of Garcia's base and are uncomfortable with Wiley's hard progressivism and lofty proposals. 

Brooklyn: 2/10. Garcia does not find a warm reception, with few people being open to her campaign.

Schumer: 1/10! Schumer refused a meeting outright, and reportedly had some harsh words for Garcia which leak out to the press.

Overall: -7. Garcia takes a major beating this turn.

3. Lastly, Wiley will blanket the city in positive ads showcasing Wiley as a progressive champion.

Yang Attack: 1/10! Wiley seems desperate to get at the frontrunner during the speech, and most New Yorkers seem to just, not care, about Yang's time outside the city or his lack of political experience in it.

Adams Attack: 6/10. The attack lands with Maya's base and those who with an already present dislike of Adams.

Ads: 1/10! Not only are these ads hurriedly put together, with poor audio and camerawork, but Wiley suffers serious criticism after they are said to misrepresent and "sugar-coat" portions of her record.

Overall: -9. Maya collapses just as Donovan picks up the support of Sanders and her seeming inevitability in uniting progressives fades away rapidly.

Sliwa blasts Mateo for his illegal donating of funds to Bill De Blasio’s re-election campaign.

Queens: 7/10. People like the rhetoric, viewing Sliwa as a moderate and respectable Republican who will work in the interests of the people.

Guardian Angels: 9/10. The Guardian Angels do their magic, stopping a handful of crimes and putting Sliwa in the news.

Mateo Attack: 4/10. The attack just doesn't seem to land.

Overall: +5. Sliwa gathers some strong momentum.

Sliwa Attack: 3/10. It seems like Republican primary voters aren't up for a bloody primary lately, with Mateo being seen as desperate for the attack.

Guliani: 1/10! It seems like the whole Trump inner-circle has learned to evade Mateo, with Guliani ignoring Mateo and actively calling him "insane" while talking to the press.

Maya Attack: 10/10! Attacking Wiley seems to be a boon for conservative Republicans as Mateo tears into her.

Overall: -2. Mateo fails to break through this turn, and suffers some losses which harm his campaign.

Paperboy Prince campaigns in Staten Island x2

PLP asks for the endorsement of the New York Times.

Staten Island: 11/20. Paperboy fails to break through or suffer any serious issues campaigning in the strange spot for the candidate, though there is some minor success talking to voters.

NYTs: 3/10. Paperboy does not find an audience with the editorial board. 

Overall: -1. Things go fairly meh for Paperboy, as they pick up some minor negative momentum.

Edit Notice: Paperboy's initial NYTs roll was 3, since I did them all together, but I accidentally rolled on it again. A correction has been made.

McGuire returns to law and order rhetoric with appeals to the police.

Meeks: 1/10! And just like that, all of Ray's work with Meeks is blown away, as McGuire seems stilted meeting him, spills his water on the Congressman, and says, "You'd probably be in a better position endorsing some other candidate, because we all know I'm a longshot here, and my campaign hasn't taken off yet, but I need your endorsement to help turn this ship around.", putting Meeks off to the idea that endorsing McGuire is even a safe political bet.

Bronx: 6/10. McGuire has a fair time in the Bronx, meeting a number of receptive Black voters.

Police: 6/10. The rhetoric appeals to moderates and conservatives, and does help McGuire gain some ground with the NYPD.

Overall: -3. Not the best turn for McGuire.

The New York Times either hates your candidate or is too indecisive to support them, I don't know what to tell you guys. Happy event making!

1.Yang will try again for NYT endorsement as last meeting wasn't that bad, attempting to sway them to settle for him as their candidate.

2.Yang emphasizes his background as a political outsider who will bring change in NYC politics and solve issues professional politicians failed to for decades at a rally in Bronx.

3.Yang releases series of online ads featuring people telling their life stories and how Yang's UBI would make life easier for them.

1. Mateo tries to obtain the NYT endorsement, claiming that the organization has rejected all the socialists and globalists so clearly there is only one superior option left!

2. Mateo puts up signs, billboards, and bumper stickers with the words “Mateo: Trump Approved” on them. Although technically never endorsed Trump would obviously prefer Mateo to Sliwa, so theres no need to ask permission first.

3. Mateo claims to have a copy of the Hunter Biden laptop files, in the hopes of getting prime time on Fox News.
