Yeah, he controls 1 state and half of another. CC is 1 vote for each state/colony. @DakotaHale is the only other person that controls a state/colony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 I put "CC" for all the remaining 3 players. @DakotaHale can opt to run Gorham of MA or Laurens of SC for President of the CC. Please pick one or opt to not run anyone. @SilentLiberty Has no one eligible. @themiddlepolitical Has no one eligible. Once @DakotaHale decides to run one of this two eligible politicians or opts not to run anyone, I can release the prompt for electing the President of the CC. No rush though.

vcczar Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Continental Congress votes for its president Each faction will vote for one of the following nominees for president of the Congress. Each state gets 1 vote. This means that if there isn't a majority vote within state delegation for a candidate, then the state abstains. This is easy to do with small states. The nominees are the following. You are not required to vote for your candidate: Thomas McKean of DE Henry Middleton of SC Richard Henry Lee of VA Thomas Jefferson of VA John Jay of NY Henry Laurens of SC Historically, the CC selected Peyton Randolph of VA to be the first President of the Continental Congress. Why might you've never have heard of him? He died in 1775. Here's a list of the delegates again, if you want to remember what states you influence: Pennsylvania: Thomas Scott @Cal William Maclay @themiddlepolitical Robert Brown @Rezi John Dickinson @Hestia Virginia: Richard Henry Lee @WVProgressive William Grayson @MrPotatoTed (BlueCPU) Thomas Jefferson @Rodja Theodorick Bland @Hestia Massachusetts: Francis Dana @ConservativeElector2 Samuel Adams @WVProgressive Artemas Ward @Cal Nathaniel Gorham @DakotaHale Maryland: Upton Sheredine @SilentLiberty Michael Jenifer Stone @Rezi Daniel of St Thomas Jenifer @SilentLiberty Charles Carroll of Carrollton @DakotaHale New York: William Floyd @Rodja Lewis Morris @DakotaHale John Jay @ConservativeElector2 South Carolina: Henry Middleton @MrPotatoTed (RedCPU) Ralph Izard @DakotaHale Henry Laurens @DakotaHale North Carolina: Hugh Williamson @themiddlepolitical Alexander Martin @MrPotatoTed (RedCPU) Timothy Bloodworth @MrPotatoTed (BlueCPU) Connecticut: Roger Sherman @SilentLiberty Eliphalet Dyer @ConservativeElector2 William Williams @DakotaHale New Jersey: William Paterson @ConservativeElector2 John Witherspoon @SilentLiberty Philemon Dickinson @SilentLiberty New Hampshire: Abiel Foster @Cal Samuel Livermore @ConservativeElector2 Rhode Island: Joseph Stanton Sr @Hestia Thomas Tillinghast @ConservativeElector2 Delaware: Thomas McKean @jvikings1 Caesar Rodney @SilentLiberty Georgia: John A Treutlen @WVProgressive George Matthews @ConservativeElector2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I of course support the honorable John Jay in his bid to lead our colony. The British have encroached too far, and Jay is surely the brightest of our minds to stand up to these unjust grievances. All that I would ask would be that the respectable Benedict Arnold be considered as a potential candidate for a future Continental Army. He is bright, young, and loyal to these fine colonies. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas McKean @jvikings1 Caesar Rodney @SilentLiberty Georgia: Jay 1, Lee 1 GA abstains! John A Treutlen @WVProgressive George Matthews @ConservativeElector2 The 29-year-old attorney from NY, John Jay is elected President of the Continental Congress with 5 votes. Richard Henry Lee wins 3 votes, while 5 states abstain, showing a lack of unity among the delegates. The small states are particularly conflicted, partially due to many colonies being in disarray. John Jay, 1st President of the Continental Congress. Jay loses the trait "obscure" as his name reaches the national and European papers as presiding over a Congress of wayward colonies. He fails in the roll for +1 more command. @ConservativeElector2 must now appoint a chair for each of the following committees. He can appoint anyone of any party or faction, so long as the person is a member of the Continental Congress and has the relevant expertise: There are 4 standard committees. Relevant expertise is in parentheses: Domestic (Education, Labor, Environment, Transportation, Agriculture, Energy, Welfare, Healthcare, Housing) Foreign/Military (Military, Naval, Foreign Affairs) Economics (Economics, Trade, Business) Judicial (Judicial) Following these appointments, I'll call for the Chairs to fill the membership under stricter rules. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
