The Blood Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Republicans: Hector Mendoza(R-AZ) will criticize President Walker's recent call for "the expansion of Healthcare", stating that the only way to truly expand proper healthcare coverage in America is to let the power of the free market take charge to ensure competition and lower prices. Will Conway(R-NY) will announce the release of his new book, "The Call of Service", a half biography describing his time in the air force and rise in politics to the Governor's mansion, and half manifesto calling for a moderate and ideologically inclusive GOP which, "Answers its call of service in protecting the rights and liberties of the American people." Conway will announce the dates for an official book tour promoting the work. Curtis Haas(R-WY) will announce a series of small-dollar fundraisers to whip-up support from Tea Party and movement conservatives for the Republican Party. Business and Lobbies: Raymond Tusk will find himself in contact with the Walker Admin and Congress, lobbying for the creation and passage of a new energy proposal promoting nuclear energy and giving new tax credits and contracts favorable to him. Martin Spinella will work with Democrats in Congress to push for a new bill raising teacher pay and protections, stating that he's deeply concerned with whether the conditions for those he represents can go on.

Pringles Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) 1. Frank will act gracious in front of the President, and apologize for any hint of him being selfish. However, Frank knows better... and immediately begins to work on solidifying his hold on Democratic Representatives. 2. Claire Underwood begins a scheme to undermine American environmental assets around the globe, in hopes of pinning the blame on Walker. 3. Frank meets with Donald Blythe to see if he can soften up the ultra-liberal wing of the party. 4. Frank attempts to gain allies in the news who he will begin leaking some very valuable information too within the foreseeable future... 5. Claire begins fundraising for her organization... how that money will be used in the future... well, we'll see 😛 Edited October 28, 2021 by Pringles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should make separate 2-5 events for Frank and Claire.This counts as 3 events for Player 1(FU) and one event for Player 2(CU).You should add at least one more for Claire and if you want you can add more for Frank as well but you don't have to.

Thank you for quick response.I will now be able to complete rolls for this turn and proceed soon.For next turn just remember that Frank and Claire are two separate players even though you control them both so you should post their events separately.

Rodja Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) JANUARY-MARCH 2013 TURN ROLLS Walker-Underwood Meeting President Garret Walker @Sean F KennedyRolls a 9! Frank Underwood @PringlesRolls a 2! President Walker wasn’t particularly friendly to Frank behind closed doors,blaming him for orchestrating the downfall of his Secretary of State nominee Michael Kern,which is of course a correct assumption made by very good political instincts of our President.Frank,of course got a way to get himself out of this situation,shifting the blame on Catherine Durant and pledging his absolute loyalty to Walker Administration and the Democratic party which convinced the President for the time being,but President Walker is the one who walks out of this meeting as the winner since Frank will now need to work in interest of his administration to not make the suspicion come back on him,but does this really mean Frank will work for Garret or will he just make a new plan behind the President’s back? Walker Healthcare Push President Garret Walker @Sean F Kennedy Rolls a 2! Hector Mendoza @The Blood Rolls a 4! President Walker’s push for expanding healthcare ends up being a failure after he fails to unite various factions of his party.Oh,Garret you didn't realize how hard being a President is when you signed up for it did you?Republican Senate Leader Mendoza tried to use the President's failure to promote the GOP free market but didn’t really resonate with voters. Congressional Leadership Meeting President Garret Walker @Sean F Kennedy Rolls a 5! Bob Birch @Sean F Kennedy Rolls a 5! Lucas Goodwin @WVProgressiveRolls a 2! Mark Usher @WVProgressiveRolls a 10! First meeting between President Walker and Democratic leadership was a very interesting one.Before the meeting started Secret Service caught a man trying to bug a room in Capitol building where the meeting was supposed to happen,the man was identified as Lucas Goodwin,journalist of Washington Herald and was escorted out by the police,transmitting him to DC prison where he will stay waiting for the final sentence which will be either a heavy money fine or two years in prison.After this tense overture,meeting was finally ready to begin.President Walker opened the meeting,but didn’t say anything that was particularly important or fascinating,it was just a typical boring meeting opener.He gave the word next to the man most attendees have never seen before,political strategist Mark Usher.Usher had very clear vision about way forward for the Democratic party,and already gained trust from the President and most of the Democratic leadership by the end of his statement.Usher has definitely earned his role as a major player in DC at this meeting.Bob Birch,Speaker of the House took opportunity to praise Frank Underwood at this meeting but it didn't make any impact on minds of the present,since almost everybody was certain it's part of some game or the deal between the two. Matthews Interviews VP Jim Matthews @Sean F KennedyRolls a 10! Vice President Matthews had fantastic two months going from being in shadow of his boss President Walker to being a complete media rock star.Will he be the shining star or shooting star?Its yet to be seen. Dem Fundraisers Democrats @Sean F KennedyRolls a 5! Congressional Democrats raise just an average sum,nothing more nothing less. Hammerschmit-Brockhart Interview Tom Hammerschmit @WVProgressive Rolls a 8! Hammerschmidt interviewed General Brockhart very professionally,which Washington Herald needed badly to restore its reputation after the Goodwin scandal. Walker-Durant Meeting Catherine Durant @Hestia Rolls a 2! President Walker convinced by meeting with Frank blames Durant for Mr.Kern’s downfall.The meeting was very tense and relationship between the President and his Secretary could best be described as frenemies right now. Durant Morning Show Apperances Catherine Durant @Hestia Rolls a 6! Sec.Durant was likable but didn’t make too much of an impact on viewers minds. Durant State Department Officials Meeting Catherine Durant @Hestia Rolls a 2! Professional diplomats heavily dislike Sec.Durant since they preferred Michael Kern and consider her to be a scheme player. Durant Canada Visit Catherine Durant @Hestia Rolls a 10! Catherine Durant proved herself as a fantastic diplomat on her trip negotiating a very profitable trade deal!Her performance is praised throughout the political spectrum and she has proven her doubters wrong Barnes-Underwood Relationship Zoe Barnes @WVProgressive Rolls a 8! Frank Underwood@Pringles Rolls a 10! Young Washington Herald journalist Zoe Barnes got herself in the dangerous business of investigative journalism,trying to expose corruption of Democratic Whip Frank Underwood.She investigated his links in Gaffney and some corrupt activities in DC and got herself on the track where she could trace a scandal,determined to push until the end,until she got an unexpected visit one night from Frank Underwood himself.His allies from his hometown of Gaffney informed him about young journalist investigating him.He assured her he is not here to threaten but to negotiate a mutually beneficial partnership,she deletes the folder with information on him and he becomes her DC source leaking many valuable information about behind the scene events.Zoe thinks a bit but decides to accept the offer since she believes that it will be great for her journalistic career,not knowing what she just got herself into.After she accepts the offer,Frank compliments her as being both beautiful and smart and the two spend a night together. Jane Davis and Republicans Jane Davis @WVProgressive Rolls a 4! Jane succeeded in getting some connections with Mendoza’s staffers,but the majority of GOP congressmen and their aides are very skeptical about trusting her. Spinella Legislation Push Marty Spinella @The Blood Rolls a 5! Spinella pushes for Education reform,nothing comes out of it but empty promises and statements by DC Democrats. Tusk lobbying White House Raymond Tusk @The Blood Rolls a 4! Tusk got assurance from President Walker that his interests will be kept in mind,but that he can't help him yet,he needs to be patient.Tusk is not too happy with this answer. Haas Fundraisers Curtis Haas @The Blood Rolls a 7! Haas fundraisers were a bit more successful than average Tea Party fundraisers,giving him hopes he could be influential player and potential candidate in 2016. Conway Book Tour Will Conway @The Blood Rolls a 3! Conway book is well read and accepted by readers up until the moment writer Thomas Yates appears on CNN and claims Conway paid him to write a book on his behalf.Conway is mercilessly mocked in the media after this revelation. Underwood-Blythe Meeting Frank Underwood @Pringles Rolls a 6! Frank and Donald dislike each other,but Blythe is an idealist with a line of pragmatic,so he agrees to work with Frank as long as he is at least open to some of his very liberal agenda. Claire undermining America Claire Underwood @Pringles Rolls a 10! The time for Underwoods striking back has come!Claire makes a secret scheme using her foundation as a prop to severely damage US environmental assets in a way nobody can trace it back to her.It causes a public outrage with media blaming President Walker for the disaster while Frank and Claire watch television at home smoking cigarettes by the window and smiling at their revenge starting to unravel. Claire Fundraises for CWI Claire Underwood @Pringles Rolls a 6! With ongoing environmental disaster people feel a need to help an environmental NGO like CWI so Claire’s foundation gets slight increase in donations.

Rodja Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) In previous post you can see rolls for all events with detailed stories,this is just the shortest highlights JANUARY-MARCH 2013 SHORT SUMMARY Player 1:@Pringles FU(Frank Underwood,Doug Stamper) Frank succeeded in getting President's suspicions away from himself turning him on Sec.Durant instead.His relationship with Ms.Barnes he got in after finding out she wanted to expose him could prove crucial in his future plans as she is now his main ally in the world of media. Player 2: @Pringles CU(Claire Underwood) Claire had fantastic two months.She has proven herself to be talented con artist by causing the environmental crisis to get revenge on behalf of her husband and later fundraising off the same disaster she caused.Beware of this dangerous woman... Player 3: @Sean F Kennedy Administration(President Garret Walker,VP Jim Matthews,Chief of Staff Linda Sanchez) President Walker had turbulent beginning of his presidency with no honeymoon period at all.His healthcare push failed,he doesnt know who to trust and last but not the least he has literal environmental crisis to deal with.VP Matthews,unlike his boss,had very good 2 months enjoying his media popularity Player 4:@WVProgressive Media(Tom Hammerschmidt,Zoe Barnes,Lucas Goodwin,Janine Skorsky) Washington Herald had rocky 2 months after their journalist Lucas Goodwin was arrested for trying to wiretap the meeting between the President and Congressional Democrats.Zoe Barnes got herself in relationship with Frank Underwood,which is a story that can develop in many different ways,just depends how smart and careful young Zoe will play. Player 5:@Sean F Kennedy Democrats(Bob Birch,Peter Russo,Jackie Sharp,Donald Blythe,Heather Dunbar) Democrats had just an average 2 months.They have to support a weak President going forward,and they also have the new chief strategist Mr.Usher whose true intentions nobody knows for sure but who won over the President and Dem leadership. Player 6:@The Blood Republicans(Will Conway,Hector Mendoza,General Ted Brockhart) Republicans have no clear leader as Mendoza messages dont resonate with voters,Conway is mocked for not writing his book.Curtis Haas is their best bet right now but we we will see how things develop,it is still early on. Player 7:@The Blood Buisness and Lobbies(Raymond Tusk,Remy Danton,Shepherds,Marty Spinella) Tusk is put on hold by the President he helped elect,he will wait patiently but not for too long.Spinella and his union tries to push education reform but all they got was pat on the back. Player 8: @Hestia Catherine Durant Sec.Durant is not most popular member of her own administration with both President and career diplomats blaming her for backstabbing Kern,but she proves to be very effective Secretary of State on her Canada trip. Player 9:@WVProgressive Behind the Scene Players(Mark Usher,Jane Davis) Jane makes some inroads with Republicans,while Usher quickly becomes major player among Democrats You can now post your 2-5 events for each player you control since we are ready to kick off MARCH-MAY 2013 TURN!

The Blood Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Republicans: 1. Republicans will begin pushing for various right-to-work laws in states across America, supporting the pet cause in response to the Walker Admin's push in favor of unions. Hector Mendoza will say on the record that, "We need to find ways to uplift the worker, and I have to be honest that bloated, oppressive unions may not be the best way to do that. Perhaps the path to a better situation for our workers isn't always the most apparent." 2. Curtis Haas will keep up his activist activities, this time organizing a series of Tea Party protests across the nation as he advocates for cutting taxation and spending, "To the most feasible degree possible." and pushes for a flat tax as the "fair" alternative to the current system. 3. The Republican National Committee will announce a new, "50-state strategy", devoting resources to every state in the union beyond mere swing states in the hope of improving downballot results for the party. They will point to victories like Conway's election as New York Governor as the possibilities if the strategy works. Lobbyists: 1. Walter Tusk will keep up the pressure pushing for his pet energy proposal, offering extensive reelection support to members of Congress for signing onto the proposal. 2. Remy Danton will begin working with various Congressional members to support new legislation loosening regulations on natural gas drilling on behalf of SanCorp, offering hefty sums to reelection campaigns in order for the proposal to be backed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodja Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) @Pringles @Sean F Kennedy @WVProgressive @The Blood @Hestia It was a very interesting turn,with so much stuff going on.This is getting really exciting! MARCH-MAY 2013 TURN ROLLS CWI Gala Claire Underwood @Pringles: Rolls a 10! CWI Gala gathers all the big shots,politicians,rich guys,Hollywood stars.Claire’s foundation is really cashing in on environmental crises she herself created. Claire Underwood Promotes...Herself! Claire Underwood @Pringles : Rolls a 10! CWI Gala and numerous standalone TV appearances on environmental issues caused Claire’s popularity to soar making her much more popular than First Lady Patricia Walker or even President Garret Walker.Claire’s name is even mentioned in some polls for potential 2016 Dem primary if President Walker doesn’t run,although she negates any interest in running for political office,for now. Jane gets Lucas out of jail Jane Davis @WVProgressive:Rolls a 5! Jane successfully pulls strings to get Lucas out of prison,and takes him to her Washington apartment.She asks for his loyalty but Lucas stubborn as he is rejects,telling Jane that she tried to bribe him with liberty.She gets in his face and tells him he can reject the bribery but will soon be back where he belongs and that she is his only hope to be a free man.He takes a deep breath and asks her to let him go home so he can think about her offer,she obliged telling him to call her to inform her about his decision.He calls her in the morning,saying he will work with her but within his moral boundaries,she smiles and tells him he is a smart boy and should know that boundaries of his freedom are within her control,than hangs up. Usher sends gift baskets Mark Usher @WVProgressive:Rolls a 7! Usher quickly rose to be a very trusted and respected ally in Democratic circles in DC and this little token of appreciation just helps. Skorsky interviews the President Janine Skorsky @WVProgressive: Rolls a 3! Janine invited President for a pro-administration cakewalk interview,but that is not the welcome Garret got when he arrived,Janine was straightforward aggressive and provocative towards the President asking tough questions and blaming him for environmental crisis even going that far to straight out call him incompetent,after that verbal slip President walked off the interview.Janine’s performance at this interview was widely criticised by most commentators as biased against the President,but earned her praise amongst Republicans. Matthews goes to Scranton VP Jim Matthews @Sean F Kennedy:Rolls a 9! Vice President Matthews' visit to his hometown of Scranton went great as he was greeted by an electrified audience and his message of support for unions greatly resonated.Poll numbers show Matthews as one of most popular modern Vice Presidents. Durant meets Democrats Catherine Durant @Hestia :Rolls a 4! Sec.Durant is a very good diplomat but not that great of a schmoozer,her meeting with Democratic congressmen wasn’t a bad one,but some of them were just visibly bored and wanted to get out of here. Hammerschmidt Editor Policy Tom Hammerschmidt @WVProgressive :Rolls a 3! While Hammerschmidt is a true old fashioned journalist whose main cause is truth and facts,many of his reporters are biased for one of the major parties,so his plea remains unheard.Goodwin incident doesn’t help Herald’s reputation either. Durant UN Speech Catherine Durant @Hestia:Rolls a 6! Sec.Durant gave an alright speech promoting US foreign political agenda but failed to even mention the ongoing environmental crisis. Durant Mexico Trip Catherine Durant @Hestia:Rolls a 7! Sec.Durant trip to Mexico was fairly successful but didn't succeed to reprise her success from Canada.Durant’s performance as Secretary of State is very satisfying so far. Frank works on image Frank Underwood @Pringles :Rolls a 8! Frank tours the red and swing states promoting himself as a moderate Democrat who gets things done.The tour resonated well with moderates and independents,but was called out as unnecessary self promotion by some pundits. Tea Party Protests Curtis Haas @The Blood :Rolls a 1! Curtis Haas, motivated by his fundraising success, attempts to organize protests across the country,but his call for action fails miserably as just few of tens of radicals show up for each protest, making him cancel them altogether. RNC 50 state Strategy RNC @The Blood:Rolls a 7! RNC promotion of 50 state strategy is relatively successful and makes GOP competitive in the next year’s midterms. Right to Work Laws Republicans @The Blood:Rolls a 3! Republicans led by Hector Mendoza try to push the state governments to pass union busting Right to Work laws but the campaign is largely unsuccessful. Walker Bipartisan Meeting President Garret Walker @Sean F Kennedy:Rolls a 1! President Walker attempts to overturn his bad luck last two months by hosting bipartisan event in the Oval Office to try to find bipartisan area of interest he could push the Congress to pass and score major legislative victory.Unfortunately,meeting went in completely different direction with Mendoza mercilessly mocking the President entire meeting,and Democratic Majority Leader David Rasmussen joining him in one moment blaming the President for environmental crisis.President Walker achieved bipartisanship,but bipartisanship in opposition to him.He lost his temper,yelled”Screw you both!” and kicked them outside the office,he uttered to Rasmussen “You will pay for this!” Dem Leadership Vote President Garret Walker @Sean F Kennedy:Rolls a 4! Frank Underwood @Pringles :Rolls a 3! Peter Russo @Sean F Kennedy:Rolls a 2! President Walker requested an urgent meeting with Bob Birch after the failed bipartisan meeting in the Oval Office.He arrived with a simple demand for Speaker Birch:Remove David Rasmussen from his position as Majority Leader and replace him with Frank Underwood.Speaker Birch refused,reminding President “he is not the king” but promised he will put the issue on the vote and let congressmen decide about such an important issue.Frank tried to whip every vote he could in his favor.He bribed,threatened and blackmailed but in the end,Democrats ultimately chose to stick with their leader David Rasmussen and stick it to Frank and President Walker.Frank graciously conceded,congratulated David on his reelection and pledged to continue serving as Majority Whip,but Congressman Russo from Pennsylvania challenged him for his position in the party leadership,claiming he should be the new Whip,asking for Leader Rasmussen endorsement.David Rasmussen publicly endorsed Peter Russo to get his revenge on Frank for challenging him.It looked like Peter is set to beat Frank and become new House Whip,until Doug Stamper,Frank’s most loyal chief of staff found out some information about Congressman Russo’s cocaine addiction and history with prostitutes,Frank meets with Peter presenting him with the evidence and offers him a deal:”You drop your dumb race for the position that belongs me and i forget about all this,you go on and you are on a suicide mission.Tommorow,the entire country will know that you are cocaine addict who fucks prostitutes.It’s your choice.”After the meeting Congressman Russo conceded the race for Party Whip endorsing Frank Underwood to keep his office. Underwood-Denton Meeting Frank Underwood @Pringles:Rolls a 8! Frank meets with his former Chief of Staff Remy Denton in a safe location.Remy is now working as a lobbyist for Glendon Hill,company owned by Raymond Tusk.After a bit of small talk,Frank offers Remy a partnership.Frank will give Remy some useful information about members of his caucus,so that Remy can lobby them easier if Remy agrees to give Frank information about Republican congressmen from swing districts,he knows Remy has dirt on.Remy is first reluctant,but when he hears that Frank’s sacrificial lamb is Peter Russo who his boss needs not to testify about the shipyard,Remy quickly accepts the deal and gives Frank all the information he wanted. Stamper looks for Skeletons in GOP closets Doug Stamper @Pringles:Rolls a 5! Doug Stamper was on his way looking for skeletons in vulnerable Republican congressmen closets when Frank informed he already got all the information he needed from Remy Danton.Doug feels hurt,why didn't Frank trust him enough to let him handle it? Linda contacts Downing Street Linda Sanchez @Sean F Kennedy :Rolls a 9! Linda is an effective Chief of Staff and quickly arranges a visit from the British Prime Minister hoping a successful foreign political meeting will give at least a bit of good press to her boss’ troubled presidency. Barnes-Underwood Relationship Part.2 Zoe Barnes @WVProgressive:Rolls a 8! Frank quickly sent incriminating data Remy gave him about Republican senators to his partner from the media world Zoe Barnes.Zoe quickly writes and publishes articles which cause turbulence in DC and give her good reputation and numerous news networks appearances talking about “her revelations discovered by investigative journalism” as she describes them.Zoe becomes a star in media world and her partnership with Frank seems to be paying off so far,but for how long and what will happen when it no longer does?We’ll find out! Infrastructure Push Congressional Democrats @Sean F Kennedy:Rolls a 6! After the rough civil war amongst the party leadership Democrats found the cause to unite around in the Infrastructure Bill.The entire party supports the proposal but it will need some Republican support as well in order to pass. Tusk pushes Energy Reform to Loosen Regulation Raymond Tusk @The Blood:Rolls a 5! Remy Danton @The Blood:Rolls a 2! Tusk tries to push his energy reform pet cause once again but gets the same response,we’ll see,this time he gets the pledge from the President it will be the next thing considered after infrastructure bill is passed.Unhappy with the answer,Tusk sends Remy to lobby but Republicans he exposed to Frank blamed him for revelations against them and warned other Congressmen about him,so he lost trust and credibility and more harmed than helped Tusk’s cause.

Rodja Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 In previous post you can see rolls for all events with detailed stories,this is just the shortest highlights MARCH-MAY 2013 SHORT SUMMARY Player 1:@Pringles FU(Frank Underwood,Doug Stamper) Frank had a very tense two months,but survived unharmed.He earned himself a powerful new enemy in Majority Leader David Rasmussen,but he also have a new allies in Remy Danton and blackmailed into obedience Peter Russo.

Player 4:@WVProgressive Media(Tom Hammerschmidt,Zoe Barnes,Lucas Goodwin,Janine Skorsky) Zoe Barnes becomes media star after her "investigative journalism" delivers results with uncovering Republican congressmen scandal which is actually a benefit of her partnership with Frank Underwood.Lucas is out of prison,but he owes his freedom to Jane Davis.Janine Skorsky had tense interview with President Walker that ended abruptly and earned her criticism for unprofessional behavior but praise from GOP.Hammerschmidt tries to balance it all and restore Herald's reputation. Player 5:@Sean F Kennedy Democrats(Bob Birch,Peter Russo,Jackie Sharp,Donald Blythe,Heather Dunbar) Democrats had spectacularly rough 2 months.All out civil war amongst party leadership erupted and ended in a ceasefire,with all eyes now set at Infrastructure Bill. Player 6:@The Blood Republicans(Will Conway,Hector Mendoza,General Ted Brockhart) Curtis Haas rose to prominence just to falter this week by failing to organize protests.Right to Work Act campaign fell short.Success of 50 state strategy lights the glimmer of hope for GOP. Player 7:@The Blood Buisness and Lobbies(Raymond Tusk,Remy Danton,Shepherds,Marty Spinella) Tusk stagnates with his push for loosening energy restrictions and will have to wait some more to get what he wants. Player 8: @Hestia Catherine Durant Sec.Durant keeps up the good work.

WVProgressive Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Media: Tom Hammerschmidt will rejigger the Washington Herald's assignments based off of recent events; he makes Zoe Barnes the new Head Political Correspondent, and White House Correspondent, where she pursues a more conciliatory policy towards the Walker administration; he gives Janine Skorsky a special assignment to interview potential GOP Presidential Aspirants, hoping to capitalize on her newfound popularity with Republicans. Her first interviewee is Hector Mendoza; Lucas Goodwin he places on the notoriously uninteresting metropolitan pages, but that doesn't stop the controversial reporter from starting his own private investigations. Lucas Goodwin dresses in non-descript clothing to obscure his identity as he stalks Frank Underwood from the shadows, hoping to find bombshell evidence of corruption. Behind the Scenes: Mark Usher will approach Frank Underwood, trying to build a working relationship.
