The Blood Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Republicans: 1. Hector Mendoza will call for Republicans to vote against the Democratic infrastructure bill unless certain Republican amendments limiting the spending and scope of the bill are passed, declaring that the legislation in its current form is just another attempt by the Democrats at increasing already bloated government spending with regard only for their own political gain. 2. Will Conway will announce the proposal of a bipartisan infrastructure bill in New York, demonstrating that the issue is something which the states can handle just fine on their own without new Federal spending. 3. The RNC will continue its 50-state push, announcing an increase to spending and attention to even urban areas such as New York City and Los Angeles. Business and Lobbies: 1. Having failed to get his energy proposal off the ground, Tusk will attempt to promote amendments to the Democrat infrastructure bill increasing spending and contracts in the energy sector to his benefit. 2. Marty Spinella will get back on the lobbying train, once again pushing for his education reform bill, warning of the consequences if the bill is not passed amid rising teacher stress and dissatisfaction.

Pringles Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Frank Events: 1. Frank will try to convince top Democrats that while public support for withdrawal in Afghanistan is good for the party, behind the scenes, they need to ensure President Walker doesn't withdraw. 2. Frank will come out in full support for the infrastructure bill. Hoping to exploit the situation and capitalize on HIM being the fighter that saved the bill and won the day. 3. Frank continues to cozy to the press and gives leaks to Zoe Barnes. Claire Events: 1. Claire continues her own scheme to cozy to the media and become more statesman/first lady like. 2. Claire continues to further the fundraising efforts of her own company. 3. Claire continues the scheme to undermine the present Administration on the issue of the environment.

Rodja Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) MAY-JULY 2013 TURN ROLLS Walker meets UK PM Urquhart President Garret Walker @Sean F Kennedy :Rolls a 9! President Walker finally got first good news of his term as President.His meeting with PM Urquhart was fruitful and Walker seemed really statesmanlike which is a kind of good press he needed really badly.Strongest impression President Walker has from the meeting is that UK PM reminds him of someone he knows...😉 Usher-Underwood Meeting Mark Usher @WVProgressive :Rolls a 1!Frank and Mark meet in a safe location,where Mark offers Frank to work for him,pushing Usher’s interests in Congress for monetary compensation.Frank chuckled “You think that i am a whore?”Mark replied”Mr.Underwood,i am offering you partnership,you are an intelligent,pragmatic leader,and i could describe myself with similar attributes.Let's work together!”. ”Partnership is one thing,what you are asking for is entirely different.You think you can control me with your money!Well,let me tell you something pal.I have power!And you know what we say in Gaffney: Money is the McMansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after ten years.Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries.I can not respect someone that doesn’t see the difference. And know one thing Mark,i know some stuff about you,stuff you wouldn’t like to see leaked to the press,so be careful about your next move.Goodbye!” Matthews hits the GOP VP Jim Matthews @Sean F Kennedy :Rolls a 7! Vice President Matthews used his starpower to throw some hits GOP’s way.This haven’t changed a lot of voters mind but attack lines did ring a bell in the media for couple of days. Underwood-Walker Meeting organized by Matthews VP Jim Matthews @Sean F Kennedy:Rolls a 8! VP Matthews successfully brought Frank Underwood and President Walker together and pushed them to forget their problems from the past and work together to pass infrastructure bill and beyond.The 3 men reach a deal to work as a team pushing Democrats agenda and hold joint press conference afterwards. Conway Infrastructure Bill Will Conway @The Blood:Rolls a 5! Governor Conway attempted to draft his local bipartisan alternative to Walker administration infrastructure bill.It passed the NY State assembly,fascinating Conway fans who call on him to run for President in 2016 but not making much impact on the broader electorate. Infrastructure Bill President Garret Walker @Sean F Kennedy:Rolls a 7! Speaker Bob Birch @Sean F Kennedy:Rolls a 1! Hector Mendoza @The Blood:Rolls a 3! Raymond Tusk @The Blood:Rolls a 8! Frank Underwood @Pringles :Rolls a 6! Infrastructure bill comes as a biggest legislative item and chance for success for the Walker administration and as such attracted attention of many major power players.Mr.Raymond Tusk used his influence in Congress to successfully lobby amendments to infrastructure bill benefiting his interests in energy sector mainly due to support from Speaker Birch.Where success for Tusk starts,problems for Birch and Democrats do as well,Tusk supported amendments Birch added to bill cause uproar among progressive Democrats who announce they will now oppose the bill as a whole and even call for Birch to resign speakership.President Walker upset about his first potential legislative success failing starts touring the country holding town halls about the bill,Walker Town halls slightly moved a needle in public support for newly controversial infrastructure bill.Frank Underwood seeing the situation unravelling recognised the opportunity for himself to save the bill and become a hero for Democrats.His efforts didn't go unnoticed,he had multiple TV appearances on the topic and he successfully swayed the votes of quite a few progressive Democrats and even one Republican,but all that wasn't enough.The bill failed with 209-226 voting margin.This is bad news for Democrats as their major legislative push failed,especially bad for Speaker Birch who many see as a cause of the failure for caving in to big business interests. Russo vs Underwood Peter Russo @Sean F Kennedy: Rolls a 5! Russo attempts to undermine Underwood’s influence in the party but is unsuccessful given Frank’s strong connections in the party.Frank intercepts Russo in the parking lot one night and said”You were warned but it seems like your brain is too burned by cocaine to take it seriously.”Russo,drunk,turned behind himself to see his political rival and replied”Fuck you Frank.I live to see you in dirt where you belong.You dont deserve to be whip,i should be whip!”.Frank grinned”You really don't understand Peter,i can destroy you and your entire miserable career,as well as your entire life in any single moment i want.”Peter replied”Then do it,but know i won't go down without a fight!”Frank chuckled”Oh Peter,it is much more entertaining to watch you destroy yourself and when you come to the edge i will just give you a little push.Take care Peter.”,he said entered the car and left Peter watching him drive away.Peter shouted ”Go to hell!” at Frank’s vehicle .”See you there!”Frank yelled back through the window. RNC NYC and LA Push RNC @The Blood :Rolls a 5! The push barely moves a needle in two deep blue cities but it still is some result for GOP in that area. Spinella Education Push Marty Spinella @The Blood:Rolls a 3! Spinella's efforts to push education reform fell on deaf ears in Washington,making him call for the teachers union to act.. Barnes Gets Promoted...Almost! Zoe Barnes @WVProgressive :Rolls a 1! Zoe gladly accepts the new position and is very enthusiastic to go to her new office tomorrow morning,but her enthusiasm wont last long.Large group of her colleagues including Janine Skorsky disagreed with Hammershmidt’s decision to promote her and threatened to leave Herald if she is not removed as Head WH Correspondent.Hammerschmidt obliged,asked Zoe for her resignation from the position and go back to her old job as ordinary journalist.Zoe rejects and resigns from Herald altogether,pledging to launch her own media network!Will Zoe succeed? Durant meets UN Ambassadors Catherine Durant @Hestia:Rolls a 5! Sec.Durant gets in a war of words with Russian Ambassador Alexi Moryakov with no winner at all. Dunbar for Senate Heather Dunbar @Sean F Kennedy:Rolls a 8! US Solicitor General Heather Dunbar announced she is running for the US Senate representing the state of Delaware in 2014.Her announcement makes major headlines as her anti-corruption progressive message attracts voters in large numbers.She portrays herself as progressive prosecutor ready to challenge the system and fight corruption in both major parties. Frank and Zoe Frank Underwood @Pringles:Rolls a 1! Lucas Goodwin @WVProgressive:Rolls a 7! Frank met with Zoe to give her new leaks from Washington to publish concerning backroom deals regarding failed infrastructure bill just to find out she left Herald to start building her own media network.Frank isn't very happy with her decision,his reaction was explosive,he grabbed Zoe's throat and uttered"We had what we needed in Herald but you acted like a brat and destroyed it!Do you realise you are now fucking unemployed thanks to your ego?!You either fix this mess or you are done!"Zoe was terrified by Frank’s reaction,but neither of them knew that a hobo was careful listening to their conversation.Hobo wasn't a hobo at all,it was Lucas Goodwin spying on Frank Underwood attempting to expose him.He recorded this meeting,but decided not to publish it until he has more information about Frank since he is convinced there are more incriminating information to expose. Durant meets Democrats Catherine Durant @Hestia :Rolls a 3! Sec.Durant didn’t get a particularly warm welcome at Capitol.She has a clear foreign political vision but many amongst her party her their own ideas and are not ready to unite behind her agenda.Majority Whip Frank Underwood is amongst those voicing support for her but that doesn’t do much to help. Janine Interviews Mendoza Janine Skorsky @WVProgressive :Rolls a 3! Janine was aggressive and pushy with Mendoza,just like she was with the President.Republicans are no longer her fans,but most people now understand she wasn’t biased against the President,it's just her style of journalism that's a bit of aggressive Jane in Virginia Jane Davis @WVProgressive:Rolls a 7! Jane has an ear of Virginia business leaders and could be able to influence affairs in the state going forward,but it’s just 1 out of 50. Durant pushes for trade with EU Catherine Durant @Hestia :Rolls a 3! Sec.Durant’s push is not welcomed by the President since it would ship some jobs overseas and the administration doesn’t really need Donald Blythe and progressives turning on them. Claire Underwood Stateswoman Claire Underwood(@Pringles):Rolls a 7! Claire appears in a series of TV interviews trying to build on her stateswomanlike image.It is well received amongst people but pundits criticise her as a desperate narcissist attention seeker. Claire undermines America Part 2. Claire Underwood @Pringles :Rolls a 2! Gillian Cole,Claire's idealistic employee found out that CWI is involved in areas which caused environmental problems for America.She challenged Claire directly calling her "evil deranged hypocrite" and informing her she will speak out about what she found out.Claire stood up,gently stroke Gillian's hair and replied"Gillian,you are pregnant.I’m willing to let your child wither and die inside of you if that’s what’s required.So be careful about what you do if you want your child to live.Now sit down and listen to me."Gillian obliged terrified by Claire's cold-blooded threat.Claire offered her to leave the company but stay silent in exchange for monetary compensation.Gillian,accepted as she had no other choice,leaving the office she mumbled"I hate you". CWI Fundraisers Claire Underwood @Pringles :Rolls a 9! Claire's NGO continues to rise large sums of money from big and small donors alike. Underwood Afghanistan Play Frank Underwood @Pringles:Rolls a 8! Underwood adopts chameleon strategy of publicly supporting Afghanistan withdrawal while whiping against it behind the scenes This way his approval amongst both progressive voters and political establishment increases.Donald Blythe is furious but decides not to get in conflict with Frank publicly.

Rodja Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 In previous post you can see rolls for all events with detailed stories,this is just the shortest highlights MAY-JULY 2013 SHORT SUMMARY Player 1:@Pringles FU(Frank Underwood,Doug Stamper) Frank had very interesting 2 months as he had tense meetings with Usher and Russo as well as Zoe Barnes.His public approval rating increases as he is seen as strong fighter for infrastructure bill and progressive leader for Afghanistan withdrawal,policy he is actually whiping against behind the scenes.Greatest threat to Frank's growing influence is controversial journalist Lucas Goodwin who is trying to expose him. Player 2: @Pringles CU(Claire Underwood) Claire is still a media star and successful fundraiser.She got into some trouble when her employee Gillian Cole found out about her machinations with US resources,but she solved the problem with extremely creepy threat. Player 3: @Sean F Kennedy Administration(President Garret Walker,VP Jim Matthews,Chief of Staff Linda Sanchez) Walker administration suffered a defeat of their infrastructure legislation,but these 2 months weren't that bad.President Walker had very successful meeting with UK PM Urquhart,and VP Matthews started using his popularity to actively influence events in Washington. Player 4:@WVProgressive Media(Tom Hammerschmidt,Zoe Barnes,Lucas Goodwin,Janine Skorsky) It was very interesting and tense 2 months when we look at our media scene.Hammerschmidt named young star Zoe Barnes Chief WH Correspondent but withdrew that decision soon after revolt from her older colleagues,making Zoe leave Herald altogether,leaving her future uncertain.Janine continues her aggressive interview style.Lucas records Frank and Zoe and pledges to continue investigating Frank until he exposes him. Player 5:@Sean F Kennedy Democrats(Bob Birch,Peter Russo,Jackie Sharp,Donald Blythe,Heather Dunbar) Not good 2 months for Democrats especially Speaker Birch who is blamed by many for infrastructure bill failure.Peter Russo continues his crusade against Underwoods.Heather Dunbar enters the race for Senate,making many wonder can she succeed? Player 6:@The Blood Republicans(Will Conway,Hector Mendoza,General Ted Brockhart) Not bad 2 months for GOP but not good either.Conway passes NY Infrastructure bill,RNC attempts to organize in NYC and LA and Mendoza tried to stop Infrastructure Bill but it were Democrats who killed it before he could even try. Player 7:@The Blood Buisness and Lobbies(Raymond Tusk,Remy Danton,Shepherds,Marty Spinella) Tusk succeeded in adding his amendments to failed infrastructure bill proving he still has influence.Spinella fails to appeal to lawmakers again Player 8: @Hestia Catherine Durant Sec.Durant had more rocky 2 months than she is used to,having tension with both Russians and her own party. Player 9:@WVProgressive Behind the Scene Players(Mark Usher,Jane Davis) Usher had a very unpleasant meeting with Frank,Jane gains influence in VA state politics.

Rodja Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 You can now post your 2-5 events for each player you control since we are ready to kick off JULY-SEPTEMBER 2013 TURN! @Pringles @Sean F Kennedy @The Blood @WVProgressive @Hestia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVProgressive Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Media: Barnes: Zoe Barnes will begin making painstaking documentation of all of her future meetings wil Frank Underwood, hoping that it will protect her in the sense that if she goes down, Frank will go down as well. Goodwin: Lucas Goodwin will continue his investigations into the Underwoods, targeting Claire Underwood's ex-employee Gillian Cole, hoping that she would be able to provide dirt on Claire, and Frank Underwood. Knowing that publically speaking out against powerful people like the Underwoods could be dangerous, he ensures her that she will remain anonymous. Skorsky: Janine will fully embrace her abrasive, no holds barred style of reporting, portraying herself as 'the people's voice' in the Washington Media. Insiders: Jane Davis: Jane Davis will continue to try and build influence among Virginia companies. Mark Usher: Mark Usher will approach Peter Russo, hoping that their shared opposition to Underwood can be spun into a strong partnership.

The Blood Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Republicans: 1. Inspired by the passage of Conway's bill in New York, moderate Congressional Republicans will propose their own infrastructure bill with the failure of the Democrats' proposal. Focusing on limited spending, grants to states, and "hard infrastructure" which repairs America's faltering bridges and roads while not addressing issues like environmental-friendliness and green development, the new "Build America Back" plan will be launched with the hopes of attracting centrist and moderate support from the Democratic side. 2. Curtis Haas will hold a speaking tour focused on what he calls the, "dysfunction of Washington" and the need to restrict the Federal government in its reckless spending and abandonment of the Constitution's very ideals. 3. The RNC will continue its push in urban centers, hoping to broaden the party's reach into more areas. Lobbyists: 1. Marty Spinella will warn Congressional Democrats that he will have to recommend, "drastic measures" to the American Federation of Teachers if their concerns are not heard, saying that the time is running out and this will be the last plea he makes for his education proposal. 2. Tusk, while disappointed by the failure of the Democrats' infrastructure bill, is now confident in his Congressional influence, and will do the same to the new Republican proposal as he did with the Democrats' plan.

Pringles Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Frank Events: 1. Frank will use contacts within the FBI to take care of a nutjob like Lucas Goodwin... meaning monitor him. And bait him into getting arrested as his growing obsession with Frank continues. 2. Frank will attempt to put Zoe in her place. Before the cats claws grow too large... and thus, he must cut them off. 3. Frank will continue working on his image in Congress, and solidifying his grip over Democratic colleagues. 4. Frank will hear Marty Spinellas education proposal. Even if he doesn't like the son of a bitch. If it shuts him up. Good. Claire Events: 1. Claire begins attempting to cause some relationship drama within the WH. Exploiting the President's wife and making it seem like the POTUS is growing unfaithful. 2. Claire continues to work on her environmental scheme. This time targeting oil assets to drive gas prices high and cause the POTUS to be even more unpopular. 3. Claire uses her own agency to push the idea of a major infrastructure bill being passes after the most recents failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
