MrPotatoTed Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I thought it might be fun to brainstorm a list of potential "achievements" for @vcczar's "A More Perfect Union" game. These can be serious or silly. For example... "A Date That Will Live In Infamy" -- Declare War on a nation that attacks you first. "One Small Step For Man" -- Be President when the US becomes first to put a man on the moon "The Buck Stops Here" -- Veto 100 proposed bills in the course of a single game. "Speak Softly, and Carry a Big Stick" -- Achieve a peace agreement immediately before war was about to break out "And When Did He Know It?" -- Be Impeached "My God, What Have You Done" -- Get every member of the Trump family elected President @ConservativeElector2 @Beetlejuice @Cal @DakotaHale @Dobs @Edouard @Fbarbarossa @Hestia @Patine @Rezi @Rodja @Sean F Kennedy @WVProgressive @Zenobiyl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 "Walk Into a Bar..." Have a Christian, Muslim, Jew, and Atheist serve in one cabinet. "Home Field Advantage" Win a presidential election where a candidates home state tipped them over the line in the electoral college that they would have lost without their home state bonus. "Look at me, I'm the President now!" While controlling the Vice President and the President is controlled by a different faction, assume the presidency either through the 25th Amendment, impeachment, resignation, or death of the President. "Not Worth a Bucket of..." Have one Vice President serve under 3 different presidents. "If at First You Don't Succeed," Win the Presidency on your 2nd attempt. "The Family Business" Have a President and Vice President with the same surname. "A State's Right to What, Exactly?" As a Northerner, avoid the Civil War by expanding slavery to the entire union. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
