[Illuminati Blood Drinker]

As William McKinley I tried an unorthodox strategy of reaching out to moderates by letting WJB's spirit inhabit my body.

It did not work:





Still, I won ignominious states like...New Hamsphire...Massachusetts...Vermont?

[Mechaman]

Hahaha, yeah this.

Granted, I play the 80 question game every single time, but I've never been able to win as Bryan much less get a landslide victory of that magnitude.  Kudos sir, I am in utter awe.

[Illuminati Blood Drinker]

I copied Snowstalker's strategy of running Nixon as a moderate hero with VP Agnew and it worked out pretty well:

I rarely play 80 questions. Too many chances to screw up lol

[Illuminati Blood Drinker]

I ran Humphrey as a liberal hero with Kennedy as VP, destroyed Nixon in the debates, exposed his treason and won a decisive victory at the polls:

[Pessimistic Antineutrino]

Decided to go on Campaign Trail again after taking a break. I tried 1896 a couple of times. The first two were absolute failures, getting in the 27.7th percentile both times. The next time no results showed up. Getting pissed, I blew through a 13 question game hoping not to fail this time.

I got 44th.

[Illuminati Blood Drinker]

I'm more amazed at the fact you lost the 1896 scenario as McKinley. You literally just have to be not-stupid and it's golden, come on.

[Pessimistic Antineutrino]

I didn't, actually. You'd have to be in the 10th percentile or below to lose. I did about as well as IRL except I lost Kentucky (extremely narrowly both times). Both times I would be leading in the Dakotas and West Coast with Missouri, Kansas and Virginia as tossups, then collapse at the last minute leaving me with a relatively poor result.

You don't just have to be not-stupid to win as McKinley. You only lose if you legitimately try to.

Interesting that you won Vermont, I usually only win it in a 400+ landslide. I rarely choose Kennedy though.

The server for americanhistoryusa.com is currently down!

Maybe that means that another election game is being added?

Or maybe I'm being way too optimistic about a 503 Service Unavailable message.

[Sec. of State Superique]

Badgate, don't ignore me.

[badgate]

Badgate, don't ignore me.

I didn't.

Ah, ok! I sent you a message anyway!
