NPC Elections - Rules and Results Thread

Thank you as always, Lumine.

Now if I can be a pain in the ass for a minute, when should we expect the first polls for September?

Beauty and Bread will continue its alliance with Labor in all future elections unless stated otherwise.

Would anybody be interested in a general party debate for NPC elections?

How would that work? The parties would inevitably be debating the same issues and saying the same things every month regardless of what states and cities are up. Debates are pretty pointless if they don't involve real players campaigning on their real records and ideas.

I also think that a national debate between parties kind of ruins the fun in campaigning in individual states. Like I would be a Labor surrogate to Alaska to talk about conserving their dividend program or go to West Virginia to talk about gun rights. The national Labor party all but officially supports gun control, but in my WV speech I said "Well we're different on this issue here and I can say that because I voted for gun rights myself."

And obviously Sev and Blairite are good surrogates for their respective parties in Los Angeles but not, say, Mississippi.

almost forgot

North Dakota State Election:

Another thing we need to consider is if monthly debates are something people intend on sticking to, because in all honesty I can see this playing out for maybe two, three elections at most and then it all falls apart. We don't have nearly enough people with the time and interest to conduct NPC campaigns, player campaigns, officeholding, and just about everything else. I had similar doubts about the ACLU and gun rights groups last year, and those lasted for about a month before everyone forgot about them and moved on.

We're already very fortunate to have a GM who is not only conducting these elections, but volunteered to do so himself and commit to it. We created the Office of the Comptroller General specifically to limit the workload of the GM.

North Dakota already voted, as an FYI.

My condolences to you and your family at this time, Lumine. Take all the time you need to heal.

The Green Party is dead but polling at 12% in Nebraska... *thonk*

Harry Hayfield is a member, having been the Midwestern Lt. Governor from November 2007 to ?, he still may hold some power.

The link is broken.

But in any case, John Engle was set to be the next Governor of Iowa and the Feds ratf#cked him for some boring generic backbencher. It is an injustice that the Feds control Iowa without John Engle at the helm. Very sad.

I agree with that and the fact that John Engle was replaced according to this is sad, especially by a nobody who probably doesn't exist and has no name

Indeed.

Guy people are horrible, but like Mr. Engle I pray for them. A Governor Engle would allow guy people to live their lifestyle instead of waging a culture war.

But, instead of embracing him, the right falsely accused him of being a troll and funded a libel campaign against him during the primary. And even then they barely managed to win Iowa, while Engle would've landslided it.

Now that we're officially in campaign season, when will the first round of polls be out?
