NPC Elections - Rules and Results Thread

[Continential]

btw, Labor has a plurality in IL House of Reps. 56/118 misses the majority mark by 3 seats (for 50% flat) or 4 seats for non-tied.

Labor is allied with the Tricolor party.

Fis Nua will be allying itself with the Democratic Alliance in Fremont.

I've also, "spent the day" talking to Greens so I hope that has a effect.

In a debate, questions could be tailored to the specific issues that the states are dealing with during that month. If a party wishes to openly declare that they're willing to compromise outside of their usual national stance in order to appeal to a certain state's electorate, they can do it. It's not like showing a little bit of ideology would hurt Labor's bottom line anyway. 

And of course, it will let parties clarify the narrative when doing regular campaign events so that dishonest attacks can be highlighted since we've seen Labor attack other parties based on issues that are irrelevant to the game.

Bah. Y'all have done it too.

I won't speak for MB and party leadership but I do concur that this merely provides a platform for opposition parties to slander us, while also making tailoring campaigns for individual states impossible (as Scott said). Let's keep this NPC stuff to the campaign trail (though a reasonable compromise could be having Atlasia debates, such as the upcoming MB-Ninja Presidential debate, count for campaign points).

If you feel the other parties attack Labor unfairly you should support this, no? Or we can all just devolve into attacks and slander with no chance the refute any of it since we're all campaigning in a bubble anyway.

If you're saying we should give you and the Federalists a platform to attack Labor with slanderous drivel from two fronts, I'd respectfully decline. Get a life.

You forgot Peace exists

Also, you lost your life by registering on the then Atlas forum on November 15th, 2016 and I did on June 8th, 2018

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.

I was the guy who sort of “rebirthed” special interest groups and they felll because they had no use unlike real life ones, and the most successful one was the ACLO which died due to the strike being over.

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

I really don't like the culture of treating these elections like vote dumps as if one party does them, you have to do them.

You have to keep up with the other party’s attacks and speeches

While I understand this is a concept you might not be familiar with, this is called "winning elections". Deal with it.

You do realize that you can space your event drops on the entire month

The Atlasian Socialist Movement wishes to run in all states/territories/cities available for December.

Our standard color will be black (since red/maroon is taken).

What about crimson?

[Continential]

Can we get indications of where turnout is high? I always liked that little detail and it adds suspense lol

Early reports indicate [good/bad] turnout for [insert party here]
