Title: US Election Games Index Post by: Lumine on May 28, 2018, 09:02:44 PM Currently under construction, the purpose of this thread will be to gather info on all the US-based election games this forum has seen so far (and there's a lot of them).
For the time being, here's a general idea of what games have we seen through the years: US Presidential Elections: Old Elections: 1788-1820: As far as I know, never roleplayed. 1824-1832: Covered by Spamage's Chain of Elections 1836-1944: As far as I know, never roleplayed. Modern Elections: 1948: Unfinished game shortly ago. 1952-1964: Not roleplayed. 1968: Unifinished attempt. 1972: A couple of short-lived games in the past, then Fear and Loathing (which stopped short of the GE) 1976: Not roleplayed. 1980: Unfinished attempt. 1984-1988: Not roleplayed. 1992: Roleplayed a couple of times. Scott's excellent The 92' Vote almost got to the GE. 1996: Not roleplayed. Recent Elections: 2000: Roleplayed a few times, NHI's 2000 Election Game was successfully finished (Quayle defeats Daschle). 2004: Roleplayed a few times, with NHI's 2004 Presidential Election and Beyond successfully finishing with a Giuliani victory and continuing on to 2008. 2008: Extensively roleplayed through the years. To my knowledge the sole one to finish was Spamage's epic 2008 Election Game (my first game), in which Bloomberg defeated McCain and Dean. 2012: Extensively roleplayed through the years. Noteworthy mention to Tmthforu94's version some years ago, in which Ayotte/Christie defeated Obama/Clinton. 2016: Extensively roleplayed through the years. 2020: Extensively roleplayed, DatGOTTho's remarkable The Great 2020 Free-For-All completed the GE, Sherrod Brown defeating Phil Scott.

Title: Re: US Election Games Index Post by: Cabbage on June 13, 2019, 07:38:23 PM 2020 Game completed. Brown/Sink defeated Scott/Rubio in a razor-thin race.

Title: Re: US Election Games Index Post by: Lumine on June 14, 2019, 07:33:35 PM Congratulations! The 2020 game will be added to the Index. I haven't had time to do the research to update it, but if anyone wants one added just let me know or post here.
Title: Re: US Election Games Index Post by: KaiserDave on February 09, 2020, 10:16:54 PM That 2020 game, so awesome. So so awesome.
Had a great time, and wrote awesome Phil campaign material. Rereading some of them, I hear his voice. Title: Re: US Election Games Index Post by: adamevans on February 09, 2020, 11:15:08 PM The 2020 game is definitely the best since I was invited to Atlas by jacksonhitchcock for Lumine’s 2012 game (also a really good game, but in retrospect, I have no idea how I got so far). I hope this new 2020 game lives up to it, with more active players than the previous.
