Flip the 19th
(a ripoff of East of the Merrimack, Flip the 6th and Flip the 8th, by KaiserDave, OBD and CentristRepublican respectively)
This game is about a congressional race in Upstate New York, more specifically the new 19th congressional district, which contains all of Delaware, Greene, and Columbia counties, as well as parts of Oneida, Madison, Chenango, Broome, Otsego, Albany, Rensselaer, Ulster, and Dutchess counties. The district's most populous city is Utica. It is 79% White, 7% Hispanic, 7% Black, 5% Asian, 2% Native American, 0.1% Pacific Islander. It has the following voting history:
2016/2020 PVI: D + 1.6
Senator 2016: Schumer + 29.5
President 2016: Clinton + 2.3
Attorney General 2018: James + 9.3
Governor 2018: Molinaro + 3.1
Senator 2018: Gillibrand + 19.8
2012/2016 PVI: D + 2.1
President 2020: Biden + 10.0
Here are the rules:
1. No Violating the Rules of this Blog
2. No Powergaming, Metagaming, etc.
3. Be polite please, rudeness ain't needed. Be considerate and kind towards your fellow players and blog posters.
4. Be reasonable and stick to realism.
5. If you commit to playing a big role, please stay active. And lengthy and complete inactivity without any message or reasoning will result in removal.
6. No cheating, I don't know how you would but don't do it
7. Characters, and this is very important, must be well rounded and sensible. I will not accept God-like characters. Within those constraints, get creative!
7. Have fun!
8. If you have any suggestions, please provide!
And here is the info:
1. The game will commence on February1, one day before the 2021 gubernatorial elections, right before the map passed. The primary elements will be schedules, speeches, debates, interviews, endorsements, and the like. Events earlier than February 2022 are not required, but can still help one's standing.
2. I will incorporate news. Assume that any events that happen OTL happen in this TL. Additionally, assume that all OTL politicians exist, except for those that conflict with player characters (e.g. if the player represents a CO House seat, the current representative from that seat does not exist for this game's purposes).
3. Detail is good. Go into depth about the locations you visit, and try to tailor your campaigns to them. Results are calculated on the county level so this can and will affect your numbers!
And lastly, the character app. Once again borrowing from Kaiser/OBD/CentristRepublican.
