I saw the Ontario result, and I'm like "Grits probably have got a landslide going on here"
Saddest part is, both of the people who played as Trudeau put in like half the effort (or even less) than I did. Yes, I messed up once or twice, but at least I took a risk and wrote all those speeches (and advertisements and the rest).
Just my two cents since I have been watching from afar (I'm delighted Truman found my previous Mock Parliament model useful, he's done a brilliant job), but a reality with these games is that the amount of effort is not always equal to the results, particularly if mistakes are made (and we all make our mistakes in these political games, none of us are infallible).
That can be a problem when one is a GM, because when one sees enthusiasm and a lot of effort put into something one does wish to reward those players who put the extra work or are just great at playing, and yet one must strive towards being more impartial and judging performances on their IC merits or mistakes.
Long story short, I hope this particular game continues to do well, and that winning or losing players are not discouraged by results. After all, it wouldn't be an accurate political simulation without defeat or loss.
(PS: Having said that, I was privately but strongly cheering for wxtransit and the Conservative)
