The Senate Game

[Bidenworth2020]

OK, so I am restarting the game here. All things in previous thread still apply.

In this game, various members of atlas will claim seats in the US Senate for their party. Their job is to defend their seat from outside opposition, as well as to keep the senate in their corner. Each participant can claim a seat that is up for election in that turn. I.e: You can only become DE Senator in 2018 or 2020 (unless via a special election). In between elections, the Senate works as it does IRL. If a seat is not filled by the deadline, the seat is replaced by an NPC controlled by me (a slightly-weaker version of the IRL Senator). The game starts with the 2016 Elections.

Example entry:

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Name: Andrew Williams (R-TN-Class 2)
Idealogy: Conservative Populism
Previous offices: Mayor of Knoxville (2002-2010); Governor of TN (2010-2018)
Bio: Born in 1972, Senator Andrew Williams is a very interesting Conservative, with heavy Nationalistic ideals for his country and a Populist Conservative, an idea that wasn't well known for a while. Now, he is one of the most well-liked republicans in the Nation, with an approval rating standing at 62% due to his experience in running both Knoxville and Tennessee before becoming Senator. In 2018, he ran for senator against former Governor Phil Bredesen and won in a comfortable margin. Since then, he has used his ideas to influence give as much pull as possible to his Conservative Populist ideals in the GOP and it could seem he will be resoundingly re-elected unless a Major Scandal drops.

Andrew Williams - 63.4%

Phil Bredesen - 36.3%

[Bidenworth2020]

Andrew Williams - 73.4%

Phil Bredesen - 26.3%

there is no chance in hell you win that by 73-26. More like 59-49

State Treasurer Ted Bessell: 6,935,710 - 56.65%

I combined the 2012 Presidential results with the 2016 Democratic primary results. Doesn’t make sense. Doesn’t have to.

[Orwell]

you lost the pv by 2 million and still won the election?

No, just put the numbers in the wrong places

[The Govanah Jake]

Name: Jake Javinisk (D-NY Class 2)
Ideology: Populist Left Libertarian.
Previous Offices Held: Mayor of Oyster Bay (2008-2010), New York State Legislator (2010-2016), New York Senator (2016-)
Bio: Born October 12th, 1979 in Oyster Bay, New York. Graduated from Yale in 2001. Jake returned to his former home in 2002 and successfully ousted the incumbent Republican mayor of his home town with a feisty populistic campaign calling out the mayors known corruption. He defeated him 58-40% becoming the first Jewish mayor and the first Democrat to win in the town (a override republican stronghold) in 20 years. In his short tenure as Mayor, he would fire and replace almost all of the former mayors cabinet and appointees going on a mass anti-corruption campaign. He would also be to get to properly ordering new legislation fixing up the ailing infrastructure in the town. He would leave 2 years after he was first elected leaving with a estimated 65% approval. He would move to higher pastures as instead of his expected run for County executive, he would run for the State Legislature and easily beat a lesser known republican candidate going to the State Legislature in Albany representing most of Northern Nassau County. In that time he would heavily support the new governor Andrew Cuomo. However after new reports of corruption began to surface around the new governor, he would become one of his sharpest critic from the Left. He would however support the Governors efforts towards Universal tuition to the state colleges while supporting the push for universal healthcare among fellow Democrats. He would also be a strong critic of the Independent Democrat caucus and said "they are giving away the Legislature towards Republicans". Meanwhile in this time new rumors and scandals were surfacing against long time Senator Charles Schumer. A official report soon revealed he used pay to play corruption in his 2012 re-election efforts to win. And reports showed he profited heavily of it. After these rumors became fact, Schumer was stripped of his right to become the leader of the Democrats in the senate and a investigating probe began against him. Javinisk sensed a opportunity. He declared his candidacy against the Senator in January of 2016. A strong candidate, he ran to Schumers left calling him "Corrupt Chuck", a line unironicly being supported publicly he many prominent republicans including Donald Trump who tweeted of it. Overnight his name recognition shot up and was within 20 points of the Senator in primary polls. Come election time, to everyone's surprise a close race couldn't be called until later the next day, Javinisk won. Everyone was shocked but Schiller graciously conceded. He would go on to easily defeat conservative activist Wendy Long in the senate election and become the youngest New York Senator ever.

Senator Barnabas Glenn Ellis.

Previous occupation: lives in parents basement

Texas Class 1.

Won in 2012 against Ted Cruz, 52-43. Only one to file in primary because of apathetic TexDem party.
Was down in the all the polls by about 5-6 points, until a certain tape was released of Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell exactly two weeks before the election. Polls quickly showed a double digit reversal, and Ellis scored an upset.

An X rated tape that got Cantwell to resign and Cruz to lose his job and wife, and probably kids (btw this is fake by the way, just for RPing purposes).
