UK General Election 2019 (Backstory, Rules, & Sign Up)

[DKrol]

A quick note that I guess was not clear from the Backstory: there was no 2014 referendum on Scottish independence. May's opposition to a referendum is what brought down her first coalition. The LibDems will be able to change their schedule to remove the reference to the 2014 referendum.

Interesting! I had assumed it was like in OTL as well.

I'm sorry. I thought the first three paragraphs of the Backstory made it clear that the referendum was denied by May's First government. I will allow any changes, sans penalty, to reflect this clarification.

I'll have my turn up tonight as well. I might end up abusing the use of "interviews", let me know if they're too many.

[DKrol]

There's about 14 hours left in the turn. We're still missing a handful of Manifestos and a handful of schedules. There will be no extensions or exemptions for this turn because of the holiday tomorrow.

[YPestis25]

Will have my finished schedule up this evening!

Your use of interviews is about right. I'd prefer if they were presented either as press releases or speech excerpts (If they're long diatribes) or as more formal interviews (with questions, answers, and exchange), going forward.

[DKrol]

Just under an hour and a half to go. I'm still missing schedules from UKIP, the DUP, and Sinn Fein, and I'm missing manifestos from the DUP and Sinn Fein.

[Orwell]

Will there be debates next turn?

[DKrol]

Will there be debates next turn?

Per the OP, there will be one debate in Turn Two and one in Turn Five.

[DKrol]

The turn is officially over. I will be nice, however, and accept any posts posted before I wake up tomorrow morning.

[DKrol]

Processing the turn is going very well! I should be able to have the turn summary posted this evening and, hopefully, get the debate questions up tomorrow.

[Riot like its 1776!]

My bad, I’ve been swamped. I’ll compensate by posting a super heavy duty schedule next turn.

[DKrol]

The turn summary is up, as well as the "Notes from the GM" for the next turn. The next turn is open now, for schedules and candidate lists, but the debate questions will not be up tonight. The goal is to get them up tomorrow evening, around this time.

[DKrol]

The turn is open and the debate questions are up! I was worried I wouldn't be able to get them done today - my phone over heated and started to meltdown, leading to me spending 3 hours at the Verizon store after work. Looking forward to this round.

The turn will end 72 hours from now - 11:59 PM on Monday, July 8.

Can I do an opening statement for the debate?

[DKrol]

Can I do an opening statement for the debate?

Sure! Opening, closing, and rebuttals are encouraged but not required.

[Lumine]

Haven't managed to post a turn yet due to writing for the 1212 game, will try to do so today.

[Riot like its 1776!]

Due to unforeseen time constraints I’m gonna have to drop this. I’m sorry Dkrol

Sad! Hope you keep up the good work on the for God, Crown, and Country TL.

Would anyone like to take on UKIP? If need be, I could write a UKIP-Brexit Party electoral merger in order to save us on players and have NyIndy take over, if he is interested. Thoughts?

I don’t want to have undue influence, but option 2 sounds hella cool

[NyIndy]

Of course, I'd be fine on taking both over , but I'm a little sad to see UKIP go

[DKrol]

Just about 24 hours to go. We’re still missing most schedules, candidate lists, and debate answers.

I’m going to approve the UKIP-Brexit Coalition and write up a news article on it before I go to bed. For the sake of the game TL, the merger will happen the day after the debate.

Yeah well I'm in the hospital right now.

Ok, thanks for letting me know. Sorry to hear that. Hope everything works out. I will sim your turn for you based on your orders from last turn and you won't be penalized for inactivity.
