So, after about six months dark, I think I'm ready to GM another election game.

The scenario I was thinking of was this: on December 9, 2018, President Donald Trump suffers a debilitating stroke, costing him his power of speech and control of the right side of his body. While he does survive this, he has clearly become incapable of serving the remainder of his term, and the necessary officials invoke the 25th Amendment. Mike Pence is sworn in as the 46th President of the United States, and appoints Faith and Freedom Coalition founder and chairman Ralph Reed (GA) as his vice president. This confirmation of this choice would be hurried through the House while the Republicans still controlled it, and Reed would be sworn in following his Senate confirmation on December 22, 2018.

This series of events would have two effects on the 2020 race: first, obviously, with Trump out of the race, there's more room for GOP candidates to viably challenge the incumbent. Second, this incident caused a significant shift of support away from candidates over the age of 65, effectively upending the 2020 Democratic field, as well.

That said, I'd like to make sure people are interested before I just launch. If we can get a decent group going, I'll probably set up the signup thread over the weekend.

I'd be down. My election game is clearly a nonstarter so I should have time for this Smiley

All righty, this looks like a good start, so I'll have something up tomorrow morning.

I might be interested if the game starts once the current turns for my own games finished.

I'd be interested and will the characters be fake or real politicians?
