America After Trump: An Election Game (interest thread)

Can I be a fictional verison of a real person?

[OBD]

I’m torn between Kirsten and Kyrsten, so I’ll just ask which do we need more, a progressive or moderate?

Probably a progressive, as Harris and Kaine should cover the establishment wing.

I’m inclined to say no but who are you thinking of?

Probably a progressive, as Harris and Kaine should cover the establishment wing.

In that case, I’ll take Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

Granted, thanks!

Granted.

Can I actually switch to Carly Fiorina?

[OBD]

Can I actually switch to Carly Fiorina?

She's been out of the spotlight for a long time, but if you want to.

I think I’ll switch, I think that she is probably a stronger candidate and already has somewhat of a national profile

Is this still only an "interest thread" by the way, or has the main action moved elsewhere?

UPDATE: don't even bother responding lol, i'm stupid and didn't see the attached link.

In the future, the following credits system will be used:
1 credit for every 4% in national polls

3 credits: Governors, former Presidents
2 credits: Senators, current and former Cabinet Officials, former Governors, major celebrities, newspapers, unions
1 credit: U.S Representatives, former Senators, state officials, etc.

So is it the case that the polling bonus will be ADDED to the officeholder credits, by position and/ or status? Where you list the 3-2-1, is that the number of credits required to "buy" endorsements from a given official, or the amount received for being at that level? If so, are those credits applied each turn or only once at the beginning?

I'll give you an example.

Let's say I'm playing as Montana Senator Steve Bullock, and I have 12% in a certain national poll. I get 3 credits from those polls, and I can use them to get the endorsements of Senator Jon Tester (2) and Fmr. Senator Heidi Heitkamp (1).

How are polling results determined, by the way?

I will calculate national and state polls based on lingering name recognition, national events, local events, etc.

And regrading your (surely forthcoming) announcement and/or schedule - if you're not sure how to do that, check out the other election games. As long as it's not too basic, anything will go. DM me if you need more help.

Can I take a Matt Gonzalez/Rocky Anderson ticket as a Green?

[OBD]

Can I take a Matt Gonzalez/Rocky Anderson ticket as a Green?

That's fine.

So can I have, depending on my national polling numbers, either an endorsements from DeSantis plus Rubio, or DeSantis plus Gaetz if the former's unavailable? Thank you!

As I don't see anyone else jumping in at this point, DeSantis and Rubio granted (on that note, Gov. Tina Kotek will go to DatGOTTho). In the future, DM me for endorsements though.

[terp40hitch]

Who is running in each of the Governor's races and is there any special elections?

[OBD]

There aren't any special elections of note, for now.

For this year's governor races, Governor Reeves is cruising to re-election against Mike Espy (or some random guy), Governor Beshear and SoS Michael Adams are in a dead heat, and Mitch Landrieu is facing a fractured Republican field (including Lt. Governor Nungesser, AG Landry, and Rispone) in Louisiana.

Sorry, who is DatGOTTho? And why isn't de Santis the governor anymore?

(P.S. Also, me and Rubito are still the two senators, right)

DeSantis is the governor. Rubio and you are the Senators. DatGOTTho is the Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) player.
