So, I've come up with two game ideas and as of right now, I'm curious, which one, in your opinion, would you prefer seeing as a game. Note that for the first time, It'll take me time to build up a proper roster and such, while the other can be made asap.
Going with Brooke : In 1971, Vice President Spiro Agnew's wrongdoings are discovered early and he is forced to resign. Shortly thereafter, President Nixon decides, in an attempt to both make history and appease the Democratic Majority Senate, appoints Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke, who is confirmed by the Senate. Weeks later, Nixon is killed in an assassination, leading to Brooke winning the general 1972 Election with Howard Baker as his running mate. Now, it is four years later and after eight years of Republican control, President Brooke remains popular but there is a chance that the Democrats could, with the right candidate, win the election.
No Voice from the Gutter : Despite all the pushing and prodding, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt has instead decided he would respect the tradition set by George Washington and not run for a third term. Thus, the leading Candidates to replace him are Vice President Garner, Secretary of State Hull, and DNC Chair Farley with several minor candidates trailing. As the Republicans and Democrats squabble among themselves for a nominee, one Senator Huey Long of Louisiana, who survived an Assassination Attempt five years prior, has built his own third party and now plans to run a third party campaign and hopefully win the Presidency outright. With all this going on, several new political figures have emerged from the shadows and have declared intentions to make themselves known. (Keys to the White House Game)
