How does one skip questions on the bigshot cheat? I've tried typing in the number and it doesn't work

Go to the map and then go back to the question.

Interesting enough the original site has been updated with a new 2020 scenario.

The creator of the original game (Dan Bryan) had stumbled upon the subreddit for the game a few hours ago. He applauded the mod makers though admitted he didn't know how to play the mods himself.

He also stated that he started the original site nearly 10 years ago and soon added the game we know and love to the site.

He said he's been busy and had been slowly but surely working on a proper 2020 election for a while but also said that it will likely be the last one for a long time and also said he will try to work on the original site's performance including fixing up the Hall of Fame and game by game results.

This is what I have been able to achieve as both Biden and Trump om Dan Bryan's new 2020 actual release. This is available on both versions but with the added difficulties, the ability to use "bigshot" and less latency I still recommend the newer version. These maps were accomplished with Cakewalk difficulty on the newer site.

[Chips]

Oh, and one detail that might not be easy to notice at first glance is that Bryan has finally incorporated the Maine and Nebraska districts so now you see the results of them along with the actual states!

Won with Trump/Pence 289-249 and did better than 71.6% of games played

Won with Biden/Harris with the exact 306-232 map as OTL and did better than 70.3% of the games played

Narrow Bill Clinton win on Normal in 1996 with Ross Perot breaking 10% of the PV

[LAB-LIB]

Lost as Romney, can't escape 306-232!



President Barack Obama (D-IL) / Vice President Joe Biden (D-DE): 306 electoral votes / 64,190,284 votes (49.8%)
Fmr. Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) / Fmr. Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-MN): 232 electoral votes / 63,359,287 votes (49.2%)

2012 was one of those elections which PA could vote to the right of OH and the GOP candidate winning an election without the need of OH.

Won 340 EV with Trump/Obama and came within 3 in Arkansas , Misssissippi and 2 in South Carolina and  somehow won GA while losing VA(Lost TN by 20 though lol). Barely lost MO just like OTL though.

After months of anticipation, VA 2021 modder has released the VA 2021 mod to everyone with a county map and all. You can only play as Youngkin right now and it's unlikely that McAuliffe will be released too quickly, but I played it and already I think it's one of the best and most well crafted mods.

[Vice President Christian Man]

Joe narrowly defeats Trump in the 2016 mod.

I love how you could see the county data on this mod.

Same. I think this will set the foundation for many great statewide race mods in the future!

Closer than OTL’s 2020

[Vice President Christian Man]

Trump defeated Biden and yet lost Georgia.

[paxamericana]

Played as Trump in 2020. The entire election hinged on Pennsylvania... which I won by 0.1% point!

There goes the electoral college in the Democrats’ platform

[Orwell]

I spent like 30-45 minutes playing as Youngkin to finally win

[Chips]

Ran as Biden in 2020 Normal and ran on more hardliner positions. I directly attacked Trump whenever possible and openly supported lockdowns, court packing and a ban on assault weapons. I lost but interestingly still managed to hold on to Georgia. I might play another round where I instead go full moderate and refrain from attacking Trump.

[Chips]

This time, I ran as a true moderate. I hardly attacked Trump and fully opposed the Floyd riots, lockdowns and court packing. I won with a 0.6% margin in Pennsylvania as the tipping point.

[GregTheGreat657]

1996 Dole is now in the mod loader with Kemp, McCain, Cheney, Buchanan, and Weld as the possible running mate choices

[Alben Barkley]

Best I've gotten with Biden in the new 2020 scenario on Normal is 412. Not QUITE 413, because it seems impossible to campaign specifically in ME-02. But I did manage to snag OH and IA.

The mod also seems to suggest (perhaps correctly?) that Demings was Biden's best running mate.
