After the Chaos: A 2024 election game (sign-up/interest thread)

[John King wannabe]

Will there be active events in this that candidates have to respond to or even handle themselves?

[John King wannabe]

Can I get one of these five?

Democrat Matthew McConaughey
Republican Larry Hogan
Democrat Andrew Yang
Dwayne Johnson.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
Which one could I play?

Just my opinion (Since I'm not the GM), but I think McCarthy is a non-starter.

If I were you, I'd pick Hogan, personally out of the choices you listed.

I agree a Republican would be a go too, but I would also love to have some more Democrats if some more people were willing to come on

[John King wannabe]

I’d like to play as McConaughey or Yang mostly, but if I need to be a Republican I can be Hogan if I must

I welcome you to the Democratic primary!

[John King wannabe]

Sorry, i was asleep. Bloody timezones.

McCarthy is off-limits. I can't think of a reason he'd run.

Hogan is a good choice and I would like to bump the Republicans' numbers up. Especially given how there's a lack of interest.

Yang's another okay choice. McConaughey, to my knowledge, is an independent.

So.. Hogan or Yang or McConaughey. Give me any of em

It's your choice, just pick one.

Quick question. As Michelle Obama, do I start with a Barack Obama endorsement or is that too unfair to other Democrats (Asking because I'd want to use Barack on the campaign trail right away, especially in Iowa.)?

I'll think it over. I have to admit, there's compelling arguments for both sides.

I consider it an unfair advantage as Obama affects a large part of the American Democratic party electorate, either deal with no endorsement or pick a new character.

When can we expect a gameplay thread?

On the other hand, I'd argue it'd be unfair to Michelle for her not to have her husband's endorsement.

Then again, I'd be willing to switch to playing as a Republican, given no one seems interested in playing as one anyways.

Like I said, there's decent arguments on both sides.

I'd be fine with a compromise on Barack's endorsement (Michelle having it, but being unable to unveil or use him in campaigning before, say the Iowa Caucus).

My proposal is she can have his endorsement but only makes appearance in ads and or references and may not make campaign appearances until after Super Tuesday

Final question before the game starts, what month do we begin in? and could you outline important upcoming dates like the SOTU, Special Elections, etc.

Can I take Senator Sherrod Brown?

I would love to have you as Sherrod Brown

[John King wannabe]

Can I still post an announcement speech and first schedule in August? I originally thought we were starting in January and I have an entire schedule devoted to January and an announcement speec

Starting in January also gives the chance for the smaller known candidates to get known early and make an impact, I can't really make a post cause I want to see what you say as I had everything already planned out.

[John King wannabe]

Forget what I said, I can work with August.

[John King wannabe]

The turn's only until the 14th, AshtonShabazz, so I'm not sure why you did all of August.

Probably because I'm used to other games posting full months as turns.

Fixed

[John King wannabe]

Could you possibly make a Google Doc of everyone's endorsements in the game so we can keep track and not take each other's endorsements when they're already claimed?

[John King wannabe]

Where will the RNC and DNC be located?

[John King wannabe]

Turn is closed.

Getting this turn up might take a bit longer because I officially turned 24 today.

Happy Birthday!!!

[John King wannabe]

This turn will be delayed slightly. I've had a slightly adverse reaction to my flu shot.

No rush, get well soon.

[John King wannabe]

next turn, when?

[John King wannabe]

This turn will be extended. I've been trying to manage from hosptial after a major anxiety attack.

Due to my mismanagement, I'm considering cancelling the game completely

Although I love this game, your mental health comes first and I urge you to do what is best for you in this situation.

Get well soon.

[John King wannabe]

Turn is closing now

Great to see you back GoT, hope you're doing better.

[John King wannabe]

Is anyone interested in taking up the mantle and reviving this? Been thinking about continuing this game for a while.
