[“Rub a dub dub” - Bob Dylan]

Played Perot, built a strong base out West, and in Maine, and used 6-7 medium/high level scandals in the last 2 days. I had a massive war chest built up, and ran a strong ad campaign as well.

President George H.W Bush/Governor George Voinovich-353 EV---40,596,163 votes (38%)
Governor Bill Clinton/Senator Tom Harkin-143 EV---35,823,995 votes (33.6%)
Ross Perot/James Stockdale-42 EV---30,354,886 (28.4%)

Who was Deans running mate?

[“Rub a dub dub” - Bob Dylan]

Ford/Reagan-493-49,983,090 (50.3%)
Carter/Wallace-46-42,183,036 (42.5%)
McCarthy/Vidal-7,165,527 (7.2%)

I played McCarthy, I renamed his party to be the "Peoples Party", a pseudo Libertarian outfit, with Ralph Nader, and Gore Vidal as running mates. I might add Ellen McCormack as a possible candidate. I used the editor to give a few more PIP's, but otherwise, nothing was changed. I came in 2nd in Alaska, beating out Carter.

anyone got a nice up to date 2012 scenario?

anyone got a nice up to date 2012 scenario?

I have a 2012 scenario, but its outdated. John Thune, Mark Sanford, and Mike Pence are all candidates, and there are no listed Governors for endorsement.

I can take it and fix it a little bit. Is it the one that has Ventura on it also?

No, and it has Ron Paul as a Libertarian, not a Republican...their is a Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Obama version, but all 3 are the same, minus the incubnet president.

Ooh I think I know what scenario you have. I can build something out of that but it is going to take me some time.

[Trends are real, and I f**king hate it]

Playing Ted Kennedy in 1980.

I started the campaign with a slight edge, but spent too much time fortifying my strongholds, and meanwhile Carter pulled ahead in every other State. He swept Iowa and NH, and was unbeatable in the entire South and the West. I was ahead in Washington, but for some reason still lost. I had no choice but to campaign in solid Carter States. In the end, I miraculously took a few of them (must've had a big momentum).



Ted Kennedy : 53%, 1717 del.
Jimmy Carter : 47%, 1557 del.


Rep primaries were a complete mess. They ended up as a Reagan vs. Ford fight, which Ford narrowly won.



Ford : 53.5%, 1092 del.
Reagan : 46.5%, 880 del.


For some reason, I started the general election with a commanding lead, which of course went significantly down in the early stages of the campaign. When things settled I was leading by around 10 points, and managed to keep this lead during the whole campaing. I missed almost all endorsers, but I compensated by creating a load of footsolders in crucial States (NY, PA, NJ, OH, MI, IL, CA, FL). I won the two debates and managed to increase my momentum.

Going into the election, I led Ford 439-37. Tossups were NH, VA, FL, MS, LA, ND, OR and AK.



Ted Kennedy : 54.3%, 484 EVs
Gerald Ford : 45.7%, 54 EVs

I almost carried Alaska (49.6%). Ford almost carried Kansas (49.5%) and Oregon (49.4%). I almost broke 60% in Hawaii (59.9%), Maryland (59.8%), and West Virginia (59%).

2004: Played as Dean/Rendell vs Bush/Cheney

The closest state was Virginia which I won by ~5000 votes.
I won the EV with 311 but Bush won the PV 50%-49%

[allnjhaugh]

Played my custom 2012 scenario. Banged it out in a couple of hours, anybody want a copy? feedback would be appreciated!



Mitt Romney, 35.6%, 1084 delegates
Rick Perry, 37%, 797 delegates
Jon Huntsman, 27.4%, 576 delegates
Somehow, I (Huntsman) got endorsed by Perry after all the primaries ended. Despite leading in the polls, for some strange reason he always stays at -8% chance.

Next up, Huntsman vs. Obama at 46/45 and 244/242.

[allnjhaugh]

Barack Obama/Barbara Boxer (D): 65,615,891 PV, 47.7%, 250 EVs
Jon Huntsman/Scott Brown (R): 71,924,552 PV, 52.3%, 288 EVs
Best state:
Obama: VT, 57.7%
Huntsman: WY, 70.1%
Closest state: NJ, 50%/50%, 2,043,599/2,041,201
I'd say this scenario is pretty fairly balanced.

Id be interested in your 2012 scenario

I want a copy!!

2000: Bush vs Gore vs Me



Bush: PV 42.7%, EV 267
Gore: PV 42.5%, EV 271
Me: PV 14.8%

What were your best states? I mean, percentage wise and if you came in second in any of them!

[defe07]

my best ever game was this. In 1996 I smoked Dole with 55% of the vote, Perot taking about 11%:




I also did this as Mondale:

What were Perot's best states?

Using NVGonzalezs AMAZING 2012 mod....
I added a few candidates and VP's, and turned on the Constitution Party. I played Cindy Sheehan, my best performance was 3.3% in California. Really the same as 2008 with a third party hogginh some votes away..

President Barack Obama/Former Governor Howard Dean-357 EV, 48,845,807 PV (51.3%).
Former Governor Mitt Romney/Former UN Ambassador John Bolton-181 EV, 39,075,928 PV (41.1%).
Former Congressman Virgil Goode/Perenial Candidate Alan Keyes-5,279,293 PV (5.5%)
Activist Cindy Sheehan/Former Member of San Fransisco Board of Suprevisors Matt Gonzalez-1,318,028 PV (1.4%)
Former Party Chairman R. Lee Wrights/Activist Mary Ruwart-641,478 PV (0.7%)

Did you play the primaries? If so, have you seen the Perry endorsement offers? For me, he's always at like -8% no matter how strong he is in the polls, in both my scenario and NVGonzalez's.

Why does perry always have to be such a quitter in this game? :/

1996

Governor Lamar Alexander/Senator Arlen Specter-306 EV, 46.5 PV.
President Bill Clinton/Represenative Richard Gephardt-232 EV, 42.4%  PV
Ross Perot/Former Governor Richard Lamm-9.1% PV
Others (Green, Constitution, Libertarian)-1.9%

Played as Alexander. Buchanan won the first primaries, but lost steam. I won Iowa by a large margin, collecting all the delegates, the same for SC, and FL. Afterwords, I received a challenge from Gramm (Dole was off), who took up alot of votes, but with a endorsement from Lugar (my main rival early on), winning the nomination, and picking Specter as a running mate. Clinton received challenges from Gephart, LaRouche, and Dodd. Clinton won every primary, though Iowa was won by only 5%...A Power 9 scandal on Bill 2 weeks before the election sealed the deal, but I was going to win with/or without my scandal

EDIT: I did the whole campaign with a war cheast of 12,000,000, and no ads to the last two days.

Best Game Yet 2000

Senator Evan Bayh/Senator Russ Feingold-346 EV, 49,769,282 PV (45.8%).
Governor George W Bush/Former Senator John Danforth-192 EV, 47,360,281 PV (43.6%).
Activist Ralph Nader/Former Congressman Dan Hamburg-6,245,136 PV (5.8%)
Activist Pat Buchanan/Activist Ezola Foster-5,203,443 (4.8%)

I edited 2000 alot since I got this scenario. I added Paul Wellstone, and Evan Bayh to the Democratic primaries, and lots of extra VP options for each party. I created Bayh today, expecting to come in dead last in each primary. I started off with 8% in Iowa. I won Iowa, New Hampshire, and eventually, the nomination at a divided convention. Gore lost votes to the right to Bayh, and to the Left from Wellstone and Bradley. Bush won his primaries easily, though McCain and Dole gave some opposition here and their. With a centrist's Bayh and Bush (somewhat) as the nominees of the major parties, the Left boomed. Nader got 11% in Georgia, and averaged 10% in most states. Buchanan won the Teamsters and AFL-CIO endorsements for his protectionist positions. The election was extremely close, though I pulled it off. Two days before the election, it looked like Bush was gonna win a landslide.

[“Rub a dub dub” - Bob Dylan]

I cant edit Maine, but I won it too...I played Ron Paul vs Leonora Fulani in 88 without major parties, and won a landslide.

I'd like a copy of any 2012 scenario you guys have available...
