President Forever results thread...

Worse thing is that after playing it for about 12 months you learn how to ace it even on hard mode. Saying that 2016 is very difficult as a GOP because you don't have enough influence points to get endorsements.

I've seen Jeb Bush win the nominee after getting 1% in Iowa and 4% in New hampshire

Simmed as Bloomberg on President Infinity (got it yesterday) because my game w/ Rubio vs Clinton froze, so I wanted to see if a whole game could be played w/o freezing, luckily it did...so 270soft won't have to deal w/ my short fuse

But, did not expect Bush, who was GOP nominee in this race, to clobber Hillary.

Bush: 306 EVs
Clinton: 232 EVs

I won 2.2%, roughly 3.3 Million votes without doing anything. The Map itself is bizarre.

Based on the Republican win in Rhode Island, I'm guessing that Lincoln Chafee was Clinton's running mate?

Why would Ayotte be on the Democratic ticket?

Lol, sorry i thought you meant GOP Ticket. I believe Warner or Kaine was DEM VP.

Susana Martinez-John Thune vs Bernie Sanders-Brian Schweitzer

R: 307 EVs; 50.7%
D: 231 EVs; 49.3%

[VPH]

Martin O'Malley/Brian Schweitzer-304-49.8%
Ben Carson/Susana Martinez-234-49.8%
Jill Stein/Cheri Honkala-0-.3% (I played as Stein to watch how things unfolded)

Kinda stunned that O'Malley won NC and lost VA. Also expected him to win New Hampshire. All in all, it didn't seem to be terribly unrealistic.

2020 Presidential Election
President Clinton retiring.

Mr. Jeff Bezos/Mr. Jamie Dimon - 233 Electoral Votes, 28.8%
Sen. Joni Ernst/Sen. Rand Paul - 175 Electoral Votes, 24.7%
Vice President Julian Castro/Senator Cheri Bustos - 126 Electoral Votes (inc. PR), 28.8%
Mr. Donald Trump/Rep. Jim Jordan - 11 Electoral Votes, 13.5%

[NeverAgain]

Sen. Tim Scott(R-SC)/Gov. Jon Huntsman(R-UT)44.8% - 254
Rep. Joaquin Castro(D-TX)/Amb. Gary Locke(D-WA)44.8% - 262 (PR is a state in this scenario)
Mr. Donald Trump(I-NY)/Rep. Steve Chabot(R/I-OH)10.4% - 29
Did a 2020 scenario in the general as the Trumpster. I had 61 days to win, I grabbed Pres. Hillary Clinton's endorsement, and won NY 40.12%. Congress gave the election to Scott, but I felt happy because I know I got a cabinet position.

[rpryor03]

Sanders/Castro 309 EVs 48.8%
Paul/Sandoval 229 EVs 49.8

I can't post the map, as I haven't posted 20 times. But the only states that changed from 2012, were NH, NV, and VA to Paul. I just let this run with the computer, very interesting result.

Wow, really a hanging chad there. Welcome to Atlasia BTW!

[YPestis25]

Thanks!

So, and I'm probably being an idiot here, but how do you get mods? I can never get the actual game to recognize a mod, even when I put it in the Mod file.

You have to unzip them from their downloaded files, and then put them in the scenarios folder of the game. Also, make sure that they are made for the version of President Forever you're using. Some President Infinity scenarios are under President Forever 2008.

Simmed through a 2004 scenario I downloaded as Nader. Started in the primaries with a crowded Democratic field (No Kerry though) and a Republican field composed of McCain and Powell. I suspect heavy game strangeness or just a lot of voter fraud.
Colin Powell/John McCain-451
Dick Gephardt/Wes Clark-87

Some curious results:
North Dakota: 99.3%-.5%-.2%
Virginia: 98.8%-.9%-.3%
New Mexico: 93.7%-4.1%-2.3%

[NeverAgain]

LBJ/Hubert Humphrey - 368 EV, 44.8% PV

Harold Stassen/George Romney - 111 EV, 38.6% PV

George Wallace/Curtis LeMay - 59 EV, 16.1% PV

I just spectated it for fun, A Democrat more conservative then the Republican. Obviously LBJ crushed Stassen, but I would've guessed that Wallace would've taken more of the south as the election was more centrist. Anyways, for your amusement.

[rpryor03]

Biden/Klobuchar
Trump/Cruz

[rpryor03]

Chris Christie/Scott Walker - 401, 52.8%
Hillary Clinton/John Hickenlooper - 137, 43.8%

[rpryor03]

President George Bush/Mayor Rudy Giuliani - 445 EV, 69.8%
Representative Richard Gephardt/Senator John Kerry - 93 EV, 28.5%

Simply beautiful...

Revenge is a dish best served without chlorofluorocarbons or excess amounts of greenhouse gasses



Al Gore (D-TN) / Evan Bayh (D-IN) 302 EV 48.8% PV (plurality)

Jeb Bush (R-FL) / Bobby Jindal (R-LA) 236 EV 48.4% PV

Ralph Nader (G-CT) 1.7% PV

Bob Barr (L-GA) 1% PV

Bush won Indiana by a few hundred votes, and came closing to winning New York in addition to Washington. Gore still would have won in that case, by a razor thin margin 271-267.

Also, in cases were a "pure" spectator mode is desired, remove the spectator party from the ballot in all states.
