[NeverAgain]

where is the link to play this game?

http://www.270soft.com

You can download & purchase it there.

What about for free?

You can download the Demo, but if you love a realistic simulation of an election. Just pay the 19.99, it was that or 4 Five Dollar Footlongs from Subway. I went hungry for about a week, but at least I had President Forever. Spare some change?

President... Kucinich?

Funnest game I have ever played, I played this game on Hard to get the extra score.
Upset Victory for Me. Romney was ahead in Missouri, Minnesota, and Michigan until election day.
I played it as far left as possible, it was a toss up election from the start.

[R] Romney/Coleman -  64,898,211 - 49.36% - 265 E.V.
[D] Kucinich/Sanders - 66,575,495 - 50.64% - 273 E.V.

Closest States - (Under 3%)
Missouri - 49.67% > 50.33%
Michigan - 49.46% > 50.54 %
Iowa - 50.88 < 49.12%
Minnesota - 48.78% > 51.22%
Oregon - 51.43% < 48.57%
Virginia - 51.47% < 48.53%

I'm also thinking of getting Prime Minister Forever. Does anyone have it, and is it any fun?

I'm buying it soon, I will tell you about it when I get it.

This is a problem...

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.

They really need to fix percentages, OH would never go D if Maine went red, and vice versa for MN, RI. I did read that realistic modeling will be added soon.

2016 ELECTION:

President-Elect, Marco Rubio, R-Florida; Vice President-Elect Rob Portman, R-Ohio: 311 EVs; 49.9%; 75,018,347
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts; U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, D-Vermont: 227 EVs; 46.2%; 69,548,739
Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, I-NY; Former SecDef Chuck Hagel, I-NE; 0 EVs; 2.5%; 3,759,551
Former Governor Gary Johnson, D-New Mexico; Former Judge James Gray, D-California: 0 EVs; 1,482,211
Physician Jill Stein, G-Massachusetts; Activist Cheri Honkala, G-Pennsylvania; 0 EVs; 618,972

What a fun campaign! I was Rubio-Portman. It was very bizarre, and interesting. It was neck and neck until early October when I started opening up huge leads in many states. However, after I won the second debate, scandals started popping up on Rubio.

Warren made the national polls go from 48-41% to 47-44%. I started bombarding her in the airwaves, and it went back to a decent 48-42%. Scandals started to erupt on Warren (Bloomberg, and I continued the attacks via airwaves on her as well).

Then, mid-October, the endorsements started piling in:

New York Times, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Al Gore, Bill Nelson, Joe Manchin, Barbara Boxer, and Jerry Brown (Independent Angus King, and Jesse Ventura as well) ALL endorsed me (along w/ all the typical GOP endorsements). Warren started slipping in deep blue states, like CA and NY. I started focusing completely on CA, and let Warren regain footing.

She started picking up Democrat endorsements, and started to peel off smaller states from me. By election day, I kept a consistent lead, but stopped campaigning w/ 2 days to go. She also got some Republican officials endorsements.

I won very early on, but most states were very, very close. Like 49-46, 48-47 for many of them. and states like OH, NC, FL, where I led by 8-11% points wound up becoming 50-46 and 51-46 wins.

Nice win! I try to play without third parties since I played a King/Fiorina vs. Clinton/Warner with Everyone on.

Every Tossup I lost by less than 0.5%. I need to get better.

[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.

[NeverAgain]

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!

[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.

2016 GOP Primary:

Red = Nikki Haley
Green = Bobby Jindal
Blue = Chris Christie
Light Blue = Rick Perry
Light Red = Rick Santorum

Played as Nikki Haley and won the nomination after a somewhat contentious duel with Jindal. I came 13 delegates short of clinching the nomination in early April, but Jindal went on a hot streak for a bit and I was able to clinch it in early June lol.

Santorum refuses to endorse me lol
Jindal wanted to be my VP and I was like nah so he stayed in a week or two after I clinched the nomination delegates wise. Santorum finally dropped out after I won at the convention lol.

I am facing Sanders now w/ $203 Million COH.

LOL, nice! Good luck. You inspired me to play a Rubio game and I just won IA, NH, and NV.

√ Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA)/Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL): 327 (51.9%)

President Barack Obama (D-IL)/VP Joe Biden (D-DE): 215 (46.1%)

Was playing as Clinton - Went on hard mode. Ugh.

How do you get elections so far back? It seems like I can only play 2016, 2012, 2008, 1968, and 1912.

http://campaigns.270soft.com/
User Made Campaigns - There is everything from 1788 - 1956, A Couple What-If's for 2008, 2012, and 2016. And a 2020 and 2024 scenarios.

Once popularity is fixed, this game will be so much more fun. BTW nice job dar, I really like the primary maps and everything. The AAR style is so cool.

√ President George W. Bush (R-TX)/Sec. of State Colin Powell (R-NY) - 279 EV (50.3%)
Rev. Al Sharpton (D-NY)/Fmr. Sen Carol Mosley Braun(D-IL) - 259 EV (47.5%)
Mr. Ralph Nader(G-CT)/Peter Camejo(G-CA) - 0 EV (2.8%)

I tried playing the old President Forever (like the first one). I suck at it! It was a fun game though, I like older games even if they are a bit buggy. If only Iowa and WI had flipped, then we would of had President Sharpton!

[NeverAgain]

Carly Fiorina/Brian Sandoval - 308 EVs, 52.8% PV
Hillary Clinton/Amy Klobuchar - 230 EVs, 47.2 PV

Klobuchar on the ticket and losing MN, but winning WV... wat.

how do people win a few states as third parties (not counting 1948 or 1968)? I always finish >20% in a few states but never enough to win a state

They did it to simulate a "Perot" effect, I usually just ad swamp the 11 most populace states to get exactly 270 electoral votes, it's really fun. I usually win just shy of 25% of the PV without having to do a nationwide campaign. It's CA, TX, FL, NY, IL, PA, OH, MI, GA, NC, and NJ by the way.

✓ Lewis Cass (ND - MI)/Daniel Dickenson (D - NY) 138 EV

William Seward (R - NY)/Benjamin Wade (R - OH) 62 EV

John C. Breckinridge (SD - KY)/Joseph Lane (SD - NY) 78 EV

Millard Fillmore (CU - NY)/William Goggin (CU - VA) 27 EV

No one had a majority, but I (Cass) had enough congressional seats to win. I avoided the Civil War at least until 1864... I may make this a TL at some point, fun game.

when you all are ad-swamping how many ad's per turn are we talking? i've been doing like 4-5 per turn for my targeted states and then i'd do stump speeches and rallies each turn in those states and am still losing badly in those states.

got 25% in maine on my last go
24% in montana
19% in kansas
16% in arizona

What ads are you using? Television? I usually ramp up mass newspaper ad production on a researched insight issue and then usually get about 80-100 ad power in the targeted state(s). I use Television rarely due to their incredulous expense and little power addition. Hope this helps!

[NeverAgain]

President Trump... Thanks Congress...

✓ Donald Trump (R - NY)/Jeff Sessions (R - AL) - 211 E.V.

Hillary Clinton (D - NY)/Tim Kaine (D - VA) - 257 E.V.

Michael Bloomberg (I - NY)/Jim Webb (D/I - VA) - 70 E.V.

Battenburg do you always let your EPs dip so low?
