Cell phones are evil! An invention created as a beneficial innovation with good intentions that is now systematically destroying much of our social infrastructure and behaviour. But, you didn't include an option for "no cell phone, never a cell phone - a laptop and landline only."

Just curious which you'd prefer By Android I mean any one you want any kind of hardware and/or version of android including an unlocked one

Here's the results of some craziness in messing around with the 2012 election.

@CalebsParadox and @Sunnymentoaddict here's a video:
-
Yeah. I think it can be up to 6 players, even. I know one of the variants has players start the game as: Northern Conservatives (Adams, Jay, and two others) Southern Conservatives (Washington, and others) Northern Liberals (Franklin, Clinton, and others) Southern Liberals (Jefferson, Madison, and others) The game uses Liberals and Conservatives as parties instead of the actual parties, which is kind of odd, but those factions existed within the political parties.

Thanks for this, I'm probably going to pick this up for the next board game night I have with my friends. Do the rules and expansion allow for good 4 player play?
-
It's well worth it. The rule book allows for a few variants on how to play, which is nice. I've already bought the two expansions for it as well.
-
I've looked at the numbers for aforementioned PMs and they all have 2s or 3s so I assume it would have to be a 3 or a 4.

How to get the "I" party symbol
CHILLYKILLERBOMB replied to CHILLYKILLERBOMB's topic in Game Feedback
Thanks for the offer, but I'm fine. I just needed the simple "I" for this scenario I'm making. -
Oh, if you're referring to the party symbol itself (for some reason, I had thought you were referring to some candidate portrait I was unfamiliar with) - I actually have a collection of those letter "I" Independent party symbols with the "I" filled in numerous different choices of colours instead of just grey that I've been using over the years for scenarios with multiple Independents or Independent blocs, if you're interested...

Assuming that WW2-era Churchill was a 5, what number would you give Macmillan personally?
-
I'm digging this. Might have to order when I get paid. Though I currently lack the ability to deliver a proper pc port.

Thanks for this post - I've added a post with the relevant images here http://campaigns.270soft.com/2018/05/25/independents-party-and-leader-images/

As far as post-war PMs go, I'd rate Macmillan above Attlee, Douglas-Home, Heath, Major, Brown and May in charisma terms. In many ways he is quite similar to Cameron - from a well-to-do background, on the centre-left of the Conservative Party and managed to lead the party to a net increase in seats as the governing party. Both were also succeeded by vastly inferior media performers (Douglas-Home in Macmillan's case and May in Cameron's case).

I forgot if I mentioned this, but I highly recommend this board game on the early presidency. Players starts with Washington and play until the Civil War occurs or is averted. Players attempt to win the presidency. Presidents handle issues by making decisions. It's definitely the best board game involving the presidency. It's called Founding Fathers. There's another game of this name about the Constitutional Convention, which is alright, but this one is better. I'm hoping someone can convert this game to PC at some point. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/35423/founding-fathers

New Historical President RP

Traditional Councilman Jack Colton Declares Candidacy for Sconclairship! Cncl. Colton of the Traditional Party, currently the largest represented party in the legislative body of Gott-Stein, declared his intention to be the next Sconclair of Gott-Stein. He is running on the normal Traditional Platform of back to the basics economic management, and encouraging fur production, lumber production, and production of any materials that typically are sustained outside the cities borders. His Vice Sconclair will be Cncl. Arthur Burns. Colton would see government spending dramatically decrease, with most all public works projects immediately halted if Traditional Party gains enough seats. Another large difference in the economic policy of Colton versus the current Sconclair is that he would focus on external trade, and all encouraged industries should have a positive impact on our exports as well as increase the settlement of the city outskirts.

I veto this bill. I promised the Southern Republicans that the tariff rise was not gratuitous, but rather only for responsible fiscal necessity. I will keep that promise in not standing for another increase as our current budget is sufficient. I also request, as always, debt projections. I am also privately slightly angered by this Liberal Coalition of my own party siding against itself. I remind Northern Republican leaders that I am the President and the leader of the party with a firm and respectable tone that should help jog their memory of this fact. I may be a Pennsylvanian, but that does not mean I sympathize with the North 100% nor does it mean I sympathize with the South 100% of the time. Our course should remain steady, I don't think there is much else to cut, I am satisfied with the cuts in government spending we have made thus far. I ask the Treasury Secretary for the fiscal impact of this, a CBO score if you will. I have always been a Cultural Hawk and will not cease to be firmly Pro-America which means Pro-English Culture. We will "encourage" Louisiana to conduct its business in English and to assimilate with the United States in a more meaningful cultural way. We should also treat organized movements to leave the unions as treasonous talk. Once more I thank Lafayette for his friendship and support but decline and tell him I'd prefer Louisiana to integrate into American Society. (I'll get to the rest tomorrow)

Very cool! -
Played as Kennedy\McCarthy against a Rockefeller\Reagan unity ticket (as was at one point considered against Nixon) and Wallace\Chandler (his original VP choice before irreconcilable differences on segregation). Full Results: BobbyK.csv

How to get the "I" party symbol
CHILLYKILLERBOMB replied to CHILLYKILLERBOMB's topic in Game Feedback
oh your right, I keep forgetting we have access to all these things. -
Why don't you just borrow it directly from the 2016 scenario?
-
Does anyone know where I can find the "I" picture used for Evan McMullin in the 2016 scenario?
