CountArach 0 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 A question to TheorySpark - I'm just looking through the files and is there any way for starting Electability to be changed? If not then what goes into the calculation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abe Lincoln 9 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 A question If and when will electability be included in campaigns forever Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 833 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Yes, he sometimes takes one or several states. Before, he regularly won the Republican side. Based on the testing we've done, the Ron Paul Problem is significantly reduced. [Paul] always takes one of the early and several super tuesday states. Biden Dodd and Kuchinich regularly win contests they shouldn't Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 833 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Electability = momentum - distance from center + attributes Electability is calculated automatically, it's not set by the scenario. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VoteGOP 490 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think should get a new section of the forum going for setting up multiplayer matches. Instead of flooding pre existing threads we should have our own forum for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VoteGOP 490 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Found a small issue in single player. I was space barring as the libertarians watching the GOP primaries. When I finish each turn it reverts back to my primary screen (which is only me). It didn't use to be that way but its very inconvient for space barring. Also the dark colors for the "strong" states aren't as dark on election night. Its barely distingushable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Killjoy 1 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 The problems I've had with the Beta happen when I end the first turn. With both the 1992 and 2000 scenarios, the game stops with the error message: Invalid floating point operation. In case it will help clarify matters, I was playing (or attempting to play) as Tsongas in 1992 and as Gore in 2000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
