Patine 385 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Will the BR oil disaster be used to impact the 2010 scenario in scripted events in a later iteration? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abe Lincoln 9 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Will the BR oil disaster be used to impact the 2010 scenario in scripted events in a later iteration? It's hard to access the political effects of our current mess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 627 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Maybe - it has happened before the game starts (in September 2010). We'll see as things unfold. I think it has certainly shifted the center on off-shore drilling, though, which could be part of the Energy or Environment issues, or become an issue in itself.

Anthony Burgoyne http://www.TheorySpark.com Games that spark the political imagination! Prior to the spill 67% of Americans reported that they supported offshore drilling according to Rasmussen, now 64% report that they do, so I don't think it actually had a big impact.

I don't really trust Rasmussen, they do strange things with the wording and on Obama's job approval rating, consider "unsure," "disapprove," something they didn't do with Bush.

So your proposing that a normally very accurate polling source is over 14% off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dog Democrat 9 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 So your proposing that a normally very accurate polling source is over 14% off? The thing is, they aren't accurate, they skewer things in the conservatives favor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On all elections thus far they have been within the margin of error and that's the only measurable way to check the polls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abe Lincoln 9 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 When I select a state I'm unable to scroll through the seats and thus can only see results for the 1st seat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 627 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Are you referring to the Senate? With a few exceptions (such as New York in 2010), there's only one seat up for election in any given state in any given year (and in some states, no seats).

Anthony Burgoyne Lead Game Designer http://www.TheorySpark.com Games that spark the political imagination! Yes the senate election but in Florida, for instance, it is only allowing me to view the seat which isn't up for grabs and which only has one candidate in it. Also the 2 independents aren't included so I assume those 2 seats are being counted for the Dems? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 627 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Can you be a little more specific about what's happening for you when trying to view Florida? I just tried it with all parties, and I could see both seats. Anthony Burgoyne Lead Game Designer http://www.TheorySpark.com Games that spark the political imagination!

Abe Lincoln 9 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but what I meant is that during election night while I'm viewing the results, if I click onto the state to look at seat-by-seat results it will only show me the off year one for Florida and some others.

Scratch that I think that the only election going on is the one and the off year isn't being simulated by just one candidate so the election results for the state are the same as for that seat. Am I correct on this? My bad for the trouble if so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 627 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 When you click a state during election night, it should display the state totals. Click the state again and it will display the first seat. Two blue arrows will appear at the bottom of the percentages panel. Use those to view the other seat in the state.

admin_270 627 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 You should be able to alternate between the two seats in a state, with the off-year seat listing the incumbent, and the other one listing percentages for the Senate candidates.
