wrestlingking235 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Ok, while I wait for Theoryspark to get back to me on my current project, I'm going to do one of those create your own candidates scenarios. 10 democrats, and 10 republicans at the max. Stats: each candidate gets 25 points to spend on stats (leadership, integrity, experience, issue familiarity, stamina, charisma, debating skill). Political Influence points: All candidates will have 15 PIPs. Issues: Each candidate will set their issue positions based off of the 2008 wonk edition issues, except for a few I'm going to change, which I'll let you know later. Starting Percentages: All candidates will start off at 1% nationally. I'll then run a few games with a space bar candidate, then I will use the results from the primaries to determine who will start off at what percentage where. Crusaders: Each candidate gets one crusader with a cost of 0 PIPs, and a power of 1, for unlimited days (wife, relative). Each candidate may also have one more crusader. This crusader can have up to a power of 4, but will cost 5 PIPs. A power of 3 = 4 points, 2 = 3, and 1 = 2. These crusaders will have 150 days. Funds: All candidates will have $1,500,000. Candidates can give up PIPs, with 1 PIP = $200,000, in order to gain more money How Well Known: All candidates will be set at Medium. By random drawing, 2 candidates will be set to High, and 1 set to low. Candidates can always request that their level be set lower, but not higher. How Well Established: All candidates start at 3. By random drawing, 1 candidate will be set at 4 VPs: All VPs will be generated by me, but suggestions are welcome. Remember this is fictional though, so no real politicians. Bios: Candidates may be nearly anything, cabinet secretaries, senators, mayors, governors, congressmen, actors, businessmen, etc. I however have the right to veto any bio fact. The first person to post with a certain bio position has claims to that position. I can't have two current governors of Ohio running... Scenario Background: The outgoing President is Howard Thune, very similar to George Bush. His unpopular war in Quman(Fictional Middle Eastern Country Similar to Iraq) has the nation weary and the war on terror has put citizens on edge. The 2008 election is shaping up to be a very divisive election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlingking235 Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 I'll make the first Candidate Name: Secretary James Knupp Age: 63 Home State: Illinois Bio: Secretary Knupp served as Illinois' senator in the late 80's, early 90's, before becoming the Secretary of State to the Democratic Branson administration. Serving there for all 8 years of the administration, he became known for diffusing potentially volatile situations in Africa and the former Soviet Union and former Yugoslav Republic. With both domestic and foreign affairs experience, Knupp seems to be well rounded for the job of President. however, his absence from any public office for nearly 7 years has some worried that he's not truly committed.

normanwisdomii Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hows about this Name: Governor Marjory-Caroline Binton (Rep) Age: 35 Home State: Oklahoma Bio: Recently elected as governor of Oklahoma, Marjory is a controversial former housewife and mother of six. In office she halved the rate of tax for the highest earners and tried to privatise social security as well as narrowly missing out on passing a bill to outlaw masturbation. Her platform will be based around large tax cuts for the richest AND a balanced federal budget as well as taking American society back to the more culturally conservative land it was before the 1960's. Many see her mental capacity as an obstacle to the presidency as she recently scored just 33 in an IQ test.

MuskogeeRepublican Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 GREAT idea - looking forward to this one! Name: Congressman John Gordon (Republican) Age: 38 Home State: Oklahoma Bio: A hero to both the evangelical Christian and more libertarian wings of the GOP, this up-and-coming Congressman is taking his brand of conservatism to the next level. Well known for causing train-wrecks in Congress with procedural motions, Gordon is a thorn in the side of anyone (even Republicans) who does not vote with his fiscal views. With a strong emphasis on cutting government, eliminating the deficit, and paying off the national debt, can he persuade the American people that he is the man for the job?
