MrBlonde 0 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 The first few steps towards a senate 2012 scenario. Percentages still need doing. Needs some testing to know the scenario is robust and functioning correctly. Edit: new version - CN, MI, NJ, TX fixed https://rapidshare.com/files/224462257/SenateUnitedStates2012.rar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ayamo 19 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I think I want to marry you. Just took a first look at it without completing even one turn, but the first impressions: GOPers are way too strong. Especially OH and MI are nowhere near where the scenario suggests they are. But it is amazing(!) to see that someone finally started a working Senate 2012 campaign. I'm very eager for the next releases! May I suggest using the RCP average numbers for the candidates as of today, since the campaign starts around September 1st? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrBlonde 0 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 The numbers indeed dont fit, its because I mass-copied in percentages.xml Its indeed a good option, though with some races polls are so far back that I honestly dont know why they still take them into account. July-August averages okay, May-August averages = less okay. I'm first going to fix the pops in the "off-year races" the variable off-year does not shut down voting on election day apparently. I also kinda forgot what party_majority refers to. Is it the number of housies in that state? Or the state legislature? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrBlonde 0 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 A new version with decent polling. Link updated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ayamo 19 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Zomg, as I was about to adjust the polling myself. Thank you, I'll immediately take a look at it. EDIT: Things I found: - Hoekstra is listed as as incumbent in MI - Polls in NJ are a bit off - some minor things like strenghts of some candidates It was a quite challenging scenario with weird things happening: Both AZ and IN went heavily for the Democrats, even though I invested quite heavily there ... Overall: Awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrBlonde 0 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'll take a look later today. Thanks for the feedback! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patine 467 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'll take a look later today. Thanks for the feedback! I noticed Ted Cruz in Texas is running unopposed. Shouldn't Paul Sadler be running against him? I'll give more feedback after I've played a few turns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrBlonde 0 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 So far I spotted (mentioned) errors in Connecticut, Michigan, Texas and New Jersey. I havent seen Indiana do anything weird, but AZ doesnt even start as it is set up so that will take a deep long look. In a few hours, I'll give the corrections. Further I cant deny its challenging, I couldnt win the 2010 scenario as either party in the first few days I finished it, while I do tend to win other 270soft games by large margins on hard.

MrBlonde 0 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Still not sure about AZ, the other things are corrected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patine 467 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Still not sure about AZ, the other things are corrected. Something else I noticed from the start: the Republican candidates' name in Vermont is just stated as "Johnny" with no last name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrBlonde 0 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 That was a placeholder, at the time I did the file the first time the primary hadnt ended yet. Will change it now. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
