Anthony_270 934 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 @darkmoon72 Ya, it's pretty difficult to simulate. My view is the %s in the election results can be understood to include any recounts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RI Democrat 39 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Just a question - do you plan to update the candidates in the new Canada 2019 scenario after the parties finish choosing their candidates? (Or maybe they already have, I don't know.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, THAT disappointment is easy to fix. Adding a functional MMP or PR mod to PMI that actually works and enables a majority of my projected custom election scenarios to work properly is well beyond my power, however. The disappointments are notable in number... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Natalie 0 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Better Instant runoff system (just for PI). Should just be between the top two candidates. Is there any way I can do this manually? And different electoral systems for CI and PMIÂ like PR and thresholds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheLiberalKitten 321 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 MMP and PR would be a great addition as this would allow for more scenario creation. Time to start a Kickstarter  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The port to a new tool-chain is underway, which is the #1 priority now. Once that is done, we'll be in primaries season, then build up to general election. Maybe after 2020.

I'm not at all sure what a "tool chain" is, but I imagine my interest in it will be infintessimal compared to the tools to make custom scenarios for the majority of meaningful world elections...

All games will not work on the new Mac operating system that will probably be released in October (without a virtual machine). I already have people e-mailing me who are using the Catalina beta. This requires a complete port of the game to a new tool-chain (all the stuff that's used to make the games).  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actinguy 862 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 On 9/6/2019 at 12:50 PM, pilight said: We need a drop dead date for undecided candidates to enter the primaries, after which they'll stop being included in the polls. Also, once an undecided candidate is "not seeking" they should be out of the race and the polls. Seconded. I'd propose that time be August of the year before the election.  This election (2020), the last person to throw their hat in was I think Steyer was the last to declare for the Democrats, and that was in July. The last candidate to declare and poll at 5% or better right now was Biden back in late April -- who entered the race already as a known entity. The latest an unknown entity was able to declare and still reach at least 5% was Pete Buttigieg in March. I think an August cut-off is more than fair -- anyone who would be joining the real world election at this point in September would just be a laughing stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is going nowhere and I'm getting upset. You're trying to turn this entirely on me and avoid admitting any fault or responsibility in the matter at all or that your method of approaching game design is anything short of stellar and above reproach. I am logging to calm down before I potentially type something regrettable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
