Guest Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Why is the campaign a toss-up in the beginning of the general, @servo75? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

servo75 31 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'll look into the debate part. I'm not sure what you mean by being a toss-up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
servo75 31 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Ok I'm turning invites on and putting a 5% requirement, but I see no other way to keep a party out of a debate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're already apportioned by population. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

servo75 31 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Okay I've done the other two things, I'm going to test it with the seats as they are, setting the populations will take a little longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The last few elections Republicans have done uncharacteristically well. Christie had a Reagan-esque performance in 2013 so just setting the region percentages equal to the last election won't work. So I tried averaging the percentages from the last 3 elections. That's what you see now. I tried polls to match the current 50-35 Democrat advantage. Unfortunately that set ALL counties to those percentages, so the entire map was blue which was also unrealistic. I haven't had the time to make a separate general election poll for each country. I've made some suggestions to @admin270 to make poll creation more streamlined. This is the dilemma we face, where a particular candidate from a party will significantly overperform or underperform relative to other candidates, so we need something on top of party region percentages, but the polls seem to be too powerful. I will experiment with general election polls for a few red counties, but I'm not sure that will make things better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
servo75 31 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Ach! Now I'm getting the "NAN is not a valid currency value" when starting a campaign. I have no idea how this happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 @admin_270 Really needs to release a patch for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
servo75 31 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Ok I'm just going to set it back to the way it was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that we need better error handling in general. @admin_270 it can get frustrating trying to figure out these crash messages. It would be nice to put error handling in to get more user-friendly messages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jvikings1 51 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'd wait to finalize the polling numbers until the election actually happens. This will help when trying to set how counties lean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
