"Not Seeking" and "Undeclared"

[lizphairphreak 14]

Hi all,

I haven't played in a while, but I was playing a primary in PI the other night and started my candidate as "Not Seeking." 

I was wondering what the difference between "Undeclared" and "Not seeking" was.

Additionally, I was wondering what kind of tasks a candidate could do as either of these categories. For example, I was wondering if there is a way to make offers/deals with other candidates even before entering the race. In this, it would be, for example, offering yourself as a surrogate to another candidate if they move their issue position, etc.

Anyway, really what I'm asking for is, is there a breakdown of what a player can do as an undeclared or not seeking candidate?

Thank you!

so from my experience, being not seeking means that the candidate will just be there not aiming to win any primaries and is just a factor to affect other candidates. Undeclared means that depending on what candidate they are, they will randomly join in the middle of the race as a declared candidate and will be able to do things such as putting your name in the ballots in a primary. I never seen this happened to an undeclared candidate, but that's supposedly what they do. I don't think it matters whether your undeclared or not seeking, it all depends whether you join the race or not. Hope this helps!

'Not seeking' limits your actions beyond 'Undeclared'.

You can simply start a game and attempt actions as 'Not seeking' to see what you can do, similarly for 'Undeclared'.
