Ido Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 @NYrepublican @NYConservative @Patine active users etc. I'm planning to make all the elections in Israel's history on President Infinity, these elections are supposed to simulate the election process alone, and not the assortment of seats in the Knesset or the process of creating a government, since Israel has so many parties, i came up with a "mechanic" i'll make the smaller parties into Endorsers, when they endorse you that means that they are joining your "side" and probably your government too, for example, Shas endorses Likud, that means that they decided to ally themselves with Likud, and then their leader spawns as a surrogate. I have just finished the 2015 election you can download it right here feedback is appreciated Israel 2015.rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had planned a scheme to do Knesset elections by K4E, that would actually retain the parliamentary, multi-party, and government-forming aspects, which I personally feel are absolutely essential, but my bucket list of plans is quite large as it is.

Ido Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 yeah, but i chose to do this "mechanic" because Israel has coalition consisting of 3+ parties, for example a "winner" only gets 25% of the Knesset, so for rp purposes i decided to make the supporter "mechanic" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ido Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 @NYrepublican@Patine 2009 is ready, i also added more endorser surrogates for 2009, 2013 and 2015 cheers, Israel 2009.rar Israel 2013.rar Israel 2015.rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ido Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 @Patine so i decided to just divide Israel among the 2 main camps, the right wingers (represented by Likud) and the Left wingers (represented by Zionist Union in 2015, Avodah in 2013 and Kadima in 2009) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ido Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 can you rephrase it then? @Patine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patine Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 8 minutes ago, Ido said: can you rephrase it then? @Patine The fact is, even though not historically common, the narrow margins of victory in Knesset elections means it is possible that a party other than the historical and their main opponent can end up forming government, more plausibly than say, in the current UK, Australian, or most Canadian Federal elections, in fact - because the margin of victory is always so razor thin. That's what I mean by making "upstart victories," which are more plausible than seemingly on the surface, statistically speaking, a mechanical impossibility, nonetheless, by your proposed system.

Ido Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 @Patine I considered using PMI, but PMI doesn't simulate direct election like the Israeli system, and idk if i can have more than 2 parties in a coalition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am staggered by the bullheaded brazenness of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ido Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 @Patine again, I favor accuracy above all, but i really do not have K4E, i want Congress Infinity first to be able to simulate stuff like Midterms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ido Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 yeah but i'm short on money right now, will probably buy it in the very near future, i want to collect all the 270soft games (excluding President and Prime Minister Forever, because of the Infinity versions which are better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patine Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 11 minutes ago, Ido said: (excluding President and Prime Minister Forever, because of the Infinity versions which are better) On the surface, yes, they have many new and detailed features and additions, but, as an old hand on these forums, I'm beginning to notice aspects where PI and PMI are a bit overwrought, have unnecessary bells and whistles (with many more being demanded constantly on the "Game Feedback" forums), are much more prone to constant errors and problems than their predecessors were at this same stage of development, and can be more irritating in many areas to make scenarios with, the PM4E and P4E. But that's my own point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
