Rolled a 3. 5 (on the card) + 3 (the roll) = 8. @mlcorcoran Thomas Jefferson and Secretary @Herbert Hoover Benjamin Franklin become even more hated, losing 1 popularity each. I'll work on updating the sheet. In the meantime, any more taxes, @mlcorcoran? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlcorcoran 71 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Jefferson's burning bridges tour has come to an end Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlcorcoran 71 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 TREASURY PHASE A revenue of 52 against a debt of -30 results in a new federal balance of 22 ELECTION PHASE Jefferson retires with his starting popularity reduced from 5 to 2. The liberals turn to James Madison @Woot as the frontrunner to run for President. If Madison refuses, runner-up Edmund Randolph will be obligated to run. They are tied for popularity but Madison is the older of the two setting the tie. The conservatives look to John Jay @Leuser as their frontrunner to run for President. If he declines, Alexander Hamilton @Leuser would be obligated to run in his stead. Public Support is neutral but Jay is the more popular of the candidates in the race, so action turns first to @Woot to accept or decline Madison's nomination Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actinguy 862 Posted February 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Action to @Woot to name a Vice President. Keep in mind the 12th amendment has not passed yet, so your VP can be both an ally and an opponent capable of seizing the Presidency for himself if he gets more electoral votes than you do. Each State gets to vote twice, for two separate candidates. They might choose the President and VP of the same party, or of opposing parties, or both Presidential candidates, or both VP candidates, or whatever other combinations exist.

Standby, want to double check the rules on Gerry's bipartisanship. I recall that he can't be a Presidential nominee, but not sure about VP. Checking now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Actinguy 862 Posted February 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Ok. Here's the Elbridge Gerry rule, per the rulebook: ELBRIDGE GERRY Consider this Statesman as belonging to either Party; he is never a Party leader, even if President. As President he does not observe Party alignment in appointing Officers. He can only run for President in the event of Single Party Dominance. In the event of economic crisis, Public Support moves only toward 0 instead of away from a Party. When running for President, he always announces his running mate first. In resolving Elections, he always places markers last unless Public Support is at 0, in which case he places first. If he is President, the order of control of Newspapers is first the Party with the most Public Support, failing that the Party leader with more Popularity, following that the Party leader with the lower Age number. There's nothing there about him not being able to run for Vice President, so I'll allow it. The ticket is Madison-Gerry. Action to @Leuser to name his VP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leuser 16 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hamilton will be joining Jay. Neither candidate will defer placing a cube. Both start in NY. Both will move first to PA. Madison is locked and done in NE. @Woot Gerry's move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
