npm32 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 With the upcoming election in Germany is there any chance of a German version of the game or at least a German scenario? Link to post Share on other sites
johnny_raoul 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 i'm sure someone will do one Link to post Share on other sites
dr abc 9 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 i'm sure someone will do one <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You mean a scenario? Not possible, it works with proportional rep. I'm also waiting for this. How hard can it be to change the voting system? I'm sure 80soft could do a PR4E in a couple of days if they wanted. Link to post Share on other sites
K-uglen 2 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 It'd be great to play! You COULD do it with the PMF game engine, but it'd be very unrealistic, but I'd probably play it nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites
dr abc 9 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 It looks like it'll be a landslide for the CDU. Not all that much fun if you're playing the SDP. Link to post Share on other sites

dr abc 9 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 SPD It'll be a challenge! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 'Social democratic party', no? Or is it 'sozialdemocrat partei deutschland' (sp?) ? Link to post Share on other sites

johnny_raoul 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 German Chancellor is largely symbolic, ain't it? Not much, if any, real legislative power - more of a "chief diplomat" role??? Link to post Share on other sites

The President is largely symbolic and elected by the parliament. Link to post Share on other sites
HabsFan21 4 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Yeah, the German President is much like the Irish President or the Commonwealth Governor General. Link to post Share on other sites

Bane 0 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Oh, and plus while there's plenty of US sims on the market...there's no real German sims. That's a good untapped market there. Link to post Share on other sites
alex xauw 1 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 what about a new P4E update? who really cares about germany? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> in addition to germans, i think the german system uses proportional representation, so it opens up the possibilities for other scenarios...

RonnieRaygun04 3 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 what about a new P4E update? who really cares about germany? Though I certainly want that P4E update...I'm starting to doubt whether or not it will ever come. Germany would be cool thats for sure. With that system in place, there would be nothing to stop us from doing other PR systems (Israel anyone? ) Link to post Share on other sites
Hardrightconservative 5 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 in addition to germans, i think the german system uses proportional representation, so it opens up the possibilities for other scenarios... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats true!

dr abc 9 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Thats true! That would open up a whole new range of scenarios! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, I cannot emphasize how much that's the case. With FPTP (PM4E-UK/Canada) you are limited to... UK USA Canada India Carribbean Islands Kenya Malaysia One other African country (can't remember which) All Latin America, nearly all of Asia, all of Oceania, all of Europe except the UK does not use FPTP.

Hardrightconservative 5 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 It would be nice to toggle the use of different electoral systems in a scenario. Link to post Share on other sites

Also a very informative feature in general, as the effect of electoral systems on electoral results are also quite a field in political science Link to post Share on other sites
