Mrdie 2 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I have noticed bugs in the game. 2004 was basically insane for various reasons, including Bush pretty much dominating the entire election. And in 2008, I see the Constitution party in the lead in Alaska and Alabama. Ah well, the game has huge revamps and changes, so, yeah, a lot of bugs to be expected. Edit: Also, election night has certainly improved much, but can it be sped up a bit for those who would be testing scenarios, or just feel like running fast campaigns?

Highland Call 0 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Yep, 2004 was strange. I had the Libertairians win Alabama. Election Night, though... wow Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mrdie 2 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=3721793 The results were much more dramatic than in the last games. At times, it predicted Bush as the winner, then Dean, then Bush, then Dean, then, well, yeah. In the end, Dean/Nelson won the 2004 election as the Constitution Party and Libertarian Party somehow won states. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaskGuy 16 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Sure takes some getting used to having primaries in different dates. Gives me a better understanding of how the primary system works. First time through, I had no idea what I was doing and got trashed as Edwards in 2004. Do they really only have 2 or 3 million on hand? Doesn't seem like a lot.

Mrdie 2 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Do they really only have 2 or 3 million on hand? Doesn't seem like a lot.Yep. The DNC/RNC/etc funds them when they win the primaries and go onto the general election. Other than that, their pretty much on their own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaskGuy 16 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I looked at Wikipedia and many of the frontrunners had raised more then 7 million by the end of the third quarter of 2003 - when the game starts. Might have to fiddle with the funding levels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might have to fiddle with the funding levels. But the funding figures are only notional anyway. in any case, certain costs eran't calculated into it, so it's only how much cash each candidate has in comparison with the others that matters.

Sanmari 0 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Wait, people have already been getting their pre-orders? I just used the pre-order function to purchase it because I didn't see an option to purchase it regularly. I've been charged for the product--will there be another batch of e-mails sent out, then?

I just used the pre-order function to purchase it because I didn't see an option to purchase it regularly. I've been charged for the product--will there be another batch of e-mails sent out, then? It takes up to three hours for it to be sent out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor 1 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I bought my copy How long before we get it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LiberalUK 4 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I bought my copy How long before we get it? Calm down. It's so full of bugs as to be unplayable. If we want a working copy Congress Forever in time for the elections (which was always unlikely), the we'll have to wait on P4EP for quite some time. I'm going to try and put all of this out of my mind because version 1.00.1 still fails to address serious issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
