mz452 20 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 The 2008 Vermont Gubernatorial Election should be interesting. A popular GOP governor, Dem. Speaker, and a hugely popular progressive candidate. Someone should make this. I would, but I don't have a lot of time. For info, go to wikipedia or ourcampaigns.com --Matty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MatthewBreuer 0 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I was working on this, but then my copy of Campaigns Forever wouldn't activate, and support never fixed the problem after I sent them a million emails. I may still try to flush it out by editing the text files, it'll just be a bitch to do. EDIT: I would LOVE any help I can get on this for the record, I have a map done, but I really need help with issues and the different positions for each of the issues. I know the candidates really well, and can assign their positions/percentages, I am just terrible at figuring out issues and how to break them up. Would love to have someone to collaborate with on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MatthewBreuer 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 This is officially a project underway, so I thought I'd post updates. Candidates: DEMOCRATS - Speaker of the House Gaye Symington REPUBLICANS - Governor Jim Douglas PROGRESSIVES - Anthony Pollina Notes: With these three candidates looking to be the only competition this summer, I am moving forward with just them in the game. That said, the game will/should start in the "primary" season, just so Anthony Pollina's huge time advantage in this campaign can at least give him in-game time to make up ground. Once complete, I can add in further things, like hypothetical candidates, and maybe even the stupid Marijuana Party. Percentages: Done, for the whole state. Slightly high undecided numbers, but I figure it is fair to make up for the large amount of True Vermont Independents. Republicans lead 12 counties, Democrats ahead in 2 Issues: No work done, would like help here if available. Endorsers: No work done, would like help here if available. Events: No work done, would like help here if available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MatthewBreuer 0 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Done issues (need to make icons), percentages solidified, just endorsers, events, and figuring out the money issues to deal with. If people would like to play this upon it's completion, post e-mails and I'll send it out once I'm happy with it. Will still need feedback if people find errors, or if others have suggestions to improve it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MatthewBreuer 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Just updating you guys, I"m working on figuring out what money metrics are realistic and work within the context of the game, once I get that under wraps, we should be good to go. The game is going to be a big challenge for those playing as Pollina (I haven't come close), but with a bit of luck, I've seen him narrowly capture the popular vote while the electoral college got thrown up in the air (It'd be political suicide for the legislature to overturn the will of the people up here). I'm worried that I might not be giving Douglas the strength he deserves; while he's a lame duck governor, he's run incredible successful campaigns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MatthewBreuer 0 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 It's awesome to see the interest, I've been holding off from working on it because Pollina had scheduled a huge event downtown where it was contemplated that he might leave the race and run for Lt. Governor, but he is here to stay. I'm in the middle of exams, but I will be knocking this out bit by bit, and will have some version out in the next two weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DTM 0 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I live in Vermont and am closely following this race, so i'd be glad to help if needed. And Patine, no, the party has very very little support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
