Hudson and Xiao wins Iowa Caucus


It was an exciting night in Iowa as the count down to this year’s Presidential election began. 

 In the Republican Primary the popular female Governor of Arkansas, Helen Hudson, won a comfortable victory taking 25 % of the vote. Governor Hudson has long been considered one of the frontrunners for the Republican nomination, and she has now made history by being the first woman to win the Iowa caucus. Will she also make history by being the first woman elected to the White House?

Even though her win puts Hudson in a comfortable lead, she still has a long way to go if she wants to be Commander in Chief. Her most dangerous opponent seems to be the handsome and charming moderate Clay Cooper of North Carolina, who came in second to her in Iowa, claiming 17 % of Iowans’ vote.

Next up is the fairly liberal state of New Hampshire where a Moderate like Cooper will be favoured to beat the Conservative Hudson, and shortly thereafter Cooper’s neighbours in South Carolina will cast their votes.

On the Democratic side California Senator and master campaigner Xander Xiao, succeeded in taking home the Iowa caucus, winning 18 delegates. Xiao’s fellow colleague in the Senate Timothy Taylor, and former Tennessee Governor Quentin Quinn, who won 14 and 13 delegates respectively, was however not far behind.

The question now is weather Xiao’s charm and excellent campaign strategies will help him keep his advantage over the other candidates, and prove that America is indeed ready for a President who’s name they have no idea how to pronounce, or if he will eventually be brought down by one of his many fellow Democrats in the race.

Joe, I'm not trying to tell you have to play your game, but I think it might be a good idea to give bonus to candidates who placed in the top four in a primary. For example:

Let take the Iowa Results:

Hudson came in first so she would get a 100% bonus toward NH
Cooper can in second so he would get a 75% bonus toward NH
Vasquez came in third so he would get a 50% bonus toward NH
Spencer came in fourth so he would get a 25% bonus toward NH

You know, that's not a bad idea.  I'm going to float this idea in a separate thread to see how the others feel about it.

Joe, I think it might be wise to put a limit on how many bouns tokens you can you in a state. It takes the fun out of the game when someone uses 20+ bouns tokens in the game, like tmth and Xahar.

[Vepres]

But then they may have fewer to spend later. Besides, everybody will start attacking them

No, they will win the primary by 40 points or more and get alot of new tokens.

Candidates who win a primary can win no more than 5 credits, even if they win the primary by more than 5 percentage points.
