Atlas Election 2012: ELECTION DAY

[Vepres]

Wow, Joe. Kudos on this which is obviously a very significant effort on your part.
I enjoyed the primary threads, so hopefully the fun continues.

Thanks for the work!

[Vepres]

I hope future elections won't necessarily be 50/50, just so that it is more real.

I endorse Hudson.

[Vepres]

Yeah, you're killing him Hudson!

[Vepres]

Stop fundraising, and start campaigning, Xiao!  We're pullin for ya!

Nah, he's gonna put all that money in a Swiss bank account, drop out, and move to Rio

[Vepres]

Ahem

[Vepres]

How do you decide if the event is positive or negative? Coin flip?

[Vepres]

I endorse Hudson

Woah!

[Vepres]

Me impatient, Moar!

My fellow Americans, I am proud to be Helen Hudson's Vice-Presidential nominee.

As you know, we face many challenges as a country, and it would be foolish to go down the radical path of the democratic socialist Xander Xiao. We cannot have the government supress innovation, entreprenualship, and punish success like Xiao would would have it do. The only way for us to succeed as a nation is to come together around Helen Hudson, a pragmatic conservative who is in touch with the common person. Only she can lead us down the path of future success and prosperity.

Thank you, and God bless.

No map for the moment I take it?

Correct.  That'll come after the RNC.

Also are the speakers just Republicans or can Dems speak 2?

If you want rotten tomatoes and metal spears thrown at you

VP nominee Pickering takes the stage

Highlights:

"My fellow Americans, we are in trying times. It is time to unite, not divide. Time to fight for the people and not just the interests of groups that will get you elected. I believe that Helen Hudson is best person to do this. She has proven to be a pragmatic moderate, who believes in the people and not the pundits or the politicians. She will unite us to help us through these trying times."

"Our opponents endorse the old socialist policies of the 20th century. They are deceiving themselves and their supporters if they think that government that large will solve more problems than it creates. No, we must remind ourselves that it was under the great Ronald Reagan, who shrunk government, that we were propelled into a decade and a half of economic prosperity."

"It's time to say enough is enough. Time to elect somebody who not only will fight for the people, but is one of the people, Helen Hudson!"

Meanwhile, income from the sale of Pamela Pickering's chain of illegal brothels has increased the ticket's campaign fund by 30 credits.

I like this

Okaaay, I think it's time to call an end to this.  I don't mean the DNC; I mean the whole game.  Unless there's enough of an outcry, I'm going to skip right forward to election day (i.e. game over) on Tuesday.

I liked it, but the game needed to move faster. Perhaps have 1 turn = a month per-convention and 1 turn = two weeks post convention.
