Atlasia Forever - October 2010

[Vepres]

That doesn't really make sense. Washington and Oregon are stagnant backwaters marching to the beat of the Dear Leader.

Well, the electoral map is based off US, not Atlasia, though I did contemplate having the states be based off of Registration.

Perhaps you could come out with a version for each. One where the states' politics are based on the US, and one where it is based on Atlasian registration.

Perhaps... depends on time constraints and how eager I am to start a new project.

Of course, I wouldn't at all be opposed to someone else adapting the save file I have and changing the percentages.. as long as it was made clear as a 'different' version.

Okay, so I started fleshing out the scenario with the RPP in it.

RPP

AHDuke99
Inks.LWC
North Carolina Yankee (Off)
Rowan Brandon (Off)
Smid (Off)
MasterJedi (Off)
PiT (Off)
A-Bob (Off)
True Conservative (Off)
DWTL (Off)*


* Added just for hilarity.

Any recommendations on other good candidates for the RPP bench?

How about me!

[Barnes]

Ooh, I want to be a VP Candidate!

You can have me form Georgia, too!; )

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

A map I brainstormed:

30% - Edge
40% - Lean
50% - Strong

Might make Nevada Green, but this goes under the premise that PS is a popular incumbent.

Minnesota should be Green, presuming Green is POP.

POP would have a fighting chance in California, and the RPP in Pennsylvania.

In an open election, certainly - though this goes under the theme that Purple State is a decent incumbent, which would tip the scales in his favor.

I'd be inclined to make Minnesota and even Cali pink-red, but with two Right-of-center parties splitting the vote it will be very hard to overcome.

I'd be into playing a game based on an equal start for all 3 parties!

Something like this maybe:

Something like this maybe:

Give CA and Oregon to JCP and give the rest of New England to POP like it is normally

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Then it's not balanced

How about a Midwest OFKA Governor election with such major issues as smilies and hugging and the head of ilikeverin

You'd have to make it... I don't have Campaigns Forever, I can only edit an existing scenario.

Hey, I don't have it either, for I *sad violin* am a poor

Update!

I started fleshing out the RPP primary - I need to figure out how to set dates rather than them having a 50 state primary all in one day. Added Tmthforu94 to the bench of candidates.

As for the primary cycle - Duke leads in most of New England, Inks has great strength in the rust belt, Yankee dominates the South, Tmth leads in the plains, and True Conservative leads in KY+VA. Might add more candidates.

Here are two issues that I added to the scenario (For those that have not tried it yet)

Regional Rights

Far-Left - Abolish all regions! Universalism is the way to go.

Left - Abolish Regional Senate seats.

Center-Left - Constitutional amendments should be by the populace, not the region.

Center - The status-quo is fine.

Center-Right - Preserve the status-quo, Senate legislation should be more region-friendly.

Right - All Senate seats should be Regional, scale-down the power of the Senate in favor of self-government.

Far-Right - Nullification and secession are okay.

Game Reform

Far-Left - We need substantial game reform!!! Start from scratch!!

Left - Push for a legislative reboot and potentially re-examine regions.

Center-Left - We need some game reform. Continue the Constitutional Convention.

Center - The Third Atlasian Constitution is good, but needs work. Continue consolidation of some legislation.

Center-Right - Enough has been done at the Constitutional Convention. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Right - We should stop meddling with the Constitution before we do anymore damage.

Far-Right - The Constitutional Convention is a plot to further the agenda of the JCP.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I'd actually be more interested to play if there were only 5 states, each matching one of our regions. EV based on how many votes from each region

[Хahar 🤔]

Universalism is not the same thing as abolition of regions. I want to abolish regions, but I am not a universalist.

I can't wait to play as myself!

Just a (very late) comment. I would personally make Vermont 30% red, though it would essentially be a swing state. Unless you have some rationale I haven't thought of ?

Nostalgia for the good old days where Vermont/New Hampshire/Maine were uber Republican. Vermont is underrated for it's conservatism, so...

Wait a minute.

Since this is Atlasia Forever, shouldn't you be setting the defaults for each state based on the actual Atlasian figures? In that case, Vermont should be JCP or whatever depending on what Atlasians are registered there.

The downside of this, of course, is that Atlasians come and go, and move to different states and regions sometimes, which alters the partisan breakdown of each state far more than it would in real life.

Yeah...

I wouldn't find that to be that meaningful, since 2 registrations could change how a state swings, and we're dealing with electoral votes.. say Texas for instance, that would swing 30+ EV's over one registration, plus states that have no residents...

Also, I like the idea of drawing inferences from US states better.

I want it.
