The New President Forever Results Thread

[Gustaf]

I ran Gore/Clark v Bush/Cheney. We won a debate each and were fairly close until I managed a power 6 scandal on him in the final days and pulled ahead deciseively.


Somehow I manged to sweep the South on election day:



Gore: 54% of PV, 418 EVs

Bush: 46% of PV, 120 EVs

Closest states were CA, FL and TX, all decided by a point, 50-49.

I, GOre, did not get below 30% anywhere and I got above 60% in several states Note Indiana at the bottom! :

DC: 88%

RI: 68%

VT: 67%

NV: 65%

MA: 65%

WA: 63%

TN: 62%

IL: 62%

WI: 62%

NJ: 61%

HI: 61%

IN: 60%

PA: 60%

[ilikeverin]

IN: 60%

My hero!

[JohnFKennedy]

Played as Perot in 1992, only won one state but came second in a few and broke thirty percent in five or six I think.



Clinton/Gore: 305 Electoral Votes - 40% - 45,057,680
Bush/Quayle: 230 Electoral Votes - 36% - 40,442,634
Perot/Stockdale: 3 Electoral Votes - 21% - 23,816,361
Marrou/Lord: 0 Electoral Votes - 0% - 967,001

Wyoming I took 37.3% of the vote
Maine I took 34.3% of the vote
South and North Dakota I took 31.1% of the vote
Utah I took 34.3% of the vote
Rhode Island I took 30.8% of the vote
Massachusetts I took 31.1% of the vote
Minnesota I took 32.8% of the vote
Alaska I took 33.6% of the vote
Oklahoma I took 30.0% of the vote
Idaho I took 33.9% of the vote
Vermont I took 33.9% of the vote


I just missed out on 30% in Missouri, Texas, Wisconsin, Oregon, Washington and a few others.


Interesting range of support eh? Massachussetts and Utah, Idaho and Rhode Island? Pretty odd.

MONDALE BEATS REAGAN! 276-262
http://www.geocities.com/chief_dk/mondalevictory.html
Reagan wins the popular vote
Reagan:  49%
Mondale: 48%

Without dynamism on, but with economy and regionalism.  I had pretty much given up when I lost Ohio, North Carolina and Georgia early on, but then came my surprise win in California.  Easily one of the hardest President Forever victories I've ever achieved.

This game is to much geared towards 2004 in the older scenarios. I played 1952 and the results were almost identical to 2000. Impossible for that to be true in 1952.

Yeah, the 1960 scenario has Georgia "Nixon Solid", when infact Georgia was Kennedy's Best State next to Rhode Island...

[PBrunsel]

That 1932 Scenario is very partisan to FDR. I made things more fair.

Where can I get the 1932 Secnario? I neeeeeeeeed it!

The slant to FDR will make you throw up.

[ilikeverin]

Ooooh, I just saw a big mistake.

Jefferson Davis could not have run again in 1866, due to Confederate term limits

Bad William Conlin.

Technically a case can be made that Jefferson Davis was not elected but rather selected by the Confederate Constitutional Convention. Theoretically, he could run again and win on his own merit.

Augh, FDR is my favorite president and I still wince at the slant!

FDR should not have all 5s (especially on Stamina... he had polio, silly ), and Hoover should not have all 1s.

If you want to show that Hoover was pretty much doomed, then show it in the initial state percentages, not with the candidates

[MHS2002]

Plus it has Hoover as all Left on his issue positions with Roosevelt all Center. It's a pretty bad scenario, I deleted it after a couple of tries.

[??????????]

I easily beat Lee in the 1866 scenario. Twice.

[PBrunsel]

Ooooh, I just saw a big mistake.

Jefferson Davis could not have run again in 1866, due to Confederate term limits

Bad William Conlin.

And Davis was from Mississippi, not Kentucky

The forum should form a 'Scenario Improvement Task Force'

Powell/Rice v Sharpton/Lieberman

I had it in the bag, but I ran out of money without noticing with 2-3 days left. Otherwise I would have swept it. My best state was North Dakota, where I got 73%. The tossups were Michigan, California and Hawaii.

[PBrunsel]

This is 1932, and my homemade scenario:

Herbert Hoover: 418

Franklin Roosevelt: 113

I had a '32 scenario (and was working on a '28 scenario) when I had to defrag my computer and I lost it. I have made a substitute.

Pbrunsel, why don't you send them in?

[PBrunsel]

Pbrunsel, why don't you send them in?

My first 1932 Scenario was poorly put together and the state of Utah was always going 100% for FDR even if I spent all my time campaigning there. I have remade a scenario of 1932 and I will send it in when I get the polished copy ready.

You can edit the electoral trends you know.

Playing Anderson 1980



Reagan/Bush: 322 EVs, 38% - 38,493,815

Anderson/Lucey: 160 EVs, 33% - 33,895,310

Carter/Mondale: 56 EVs, 27% - 27,746,469

[Volrath50]

I just bought this game today. I continued on from my demo save game as Kerry I started a few weeks ago and this was my result:



Kerry: 304 EVs, 50% - 62,731,564
Bush: 234 EVs, 43% - 53,792,674
Nader: 0 EVs, 4% - 5,976,331
Nolan: 0 EVs, 1% - 2,039,104

Bush stole California from me at the last minute, and I stole Nebraska from him at the last minute. Not a great trade.

[Volrath50]

This game is pretty crazy. PM Forever, which I bought before this, usually turns out semi-realistic... Anyway, President Al Sharpton had an interesting election. There were two close states: Arkansas (which Nader cost me) and Illinois. Everything else was a 60-35 blowout for either side.



Sharpton/Dean: 335 EVs, 50% - 62,412,706
Bush/Cheney: 203 EVs, 44% - 55,596,399
Nader/Camejo: 0 EVs, 3% - 4,239,753
Badnarik/Campanga: 0 EVs, 1% - 2,061,566

Any suggestions on how to realistify it, and avoid one sided blowouts in almost every state?
