Hey Guys,

Here's a sneak preview of the Atlas for America: President Forever Scenario. I tested it out between me (Rockefeller) vs. hughento (Chris Dodd) vs. Verily (Bloomberg). Here's what happened.

Better than I expected going by my real (non watered down) positions. One thing though, I tried using the electoral calculator for that map and got 187 (D)/351 (R).

NDN you were almost the winner in Illinois and West Virginia but you lost by about 0.5% of the vote to Don Johnson.

[NDN]

I wonder how I lost California but won Missouri running on that platform. Also my posts keep on getting deleted randomly.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Are you going to run everyone?

[Robespierre's Jaw]

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Are you going to run everyone?

Yes. But those are just some sneak peaks at the scenario. I'll send it out tomorrow. Version 1.1 anyway .

Are you going to run it like a tournament, or just have each of us run against the other person?
