Republican Primary Campaign - tmthforu94 wins!

[Alexander Hamilton]

5 campaign tokens, 8 bonus tokens

[fezzyfestoon]

5 campaign and 4 bonus tokens, please.

[Bacon King]

Nothin'

[Devilman88]

Joe, I have a question. When you use attack tokens, does that take 25% away from your score as well, or just the person you are attacking?

[AndrewTX]

I'll use 5 campaign tokens.

Joe, I have a question. When you use attack tokens, does that take 25% away from your score as well, or just the person you are attacking?

Running a negative campaign hurts the candidate running it many times, though not quite as much as it hurts the person they are attacking. I would assume it would hurt you a bit, but Joe gets to make the call.

Joe, I have a question. When you use attack tokens, does that take 25% away from your score as well, or just the person you are attacking?

No, just the person you're attacking.  But don't forget that credits spent on attack tokens are gone for good, and then of course there's the risk that your victim will retaliate...

[Joe Republic]

A poll* has just been released by the Mypalfish Institute on the shape of the race in New Hampshire as of this moment:

Williams	19%
Romano	19%
Atkins	18%
Pickering	14%
Jessop	10%
Cooper	8%
Hudson	6%
Kessler	4%
Spencer	1%
Vasquez	<1%
Emerson	(Not competing here)

* Just for fun, but hopefully somewhat useful in determining the strengths of each candidate's campaign at this point.

Running a negative campaign hurts the candidate running it many times, though not quite as much as it hurts the person they are attacking. I would assume it would hurt you a bit, but Joe gets to make the call.

I think the fact that attack tokens can't be won back is what simulates that effect.

[Joe Republic]

I'll use 2 campaign tokens and 1 attack token each on both Helen Hudson and Clay Cooper.

Just to clarify: this means you're not buying any attack tokens, right?  I'll assume you're not for now.

[Joe Republic]

I've received a question, which I may as well answer here:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I may as well lock the thread once I've received instructions from all Republicans; no need to wait for the Democrats as well.

Incidentally, we're only waiting on Hashemite now.

[Bacon King]

I'll change back, five attack tokens on Hudson.

[Historia Crux]

I'll use 5 campaign tokens and two bonus tokens for now.

Guess I'll bump up my game a little. Gotta take the Granite State!

[Hash]

5 campaign, 1 bonus and 3 attack against Romano.

[Alexander Hamilton]

I'll add 4 attack tokens against Vasquez to my total.

[Joe Republic]

Okay, now that we have instructions from all candidates, I'm going to lock the thread in about an hour and calculate the results.

Says person who attacked first, lol. But I'm open to a mutual non-aggression deal if you want.

actually, i noticed that you werent the one who attacked me last round and withdrew that attack. and then put it back when you proceeded to attack me

I don't like running attack campaigns.

[Joe Republic]

Just a quick FYI:  I'm going to simplify things a tiny bit by rounding everything except percentages to the nearest whole number.  It shouldn't make any difference unless there's a tie; in which case I'll bring back decimals in those cases.  Percentages will remain using one decimal place.
