Democratic Primary Campaign - Xahar wins!

[Purple State]

People, I am not in this contest to "win" it. This was not part of the plan as told to me by the face of God.

Funny, the face and body of God told me that the plan was for you to help me defeat the anti-Christ. Or so that is how I interpreted it.

`




N.B.  To avoid the risk of no candidates competing in certain states, I'm automatically entering your candidate into every contest with one campaign token each, which will not be deducted from your credit balance.  You will not be able to withdraw that token from the primary, and you will not be able to win it back for your credit balance after the primary.  This means that you still have the chance to win a primary even if you choose not to contest it, and therefore win a number of credits based on your margin of victory.

Please post your instructions for what tokens you would like to buy to compete in this stage.  You may edit your post as many times as you like if necessary.

The thread will be temporarily locked three days from now - or after all candidates have posted instructions - so that the results can be calculated.

In the mean time, please don't be afraid to ask any questions.

28 in Washington

[Purple State]

So, no rules?

[Purple State]

28 campaign tokens in Washington.
15 campaign tokens in Nebraska.

[Хahar 🤔]

So the bonus token is still there?

[Joe Republic]

So, no rules?

I thought about it, and I'm afraid I decided against it.  I'm generally not keen on changing the rules mid-game unless it's absolutely warranted.

So the bonus token is still there?

Yes.

Umm, for single states should there not be other types of rules? Otherwise this is pointless for me to enter.

[Joe Republic]

Umm, for single states should there not be other types of rules? Otherwise this is pointless for me to enter.

Ok, I've given this some thought, and I'm prepared to alter the rules for all further primaries reinstating a limit on the number of campaign tokens that may be used to, say, ten.  Furthermore, I'll be raising the cap on MOV-pegged token awards to ten as well.  However, this won't take effect until after Maine, because I'm not keen on changing the rules mid-stage.

[Purple State]

I resign and throw all my tokens, delegates and momentum behind Al.

Doesn't that sort of take the point out of having more tokens?

Yeah, just as an outside observer, that seems kind of unfair. If someone earned the resources they have, they should be free to spend them as they see fit. It punishes more successful candidate arbitrarily.

[Хahar 🤔]

Also, I find it hilarious that it was Al out of all people that survived.

[Lief 🗽]

Also, I find it hilarious that it was Al out of all people that survived.

Not really. Crazy fringe candidates always last until the end.

That said, I will now be endorsing Mr. Finch.

Well, yeah, but all the serious candidates have issued endorsements that flowed to him.

[Joe Republic]

Gaah, I can't please anybody, let alone everybody.  Okay, ignore my last post.  We'll continue as we've been doing for the last few stages.

And I'm sorry to see you go, Purple State, and thank you for playing.
