Change: The 2016 election game. (Sign Up & Rules thread)

[Grassroots]

If it's alright, once the DEM Polls are in, I would like to make a primary prediction. I'll update each prediction per Turn and look at the stats to see how well each Candidate may do.

They're in. Feel free to make any constructive commentary.

[Grassroots]

Could we also get polling for South Carolina, Nevada, and Florida for both parties, so we know how each Candidate is doing in those vital early primary states?

Polling for SC and NV starts in October.

[Grassroots]

Can we do Candidate interviews?

Also, I reccomend writing up the next turn's National and State Polls as well as the debates today so you can post them all at once tomorrow.

Candidate interviews can only be done for candidates over 15% in the national polling, and its one per term.

[Grassroots]

Fu ck it, can I just take Hillary?

Ok. I will endure that all candidates have an equal chance (cause you know, Hillary Clinton), so I will not be placing you as a front runner. Is that clear?

What time will the next turn be posted?

Turn closes tomorrow night and turn officially starts 9:00AM EST Tuesday.

Just a note to all of the candidates, I think there is too much negative campaigning going on. Some candidates are getting in back and forth political quarrels with each other. While there is nothing I can do to stop candidates from running negative campaigns, I would like to politely encourage candidates to run more positive campaigns, so that there is a lighter feel to the game, and so that all candidates have a decent chance at winning.

This will probably hurt Bredesn the most...he loses a lot of Clintonite support and backing.

I can just regain it all by attacking Hillary on her emails and Benhazi.

You might be able to regain some...but not all of it.

Time will tell... (Oh the suspense!)

There are still plenty of other things to attack Hillary on (Killing Gadaffi even though he said he would step down). Not to mention, I can hit her where she hurts by just striking up my likability while I doubt Hillary could After everything she has done thus far.

Bredesen isn't likeable though 🤔

No, we are not going to debate a candidates character here. The polls determine if a candidate is likeable, other candidates do not. We need to all be respectful of one another. Is that too much to ask?

[Grassroots]

I don't understand why you're letting early state endorsements begin this early.

An endorsement is an endorsement.

when is the new turn coming up

Turn closes at 10:00PM EST tonight and the next turn starts 9:00AM EST tomorrow morning.

NOTTYLER is clearly violating the game rules, which say simply put, do not leave tons of replies and campaign updates. It is hurting the gameplay.

NOTTYLER is also violating another game rule. Constantly responding and attacking other candidates obsessively.

If NOTTYLER keeps this up, I will ask (more like force) him to drop out and drop out his candidate myself. Is that clear?

I also want to give a reminder to History505 of these rules, just because he is giving too many attacks and campaign updates.

Both of you, this is your last warning. Am I clear?

[Grassroots]

Turn Closed.

[Grassroots]

Next Turn about to start?

Very soon. In the next hour.

NEW TERM UP. DEBATES TO BE POSTED TONIGHT OR TOMORROW MORNING AS WELL AS STATE POLLS.

Can I be Bobby Jindal instead of Rob Portman

Sorry, I can't just let any more people switch candidates this late. For the first term it was ok, but now its too much. Just be Portman, its just a game anyway.

[Grassroots]

REMINDER TO ALL: Debate is on September 22nd in-game. You if you have or are planning on creating a campaign schedule, put that in and keep it in mind. IRL it will be posted tonight or tomorrow morning.
