Portman First Month Of Campaigning

Portman spent much of March finishing senate business but he started to visit New Hampshire, Iowa, and Nevada. He also met with some high profile endorsements to try a woo over their support.

The game hasn't started yet. The game starts on Friday, and I will create a new thread for the gameplay.

[Grassroots]

Fixed, I copy paste the format and enter the new candidate when someone joins, but I forgot to change the name.

[Grassroots]

Does the game start 9 am or pm

9 AM Friday EST

[Grassroots]

One more day for players to join before we start the game! If you want to participate in the game, sign up now by posting the name of the candidate you want to be! Join before it's too late!

When we have Endorsements and their people, like a Senator or rep, can we post them giving an endorsement speech?

Sure, but let me post your endorsements next turn so that people know that you are campaigning with someone you are actually endorsed by.

Can I be Rep. G.K. Butterfield from North Carolina?

Welcome!

Can I change from Nikki Haley to Sen. Joe Manchin?

Sure! Just be Haley this turn and I will post some news about Haley dropping out next turn due to budget concerns. Post Manchin's announcement speech now and his polling will be shown next turn.

Also, is the state Polls going to be posted very soon?

I'm working on the post currently. Will be up in like, 20 mins.
