Post-Obama - A Different 2012 (Rules, Sign-up, and OOC thread)

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Isn't it secretary Clinton not senator

Isn't it secretary Clinton not senator

I believe so

Do either of you have your announcement speeches ready?

Coming in a few. just need to write a good update for GORT and write up a new turn for my election game

[wxtransit]

We'll need a few more Republicans and Democrats before we start, but I hope to begin Turn One by Friday. I'm currently debating whether to have 72-hour turns (better to move the game along) or one-week turns (better for my work week schedule so that I only have to update on the weekends). Do any of you have a preference?

72 hours. helps keep the game active.

[GoTfan]

DONALD TRUMP ANNOUNCEMENT SPEECH

“Good evening! I’m here today to make a huge announcement. I am seeking the republican nomination for president in 2012!
*crowd cheers*
Thank you! Thank you! For the past four years, President Obama has been an absolute failure. He has not gotten us out of Iraq! He has made the worst healthcare plan I’ve ever seen. He’s been weak on the national stage. I warned about him four years ago. It’s no wonder why he’s not running again!
*crowd cheers*
Thank you! The Republican Candidates are some horrible candidates right now. I’m running to bring Dignity back to America. Why would someone want to elect another democrat? We have to elect someone who will bring dignity back. Someone who will stand up to North Korea, to Russia, To China, all of our enemies. We need a leader who can make good deals. I can make good deals. We need a leader with a backbone. We need another conservative leading this country! We will Make America Strong Again! We will make America Wealthy again! We will Make America Brave Again! And we will Make America Great Again! God bless you all”

Wx, are you really letting NOTTYLER ruin your game as well?

[terp40hitch]

Wx, are you really letting NOTTYLER ruin your game as well?

Trump isn't going to win, so he probably he will only play a few rounds

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Wx, are you really letting NOTTYLER ruin your game as well?

Trump isn't going to win, so he probably he will only play a few rounds

Then whine and complain when we tell him he can't play as Marylin Manson or someone like that

[Jaguar4life]

When does this game start? I'll likely join it, I'm just not sure who I'll play with yet.

I already have the Libertarian character. If you are gonna be Ron Paul.

[NewYorkExpress]

I know I'm already signed up in the 2000 game, but since I'm not sure Terp is continuing with that one...

I'll play as either Kirsten Gillibrand or Andrew Cuomo...depending on which you prefer, though I have a personal preference to play as Gillibrand.

[OSR STANDS WITH PALESTINE]

Trump won’t win? You can’t rig the game against me

[terp40hitch]

Trump won’t win? You can’t rig the game against me

I am not the moderator so I am not rigging it but I think you will lose since 2012 was not an anti-establishment year like 2016 was

Then why would Adam Carolla have a chance?

Actually, now that I think about it, neither Gillibrand or Cuomo work... can I have Vice President Biden instead?

I accidentally thought it was 2016 for some reason.

Michele Bachmann's Campaign Launch

Waterloo, Iowa

"Thank you, Iowa, thank you! We won both the Senate and the house because of the Tea-Party movement and the only way we will win the white house this year. That is why I am running for president of the United States because I am the only true Tea-Party conservative ready to run for president.

As president I am going cut taxes, shrink the government and cut the job-killing regulations put in place by President Obama. In the end, I am going grow business with my pro-business agenda. This will not only help Iowa but it will help people across this country who lost their job during the economic recision and people who are graduating high school and college looking for their first job.

Let's win the Iowa primary and then Let's win the White House."

Yeah leave New York for me

That's not why. Gillibrand would only have been a Senator for about three years and would be running for a full term in 2012, and Cuomo would only have been Governor for a year...so neither work for me.

I was joking   I know Gillibrand wouldn't work, but Cuomo could try to run as a Centrist and on his last name.

That would be like Hillary Clinton running in 2000.

Wx, are you really letting NOTTYLER ruin your game as well?

As stated before, I have reserved the right to suspend his candidate. He has currently done nothing in this game to warrant me barring him from participating, but as stated before, I can and will if he isn't civil.

Granted as Biden, welcome!

When does this game start? I'll likely join it, I'm just not sure who I'll play with yet.

We'll start once we have a sustainable field in both primaries (about 2 more Reps and Dems, shouldn't be hard to find), so likely before Saturday (I'm aiming for tomorrow). If you need any suggestions, we need at least one more high-profile Republican to join (cough cough a Romney or Christie type).

There can be more than one Libertarian.

Is this directed to me?
