I believe President Forever requires 4 parties.  United Left should be the 4th party.  Siege40, Al, LewisTrondheim, and Texasgurl could be the members (TG was UL at one time).

ILV and Hughento are probably closer to C than D (but maybe they should respond to that).

For my picture, use the picture of Fritz the Cat in my sig.

Midgard Chronicle should be one of the interviewers.

Is a serious picture necessary? In that case I can dig one up I guess... Wink

This is a brilliant idea Super. Smiley

I'd like to be included of course. I don't think we should make our own profiles, if it's gonna be for real, but perhaps our VP-bonus. For me it'd be either integrity or experience I think.

Well, by "picture" I mean one of the file photos from the game.  Almost any presidential politician of the past (primary or general) has a picture in there.

I would prefere if you give me a profile, once I come up with the issues to be included, that way I won't screw up anyones beliefs.

Sorry, I dont know how to and photos that are not already on.  I have no clue how to crop them to get them to fit.  Like I told Gus, you can pick a photo from the acctual game.

I would like to add that French candidates from 2002 and Australian candidates from this year are also included.

And I will use the Chronicle

I know nothing about the game at all, but I would like to contribute to the building of my candidate. Just give me a list of things that I need to tell you about myself.

The National Atlasian should also be one of the interviewers and or one of the newspapers since it is one of the most widely read publications in Atlasia.

Okay, I think I have a method figured out.

The senerio is going to go state to state by acctual EV.

To determine each state, I will use the political affiliation of the people registered in that state with a 10% "undecided" factor.

In states where we have only one registered voter, I will use That one voter as 33% of the vote and then factor in what I will call the "region average" or the total voter registration for a 10 state region to determine the remaining 66%.

If a state has no registered voters, then I will use only the regional average to determine the margins and voting patterns.

How does that sound?

OK, then it doesn't really matter much to me, I don't even have the full game. Tongue

On profiles, I was talking more about the points in different fields than anything else, since I'd expect some candidates to be stronger than others in reality.

We would decide our own platform though, I realize that. Wink Will you create the various positions on the issues or what?

If you use four parties, and don't use preferential voting (I don't think you can) than you shouldn't have the Democrats and the United Left, because they would split too much. My suggestion is have the Republicans, the Republican UACers as the UAC, the Democrat UACers + moderate leftist independents like Hugh and ILV as the AFIP, and have the Democrats.

If you need a TV station for whatever reason, the Mid-Atlantic News Network got very high ratings last election.

I made a pPresident Forever Scenario for the June Election a while back (never submitted it for obvious reasons) and here were the new issues I added:

War on Trolls

Harrygate

The Supreme Court

China

Regional vs. Federal Government

My interviews were:

Josh's Traveling Salvation Show

News Channel Atlasia

Ilikeverin News

Wildcard News Network

Late Night with Liberty

West Branch Tonight

Not a very good scenario (and a bit biased toward Reaganfan, for obvoius reasons).

This is just a help for you Supersoulty.

Super if you really want to use me as a candidate than simply e-mail me what you want.

For a picture use Herbert Hoover (1928 Picture preferably)

Yes, thank you.  And I will get the questionaire for my choice candidates out as soon as I figure out what issues I want.

We would decide our own platform though, I realize that. Wink Will you create the various positions on the issues or what?

I think that I will issue all "personality" points, as I think that I can do it more fairly and realistically than some people can do it for themselves.  I determined that you are correct, in part, but I will assure that all candidates have between 23-27 total points.  I think, for instance that I will give Migrendel a 5 Leadership, as he is a maverick, but this will be off-set by the extremeness of his veiws.  Stuff like that.

And yes, I will create the possible possitions on the issues.  For issues that carry over from the acctual game, I will change the stances to make them more compatable to our forum.

If you need someone to whip up some pictures and icons for parties or candidates, I can do it pretty easily.

Oh yeah, this is easy. For example, the UAC logo

And since I assume there's already a Hoover one, something for Phil
