Apparently there are already a couple of goons wrecking it here, is there a nearby Red state my efforts might be better served in? you can join me in the south i'm in NC and it's not bad, more of a challenge if you like that Aramoro posted:Whelp Dem party fee up to 50%, no more rallies for me for a while. 1) you shouldn't do rallies to begin with, get in discord and ask for money 2) fees are at 50% for the presidential election so we can take the white house, will be lower after that 3) plus we're having to play catch up in some of the more difficult/important races when the full cost of ads and stuff kicked in, we were seriously strapped for cash then

State treasurer perhaps? dev said he'd like to add state legislature positions, like maybe 2 or 3 that get elected and the legislature is largely NPC at the beginning, but you can strengthen it and stuff from there, but then gov would be able to veto, lege go for 2/3rds vote, etc.

Players will be able to spend money/power to campaign for the NPC legislature, so basically an indirect election. After an election, say the GOP wins 60% of state lege in a state, then the GOP majority leader of state lege will be able to propose and pass bills... unless theirs a dem gov who vetoes them! It'll add 2 or 3 positions per state, instead of hundreds, and add a level of state politics. if the game suddenly gets 10,000 players then ill add full state legislatures lol

Effectively being a 1 party state should give a huge boost to 3rd parties until one of them also reigns supreme.

You get the basic functionality, but leave the door open for expansion if there's demand.

I've been thinking about some of the forces that work against a party staying in complete control. They obviously aren't necessarily in balance, as some places are able to keep things locked down. One interesting thing to try and model is how accountability is a huge pain in the rear end, and give politicians the ability to dodge it. Suppose there's a riot at a state prison, that'd normally be a big problem for the Governor and the legislature, but if the prison is run by a private contractor, then at least part of the blame goes to the company, allowing the elected officials to dodge responsibility. I guess what I'm getting at here is that there are many ways to deal with a crisis. If a state run hospital has problems, you could fix it, or sell the hospital. Either one resolves the issue to some extent.

Are policy speeches the only way to shift positions? I chose kind of poorly starting out, not realizing how important they were. The -10 influence is rough to build up and then burn off to shift a single step.

Yeah, give speeches until you're below 10%. You're already in a cheap state, so just keep cycling between 0-10% until you have the positions you want (if you were in a more expensive state I'd recommend moving to WY to cycle positions). Including the 10 TV ads, it'll cost a total of about 30 power and $1-2k per speech. As always, ask the dem discord if you run out of money. The only other way to switch positions right now is to vote on bills in the senate, but you aren't likely to get there if your positions don't already match your state.

Cool, I will continue my slow shuffle to the middle then. Fortunately a couple of party donors set me up with a decent warchest to get started, so it is just waiting for the power ticks.
