POWER is fully operational again and reset. Lots of states up for easy grabs as they don't have enough players (Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nevada, Colorado).

People who were previously in the Democratic Party are joining the New Deal Alliance.

Party Link: http://oppressive.games/power/party.php?party=51
Discord: https://discord.gg/g8rCbkq

Looks like the Republicans had a mass recruitment day, they outnumber us over 2:1. We're the underdog this time.

Pretty sure that nothing has been changed beyond the reset so whoever wins the first presidential race can just Rumbug the opposition into oblivion again.

A bunch of new features have been added, so it's changed in that respect

I wouldn't dare make the ludicrous claim that the game will now actually function as intended however

A war can be legal, for example when a legitimate government invites a foreign government to aid them against terrorism. Eg, the USSR in Afghanistan.

So apparently we convinced the Chan GOP that rumsod had further broken the game, luring them into a false sense of security Chaka used to steal the presidency for 40 days? God bless.

The Presidential election is a function of "campaign strength", which can be pumped up by people spending money and power, and party institutional strength, which is derived from national support. The 4chan nazi Republicans had been a supermajority and were still at around 50% institutional strength, the not-Democrats and the Libertarians were each around 25%.

The not-quite-Democratic candidate, Chaka Khan, told a triple agent that she'd tried switching parties to take advantage of the Republican's institutional strength but that it hadn't worked. She was down something like 60-40, so the not-quite-Democrats pumped a huge amount of money into her campaign, and the Republicans ignored it because there was basically no way they could lose, then Chaka switched to Republican at the last minute, won easily because her campaign strength was three times that of the real Republican, then switched back to Democrat.

The Republican candidate/chair quit the game in a rage.

Control Volume, the one who posted itt, wrote a history of bloc for bloc 1 in the old griefing thread. I tried searching for about ten seconds but gave up. It also looks like I removed it from my bookmarks or something too.

Control Volume
Dec 31, 2008

Heres an abridged version:

Bloc started stupid, goons made a group that destroyed some guy's nation and got off scot free because it was the result of a publicly held auction, there was a dumbass who turned out to be a communist pedophile who was outed by a RL friend, then 4chan came in and got owned repeatedly until they exploited, then rumsod fixed the exploits, then 4chan exploited some more because rumsod didn't actually fix anything, he didn't change the code at all.

It ended when sniper4625 gave some people admin powers, and those people gave a bunch of other people admin powers, then everyone spammed hitler and swastikas until the german host shuttered the entire site. It took rumsod a couple months to notice this.

this is actually currently happening right now. he only responds to email from lykos -- who was a nobody in bloc 1 but is now a somebody, particularly because rumsod gave him "game mod" where he can delete people.
