Yeah, your social/economic opinions can be totally at odds with official party affiliation, as far as I can tell. It might raise the ire of some of the party establishment types on the Discord channel.

in the future there will be primaries and deviating too far from the party base means they will be more difficult for you (this is already the case in the prez primary) but yeah atm theres nothing stopping you from being a far right dem. Which is why Dems control Alabama, for example.

It's currently one of our greatest technological limitations and hindrance to progress, imo

Real answer: I think it starts to drop above 50

Yeah, once you get above 50 your gain starts dropping.

We are the biggest tent party, all are welcome. I tried to go through my email list before work to send out some dosh, if I missed you, I'll get you this evening.

In the mean time, get on Discord when you can. LBJ can get you set up if I'm not around.

Thanks for the loot! I've already redistributed some of it towards my Oregonian neighbors. :bernin: I dunno how interested I'd be in this game without a proper chat system, Discord really makes it fun just bullshitting and sending cash or planning my idiot plans or whatever.

My incredibly unfunny gimmick of being a racist populist who advocates full communism (you know, for the right people) is stupid and I want to change it.

Are policy speeches worthwhile or should I just suck it up and go with it?

hey yall, im actually the developer of this game. if anyone has any questions about it please post.

my starting advice is to first thing join one of the two major parties, as they get significant benefits as they are dominant right now. third party and independent is difficult at start. be aware that the republicans are currently run by /pol/ types, so yeah.

also, make sure to get on the discord and talk with your party because they will give you money to get elected.

the game is pretty drat simplistic at the moment, I intend to expand it and make it more interesting.

I made multiple accounts without realizing it was against the rules. How do I go about getting one of them removed?

You can launch attack ads against not just opponents, but people in your own party, or people in different states.

If you're not actively running for a seat, building up influence and cash reserves is great, as is throwing some attacks towards likely targets. We've also got a forum now! Link in the Discord.

The plan seems to be:

- Hold all three offices in each state
- Gain 80%+ influence for optimal fundraising (I made that figure up, you can probably do well with 60%+)
- Don't run against your own party for an office
- If you're not running for office or have really high influence, run attack ads against the usurpers.

Also, very important :frogsiren: Create mans in red states, join the Dems, hop on Discord and ask for money:frogsiren:

P.S. You can save yourself a lot of pain if you hop on Discord and ask about the demographics in a certain state before you set your policies.
