Doctor Gaius Baltar is really making waves with his grassroots approach in South Carolina. You all should definitely give him money if you want to survive the Cylon death camps turn South Carolina blue!

Yeah, it's been the primary communication method thus far, and the goon presence is pretty new. (But growing!)

Something to fix in the future versions of the game is to prevent senators from the same state from crossing over to challenge each other.

The sitting Senators are running against each other somehow.

For anyone not up to speed, our friends at the paradox forums (Thread here, pro read towards the end.) were trying to play it cute by infiltrating both parties and working their way up. We caught on, but alas, a traitor gave the game away, hence the rage. Looks like they may be defecting to the Republicans? I did get this at 5AM



In short please join the Dems and solidify our blue reign.

We just fended off an attempted takeover by the Third Way Paradoxians who didn't care whether the winner was a Dem or a Republican as long as they were a Paradoxian.

Phew, can you imagine if we had let the third wayers with their lack of party loyalty take over the party?

It's more a "state" than a "party". Your views can be whatever and you can still succeed in your party, but states that are Right on social and Left on Economics are... I dunno.

Get on Discord and message LBJ/Rumsod aka consumed by normies. He's the dev for this wonky game.

Also, when are we going to break off and create our party/join LF4LYFE? The channers are really starting to come out of the woodwork now.

New York and California are absolutely the places to be if all you want is to make mad stacks of cash. Fundraising gives like 10x the cash there as it does in most other states.

That said I'm having a grad ol' time playing an extreme Leftist Democrat, but also a party faithful one who is getting in folk's good books and handing out favours and getting quite a bit of boosting in return from more moderate Dems.

We should really get a "progressive" discord up though for coordination amongst the various true Left, Democrat or not.

Also, you should all be dogs. Dogs are the future.

I misread that as Anal Clooney (do not steal)

If you pick bad positions (ie, your real ones as opposed to the ones that will get you support in your state) you can change them with the speech option under Actions to gradually align.
