NJ is dem heavy and we're about to take over all three seats. It's also pretty sweet for fundraising, although I don't know the haul people in NY/CA are getting. I'm around 65% influence and I get 30-35k each fundraiser?

The link is incorrect and you have less than an hour to actually run. If the other party doesn't run then you will win uncontested

Joined as mister Eduardo Balls. Would've gone elsewhere but was frustrated to find that republicans have way more control of my own state washington than they deserve so I had to fight that somehow.

Man, you get the weirdest emails when you step into a race. Randoms from my own party telling me to get out of the clown car. Repubs telling me not to interfere with their petty slapfight with each other.

I got this in OH getting loads of emails from people demanding that Freeborn John pull out of the race! I did because it was really tight and I have basically no support yet.

If you want to support my push for the Levellers and the free born rights of every citizen please feel free!

Vote for game-breaking meme bills like "ban the other party" and "give everyone a million dollars a turn" because there's nothing rumsod can do about it if they pass :downs: it's the law, we said so, you have to do it! :downs:

They kind of do now, since game dev removed the option of the dumb no effect bills. But the actual ingame laws passed don't actually do anything yet.

that happens to me occasionally (I'm HHH with the goatse trump avi) but then I realize that these people are literal children. The guy you're owning is 18 but many of them are 13-15. One guy in the Dems thinks Qadaffi was the best leader ever. He's 15.

Ok apparently the Dems are the party of crypto-goons so I'm on board, let's ruin the game for everyone not from SA. Which state could use a new goon?

E: Also, is it acceptable to bring friends from outside SA into the fold to cynically exploit as pawns ?

you can join me in the south if you want, we've got slots and cash to fund you

you could also consider joining the attack squad we have, where you get cash and turn it into attack ads against certain targets to try and demoralize them to the point of leaving the state/game :v:

Hell yeah, bring your friends. Ill shoot you an invite to the server when I get a chance if you haven't got it already.

Backing the call to join our death squad, codename Diamond Dogs. While the actual gameplay isnt that deep yet, funded and organized griefing is always in style.
