so like is it possible/viable to play this as a behind-the-scenes antagonist figure who just raises money for the party, contributes to friendly campaigns, and runs attack ads without giving a single gently caress about your reputation or popular support or w/e? does never actually running for office or campaigning yourself make it impossible to effectively generate much revenue?

or is it dumb to even ask that kind of strategic question at this point

We literally have a working group built around this full of the best people in the org.

It was a lot more fun before AA got nerfed but its still doable just, yeah, work out of CA, NY or TX

it's certainly *easier* to do that if you get elected, because holding office means you generate more power, but most of the places where you could do that unopposed while running up reputation already have people in them

Yeah, totally. We've got entire dedicated departments for just running attack ads and such, and plenty of people who fundraise and do other shady backroom poo poo so the office holders don't have to get their hands dirty.

Word. I'm in as Sarie Antoinette, a libertine aristocrat who is definitely a California fundraiser and has absolutely no long designs on ever turning our colonial homeland of Louisiana blue

Being a fundraiser / attacker and just dedicating yourself to a state by funding the dems in it and wacking the Rs from the distant shores of california is a good strategy.

Infiltrate I could understand. How would they have taken them over though?

Oh oh is it the party treasury and fundraising mechanic? That seemed ripe for abuse.

The Republicans had about 100 members arbitrarily switch to the Democrats, then they all voted for one of them as chairman. The new chairman mailed the entire treasury home, then set party fees at 99% so nobody could raise any extra money. This all happened in the span of about 5 minutes.


Thanks Rumsod, gg.

The concept has been known and bandied about for a while - it's only possible if one side has a huge numbers advantage on the other, but don't worry rumsod's banner ad is totally going to save the game guys.

My only regret is that you can't redtext a mod, calling rumsod out as such is an integral part of the Goonpocalypse experience.

Waiting for someone to find the design decision that would destroy the game while rumsod disappeared on another benzo trip or wherever the hell he goes was the only reason I was logging in anymore, glad to see that the 4chan exploit game is still on point.
