Hey, if you're joining this game, go Team Dem! We're cool, and Republicans aren't, the dirty channers.

Edit: Enjoy don't post links to private chats in public forums, Dem discord is avaliable in game. Stop by!

It's Her Time

Hillary Rodham Clinton is pleased to announce the founding of the soon-to-be ruling party of America, the Liberation Front for Leninist Youth Fighters (Eurocommunist)

The party programme includes:-

- Reduction in the size of the nuclear arsenal by launching it at Israel
- Tax benefits for interracial families, with the aim of phasing out whiteness by 2050
- Job creation for reactionaries in special government camps
- Soup kitchens for the poor, using meat reclaimed from capitalists
- Mandatory gender reassignment
- Reparations for exploited nations, domestic and foreign

Pictured: two comrades dispense aid to the needy

Splitters are awful and I hope you enjoy your total lack of power income. :colbert:

Any Dems who join, message me in game for a special welcome package. (I'm Dem Chair.) Also join Discord.

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

I'm in and hiding in Oregon.

So far I've just been building up state influence with a rally/tv/fundraise feedback loop but to be honest it sorta looks like the dems have it covered here. What else could/should I be doing?

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.

That was masterful, Sniper. The shitstream that came out of that big reveal....I've never seen a discord so upset.

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.

Joining a third party is dumb, because you get like +2 power instead of +9! Just join the Democratic Party - we're having elections, so plenty of room for Goons to seize leadership positions and lead boldly into the future.

And crushing the hopes and dreams of the Paradoxeers has brought me no small amount of joy.

Is that the guy from Montana? I joined his race when I first started the game and I was immediately told I should bow out to help him win. Are there really Dems running attack ads?

There might be, all sorts of random pubbies act in ways that in no way advance the cause.

Are you a Dem? Who told you to get out of the race?

Edit: Better question: Why no straight up GOON party?

Because third parties are incredibly gimped in terms of Power gain, so transforming the Democratic Party in our image is a far more feasible goal.

This is our Democratic nominee, so if you're not already in the party, join up so we can get a good man in the White House. (Higher national support for the party = higher polling numbers.)

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?

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.

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.

Oh, hello there new reputation stat. Guess people are going to have to be careful with their attack ad usage now.

As is, the only people who are really vulnerable to attack ads are the people who use them, which seems an admirable incentive not to use them at all. Hopefully it's changed, as it seems like it'll just make the game more static - reputation loss does so much: greater chance to backfire AAs, they're more effective against you, penalties to influence, etc.

Does California really make the most? The wealthy make up double what they do in New York than California, percentage-wise, which with half CA's population makes the wealthy donor population about equal. How much would a 100%-influence CA fundraiser make? At first glance it would seem CA is just a more expensive place to run ads because of the larger state population.

About 250k. I don't know about NY.
