Actions that Players can take in their current location:

Fundraising [Requires 1 energy]

2 dice roll determines the amount you raise. You can't have fundraising in the same state more than once per turn!

2,3,4 = 400,000
5 = 500,000
6 = 600,000
7 = 700,000
8 = 800,000
9 = 900,000
10 = 1,000,000
11 = 1,100,000
12 = 1,200,000
13 = 1,300,000
14 = 1,400,000



Give Speech [Requires 1 energy]

You will give speech about 3 topics, and express your stance on them.

For speech, you will gain support points (SP) in state according to the following equation:


SP=(30 dice roll)/10*(sum % of your party+1/2*independents+1/20*opposing party that prioritize the topics)*(sum % of your party+1/2*independents+1/20*opposing party that support your stance on the topics)



Give Interview [Requires 1 energy]

You will be interviewed about 4 random questions(topics), with given reply options.

For each separate topic, you will gain support points (SP) in state according to the following equation:


SP=(30 dice roll)/10*(sum % of your party+1/2*independents+1/20*opposing party that prioritize the questions)*(sum % of your party+1/2*independents+1/20*opposing party that support your answers to the questions)



Move to a different state [Requires 1 energy]

Tell the state you want to travel to.

---

Actions Players can take in any State:


Positive TV Ads[Requires 250,000$ and 50,000$ per turn to continue running them (they can be runned until primary/election)

Choose the state where you want to run ads.

Support points you will gain per turn based on these ads will be calculated by the following equation:

SP=5*(% of your party+1/2*independents+1/20*opposing party affiliated in state)


Positive Radio Ads cost half of that and are half as effective.^


Negative TV Ads [Requires 500,000$ to run, can't be extended]

Choose opponent and state where you want to run negative ads.

Amount of support points your opponent will lose is:


SP=-2 dice roll



Negative Radio Ads cost half of that and are half as effective.^


Try finding dirt[Requires 100,000$]

Try to find dirt on your opponent, then use it to blackmail him or expose him in public.

Amount of support points your opponent will lose is:


try = 10 * dice 10 sided roll
10-30 - People discovered your unethical behaviour! -2 SP in every state, and additional -3 in home state.
30-50 - The opponent you tried to find dirt on finds out. He can use it in his next speech in any state. If he does, +3 SP for him -5 SP for you in state that he used.
80-100 - You discover your opponent's scandalous behaviour. Roll for dirt strength follows:

Dirt strength = 1 dice roll
1 -4 SP in one random state
2- -4 SP in two random states
3- -4 SP in two chosen states
4- -4 SP in three random states
3- -2 SP in every state

You can use dirt whenever you want, or trade it for money or some other deal!

Debate

To participate in debate, you do not spend money nor energy, but you must be in a state where the debate is hosted. You can travel to that state the same turn when debate happens, or you can already be here.

Debate is consisted of 5 random topics, out of which all candidates will be asked if they support/oppose 2 random stances/opinions. Debate influences whole country, and SP gained in every states is calculated based on the following equation:

SP=(20 dice roll)/10*(% of your party+1/2*independents+1/20*opposing party that prioritize the topic)*(% of your party+1/2*independents+1/20*opposing party that support your first stance on the topic)*(% of your party+1/2*independents+1/20*opposing party that support your second stance on the topic)
(one roll for all states, different other factors depending on each individual state)


There will be 6 primary, 3 presidental election and 1 vice presidental election debate.
Both Democratic and Republican primary debates will be held in the same state, to make it easier for me to follow up with everything.

First, I want to move to a different state (Florida) [1 energy]

Then, I want to do fundraising in Florida [1 energy]

I will give a speech on the threat of radical Islamic terrorism, shark attacks, and mental health in Tampa. My stances are as follow: Radical Islamic terrorism is one of the biggest threats we face as a nation because it is an existential threat. Therefore, we should re-open Guantanamo bay and set up a new torture base in Key West. Furthermore, shark attacks have killed one too many Floridians, and I will propose a nationwide shark ban that will reward anyone who kills a shark with $500. Finally, we must take an unorthodox approach to the problems this nation faces about mental health. Upon entering office, I would propose a massive infrastructure bill to construct offshore rooms to house people with mental health issues so they do not affect the population. This will also serve to reduce homelessness since most homeless people have mental health issues. [1 energy]

One day after my speech, I will give an interview [provide me with 4 random questions with given reply options? 1 energy]

I will run a positive campaign ad in Florida [$250,000 or $50,000?]



Now, I will move to a different state (Georgia) [1 energy]

Then, I will do fundraising in Georgia [1 energy]

I will run a positive campaign ad in Georgia [$250,000 or $50,000?]



Now, I will move to a different state (North Carolina) [1 energy]

I will do fundraising in North Carolina [1 energy]

I will give a speech focusing primarily on abortion, but also incest and offshore oil drilling. My stances are as follow: abortion should be made ILLEGAL. If someone is caught getting an abortion, under my administration, she would be fined $15,000 and be forced to pay for the baby's funeral. She will also be forced to attend the baby's funeral and do 200 hours of community service. I hold a very strong stance on abortion because I view it as genocide. This must come to an end and laws must be made. If the Supreme Court does not agree with this would-be national law, then I will pack the Supreme Court with justices who understand my view. Moving onto another issue, I will make a federal executive agency to deal with the problem of incest that we face in America. A lot of our states get a bad reputation about incest and we must have a federal investigative agency charged with actively criminalizing this egregious practice. I will also encourage more offshore drilling to bring wealth and prosperity to ya'll North Carolinians! [1 energy]



Now, I will move to a different state (Ohio) [1 energy]

What time each turn ends?

Skrivet av ITSGG1122, 08.06.2021 at 07:17

What time each turn ends?

When you all do your turn.

Guys, please do your turn in one message/post.

I will do all rolls and polls and send you interview questions after you all post your turns.

Skrivet av Tribune Aquila, 07.06.2021 at 20:08

Sean, i really appreciate your RP aspect of the game, but please, when you do speech, write it as follows:
"I do speech, on next topics and stances:
Education , I support increasing teachers salaries
Health, I oppose Universal Health Care
Same-sex marriages, I support them."
This is just an example, you can do RP after that, but it is just impossible for me to see what stances and topics you do speech on and I can't calculcate anything...
