Anyone interested in a President Forever FOFC Game?
I recently bought the game President Forever, and in a recent email, the creator indicated how to make your own scenario. I figure this would be perfect for a FOFC board game, similar to the Odd/Even Games and the Snowball Fight we had over the holidays.
So, I have come up with four FOFC "Parties". The SkyDogpublicans (the party that currently controls the White House of FOFC) The Wigocrats (They currently have a slight majority in the Congress) the Colossal Squidependents (minor party) The Monster Raving Looney Party (Otherwise known as: "2/3rds of a Trout in everybody's Rectum!") (minor party) I figure while I create the scenario, we can have our Presidential Primaries. Please state which party you wish to run for President for, your home state (if you live outside the US, pick one  ), and your qualifications.After we get everybody in the Primaries, the board will vote for each party's nominee, and then we get to Campaign season (which will play out on the board) Note: The top votegetter in each party will be that party's presidential nominee. The next two-three votegetters will be possible Vice-Presidential candidates, but the presidential candidate gets to choose his running mate

I would be interested in running for the Wigocrats.
Additionally I would love to do a PBEM of the game with someone since the Computer AI only offers so much challenge. Last edited by Barkeep49 : 03-01-2004 at 07:07 PM. |

Sterling "Tex" Silvers
He's from the great state of Texas. To stay elected in a mostly SkyDogpublican state, he's had to play mostly to the middle in his three terms as Wigocrat representative. His two primary issues are a Balanced Budget amendment and increased educational spending. He's not likely to win but wants to use this as a springboard for future campaigns. He does make a somewhat attractive Vice Presidential canidate, however, as he is charismatic, young, and from a traditional SkyDogpublican stronghold.

Quick question for the "Dungeon Master" -- did you want the 20 point spreads from all the candidates in the primaries, or just for the eventual party nominees? (I had first believed it was the latter, but after seeing a few more posts, I'm not so sure) |

That's a good idea, it would make more sense for the party to decide the final nominee's distribution. The platform on issues could decide the party rep but after someone is selected, it would make a lot of sense to have the party brainstorm the skill allocation. |

Good enough for me then. I just didn't want to not have done mine & them be a requirement (I've got enough trouble sorting out the campaign finances paperwork).
(FWIW, I've also bought & played P4E, so I've got at least a slight advantage over those who haven't because there's a few definite pros & cons to certain skills IMO. Although my candidate isn't really drawn to those specs at this point) |

I'd like to throw my hat into the ring as a "WigoCrat." My platform to follow shortly. But on a quick note, is each party supposed to have some sort of left/center/right agenda? And being from VA, I can carry the south
9edit)I mention the Wigocrats on this simply cause of my alignment with Wig, not cause of the party platform Last edited by stevew : 03-01-2004 at 11:29 PM. |

Well, the parties have their mavericks, so even though the SkyDogPublicans and Wigocrats currently look like our Repubs and Dems, you can be either.. just realize when it comes voting time, you're going to be a nail that sticks out, and maybe one that gets hammered down...

I'm clearly the best choice for the SkyDogpublicans. Having told Dave Dial where to stick it, that just proves that I'm the candidate best able to withstand special interests.

When will nominations close? I don't want to start campaigning with-out knowing who all my competition is...
I also agreee, FWIW, with Jon that certain skills are more useful than others. |

I think tommorrow night will give us a couple more and that's it, so I'll say tommorrow night, set up a debate topic for each party, and then run the Primary Polls after the debate.
