I'm pretty sure most of us know that.

It just came down to the republicans MAKING it turn into partisan bullshit and at least we came out ahead and made them pay.

PackerFanatic · 07-23-2008, 10:05 PM

I think we already have two bills written that can be tweaked during the day for you, Chubby. I thought they were both pretty solid (duke and soothsayer if I am not mistaken)

KWhit · 07-23-2008, 10:06 PM

And by the way, I got confirmation from CR that the Seer Communications bill we submitted today (the one I came up with, BTW) was okay by the supreme court.

So there.

mccollins · 07-23-2008, 10:07 PM

If people need things to talk about - we could begin thinking about our bills so we don't present them late in the day again.

I believe we'll be electing / re-affirming the Speaker again tomorrow. (Does the President get to vote on that?)

PackerFanatic · 07-23-2008, 10:07 PM

Yup, Prez still votes on everything.

I almost called the GOP on that crap. That was easily constitutional and they were just miffed about getting their nose smacked yesterday for their bill.

PackerFanatic · 07-23-2008, 10:08 PM

Our second will be presented a little late again, mcc, because of Chubby being away during the day. I think if we have it settled by 4pm which one we want, we can get it out right away this time.

KWhit · 07-23-2008, 10:09 PM

I'll probably lose my election today since I had to make that late vote switch. So maybe you won't have to deal with me tomorrow anyway.

PackerFanatic · 07-23-2008, 10:10 PM

You did co-sponsor a bill that will hopefully help a little.

mccollins · 07-23-2008, 10:11 PM

My bad - I mentioned Mrs. S earlier, but the final vote count has Passacaglia as the lone voter still on KWhit. He'll get a lot of crap for that.

PackerFanatic · 07-23-2008, 10:15 PM

I thought she was left as well, I think a couple of the prior counts were a little messy.

Lathum · 07-23-2008, 10:45 PM

hey guys, we got a great result.

I am more then happy to answer any questions about todays play.

I basicly told Pass I think KWhit is a wolf because of the way he voted and convinced him to switch his vote thus saving henry.

PackerFanatic · 07-23-2008, 10:46 PM

Security bill ridered again. I would almost bet that the repub wolves are pushing that.

Ah, so YOU are the reason Henry lives.

OK, right.

Actually, I changed my vote before even reading this thread, but don't let facts get in the way of patting yourself on the back.

KWhit · 07-23-2008, 10:53 PM

And no, we didn't get a great result. We lynched a non-wolf. Not a great result at all.

EagleFan · 07-23-2008, 11:06 PM

What did we do with our support and slurry today?

you have got to be kidding me?

You and Chesapeak are the reason we were in that mess to begin with, I got Pass to switch giving us the win.

If you had voted with the rest of the party to begin with we wouldn't have been in that mess.

Did you not see it coming that they were all going to vote together, I got them to break that alliance.

Henry is alive because of me.

mccollins · 07-23-2008, 11:42 PM

KWhit wins his re-election!
Somehow, the prez race was incredibly tight even in his district.

mccollins · 07-23-2008, 11:45 PM

Holy crap - Lathum lost his election and he was "ahead in the polls" this morning.

chesapeake · 07-23-2008, 11:49 PM

Could the Seer Communications Act, together with a GOP slurry attack, had that much effect?

Lathum · 07-23-2008, 11:50 PM

the write up was clear someone sabatouged me.

mccollins · 07-23-2008, 11:54 PM

Path got a "healthy boost" - presumably from co-sponsoring the bill unless we also sent a support power his way.

Lathum · 07-24-2008, 12:22 AM

this game makes zero sense to me, how did we lose so many elections?

I don't know for sure. I bought the election because I was worried......tried to make it conditional but it's all or nothing. And I could only do it the once. So all in all if I had it to do over again I'd have waited and bought the next election.

Just in case any of you have a similar ability.

Lathum · 07-24-2008, 12:59 AM

as I thought, clap sabatouged me

Chubby · 07-24-2008, 05:55 AM

oh WTF somebody must have sabotaged me. I will win reelection next election.

I think as a Party we need to elect another democrat to Speaker to maintain some power

Chubby · 07-24-2008, 06:03 AM

Cronin sabotaged me, got confirmation from CR

Chubby · 07-24-2008, 06:05 AM

and with that I'm off to work

Chubby · 07-24-2008, 06:08 AM

oops one more thing

If you are looking for a partisan wolf vote I'd say pass (highest on my wolf radar) or jehinz (will benefit the party the most)

Chief Rum · 07-24-2008, 08:28 AM

The Most Popular Politicians Among Party Members

1. PackerFanatic
2. mccollins
3. KWhit
4. Chubby
5. chesapeake
6. Lathum
7. henry296
8. EagleFan
9. path12

There is evidence that both PackerFanatic was targeted in the media.

Polling is still pretty much where it was at from the Congressional elections.

Don't forget: you can pick a new Leader today if you want, or leave the current one in power. And your Liaison is currently out of Congress, so you must select a new one.

Path probably used a special power he had.

chesapeake · 07-24-2008, 09:22 AM

nm...just read his admission.

chesapeake · 07-24-2008, 09:27 AM

who did we support/slurry yesterday?

I still haven't seen the answer to this and I'm curious. It sounds like the GOP did a ton of damage with their slurry/support.

Under the game mechanics as I am piecing them together, each representative has one special ability. Path's allowed him to win his reelection somehow. And it would appear that Clap and StC used their powers to knock Lathum and Chubby out of their seats.

It is still unclear what effect supports/slurries have.

PackerFanatic · 07-24-2008, 09:49 AM

Well what a shitty night for us

I think we need to do whatever we can to get a Dem speaker in there - I would be more than willing to step up for that after losing the prez.

chesapeake · 07-24-2008, 09:50 AM

Our primary focus as a party should be getting Lathum, Henry and Chubby back into their seats. We are in the minority anyway, so it should be a little easier. We won't be responsible for vetoes or for any partisan lynchings anytime soon.

A good start would be offering a bill, sponsored by our two weakest members (politically) -- Path and EF. If we can shore them up some, we can toss supports to our three unelected members.

chesapeake · 07-24-2008, 09:52 AM

I don't see how we win a Speaker vote. We are in the minority. But we should still offer a candidate and all vote for him. Our constituents would expect that.

mccollins · 07-24-2008, 09:57 AM

As of right now, I think I'm voting for Pass or Heinz. They both control an extra district and I don't get their argument that it would be good for us to lose all 3 of our ousted Dems.

Can anyone help me understand the villager motivation to DESIRE FOUR villagers to be removed from the game by the villagers themselves??

PackerFanatic · 07-24-2008, 09:57 AM

We also need to choose a new liaison.

PackerFanatic · 07-24-2008, 09:57 AM

I agree, mcc. And Pass has rubbed me the wrong way since day 1.

I don't think there is any way we can - they'll vote 10-8 for whoever they nominate from their own party.

PackerFanatic · 07-24-2008, 10:01 AM

Well we still need to get a candidate out there and vote for him, like ches said.

KWhit · 07-24-2008, 10:03 AM

Yeah, you never know. A Repub who controls 2 districts may miss the vote.

mccollins · 07-24-2008, 10:10 AM

Well, our two most centrist Dems are out of office so I'd nominate the next most centrist (who has also expressed interest) in that of PackerFanatic.

mccollins · 07-24-2008, 10:22 AM

I'll also throw out that I support KWhit to stay the leader.

KWhit · 07-24-2008, 10:56 AM

Thanks, mcc.

KWhit · 07-24-2008, 10:57 AM

We need to choose a liason. I think chesapeake would make a good choice since he's proven to them to be a pretty bi-partisan thinking congressman.

mccollins · 07-24-2008, 11:07 AM

I agree - chesapeake would make a fine choice.

(Where are the Dems this morning? Slow going, eh?)
