Washington 2016 Political RP [CLOSED] OOC Pt. IV

[Vaquas]

I was thinking that we'd have a mock election on election day RP-wise.

We each vote for the candidate we'd vote for IRL.

I expect a Reed blowout, but who knows.

[Uttland]

We were scheduled for one more Libertarian debate anyway, now we can actually have one, that's nice.

Wait till I announce my candidacy, porfavor.

Ah, fine

Donald Johnson blowout.


No, but seriously, that's a good idea, it'd be interesting

[Uttland]

Wait till I announce my candidacy, porfavor.

Ah, fine

Wait, will Flores be announcing her candidacy?

[Tallahassee News Station]

Ah, fine

Wait, will Flores be announcing her candidacy?

Didn't you just tell me to wait?

[Uttland]

Wait, will Flores be announcing her candidacy?

Didn't you just tell me to wait?

I'm only entering on the condition if Flores enters, otherwise, I'm going to be Breck's VP. But anyways, is Flores entering now, or entering for the debate?

Flores is making a candidacy, yeah.

[Tallahassee News Station]

I just can't stop beating myself up over that Senate race though. I'm really furious at myself still.

[Uttland]

Flores is making a candidacy, yeah.

Now or during the debate?

[Uttland]

I just can't stop beating myself up over that Senate race though. I'm really furious at myself still.

Heh?

[Tallahassee News Station]

Flores is making a candidacy, yeah.

Now or during the debate?

Now

[Tallahassee News Station]

I just can't stop beating myself up over that Senate race though. I'm really furious at myself still.

Heh?

I made Flores lose, against what the evidence suggested to avoid any kind of conflict of interest at all, but the person who won it isn't even online, its a total waste, and feels like it tainted the character. I should have just run them by Pro or gone forward with it instead of setting up some new rule for myself that didn't exist, and screwing everything up. It's just making me bitter at myself, way more than it logically should, but I feel I screwed over the character, and for a nonexistent reason

[Tallahassee News Station]

Vicky probably should announce before the debate, so they can invite her and all

[Uttland]

Heh?

It's just making me bitter at myself, way more than it logically should, but I feel I screwed over the character, and for a nonexistent reason

I mean, Flores, is entering the presidential race, so, it evens out...

Vicky probably should announce before the debate, so they can invite her and all

I'm making a blob post, wait...

I'm making a blob post, wait...

It doesn't. I never wanted this path for her. The other one was working out much better, worked with the whole character arc-argh, I just need to stop, it's a stupid overreaction, but it just gets to me, its illogical how much it does

There really is no reason for it to get to you, it's apparent that she wouldn't have won anyways, not trying to be rude.

Of course she would have lost in the General, but that wasn't the point, that was expected and part of the whole thing

[Prolieum]

As it stands, California and Oregon will not be decisive. No candidate will be able to get enough delegates in order to win outright without courting the superdelegates. What it does, rather, is gives an opportunity to push oneself high enough that there is the possibility of drawing enough superdelegates to their cause that they may pull off a first-ballot victory, or creating enough of a buffer that they may hold on with the additional trickles of support through the subsequent ballot process.

Flores's ability to appeal to said delegates after the conclusion of those primaries is going to be the single critical factor.

[The Portland Territory]

How so? From what you've seen in the interview, she pretty much has the same views as Breck.

I mean, she may be hiding her real views for that candidacy...

After winning the election with Breck, Vicky be like:

[The Portland Territory]

As in, her candidacy will be seen as a joke, and she won't be taken seriously. If Flores enters the race, then expect DeLucca to jump in there, earnings off.

They're Libertarians. They're never taken seriously. Especially not after Breck decided to own SL's stuff.

The bigger problem in perception isn't looking not serious, it is looking too extreme, that's the real weakness. It's also their only shot at getting some coverage and publicity

Who's SL?

[The Portland Territory]

Wait a second, I was told that there are no more presidential candidates allowed.

[Uttland]

I mean, she may be hiding her real views for that candidacy...

After winning the election with Breck, Vicky be like:

Possibly!

[Uttland]

Wait a second, I was told that there are no more presidential candidates allowed.

Independents.

This is a primary
