I'm going to review the app once Mateo gets to get settled in a little, but I'm with Vaq on not trying to make every char of yours randomly gay

(And yet somehow opposes ssm for some reason?)

Some people are weird. Also neither Mateo nor Taylor are gay. I'll clarify with Mateo: it was just that weird experimentation thing lots of people do in college/university. He's not actually gay. But either way, I can remove that part if you want. Not a big part of his politics anyway. The only non-negotiable part really is his military experiences. That's the entire crux of his character.

Tone the woman part down to 6, tbh. I don't think a white woman would succeed as much as a Hispanic/Black man tbh.

Question about Cameron: Do you think it's possible I get him hooked up in a legislative position of some sort? Even if just a minor representative?

Yeah, white men are screwed. As TNS said, a half-Asian, half-black homeless woman would have a higher score than a two term white male governor.

Also, Taylor would've scored a 3 had he not resigned.

Race and gender is weighted too heavily relative to political office. Maybe not for the Dems, but definitely for the GOP

This one has a title, "Exile". After the contentious election of 2020, President Donald Johnson wasted no time dealing with his enemies. In the first few months of his Presidency he siezed control over numerous government agencies, making them loyal not to the United States of America, but rather himself. Positioning himself to seize absolute power he launched a campaign against political dissenters, arresting members of the Progressive Party, most notably it's leader and two-time presidential nominee Ellen Walton. Not everyone was successfully arrested, however. John Kingston, recently re-elected (albeit barely) Senator from Maine was vacationing in Florida when the news of the arrests reached him. Using his wealth he managed to rent a boat and did the unthinkable - sailed to Cuba. (Pictured above is Kingston after being recieved by the Cuban government). In the meantime, the wholesome Senator Ella Enchanted escaped to Canada with the help of two turncoat FBI agents whose sympathy she earned during the arrest attempt aimed at her. Senator Reginaldo Alphonsey initally managed to escape, but was eventually killed after a two-hour standoff at his estranged son's apartament in California. Every woman of low social status in the US is now forced to wear Costco employee uniforms, as penance for the crimes of the Walton family, notoriously lead by a woman. Every Walmart employee was sent to one of America's many new re-education camps, although their fate has not yet been uncovered.

What did Donald Johnson do with his friend Taylor Cox?

Quote of the Week: "A NEW STORY ON WRITING THREAD FOR HALLOWEEN!! MYSTERY MINE AVAILABLE NOW!"

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

Cameron has 14 points (since I'm counting the Midwestern Telegraph as a private sector success), and two more if you include military experience.

CNN had an 11 year old eloquent kid reporter on and they were asking him questions and they asked him “which candidate are you most impressed by?”

His unironic response?

Cameron's got name recognition in the Midwest, so it's not going to make it harder for him. Also, are there points for swing states, and is Michigan one?

I think that a gender/identity boost would work better if it has a condition like, such as already being in elected office.
