Ramirez being the governor of cali? I dont know much about him in the game but thats too important a position to not be an active player

Correct. I think he was rather important in the primaries(?), but i jus think, same with you, that the Cali governor is too important to be left inactive.

Fitzgerald is major a former black governor of a soon to be swing southern state and the former VP who resigned on principle when winston went nuts? Yea amen thats a good candidate for president

Yeah, wait I think he has a brain tumor. Which is why he couldn't succeed Winston. Didn't resign, I believe.

Mathew Fitzgerald Jr. (age 25)? Could he run? Does Georgia have limitations on age for governors?

I really want to do a debate, but there's no election I'm in where I can participate in one minus NY GOP primary but like two of those people are inactive. I might jump in Washington's special election just to do one. Or even Virginia or Oklahoma.

I don't know. Maybe Lane, I haven't done anything with her in a while. Maybe a debate against a Prog/Dem senator on a specific issue. Or Rhodes, but vice versa.

That can work as well, especially if it's on a specific issue.

I think the character auction is a good idea, even if it’s under the assumption nthat the old player could take them back.

Who are the vital characters that require auctioning?

So hard he's willing to attack a Progressive as soon as she announced with claims of Ponzi schemery. Honestly, having just a Progressive and Flores running in Washington seems weird.

Yeah it is very strange that it’s essential two third parties in the race, (depending on how ‘third’ you count the Progs)

I don’t think we should auction Medina. Korea of the South makes appearances now and again.

We should, however, add Conti to the list.

I still regret resigning, even though I knew to myself OOC that it was a bad decision. I tried so hard to avoid a Marty Sue that I made the opposite.


Tsai would have to know that Walton would support her before she'd do something like that, sure it could be advantageous now but if she does something like that and then Walton comes out against her for some reason, from Tsai's eyes that could kill any future run she may want to take if she doesn't win this one.

Only reason I when for the anti-corporatism for the rally was because of this and because I really wanted to get a rally post out and just kind of fell back on to something I'm used to RP, next rally's probably going to be in support of local and small business so no worries about Taylorifing Tsai in the long run.

Technically Taylor supporting local business is one of his main platforms but ok

Just when I thought we’d get our first member. Sadly, we have no chance in hell of winning any of the special elections, since the Democrats and Progressives are hogging up the more moderate part of the ALP.
