The last time Sharp's state voted republican was 1872, when two republicans were the only candidate.

Dougals is not putting the republican party in a bad light, he's just making himself look foolish or duplicitous, not sure which is better. Either case is good for the argument both Frasers have been making about liberal democrats in office.

Could you please stop causing arguments and fights and let people have their fun, without you trying to make them feel like they did something wrong?


I'll just stick to doing the same thing in IC, on the assumption that points like that will matter.

Since Cyber is just clearly smarter than everyone (superior in every single way than us peasants), I don’t get how he controls two characters that actively hold the same goals and help each other. Since cyber has become comfortable accusing people of metagaming due to small blimps in foreign policy I am quite comfortable of talking about this now, I don’t believe having both a mayor Senator and Governor literally doing everything in lockstep for one party and one campaign is something that’s fair for the Republican field or general RP health.

wife/husband combo was accepted in Washington RP, Burke I believe, but that was done reluctantly and ended up being something that complimented character flavour than actual mechanics or real campaigns.

It may be alright with me if this RP was actually larger, but it’s not. What we have is a situation where one player can steamroll through their primary: double campaign posts, double legislative opportunities, double meeting opportunities, double media exposure.

Just if the RP becomes something that your supposed to ‘win’ at and be perfect at, constantly having to give yourself a stroke trying to write over every ordeal, then I don’t see the point in me staying.

Other than, again I’ll be posting less because reasons.

While I am not an OP, I do believe that whatever concerns/arguments between players exist need to be resolved through telegrams, and that any posts in the OOC should ideally avoid swearing (except if done in a fun/joking manner rather than insulting). After all, RPs are supposed to be a past time for people to have fun. :)

besides, there is virtually no advantage to having a the wife/husband combo vs. just having a senator running for president. What, you get to have governor while also having taking to take the "puppetry" attacks, it's a complete wash.

Latvi, I agree with you on the Senator/Gov thing but still, what do y'all not understand about keeping this squabbling out of the OOC, and TG one of the OP's. None of you listen to us, and it's getting very frustrating.

I see a massive flaw in the amendment to my amendment as well, but I’ll keep my arguments to IC, since too much vitriol has spilled into the OOC already. I really have to agree with Sao Nova Europa that it sucks to always come here and just find people arguing over everything.

I agree, and I can assure you, if it continues, major changes will be made. BUT today, prepare for a post that will affect the RP in a major way.

Well, they were being honest, just a bit deceptive, the scoop is people were keeping things from Davis, but the real story is Davis knew, but didn't want to start a big hoorah, hence his various tips to the idea.

Sharp sort of accused the government of being corrupt at least initially on his personal beef with Davis and the partisan hit job he was trying with the investigative committee of just himself rummaging through the first lady's garbage to find incriminating evidence.

I think Sharp's going to gloat a bit about being right for once, and maybe call for complete transparency with this administration while on the campaign trail again.

Broussard is actually a leader in his chapter of the Klan, so I assume he'd have more power over them than Sharp. Plus, that may damage Sharp in some ways, promoting intimidation like that and such. BUT, it won't lose him no love in Mississippi either way XDDDD

It's probably an empty threat, but it's just something for Sharp to jab at Broussard at. He's just mad at him for being "wishy washy" on certain issues. Sharp is a member of the Klan, but not the leader of anything, given his private misgivings about the "communist" elements in the KKK such as supporting women's suffrage.

Yeah bullying a sitting representative with open threats like that won't go over well, but Sharp's going to have to roll with the punches and live with whatever consequences or events this leads to for him. He opened his mouth and let the words fly out.

I was a bit confused because Sharps app says, "his campaign was also saddled with rumors that he was a member of the KKK, rumors he strenuously denied." it never said if he was actually in the Klan or not.

He wasn't in the Klan in 1942, but he's known neighbors and people who were regular members of the KKK and picked up most of the general lingo and language of the KKK from the time he started farming in 1904 to his enrollment in university in 1912. He even participated in some KKK sponsored community events and political drives for various Democratic candidates. He's not a member of the KKK but he talks like he was in the KKK (something that can be debunked if you ask his neighbors and ward). So he doesn't have a whole lot of overall influence with the KKK, just enough to round up his local neighbors and have them go on a hunting spree for Pro Broussard members or form a posse to do semi-legal stuff.

He just uses a metric shit ton of "muh state's rights" rhetoric and racist words that would make it seem like he's backed by the KKK, a fact that in his older years now doesn't have to have a problem in not correcting anyone about. If someone wants to make it seem like he was in the KKK he'd just shut up and smile.


Yeah Sharp was mostly defeated in '42 because he first was all for WWII, but then changed his tune about halfway through his re-election bid to be a fierce opponent of it. Also I think I'll have the members that shot his father be part of the local KKK

Don't change your app, and don't say stuff IC that isn't a part of your app, that is major like the 'Local KKK member killed my pa' that is off-limits as it wasn't already in your app because stuff like that would have major effects on your char, and his opinions on the group.

Gotcha, I'll leave my application in stone. I was just looking at it again and could have sworn I said something else, but that's probably my faulty brain or something.
Alright, I mean Sharp has a grudge agaisnt poor whites because he still doesn't know who killed his father, and he still assumes it's a band of poor white folk. So they could have been someone else but my character's still in the dark on the issue and resents the poor whites because of that.
