Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 I thought Tyler removed the links after being told to. As for Kerry/Nixon.. is it Nixon 60, Nixon 68 or Nixon 72? from playing "President Elect" ( http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=839 ), I'll say that Nixon 72 is pretty much unbeatable. The game sounds interesting though. I have a copy of the Doonesbury game, but I don't think the CD works anymore. In fact, I have no clue where the CD is right now, I think it's in a box somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, I have no clue where the CD is right now, I think it's in a box somewhere This is closer to a boardgame that Doonesbury, except that it has a lot less bugs and (supposedly) biases than Doonesbury. The only "biases" per se that I see with Political Machine are that someone got the bright idea of putting Barbara Bush and Laura Bush in as candidates instead of someone like John McCain.

teke184 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2004 Getting back to strategy tips... As a Democrat, the best way to beat Nixon et all is to build up a lot of endorsements then to do the following: 1. Find a Hollywood director (50% off of all ads in a selected state) 2. Hire at least one Webmaster in that state (75% off maintenance of ads in a selected state) 3. Run ads on every subject of importance until you've hijacked that issue as your own. (Example- Run 15 ads on War On Terror. That makes it an issue important to a high percentage of voters AND will also skew voter opinion on that issue so that you are considered to be a better choice than your opponent) If you want to exploit a bug in the 1.0 version of the program, hire 4-5 webmasters in a single state and create a LOT of ads there. Because of the bug in the program, taking that 75% off for maintenance multiple times ends up CREATING money for you for each ad. I kicked Nixon's ass roughly 470-60 using this strategy as I made about 4-5 issues into ones that 10% or more of voters cared for and I was seen as the better choice on all of these issues. On some like Universal Health Care and The Environment, it was 100% support for me an 0% for Nixon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Styles 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2004 But why? It's only sharing. I demand to at least be recognized as a Lieutenant. Are you still a Registered Democrat? If so, they you have hit the glass ceiling... I thought I clarified this! I was NEVER a registered Democrat. NEVER. NEVER. NEVER. I'm a registered independent. From the thread where I explained it: http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?...political+party Anyway, with election talk heating up, I started thinking "am I really registered"? Some of you might be thinking, wait a minute, I thought you registered, as a Dem in fact? In this very thread I said I filled out a form when I got my drivers license a couple year back to pre-register (and for it to go in effect when I was 18), and registered Democrat since I hadn't really aquired much of a political affiliation yet and my family are Dems. And then I just forgot about it, assumed when I was 18 it'd be official (I'm 19 now). Well.... I first became suspicious during the primary season when my parents were recieving all this junk in the mail from the party, yet I wasn't. They also recieved forms for voting locations...I didn't. I pretty much knew something was up there, but I decided I wasn't going to vote in the primary anyway once Jomentum ran out and Crazy Howie wasn't there to give the ole' sabotage vote. So I chalked it up to some error and forgot about it. Well finally today I got around to calling the local election board, and sure enough....SWERVE~! they have no record of me at all. I never was a Democrat this whole time! JR: Son of a bitch. King: I can't believe it JR! So....I'm going to print out the form soon and hopefully get officially registered already. I'm thinking I'll probably just go Independent since the Dems disgust me and I don't know if Im quite ready to throw my hat in with the REAL evil empire lol2004~! quite yet. (But hey KKK, I guess this means any doubts you once had about my rank in the KKKonservative Brigade can be quelled ) So, yeah I'll be accepting my promotion now.

I know that FDR, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington are all in the game. That still leaves four candidates unaccounted for. Who else is in there? Harry Truman? Woodrow Wilson? Andrew Jackson?
