A More Perfect Union

@caden3123 The Dev is still working on the game. Today he's creating the mechanism for appointing a military commander. You can keep up with manual forum-based playtests here, if you haven't joined yet: politicslounge.com

@AMPU1772 hi any update on this game

The latest development update for =A More Perfect Union= now includes Continental Congress Voting. If you'd like observe the full game (pre-development, forum-based version). Please join this forum. I'll have to approve you to let you in b/c of bots: politicslounge.com

@SidKhurana3607 Have you ever done Sorbian (slavic group located in Eastern Germany) ancestry? I ask because I have that ancestry.

Guess the ancestry? Probably the hardest one so far.

@nomoredawg I went to a coffee shop once that would take my card to keep a tab. That's how they did it, and I'd routinely leave my card at the coffee shop because I was so used to pay per coffee drink. I don't mind tabs if they return the card while the tab is open.

Why would you pay after every individual drink???????

@StatisticUrban I'm pretty much in agreement with you. I've lived in Austin, NYC, and Philadelphia on this list. I think New Orleans is also underrated. I'd add Dallas (birth city) and Houston to overrated. DC is about the middle.

Overrated cities: - Denver - Nashville - Austin - Portland, OR Underrated cities: - NYC - Philadelphia - Raleigh-Durham - Boston - San Francisco - Pittsburgh - Cincinnati

@DrewSav Good work!

Went to the doctor yesterday. Nothing bad this time. I've almost reversed my pre-diabetes! Cutting out sugar is one of the best things I've ever done. I can not believe how much sugar I used to consume.

@DrewSav and town laughers

We should bring back town criers

@Walz4Pres Good ticket but I'd Warnock abandoning that Sen seat in GA might be bad for Democrats. Warnock at the top of the ticket might be worth the risk however.

Thoughts on this ticket?

@NateSilver538 Do you have Newsom, Whitmer, or Shapiro in mind as one of these kinds of Democrats?

As much as I've been critical of Democrats after 2024, a strategy of just being normal and nominating candidates with a proven electoral track record might work perfectly fine in 2028 given what's probably going to be a chaotic four years in the White House.

@DrewSav 6

How many Presidents do we think clogged the toilet at the White House?

GO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you can read about my election prediction here: historymonocle.com/2024/11/05/202…

@tdraicer I hope you recover quickly! Sorry that happened. I also voted Harris, and I was at her rally in Philadelphia last night.

Stood up too quickly last night, low blood pressure sent me crashing to the floor and I managed to badly sprain my ankle on the way down. And this is why voting early (I did) is a good thing.

@NateSilver538 I'm from Dallas and lived for 11 years in the Austin area (been in NYC and Philly since then). I've always considered the highway from Dallas to Brownsville as the diving line, Austin and SA are on this line, but I consider them South. El Paso is west.

Is Austin, Texas in the South or the West? How about San Antonio? (Redoing the poll because I'm a dumbass and duplicated one of the actions last time.)

@MA_Millennial_ The internal polls are always biased towards their party. If someone's internal polls show them losing, then they're losing. If it shows them winning, they aren't necessarily winning. I don't trust them except when their internal shows them losing.

Harris internals have her at 320 EV. Someone gonna be wrong!

@tdraicer I'm curious how you implement (if at all) Shakspeare, Spenser, Jonson, Marlowe, Sidney, Wyatt, Lyly, and all these great writers. I guess it determines what the goal of the game will be. Is it cultural flowering or conquest?

Next up after the I, Napoleon Expansion is I, Gloriana: The Life of Elizabeth I.

I have been appointed peace commissioner to negotiate a ceasefire between @NateSilver538 and @AllanLichtman

@LarrySabato Do you think this Robinson scandal could lead to a shift in votes towards Harris?

The Crystal Ball team has just met in emergency session, and in the fastest rating change in our history, we are moving NC GOVERNOR from Lean D to LIKELY D.

@NateSilver538 Agreed.

Guys, it's not hard. If you think every political development always bodes well for Republicans or always bodes well for Democrats, then you're a hack and also kinda boring tbh.
