  1. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    And to elaborate for some newcomers... this sort of thing has happened before, if I remember correctly it is possibly a yearly thing where the site's certification or whatever it is expires and doesn't get replaced or renewed (or whatever, I don't really know how this stuff works) for a few days...

    The China of the tl is a very different China than ours, going back to the 1920s. The first two posts in the series of posts linked go into some detail for how things started, and some others touch on latter Chinese domestic politics and/or foreign policy, but long story short (ish)... China...

    What if the events leading up to the Civil War went even worse? ..."Brooks grabbed the falling Sumner, held him up by the lapel with one hand, and continued to lash out at him with the cane in the other.[14][15] Several other Senators and Representatives attempted to help Sumner, but were...
  6. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    So, I got around to doing the same as above with Trump(/Christie) for 2016, to find what might be the best theoretically possible game (or at least close to it) The link to the code is here, again just paste it into the console when you are on the first question While Clinton starts with an...
  7. Map Thread XX

    Reminds me of this thing I did a while back. A bit of a different way of doing it, with more tiers and a different way of doing it (exponential rather than linear growth being the term, iirc, for population needed to get a new senator) but with the same basic idea of making the senate more...
  8. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    I've been doing a bit of a thing The 2020a game relies a whole lot on luck. When the first info about changing the difficulty in the console commands was revealed however many months ago, I had thoughts about looking into the code to try to modify stuff and get the best questions possible, to...
  9. WI FDR's Second Bill of Rights was implemented?

    Maybe we could have some alternate scenario where a couple conservative justices die in FDR's first term, so he doesn't resort to court packing (which led to a huge backlash and got a number of moderate Democrats who were somewhat supportive of the new deal to turn on it and FDR). Maybe throw in...
  10. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    I'll second Matthews, I'm pretty sure you can win with all of them with a good strategy but I've had what seems like slightly better results with Matthews Also, on a different note, I'm just gonna say, there's been a lot of talk from people being anxious for the website creator to work on more...
  11. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    I've done a bit better in this game Failed to win New Mexico or Rhode Island, but on the other hand, managed to win Washington, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Ends up being 34 electoral votes better than that game, as well as a margin of 7.63 points (and 9.5 million votes) better than that game
  12. Map Thread XX

    A bigger map from this post, nothing too fancy or special, just a wikipedia-style map of a Britain that retained the American colonies and integrated them rather than dominionizing them, and went on to have a socialist revolution but also loses Britain and Ireland, for sort of a reverse-Taiwan...

    The Great European War was brutal. By the end, the warring nations were worn down and exhausted to the point where widespread revolution rocked the continent. Of course the warring nations could not allow this to succeed - after millions of deaths butchering each other in the trenches, the...
  14. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    Any links to these reddit comments or whatever? Also, regarding '72 since it was mentioned upthread, McGovern shouldn't normally be able to win even on easy, but it could be cool to at least see if you can do better than McGovern's OTL 23.2% loss But also, apparently McGovern polled...

    It is randomized. One thing that can make a difference is who you pick as VP in a handful of cases but it wouldn't have an effect on that election or that situation. Some questions seem to have a certainty of occuring while others are random, with possibly more or less chance of occuring, but I...

    A 2012 Romney win on normal, with Pawlenty and going pretty moderate. Romney wins 51.7-47.4, with a margin of 5.6 million votes and an electoral college vote of 347-191. Romney wins the Trump 2016 states plus CO, NV, MN, VA, and NH, though interestingly loses NE-02

    Just a heads up, but if the president and vice president candidates are from the same state, it means that they cannot win the state they are from. This wouldn't always matter, like if LBJ picked a running mate from Texas for example since he won in such a landslide, but in your scenario, Gaddis...

  20. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    I doubt it and I doubt it is even possible (unless you use exploits/hacking). Democrats generally start with something like 90% of the vote or more, and while you can make some big shifts with "sabotage" games, there's still only so much you can shift things even with a terrible campaign. I've...
