    WI: United Airlines Flight 175 collides with Midwest Airlines Flight 7

    So, it'll be around... 2,475 at the least, 2,495 at the most, give or take a few hundred. (I added estimates including, 250 dead at the Pentagon, 100 dead in the Capitol, 20-50 killed on the ground in the collison, and 200 killed in the South Tower.)

    WI: United Airlines Flight 175 collides with Midwest Airlines Flight 7

    I'm pretty sure that UAL93 makes it to its desired target since it was after news of the South Tower being hit that the passengers took over. Also, for the damage, I based it off of the damage seen at Charkhi Dadri in 1996, despite the fact that neither is a 747 or an IL-76. I also took the...

    Here's 2008. I think I might have overdid it a bit. (Perhaps it's just that the scenario likes to lean Conservative, and I gave this a modest percentage, around 40%. And even though they upped it by .7 percent, they managed to win every state but 1. But I gave the BQ a bonus there that raised...

    President Forever and other 270soft games Megathread

    Anyway, I finally got it to work: It went to the House, and Trump won. This was supposed to be the 2015 election, I just plugged in the percentages, and hoped that it would work. So, 2015 goes to the Conservatives, by an extremely close margin. I blame this on De La Fuente. Darn spoiler...
