RUNNING AMERICA
A GAME NOT QUITE AN ELECTION GAME, NOT QUITE A MAP GAME, AND NOT QUITE A NATION GAME
A GAME NOT QUITE AN ELECTION GAME, NOT QUITE A MAP GAME, AND NOT QUITE A NATION GAME
This site, as I have seen, has very little gaming in the Shared World section. So, I had the idea for a game where the thread essentially runs the United States starting from the year 2040. This would include people running for the Presidency, Vice Presidency, Senate, Cabinets, and other positions. In order to join, please do the following:
Fill out this in a post:
NAME:
HOMESTATE:
POLITICAL PARTY: (Choose Republican or Democrat)
AGE:
PHOTO: (Optional)
BIOGRAPHY:
In order to give a little context, the US has been in a political standstill starting after Bush I left office (this encompasses the modern day, yes, but keep discussion of current politics to a minimum. YOU MAY NOT RP A CURRENT POLITICIAN SERVING IN THE WHITE HOUSE, CONGRESS, OR ANY GOVERNORSHIP, NOR ANY PERSON WHOSE NAME I RECOGNIZE.)
Each week in real life will act as one week in game, starting from January 2040, except for special circumstances, such as wars, elections (Presidential and Midterm) and the like.
To give more background, here is a list of presidents starting with our incumbent in RL and going up to the incumbent in game.
Donald J. Trump 2016-2024
Pete Buttigieg 2024-2032
Nikki Haley 2032-2040*
*Haley is a centrist.
So, I'll kind of guide the game along, and (sadly) won't be able to play. However, I'll serve as a Game Moderator who will determine who has a chance at winning certain offices.
Starting Period~9/11-9/18
Jan. 2040- 9/18-9/25 (Start Campaigns)
Feb. 2040- 9/25-10/2 (Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina Primaries/Caucuses)
