Yeet. Looks great!
2016 > added Evan McMullin
McMullin is in at last! What are his stats, though?
Personally I think it should be:
Leadership: 3
Integrity: 4 or 5
Experience: 2
Issue Familiarity: 4 (he worked as Chief Policy Director and would have been involved with the issues a lot)
Charisma: 3
Stamina: 3
Debating: 3
Yes, except Integrity is at a 3 as there is little of a track record for McMullin. Perhaps a 4 is warranted – we’ll see.
Donald is known to be relying on the RNC for his GOTV infrastructure. Any plans to introduce something like that into the game? A random (very small) chance each turn to gain 1 footsoldier or 1 infrastructure point (or whatever it’s called)? Or maybe a hidden variable representing RNC/DNC organization power?
When a candidate becomes the official party’s candidate, they get a new Ground Strength number.
Trump goes from 2 (if start in primaries) to 4 (assuming the player hasn’t already upgraded their Ground Strength).
Jill Stein is listed on the ballot in Utah as an independent. I read where this is the care in 4 or 5 states because it is easier for candidates to get on the ballot as an independent, but the Green Party helped get her listed. Is there any way the game could model this?

I think this is a good case for McMullin having 4 Integrity: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/inside-evan-mcmullins-10-years-undercover-in-the-cia/2016/10/30/10347aa6-9d42-11e6-9980-50913d68eacb_story.html
Will this be the “Election Day Patch”? Changes are looking great!

@Dallas, aiming to have it released today. We’ll see.
– Events > Oct. 25th, 2016 > ObamaCare Rates Up Average of 25%
– Events > Oct. 28th, 2016 > FBI reopens Clinton investigation!
– Events > Nov. 6th, 2016 > FBI says no change in conclusion on Clinton!
Sounds good! A release today would be even better!
@Jesse,
Thanks for this – noted.
@Anthony Is there a reason that the WikiLeaks or FBI scandals are events and not in game scandals, as opposed to Trump’s comments on tape (which certainly hurt his campaign, which is currently not an event? Just curious.
WikiLeaks and the FBI actions weren’t regular scandals, they were external actions.
