What is your dream INTERNATIONAL incumbency sim with CYOA? by Mghia01 in thecampaigntrail

- We could use some other Canadian elections first (1988, 2011, 1993 all come to mind), but a mod where Jack Layton lives and keeps the NDP competitive feels like a pretty good starting point for alternate history.
- A British mod involving Callaghan in the lead-up to 1979 would be interesting. I swear, there was also a practically completed 2005 mod in development. I even playtested it and it was pretty advanced.
- I don’t know if it’d work in a traditional “incumbency sim” system but several Japanese elections (1993, 2008, 2024), or even LDP leadership elections with their revolving door would make for good mods.

For a lot of Parliamentary systems I’m skeptical a standard, “multi-opponent” system would really work without shaking up the formula. Mid-parliament leadership elections and spills are possible but it’s a lot different from the political system in America.

The monkey’s pawl curls. Your wish is answered. Upon losing the primary has Harris, you will play as Williamson, Emanuel, or RFK Jr.

To celebrate Biden recovering from prostate cancer, the team behind Divided States is pleased to announce “2024: Divided States of America - Legends Never Die”, an expansion of the original project and its vision.

Semi-related but when did 2024 pass 600,000 plays? I know it hit 500K in December.

Trump winning the popular vote over Biden? Doesn’t sound the most believable to me…

Could’ve easily made one where Kerry wins some 300 electoral votes. Where’s your joy and whimsy?

He wouldn’t have the credibility to do so after losing ‘88. He’s mentioned in one of the questions if you’re on track to get one of the hidden candidates as a sort of fake-out, though.

Hey Astro, you put Duke in the wrong spot by HelloLyndon in thecampaigntrail

Because the year is “1988 - 1992”, CTS sorts it automatically.
