Please, only conservatives right now due to the gap betweent he GOP and DNC. I will except DNCers after I get 10 GOPers.

Let me break the SIM Down:

You earn PP (Prestigious Points) by debating, press releases, and editorials. The higher your PP the more influence your decisions make. Also, the higher the PP the better chance you have to win elections for Senator, Governor, or President. But you can still have a guy with low PP pull an upset like Dean almost did this year in the DNC primaries.

Now, elections are done on a calculator the Admins have. It factors in your PP, endorsements, campaign strategy, advertisements, etc. The GOP won by a land slide in the elections last month cause well, the DNC did jack shit for their campaign. You'll actually get to see how many people voted for you. The Presidential elections is done by Electoral Votes, just incase anyone is curious.

Now, everyone that signs in starts as a Rep in the House of Reps. After roll call in November, depending if we have enough members (Which we should) we will be able to hold elections for Governors and Senators.

You have Committees incase you're wondering. Right now they are:

Appropriations and Finance
Education and the Workforce
Energy and Commerce
International Relations and Armed Services
Judiciary and Government Affairs
Special Committee on Terrorism
Rules and Ethics

Ok, on Rules and Ethics I have to explain something to you. The Admins don't ban anyone at all. Unless you're caught cloning (Multiple Accounts). Now, for motions of censure, you have to have it passed through that committee then on the House Floor. If passed both, you'll then feel the wrath of the admin. Also, you also can push Amendments to the SIM Rules, creation of new committees, things of that nature in Rules and Ethics.

Now, like in real government, Legislation is submitted to the appropriate Committee and if passed, the Legislation gets forwarded to the House Floor. If passed in the House Floor, it goes to the White House where the President can sign it or veto it. If vetoed, we have a chance to override but you'll need 2/3s of the House to vote for it.

The SIM is extremely active also. The DNC has 101 members and the GOP has 95 members I believe. The Libertarians and Independents are each 20 members large.

You don't have to make the same god-damn thread every week! Just bump the other one!

Lost it.

My sister likes to delete shit from the favorites for some reason.

Oh. Never mind then.

Anyone interested?

I might be...

AH! Wait, conservative only?! nvm...

Conservatives tend to be older and more mature. (The exceptions to that are more annoying than the most wacked out liberal.)
Older, more experienced posters really are not likely to be interested in this sort of thing, which is why you are having a light response.

Now, if there were $ involved... You might get more interest. Maybe if everyone put in $1 each week and then part of the simulation was to campaign what charities to give it to...

I'm intrested but I am a (D).

I'll keep you in mind. But there has been an implosion in the GOP and if we don't get balance, it makes the SIM less fun and threatens to tank the Game.

Please, only Republicans right now.

I'm not conservative or interested in RPing.

Also by the second bump you could probably assume that no one is interested, especially if what Foxx was saying is true.

Just tell him you're a Republican then he'll give you a link to the game. Last time I checked, it was balanced and the Republicans were moving to a majority...plus the President of the sim is a republican...and if all else fails, just ask me for the link and I'll give it to you without biasing on your political party.

I'm intrested and I think people know what party I am Anarchist suck and liberals are annoying.

I won't give you the link and it has nothing to do with your party affiliation.

I'd advise Imperial Puerto Rico to do the same.

I'm not american (I'm australian), but I'm very aligned with US conservative views (although I'm probably more of a neo-con) and also a shareholder in News Corp Fox parent company ;) )

I'd be willing to join.

Christ, are you dense? The FP movement severly handicapped the GOP. Also, with the stunt Williams pulled I know for a fact Hahn (The DNC Candidate that will sweep the primaries) will win the WH with ease.

No, Opal, or Amara, whatever your name is, the GOP is not strong. You've no sense of balance. These Sims cannot be blown out by one party. That is how USSS and many SIMs before it tanked. The GOP kept increasing in numbers and DNCers started quitting. With a one sided House, the GOP got bored and started to quit thus ending USSS.

Seriously, Amara, the House needs to be balanced, not one sided.

I don't know what the FP incident is...however what you just said reminded me of some things that were happening...so I guess you're right, the Republican party is in need of some assistance, but hey, it's not my fault they can't keep themselves together...so, in the interest of keeping the sim together, I won't give out the link to liberals until at least when I get back.

If you can do that while the House gets balanced once again, I'd seriously appreciate it.

You've got about 3 weeks before you really need to worry about anything.

Also, Opal, what do you mean I have to worry in three weeks?

Well, you don't have to worry for the next three weeks about me doing anything concerning the sim.

Like Recruiting? Go ahead recruit, but remember, Balance is actually important in SIMs.

Uh...it's not going to do me a whole lot of good to recruit for the next three months.

Then if I may know, what are you planning?

Uh, that should be 3 weeks instead of three years...and what I'm planning is returning.
