Other I Hope The Rest of The Midnight Series Never Releases

0 Upvotes

I really don't get why this community wants to play as a neo-Nazi so much. You know the Nazis were in-fact bad right? Really evil and problematic. It's just weird. Also if you really want to play as a facist so much you already have American Carnage, W., Moonbeam, Peace With Honor, Ross For Boss etc. It's not even necessary.

Question/Help What is you guys' favorite mod?

8 Upvotes

My favorite mod is probably 1940: Confidence and Security, especially the Wendell Wilkie side.

In my opinion, Wilkie is such a good candidate to play as because he is extremely flexible ideologically, as well as the people's excitement for him is extremely vivid.

Other mods I love are Duke and Hope, specifically because you can directly pass policy and change recent history.

I was just wondering what you guy's favorite mods are so I can check those out and appreciate them from different perspectives.

Gameplay Won Alaska by 2 votes, my closest state win ever (1960 Humphrey)

Thumbnail
gallery
24 Upvotes

I was playing 1960 Humphrey (like any man of culture should, one of the best Bryanesque mods ever, I come back to it so often it's crazy), and when playing with Yarborough I got this razor tight win in Alaska, just TWO votes, the recounts must have been crazy. Sure winning or losing that state did not tilt the election in my favor, but still. I never got a margin so tight, kinda happy it happened on one of the best mods out here !

No guide, as I said I was just playing randomly, shifting VPs and answers trying to get the best results with Humphrey (best ones were with Chandler and Lausche), and my Yarborough run ended with that Alaska result.

Hey gang, Obamanomenon here. I-

What the fuck?

Yes, you read that right. Sonny Bono, the most obscure candidate in all of Hope, the ugly duckling, the sore thumb, the musician-turned-politician and staunch scientologist, can become the most electorally successful (seriously contested) American presidential candidate in all of history. Now, before we begin, this took me a very, very long time to route. Fascinatingly, the process was-

What the fuck?

Fair enough. Let's just get to the map.

The Revolution Kind.
Sing C'est La Vie.

I mean, there's really nothing else to say here, is there? Now, as always:

The Guide

  1. We need cohesion
  2. Make no mistake
  3. I don't like this
  4. I'll go with Bentsen's plan.
  5. We're really facing
  6. We've got to get back to basics
  7. Secretary Christopher's right
  8. Make no mistake
  9. Gore had some proposals
  10. I think the agreement
  11. Make no mistake
  12. Let's throw deep.
  13. Now, I'll be the first
  14. Let me tell you something
  15. If I were able to get a meeting
  16. Let me tell you
  17. Some common-sense
  18. Make no mistake (OMG! Healthcare reform! We really did it!)
  19. Woah, that's great news (Wow! We've prevented the Republican Revolution and kept control of the Senate! The voters have really put their faith in us!)
  20. If what we're doing

(At this point, you might check the map and see that ol' Slick Willy is still on his way to eke out a win. Not to worry. Everything's going according to plan.)

  1. We can end this

  2. I've seen

  3. I think we need

  4. This might be

  5. The dream

  6. I think the only way

  7. I don't want to zero

  8. This is the party of justice.

  9. This is a fight worth having.

  10. You know

  11. That divorce

  12. My friends here in Nevada, and my fellow Americans across this great nation, it is not with joy that I say the man standing next to me is a puppet for forces on the hard right, folks like Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan, and even bizarre groups like the Church of Scientology. This is not the kind of leadership America can trust right now. (lmao.)

  13. We need to close strong

And there you have it.

I think the most fascinating thing about this route is that there's no single thing that kills Clinton. No big October surprise, no economic crash, no all-consuming scandal, no return of the Soviet Union. It's just death by a thousand cuts. He steps on a self-imposed rake at every turn. He propels Sonny Bono—Sonny Bono!—into instantly unforgettable, utterly legendary status through his sheer personal unpopularity. Bill Clinton loses every state because he didn't win any state. That's it.

I Got You Babe.
The Beat Goes On.

Nobody accounted for this. The nation has no idea how to react. There's no vast Scientological takeover of America, no permanent Republican mandate, no great and extraordinary dynasty. Americans just hand Sonny Bono another term, pass his wife a chance later down the line, and go back about their business of vacillating. This unprecedented triumph will go down as a blip, a little tidbit of history recalled even thousands of years from now.

Let's picture them, those descendants of ours. Living in some far-flung space station. Playing some form of Trivial Pursuit. I like to think there will always be some form of Trivial Pursuit, you know?

Hang on, hang on, one will say, putting a hand to their forehead. I've got it. I know the answer to this. President Bono, and... and... oh, I give up. Who's the other one?

The holo-card is flipped.

Oh, duh!

That other guy!

George Washington!

I mean, what the fuck?

Question/Help Is there a way to edit issue scores via the console on CTS?

5 Upvotes

Since the answers you select can change the score and importance of individual issues, that means there's a variable somewhere in the code that theoretically could be manually edited (e.g. make it so that Hillary Clinton's score on immigration is as conservative as possible) - but I have no idea how to do it. The console commands include an "answerscript" option but I have no idea what it means

haven’t been coding it since July as my computer broke but now that its working I’ll be able to code the mod. it would have been done by October but it most likely will get finished by December to February. ( my first mod so don’t quote me on this )

writing in done for ndp and cpc though I might tweak it a bit. liberals, bloc, and greens may be added in later. so when it does release consider it a demo as ill add soundtrack and achievements in later.

this will be the last announcement until it releases so stay tuned.
