We seriously need to invent an RPG based on American Politics.
Zach, this could be really good for you if you were to ever go for a PhD in PoliSci ... We could literally find ways to invent mathematical formulae that would dictate outcomes based on current political research, and our own wild immaginations. It would be sort of realistic yet very very satirical at the same time, and probably quite cynical ... But think about this. What if there was a Political RPG on the same type of scale D&D is? This could be REALLY fun to play. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

Instead of classes: maybe occupations? Senator, Representative, Lobbyist, etc. etc. etc. Just tossing out some ideas. -------------------- |

This would have to be an online game... with the main "classes" (rep., dem., etc.), and also having sub-classes like a 7th level democrat lobbyist.
also, the intelligence and politics skills are completely seperate So the more power towards intelligence equals less ability to use it (because we all know intelligent people don't get anything done in D.C.) sex scandal breaks out....your party automatically gets a -5 PR rating -------------------- |

Dick Cheney has a +20 to his secrecy stat. The only disadvantage is that he gets -80 to his hunting skills and has to make a save roll each round to prevent a heart attack.

Republican nomination - allows you to summon the Ghost of Ronald Reagan, which gives +30 to conservatism.
Presidential Legacy - Substitute Bill Clinton's stats for your own for one turn.

How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
