Tomn posted:The booze/gambling/partying factions are probably going to condense down into one Hedonism party eventually. You say that, but you just know it'll split up into the National Hedonists, who want partying for native Tropicans only, and the Socialist Hedonists, who believe that everyone should get to party equally.

All the party icons are great, but I'd hope we remain limited to the actual in-game factions, at least at first. It wouldn't be so much fun if there were 30 parties of 3 or 4 people each, not to mention a hell of a lot harder for Wiz to keep track of.

I'm not too worried, I think a lot of the parties proposed will not even get the required 3-4 people to be formed, not to mention that I'll require a high degree of participation from all party leaders so that'll put a natural limit on it.

Sniper will do all the hard work of tallying the budget proposals and votes, and Wiz will only have to look at the final result. This system should be even easier than crete, because it'll be only 1 "law" instead of 7 per legislative session, and presumably the budgets will have a defined structure that has to be followed for it to be valid and will only be in effect for a defined limited time, instead of the free-form variable-duration laws that came up in crete.

Oh, well, if we're claiming party leadership and such, I declare the founding of the Swiss Society, a party dedicated to the idea that true wealth is to be found through investment in Switzerland. Any who wishes to sign up to help, ah, improve our collective power of investment is welcome!

After some tinkering and thinking, I've decided to hold sort of an unofficial vote here to finish up creating the Presidente, then kick off the actual thread after that finishes, as I generally don't like opening new LPs on a vote and it'd get all mixed up with the initial party formation. The way this will work is that I've pre-picked El Presidente's personality traits and appearance, so say hello to your glorious leader:   You guys will get to vote on a Name, Background and Rise to Power (ie which method did Parliament use to install him to power). The screenshots below will show all the available options for Background/Rise to Power, while name is just whatever you guys come up with. Note that some options are unavailable because of Presidente's character traits, and some Backgrounds cannot be picked together with some ways to Rise to Power (can't be from Muscow U and Installed by the CIA for instance). You guys register your preferences, and I will pick the three most popular choices in each and randomly decide on one of them. If we end up with an incompatible Background/Rise to Power I will re-roll. I chose not to show the gameplay effects because I would like at least the initial vote to be based on what seems fun/interesting rather than jumping straight into min-maxing. If you want to look up the effects for yourself go nuts, but keep it out of the thread. Background Options   Rise to Power Options  Again, pick a Name, a Background and a Rise to Power. Voting will go on for 48 hours.

I can't remember what the different traits do, so I'm going to vote for Though to be honest, I only have vague memories of who Nikon was. He WAS the would-be Populist dictator who lost his bid, fled the state, and ended up serving the Seleucids/Rome, right? Edit: Changed my vote. Wizardo is just too fitting.

Given El Presidente's personality traits, his stocky, stumpy physique, and his suspicious concealment of facial features, I'm really getting the feeling we might be dealing with Bilvio Serlusconi, a Self-Made Man who Bought the Election. But, you know. It might just be a coincidence.
