I cant be reading that right. it's not really tenable to continue to work a job representing the campaign when you're on a prominent political blog with an email absolutely slamming said campaign.

Did the people running the campaign not know about the criticism in advance? I thought he'd already told them? its not like he wrote it for the blog, and it seems like the campaign would want people who could be relied on to fight for the staffers to help retention after something like that got posted like if its bad enough to be a problem why would you fire the guy that was trying to fix it, and if its not bad enough to be a problem why would you the fire the guy for someone else leaking stuff idgi but I guess I'm gonna learn soon enough, haha personally if it was my campaign i wouldn't have fired the dude, again unless i misunderstood something reading your example

Phi230 posted:Are there any politics RPGs Legend of the Five Rings and Amber both have tons of politics, and can be played politics exclusive really easily. Song of Ice and Fire is very politics heavy. Most of them are the "Court of Intrigue" style political wheelings and dealings, nothing I can think of based around campaigning or anything. There probably should be, it could be tons of fun.

It's hard to systematize social interaction, which is politics. Hillary Clinton can tell you all about that btw

Could you just magic up a politics simulator using apocalypse world as the base? The moves are already pretty abstract, you'd just be changing flavor text

The moves are already pretty abstract, you'd just be changing flavor text if it was cooperative, yeah totally. maybe base it on monsterhearts if you wanted it to be competitive, but at that point you'd be better of reskinning paranoia really paranoia is the only political game you'll ever need

SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:It's hard to systematize social interaction, which is politics. Hillary Clinton can tell you all about that btw I've played a couple games that systemized social interaction really well actually. The problem is that in an RPG most players don't want their social interactions systemized and get really confused when you actually do it. There's more good politics and campaigning video games & board games than RPGs for that reason, there's no built in assumption that there will be a division between the social and the mechanic the way there is in most P&P games.
