@Cuthbert to accept the duel, risking death, or decline, at a cost of 2 popularity.
Butler, being only 14 years old, Declines
Why are you calling me out? Challenge someone who has points!
Sherman’s only 12!!! What are you, a fraidy cat!!!
Fraidy Cat! Fraidy Cat!
Having determined that Butler is chicken, we move to the publish newspapers phase. @Panzeh controls both party leaders, so he gets to decide what gets published.
There are 2 level 1 liberal papers and 1 level three liberal papers.
There are 2 level 1 Conservative papers.
Liberals gain one popular support from their existing paper, bringing the total to +2 in favor of the Conservative party.
@Panzeh, will you publish any papers?
Publish no liberal papers and two conservative papers
Done. We now move to the round (speeches, whipping support, and funding newspapers). @Panzeh, as the President, you are up first.
Stevens uses his ability to make a speech for free
Polk spends 1 IP on a newspaper
Stevens rolls a modified 5. Want to spend the 1?
Stevens will spend it.
William Rufus King will do absolutely nothing.
However, He spends a faction IP to found a paper.
Monroe speech
Now I imagine Monroe speaks like The Hulk or Solomon Grundy
MONROE TOO ELOQUENT FOR TINY PEOPLE! (Rolls a 1. I’m assuming you don’t want to spend the 5). @Cuthbert.
In my Crazy-brain I imagined that Monroe was welcomed to the rostrum by the Master of Ceremonies at a meeting, nodded to him, smiling. He rose, approached the rostrum and looked at the crowd. He smiled, raised a finger, had a glass of water, cleared his throat and said:
“MONROE SPEECH!”
Gallatin whips up support for the liberals
