not much to deflect now the revelations in yesterday's ny times have been picked up by the rest of the media (see comment 16 above)...of course there's always the possibility kerry isnt connected to moveon.org apparently the same cant be said of the bush campaign and swiftboat
how did the swiftboat vets ad help kerry? Moveon.org I was referring to. Moveon.org has been running anti-bush ads for months, yet kerry has only recently denounced them to try and deflect the swiftvet ads
Wow people, I think this is all about personal bias. I mean, democrats could care less about Michael Moore/Moveon/Franken and the like, even when they show up at official Democrat fundraisers and the like. But when the other side attempts the SAME EXACT THING they cry foul. This is just a double standard. Theres been so much shit out there about Bush, it PALES in comparison to this little thing. Honestly
Actually, Lincoln was similiar to Bush in terms of public view. Lincoln was seen by many as a right wing dictator, who took away rights in favor of security. While now we think of Lincoln as one of the greatest presidents ever, back then he wasn't nearly as popular (which is one of the reasons why he was assasinated). Democrats largely hated him, calling him a tyrant and warmonger, especially after he suspended the writ of habeas corpus. So, things
See my expansion suggestions post. You gotta realize, they were kinda under deadline to get this out inbetween the conventions, so didn't have time to add a lot of extra stuff like Third Parties and the like. Now that the game is realised, they can work on extra content (at least I'm hoping they do!) and maybe even release an expansion ala GalCiv.
Dean, Im sure the people from Stardock will read these posts And jscott, yea expanding the election night coverage is also a great idea and a must. I also agree that more customizing options would be nice, if not more political figures. I would really like to see Third Parties however, I think they would be very cool to play as and offer a change of pace (your goals would
Finally got the game on Saturday, my local Best Buy never got it in, but luckily CompUSA did. Anyway, I'm having a great time with it, although I havent gotten the chance to play online yet (I cant figure out how to start up an internet game, only option I see is to join one). Anywho, here's some suggestions I have for a
The thing about that is, then every candidate would focus their campaign on the largest populated areas (i.e. New York City and California). That means all their policies and issues would be ONLY related to those areas. This leaves the agricultural and rural areas at a major loss. You also won't get candidates based on their ideas but rather geographical roots (i.e. why would the dems or gop pick someone from idaho when a less talented guy from NYC
Who are online games? If you're reading this, you're probably one, and if you aren't, you probably know who they are already. Online Gamers are basically gamers who go online to extend their gaming activities, whether this means playing games like Counter-Strike and Everquest, checking out the latest Penny-Arcade strip, or looking up the latest gaming news from IGN.

Ok, now I understand. I misread the info posted on its release, I took it to mean that it would be up on SDC to get individually as well as part of the subscription. Thanks for clearing that up! And also about the demo, upgrading to the new 9.0c patch of DirectX fixes the problem (I still had 9.0b, wasnt aware of the new version). Games amazingly fun!
No need to get snippy, I had just taken it to mean that on August 10 I would be able to buy and download it electronically on August 10th, thats all. Like I said, I love Stardock and its products, was just expecting to be able to buy it electronically yesterday
Oh and by the way, it is def. the demo I downloaded and not the beta. It includes the pdf manual and ubisoft logos. Here's some more proof: Thank you for downloading the demo of The Political Machine. DEMO games will end after 12 turns (weeks) in the game. Multi-player games, creation of custom characters, and fantasy play are not supported in the demo. ###############################################################
I'll be buying it online, since you instantly get the extras
Disregard this post, I had misread the release info. And if you're having demo problems, upgrade to DirextX 9.0c, it should fix them
