POWER: A US Political and Economic Sim

erepublik lol
its much better

What has Zig Forums become? We /neolib/ now?

Fuck off

You know, we could easily sway the game towards true socialism, either through the nazbol party which has more power, or the communist party which is less powerful.

third parties are not good in this game, like nasbol, or the greens, or PSL. You want to join the democrats in order to learn how to play. The only good thing about parties is their institutional strength and their party positions and the democrats have great institutional strength ( the highest) and great party positions.

No. Democrats are only good because the game is rigged in favor of them. When they lose on a macro scale it resets. Third party is the only party worth anything because it breaks the shitty system.

...

in this game you don't vote for positions, you vote for whats best for the economy. Party positions are different than what the laws are.

I don't recall anyone voting for abolishing markets and establishing planned economy

TO EVERYONE THINKING OF PLAYING:
the best positions are somewhere around left-wing for both economic and social. states like California and New York will be very left-wing for both. I'd recommend that beginners start in strong democrat states like CA and NY to get a better chance of winning seats.
