Do you have what it takes to win a presidential election, /v/? Well judging by the last thread, no! But that's okay. Last thread we started to play a LBJ 1968 re-election sim and now we will finish it.>Last Thread >>730538179^Will be dead soon^
>>730573510One more fucking hill, Lyndon. You don't need a cigarette. You're going to win this and prove those fags Dick and Bush wrong. America cries out for safety. For freedom. Don't fuck it up now.

HANOI WILL BURN
>>730573757WE WILL BURN DOWN FLORIDA, CALIFORNIA, DC, HANOI, FUCK, WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY WITH LBJ TO SEOUL
>>730573510First things first, who will be our boy Lyndon's running mate? HHH is fine but... Do we really need him? (I merged the images for convenience, it doesn't normally look like this.)
>>730573920I want the Asian but just look at HHH. Take him.

>>730573920Let's mog with Boggs.
Honestly, if this shit had gone down, I'd be down with LBJ to the bitter end at this point. Never back down, never say die. Stood his ground against his traitorous party, stood his ground against the "peaceful" mob, went to Saigon and stood his ground against the VC. Give me a president with that kind of iron in their spine.
>>730573920Boss Hoggs
>>730574042Same actually, I stopped caring he helped get Jack killed the moment McCarthy reared his stupid ass head up a second time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPf_PJlJsJQ
>>730573920Inouye or Goldberg
>>730573920Inoueye, getting a direct will help salvage public opinion from vietnam.
>>730574142>>730574156It's called the White House for a goddamn reason and we don't need a Jew on our side making us look red.
>>730573948>>730574009>>730574051>>730574051>>730574142Three for Boggs, one for Humphrey, two for Inouye or one Goldberg. Now the final fight beguins.
>>730574191Map Update: NIXON SWEEP
>>730574191#3. They want to bring a knife, we'll bring a gun. They bring a gun, we'll bring a tank. They bring a tank, and we'll bring a nuke. Just fucking try me, Limp Dick. Let's play Chicken, they don't call me Long Big Johnson for no reason and you'll see why when I whip out this cock of mine. After all, everything's bigger in Texas.
>>730574191It feels like #2 is the only one that doesn't play in Nixon's court.#2: Force Nixon out of his court
>>730574279One for three, one for two, anyone else?
>>730574439If this posts end number is six or higher its 3, five or lower and its 2.
>>730574273It is nothing. We shall raise our eyebrow, and all will be known.
>>730574191Leaning 2
>>730574191>>730574559Everybody looks like shit, good job?
>>730574617HERE WE COME, REACH FOR YOUR GUNAND YOU BETTER LISTEN WELL, MY FRIEND, YOU SEEIT'S BEEN SLOW, DOWN BELOWAIMED AT YOU, WE'RE THE COWBOYS FROM HELL
>>730574617Achievement for dumping Hubert. Wear it with pride /v/ or don't.
>>730574617Gentlemen. We have successfully turned 1968 into the only worse election year in history: 2016
>>730574692As God as my witness I will make Jackson be remembered as calm and collected.
>>730574617Scorched earth at home and abroad I like it
>>730574617Map Update: Turns out everybody hates you way more than Nixon since he has over 400 electoral votes.
>>730574786This is but a goodwill gesture. If the gloves come off, it will be over quickly.
>>730574191>>730574617Wallace has finally reared his head, along with the nuke happy general. How do we handle these two goons?
>>730574875>The only way he'll end the war is with a nuclear bomb over HanoiI mean, to be fair, we might be on the way there too at this rateI'm leaning 2 or 4 here
>>730574875We've done well with rights despite Bobby backstabbing us. We can do #4 and get away with it. We still have Vietnam to carpet bomb so I don't want to shit on LeMay.
>>730574972Yeah you're right>>7305749544 it is
>>730574954>>730574972>>730574994Four it is. Maybe Wallace can hurt Nixon more than he hurts you.
>>730574875>>730575086Nixon is hungry for a victory, how should we slow him down?
>>7305751421 or 4, both seem pretty shady and looking for the same angle. What's better?
>>730575142Call Hoover. The FBI will be salivating to dig into Nixon and his CIA handler VP, Bush.>>7305752314 really seems like a trap. If word gets out we're publicly attacking Nixon, then he can play the jovial martyr. Let the Bureau spill the beans.
>>730575295Aight>>7305752311 it is. Game better throwus a bone for once, friggin corrupt-a-wish bs
>>730575231>>730575295>>730575352Watergate is going to look like nothing compared to what Hoover is doing to Nixon.
>>730575470why am i hyped for this
>>730575142>>730575470With Hale under Heel we need to put him to use. Your orders Anon?
>>730575578Two.
>>7305755783, you must BREAK HIM in the south
>>7305755783 for sure here
>>730574786>civil rights: massive resistance>>7305755783 please we gotta get the south on our side
>>730575619>>730575664>>730575668>>730575761Boggs back in the bayou, right at home.

>>730575578>>730575820The President of the USA is going broke and nobody wants to shovel money into the furnace that is the LBJ re-election campaign.

>>730575984#4. Money's on the line, and we're getting a Jew to figure it out. Oil's going to lose their shit once they realize how much they're going to start paying if they don't get on board with the Great Society.
>>730575984Two.
>>7305759844 is just so on brand though even if it is absolutely insane to piss off a texas billionaire2 is an absolute pussy move3 is weak sauceIt's either 1 or 4, and I'm leaning towards 4
>>730575984Leaning 1
>>730576087>>730576168>>730576173>>730576195Two for four, one for one, one for two. Any swaps?
>>730576286Your still running out of money but Nixon's coffers might soon start to bleed.
>>730576512We wouldn't be playing "follow the paper trail" if you fucks wouldn't fall for such obvious bullshit Nixon's spewing. Those Arabs are going to be giving us oil for decades, especially in 1973.
Map Update: You might be wanting to look for a new job because it doesn't look like Johnson's White House staff will be still employed.
>>730576620As long as question 30 is "do you take the shot" we're fine. We got Jack, didn't we?
>>730575984>>730576512Gentlemen, possibly the final hour of the Vietnam War is upon us. All of the blood spilled, all of the bombs dropped, Now we must negotiate an ending.
>>730576786Unburdening onto the UN seems like the high IQ play. The VC have been surging across the DMZ and Tet is the reason we went to Saigon. Make it so if those chucklefucks try to sneak around ever again, it's an international crime, and we'll wipe them off the face of the fucking planet. #2.
>>730576786How much War leverage do we have? How big is the anti War status? Do we have enough political Power? I choose Two regardless.
>>730576786>>730576912>>730577098Negotiation Results: Fuck
>>730577191NIXONNNNNNNN.
>>730577191Shit
>>730577191Hoover?Wet work.NOW.
>>730576786>>730577191Out of time, out of money, out of hope. The only thing we can do now is try to drag Nixon down with us. Torch him.
>>730577353FOUR. KILL BUSH KILL HIM.
>>730577353>Domestic issuesWe fucked that up>Flip floppingWe fucked that up>RNCThey hate us more than Nixon>BushBingo bango bongo. #4.
>>730577353How do you nail Tricky Dick to the wall if he's willing to go so far as to prolong the war just to fuck with you4's really the only option here, Nixon will weasel out of the other three
>>730577389>>730577436>>730577498Vietnam is burning. America is burning. Bush is burning. These meats on the other hand are nice and well grilled.
>>730577648I haven't slept, in real life, for a day and a half. I've had the pleasure of successful threads with earnest discussion on four separate boards of various topics. I haven't felt this connected, this alive, in a very long time, because there's too many normalfags in my life who don't get "it".Bring it on home, Johnny. We've got two more questions to go. I can see the Enola Gay in the distance. I know what's coming, and I'm smiling.
>>730577353>>730577648FRANCE IS HAVING A COMMUNIST REVOLUTION! ANONS QUICK HOW DO WE STOP THEM!??!?
>>730577760Two. DESTROY THE COMMUNE ONCE AGAIN.
>>730577760I hate this... De Gaulle bailed us out when there was a gold run. Charlie can't get to us even if we didn't find peace, but Pinkos... Goddamn Pinkos. #3. Eventually, the salt in the wounds stops burning.
>>730577760Two. Let's go down swinging.
>>730577760One. We cannot give up on France, even as it changes form, and the american public will completely understand!
>>730577760Fuck De Gaulle, the Vietnam War is his fault AND he pulled out of NATO2 it is
>>730577792>>730577826>>730577882>>730577898>>730577910THREE FOR THREE, ONE FOR ONE, ONE FOR TWO. PARIS BURNS!

The Last Map Update: We Won't Win.
>>730577760>>730578004The Final Question. Where should we spend our last few hours Anons?
>>730578130>>730578207We're going to New York (I'd rather be in Hoboken).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E2hYDIFDIU
>>730578207Cali or bust
>>730578207The Midwest seems close.
>>730578207It really comes down to the Midwest vs New York, the south is on fire and a last minute appeal to California isn't going to flip it instantlyI say 3
>>730578296>>730578369>>730578379Midwest or New York?
>>730578414Midwest
>>730578414New York. I want to look the bastards in the eye when they decide to vote Republican.
>>730578379>>730578448We are capping it off in America's City. God Bless You All.

The Final Map.
>>730578784>I'm tired. I'm tired of feeling rejected by the American people. I'm tired of waking up in the middle of the night worrying about the war.This was too much fun. It was just the right amount of people, all in the right headspace, at the perfect time of night into the early morning. I've learned to have more understanding for this piece of shit. I always knew it was a raw deal, but all of these hypotheticals really helped frame just how much of a demon deal he received when he agreed to help kill Jack.Evil, in all its forms, consumes, ruins, destroys. I'm not saying I have a newfound respect for LBJ, because letting Jack die was as monumental to our nation's development as WW2 itself. But I at least understand him, somewhat, and now I have even more hatred for everyone else in the 60s and 70s.What a shit-fuck of a generation.
>>730578784At least we took out France when we had the chance
Here is the end Presidents list which is different each time because it is directly changed by the choices you make.>This is the music playing right nowhttps://youtu.be/U0f8jKOuPLk?si=U60eAZx1FvP6ZBkR
The first ending slide.
>>730578984>we stopped carter, reagan, 90s bush, and clintonthat timeline will never know how blessed it was...
And the second ending slide.
>>730579143>we stopped 9/11 AND killed Nixonwe... did good...
>>730579143>nixon gets killed by a suicide plane leading to early air security improvements likely stopping 9/11did losing put us in the golden timeline?
>>730578984I wonder what diplomacy looks like over that 24 year span from Bush to BuchananBush got a front row seat to the entire middle east going up in flamesUdall probably utterly failed to cool things off and the economy was probably wiped out so they got Heinz, who was probably inept and one-termed, and Haig likewisePat Buchanan presiding over the looting of the Soviet Union is a hilarious mental image
>>730579223>>730579273>/v/ can't read
>>730579143I'm getting a high off of this kind of shit. Video games really are fun with others, even single-player games.>>730579343>>730579143 literally says the attacked kill Nixon you dingus.
>>730579343the wording on the slide is weird. it says its an episode based on the attempt but the plot talks about it matter-of-factly as if those were the "canon" events
>>730579343>I couldn't read all alonghttps://youtu.be/vYyptZRzO8M?si=6GnhjHVCLLoQSzZn
>destroying france saved americaWhat did they mean by this?
>>730578984>Two Term BuchananLiteral nightmare scenario.
>>730579523The government doesn't want you to know this but the entirety of Europe is a massive fucking albatross on the neck of the United States. The US' war budget currently spent keeping Russia out of Europe and deal with the absolute asinine bullshit France and England caused in Southeast Asia could've been used to conquer Canada and the entirety of Central and South America throughout the 20th century and created the largest republic world history has ever seen.
>>730579625>2 term buchanan after rwanda, bosnia, chechnya, and the global asian financial crisis
>>730579625Yeah life for gay people and women in the 90s under Buchanan would be grim
For the next mod I suggest Razjistoria on OpenTCT.
>>730579759There were no gay people in the US during the 90s.
Can some Anon make one of those 4chan collages? >/v/ Acts As LBJ's Advisors
>>730579862That would be a herculean effort since it would require:>resizing the images from the screenshot so they're legible to the reader in the image>including the responses>including images and titles to any linked songs>making this all fit within 4chan's file size limit and resolution limit
Dont look at me, I voted Wallace
>>730579979Damn.
>>730580078If I may offer some gentle advice?RP your responses to the best of your ability the next time you're in a thread so full images don't have to be included in the final macro. The OPs in both threads understood the assignment and explained the gist of each question, so it's up to the responders to add more depth while creating more humorous answers.
This was fun, shame I wasn't here when you guys tried to make the Joeverture happen.
>>730580169Alright, thanks. I had a amazing time but I'm done. All of you were great. True Patriots! Have a nice night or morning now since this shit has been going on for eight FUCKING HOURS. All The Way Anon signing off. God bless you.https://youtu.be/KaHBqLYwJTc?si=AR_vh3LqD5cHK0_Q
>>730580457Thank you, true patriot.
>>730580457>"Was it worth it, Dick? Did you get what you wanted?"
>>730581494Hell yeah it was worth it.
>>730579625True.
>>730579523 They probably meant in that galaxy-brained alt-history way where France collapses early, sparking some kind of power vacuum in the EU, causing the U.S. to double down on isolationism, only to emerge 10 years later with complete economic dominance because they skipped the Euro-crisis, didn’t get dragged into North African conflicts, and invested in domestic AI before the rest of the world caught up. So yeah, "destroying France saved America" in a cartoonishly conspiratorial timeline kind of way.
>>730579759It sure would.
