>>1910439Upon a cross of globalism is so dumb and out of date, the idea that the culture war wasn't important is laughable.It was the defining issue that moved swing voters towards trump according to exit polls.
Something that really fascinates me upon replaying 2002Netherlands is the point it makes about how entirely preventable Fortuyn's death was. Besides obviously the choices you make in his own side, with a VVD player character he survives unless you ignore all the threats of violence against him and refuse to take the choice to monitor him, and with a PvdA player character he also survives unless you keep radicalizing the left by calling him a fascist threat to democracy.
Are there any coming soon mods that you guys are hype for?

>>1910439I have a question, is TCT actually about governing or just literally trying to get yourself elected and the game ends once you succeed? If the latter is true, what's so special about it?
>>1910690TCT is 95% the latter, although there are some campaigns such as 1920b where you RP as the incumbent head of state and make governing decisions in between running for re-election. Most of the appeal is in the strategy element where you have to weigh the risk of choosing precisely which issues to campaign on and where.
This community is so embarrassing

>>1912153>feels like the community will benefit from the mods with fuck-all stakes like 2020 realignlol
>>1912153Many such cases
Here's my 2032 Swan Song review:I really like the new tech with the coalition mechanic. Having visible stats like this makes for better CYOA mods and a better playing experience. Mods like Obamanation, American Carnage, or even W. suffer from not telling the player what they are doing wrong or how to do thing right. This solves that issue.Writing-wise, I think Swan Song is solid. It isn't anything to write home about, but the creators clearly know how to write and that shows.It seems the retards on the reddit don't get how this is from the perspective of the New Right's own vision of reality. The mod creator isn't saying that there is one big international regime which oversees all elections and causes riots. But that is how the New Right sees things.Also, it probably isn't that far from the truth. The main thing which feels wrong is how organized the Regime is in the mod, in reality I bet it's a complicated and disorganized collection of rich people and NGOs and the politicians they've bought off.The mod isn't partisan, which I appreciate. Vance isn't some 'le ebil nazi' just because he's a right wing populist, but the mod still acknowledges how those policies aren't necessarily going to help all people, how global warming is a real thing, the atrocities committed by Israel and so on.I don't really get why 'darwinists' are a part of the coalition of the Movement. Like Tecnocapitalists, sure. Since Elon Musk will basically own the government in January. While that's not a large amount of people, it is an important block of donors. But Darwinists? Who are they, what the fuck is their deal? There's an adolescence here which shows through. Though, that does add to the novelty, tone, and gimmick.Overall, pretty good. I hope the faggots don't block it from a mod loader just because they can't understand what it's going for.
>>1912153Record time.

>>1912153It's sad, this dude is a genuinely talented teenager with a vision I think he succeeded on.But because the dumbasses didn't understand what it was going for, he gets bullied and leaves. That sucks.>>1912152Look at this fucking child. Why are so many of the people in this 'community' like teenagers? I'm older than most of these bastards and I'm only 22.Fucker has a creeper over a bisexual flag as his profile pic.
>>1912153This just makes me sad man.
>>1912160>Mods like Obamanation, American Carnage, or even W. suffer from not telling the player what they are doing wrong or how to do thing right. This solves that issue.Naimina made a sub-mod for W. and Obamanation that labels the effects of all answers>It seems the retards on the reddit don't get how this is from the perspective of the New Right's own vision of reality. The mod creator isn't saying that there is one big international regime which oversees all elections and causes riots. But that is how the New Right sees things.I don't know if he got to implement it, but Naimina had said about a week ago that if you chose specific answers and lost by a big enough margin, the game would shift out of the New Right's perspective. The "Regime" would change to "Progress" and the "Movement" would change to "Reaction"
>>1912155Routevenus is one of the W guys, he's being facetious.
>>1912153>routevenusIs that not the creator of 1972d?
>>1912164They aren't.These people on these servers and that subreddit are all fucking 17yo commies, sometimes younger than that. They're all 'neurodivergent' so heavily mentally ill and autistic. Hence why so many of them are trans.I remember back in the day, when mods were just first starting to be made back in like 2020. Before the Dan Bryan scenario for 2020, before both NTC and CTS even existed the whole space was politically nuetral. You had commies, libertarians, right wing populists, centrists, progressives. Generally if anyone was attacked for political beliefs, the group would insist that politics were irrelevant and we went back to talking about history or new mods.This happens with all 'communities' I'm afraid. When fandoms stop being just a place to passively talk about a thing, and instead become a replacement for actual friendships, autistic, lonely retards congregate and form an internet hugbox.Most of those mentally ill, lonely, 'digital natives' are lefties, so these communities become hives of gayness
>>1912153Why do modmakers try to kowtow so much to the amorphous liberal blob that is the TCT discord & reddit community?
>>1912177Because both of the main sites people use for this game are headed by that blob.
>>1912177Everyone who has the time, the dedication, and motivation to make a full TCT mod is probably an autistic kid who really likes American politics and political history.These people are lonely, they want a large group of people who understand them and their interests.They want a community.But the community is rotten, they're bad people. Typical with leftists. Righties tend to be much more pleasant even with our penchant for slurs and insults.And so another lonely dude gets betrayed by the people he thought were he friends. It won't be the last.
>>1912152>Regime Change was criticized for being too easy to win, not as much for being isolationistOh bullshit, there was an entire thread on there that the mods removed and was filled with people calling it Russian propaganda.Difficulty was the least of my issues with it. It was criticized for piss poor writing and for taking an unfunny joke and beating it like a dead horse
>>1912153A bit cowardly, ain't it?
>>1912179>Make conservative mod>liberal blob recoils in disgust>conservative mod rejected from loaderSo what's the solution here?
>>1912182Regime Change was one of the worst mods made so far.The whole thing was a one note joke mod built around a singular point of 'political satire.' But that satire was dated as shit. It acted like the year was still 2002 and everyone is just rearing up for war. That wasn't even true in the 2000s. If Nikki Haley promised war, she'd lose in a landslide.And outside of that, there was nothing else to the mod, it was one note. There was more fucking nuance in genuine meme mods like Spongebob 2008 or Sumner 68.
>>1912184Make our own site? It's on github so we could make a copy. https://github.com/newcampaigntrail
>>1912184Well unless some 'Free Campaign Trail' website is made, if someone here stole the source code or something, than nothing can be done.I suppose the people who make these threads should make a document with all of the banned mods linked in it for people to play with the custom loader.And then that document could be linked in the OP for these threads?
>>1912184Well we can just archive the more uncomfortable mods here through the github/pastebin analogues. Then you can just put them into whatever loader you want.
Yet again 4chan proves itself morally superior to both Discord and Reddit
The yellow highlight is determined by this question, it's basically a guide for a VN (populism, christianity, dark enlightenment, objectivism respectively)
>>1912153okay to be honest, this mod is Godawful, but for no reason should it be taken down
dan bryan pls come back tards have taken over your game
>>1912103Maybe its just me, but the writing for the Percy stuff is noticeably weaker than the FBI and Vietnam toozers. The whole thing is stilted, it lacks the personality and punch that the initial posts had. Maybe its thanks to Chuck being not super interesting as a person, maybe its a problem with the writing being stretched thin across what seems to be two paths per candidate, but its not a great opening to TTNW's opponents. Hopefully Agnew will be more promising.

>>1912293Of course you got banned. Didn't you know the only jokes that you can make are 'republicans are chuds' jokes?
>>1912319Understandable honestly.
>>1912293I like what you're doing. I think a TCT without this clique-ish nonsense is terrific.And as such I will avoid making fun of you for being a redditor and typing like one.
>>1912293love ya king, hope y'all can finish it soon and provide an actual alternative to Astro and the others.
>>1912237People were calling this guy racist and taking his mod entirely serious.I don't even see how the mod is racist. Because riots happen after a BLM type shooting? That's just a fact of life at this point.

>>1912331I'm simply being formal, I get why it sounds reddit though. Expect me to be a lot more chill in the upcoming server

>>1912336That's not what I was referring to. I lot of people here may be tourists from the reddit, so they wouldn't know, but on 4chan you don't hit 'enter' and break each sentence into it's own line, really.And if you wanted to, you couldjust hit enter once.No one here spaces a sentence between empty lines.Just in case you ever post here more, you have to type correctly or you'll be mocked.
Now I see why Reddit hates the mod
>>1912340The fragile lefty teenagers on the sub and discord were imminently put off by how the mod had a right wing slant which wasn't a disguise for how the right wing sucks or whatever.Then when the BLM part came in, some siren came around in their autistic brains and they called the mod racist, fascist, and evil.
>>1912344Oh I know about that, I'm not that much of a newfag. I just felt it looked more "formal". Anyhow, it doesn't matter. Join the server, we're making something beautiful out here.
>>1912343holy LARP
>>1912343t b h I don't care about a discord, but a new website would be a huge step in the right direction for this gay ass community
>>1912368If it helps justify the Discord more, I need it for feedback and improvement(s) once the website is actually out. It's a way to keep contact and organize a parallel to Astro's Reich
>>1912227
>>1912342>There's already someone having a melty at how it portraits Biden as an evil racist for that. You just can't win with these people, folks.I checked that guy's post history, he's a disingenuous fuck. Multiple comments accusing Biden of both being complicit in genocide and being fully senile.
Hey I'm the "right wing friend" Naimina talked about. We did all of the writing and he did the code. He's not in the best mood but he'll recover. He's gotten both a tremendous amount of hate and support for the mod.I'm admittedly new to 4chan, so I can't say much. I can confirm that the Naimina guy has a larger community of friends, so don't worry about him. I can answer any questions in regards to the development of the mod. I was there for enough of it I can say pretty much anything.
He's also done with modding... On TCT proper. He's thinking about moving to the new OpenTCT webpage that was just set up. What do you guys think?

>>1912761You can get special endings by either throwing your lot in with DNVP or Strassers+SA. You probably didn't get enough points for a Strasserite ending.
>>1912761You must've missed some. Successfully going all in with the SA leads to Ernst Rohm kicking off a civil war.
>>1912761>>1912767>You need to have at least 20% of the votes and support SA at least 7 out of 8 possible times, which have to include giving Rhöm control of SA and starting violent campaign in the last question. The option that support SA are often obivious, though moblizing youth also counts.

>>1912879lmao
>>1912879>Speedy Delete. Not notable nor does one source make something notable enough for a page, per all the above. This is an encyclopedia, not a playground for 14 year old Redditor's who appear to be fanboys of George Wallace or Nelson Rockefeller to make a muck in. Ha

>>1912898That is fucking funny, not even the simps 'le wholsem libural Rockefeller' is gonna work lol
>>1912746>OpenTCT makes a groveling apology about this mod on RedditThat’s fucking pathetic
>>1913185It's because they didn't have permission to host it, not because of the mod itself you fucking retard
>>1913185I think the problem was that the mod was put on there without the mod maker's permission
permission is a spook.
>>1913190>>1913191Fucking pathetic
I don't get why permission is a big deal, especially for mods with their codes publicly available. I can see the argument for not putting up leaked or unfinished codes that the creators don't want out there at all, but theres no real difference in having the codes up on a reddit post and having the codes be hosted by a site. The latter is just way more convenient to the average person. Regardless, trying to adhere to the permission thing is going to strangle opentct. It looks like Identity War isn't going to be on the loader because of this, and thats probably the most famous banned mod that a lot of people would be interested in playing. It would attract some serious publicity and make the whole project a bit more notable.
>>1913325Yeah, I feel like going up to people who pop in every three months and going "Hi, can I put your mod on my free speech TCT fork?" is a dead end.Having stuff like 1930 Weimar and Identity War on there would help give people a reason to use it.
>>1913325Not personally attached to whatever modmakers think but it's kind of the big thing about 1930Weimar that it's not on any of the loaders not because it's a no-no mod but rather the guy behind it didn't want to "normalize nazis" or something to that effect.
>>1913457The mod is made. The mod is out there. Normalize nazis my ass. It’s a fucking niche political web browser game.The terminally online redditors have already written off the loader and everyone associated with it as homophobic bigot chubs fascists and there’s exactly zero chance of having any sort of conversation with them
>>1913457it was because they were worried about getting the site blocked in Germany
>>1912197Still the best site on the internet, no matter how shit it gets
>>1912256>Republicans win Minnesota, lose IowaGross
>>1912246didn't he get banned for telling people to kill themselves
Wow, considering what the modding community is like, I never thought I'd see a Campaign Trail thread on here. I guess autism truly knows no bounds. Anyway, where can I find OpenTCT? I wanna see if there's any interesting mods on there that got ignored on the other sites.

Hey /vst/!Try going on the TCT Discord and type "OpenTCT".They're so desperate lmfao
>>1917970How desperate from 1 to a Nixon?
>>1917974In fairness I'm not saying that OpenTCT is an active and horrifying threat that will take down mainTCT but the fact they don't even let you call OpenTCT evil in the main server feels like some pretty draconian censorship.I just realized my initial statement didn't quite explain what's happening -- you're basically unable to say the words "OpenTCT", "Open TCT" and I think even "ChudTCT" is blocked too.
The Wallacemod is quite good.
What's with content named W. and them portraying Bush in a sympathetic light?
What would the differences between a Carter second term and Reagan first term?
For seven months now, Sleepy Joe Biden has barely left the basement of his house. That ends now, and I'm pretty confident the American people won't like what they see from him.

Hey friendsJust a reminder that /r/thecampaigntrail removed a post showing that it's possible to do more than 4 answers per question exclusively because OpenTCT did it, even though it's a good thing for everyoneThat's all :)
>>1918931How did you manage to allow six questions?
>>1918938It's very, very, very simple but required engine changes that I haven't figured out how to make customizable from code 1/2 yetI won't say it here because CTS and Astro will likely steal it as is, let alone if I just hand it over on a silver platter like this, but it was very easyFor all I care, mainline TCT can eat shit after removing the post instead of asking me how I did it, which I would've gladly said how
>>1917582I've won the primary twice in Fire on the Prairie, but never the actual election.
>>1918931Actually expanding gameplay features? That's solid, dude.
>>1918931>actively expanding on what the game can doShit, that's actually really good; you can put more content into less questions then, plus six answers can expand how much CYOA you can set up. Look forward to see what else you can do with it.
Which scenarios that you a while to get a landslide? Also what would have happened if pic related happens, it's 1976 Regan beats Ford in the primaries.
Hi, I just want to confirm it's more insane than that. We added a parameter e.max_answers you can customize. You can have 500 answers to a question for all we care, it's easy as setting one parameter in code 2. Looking towards adding a scroll bar if it gets too long in a future update.
opencampaigntrail.xyz loads like shit for me for whatever reason, the other OpenTCT mirror works fine.

>>1922475Posting on 4chan, probably. Not a big fan of all these redditors dragging their drama in, but admittedly it can get very funny at times.
>>1922475Cited reason is "ban evasion".It's because of my Dick Cheney account which I exclusively used to give an air of mystery to Vice. Before I created that account I had zero warnings or poor standing with the moderators, but it got banned because of the AIDS comment so now they banned my main for "ban evasion"???

Every candidate reveal for TTNW has been so ass. I can't believe they managed to make Goldwater's political resurrection boring. The only toozer that was even slightly interesting was Lindsay's, and even then that was just the subpath where RFK gets too close to the south. That was the only one where they showed an interesting scenario. Every other toozer is just "This guy is like really strong, RFK goes fuck and shit when he sees him, btw the FBI is a thing remember that RFK can use the FBI get it he does bad stuff too".
>>1933023The FBI thing just sounds so useless. Like they give you a free win button.
>>1933023I don't get why they even made two separate paths for Lindsay. Dixie RFK has so much more narrative weight behind it than the standard Lindsay path they showed. Honestly the two routes aren't even comparable. In one route, Bobby Kennedy has compromised his ideals and faces a sobering reflection of the man he used to be. In the other route, Lindsay is just a lame Kennedy copycat that nobody likes. How the hell would Lindsay even get the GOP nomination if RFK doesn't mend fences with the south? It seems like Lindsay getting the nom should be in reaction towards a conservative pivot by Bobby, otherwise the republicans should still be the party heading in a conservative direction.
>>1933137>How the hell would Lindsay even get the GOP nomination if RFK doesn't mend fences with the south? It seems like Lindsay getting the nom should be in reaction towards a conservative pivot by Bobby, otherwise the republicans should still be the party heading in a conservative direction.RFK mends fences with the south in both Lindsay routes going off of the narration, it's merely a question of how well the fences are mended. In the less mended route, the implication from the writing is that Lindsay only becomes the nominee because the party is offering him as a sacrificial lamb. RFK's term has been such a runaway success that all the usual suspects have opted out of running, discouraged by his apparent invincibility, leaving RFK-lite as the last man standing
>>1933214Still seems far-fetched, if RFK doesn't alienate his own base then there should be no impetus for the GOP to nominate a guy as liberal as Lindsay. Hes just too far outside of Republican orthodoxy. Reagan would make far more sense as a sacrificial lamb. Hes a person that would absolutely run against RFK even if theres little chance of victory, and his politics (far right as they may be) are far more palatable to the Republican base than Lindsay's democrat-lite liberalism.But really, even if it did make total sense, having two routes for Lindsay would still strike me as pointless. The way they set it up you get one route where Lindsay flips the race on its head in an unexpected way, and one route where hes a lame flop. I don't see the point in keeping around the lame flop route, it just diffuses the narrative weight of Dixie lover RFK.
>>1933220>having two routes for Lindsay would still strike me as pointlessI mean technically the FBI mechanic itself presents two routes for each candidate, except possibly Rockefeller. Percy, Agnew and Goldwater all have unique questions where they can get fucked over by the FBI, but without that benefit they can all present competitive matchups for RFK.
>>1933214The Doylist answer is that a handful of the dev team enjoys John Lindsay as a historical character and they wanted to add them in. it's just that simple.
>>1933257If anything the FBI makes Lindsay's flop path even more pointless. If theres already an entire mechanic dedicated to making your opponents weaker, whats the point of Lindsay having a separate (weaker) path from the start? You could have just had Lindsay's stronger path be his only one, and then let the FBI be used later to weaken him. That would have preserved the narrative twist that Lindsay vs Dixie Bobby provides while still allowing the player to weaken a strong opponent.>>1933383I mean yeah obviously, but adding stuff just to add it sucks. Its a problem that W+ had in spades.
>>1933137>It seems like Lindsay getting the nom should be in reaction towards a conservative pivot by Bobby, otherwise the republicans should still be the party heading in a conservative direction.IIRC American Carnage was very similar in this regard. Where you usually end up with the candidate who's diametrically opposed to Trump based on your decisions. Except when you run a populist administration, which gives you Bernie Sanders.
>>1933525When I'm playing W+ and they bring out my favorite senator GARY HART!!
You know what's the worst part of Obamanation being a dogshit flop? The dev fucked off and didn't finish the Gingrich side for Mouths of the South.
>>1934568The dev had said for months prior to Obamanation’s release that it was going to be his final project. He was fucking off regardless of the reception
>>1934681Yeah? Well he's a fag then.

>>1910439is the only way to block the election in 1860 is to go all in on new york and do the fusion tickets?I played the scenario 20 times and only got new york once by 500 votes.
>>1936621Yeah, that's the only way. The anti-Lincoln vote was split, so unless you do what Douglas didn't and agree to the fusion tickets your basically screwedThat said, the 1860 mod is REALLY outdated, as there was a lot more shit that happened during it and a lot more stuff was suggested that the fusion tickets by the anti-Lincoln vote too. Same with the 1968 election, they could really use expanding on.
>>19368831860 isn't a mod.It's one of the original scenarios by Dan Bryan. Hell, we probably should stop using the word 'mod' to refer to the scenarios which aren't on AmericanHistoryUSA.They used to be mods back before NCT and CTC were made, now they are just scenarios or levels even.

>>1945351There is a way to outright win as Thurmond. You have to choose Byrd as your running mate (he's deliberately overpowered anyway so you'd be insane not to), and then on Q32 you have to choose the "judge me not by the actions of my past" answer. It hurts you in the South but it gives you an enormous boost in Pennsylvania, enough to make it a competitive state.
>>1945363I've done an all Pennsylvania focus game and have never come close enoughI already picked bird and acknowledged my black daughter and it still was not enough, by about 5%
>>1945553This wasn't even with the cheat slider at 100 like in your playthrough, this was from my playthrough on Cakewalk with a multiplier of just 1.25. See that solid blue PA? My dude you are doing something wrong.

>>1951395My bad for incorrectly assuming, then.
>>1950820Gay nazis are kino, but I also love the idea of the POD, and how it could be expanded upon. I can totally envision future mods focusing on all these weirdo local races and how they gradually shift American politics, maybe eventually culminating in a mod focusing on a presidential election where you play as a surprisingly strong weirdo third party.

>>1910439I fucking hate the mods that give you 0.003 for selecting an answer when playing as a historical loser, while giving the historical winner 0.01 against me.What the fuck is even the point of creating a mod where I can't change or even improve upon the historical outcome.
What are your thoughts on The Community Trail scenarios? https://thecommunitytrail.com/
>>1964630>another splinter sitewhen did this happen
>>1964630It's dogshit and as long as CTS and OpenTCT exist I have no intention of using it.
>>1964630I don't say this often but I could've made something better than this shlock
>>1964630It literally only exists for phonefags too lazy to play it on a computer
>>1964696unfortunately everyone has abandoned OpenTCT after the owner had a schizo breakdown
>>1966082QRD?
I think the FNAF one has an interesting concept but did the dev really expect you to play it with the benefit checker?
>>1966082The whole opentct thing shows how unsalvageable the tct community is. Making an alternative to the main community is impossible because the entirecommunity is filled to the brim with spergs. Any attempt at an offshoot will either end up like opentct where the discord king is a total retard or it will just become a repeat of the main community except smaller.
Genuinely baffled that there are people that like Sundance. Literally what is there to like? It has to be the most boring mod on the loader. Dan Bryan scenarios are more interesting.

>>1967854Its hilarious that out of all the threads on /vst/ the barely functioning esl chooses to haunt the one for an english text game about american elections. How does this guy even play the game? Does he throw every question and answer into google translate? Its all so peculiar.

The "dark Scholz" joke path from Germany2021 is in my opinion one of the funniest cases of a mod acknowledging self-sabotage playthroughs. Keep choosing unnecessarily angry-sounding answers and Scholz just loses his shit during the debate, blowing your whole campaign to smithereens.
>>1910439My favorite campaign Idea is 2008 Cheney vs Edwards. Bush can die earlier to Cheney a little bump, and Edward's affair gets exposed to better level the playing field.It's a great bad vs bad campaign, you can even throw in Ron Paul as a powerful 3rd party candidate.
>>1967239>How much of Carter's presidency is based on incompetency and how much of it was just bad luckWay more of the former. Most of what people retroactively complain about Reagan doing began under his term. Volcker being nominated by him and kept by Reagan is an obvious example of this. Carter wasn't the only one responsible for things turning out the way they did. Still, he didn't have the political will to improve the state of the economy or make any tangible improvements that voters could identify with. Those solar panels weren't going on any rooftops beyond The White House. Carter having the hubris to run for a second term in lieu of giving Ted Kennedy a shot was his final coup de grace. As an aside, Brzezinski was just as much of a psycho as Kissinger but doesn't get talked about nearly as much.
>>1970376>giving Ted Kennedy a shotThat drunk fuckup couldn't even tell Roger Mudd WHY he wanted to be president. He didn't deserve a damn thing
