>>2267359Wilson probably has a harder time passing his agenda. Maybe he loses reelection in 1916?
Taft should be able to keep the House by sending $50 tariff rebate checks
How do you guys like the 1912 election mod?>>22650261976 election word ford get's assassinatedCan play Rockefeller, Reagan, or Humphrey.

What makes a great incumbency CYOA mod? Hundreds of questions giving a variety of playthroughs? The ability to be everything from very conservative to very liberal as a candidate? A challenge where everything goes wrong?Being able to win despite whatever happens?Making fun alt-history maps?Lots of opponent combos?
>>2270390replayability

The TTNW dickriding for this award thing is really boring. I don't know why people love this mod so much
>>2273456Half of the people in the subreddit think that Yuppie/Vote pig is the best thing to ever happen to TNO so it's not like they're known for their good taste.
For 1912 Is it possible to possible to play as Taft beat Teddy while facing off Wilson? Also is it even possible to win the primaries as Wilson?
>Labour update for UK reduxThat was interesting, I like how choosing Lexiteer makes you campaign for Leave in the past rather then be neutral and vice versa. It makes sense why they kept May as a Remainer initially, however. I'm interested in the Liberal Democrats but I don't see how they could make that as diverse without replacing Farron. Brexiteer Lib Dems would be hilarious to write, I could see them offering a more traditional "Liberal Party" option rather then Lib Dem which could work with a Soft Brexit position. Personally I prefer leading roles in the cyoa sense, March on Washington was great and I'd like to see that replicated with British history perhaps through the July Crisis of The Great War.>>2266937Genuinely why are people so dramatic when it comes to Roosevelt and Wilson specifically? It is primarily Wilson is Satan and Roosevelt is Jesus but the other way around is just as dumb. How about treating them as historical figures without making retarded youtube drama out of it.
>>2274119Yep.To get Wilson you need to increase tariffs and have Clark sink the Canada dealTo avoid a 3rd party bid by TR you need to win the primary and have 3 relationship points with the progressives.So do everything to endear yourself to the progressives, raise tariffs, then talk with the prime minister of canada, and then win the primary.
>>2274171>It is primarily Wilson is Satan and Roosevelt is Jesus but the other way around is just as dumbI’d say it’s been more the other way around these last few years, in my experience at least. The shift to “Teddy BAD” came about three or four years ago when that statue of TR got removed from the New York Museum of Natural History after protests from Black Lives Matter and other groups, and Woodrow Wilson is too much of a literal who to those groups for them to give a fuck about him. The YouTube video criticizing Woodrow Wilson, which the one ending changes to make about TR, is from six years ago by contrast. >How about treating them as historical figures without making retarded youtube drama out of it.There's more wilson apologia. If TR gets killed by his german assassin, a movie ends up being made about TR that becomes that world’s equivalent of “Birth of a Nation”. The assassin gets retconned to be black in the movie and TR’s image in that timeline ends up becoming a symbol used by the ku klux klan in the 1910's and 20's

>>2276739use the benefit checker to pick all of the best answers and you can win Nevada.
>>2270390I am honestly a big fan of Bob's Macarena since it doesn't have the over the top melodramatic writing so many other CYOAs have.
>>2276739Pick court reform on the first two campaign stops (Nevada leans towards court reform so this helps) and otherwise pick more radical answers. Keeping the reformists happy doesn't matter because their base is in the East. Say that your plan is to win Nevada.

Is anyone else getting tired of incumbency sims? Ttnw and atw were cool but the ones that came after are Shit. Icarus was awful. the whole Greek myth parallel fell flat for me, it wasn’t clever and felt like it was written by a a 6th grader who just read Percy Jackson. The genre doesn’t fell unique anymore just slap some guy who was vaguely close to being president into office and just simulate what happend otl. Doesn’t help there’s a new Cyoa mod announcement every week.
>>2289906>Is anyone else getting tired of incumbency simsThe head guy that made Sundance is known for hating incumbency sims too
>>2289906I wouldn't mind them if they did something unique instead of >in this mod.. you play as a democrat. you're given the choice between becoming a WHOLESOME PROGRESSIVE or EVIL NAZI ESTABLISHMENT CHUD. it's this over and over and over againi just want to play as a republican..
>>2290030There’s going to be one for McCain soon
>>2290034>McCainI want goldwater..
>>2290030That’s exactly my problem with them. hopefully Final Cut (Reagan incumb sim) is good.
>>2290411>hopefully the alzheimers simulator is good Somehow I don’t think that’s what anon was saying he wanted
>>2289906>>2290030At that point why not just exaggerate to the point of absurdity. This is a mock-up Ive had in mind taking place in the OBN timeline where Obama beat Trump in 2012 and then Biden won 2016 (against Trump again of course) causing such extreme fatigue you get this. Anachronistic you bet that's half the point. Won't expand upon it but I've had the idea for a few days now.
>>2291098Post it on the subreddit lol.
GET ON THE FUCKING RAFT
>>2289998Sundance is like the most boring shit ever. So boring that playing it is legit exhausting. In terms of sheer blandness its got to be the worst mod every made. I'd rather play 1000 hours of the latest and greatest reddit incumbencyslop than play that shit again
>>2289906>it wasn’t clever and felt like it was written by a a 6th grader who just read Percy Jackson.This is some shit I said last thread. Stop stealing my posts nigga

>>2265026Make one where Trump get assassinated causing the republicans primaries start up again all in one night. The candidates are Ron, Nikki, JD, Vivek, Elon, and Burgum.
Took 4 years, but it's finally happening. The guy that did 1980 Fordverse, 2000 McCain and 1988 Mondale is making it
Replaying More Than ever and I'm reminded by how much the endings suck. Not even Thompson would write something so biased.
>>2300789Obummer is a dumbass>It was the one time President’s daughter Julie who got the last word though. In an emotional speech, where she often seemed on the verge of tears, the 75 year old told the crowd, “I wish I’d known what my father was going through. I wish I could go back and tell him that it would be alright, that no matter what he or his staff did, we could get through this together. Daddy, wherever you are, I love you.” She continued. “I hope you know I’ll never stop loving you.”We went from that in PWH to “How dare Nixon overshadow the faggot soldier’s suicide with his own suicide” in MTE
>>2300872The most hilarious ending is when you win as Reagan and in the third slide he starts saying "Why doesn't the youth love us? We kill, murder and bomb our opponents but when we do it is good and when the enemy does it is bad" completely unironically without a hint of parody in the ending.
>>2300502Let me guess, the best way to win is doing exactly the opposite of what modern Biden and Trump would do.
the Hope codes got leaked early on discord and its boring af peak incumbency slop. and reddit are basedjaking over it hard lel
>>2301204Any Reform party/Ross perot stuff involved?
>>2301060>"Racial Jungle" Biden vs "Buchanan is a Hitler lover" Trump
>>2301210Circa ‘88 Trump is him taking out the front page ad in the New York Times calling for the Central Park 5 to get the death penalty
>>2301204>Hope codesMind linking them here?
>>2301216Reasonable centrism
>Mr. Vice President, if Barbara Bush was raped and impregnated by Willie Horton, would you favor an abortion for your wife?
>>2301204Is it Clinton dick sucking with Jeffrey barely mentioned?
>>2301233Never understood how he didn't get sack.
>>2301256ur basic incumbency slop got everything from the demo removed copy every other mod that came before it. if u played one mod you played them all at this point>>2301217its a txt file. I can't upload it here or bothered to leak it its out there just go ask around but here's the opponents if you give a shit all as tedious as the last
>>2301348No George Bush comeback?
Talking about Bill, I find it funny that in Slick '88 there is a option to tarnish the credibility of the women he slept with, and not only does the mod not make any snide remarks about but it is also the objectively best thing to do.
>>2301348put it on pastebin pussy
>>2301514go and play any other incumbency mod out already its all the same shit any way
>>2301776I said put it on pastebin bitch
>>2301976u wait a week for the slop like a good wittle boy
I heard mango made one of the Hope people cut themselves cause he shit on the demo when it came out lol
>>2302010this just tells me you don't actually have the codes and are lying bitch
>>2302212sorry can't hear u over my slop, guess u have to wait a week chud lelelelelel
>>2302227you're not a lying bitch but you are a total pussy. are you afraid?
>>2301348>got everything from the demo removedBeyond cosmetic changes, the only real difference seems to be the personal computer got watered down, which of course was the thing I found most appealing about the demo. Did they ever give a stated reason for that change?
>>2302227>Clinton winning by more somehow leads to no 9/11Why do modders always do this?
>>2302265>>Clinton winning by moreOn the contrary, he beat Dole by 20 EVs less in that image than he did in real life.
>>2302242You also can’t pass the Ted Kennedy health bill anymore and other shit making the mod a total chore. they removed it cause mango bullied them out of it
>>2302272What’s the difference between Ted Kennedy’s plan and Hillary’s plan?>they removed it cause mango bullied them out of itDid he bully them into nerfing the personal computer?
>>2302268But why does winning by less cause no 9/11?>>2302272I hope Mango gets an allegation so bad they disappear from the internet.
>>2302293Ted’s plan is single payer, Hillary’s isn’t, though Hillary’s plan is still a significant overhaul of the existing system compared to Obamacare
>>2302300>But why does winning by less cause no 9/11?I don’t think getting that ending has to do with how much you win by. Bill gets a question about his position on defense spending at one point and one of the answers he can choose is to focus on counter terror as a response to the ‘93 WTC bombing
>>2302341Oh I see. That makes sense.
>>2302341I like how the mod creators lack so much imagination the best they can come up with for a no-9/11 ending is "fuck it, make it about some movie"
>>2302300>I hope Mango gets an allegation so bad they disappear from the internet.It’d have to be the proverbial dead girl or live boy
>>2302367>The apex of Mango's career is two mods people misinterpret everyday Deserved.
>>2302367>mango told a troon to an herouh, based?
>>2301348>The Gambler is obviously Trump>No Trump>The Rerun is likely H.W Bush>No H.W BushWhy did they not include them? Why?
>>2302384If it was removed for "not being realistic" then thats retarded because nobody had a problem with Clifford Irving somehow swindling the GOP into running Howard Hughes.
>>2302390No that's because RethugKKKlikans are dumb enough to fall for that.
>>2302384>>The Rerun is likely H.W BushI don’t know if it’s something to do with the pic, but the outline of that hair makes it not look like HW at all to me>why did they not include TrumpI mean I don’t know if this was their reasoning but the early 90’s were a shaky period financially for Trump. Having him run in ‘88 is different from having him run in ‘92
>>2302384because we needed the room for glup shitto, glup shitto and Dick Cheney for like the third fucking time in an incumbency mod
>>2302367Am I supposed to care about this?
>>2302401You cared enough to reply despite not being the intended recipient
>>2302384Rerun doesn't look like Bush it looks like Ford. Either way the idea is retarded.
>>2302300>they
>>2302407>Rerun doesn't look like Bush it looks like Ford.They put him in a old hope teaser so it might have actually been him>Either way the idea is retarded.True but its also hilarious.>Yeah 82 year old Gerald Ford who isnt even socially aligned with the GOP anymore is now the nominee because ughhhh I dont know.
>what-were-they-thinking.gif
>>2302442I have the feeling this mod might be biased.
>>2302384Sonny Bono is a candidate right?Those purple guys are the Reform candidates right?
1860 Breckinridge is fun. Its an interesting exploration of the antiquated quirks of older American elections, without being too masturbatory and in your face about its unique mechanics. It also manages to be very gameplay focused without falling headfirst into Dan Bryan's type of bland writing. I wish there were more mods like this. I feel like every new mod ends up being some W. rip off multi opponent stuck in development hell extravaganza or a easily forgettable "Bryanesque" low effort affair.
For me, it's 1920b and 1924b. The only good incumbency sims.
surprised nobody has posted the codes yet so here, you were able to literally google these codes for the longest time until recently lmaohttps://privatebin.net/?b8de5eddd3be5208#7sHwMzhRQWbYibiPD2pCEYSd1GAtHz58mtEFav3WtnaChttps://privatebin.net/?28031b6e62fe2335#7JBUzdYPTk2wVSU9i1qThGaGJoPP7qa4Ryy7BHd5m1pU
>>2303156This is supposed to release in like a week? lol
>>2303186its so shitty, all these incumbency mods gas everyone up and drop total mid everytime. people crap on mango but at least he makes mods worth waiting for
>>2273456>>2303195the duality of anon
HOPE, just like Bill, is a mod that stands for nothing to say nothing.
>>2303156I've never seen a mod glaze the player so hard before, holy fuck
>>2303156CYOA Bill Clinton mod>you're forced to sign nafta no matter whatwhat the fuck is even the point then
>>2303452>glazing a pedophileLmao>>2303486>Can't even veto nafta despite that being a gigantic deal and would be an interesting piece of alternate historyHow fast will this mod be forgotten?Faster than icarus?
>>2303648Icarus at least engaged me for a playthrough or two with its dumbass gimmick I can’t get through one game of Hope without falling asleep, the writing is garbage
>Some people are remastering Vice and calling it Bruce>Instantly gets removed despite having no connections to the OG dev>Half the sub acts like Vice has terrible writting despite being the exact same as every other incumbency sim
>>2303942I don't get why this and Razijistoria get always removed on the reddit. The devs aren't around anymore, and it's not like they removed the RED mods when Tom was exposed.
>>2303957Stated reason is Tom wasn’t grooming kids while the other two were
>>2303957>Razijistoria Its funny that got completely memory holed because it was such a huge mod. You think some people would have remembered it, especially since I still see Tom talked about like hes the devil but the tankie serb transvestite who liked to dress up like a nazi never rings any bells.
>>2303974People remember it, it's just that astro removes every post mentioning it.
>>2303962Can't feel bad after seeing Galen lose it in a previous thread.
>>2303942kek
>>2303962How these types of people even get into political games? Why do they hate freedom and the American Way? Are they bloody commies or somethin?>>2304166Hehe
>>2304218>Are they bloody commies Razistorija was made by a marxist serb yes
Razistorjia and Vice. are both top tier mods.

Children of Dusk 2080 is mostly finished. Here are the codes. LMK what you think.https://github.com/DarkErminia/Children-of-Dusk-2080Merry Christmas!
Little big man has possible one of the worst and nonsensical playlists of any mod. Give the mod an Obamanation without cynicism/10.
>>2307347*satire
>>2307347I HATE FEEL GOOD SLOP I HATE FEEL GOOD SLOP
HOPE is out and the map looks horrible.
>>2307347>>2307820never ending bitching
>>2307347>Little big manIt's a nice bryan-style mod.
>>2307820They give you the option of changing the map at the beginning of the game. Also I’m glad those leaked codes weren’t the finished product. It’s better now
>one of the hope modders has a Rance pfp lel
It’s impressive how HOPE is somehow worse than its original demo.
https://www.opencampaigntrail.com/tct/campaign-trail/index.html?modName=Children%20of%20Dusk%202080 Children of Dusk 2080 is now available on OTCT
>>2308722ebin
>>2308722It doesn't work yet, redirects to Biden/Bass 2020.
Can you send an image inspect element > console so I can diagnose the problem?
I just managed to fix it. I screwed up one of the file names. Clear your cache and see if it works now.
More news from OTCT:Razistorjia and Weimar 1930 have both been added, on top of the CoD2080 already added today. Cheers!
>>2309018Is it possible for the variable tooltip to be added too?
>>2309018Seems unethical, the creator of Weimar 1930 explicitly didn't want their mod on the site. I'd be surprised if the communists who made Razistorija want theirs on it too.
>>2257460Got the good ending, it was also the most interesting one, but I had to cheat to see if it was possible.There better be an achievement for doing this legit.
>>2309018based>>2309681ethics in modding are for faggots
The US of A if it was cool. not from The Campaign Trail, Oppressive games Power, look it up.
How are you guys feeling about the hope mod?
>>2310730I’m quite satisfied with it. Hilarious that mango is trying to start up the ai rumor mill around it now
>>2310733What's your favorite part and least favorite part of the mod?
>>2310740>favorite partThe Weld and Powell paths>least favorite partI already touched on it earlier but I didn’t like how the computer feature got nerfed compared to the state it was in when the demo released however many months ago. I thought it’s original state had the potential to be something special
>>2310748nta, but i haven't kept up with hope's development so what was the PC tab thing like?
>>2310750If your referring to the my personal computer it does it's job wish you can make it bigger though.
>>2310750You can take a look at it yourself if you want, the demo codes still workhttps://www.reddit.com/r/thecampaigntrail/comments/1iew95i/hope_demo_out_now/It was bigger, more expansive. It had an actual browser, I remember seeing a bunch of people show you could play other TCT mods within the browser. It had minesweeper too and you were going to be able to see real time butterfly effects that your decisions had on entertainment and pop culture https://www.reddit.com/r/thecampaigntrail/comments/1kdioyc/hope_teaser/
Moonbeam is coming on Jan 6, I have literally not seen any posts about that but the trailer seems cool. Expectations aren't that high but it will probably be fun.
>>2310791>Jan 6Sorry, Jan 5.
>>2310730Good mod attacked by the Mango clique for not sharing their pretentious outlook on mod writing and taking a realistic approach to politics.
>>2310795>Hope comes out /TCT/ calls it garbage>Mango apparently doesn't like Hope>Suddenly it's a great mod
>>2310808My opinions aren't /TCT/'s, obviously. I'm sorry you get your opinions from community consensus in a 4chan thread.
>>2310795its dogshit, lowest common denominator slop meant to win over reddit. stop excusing trash cause mango doesn't like it
>>2310844From the leaks I thought I wouldn't like it, and was pleasantly surprised by the diversity of play styles and natural consequences for your decisions. It's fun, though I'm a liberal so obviously I don't care about its politics.
>>2310795My main gripe is the computer. It showed a lot of promise in the demo but got gutted for some unknown reason. they could have at least made it possible to go full screen.
>>2310850>>2310854>the diversity of play styles and natural consequences for your decisionsthats every mod from this game you retard. the endings probably are ai garbage or the team recruited from their sped class to make them because they are fucking terrible.
>>2310860No? The #2 most popular mod requires you to lose Vietnam to win it. Often your decisions are graded less off their logical consequences and more by whether or not the writer agrees with them. Not really sure why you're so hateful.
>>2310862>The #2 most popular mod requires you to lose Vietnam to win itgee, idk, maybe cause that was an unwinnable war by that point or something and thatd be fucking stupid otherwise. I can't even back out of NAFTA in hope and you want to seriously get into the shit over it being a godsend for "diversity of playstyle". no wonder mango always retreats back to this community after he flops with new order/yippee all the time, its playerbase are this stupid
>>2310872Funny that the 4chan chud is repeating 1960s liberal myths on the war. If the war was ever winnable it wasn't by 1969, America had an enormous victory with repelling the Tet Offensive. And yeah, Hope lets you play Clinton's presidency in a variety of believable (not pulling out of NAFTA when Clinton campaigned on it) ways from basically a Republican to progressive. That's good, par for the course for an in-depth incumbency sim but maintaining logical coherence and not beating you over the head with a political message while doing it is what sticks out for me.
>>2310877*unwinnableWhether rural Vietnam would have ever accepted a South Vietnamese state that they saw as a French imperial successor is obviously another question. But one that goes back to the 1950s, not "that point."
>>2310877>not pulling out of NAFTA when Clinton campaigned on itso being able to back out of NAFTA, something he was perfectly able to do, is a bridge too far but not winning Vietnam in the 70s which was thought unfeasible by everyone is where you wanna go mald? buddy even Nixon knew it was over you cannot be this retarded>the 4chan chud is repeating 1960s liberal mythsnigga we're both on 4chan right now inhale some oxygen
>>2310887Actually it's worse than not winning Vietnam, in TTNW you do win Vietnam by pulling all funding from the war. What is logic?
>>2310730It's a perfectly mediocre mod. It doesn't stand for anything, just like Bill Clinton and the Democratic party he started. It's also a full Neo-liberal wank mod since Nato wins WW3 somehow lol.
Is the Church mod from Mango and his clique going to be another "Omg you totally suck why can't you be an Hippie lover like Mcgovern" mod?
Anyone here play CoD2080? Curious if you guys liked it.
>>2310860>the endings probably are ai garbagesup mango
>>2311018i think its a great mod ngl, abit edgy but overall a very fun experience
>>2310986One of the guys making it is a big Frank Church fanboy so I doubt it, which is a little weird since Church was pretty pro-life and anti-gun control but I guess being a dove and calling out the NSA overpowers that.
>>2311259I'm mostly saying it because the image used in the announcement seems to be made to mock him.
>>2311259>which is a little weird since Church was pretty pro-life and anti-gun controlThey’ll find little ways to snipe at him, just like that random palestinian kid they shoved into the “happy” ending Bobby gets where he dies in a plane crash. As if him literally dying in real life as a consequence of his support for Israel wasn’t punishment enough for him
>>2310930>since Nato wins WW3 somehow lol.The 3 year long 1 week special military operation
>>2311345But that's 2022 Russia, here we're talking about a Russia immediately after the fall of the Soviet Union.
>>2311470It would be even more of a curb stomp
I've been playing this for about four years now and in that time have seen at least five mods get cancelled because they lost the only copy of the code in existence.There was one who kept it on a flash drive and had to cancel it because he lost the flash drive.
>>2312088That whole thing sounds like some kind of a discord prank. Very gay btw, and a humiliation ritual for Gardfeld whether it was real or not. Midnight '68 never ever.
>>2312131Definitely some inside joke shit, mango was asking to talk to him when the mod was announced yesterday
>Good For Me had it's one millionth update>Added a full Nixon chud campaign The most based writing always comes from people who obviously disagree with what they're writing.
>>2312088gardfeld - relative of grifter extraordinaire cucker tarlson, normie con fag in maryland of all places & trotted out just to deliver biyearly practical jokes by astro and co. after they had bullied him out of the club for saying ronald reagan wasn't satan and aids wasn't his fault. so yeah, humiliation fetish, strand of his cuckservative dna in action
>>2312335>bullied him out of the club for saying ronald reagan wasn't satanIs that what happened to the “Time For Choosing” guy? He didn’t seem to get nearly the shit that gardfeld did
>>2312335Or maybe he also finds this funny?
>>2312351nta but I imagine he’ll find anything “funny” if it means he won’t get hounded and harassed anymore
>>2257460Hope makes me wish for a Pat Choate presidential simulator mod.
Which mod you are convinced that is unbeatable? I'll start with Michael Bloomberg mod.
>>2312805Rocky 64even with a perfect set you fall just short of victory, which is weird cause canonically Rockefeller is supposed to win
>>2312831Even the guy who made that mod admitted that he did a piss poor job with both the gameplay and the writing.
happy new years!!! :)
>>2312930Thanks Anon.
