>>2468146I haven’t been following the game since the hope team drama. What happened? Why is the game dead
>>2468152So a basic rundown is nobody is making mods anymore and the people who run the community don’t put much effort into promoting the ones that are made, which isn’t much anyway. The community Discord also got nuked because of some unrelated drama and when the new one has a fraction of the members the old one used to. There’s been no major mods released in months, there was a 1972 DNC mod that dropped earlier this month but it sucked and the community hated it because it used AI (a lot of mods have been using AI for their writing recently like American Century). Mango (TNO dev) has more or less abandoned the game in favor of Yippie development, and of course other developers like the Hope team have been blacklisted or driven out because the modding scene is generally pretty toxic environment and cliquey.
>>2468146Still no big Reform 2000 mod, which is crazy considering how popular anything similar to it is.
>>2468210It wasn't a big mod but I liked the Trump 2000 mod that some autist from here made a while back.
>>2468152Thankfully its dead, the TCT threads here were just pol-lite
it was always a trash "game" that reached its peak being used in a slavic art project. thinking this was a perennial format for althistory / political storytelling was ridiculous and i doubt anyone really thought that. dying now would be natural.
I don't think it's dying but it's true that it's at a low point. The banning of Razistorija probably pushed away people from exploring their stories in a similar way.
>>2468372I made that in hopes it would cause more competent people to make a proper Reform 2000 mod.So far its been a year and I've seen nothing but concepts.
the Icarus mod makes me want to vomit it’s genetically engineered to make every Ukraine-Taiwan-NATO account on X cum uncontrollably.Sickening
>pass unruh's fap bill>win vietnam>win 50 state landslide against the republiKKKan party and usure in a century of one party rule>oh whoops you swapped the glup shitto vp for the other glup shitto vp so fuck you here's an ending of rfk crying like a little bitch about how big a fucking failure he isGreat writing, bravo Quo.
>>2469460Erm you actually appealed to the dixiecrats so you're literally a failure okay Sighhhh if only u supported Palestine and every single pet issue of mine...
New ROC mod feels AI written. >>2468177They didn't even bother updating the discord links anywhere. I don't know what they expected. No one can even join the server.
>>2469658I liked it...
>>2469690that troon stole the credit for the original 1984 mod’s hilarious advisor feedbacks when they ripped it off wholesale for their redux and that was an abysmal redux too
>>2469658I don't think it's AI written but it may be AI translated. I recall the creator's earlier Taiwan mods are genuinely hard to read and understand due to not being a native English speaker. At some point, his mod's writing all magically improved. That could explain it.>>2469703He's a good modder and talented coder. Too bad he doesn't get much attention for it. I also want the creator of the Korea mods to make more stuff.
I’m not a fan of the Asia mods they try too hard to be their American counterparts (Y of Korea is just American Carnage/every other CYOA incumbency mod, granted it’s better than Infinite Carnage ig and the ROC ones are just stealing every asset available from StrawberryMaster’s work) what made stuff like the Dutch and German mods good was they were their own unique thing that better represented their countries’ political systems
this game is shit and played by morons, enjoy my artpiece
>>2469850I only play the ROC mods as the third party candidates
Thoughts on that new White Whale Perot mod? Not sure about it though it seems better than the Ross For Boss mod a little bit.
>>2470290Perot/Reform mods are always appreciatedthough I would prefer a Reform 2000/1996/Perot Presidency simulator over a possibly bigger Perot 1992 mod
>>2470290>thoughts on generic slop that does nothing new?What you think anon
>>2468177What happened to the old discord anyways?
>>2470486Decstar, the guy who ran it, got into it with Astro’s “wife” about I think how they got assaulted in their past and Decstar said something that people took to be rape apologia and he crashed out and nuked the server
Pretty sick of cyoa, recommend me some kino scenarios without it
What mods are you both fear and looking forward to? Also, if you could make a mod what would it be about and why?
What happened to the Kucinich mod? I think it got removed a day or two ago
>>2471029I think the author had it removed because there were a lot of writing mistakes and it generally wasn't really well made.
>>24706971864 maybe?
>>2470697The 1980 scenario on thecampaigntrail.net is very good. I'm surprised it took so long for that election to get a mod.
>>2475572>tfw unironically shilling for the W team libshit offshoot site
>>2475963Who are you quoting?
>>2475572>I'm surprised it took so long for that election to get a mod.Fuck are you talking about?
From what I can tell it's the full gamehttps://github.com/yugaaoyama/Madam-President-2026-Repository
bwahahahahahahaha hope team won
>>2478888>>2478912the absolute state of mackarony
>>2478912The first option should be there but unable to be taken because Hillary would never do it.
>>2478888Holy fucking quads. Cheers anonBut yeah I agree Mango has single-handedly ruined this game and he can eat a dick that I agree, community used to pride itself on fun and diversity of thought at one point istfg and that asshole turned it into his cult of personality drove everyone that didn’t kiss his ass out and now can’t even be fucked to mod for it anymore lol. Hope Yippie crashes and burns as we all expect it to
>Ohas playing the victim and making a whole ass sob story essay post after Ronnie called him out during the Hope "scandal"Lmao just burn the whole community to the ground
ohas is an annoying, talentless fat slob. i would give my left nut for him to quit the community for good.
>>2479329>leaking the project 2024 codes would “cause too much stress”What a faggot
>I am disabled, I am trans, and I am a conservativeEveryone in this community needs to be put against a wall and shot at dawn.
JSID
Community has definitely shrunken significantly, a lot of the most hyped up releases this year are barely cracking 20,000 plays.
>>2479448Zoomer neocon.
Dang, there really was more of Madame President done than I expected. Not sure why they couldn't just finish it up; it didn't seem unsalvageable.Does anyone know who all the candidates are or were supposed to be? It seems Hogan/Huntsman and there's Ted Cruz?
>>2480296bro read the room nobody here gives a shit about this game it’s the lolcow of /vst/ next to /tno/ (makes you wonder what the connection between them is doesn’t it)
>>2480322Why are you in this thread?
>>2480553So he can keep obsessing over a minuscule internet community that he was probably banned from at some point
Oh they finally added 1972 DNC to Showcase, nice.
Almost all of the new mods seem AI written. There's a few new ones on CTS that are obviously AI written, the Reagan one is especially obvious because the answers are very plainly written and read very little like how Reagan talked.>>2480254Well, yeah. A lot of mod creators were driven out altogether. Then the change of discord server, not bothering to even maintain the invite link for the new server so its long expired, and a bunch of other stupid goings-on.. Long-term it's a dead community and dead site. Similar to the fate of TNO under the same clique.
the people in the community that suck and are destructive are the people who hate hope the most??
The truth of why Project 2024 has taken so long to come out is that there’s a sort of schism in the W. team because some of them can’t help but be a tiny little bit generous to Kamala (such as Neo, who has a well-documented fetish for black women) while the others see her as basically akin to Hitler (our buddy Ettingermentum has atoned for his dogshit election predictions by shitting on her as much as possible), leading to a stalled mod which is a far cry away from a workable product.
>>2482371Quid should also stop being so mindbroken by Nixon.
>>2482109>>2482380Trying way too hard
>>2482326can we not equate being against the community’s leadership and having to like fucking hope? hope is dogshit, I also think the people who run this community are talentless losers who killed the game by driving everyone out including the team who made it, but hope is engineered to appeal to the braindead redditors who play this that just want a power fantasy about being an uber successful democrat president so they can post their gay presidents lists all the time, it’s total slop and it’s the worst mod easy, their update will be more slop since the retard who made the George Wallace governor mod where he can become a fucking progressive civil rights champion is leading it
>>2469690yeah that’s the worst mod of the year and it’ll take all the awards because nothing else came out and also the mods are buddies with creator lmao.
>>2483269shes hot though (probably the only good thing about her)
>>2483269>got rid of the black wig and switched to this circus clown shitbro isn’t even trying anymore
>>2483469>”her”>”hot”Another victim of Martha and Lurker.
What's new, lmao>>2483269sexy
>>2483269Would.
>>2483269can't wait until your shitty game finally dies so I don't have to look at this every time I come on the board anymore
>>2483269did Agreeable post this?
anyone have a collection of links to discord server splinters
>>2484796Nope.
>>2484796my buddy shock is in this server with the hope team. heard they're pretty funny. especially cuz they kept doxxing this one pedo
>3 days since last replyHoly shit this community imploded. SAD!
>>2490197no but the Israeli doxxing ring that is the hope team is coming up with even shittier mod ideas. next up: hope 64 (dogs hit) too close to call (wtf??) and now this new fuckass "1948 dawn" lolololool hopefully they all get murdered like KWAB
Why is every hyper-political person, regardless of ideology, always a tranny or a homo?
>>2490884Kek what does the Hope team have to do with this shittier red knockoff 1948 Dawn
>>2491315not that schizo but I am assuming the same people are working on both, when the hope team got purged they were replaced by the most retarded, talentless losers the community has to offer for the new update they’re making so I figure they would cross pollinate with other trashy stuff like that
>>2483787Not.
>>2491321>the hope team got purgedIt was only like two people with actual team roles and one of them actually just changed his account name and has released an unrelated mod in the time since then lol
SNCA
>>2491422bro that group chat post was so funny because what do you mean some dumb cunts got banned for 1/20th the retardation of the subreddit
Kucinich mod and a Brazil mod just released. Thoughts on them?
>>2493100Tried the brazil mod, it's very obviously AI-written because of the sheer amount of "sentence with a dry snark" everywhere
>cries about AI mod ruining the game and says we need restrictions on all future mods in case they used AI>said AI mod is still better than all the boring ahh shovelware slop he’s ever made for it (Sundance and Powell 96)Just what we need, more restrictions on potential mods for this dead as shit game so we get even less mods. Hopefully it’ll kill the game for good.
>>2493286The idea of being able to accurately detect AI especially as time goes on and the technology improves is cope bullshit, and the community will eventually revolt against it when a mod that’s really good that was obviously helped by AI use comes out and they’ll suddenly shrug their shoulders and stop enforcing any dumbass rule like that. If they actively start removing mods they suspect to have been built or written by AI it’ll only impact mods made by people Astro/Mango don’t like, because every mod that has been removed in the past has only been removed because of behind the scenes drama and this would be no different, the guy who wrote that post is probably butthurt AI is capable of making better shit than him and its hurting his ego just read his post and how he talks about this game as if it’s prestigious and not a browser game played by teenage autists as if he’s trying to justify all the time he’s poured into the game to himself.
a bunch of losers that think they are hot shit for making trumped up online questionnaires suffering ego death when a budget ai slop generator replicates their work to a T at 10x the speed IJBOL
>>2493286I see he’s finally found a new crusade after his old screeds against incumbency simulators were rejected by the community
>>2493345still waiting on a Ross Perot incumbency simulator, I want to have an infinite amount of different 3 way (and maybe one two way) races
>>2493517the white whale 2: the brown noise, even shittier
https://www.reddit.com/r/thecampaigntrail/comments/1wp2rxj/tct_mentioned/>Vic 3 devs take inspiration from trash like MTE for updates>updates are complete shitkek
>>2494461Isn't that because of the Turkish negatively reviewing everything Paradox made?
>>2494488Vic 3 has been a busted pile of shit since launch the hatred of it has nothing to do with whatever gay Discord drama you are waffling about

>>2495308Why are tcters so arrogant?
>>2495753Uhhh, wrong board?
>>2479329Mango, sure, but also Astro. Dude legitimately sucks Palestinian penis even tho if his wife walked in for 0.0001 second she'd be stoned and slaughtered.
does anyone have chat logs of the old discord server?
>>2496761looking for anything in particular?
>>2496946if you somehow have the whole server that would be perfect but just general would still be great
>>2496946if you do have the logs it'd be interesting to see general on election night 2024
