Amplify Presents The Civil War

[wdcbooks]

George McClellan - Counts 11 wolves to 10 villagers and concedes the game on day one.

Really someone should run this game.

My co-workers are looking at me funny because I can't stop laughing.

I missed you, Amp. In a totally non-homosexual way.

[Spook]

Shouldn't the slaves votes count as .6?
And, then after the emancipation proclamation, then they can count for zero?

[FCBLComish]

Slaves count as 3/5. Read your constitution.

I would love to play this. It seems like a great game.

[Fishmonger]

Oh, this opens up a can of worms.

North and south should each have supply lines which can be disrupted by rand(). The north can run out of cotton, and be unable to get dressed, and therefore cannot meet to decide who to night kill. The south can run out of, what, steel? and be unable to build a telegraph to send in their kill, even though they can meet.

Walt Whitman wins with the Union, but can only post in blank verse, sounding his barbaric yawp across the rooftops.

The entire game could begin with a huge auction, during which different states would be wooed into secession or conciliated into solidarity. This could result in a confederacy consisting of Ohio, Arkansas and Vermont, but that's the chance you take.

3/5 is equivalent to .6, read your math books.

(I assume you were referring to me....)

Random note: the 3/5 rule was actually ANTI-slavery, not PRO-slavery, since it DIMINISHED the political benefit the slavers got from slavery in the Congress and the Electoral College.

[Spook]

umm, it was pro-slavery because it made a 'nonperson' count towards Congress and tax distribution.
That is why it is called the three fifths compromise.
Slave owners had a higher tax burden, but also a greater say in Congress.
