Literally all I ever get told about this game is that Mango is a fag and that there's tons of drama and backstabbing in the community. Should I keep avoiding it?
>>2006688A lot of the community is made up of teenagers on reddit who honestly are inoffensive enough (for the most part) to keep from politisperging out of their sheer autistic fascination with electoral history. Where most of the drama spawns from is a top clique of modders (who are also the ones involved with reworking TNO America, which is where I assume you heard of this from) who act like they're God's gift to Earth looking down on the unenlightened plebs, cracking down on wrongthink and gatekeeping which mods get listed on the website.

now its come out that apparently the person writing a lot of the mod was a minor, and apparently theres some kind of sexual explict stuff (?) in the mod so therefore they had a minor write..

>>2009742>>2009743The problem is that there's no way to verified if people were honest or not.
>>2009750Yeah, I guess so. It's still worrying though. It's unfortunate that in this case the need to ensure mods are all entirely SFW due to this kind of thing has killed a relatively well made mod.
The standards on this seem a bit bizarre. Critical mentions of pedophilia aren't allowed but committing murder and being pro-drugs is?
>>2009787Americans think pedophilia is worse than murdering innocent people.
>>2009808Why can't they be consistent and publically agree with both? One thing the mod got right is that all American politicians are mass murdering pederasts.

>>2011414Lol this is like, the worst exposรฉ ever. So many words and pictures but there is zero proof that any wrongdoing took place. The pics at the bottom show that this person had contact with the mod creator, but none of them show any of the "grooming" that is being alleged. The only picture that does is supposedly the mod creator's (deleted) alt account, who conveniently blubbers on in no uncertain terms about being a groomer. Honestly I wouldn't doubt that its all true, because everyone involved in this story is obviously a mentally disturbed retard, but holy shit is this the dumbest way to try to expose someone. Seriously, how does this person have quotes of what the mod maker sent them, but not screenshots? Still, this will certainly be enough to get the mod creator exiled, just when they were trying to negotiate with Astro to get back on the loader lol.

>>2012363Yeah, you just ctrl+A code 1 and code 2 and put it in the code boxes like it says. Not sure what could be going wrong on your end, I'm afraid. It loads fine for me.

I really don't know much about Yugoslav history so this was more of a strange glimpse into a parallel universe than anything. Also the writing felt very Disco though maybe that's just because it's coming from a similar cursed irrelevant country eastern euro failed marxist mindset

>>2012466The devs were definitely influenced by Disco, and there's even an excerpt from Sacred and Terrible Air in one of the ending slides, but the reason why this mod succeeds where basically everything else Disco-adjacent fails is that as you gathered, it shares the same DNA. It comes from the same place - the minds of depressed, alienated marxists forced to live in a world that was murdered before they were born. It's not just mindlessly aping the sadcore east euro aesthetic; it's a window into the creators' souls. The world is dead, and no matter how much we want to try we can't save it. But we can love, and maybe that's enough.

I don't care about the sex lives of terminally online communists and I don't care who's grooming who. I just want to play video games.
>>2012808how do you get this?
>>2013549campaign trail isn't a game it's a barbie doll house with politicians.
>>2013574How exactly did you came to that conclusion?
>>2013599the obamanation ending where obamna and hillary have sex
>>2013599The W. ending where "God" abandons Bush
>>2013574Are you just parroting Mango's retarded rambling or are you the man himself? Either way you're a nigger. Get out of my thread.
>>2013570You have to be Yugoslavist/pro-minority and take every single pro-NATO/pro-EU answer. The opposition will split. Keep being as pro-NATO as possible, and in the debates you will have the option to promise to join NATO and the EU. Take that option, then you just need to win what follows and you'll get this ending.
>>2013693This is one of the rare points where M*ngo and I agree: by and large, Campaign Trail mods are made either to shill for politicians or ideologies (Viva Kennedy, Red-Verse) or to denigrate them (W, American Carnage). They often portray characters acting outrageously out of character for the sake of plot convenience, entertainment, or some narrative themeโthink H.W. Bush behaving like Logan Roy.
Itโs not inherently bad. Swan Song, for instance, was obviously pro-Trump/Vance, but it effectively highlighted the various contradictions within his coalition: Musk and Vivek supporting H1B visas, the populist-versus-technocrat split on tariffs, the toxicity of the abortion abolitionist movement, and so on and so forth.
>>2013782>think H.W. Bush behaving like Logan RoyThis alone made W such a terrible mod. Even from the point of view of W as being written by the most partisan anti-Bush 00s liberal, the caricature makes no sense
>>2013840>most partisan anti-Bush 00s liberalExcept they stated it's not supposed to be that, it's just that the Mango/QPQ/Ettinger/Ebolaman/etc's combined neuroses make it look like so.
>>2013843>they stated it's not supposed to be thatNot the anon you were talking to, but they were repeatedly inconsistent about what the mod was supposed to be. The original announcement post for W. framed the mod as satirical in nature. The post said the mod would be through the lens of a biased 2006 resist lib editorialist. They later flip flopped back and forth between whether the depictions shown in the mod were meant to be taken literally or as satire, to the point where they went back and deleted some older comments on the reddit because they knew it was making them look inconsistent. They did the same shit when 2024 Regime Change was getting slammed by the community
>>2013900to be it's clear that certain devs (such as QPQ) take the mod seriously while others think it's more satire and meant for comedic relief. this would explain why most of the mod is full of half jokes and exxagerations while the endings and starts are serious and stupid
>>2013535I read this document and honestly they sound completely reasonable. I think it's very plausible that it was just a bad breakup or something along those lines. I don't have access to everything the rest of the team has obviously been talking about behind the scenes to come to this conclusion though. Maybe there's a hidden smoking gun or maybe they've just been forced into doing this by the sheer weight of backlash. Either way it's a sad situation and it's especially sad that Razistorija will probably get buried and forgotten now when it's probably the best mod ever made.
Speaking of grooming and teenagers, could it translate well into Campaign Trail scenario?
>>2013535the word grooming has been so overused to the point where 2 minors doing weird romantic shit online is grooming cause one was older absolutely retarded

Also wasn't a fan of the writing quality, just kind of hard to figure out who the mod is even for in general. I went a pretty bog-standard populist route while placating other factions and won handily despite China's economy completely collapsing after not reaching a deal with them.

All The Way is so bad. The only feeling I had when playing was sheer exhaustion, and not in a "omg I feel just like LBJ! Being president is so hard!" way either. Between the esl writing, the terrible CYOA mechanics, and the sheer amount of fucking questions I just wanted the mod to be over. I didn't even bother reading the ending I got.
LBJ used his dirty tricks to shut down 4chan by the way.
>>2019552Anyone have a fix?
>>2019572I never understood how is he allowed run again. Let alone understood the logic of those alternate presidents.
>>2019572The non Johnson candidates are more fun.
>>2019892Because he only served 1 year as President, after Kennedy was assassinated, before the election in 1964. Constitutionally this meant he could still run for a second term.
Irl he did this but dropped out after several bruising primaries iirc that kind of made his position untenable, even if the way nominations worked still largely rested on delegates instead of primaries. He then had Humphrey run and probably intended to influence things from behind the scenes.

>>2006175 (OP)I am making the Trump 2000 mod, I've written up most of the questions, responses and feedback, though I will do some rewriting.
I have also completed the code one and can start to properly work on the mod. I will probably release a small demo made up of 5 questions soon...maybe. I am working on the starting margins and am wondering if I should have Trump start out in a better position (due to Trump being a new candidate and Venturaโs win) or worse position (due to Reformโs growing staleness and Nader's campaign) than Perot in 1996, what should I do?
>>2034488Definitely the former. Even in 2000 a Trump who's new to politics would be a stronger candidate than Perot. Good luck on your writing btw.
>>2032709this is about TCT
>>2034488Update: Why is the map like this?

>>2034862Yes, I want the player to be able to deadlock the election, even if they don't get the highest possible popular vote amount for Trump.

>>2006175 (OP)I went with Gargan as VP
I don't know to add in questions for the different VP's, so it might just be him,
Should I go with someone else? Not picking Oprah or Ventura though.
>>2035003Fuck it, make Roger Stone his running mate
>>2035025And? Just have him pull double duty. That's what the other guy was doing. Sure as shit beats fucking gargan
>>2035031Would Stone even want to be a VP candidate of Reform?
Maybe I should switch his advisor picture, to Barkley, it would make more sense given how I wrote the feedback.
Maybe someday I'll write a Stonecut version of the mod.
>>2035037Why the fuck would you switch to Barkley when Stone was literally his campaign manager in 2000
>>2035039Because Barkley was Ventura's campaign manager.
And most of the script was not written with Stone in mind as the speaker, but if it doesn't matter I'll just keep his image, its not like it matters that much
>>2035037>Would Stone even want to be a VP candidate of Reform?Trump would never pick Jack Gargan for VP so youโve already sacrificed realism. Thatโs why I said fuck it. Just go full cartoon world at that point with Stone shenanigans
>>2035047Who should I pick instead?
I don't know enough about Roger stone to write for him. And I don't know how to code in Questions that change depending on the VP's anyway.
>>2035049Well you already said you werenโt going to do Jesse Ventura and youโre apparently unwilling to do the research that goes into writing for someone so I guess youโre fucked
>>2035051Maybe in the remake in the path where Trump loses the nomination and decides to run anyway.
That's where I'd put Qanon, Trump getting arrested, and everything else that I would like to do but can't as that is too much effort for a first mod.
>>2035054Jesse refused to take the nomination so I'd doubt he'd want to be the VP.
I'd have to write the mod around Stone if I picked him, and I'm not going to do that.
But none of this matters anyway cause one, it's my mod, make your own if you don't like it cause the only reason why I'm doing this is that it hadn't been made yet, and lastly this is my first mod, I am learning as I go so that if I want to I can make better ones in the future.
>>2035055>That's where I'd put QanonI don't know how that would work, I think a better option would be Michael Flynn who literally pledged an oath to Qanon.
>>2035061Just imagine a 2000's version of Qanon.
I am curious to how would Flynn be used. It would be 2000, he would only be a brigadier general.
>>2035067>Just imagine a 2000's version of Qanon.Qanon seems like something that could only exist in a post 9/11 conspiratorial world,
I'm not sure Watergate or the Iran-Contra affair would have been enough, also would the internet be big enough to cause a Qanon level stir?
>>2033700I thought All The Way was fantastic. Best soundtrack of any mod as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12dh4XL9RkI
>>2035091QAnon in particular really couldn't exist before social media. Though there was already a great deal of conspiratorial thinking in the popular American consciousness that started after the assassinations of the 60s and continued into the 90s. In hindsight, it's incredible that pic related and Oliver Stone's JFK were both mainstream movies.
>A frequently levied criticism against your selection as D66's party leader is that it is just a stunt. You are not a politician, you are a scientist-celebrity. Are you importing the silly American celebrity-politics to the Netherlands?
It's so funny how you can just answer this question with a blunt "yes".
>>2035269>Though there was already a great deal of conspiratorial thinking in the popular American consciousness that started after the assassinations of the 60s and continued into the 90sdefinitely, iirc basically all of the conspiracies in Deus Ex were based on popular conspiracy theories in the 90s. The idea was "what if all of them were actually true", which is sort of what Qanon ended up doing IRL as well, creating a grand unified theory of conspiracy no matter how retarded and incohesive it naturally ended up being.

>>2036539Thatchmaster said it was something he didn't come up with until he'd finished the rest of the mod first. The Code 2 is huge, but if you go through it, there are a lot of cases where there doesn't seem to be a particular logic. It's just making things as varied as possible for all the different paths you can take, choices you can make and variables to be accounted for. You can only get Clint Eastwood for instance if Wallace deadlocks the election and LBJ wins the contingent election. There's no other rhyme or reason behind it. A few of them do have obvious correlations. Win big enough as RFK and his friend Moynihan succeeds him as President. Win big enough with any Dem against either Nixon-Fong or Nixon-Lindsay and the Republicans will be replaced with the Conservative Party.
I keep getting my ass handed to me trying to win as chungus great society LBJ, help
Here is the code for 2000T Demo
https://github.com/Mr-Khan111/2000T-Demo.git
I need criticism regarding "issue" questions and if I am doing them right, my writing, and anything else, as well as how I can improve these issues. So feel free to cheat and look at what each answer does and says.
>>2037006The questions and answers are good but the feedback is a little strange, sometimes it sounds like it's coming from Trump, other times from a regular advisor, also I think it should give you more advice on the national mood so you can pick a better answer next time because right now some of them are a little vague.
>>2037006I like the general thrust of your writing quite a bit, but in my opinion you're using too many commas and your sentences look clunky as a result.
For example:
>We may not win this November, but that doesnโt mean further building Americaโs third party isnโt important, several states donโt even have us as an official party, we have to rectify that by the end of this election.I think it would look better if you split this into two sentences and instead wrote:
>We may not win this November, but that doesnโt mean further building Americaโs third party isnโt important. Several states donโt even have us as an official party, we have to rectify that by the end of this election.That kinda shit.
>>2037764Cause Trump isn't actually supposed to win the election.
He is supposed to start out only slightly better than 1996 Perot, and can rocket up the polls.
Trump is supposed to be able to deadlock the election and I want the player to be able to influence the election so that the player can strategize to prevent no one from winning.

this isn't a serious idea and I gave up after realising how little information there was about the First Klan, it was pretty difficult to make anything historically accurate, although my entire purpose was to make a mod as offensive as possible to ruffle Shermanfag jimmies who think southerners are literally worse than Hitler
generally I just wanted an excuse to have the word Nigger in every other question, I just never finished it because
1) I'm a good writer but I'm lazy and coding hurts my brain
2) like I said there's just too little information without going full fanfiction. I don't mind them having a meltie because it's racist, but I do mind being criticised for poor historical research
my last resort would just be using AI as a resource I guess
a few endings i had in mind that I thought was funny was Total Yankee Death, Southern Dominance, A Second Reconstruction, and Putin's Dixie. take that with what you will
>Wallace winning more votes then RFK
>>2037957Make the mod bruh
>>2038174its not that interesting, the ending i had in mind just involved the south becoming a CSTO aligned rump state alร Belarus or Burkina Faso

either that or you'll have cossacks patrolling the Mississippi and a new lingua franca when, somehow, the south rises again and gets the Tsarists involved

>>2038485I hope you do take another crack at it, sounds like some peak schizokino
>>2037957>generally I just wanted an excuse to have the word Nigger in every other questionI toyed with the idea of making a parody FDR 1932 mod where instead of FDR he's "FNR" based on a stupid cumtown bit, but your idea seems like a way better and more historically rigorous way of making a mod with Nigger in every question
>>2039144>instead of FDR he's "FNR"
>>2036705you can get Nixon a full eight years, either through consecutive terms or picrel, but I'm not sure what leads to it
>>2038146You can even get Perot to get EVs than RFK.
Just do what you did here with Percy and Lindsay but also make sure that Kennedy controls the FBI and outrage is high, then RFK assassinates Wallace.
Make sure that Reagan isn't in first or second place, however, as if he is then Wallace won't run.

>>2044004Bush was a cool customer. He would have agreed with Dukakis that the question was outrageous and demanded an apology from the moderator, thus making the story about Bush's sportsmanship rather than Dukakis's response

>>2047223The gimmick is pretty obvious from the first question, but at least its marginally less retarded than RC's tilting at windmills. Though it is funny how confidently it asserts that the dems just needed to parrot the geniuses of election twitter to win 2024, ignoring all of the entrenched powers that would prevent a dem from breaking with standard party protocol. Like realistically speaking if Mayor P.P Butt really did tell Bibi to calm down a bit Mossad would've released a video of him having sex with a child.
Would Pat Robertson been an awful president.

>>2047827yes but it requires 3 specific answers and if you want more realism don't take two of them.
The other answer is a full endorsement from Perot.
Pic rel was an accident when I was testing the full Alaska strategy.
>>2006175 (OP)Update for 2000T, all I have left to do is some minor editing for the answers and writing the endings.
There will be 5 maybe 6 endings, the endings go from less than 5% of the popular vote to 20% and above. I have ideas for above 10% where Trump launches a political tv show, below 5% which is an article written by Alex jones and above 20%, which is a blog post by an Obama supporter. But I could use some ideas for above 5% (but below 10%), and above 15%, and maybe a different ending if a deadlock is achieved other than the 20%+ ending.
>>2048741Didn't Trump want Oprah to be his running mate also looking forward to this.
>>2047269>ignoring all of the entrenched powers that would prevent a dem from breaking with standard party protocol.I think the mod does a good job of distinguishing "standard party protocol" with the delusions of the Biden team you're stuck with. I could see your point if the answer was Pete saying he'd support Hamas, but forcing Israel to tone it down a notch was what happened when Obama was in power. Biden was always a fanatical Zionist, and his advisors reflecting that makes sense.
>>2047223This is rather on brand for this mod-maker, he really ought to expand beyond making satire mods revolving around only one point and gimmick.
However, this is much better than Regime Change. At least here the satire is on point and is actually applicable to reality. Regime Change was a weird out-of-time gag about America's supposed love of war and the neo-con mentality which made no sense.
Here the whole conceit is about how out-of-touch democratic leadership is, which is a true thing to satirize
>>2049509Regime Change was meant to portray Haley as the last neocon and satirize the dead/dying movement in America. Felt like it was kicking it while it was down which makes the satire work less.
>>2049538I think part of why this works better is that Regime Change was onto a very interesting scenario that it blew on just making it a shitpost, while "Pete 2024" is a pretty bland scenario improved by having more to it than the candidate swap.
>>2047243That's what happens when the writer is a high schooler
What are your guys thoughts THIS TIME WITH HART?
NEW!!! From Mr. Khan, its the new 2000T mod for the Campaign Trail.
You can make Donald Trump Campaign in the election of 2000, have him battle migration, politicians selling out Americans, and special interest groups.
You can also make him fight for higher taxes on the wealthy, a stable budget so the debt doesnโt rise, and other issues real Americans care about.
With six endings, thereโs endless fun for everyone.
Donโt waste your time with the same mods as usual, play 2000T today!

>>2051249It's unironically kino, has better writing than I expected. Trump sounds like Trump, feedback's funny, answers and questions are good, the endings are well written.
I am really hoping Mr. Khan continues to make mods.
Maybe he should post it onto the Reddit? It's not a chud mod and I doubt any of the ones who would throw a fit about being posted on 4chan would ever even come here so they wouldn't know that. But I get it if he doesn't want to.
>>2051275Not Mr. Khan, but Iโll advertise on the Reddit. Letโs see how long it takes โtill a removal.

>>2051275It is chuddy if a feedback response is: People don't matter, only GDP does. American is a nation of immigrants. No human is illegal.
And one of the endings is pic rel
>>2051316How did you get that ending?
>>2051315thank you
some of those people have poo poo brains so I just wanted to cover all bases
>>2051316get above 20% in the popular vote
I made the mod but I haven't actually done it before on normal mode, I did get 19.6 on normal though so it should be theoretically possible.
>>2051114just submitted it to opentct, hope youre fine with that lol
>>2051117Yeah, its a reference to a shitty British tv show I haven't really seen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Khan
>>2051275The only other mod ideas I really have are a comedic cyoa Arpaio 2012 mod where the only way to win is to prove that Obama isn't an American
as well as two mods based off of this alternate history hub story https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-reform-party-20-years-of-history.501582/reader/
I could actually do the 2000 election for that story, I'd call it "Yes We Lamm"
but I also really want to do the 2004 election in that world (pic rel) as I think a 5 way race is cool as hell, but there is no way I could do that on my own
>>2051894That's fine, but I thought opentct was dead or whatever
>>2051903>Citizen Khanah okay, I just assumed you were a jeet before and was really surprised by the quality of your mod given that assumption
>Arpaio 2012 mod where the only way to win is to prove that Obama isn't an Americanbased, do it
I really like 1962 Sweet Home, it might be one of my favorite mods, it's not a slog to read through like All The Way or TTNW, I think its the most dynamic mod, one of the best for replays.
It's such a shame every new mod is now aping American Carnage and W. instead of looking to Sweet Home. But what do you Anons think?
>>2052006I will probably do Arpaio 2012, I'll call it "He's the Sheriff" after that one tv show She's the Sheriff, which I have heard is bad.
I'll do that over Reform Party themed mods at the moment as while I do love learning about the Reform party its affiliates and history
I am burnt out a bit on Reform history, so I will build the Arpaio mod with some cyoa (because you have to be dedicated to proving Obama is actually kenyan) eventually

New OpenTCT mod!
https://opencampaigntrail.com/tct/campaign-trail/?modName=1984WestHollywood
>>2058045it's...certainly unique
>>2058045Didn't understand a single damn thing that was happening, somehow got couped and executed by my own running mate. 10/10 mod.
>>2058045I played this mod and got the diplomat/rule-abiding homofascist ending. Here's my review:
The good points:
1. I liked the aesthetics of the mod, and I am at the very least impressed by the decision to focus on such an obscure and controversial segment of history. Veh also came across as a character with a very strong voice - from what I've seen of the mod author's other work, he has a real talent for writing paradoxical characters.
2. I like how the absurd is played straight. On question 7, there's this funny moment where you, a gay man, can say women shouldn't be involved in politics because they should be off bearing children instead. This could've easily been milked for comedy but the dead factual feedback just made it more ridiculous in a good way.
The bad points:
1. Beneath the paint I dare say it's uncreative and tropey. It's yet another RTKH/Galen piece rehashing the same dilemma of "do you choose peace or violence?" he's written before in mods such as 2278Louisiana.
2. The "Nazi/Hippie Dichotomy" is a focal issue in mechanics terms, but almost all of the antagonism in the narrative comes from either the establishment or other right-wingers, making the issue come across as confused at best. I never once felt like hippies, who were supposedly my philosophical polar opposite, were a legitimate threat to my philosophy at any point in the narrative.
>>2058520Hey, Galen here. Thank you so much for the honest and thorough feedback! I really do appreciate it.
> The "Nazi/Hippie Dichotomy" is a focal issue in mechanics terms, but almost all of the antagonism in the narrative comes from either the establishment or other right-wingers, making the issue come across as confused at best.You are completely right that it wasn't used nearly as much as I originally hoped for, and it was certainly a direction issue I was facing in terms of creating the content. I made the mod entirely by myself and I'll grant I have very disorganized thinking patterns which might have damaged some aspects of the mod's otherwise seemingly well-received writing.
>Beneath the paint I dare say it's uncreative and tropey. It's yet another RTKH/Galen piece rehashing the same dilemma of "do you choose peace or violence?" he's written before in mods such as 2278Louisiana.This is probably also true, although I'm not as certain as to where the issue is most present. I'll be sure to ask around and see what others think, too. Thank you regardless!
>>2058045>>2058604I think a few of the endings are broken.
Went all in on raunchiness and violence, and somehow won.
>>2058045Finally some new mods. But at what cost?
(Does this mean Razistorija can also be added to OpenTCT)
>>2059756I'm not the most knowledgeable person on the subject but I imagine that would require OpenTCT to get the consent of the mod authors (who need I remind you are unironic communists) which is vanishingly unlikely desu.

>>2061419>but he tried dumping a ton of resources into the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat a few months later and it had basically no impact on the final result.It actually had a negative impact. The superintendent election in that same race wasn't publicly supported and funded by Elon. The liberal also won that one, but by 5% instead of 10%. The difference is that the general public didn't see him as a malign, outsized influence on Trump before his second term began.

>>2061245Retarded take. The polls didn't show any bump after the random garbage-patch-kid event. It was all down to economy-stupid and Biden being a massive anchor under Kamala's neck.
>>2061221Yes and no. Fraud allegadions are schizoid liberal panic. PAC wasn't that big of a deal. But I do think his endorsment alone did a lot culturally in motivating the Joe Rogan demographic of swing voters. Granted, Dems shat the bed so hard (remember, Trump just as in 2016 didn't so much win as ride on a wave of Dems massively underperforming) that I would not be sure it mattered in the end.
>>2062010It's far and above both of those mods by virtue of not being produced by The Clique.

I'm working on my first mod, '76: Hot On The Trail which is where Nixon picks Connally instead of Ford.
The basic idea is that it should mostly be about Connally having to clean up all the corruption scandals but I am open to more ideas.
I got limted coding experience but I'm learning pretty quick, still it will probably be a few days before I announce it on the reddit and even then I will have a whole lot of work to do.
What do you anons think?
>>2069098This is Connally's screen.
>>2069099Whose the running mates?
>>2069100I've only finished Elliot Richardson's screen but not the other running mates which are:
>Howard Baker>Richard Schweiker>Bob Dole>James Buckley>Jesse Helms
>>2069098I'm excited for this, if only for the novelty of promoting Connally from the background character he is in most mods to full-on playable character. Good luck writing anon.
>>2069107Thanks anon!
The reason why I chose Connally is because he is actually a very interesting guy, great friends with both LBJ and Nixon, pro-palestine and loved by the Saudis, he was the frontrunner in 1980 (picrel is where I got the name), did a lot of corruption such as possibly committing voter fraud with LBJ, Nixon wanting to start a new party with him, taking bribes to boost milk support, and possibly sabotaged the iran hostage crisis to help Reagan.
>>2069119>pro-palestineWhy?
>sabotage crisis to help ReaganHow exactly?
>>2069123>Why?Because Israel sucks dick?
>>2069123>Why?Because he believed if Israel withdrew all the soldiers in the land taken in the Six Day War and recognized palestine then they could stop worrying about oil.
>How exactly?He traveled to the middle east and allegedly told regional leaders to tell Iran to not release the hostages until after the eletion.
>>2069132When will this be finish?
>>2069141A few weeks I'm guessing.
>>2069143Would he been a good president? Also good luck anon.
>>2030310>Parody mod mocking Regime Change and Mayor Pete depicting a scenario where Trump dies in Butler and Haley now GOP nominee and every question about Gaza (and how chuds are LE BAD o algo) and there's a chuds_are_nazis score (like how RC has a literal republicans_are_fascists score) and if you're not CHUD enough you lose all fifty states because a Tim Pool write-in got more traction. Every ending slide is either an ostensible video essay about Super Mario that's actually "Mario has a red hat and you know WHO ELSE has a red hat? TRUMP!" or Matt Walsh or Dennis Prager or Ben Shapiro portrayed as one-dimensional skinheads failing to understand why the kids are all Maoist-Third-Worldists>Hasan Piker running for California Governor in 2026 with a run-off section where you can either get Hasan v. Harris or Hasan v. -generic Republican- or locked out altogether due to Californias jungle primary
I've finished Baker, Schweiker, and Dole's screens, I still got Buckley and Helms but I might finish them later tonight.
I would like thoughts on my writing and if I should change anything.
>No Gerald Ford?
He's the current Vice but like Rockefeller decides not to run again. If I figure out how CYOA candidate swaping mechanics work then I might add a secret path were Connally gets shot and Ford takes over but that's not guaranteed.
>>2069864This is Schweiker's screen.
>>2069866And this is Dole's screen.

>>2069868Are you adding more running mates. Also how many question will there be?
>>2069877>Are you adding more running mates.Not planning too but I am open to any ideas you got.
>Also how many question will there be?I think that 30 would be a good amount.
>>2069879How about William Ruckelshaus, Tom McCall, and Edward Brooke?
>>2069883>William RuckelshausI thought about it but he was just too similar to Elliot Richardson.
>Tom McCallEh, I might but probably not, I could put him in as a third-party candidate.
>Edward BrookeConnally was against civil rights so putting him with Brooke could be very interesting idea, I will look into it.
>>2068434Well there's no war, but Bush is probably still going to mismanage Katrina, and the 2008 financial crisis is still likely to happen.
Given that foreign policy is less important in a no 9/11 world, Obama will still win over Clinton. And win in a more decisive way.
Obama's administration doesn't deal with foreign wars, but I doubt it'd be that different really. Maybe Obamacare goes further, he may be more popular with the left since he doesn't have the drone striking or privacy-violation thing going on that the real Obama did.
Given that the middle east would be more stable in a non-9/11-happening world, Clinton would probably beat Trump in 2016. So the GOP would be entirely different and who knows who the nominee for the GOP would be in 2020. Maybe Rand Paul on an anti-COVID-lockdown ticket? The GOP would probably win 2020, though.
>>2072818NTA but I didn't pay too much attention when I played W. 9/11 never happened in it?
>>2030310Make a mod called orange peel a 2024 where Trump is assassinated leading Nikki Haley wins the Republican nomination.
>>2073231Yeah that's the whole premise, it's a no 9/11 alternate history.
That's why the GOP don't control congress in 2002, why America isn't yet in Afghanistan, why Danny Hastart has been outed as pedophile so early, why Wellstone didn't die in a plane crash, and why the opening slide mentions 'with the cynicism of the '90s still in vogue.' As opposed to the influx of patriotic and optimistic sentiment which happened in the real early 2000s.
They should reformat the showcase page. I can never sort by plays unless I scroll down and load most of the mods.

>>2087177Hey, Galen here. I wasn't actually trying to hide the mods or anything, I was just struggling to disable the site. I'll be re-opening the repo.
https://github.com/nevadaa/nevadaa.github.io
Can anyone explain why the CTS community always pearlclutches about some "ideal new player"? There's like a whole genre of reddit posts that are like "think of the children! What if they accidentally click this broken mod and it bugs out and they get filtered from CTS?!?!". I bet this more than anything was why Razistorija got purged, cuz someone was like "oh no, what if a random non-autistic and very serious person tried it as first mod and saw the word "pederast" and was too dumb to realize it was being used to mock retarded slav populist rethoric!?!?!"
>>2087171>>2090151Honestly, it didn't seem like it was going anywhere. Back when Tex made his own site, he took about half the mods in existence at the time with him. The main draw of OCT, meanwhile, is a Dick Cheney shitpost.
Maybe something will come of the choose your own adventure engine Cod and Naimina are apparently working on.
>>2090049I think the issue is more than there are a lot of literal children in the community and this game was never 18+ to begin with.
I liked the 17776 inspired mod, plenty of fun easter eggs and references. visiting the endless game of Colorado was particularly fun.

>>2090904This is classic American moralising though. There are plenty of mods that touch on other 18+ themes like war, murder, drugs, suicide, etc, but sex apparently crosses the line. It's a completely ridiculous standard that America pushes on the rest of the world. The answer which Decstar gave, which is that he personally just didn't want mentions of sex/pedophilia on his loader, is much more honest and reasonable than trying to make out that the objectionable things that Razistorija mentions are way worse than all the other objectionable things people put in their mods.
>>2092270>This is classic American moralising though. There are plenty of mods that touch on other 18+ themes like war, murder, drugs, suicide, etc, but sex apparently crosses the line.I don't disagree at all.

Immigration should be a huge issue in the game yet the stupid gaza shit that no one cares about is front and center
Haley's concessions to Hawley should have included economic ones, given the fact he is on the economic left side of the GOP
Vance should be way harder to defeat, did Astro and I pay attention to the same election?
I feel like he just briefly read the wikipedia pages and didn't look into what made Vance and Hawley stand out from the GOP. I'm sure there is more dogshit, but I haven't done every playthrough yet.
>>2006175 (OP)So how is Ross For boss coming along?
I saw there was supposed to be a demon on June 23.
Its one of the few mod's I'm interested in.
>>2094434Immigration is an important issue but there isn't exactly room for althist other than the borders bill. And there's not really a reason to devote several questions to
>As the Republican candidate, what is your position on the border crisis?>Of course I am strongly against illegalsSome of the Dan Bryan scenarios did this where there were multiple variations of "what is your stance on X issue" filler questions randomly shuffled in and it wasn't very engaging. I agree about Vance though. The mod devs are clearly still in the "Vance is retarded and everybody hates him" camp when it's been pretty obvious for a while now that even if he didn't do much for the Trump he definitely didn't hurt him. The only people who have strong opinions on Vance already have strong opinions on Trump, and his rhetoric was less inflammatory and more moderate friendly than Trump's.
>>2094434>>2094484I agree that DSA's treatment of immigration is fair and that it didn't need more questions, but I also agree that the gaza shit is fucking cringe. I have a pretty politically diverse family and friend group IRL so I've listened to both lefties and righties sperg about politics and genuinely Israel vs. Palestine wasn't a top reason any one of them gave for voting for Trump or Harris in the last election. For non-terminally online Americans it's just not a pressing topic.
Is there no Mormon mod? Let me make Joseph Smith a President, establish Utah theocracy with Brigham Young or become King-Governor of Michigan with James Strang. There's fun to be had there.
>>2094562There's 1844c but it's really a survival sim in the vein of a classic CYOA with game overs and death scenes instead of a presidential candidate sim.
>>2093390I'm a (European) lefty and I absolutely fail to grasp the online (American) left chimpout over Palestine. Like, for one there is the basic fact that same exact shit is happening in Ukraine and these same shitstains who pridefully all-but support HAMAS moan about how "Zelensky should just surrender cuz its a lost cause", but even if we ignore that, there is, oh I dunno, Sudan clusterfuck that is WAAAY worse on humanitarian scale than either Palestine or Ukraine? And if the chimping is because "well Biden could press the fix-Palestine button any day but he doesn't want to", couldn't the same apply to Sudan?. Then you have the whole quetching about ethnkstates which just sounds like schizoid American exceptionalism of "duh, we have no culture and no ethnicity and pretend that races are real to make up for our cultural deficiencies, so why can't Jews also make a clusterfuck non-country like us???". Bro, the entirety of the rest of the world except for other colonies are "ethnostates", and yeah, Jews absolutely deserve one, that just seems like an absolute non-issue to my oldworld mind.
>>2094562I agree, I think a 20th century, or Modern-day presidential election in an independent State of Deseret could be very fun and interesting. On the same note though, I've been surprised there really haven't been any CSA mods made either.

>>2095033>And if the chimping is because "well Biden could press the fix-Palestine button any day but he doesn't want to", couldn't the same apply to Sudan?Remember when Biden gave the RSF $3 billion worth of weapons and invited Hemedti to speak to congress?
>I'm a (European) lefty and I absolutely fail to grasp the online (American) left chimpout over Palestine.You can just say you're German next time.
>>2093338Overall it was decent for what is was. My main complaint was that it felt like there were too many individual people writing it. At times it felt like it didn't know if it wanted to be a classic "cynical satire mod", and something more grounded. Aside from that, I wish there were also more Democrat Candidates to counter the number of all the possible Republicans by having the option of doing an open convention, etc.
How easy is it to mod?
Cause I've had an idea for a dumb mod, but it'd require a custom state map. I want to make a mod titled 'Class President 2012' where you try to gain favor of your classmates to become class president. Simple 25 questions setup without anything fancy beside the theme.
>>2093338It feels lacking in so many ways
>>2095200its not that hard, you can build one pretty easily without any help like I did
But I don't know how to set up custom maps
if you don't have anything complicated it should be really easy outside of setting up

Okay, after playing Our Revolution, I feel I should do a big CYOA mod review:
>Peace With Honor: B-
Overall its a decent mod but I won't give it slack for being CYOA's grandpappy for the same reason I don't think Citizen Kane holds up any better than a B-tier Oscar nominee from current year. The CYOA for the opponent is retarded due to how its tied to the Vietnam bombing answer. It fails to let you RP by not having much reactivity to your "vibe" and ultimately its just about you winning or not. Also no OST.
>W.: S
The gold standart. Enough CYOA to not be overwhelming, allows a lot RP potential for various Bush personalities for a ton of replayability. CYOA is balanced to be not be overly tight and better yet - its legible, even without a TTNW-era stat dossie. You will know your path by the options you take. OST is amazing, but to be fair, its mostly carried by Counting Bodies and American Idiot
>American Carnage: C-
Its bad, and this trend seems to continue for most modern election mods. The CYOA is illegible. The options are also illegible half the time and there is no real clue as to what you can even roleplay - its all just different flavors of the same kinds of Trump brainfarts. You never really feel as if you are executing any specific strategy, and just get feedback if you are getting fucked or not come midterms. The soundtrack is mid af (Little Ice Age is fucking boring and I am tired of redditors sucking its dick), Troubled Times is probably the only great track on there
(Cont.)
>>2096858desu I'd rather a mod have no OST than a shit OST.
>>2096858>Obamanation: C+Different flavor of bad compared to AC. Its failure mostly falls down on the fact that its one of those "you eat shit or you don't" CYOAs. Also the CYOA leans a bit on the "I don't know what the fuck causes this or that" and it can feel esoteric at times, but there are worse offenders. You'll either be shitting the bed or doing crazy powertripping and it all depends on you not taking any bad answers in the first few questions. Contrast this to W. where you could easily pick and choose what you fuck up or not (like I didn't even know Iraq war vote could fail until I saw the Byrd guide on reddit). However, it does have its endearing moments like BoJo exploding and you certainly can go on different RP paths. Music is worse than bad - I literally don't recall a single track except for D-Riding.
>Germany Between Decades: B-Including this as its a CYOA encumbemt hybrid with a general campaign mod, also because I like non-American mods. The mechanics are interesting, but they also mess it up. It ends up being too esoteric with the advisor shuffling and the impact it has on the question answers. Like the Greens female candidate has to shuffle advisors to make sure her CYOA score stays up. RP wise its pretty barren - you either succeed at each candidates main mechanic, or you more or less fail. However, the well crafted nature of the scenario, as well as the interesting set of events with Green surge followed by SPD revival make it fun to play, and the OST is fairly funky, definetly better than the last two mods.
(Continued)
>>2096869>Things That Never Were: S+Pure KINO. There are just so many paths you can take and they all make sense depending on how you RP Kennedy and Morton. The characters break the bounds of what you can expect from a CT mod and paint a fully fleshed little novel. Personally I love Byrd the most with how transformational he can end up looking over the course of multiple playthroughs as your perspective shifts from seeing him as an enemy to your single greatest ally. Morton side is amazing in its own right, and knowing how well the GOP in 1968 comparison works for modern Democrats, throws shame on the more recent mods. Soundtrack is probably the weakest side - the first half or so is great, but the later songs are mid, however there are stand-out picks for ending songs.
>All the Way: A-Its very good, but has some things holding it back. Most of all its the everengineered CYOA and the stats associated with it, though this only really impacts Johnson runs where you have to deal with October Surprises, which on their own are very cool, if not for how they trip over each other in a priority queue. The RP is decent, but sometimes gets pushed to the side by it being a reelection mod. Its best content, the alternate candidates, manage to do a lot of good stuff, even with 8 questions, which points to a lot of skill from the authors side to do so much with so little, eg McCarthy completely rewritting the narrative. OST is pretty bad for Johnson, but alt-candidate songs are slappers, including the ending songs. Shame the same ol Johnson OST plays after the nomination song ends
>DSA: tentative C-?I didn't play too much of it yet, but the OST is awful and Biden just isn't interesting, not even when his brain starts melting. CYOA at least for now feels esoteric as well and I have no clue why which non-Trump candidate ends up winning the nomination.
>>2096862gonna make a mod ost just pop punk and alt rock.
>>2096874I'm still a little mad that I never got a chance to play All the Way because it's the first TCT mod that's actually too resource-intense to play on my rustbucket of a PC.
>>2096874>Our Revolution: DBig stinker. The writting seems weird and possibly AI written, at the very least its not fun. And the mod it self is just not fun - because not being able to do anything is not fun. Far as I can tell this isn't even an Obamanation-esque situation with a single path to victory before midterms. This is especially awful when compared to TTNW - Bobby, who is basucally in Bernie's shoes unable to do fuck all at the start, can take other strategies than just eat shit and be a tortured martyr the whole term, eg like actually managing to cut deals with Byrd. These things not only make the mod more fun for letting you do stuff, but also letting you make RP choices that are rewarded properly. You'd think that Our Revolution would also be able to do it, it even seems like you could by choosing which of your 3 support bases to throw under the bus (and possibly claw back after midterms when you get full power) to get something done, but nope, its just an angst management sim that you need to master to get a 2024 trifecfa, basically making it just a very hard and esoteric basic campaign mod with a binary win/lose ending. At least the Bernie side OST is good, but I can only guess how bad Kamala one is...
Am I missing one, well..
>>2096894>Razistorija: S-This mod grew on me. It seemed like self-immiserated Serb seething at start, and it still kinda is, but damn it, it has SOUL. Mechanically it might fall on just a bit too simple side - its just Amerikkka vs Ruzzia vs Tito and dictator vs "democrat" stats, but its more than PWH and is enough to RP to a decent extent. Dodik isn't the most interesting character, but he is a raw one, same as all other, eg Rudi, but it all makes sense since its all even in the context of the mod just projections made by the author that are based on their own pain, as we learn in Sarazistorija ending. The OST is unironically the best of any mod, but that just be due to me being biased to 90s post-soviet alt music. On technical side, mod makes some great leaps and bounds (actually the best music player cuz you can wind back tracks). Ultimately, despite all its flaws, its an actual piece of art unlike most mods, and you know what? That's a perfect poetic metaphor - the three muses of drama, tragedy, comedy and satire, so well reflected by the three top CYOA mods.
>>2096896What about Vice bitch

>>2097116>You need to make very specific answers that boost the Sarazistorija variabledo post a guide
>>2097129>Sadly his modern mods are also kinda shitCareful now, youโre gonna make him have another crashout
>>2097135Can't be bothered to hunt down the correct answers, but basically you just check the Code 2 for true ending or Sarazistorija stat and find a big IF statement that shows the IDs for the answers. Of the top of my head, its...
>They almost killed it... on Q1>Do an online campaign>Third way currency>Condem all violance>Deny Israel's statehood>Open the memorial on Titoist path>Hardball Abdic (you need him as opponent) by calling him a capitalist megacorp owner and later call his supporters a peasants revolt>Visit ChinaYou'll know you did it right when all that is solid turns into air.
>>2097179>Do an online campaignThis is only partially correct. You have to do an online campaign, but it specifically has to fail, which it does if you took authoritarian measures earlier. You know you got the right answer and a +1 to your Sarazistorija stat if you got the feedback where reddit calls you "Ditler".

>>2097179is it this ending?
because i'm going to be honest anon maybe i'm just an exceptional brainlet but i didn't 'get' what either the questions or ending slides were actually representing
>>2097150Holy shit, he followed up with a voiced crashout video. Honestly even if he's mad, the vid is kinda based in how it shits on Our Revolution.
>>2097387Yes. And as far as I understood, it ends with the entire fictional reality being raptured as the main characters all confront their traumas and deepest fears, with the true ending being a heart-to-heart honest chat about life from the devs. Though I have no clue who the fuck the guy from second question (between Tito and Guliani) was supposed to be.
He's just ragebaiting, don't know how you can call it a crashout
>>2097510https://www.reddit.com/r/thecampaigntrail/comments/1m37nln/2028_our_revolution_obummer_dev_diary_video/
Beware of earrape, he (purposefully?) speaks in low volume then blasts Ye slop
>>2097527I mean, he very obviously is pissed at Our Revolution and the mostly positive reception redditors gave it. He is shitposting, but doing so emotionally and out of spite.
>>2097527I dunno about the current one, but the thread Obummer made when everyone was shitting on his Pete mod was objectively a crashout
>>2093338A watered down version of a shitty mod that hasnโt released yet
>>2095489are there any third party opponents?

>>2097129I did think the Pete mod was a big improvement over Regime Change. The issue is less with the endings themselves and more that they're blatantly following the W. Team format of "pop culture news story with unsubtle nod to political situation differing from OTL."
>>2097528lmao
>>2096545>the "isn't x, it's y" shit is sus as hellI donโt even like the mod but there are a shit ton of examples of Bernie talking exactly like that. He loves to use that phrase
>>2097771All that proves is that Bernie is an AI
I was avoiding it out of fear of peak cringe, but Some in the Air after playing it is probably the best 20's mod right now. Not that its super amazing - it does have heart once you get past the initial ridiculousness - but the competition is so bad, that it sort of wins by default like Trump in GOP primaries.
Hey everyone, Galen here
People were harassing me in DMs and threatening me with doxxing after announcing the McGovern mod, so now it's cancelled
The wokies won and now you don't get your cool incumbency sim, sorry
By the way, the future of TCT is psychotic tranny communists that hate you and that's all there is to it
Leave the ship while you still can
>>20983021. That's not what happened. The people who were working with you felt uncomfortable associating with someone who has far right views.
2. Are you finally leaving this time? Because every 2 months, you get up and start whining like the little faggot you are about how "this time it's really over" and then you always come back. Just leave and don't come back, for fuck's sake.
Go fuck your poop jar, Ariel.
>>2098302you're a lying sack of shit
you made a post about being a "controversial figure", said you wouldn't blame people for not wanting to be associated with the mod, then sit there and say it's "bullying" when people take you up on your own goddamn offer. you made some lameass apology letter up after rugpulling people just to get them on the dev team, and now it's this.
go see a fucking psychiatrist
>>2098302My guy I don't like the TCT community either, let alone tranny communists, but I have zero sympathy for you as long as you keep acting like some kind of schizophrenic lolcow. Genuinely turn off the computer and touch grass.
>>2098302if your goal with OCT and vice and the gay Nazis in Hollywood was just to get all the little chuddies to ride your dick it's no wonder it didn't go how you hoped
>>2098302>>2098354>>2098361>>2098375>>2098381Can anyone fill me in on what any of this is about?
>>2098395other modders quit on galen the brazilian's mcgovern mod
>go on TCT
>there's another mod about some no-name liberal nobody knows about being democratic nominee and saving the world and giving everyone free kittens and puppies and unicorns
Come on guys..
>>2098454I just hate the democrat only mods
That's why I only make third party mods/multi way race ones.
>>2098302Why don't you make your own version of the McGovern mod if you think you can do it better?
>>2097760>chatgptDidnโt he do this same shtick back when Liberty and Liberalism dropped?
>>2090049this is especially ironic given how much they ridicule the idea of pivoting to attract the "moderate swing voter" in elections
>>2099116He's throwing shade at Our Revolution
The thing with Our Revolution is that political capital always decreases over time.. so thereโs no point saving it for future use. It will always decrease. Most of the โbadโ options that increase it are also the only ones to get anything done, so the game essentially puts forward that meaningless performative lack-of-action is better than achieving anything. Thereโs also the thing that Kamalas side is just so much easier than Bernieโs, so it pushes you into OTLism but with Bernie instead of Biden. They even make him burn out over time to justify him quitting - in other words compromise makes him literally turn senile.
Itโs just very fatalistic - according to the mod being on the right side of things but accomplishing nothing is better than compromising on a handful of issues, and both lead to the same end anyway. And even if youโre having a successful run it ends up killed by Gaza anyway, not even by like some votes in swing states - you just receive a massive hit from gaza no matter what, as ifs the most important situation of all time.
>>2099982Wow it's almost like being a socialist freak sucks, who woulda thunk
>>2099990Yeah but the mod doesnโt mock Bernie for that, it lionizes him for it and punishes you if you try to play a different way.
>>2099800I know that. I was saying he did the same thing to Liberty and Liberalism
new delusional retardation dropped
>>2101352engaging with this unironically for a second this has to be one of the most retarded posts i've ever seen a redditard make
the point of W/AC is that the policies you're passing aren't good (in the developers eyes) and it's done to show the 'damage' that the republican agenda is causing (this moreso applies to AC where everything you pass has a response that reads like 'you and pence proceed to use all the money you cut from social security to build literally auschwitz 2, here's why fox news likes it')
whereas the 'leftie' mods are intentionally meant to portray their incumbent as a tortured soul who wants to pass good things like puppies and kittens to everyone while the hecking unwholesome evil establishment (made up of republicans) doesn't want that and by extension the point is that democrats are ultimately good-natured but not left-wing enough but also entirely complicit in this imagined republican raping of the country by compromising with them
>tldr: the right wing incumbency simulators are meant to portray them as doing big change and winning big margins because it's meant to make you feel... LE BAD (like literally all of AC and the stuff in W about bush using sharpton/hillary/wellstone's characteristics against them) while the leftie ones are meant to make you feel... LE BAD because hecking unwholesome republicans will prevent change from ever happening in the US because they're that evil
>>2101352I think it plays into a negativity bias. Some people don't need any convincing that things could get worse, or (in their mind) bad politicians accomplishing their agenda, but they think it's near impossible for good to be done.
It may also be a case of how if a progressive were to make being a do-it-all working class champion easy and effective, that makes the fact that it hasn't happened in reality kinda depressing.
