This needs to be a separate thread, not part of this one as it would feel out of place, I think it would be nice if we have the Los Santos Election right after Mr. Los Santos is finished and closed.

I like the ideas put forth here about all of this, but how would events and rules in regards to certain areas work since many of us are on different platforms, likely live in different parts of the world/don't game at the same time, etc? Essentially such a thing would have to take the form of a crew (similar to PBMO) and hope to take off from there.

 

Based on Arthur's initial post, I envisioned this more as just a contest similar to Mr/Ms Los Santos where each person running for governor of San Andreas writes a bio; presents photos/campaign posters; expresses their views, policies, and courses of action in regards to current issues and changes; etc. You could even have a debate among the finalists; someone could come up with a series of questions about their plans if they're elected, and in the end, users would vote for those who are projected to make the initial cut and later the finalists.

 

I like all of the ideas presented regardless, but a more simplistic approach might be better suited as a whole unless one is prepared to take on the challenge of leading a new crew and making this thing a permanent fixture.

 

Just my thoughts, but it should be a lot of fun! :). Also, forgive me if I'm not reading all of this right--a lack of sleep will do that to you. :p

This is more what I originally had in mind. As wonderfully official as Danger's concept sounds I feel it might be too restrictive and complex. I imagine it could get quite popular with the idea being new, it's probably going to be more accessible as well than Mr/Mrs LS; e.g- you don't have to be that sexy (see current President), however this is Hollywood and there's always going to glitz.

I think a combination of both would work very well.

I feel this deserves its own thread to prepare for, who here would like to help me make this?

Helping get a construct down doesn't mean that you immediately become a judge and cannot enter as a competitor.

We need somewhere to organise this.

As much as I'd love to participate, since I helped provide a general outline of the potential this forum gamemode has and being better at asking questions than answering, I guess I will need to be a judge instead.

 

There should be five judges, so I'll need at least four more judges, two who will supervise the Democrats and the other two supervising the Republicans, with the fifth being the Supreme Judge who supervises both sides and create the thread in the first place.

 

I don't mind if I become the Supreme Judge, but if anyone else wants to step up then they can freely do so, I haven't done this before so I have no idea if I'll do a good enough job at formatting and editing the thread.

 

E - I believe that we shouldn't let Mr. and Ms. Los Santos winners to participate, we need to spread the variety and give everyone else a chance at winning something.

I don't think we should include the R and D parties, it limits how many people can take part and people might end up taking it too seriously. Instead why don't we let people create their own parties, like a Workers Party or an Environmental Party, it allows for more creativity and gives the participant freedom to carve out their own concept and decisions.

 

Anyone should have the chance to participate, sure they were strong in M. LS, but this is a completely different ball game, I do see where you're coming from though, past winners tend to have the most friends and supporters on the forum.

This is why I still believe that it's better to have it as 5 Democrats and 5 Republicans in the second stage, if any good unique party candidate does well in the first stage then they can compete against the Democratic and Republican nominees in the third stage and have three or four nominees in the Final Debate.

 

 

tl;dr:-

 

The first stage is open admission for all members, but 5 Dems and 5 Reps need to be endorsed to move on to the next stage, any unique party member that gets approved by the majority of judges in the first stage get to move to Stage 3 and compete against the Dem and Rep candidates.

Just popping in to say a LS general election sounds super fun if you have manifestos and debates etc! Staff will happily endorse it and you can have medals to hand out. If you need a group PM to discuss and plan things privately, let me know.

If a Governor's only promise is to nerf a gun then they won't make it too far. I also think we shouldn't have any meta policies, but ones which exist primarily in the universe of the game.

You make a good point, we'll keep limited numbers in the second round. However I don't think Republicans and Democrats should be the main focus, they're pretty dull parties most of the time and this is a forum game.

Yup, sounds good. I can't wait for the party slander. ;)

Can we make group pm's on here?

Alright, we have two judges (Shelby and I) so far, does anyone else want to be a part of the Judge Team for Governor of San Andreas 2016?

I would be happy to help out anyway that I can; I do think I would feel more comfortable with submitting an entry into the race as opposed to being a judge, but if there aren't enough interested people to step forward, I will gladly help out.

 

I'll continue the discussion in the other thread, but I just wanted to let you know about this since it were posted here. You guys have come up with some great ideas and I'm definitely looking forward to this! :)
