Hey guys. So today I was taking the AP Government test and thought up a game based on Congress lol

So here's how it goes:

Rules: show
There are 5 bills and 5 players. Each player, as their win objective, need to have some of the bills passed, and others not passed. For each bill which end up in accordance with the specific player's win conditions, 1 point is given (For example, player 1's win objective includes having Bill A NOT pass. The bill is not passed. Player 1 gets 1 point). The player with the most points win.

A bill is passed or voted down by a majority decision (3 votes). Votes need to be bolded. Each player has 1 vote, unless otherwise indicated.

The game ends when all bills are voted on.

No editing posts.

No outside communications, unless otherwise stated.

I get to be the referee.

Be respectful.

Players may or may not be given special abilities, such as double-voting.


Heh. So anyone want to sign up and give it a try? This is the first time this game is being played here, I think. Not sure how well it would work...

1. Lucina
2. TOWK
3. Hakker
4. King Arthur
5. Dr.Geno

Also, guys, this game is not necessarily reflective of how Congress and stuff actually works. Don't assume the President can vote in Congress, just because he can in this game, for example.

This cannot be congress because we might actually pass a bill... I dunno, I might join this depending on the setup. Like, do we just get told what we're supposed to pass, and at least one other person is trying to do the exact opposite? Or are we given angle to play?

ROLES
Lucina: show
You are the President. Although you are not a formal part of Congress, you still interct with it quite a bit.

One-time Ability: Veto
One time in the game, you may veto a bill by posting Veto: [Bill name]. THE BILL NEEDS TO BE ALREADY PASSED. By vetoing the bill, the bill is un-passed and now requires four votes to be re-passed. This does not work on bills which are voted down.


Victory conditions: For each of the following fulfilled, you earn 1 point.

Bill 1: Pass
Bill 2: Pass
Bill 3: Pass
Bill 4: Vote Down
Bill 5: Vote Down

TOWK: show
You are the House Rules Chairperson. You set the agenda for the House and organize its activities.

One Time Ability: Giving the Floor
Once in the game, you may limit voting to one bill by posting Topic: [Bill name]. No votes for any other bill is counted until the bill you chose is voted on.


Victory conditions: For each of the following fulfilled, you earn 1 point.

Bill 1: Vote Down
Bill 2: Pass
Bill 3: Pass
Bill 4: Pass
Bill 5: Vote Down

Hakker: show
You are the Senate Whip. While you don't really whip anyone physically, you do attempt to convince them to vote the way you want them to.

One-Time ability: Convince
Once in the game, you may do convince some random senator (not a player) to vote the same way as you. This is essentially a double vote. Simply post Double Vote: [Bill name] to use. This may not be unvoted.

Bill 1: Vote Down
Bill 2: Vote Down
Bill 3: Pass

Bill 1: Pass
Bill 2: Vote Down
Bill 3: Vote Down
Bill 4: Pass

You role is the Senior Senator. As a senpai to many, you have some say when it comes to making important decisions. For some reason, people are very respectful of your opinion when it comes to impeachment.

Once in the game, you may impeach a player by posting Impeach: [Player name]. The player can still post, but can no longer vote. They still can win and gets points after being impeached, though.
