Greetings, Brad. I'm looking forward to this game, and wanted to ask a few questions regarding the point system for candidate qualities.
Under home state, I assume you allocate the most points to be from California, New York, or Texas vs. spending no points to be from Delaware or North Dakota, right?
The descriptions for integrity and credibility seem nearly identical. Does integrity in the game also mean voters are more likely to accept a candidate's position because of the candidate's perceived integrity? Or perhaps the candidate is less likely to have random-event scandal occur?
As for philosophy, do you spend more points to be a moderate, where more voters on the philosophical bell curve presumably are? It would seem that the candidate would do more to define his/her philosophy by the answers and statements we pick throughout the game anyway.
For the real-life candidates, do you plan to allocate an equal amount of points to each, or will some candidates simply have more to work with than others?
And for our designer candidates, will the number of points we get to allocate be used to determine whether we're playing on an "easy" or "hard" difficulty level?
Thanks.
