Political Coalitions game (Round 4)

Hey guys, new co/back-up moderator person thing here. I feel like I should say something clever, but nothing good's really coming out.

Guess I'm a Democrat.

...

Yeah, that was really bad. I'm sorry.

But anyway, you're stuck with me. I'm not 100% sure on what my duties are yet, so for now, just CC me on any PMs to Hoppy until one of us posts duties fo'sho.

IDC. If you're desperate for something to do, you can take all the PM's and I'll just update the first two posts and post occasional results.

Nuh-uh, you're not getting off that easy.

@Players: send them to both of us. Just so Hoppster knows I'm not being bribed.

Parties in danger of going bankrupt…

Mayor of Mishagonamashaland disappears…

Previously unheard-of representative from the Keyblade Party takes over…

What is the land coming to?

Result: Coalition Formed!

Sex With Libertarian Dragons in the Slimy Base of the One Ring

Drench (5):

$66M

Cirno (3):

$40M

werewolf555 (3):

$40M

Twistedspoon (2):

$27M

gandalf5166 (2):

$27M

TonyMontana (1):

$20M

Due to the Political Upheaval inherent in a new

and awesome

Mayor, the citizens of Mishagonamashaland accuse every politician of being a dirty, rotten, lying sleazeball and call for a new election.

Pot:

$220m

You now have about 24 hours to PM me and Hoppster an amount between $0m and however much money you have remaining (in a multiple of $20m) for the amount of money you wish to spend campaigning. Each $20m gets you one extra 'ticket' when the number of seats won is determined. PM's must be to me by 8 pm, Sunday 20 February (EST).

You do not need to PM me if you cannot spend any money. This applies to TonyMontana only.

PMs that were already sent will not be counted *coughCirnocough*

Also, does/will anybody actually use the "Average Price per Seat" thing I've got going? It's a pain to update.

@ Xalxe: Nice results post, man!
Oh, wait, that's because you're using my epic template =]

EDIT: Mayor of Mishmashagonaland disappears?
I'll just see about that...

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS POST NEVER HAPPENED. OUR BELOVED HOPPSTER IS CURRENTLY...ON VACATION. YEAH, THEY'LL BELIEVE THAT.

As long as we're still in this brief period of civil rest, how has your life been, Drench?

Speaking of which, you owe me a PM still.

Also, sorry TonyMontana. I forgot you and gandalf both suck at this.

Otherwise, no.

Just need one more...and it's from someone I know has been here.

Grr...

This election is the quietest in recent memory. Hardly any robocalls, no mudslinging ads...it’s a nice change.

Spoiler: How much extra everybody spent campaigning

Election (4) Results

Number of seats won in parliament per party

8 seats:

TonyMontana

4 seats:

Zang

3 seats:

Twistedspoon

3 seats:

chenhsi

3 seats:

werewolf555

2 seats:

Cogito Ergo Sum

2 seats:

gandalf5166

2 seats:

Cirno

1 seats:

Lowell

1 seats:

yabbaguy

1 seats:

Drench

Pot:

$

240m

220m

Reminder: You need at least

16

/30 seats in Parliament to form a successful coalition, but you must also have a

unanimous

agreement on how to divide the pot. The smallest denomination of money that you may use is $1m.

You may communicate via PM or this topic.

The Party of the One Ring and the Get Rid Of Slimy girls Party both have less than $20M in their coffers. As such, they both must get up to $20M or go bankrupt (which, honestly, shouldn’t be a problem for Tony).

I will have this round run for 4 days*. Communication must cease at 1pm, Thursday 24 February (EST). Then, you must PM me your coalition proposal by 1pm, Sunday 27 February.

Randomized list:
TonyMontana
Zang
Twistedspoon
chenhsi
werewolf555
Cogito Ergo Sum
gandalf5166
Twistedspoon
Cirno
Lowell
yabbaguy
Drench
