Whoo! I'm awake! THat means the rolls are done!
[] Ads of the future! Setting up some internet campaign infrastructure is something Chamillionare suggested. No-one else really seems to be doing it at the moment. He's suggested using twitter a lot more, organising bots to push Pataki's tweets up in the ranks… Frankly, it seems fucking ingenious to you. (Cost: 20k Chance of Success: 85% Time to Completion: 2 Weeks Result: Internet Campaigning unlocked. +2 Momentum nationwide. +Name recognition.)
Roll = 45. Initial Success. George now understands what twitter and facebook are.
[] The Pataki Elbow. Apparently the Rock has some time off his busy schedule to raise cash in Cali. He'll only do it if you can fly out and give him a hand. Apparently he's never done this before. (Cost: 15k. Chance of Success: 75% Result: Unknown (high) amount of k raised. Get to know the Rock better.)
Roll = 88. Between a Rock and the People's Place.
[] Expand the army. You've got Ground Pounders in all three starting states. It's time to start thinking bigger though. You need more men and women.More banners. More placards. More of those cheap, shitty lawn signs! Mooooooooooooore! (Cost: 30k Chance of Success: 70% Time to Completion: Two weeks. Result: Ground Campaign expanding IA, NH, SC)
Roll = 49. Recruiting begins, Lawn signs sell out.
[] The rise of state polling. You could broaden your horizons a bit, by setting up state polling in all three front-running states. It'd be expensive, but Harry is insistent that you do this. He also wants a nicer office, to better fit all the computers and shit that a pollster apparently needs. (Cost: 40k. Chance of Success: 80% Result: State Polling commenced in IA, NH, SC. -15k running costs.)
Roll = 53. State Polling set up. Next turn will have polls for IA, NH and SC regardless of public polls.
[] Expanding the machine. He's got an upgraded office, but he wants more. This time, though, it's not random comfort crap. Not mostly, at least. He wants to upgrade his tech to better keep track of goings on, and to better co-ordinate his steadily growing team of pollsters. He's mentioned that if he can get things up and running, he might be able to bring someone on board who's got more experience than the interns you throw at him. (Cost: 20k. Result: Research stat raised. Possibly friend of Enten recruited.)
Roll = 27. The machine is expanded, but Harry can't recruit his friend.
[] Practice debate. Having a few practice debates with the team should get George in the right state of mind for August. Sure, it's awhile away, but it doesn't hurt to prepare. (Debating skill increased by +10)
Critical Success. +15
[] Practice Issue familiarity. This is important for when the debate season starts, but also if you have to give interviews. Having George able to not fuck up the few interviews he will land would be a very, very good idea. (Issue Familiarity increased by +10)
Success. + 10
[] Prepare a speech. You know what fires up a crowd? A good speech. You are rising, and fast, so it can't hurt you to turbo-charge that with a big speech in one of the upcoming states! Especially with debates coming up in just over a month. You have to qualify. (Reducing Government Waste, State it will be given in. Cost: 10k Chance of Success: Varies by state. Result: Momentum greatly increased in [Iowa])
Roll = 71. Speech goes over well. Momentum raised. Pataki +6 momentum IA, Walker -1 Momentum IA.
[] Brushing up old contacts. Pataki knew a lot of people, back in the day, and his personal word carries a helluva lot more weight than yours. Maybe he can dig up some endorsers? (Cost: 10K Chance of Success: 75% Result: Endorsers found. +Momentum in State. New York)
Roll = 23. Making enemies.
[] Raise money. Libby has contacts in the beauty product industry, primarily with Revlon, as well as having ties to the pro-Israel lobby. Hopefully she can bring in some more cash for the campaign and SuperPAC with these people(Cost: Free. Chance of Success: 50% Result:
Roll = 47. Failure.
