I was playing the game and following the convention my funds were reset to $84MM, but i had more than that in my funds. How do I turn that off?
Hi Chad,
At the beginning of the turn, after you party’s convention, you will be asked whether you want to accept public financing or not. Click ‘No’ to keep the amount of money you currently have (and be able to fundraise during the general election).
Hi, downloaded the demo via link from Democracy 2 website. Game looks fascinating. Had a question. How is the complexion of the electorate created? Meaning, how are the issues of importance and the division of views generated and broken down among the states and the people within? Typically current events influence priorities etc. In the 2008 election cycle terrorism had a much smaller weight than in 2004.
Thanks in advance.

What is the difference between the 2008 edition and the 2008 Wonk edition?
Hi Dave,
From Version Information ( http://theoryspark.com/help/political_games/president_forever/version-information/ ):
United States - 2008 - Wonk Edition which is completely revamped and enhanced from the 2008 scenario and includes:
new candidates
new issues
new ad types
new events
more realistic percentages
and more
Hi Frank,
The electorate is modeled regionally (by state), including issue centers and percentages. Issue profiles are national.
These can all change due to various events or player actions during the election. They change based on the scenario year as well.
I keep getting acess violations. Any advice?
Yes, send us an e-mail ( http://www.theoryspark.com/interact/contact.htm ) with a detailed description of the problem you are experiencing.

I recently bought your game and I love it,but I haven’t gotten the 1960 scenario with Nixon and Kennedy.I do have the 1.6.0.6 version,is there something I need to update or I am I missing something?
Hi Parker,
The 1960 scenario has been delayed several times. I can’t say when it will be released. We will announce it on the forum ( http://80soft.ipbhost.com ) or you can sign up to be notified here:
