An idea I had regarding that came from one of the mutators of Unreal Tournament 2004, which let you air-jump 2 extra times. Without mentioning it, it also made the mid-air jumps slightly higher than usual.

Here that would mean that during Supreme Court No-purge, the replacement chance would be 60% (or higher).

(The President has only half a say to the senate's other half. I've noticed that if both amendments are passed within 4 years, new justices are just conservative.)

UT2k4, another happily unrealistic game.  Good place for inspiration.

I like this idea, but 60% seems an unrealistically* high turnover rate.  Maybe 30-40% would be better if it's a straight-up check.  If the Justices have actual character stats (I doubt it, given that the Executive Branch doesn't), having retirement/death checks for age might be a useful thing, too.

*I know, Hollywood Reality.  Problem is, even Hollywood doesn't purge the SupCt unless US civilization falls, and LCS doesn't go that far.

Yet...

I don't know if its been suggested before, and I don't want to clutter up the boards with a new thread, but how about business fronts bringing in an income, based on how many liberals you assign to work at it. If that sounds a bit overpowered, then what about the more people working at it, the likelier to attract police attention it is (after all, its only a business front).

Then again, working at the business may seem very conservative, but it might be the liberal ends justify the conservative means.

Yeah, I've been experimenting with different start ups, but I haven't found any I liked. I prefer to have a leader who can seduce and persuade if possible.

Any suggestions?
