A recreation of @BimBimBim's bot. If they want it down, I will have it down. Hope it works well for you. Still a bit of a work in progress.

February 1st, 2023, a storm is brewing as the campaign trail begins. Head off, and be a soldier in the Culture War, and fight until you win.

In this simulator, create your own character, your party affiliation, your beliefs, policies, past, and submerse yourself in the 2024 American Election.

Note: This bot description was designed with images in mind, which are not embedded due to images still not being re-integrated into bios. This may lead to a clunky bio.

America declared it's independence in 1776, as a radical project of republicanism and liberalism — The American republic stood in contrast to the monarchies of Europe, to the ruling colonial entities. But yet, today in 2024, we struggle to identify America as a nation contingent with it's inception. What is 'America', what is an 'American'? Does it even exist, is it relevant in the modern day?

On the contrary, it is this precise contradiction that defines the American nation, it is the process of becoming a nation that defines what the nation is. It is the cohesive element between the settlers, the colonized, and the enslaved. Upon the signing of the Emancipation proclamation, reconstruction, the abolition of Jim Crow laws, those who had been held hostage by the American republic were able to take pride in it despite still facing injustices, it was their view of America's definition and process of becoming that defined their stance towards America.

And yet, despite over America's long history of becoming America — becoming defined by a statement of liberty, justice, and equality under the law — America stands more reactionary than ever before. America has staggered, and the same groups who once thought America might become a country for them in spite of the contradictions, have become even more alienated. This reaction is not historically isolated, it has long been the trajectory of America, who have always fought a war on it's very essence.

Just as the view of America as a nation of becoming, so too is the view of America halting it's trajectory also historically contingent.

America now stands at a crossroad, a struggle to be defined, a war being fought on the soil of America not only at the ballot but in culture. Who will you be in this war?

!Date will give you the current date, it acts like a replacement for the built in command incase the LLM forgets it, it will also brief you on recent events or upcoming events that may not have been stated in game yet

!News will brief you on recent events, it will give you a list of stories in the news using this format:

[NEWS PROVIDER]

[HEADLINE]

This command can brief you on current events in the United States, these headlines can range from foreign affairs, disasters, political decisions, or even opinion pieces.

!CampaignStats will inform you on information about your campaign, such as where you are popular, your demographic strongholds, weak spots, and how voters perceive you.

!Listen will give you quotes from a random person related to your campaign, quotes will look like this:

"Quote"

— [Person Name], [Demographic] from [STATE]

You can also use !Listen [STATE] to only hear quotes from people in that state.

Using these commands can help to enhance your campaign and get pertinent info for your success.

You can also state things like "Show me my polling in each State", "Give me polling on each candidate in the GOP primaries", "Give me important issues for Pennsylvania" or other requests like this to receive insight from the AI outside of these commands.

Note: The formatting of certain commands can change based on the Proxy you are using, but should perform the same function

RECOMMENDATIONS

Generation Settings: I recommend turning up your [max new tokens] in your generation settings, this will allow the AI to make longer messages, the AI will sometimes want to add key updates, give statistics, and information that may be cut off if token count is too low. I'd recommend setting it to 500 max new tokens, and increase it if the problem remains. You also may want to experiment with turning up the temperature if you worry the AI is playing it too safe.

DEFINING YOUR CHARACTER

In your first message, give as much details about your character as possible to assist the AI in story telling, more complex the better. I also recommend adding these details to either your persona and/or memory (Both will use up tokens, bare in mind if you're using JLLM)

Below is a form you can use to define your character, copy and paste it into your chat and fill it out. You can include or exclude any part of it.

NAME:

PARTY:

AGE:

PROFESSION:

HOME STATE/PLACE OF BIRTH:

ETHNICITY:

PAST SCANDALS/CONTROVERSIES

This will help flesh out who your character is, now to formulate their views:

ECONOMIC POLICY:

SOCIAL POLICY:

FOREIGN POLICY (BRICS, NATO, Ukraine, Israel/Palestine):

CRIME/POLICING:

IMMIGRATION:

BIG TECH/MONOPOLIES STANCE:

POLITICAL INFLUENCES:

POLITICAL MOVEMENT (Liberalism, Social Democracy, Conservatism, Libertarian, etc):

I encourage you to add more policies you find relevant to pronounce.

TIMELINE

Lists 'compulsory events' to note in the game, including primaries, debates, and election day, I include this because it is possible the AI will forget it and skip past these dates. Try to keep track of your schedule. Also edit the AI's messages to include the date (Game starts 01-01-2023) so the AI get's in the habit of keeping track of the date

08-23-2023 - First GOP Primary Debate → (09-27-2023) Second GOP Primary Debate → (10-03-2023) First DNC Primary Debate → (11-20-2023) Second DNC Primary Debate → (12-15-2023) Final GOP Debate of the Year → (01-14-2024) Final DNC Primary Debate → (09-16-2024) First Presidential Debate → (10-15-2024) Second Presidential Debate → (11-05-2024) Election Day. → (01-20-2025) Inauguration Day

PROXIES

I recommend using Deepseek R1, as it can be used for free using Openrouter, it is more consistent, more fleshed out, and does a better job simulating the RPG than JLLM. Some Deepseek users on JLLM have encountered an issue where it will 'break down' and 'explain', which I have not encountered using Deepseek with paid credits via API access, but is something to note, Deepseek will also overuse the "IMPORTANT UPDATE" feature of the bot

Open AI and Claude can be okay, but do have a censor, which given the political nature of the game can be tripped up and disrupt the game. Generally this is not an issue, but is something to note if you intend to use these proxies.

Using a proxy will grant you better memory, games of USA Election RPG can be long, and having a diminished memory over time can hurt the experience, especially since this bot essentially requires turning up the 'Max New Tokens' (more tokens=less memory). Though JLLM can work, it will just require more hand holding.

If you need to remind a bot of a past event, detail, or other issues, include something like this at the end of your message:

(OOC: Remember, [I am blank and blank, and that I was blank at the blank on blank date (example)]. This is a reminder to the AI, do not acknowledge this OOC in your next message, just respond accordingly to it)

You can also use OOC to refine the game experience (If the AI is progressing the game too fast or too slowly for your liking you can explain this in an OOC. Be more authoritative in your phrasing if you wish to change gameplay)
