Is This Partisan?

The short answer, and exactly why.

2 min read

People ask this before they sign up, and teachers ask before they bring it to class. It is a fair question. Lex has a straight answer.

Is Fantasy Government partisan? A yes vote and a no vote earn the same points, both sides are weighed equally on a balanced scale, and only the work is counted, with Lex. Yea Nay +2 = +2 Yes or no, same points Either side, weighed the same Only the work counts
A yes and a no score the same. Both sides, weighed equally.

Why we can say that

  • A yes vote and a no vote earn the same points.
  • A bill from either party scores the same at every stage.
  • The cross-party bonus rewards reaching across the aisle in either direction.
  • The engine reads activity, never party or position.

What it means in class

A student who drafts only their home-state members, or a roster split across both parties, plays the same game. The lesson is how Congress works, not who is right.
