Hi all,

I am new to this game!

I am about to have my second in-game election. Now people aren't voting for me because I wasn't able to keep my promise from my last election.

I already forgot what I promised, wondering how I could somehow find out what it was.

BTW, is there any way to re-open that note-book thingy? (the notebook that appears whenever there's a decision to be made, or any events that just happened)

Thanks!

If the election ended and you didnt fill the promise, the damage is already done. they just wont believe you as much the next time you tell them something.

there isnt a list of what you talked about, But you can always use the almanac, then click on the last tab down. that has your objectives for the mission. Its over on the little menu on the left side, one of the buttons at the top does it. You should get in habit of using it.. just search through it, check lists, and politics, and even economy. It has all the info in it you need to run your island. find the happiness list, click on the unhappy people, then check their thoughts, or needs page.. see how you can make their lives better.

Are you sure about that? During the speech El Presidente always says whatever he promises will happen during his "next mandate" which would be AFTER the current election. Why would you have to complete an election promise BEFORE the current election takes place?

I thought you had to complete an election promise after the current election but before the next election......

I don't think that you can really check what election promise that you made. If you forgot what you have promised, then there isn't anything that you can do about it.

The best way to avoid this is to either have a (real )notebook with you and write it down, or choose the 'Populist' quality when you are building your avatar next time, since it will give you the advantage of not having any consequences when you don't fulfill your election promises.

Im almost possitive its durring the election.. cause if you make the promise and dont build it, you will notice that people will go back to voting for the other person.

When you complete the building before voting day, you will notice tons of people swap sides.

Im also pretty sure, there is a place that notes if you did your promise or not. I think its the last tab, there is a faction that gets unhappy if you dont fill promises, so an easy way to check is just not do it, and see if the message pops..

I think chankljp is right because I make promises that I don't fullfill untill after an election because, for example, I haven't finished building or even started building the promised armory.

I'm quite sure there was no reminder of your previous promises in the game. The people will vote for you during the election but if you don't fullfill your promise from the last election then the people are less likely to vote for you in the next one.

I didn't get the recognition for adequate housing until almost a year after election ended.

Is there any way to re-open that note-book thingy (the notebook that appears whenever there's a decision to be made, or any events that just happened) ?????????????????
Please help

if your talking about the almanac, it's a button down in the lower left corner.. I forget which one, but it's just above the mini map

No he means when you get notifactations, you can't open that, but when you get a new message you can go back (i don't think it saves more than 10 or 20 of the last messages though)

concerning the promise, you need to fulfill it AFTER the election, it will get some ppl voting for you for the election you promise it, but if you don't fulfill it until next election, than some people won't vote for you
