GTA role-players’ first state election nearly went off the rails
Share this story
In the New Day roleplay server of
Grand Theft Auto Online, people take things like civil government very seriously. The race to select a new governor was tough. In one corner, there was Charlie Bradstock, the heir to a big arms company, who naively figured he could use his business experience to run a state and sell his goods at the same time. His opponent was Andrew McKinley, the ambitious Chief Justice who swore to overhaul the criminal code and improve security.
New Day is a relatively new server that focuses on relatively serious stories. The prestigious position of governor allows a character to weigh in on which server features and policies are brought before the legislature. But May’s first election for the government of San Andreas quickly turned into a weekend-long crisis of accusations, heated press conferences, and protests outside City Hall and the police department.
