Hello everyone :)
First of all, I want to wish you happy holidays no matter which ones you celebrate! Hope you all have a good time.

This is the topic I wished to open for quite some time and finally that time has come. I am curious about your opinions on having senator subscription, from both perspectives - as a senator and as a citizen. A lot of us tried both so I'll start with myself.
At some point I was subscribed for about 1,5 year in a row. It got canceled when my card expired and then I took a break. Here and there I used to buy a monthly subscription and cancel it, then after a few months I used to do the same thing again. It was that way mostly because my incomes haven't been stable all the time. That being said, I like the bonuses I get as a senator. On the other hand I can live pretty well as a citizen only as well. It really helps that I bought all outfits and artifacts slots with diamonds so during the times when I am not senator I still have them. My favorite senator perk is being able to have max time for city activities instead of 4hrs of work and 3hrs of fitness/beauty salon/library in a row and spending less energy. I often forget to vote in fights and debates and also don't play games frequently so these benefits are often left unused for me. These bonuses are valuable as well and I like having the opportunity for more votes and games daily even then when I miss to use them. Having an opportunity for more is always welcome of course and the way how we deal with it is our business.

Here is the list of senator perks.
Image

- If you are a senator, what perk do you appreciate the most? If you are a citizen, which perk seems the most appealing to you that would make you wish to subscribe?
- As a senator, are there some new perks you would like to have and experience?
- As a citizen, is there some new perk that doesn't exist already, that would turn you into a senator?
- Question for both citizens and senators - Do you think that subscription is expensive, cheap or it has just the right price for what it offers?
- Do you think that some senator bonuses that already exist could be enhanced?
- Senators, would you like to have something special and exclusive for you? Almost all perks that you have are available to citizens too, except the ability to participate in elections. Citizens can do and have almost all the same stuff you do, it is just less or costs a bit more, but it is still available to all. So, would you like to have something special only available to you? Do you think it would be right?
- Citizens, related to ^, what do you think about that? Do you think it would be right that senators have something extra and exclusive for $10 monthly? If there were something like that, would it make being a senator more appealing to you, ie. would you pay the current price in order to have that 'special something'?

There are a lot of questions, but I am really curious and interested in hearing your opinions and thoughts on that. And ofc, I would like to see more questions opened on this topic, whatever comes to your mind. What do you think about the current senatorship system both as senators and citizens? Do you think it needs some updates, changes, new features? What would make it more exciting and appealing? Do you think it would change game dynamics and if yes, how - for good or for bad?


P.S. Please don't mix this topic with Suggestions for improving BL. Suggestions thread is for general suggestions for the whole BL and it includes many various topics. This thread is meant to be only about senator subscription, its dynamic, suggestions and ideas for senatorhip and stuff related to this topic only.

I enjoy the Senator perks as they are, I do however feel that enhancements would make more people consider buying one. I manage very well as a Citizen and have only experienced senatorship through having them gifted to me or using artefacts (Holy Grail). I find that the most useful thing about being a senator is the ability to earn more tokens. Tokens are very useful so maybe enhancements in these somehow would encourage more citizens to buy senatorship. One of the drawbacks of senatorship is the time you need to be able completely make use of all the perks. Time for me is often limited on BL so I don't always have time to do all the things I can while having a senatorship. Not sure what you can do about that though.

i think personally my favorite perk is the extra outfit slots. i think having like different categories that only senators can use for their outfits for fights would be cool. I think the current price is high for what you get, but that may be because i dont use all of it to its fullest. i think we should get more opinions on that. it would also be cool to have a senator only artifact, that gives some perk that wouldn't apply to citizens

I agree and feel with both of you...
I often don't use all perks to the max, but ofc it's personal thing and as Janeze said sometimes it is about the time. So certainly don't complain about it, if I forget to vote it's on me, but perk is still there.
Senators only artifacts sound cool to me, tho not sure if citizens would like it. While on the other hand it could motivate them to try senatorship.
Some of my ideas were
- having some items for senators only, but if someone buy them while being a senator these items stay with them when they quit with senatorship. Or perhaps, they disappear but appear again when they become senators again.
- being able to move from one state to another for free or for less price (tho changing states exists already)
- some special currency for senators, beside b$ and Ds
- maybe having more duels for the same time, or bigger duels prize
- having some extra artifacts slots
....

More outfits categories sounds cool as well, tho it would probably mean adding more slots.

I think the perks that appeal the most to me (the ones I like using a senator artifact for) are the less energy spent when doing stuff, the extra votes/tokens and the no limit on selling items.   

I like the idea of a senator only currency or changing states for free or a discount. 

Currently a monthly subscription is about $10.13 CAD which is a bit expensive for me as my job only pays min wage. Maybe one idea, if its possible to do, is to do what some sites do and have a cheaper senator and a more expensive "premium" senator which has more additional perks/value. It might make more people want to try being a senator?

I cancelled my subscription after the SM election because that was my primary goal with the subscription this time. I don't think the perks are particularly interesting, and I don't think giving senators more duels, for example, is a good idea since senators already have more ways to make money then non-senators. If we gave senators more duels, non-senators would never be in the top 5 and would thus never win the weekly duel reward.

I am lucky that I don't have to work for minimum wage like some people, but the price tag is still pretty high when you consider it's the same price as Spotify or Netflix.

Personally I think lowering the price would be a great idea- it’s real expensive for the type of site it is. Either that or add more appealing features and bonuses for subscribers. 
Currently I feel no actual desire to subscribe for senatorship, the only feature I’d like would be the outfit slots and maybe the discounts that they can get, but over wise as a pretty casual player I don’t care about debates or fights, I’d just like to make outfits and have fun. 
So for me, senatorship seems costly for not a lot I want but that’s just my personal opinion.

I wouldn't mind senators getting additional privileges, but having senator only items in the store or senator only categories would be way too much and kill the game for citizens. Also senators getting to play more duels would make sense, but then it would be literally impossible for citizens to get any money from their weekly and monthly positions in duels and getting money while being a citizen is already hard enough and takes a lot of gridning.

That makes sense, it's not good to have big disbalance between paying and non-paying players, it would turn into pay-to-play type of thing. Tho I had much better duels stats at the time when I wasn't senator and when my bimbo desperately needed every b$ or D she could have earned. Then I played duels because of that. Later when I had enough I stopped playing duels unless they were in a daily task. But that's just me, other players play duels regularly, no matter of they are senators or citizens. 

Currently I feel no actual desire to subscribe for senatorship, the only feature I’d like would be the outfit slots and maybe the discounts that they can get, but over wise as a pretty casual player I don’t care about debates or fights, I’d just like to make outfits and have fun.
Buying slots for diamonds is good investment. That way you always have them, being subscribed or not.

Maybe one idea, if its possible to do, is to do what some sites do and have a cheaper senator and a more expensive "premium" senator which has more additional perks/value. It might make more people want to try being a senator?
This sounds interesting!
