Just wondering how many of those "30,000 active players" could be bots? If you go to the Sexy Leaderboard and scroll to the last page, you will find hundreds, if not thousands of accounts that are obviously not real people. Their names make no sense and are often very similar. They never level up past 0 so its obvious that they aren't even completing the tutorial. And most strangely, they all seem to have an immigration date of 1/1/70 (the start of Unix time a.k.a the literal start of digital time). If obvious bots are comprising any of your "30,000" active players, I highly doubt any of us can convince them to buy a senatorship...

Some obvious bots I found:

An example of a bot with immigration date 1/1/1970:


A real player who immigrated right after the bot (note the passport number) who I watched in real time gain a profession and level up. They have a real immigration date, which is the same day I took the screenshot.

I think that makes the ratio pretty impressive. I wouldn't say it's difficult to get to level 21 but takes a bit of commitment to the site so 111 senators (now)/415 PB voters (at the time of election). A sense of commitment to your bimbo and the community has to be the main draw to become a senator and stick around IMO.

CLS - those look like AI generated accounts

I saw an analysis of this site a few months back and was surprised by one graph that showed the bulk of traffic (80%?) was web crawlers coming from Saudi Arabia. Googling it show they have a huge web crawling industry there that affects all sites...or most sites at least.

The best metric I found to measure traffic was revealed, in of all places, right here on the site.
It was the State Wars Leaderboards.
Over 9 days, 1138 distinct players who did something in the game were accounted for.

I had tried the monthly Duels Leaderboards before, and got close...but this SW one is much better.
People who do something in the game are likely to to want things like Senatorships...
Web crawlers just want...I don't know what they want...but they can, it looks like, access any page on the site.
They are probably crawling this post right now...I imagine.

A lot of my time spent as PB has been sitting down, sticking a movie on and slowly going through and banning all the bot accounts. I have thousands (that’s not an exaggeration) of bot reports to go through. Though PBs don’t often talk about it, it’s where a lot of our time is spent on the site. We obviously have a lot of other responsibilities, but when thing are quiet it’s a good time to go through as many as you can.

If 400 is a more accurate number, and I feel it is, then Naps is right that’s a good ratio. Could certainly be better, but I was working on that. We went from around 80 to around 110 when I was elected

Thank you for the insight Katie and Cherri! I know XL has always had an issue with bots and fake accounts, when I was an SM I got plenty of bot reports so I can only imagine what the PB has to put up with. Regardless of why they are crawling around, they definitely don't count as active players in any metric other than Google Analytics. I agree that looking at the weekly/monthly leaderboards on site to see how many players are actively playing the game and completing any form of in-game action is a much more reliable metric.

But of course with alt accounts now allowed, I think the ratio of senators to citizens will be even wider. I personally made an alt account after the announcement that it was allowed. It's been very fun to chase achievements, it feels like I have a reason to send my bimbo to the gym and stuff. But I have zero intention of buying a senatorship for my alt. I'm sure there are many others making new accounts that they definitely won't be buying senatorships for either, even if they pay for one on their main. There are also many many citizens who are making alts now too. Even if you could convince them to buy a senatorship or diamonds or whatever on their main, chances are certainly less they would do so on their alts. It all just feels like inflated numbers and pie in the sky dreams from Chris of earning millions monthly on his bimbo fashion game.

if you'd like to gain more senatorships you need to:

-do something about the bots issue as obviously it's very difficult for the pb to deal with alone

-treat ALL your players with respect. yes even the ugly ones

-add some new senator benefits that actually make people WANT senatorship as at the moment there aren't any benefits that are really worth it, at least in my and other players opinions

with my last point it is extremely important that you do NOT remove features for normal players as that is only a sure fire way to piss people off. some ideas off the top of my head for possible senator benefits could include

-more ways to customize your bimbo. more advanced filters, or potentially frames that can go outside of the bimbo png or frames for your forum avatar if that is possible. people go nuts for shit like this

-a room for your bimbo that you can decorate, kinda like I've heard of the old miss bimbo having. there are so many people itching to design items for this site I'm sure you could find people to draw assets for this

-a chatroom feature? something faster than a forum for senators i mean. something more casual

-pets for your bimbo that you could care for, another thing i vaguely recall hearing the old miss bimbo having

-more advanced aspects to having in game relationships with other players. maybe you could send your bimbos on dates? idk

My understanding is that Google Analytics is not necessarily tracking 30k players with accounts. To my knowledge, Google Analytics counts anyone who visited the site as a "user." People may visit this site without making an account. 

When I have used Google Analytics before, it tracked separate IP addresses. Having views from 30k IP Addresses, also does not mean 30k players. I personally will show up as more than 1 IP address because I visit the site from both home & work. If I visit the site while at a coffee shop or doctor's office, it will show up as yet another IP address, because I connected to the internet from a new location.

If a site has 30,000 players, and only 100 Senators, you work inside the game to entice more subscriptions.
If a site has only 1100 players and 100 are already Senator subscribers, that’s 10% and probably the norm for all sites. 
In that case you have to look to outside promotion.
