freethinkerland's last election (which granted wasnt exacly usual seeing as hlb was banned from the website partway through her term) only had 2 SM candidates, which was already pretty slim pickings at a level much lower than PB. like others have said, im not sure forcing people to run for PB will help this situation at all. it would definitely be helpful to have clearer guidelines of what is expected of the role, and what perks ect you receive for it, as for myself (and im sure many others) the workload does not seem worth it at this point in time.

FTL usually had more people running, sometimes up to 7-8 candidates (of which two were inactive), so last elections are kinda exception.

This may encourage having more equal numbers of population in states, instead of having 2 pretty large states and 4 small.

could explain your thinking behind that? ^^ not trying to be argumentative i just dont see how something that discourages ppl to run for SM would help balance out the states (which imo need some rehauling due to this big discrepancy you mentioned, but thats another issue entirely)

also yeah i agree the last election was unusual, but inactivity seems to be a growing trend across bl... then again maybe its too early to tell and im making a rash judgement. i just dont see how this policy is going to help the average player get more involved with the politics side of the website, as it actively discourages ppl from running

Oh, sorry, I am sleepy already... Something like this, if smaller states don't have many active players (they already have less number of players) and not so many senators, even less senators that wants to run in elections, that may attract migration perhaps, so numbers balance somehow. Big states such FTL also have a lot inactive low level players (like level between 1 and 5), but still there are a lot of active and semi-active players thus more senators. And some of them might want to run in SM elections and try for PB elections, which may make them to change states. Of course, that's just an instant speculation that may mean nothing.

The first post came across to me as a call for active senators who wants to be SMs and later PB to migrate in other states and those who don't have intention to run for PB position to restrain or running and that way make a space for these who wants to run, if that makes more sense. Idk...

Let's say I do want to be PB. So I run fro SM and if I win the SM elections then the PB elections are 2 months away. A lot can happen in 2 months. For example, one of my loved ones becomes sick or dies. I really would not want to run for PB or have the time to be one. So you might end up with a PB that is inactive. And haven't we had that before? Oh that's right, when Aesthetic became PB, she was completely inactive.

So in conclusion: Your idea is not practical at all and certainly not democratic, Miss Bimbo.

I haven't become a Senator for quite a few reasons. I have considered it many times, but there has always been something happening in BL that has prevented me in doing so and maybe this will shed some light on why others may be hesitant about paying.

First of all, the future of the site started looking shaky at best to me about a year ago and I am hesitant to invest in something with an uncertain future. That being said, TB has started listening and taking things on board, making some really amazing updates. On that front I am not as apprehensive about spending money to become a Senator (aside from the whole PayPal issue) and I am thankful for everyone who worked so hard for this to happen.

The second thing is that if I was to become a Senator, I would love to eventually take part in elections etc, however there isn't an awful lot of information as to what the expectations will be if we are in any given position. I am not saying that there needs to be a whole essay written about what our duties will be, but kind of a standard job description like what you will find in a normal job contract. And it would be incredibly useful if this information was was made available for all to see, so not just Senators, State Ministers and PB so that people can decide in advance if it will be worth it for them.

That being said, at this point in time I am incredibly happy with where the game is heading and I look forward to the new changes, so thank you for continuing to make the game better :)

As a side note, I don't think forcing people to run for PB is the solution, I think transparency is ❤️

Can't wait for four months from now when 4/6 of SMs have "don't vote for me" as their platform lol
