EDIT: According to my count, Sandi was competing against 9 other bimbo's, so 33% makes sense.
With a total of 10 candidates, at least 33% is somewhat notably above statistical expectations support. 33% in a field of 4 would be worse.

Actually there were 4 candidates in my state including me. But on another note, there may be about 15 active players in my state. Who cares about the percentages? Those don't really show anything. Especially if we don't get to see what the other candidates have gotten. Only the results with ALL candidates with the amount of votes each got would give us a real insight. Thanks for posting the results anyway Iulja :)

Awww shit, I totally forgot to consider that you can voluntarily opt out of elections, didn't take that into account. Sorry for my error.
I just figured that your electoral program coupled with your good reputation was a factor as well. That, and if your election looked anything like ours, some of the other folks programs were... I'll be nice and just say VAGUE. :P
Either way, congrats to you and all our our SM's, new and old!

Hmm. Both the number of candidates in Freethinkerland and the somewhat close race in Antitheocra suggest that if the p̶l̶a̶y̶e̶r̶ ̶b̶a̶s̶e̶ citizenry payer base were to significantly expand, the ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶ republic should consider adopting an electoral process that's a bit more democratic than the British or American one, with a run-off that will at least allow the unrepresented majority to decide which not-their-candidate they consider the lesser evil.

I mean, there's no point in trying to call it an 'internet republic' instead of a game unless it actually involves dealing with questions of how a good democractic system might work, as opposed to just assuming the system the developers grew up with is best.

I think you put a lil' too much weight on the political side of the game Favea :P and I don't mean that in a bad way I promise! It's just, a lot of people here just wanna dress up, play forum games and chat (myself included). The political side of Bimboland is faaar in the back as a priority to me ^^

I also think you overestimate how people look at the elections. Because most regard it as just another fashion contest. And for that matter a Sate Minister is just a token function. State Ministers hold no real power besides having the option to put citizens from their state to jail. And you can change things in the manifest. But that's it. Even the Prime Bimbo really holds no power, because if team bimbo says no then what can the Prime Bimbo do?

Also, nah, I'm not really putting too much weight on the political side of the game, though my research indicates someone seems to have had a bit of a meltdown over people not taking that aspect seriously back in 2016. My interest is mostly in whether the designers at any point actually truly intended for the politics side to be a serious thing, and if so, when and how it went wrong. I mean, beyond the politics always being in essence a popularity contest thing, which should be even harder to counteract in a context that has popularity contests as a core mechanic of the game/virtual second life/whatever.
