and sweetasnuts, i'm also pleasantly surprised by your grace with losing the election and the changes made to the site. i think it's very becoming of you to show growth and willingness to change the site. thank you for helping bimboland flourish :)
I lost the election and I can only presume it is because more people wanted to follow Cherri's manifesto than wanted o follow mine. If you look at my manifesto I make it very clear that I don't like over governance or over complication of rules. I was hoping that policy would be enough to get me into power but it didnt work and so I respect the vote and respect Cherrsis right to implement her rules. Not hat I agree with all of them but they are what they are. I will run again in May and who knows maybe my manifesto will prove to be more popular then?
I am taking it that you also wish to see a more simplified Ximboland Auntie? If so I look forward to your support in May or I look forward to seeing you run on a freedom of speech ticket to the Pink House.
In the meantime I see no point in moaning about a government doing exactly what they said they would do in any place other than the new politics section that will arrive soon. That place will be protected by the President and we are free to hold the government to account.
So lets now get on and try and build Ximboland and make it a better place.
Here are some positive goals I would like to see achieved from the government of the day -
a) Treasury growth measured by money in treasury or as I put in my manifesto = the 1000 senator target.
We need a 1000 senator army to financially and politically support Ximboland so please let the government be judged on this metric. Please lets all be unashamedly assertive in encouraging all ximbos who can afford it to become senators. Its is a clear win win for everyone involved as you know 33% of that money will go direct to the PB/government
https://ximbo.land/pink-house
You can se ethe number of senators here - its hovering at around 100. Thats great! But we need more
b) Communication growth measured by an increase in forum posts
If government are kind and welcoming to New Ximbos then we will get more happy people and more posts and more loyal Ximbos
https://ximbo.land/pink-house
You can see the stats here about the number of posts per PB term. We are down from our previous years recently.
c) population growth
More users = more people. If the population increases it means we are alive and kicking and government is doing something right. Again you can see population figures.
d) Fashion growth = measured by how many shop workers or funky new clothes we have available.
All of these are metrics by which we can measure a government. I would urge the government to not get caught up in petty crime and to concentrate on the bigger picture and I would urge citizens to let the government get on with things. We voted them in so we now must trust them and let them get on with things and not waste their time with petty grievances and squabbles.
Does anyone have any other positive measures by which we can measure our government(s)?
