Favourite Worst Nightmare

Dearest citizens of Bimboland,

I have received many complaints about the recent site changes that I wish to address with Team Bimbo. I have created this thread so we can discuss these concerns further. Many of you may have noticed that Atheista has turned gold since the election. In addition to this celebratory, but tacky new look, the citizens of Atheista have received many other perks that will last the entirety of my term. This was an unannounced and unexpected update that has never occurred after any previous elections.
These perks include:

• 10% more vanity for 4 months
• 10% more fitness for 4 months
• 10% more superficiality for 4 months
• B$ 5000
• 100 diamonds
• a small chest

While this may seem like a nice bonus, this is actually very problematic and unfair because people will now be incentivized to vote exclusively for their own state. This will very likely have devastating consequences on future elections.

Due to the large gap in population distribution across states, this new update will skew future Prime Bimbo results toward the two most populated states - Atheista and Freethinkerland, who have four to five times the number of citizens as the remaining states. This creates an unfair system because the smaller states will not be able to compete. Quite frankly, Secville, Antitheocra, Reasonopia, and Agnostica will never have a fair chance in future elections.
Additionally, not all State Ministers want to run for Prime Bimbo. This means that their states automatically lose the ability to get perks. Citizens should not be punished because their State Minister chooses not to run, and State Ministers should not feel pressured to run just so their state can get extra perks.

It was much better in the past when the new Prime Bimbo was celebrated with shop sales and extra perks that were available to all players for a few days following the election. No one should be left out.
If Team Bimbo wants to have a way for citizens of the Prime Bimbo's state to celebrate in their state exclusively, my idea is to keep the gold colors only and have a craze (sales and perks) for everyone in Bimboland. The craze could last for a week and that's how long the gold colors should last too.

Since I represent all of Bimboland, I cannot stand for this unfairness and I urge Team Bimbo to resolve this.
Please, dear citizens, make your voices heard here too.

I totally agree with what you said. Future elections won't mean anything anymore like this.

I knew that you wouldn't let us down Favourite Worst Nightmare ♥ I couldn't agree more with this statement, truly. It is not fair and opens doors for things like the one you cited (voting only for your state representative, and even those with a smaller population will be penalized) to happen. Bimboland is a place of distraction, of fun and joy, the community is incredible here. It would be a pity that this "competitiveness" took over. In reality, it wouldn't even be possible to call it competitiveness, it would be a tough rivalry.

This update also comes with a change that increased the cost of moving states from 5000 B$ (an already exorbitant amount to be sure) to 1000 diamonds. What FWN says is 100 % true. I see this change breed a ton of resentment between members of Atheista and Freethinkerland depending on whose SM wins the PB election (because like FWN said, only those two can compete realistically), while also supporting hostility towards both states from the other, less represented states. 

Elections should encourage people to read the candidates' programs and decide which they most agree with and support, not check if their color corresponds with the candidate's. There should be a post-election craze and there shouldn't be benefits for only one small part of the game's playerbase for four months based on one event. 

I fully support your suggestions and protest, FWN! :) ♥

Maybe the bonuses could be awarded to those who take the time to vote? That way there is a reason for it but it's not specifically for just the state who won.

Everything that concerns me about this update has been voiced here beautifully. It sucks that the first fair elections in Bimboland I've witnessed might end up being the last. I appreciate the work that goes to the upkeep of this site, and the effort to keep this site fresh, but omg!

Team Bimbo. You have State Ministers, a Prime Bimbo and a bunch of volunteers who also work to keep this site fun and relevant, who would have told you how this new update would end up harming the election system, if you would have asked. I feel like you guys really should open up communication between each other about gameplay updates, so you can talk to people who play the game and thus understand how changes will affect the way people play.

I completely agree with this and think it's a great idea. Maybe an exclusive 'I voted,' item might be cute as well.
