Having a three-day craze for everyone is not a fix. It's putting a band-aid on a bullet wound.

If the Prime Bimbo's state still receives extra perks for four months then the elections are still incentivized and fairness and fun are lost. I'm losing hope that this issue will be fairly resolved before the next PB election. 

Team Bimbo, will you be removing the 4-month perks before the next election or not? Is fixing this a work in progress or are you seriously going to just throw a three-day craze at this and walk away?

Please, communicate with us. If I can't get transparency from you, I'm keeping my money and walking away for good.

EDIT: I am not even proposing that the current perks Atheista got be taken away. This could be remedied by giving all players the same benefits for the rest of FWN's term. I just SERIOUSLY NEED assurance that special, state-specific, 4-month-long perks will not happen after the next election or any other future election ever again.

Wow. We have crazes. So what? Nothing have been changed. Still one state has higher privilages than the others and it still will have impact for the future election. It's like repairing a broken car with a duct tape. Dear Team Bimbo, are you f****ing kidding us? What are you trying to do? To treat us like a band of idiots or to show us that someone should come back to the primary school and learn reading comprehension?

Seriously!

it's honestly insulting that team bimbo does these things while refusing to make any sort of statement about it all. they do realize we are paying them, right? a craze is nice but it's by no means a fix for this problem. i really don't see the point in this awful lack of transparency unless they're actually trying to stir the pot. and i don't pay people to screw with me. we need someone from team bimbo to say something publicly. this is ridiculous

If you take the stuff in this post from Miss Bimbo in 2011 as the current stance (since it hasn't been updated and the trend seems to stick, I guess) we'll never get it. Which I think is a horrible mistake because they could easily make far more money and gather a wider player-base if they acted less like twats and committed to transparency, communication, and uhhh... not treating us (who to them can be potential customers) like ants?

i dont have a problem giving money to trolls, half the people i watch on youtube are considered trolls, i pay for youtube premium so that i can support them even when they get demonetized. i've donated to kiwifarms even. but if team bimbo's actual response to "this new update makes the game less fun" is shut up and give me more money, then?? no? why should i? and it seems a lot of people in this thread agree. but let's hope that's not the case here and we see something change, even if silently. like i said i'll pay them until the next prime bimbo election but if the game's still lame then, i'll spend my extra $20 a month on microtransations in animal crossing instead. i don't pay people to screw with me

i'm not going to delete my account, i like the forums and the friends i've made here. but this update really breaks the game aspect and i'm not paying money to talk to my friends on a broken forum centered around a half-assed political system. you're right that they could earn a lot more (especially after the viral tumbr thing) if they weren't such twats. but that's their business i guess. their social experiment will tell them that they suck hard with politics, that's for sure

lmao they Swear they're doing something special and it's not a dress up game with a forum. i get that years ago they could've had issues with not figuring out how to make things work even though other sites were doing it back then too but it's 2020. there are very clear ways to make an online game profitable.

the way they speak to people and the things they expect are so bizarre to me. especially since they already had to shut everything down once you'd think they would learn from their mistakes. they have dedicated players, they just got an influx of new ones and for some crazy reason the community is amazing even though the site could be a breeding ground for *gamer voice* toxicity.
i get that the team is small and they're probably busy with their own day to day so constant communication may be out of the picture, but even just having a middle man that they can give bullet points to and then they can relay a full message to the users would change so much i feel like. there's nothing that makes you lose your audience like keeping them in the dark. especially(!) those that are paying you.

like, i said this earlier but most of us come on here to have fun and some escapism. i thought it was a cute little gimmick at first but they actually seem to want to push this republic thing when like....we also all have our own lives and i can assure them people will not live vicariously through a site called bimbo land. their little performance art is so off putting and not to even mention the unnecessary antagonizing of their players. (maybe it's better that they don't talk to people anymore since that was their tone.) like there's already a beautiful community on here that does so much for the site so just listen to them. ✧・゚:*✧・゚:*symbiosis*:✧*:・゚✧

edit: added some spaces in the block text, just cause i'm mentally ill doesn't mean i need to sound like it

It is very sad and conserns me that there is no actual communication from the team. It reminds me the bad days of Miss Bimbo. Old players might also remember, that suddenly A Black Bimbo appeared that hacked the site, sending cursing emails and so on. Team did nothing that time. The worst thing for us the players was that some months later the site just went down in one night without any warning. And of course after they had gained some montly subscriptions.
As far as I know the owners are still the same. Correct me plz if I am wrong.So for me little has to do if we will receive awards too, though this the right way. To be fair to everyone. My biggest concern is that I see some repeated mistakes as then and that one day they would just get this site down without any further warning and information.

This poem is from the lovely Mawesmazing.

An answered prayer and joyful sound, whenever I see this beauty;
Now as the angels praises have resound, saying "You're so pretty".
Greatly my heart has been filled like a cup bearing the delicious wine;
Ethereal human being for when hands touch, as it intertwines.
Like the calming sea as it led the sailor's home;
I am at ease whenever you would roam;
Never have I ever met someone who is beautiful like you;
Angelina, my dear, you are a blessing to anyone who have met you. :)




Thank you so much Mawesmazing !!!!!

The politics thing is so bizarre because it's clearly barely a part of the game for most users. But if the team WANTED politics to become more prominent feature of the game, this is was the wrong way to do it because as everyone has SAID, the update disincentives users to actually care about candidate platforms. 

But I like how the results of this particular "social experiment" was just users, including those to benefited from the updated, all coming together to promote fairness and equality in the game! That's kind of nice.
