Dear citizens of
Many of you already are aware that the elections of State Minister aren't far away. They are taking place of 1st December

Hope that everyone who intends to run have already made their election campaign and are ready to post it below in this thread for other state members to read and ask questions about them if needed.
To those who didn't know about elections or haven't still made their mind about running fear not, there is still time to do it ^_^
I want to encourage anyone who thinks they have something to offer and who is energetic enough to try your hand in running in this election. Being an SM is wonderful experience. You get to host events, interact with many different people from your state and also the rest of Pink House members. State Minister position brings a lot of joy.

Couple of things to consider if you intend to run:
1) In order to run, you have to be a paying senator (no artifacts)

2) You have to write a program and click the check box to confirm you are participating

Image

3) Your programs will be visible for the public eyes from the 15th this month

4) Of course, you can add or edit your program later as well, but keep in mind that you won't be able to make any changes during the last 6 hours prior to elections. It also means you can't apply during that time if you haven't already nor to cancel your participation if you have already applied.

5) If you get elected as SM you will have to be a paying senator during the whole term - 4 months

6) If your senatorship gets canceled for one or another reason, you are losing SM status within 7 days and your state is going to be without SM until the next elections. During these 7 days you can renew your senatorship and continue to be SM.

7) If you are SM you are eligible to participate in PB elections

8) As SM you are also expected to be active and available both for your citizens and other PH members, as well as to do duties that come with the title. Even it might sound a bit too serious, being SM is actually quite fun and enjoyable :)


Tools that goes with SM role:
- As SM you are able to jail citizens in your state for 1 or 3 days
- You receive messages from Bimbo Mailman when citizens from your state get reported (note: you receive profile reports, not forum posts reports, and you don't know who is the reporting player)
- You are able to make pop-up posts in your town hall
- And, probably the most interesting of all, you are able to gift any citizen :) SMs can share gifts for posts/entries in Fashion & Forum contests and their own Town Halls, including 20 last threads in total. Keep in mind that prizes currency are diamonds only. It means, even if you decide to gift ticket or a chest, you need to pay for it in diamonds.
If you need more info on these topics you can talk to your SM or me. Here are listed basic and most important points.
(Thank you to LillyAnn for allowing using her material from previous elections.)

In short, what is expected from you in case if you get elected as State Minister.
- Helping your state citizens with problems, questions they might have.
- Organizing state activities.
- Trying to keep your state town hall lively.
- Work together with rest Pink House members to make the site enjoyable for other site members.
- Considering running in next Prime Bimbo elections.

Remember to be respectful towards each other.
Good luck to everyone who is ready to step up  ^-^
Love, Blecky ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

(I don't know why I made this art. I just did)

♥ Hey, citizens of Antitheocra! I hope you’re all having a good day! ♥

My name is V or Polly (either is fine) and I’ll be running for State Minister this election!

I joined Ximboland this summer and have been around for about half a year now, and from moment one I have been absolutely amazed by the incredible user base and community present on this site, especially in Antitheocra! Our current SM, Melpomene, has hosted so many creative and wonderful contests and activities, and the community and state pride built by our users, SM, and generals during State Wars was unmatched! I really, really love this state and, if elected, would love to contribute more to this amazingly artistic, unique, and inspiring community. We are small but mighty!!

If you just want to read the short version of my SM goals and objectives, skip to the end!

Here’s a little about me (facts may vary in relevance):

★ I’m 25 years old, married, and based in the US (PST time zone), with three cats and two small dogs!

★ I use primarily they/them pronouns, but any are fine <3

★ I’m an artist, writer, and community organizer based in the US, currently working in the realm of health justice and public health!

★ I’m an Enneagram 4w5, Aries Sun, Virgo Rising, and Sagittarius Moon, and my MBTI is INFJ, if those matter to anyone ;) If you’re curious about Enneagram, I would love to talk to you about it — it’s one of my big passions!

★ I am allergic to pineapple, rose (the flavor), Tajin (the spice), and something in Pop Tarts name brand but not generic (?????)

★ I collect vintage Polly Pocket compacts (hence the username)

★ In relation to our state sport, I love roller skating but sadly have never played roller derby due to my high capacity to bruise at even the slightest bump (I am an enormous clutz)

★ My interests include drawing, crafts of all kinds, writing and playing TTRPGs, poetry, psychological horror, fancy coffee, baking, and visiting new places with my spouse. Oh, and Ximboland! I’m here literally all the time and I have a ton of love for this site and its users.

My qualifications:

★ I have previously been a mod for a Discord server of ~100 people

★ I’m a current IRL community organizer and have previously worked in data analysis and as an office manager, so I’m a very organized person with a history of project-planning and managing large groups. Also, I recently completed my Master’s degree, which is relevant because it shows my capacity to handle stress and large workloads, because grad school is basically the Dark Souls of real life :’)

★ Since joining, I have been very active in all of Antitheocra’s contests, the XL Discord, and in the forums more widely!

★ I am currently organizing a Secret Santa Art Exchange for visual artists on Ximboland! If you like to draw (regardless of skill level), I highly encourage you to join us! The form to participate closes November 25th, so make sure to fill it out before then.

★ I love to draw and have several submitted and in-process designs for the shop!

★ I am always striving to be an empathetic, supportive, friendly, and socially-aware presence both on Ximboland and in my life offline!

Goals (the long version):

★ Continuing the tradition of monthly fashion contests for users from Antitheocra, with banners for all contest winners!

★ Hosting at least one non-outfit-related contest or challenge open to all states each month! I’m especially excited about challenges with an inclusive, creative, accessible flair like Blecky89’s December Photography Challenge from last year.

★ Awarding prizes to active users registered on the Birthday Board on their birthdays

★ Creating space and community for the creative work of users inside and outside Antitheocra, including special exchanges and challenges open to all forms of creatives (writing, visual art, graphic design, photography, etc)!

★ Watching out for bullying, harassment, and toxicity on the site and in the forums at large, but especially in Antitheocra! This state (and this site!) should be a safe and inclusive place for all.

★ Being a safe space for state users (and any users, really) who need support and are having a difficult time on the site or in their lives in general. The internet and the world can be an upsetting place, and I really want to have an open-door policy in DMs for anyone in need of a helping hand!

★ Related to the above note, it would be really fun to have some kind of thread for posting short, easy, accessible, and free or cheap self-care and wellness tips every few days or at least every week (for me, at least, though other people would be welcome and encouraged to suggest their own ideas)

★ Creating a forum thread where Antitheocrans can share their life achievements and where we can all publicly celebrate each other! Got a new promotion, graduated from university, got an A in a class, celebrated an anniversary with a partner, won an award, or something else? Let’s talk about it!!

★ Highlighting a Ximbo from Antitheocra each week who has been active, helpful, and/or friendly in the community recently and providing a banner and prize (TBD) for this! Life happens, obviously, and so if this ever slips past me on a week-to-week basis I will make sure to fill in these gaps at the end of the month! I would really like active Antitheocrans or all levels to feel special and included, and hope this would incentivize users from this amazing state to join in and support each other.

★ Bit of a stretch goal, but I am an artist (and many of you are as well!) and I’d love to, time permitting, doodle state members every so often, perhaps in conjunction with Ximbo-of-the-Week style highlights. I can’t guarantee this all the time, but it’s something I’d like to do when I can!

★ Putting out a survey every month or two to poll for potential ways I can improve as SM and where state members can contribute ideas for potential contests

★ Continuing any work the current SM (Melpomene) is working on!

★ Working with the rest of the Pink House to make Ximboland a safe, fun, inclusive, and supportive community for everyone!

TLDR Goals (the short version):

★ Continue to host Antitheocra-only fashion contests each month

★ Host non-fashion creative contests and challenges open to all states, ideally monthly as well

★ Awarding prizes to active Antitheocrans registered on the Birthday Board on their birthdays

★ Zero tolerance for bullying, harassment, and bigotry

★ Creating and leading forum threads for community support and wellness

★ Providing private support to Antitheocrans (and other site users) who are struggling

★ Highlighting active, helpful, friendly Antitheocrans from the state each week, with a TBD prize

★ Posting surveys at the end of the month to poll for ways in which I can improve as SM

★ Continuing the work of the current SM (Melpomene)

★ Work with the rest of the Pink House and staff to improve and support this site and its user base

♥ Thank you everyone for reading! If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out or let me know. Lots of love to everyone and for those in the US (who celebrate), I hope you have a great Thanksgiving! ♥

That's a wonderful program, Polly! You'll make an excellent SM for sure! Feeling really confident about leaving the state in your hands now that I'm not going to be running for a fourth time in a row. Looking forward to seeing the election! <3
