Morning dolls,

It's been about 6 days since application for March PBFC started, you could see how it works so far and perhaps came up with an opinion which of two options do you prefer.


1. Multiple polls public voting
- suggestions are public
- themes are public
- everyone knows who suggested which theme
- voting is public in terms of everyone can see which theme got the most votes
- the prize is 1 Medium Chest + 200 Ds

*Pros:
- Everyone can suggest the theme
- Everyone who is level 16 or up can vote
- I don't discard themes unless they are strongly in collision with the rules
- Multiple polls offer the second chance each time (If you previously voted for the theme that dropped out you can vote again for any of those that passed farther)

*Cons:
- It became quite predictable which theme is going to win
- There is no surprise factor at all
- Suggestions are often based mostly on bimbo outfits which makes it difficult for himbos
- Some of suggestions are not really in accordance to what we have in shops
- Sometimes players vote for the headline and not description and what the theme is actually about
- Often players vote for the theme that sounds interesting without paying attention if there are fitting items for it or does it suit himbos
- The prize for the winning theme is significantly smaller
- Some players got discouraged to suggest themes because of post downvotes and/or not enough votes in the polls



2. Secret pick
- suggestions are secret (via BL inbox)
- themes are secret
- no one knows who suggested which theme
- there are no polls and voting, instead I pick the theme based on description, items availability, originality, challenge factor (imo it's good to have a theme that is a bit challenging but not impossible to follow while staying on topic), etc.
- the prize is 1 month of senatorship + 500 Ds for citizens or 1 500 Ds for senators

*Pros:
- There is a 'surprise' factor
- There is a 'challenge' factor
- No one gets any advantage in any way, not even a player who suggested the winning theme
- If anyone thinks it gives me an advantage for knowing the theme before others I am ready to step back from participating
- Themes are picked to fit both shops (and dolls)
- The prize is significantly bigger
- Some players feel more comfortable to suggest the theme in private

*Cons:
- Involvement of the rest of the players is lesser since there are no polls and voting
- The theme might not be of majority's taste (tho not every active player vote in polls either)


There are two options in this poll, vote for one you prefer better. The poll level limit is 16. It's closed poll with the time limit.
You can vote since today 8am until Mar 9th 8am BL time.



Have a beautiful week❣

the only "problem" i have with secret pick is actually the prize for it... what's the point for senators to suggest themes when they already have the senatorship? extra diamonds are cool but you know, a citizen would get the whole prize while a senator just half of it. maybe a different prize for a senator? 750 diamonds or something?

The prize for subscribed senators would translated in equal amount of Ds based on the price for the smallest top-up. It's about $5 for 500 Ds, senatorship is about $10 which is double, so the prize would be 1 500 Ds.

Thanks for reminding me of that. I had that on mind but forgot to add in the post.

I have a crazy idea. How about a compromise? I.e. make a normal thread on the forum where everyone could write their idea for next PBFC and then do 2 or 3 polls with a public vote. Once the top 3 topics were chosen, the final decision on the theme for PBFC would be in the hands of our Prime Bimbo. In this way, we ordinary citizens would have an influence on the choice of theme and at the same time a certain element of surprise would be preserved. I don't know, it's just my little suggestion :)

Tbh I like the idea that there is no judgment on the theme. Many are shy and feel relly bad when their theme get thumbs down. I prefer that the themes can be sent to LillyAnn directly and then she post those who follow the rules (has the tittle and description) in forum for the poll. 
I like the idea that she choses one from top3-5 themes that got most votes. That would keep the surprise factor and at the same time let those who want to take part in decision making do it through the poll.

I really like the surprise factor of you picking the theme since you have knowledge of what's in the store and so on. I also like the no judgement factor, in case people are shy to suggest a theme publicly.

Seeing and voting on PBFC makes me lose interest by the time it ends and the PBFC starts. I like how it used to be and that was when it was a surprise every month and 7 days only(which is enough time) to complete an outfit for the contest.

Opinion on compromise idea;
It's not really a secret pick if we know all voting options before hand and the PB picks out of top 3. Its not a compromise it defeats the purpose of secret pick.

Either way "ordinary citizens" are still being involved in both options. The difference is if it should be public or not.
