You state that the Prime Ximbo will not be paid in point 2d. So, really, the Prime Ximbo works for no one. It seems that in this restructuring, the PX would be a figurehead and nothing more and if they are expected to still do things, then they’re being stiffed. I parrot Pollyx's earlier points about how duties will be divvied up.

No the Prime Ximbo will from now on always work for me/Ximboland corporation. It either will be me or it will be someone elected by you but who works for us in the corporation. 

2b. “On August 1st you will vote for and decide the Ministers [excluding Minister of Justice].”


How will this work? Will it be single day, single page voting like PX and State Minister voting? Will it be a poll? How will campaigning look? Do senators still get 10x votes and if so, what’s stopping someone from blowing some cash and getting themselves elected into all 3 positions? Known site whales, such as  KatieBoutique (aka Slayyyocrates, CarCrashBimbo, XOD of Bimboland, Slayto, The Gifter, and probably more that he's made in the time it takes me to write this post) blow hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on this site as evident by their large diamond gift amounts. So, come election time, what is stopping him from putting up an account for all three positions and electing himself into each?


Yes electing like PX elections now - in a single day. Senators get 10x votes and citixens get 1 x vote


Additionally, the MoJ will just be you. Tash, your alt account, is who you put in the position last time, so why not be transparent about this?

No you didnt understand this. I will choose the Minister of Justice. Next term i will choose someone who supports free speech.
The term after that I will choose someone who is more 'rules based' and so on and so forth. I will remain neutral.  

2c. “I will give this power and appoint Ximbos from the opposite ends of the censorship spectrum for alternate terms/elections.”


I highly doubt this. What is more likely is you’ll elect people you think fall on either end and since your knowledge of the player base and the game itself are quite limited, you’ll end up shooting the site in the foot.

Its only 3 months. I will do my best to choose suitabel candidates but even if you disagree you only have to wait 3 months and the next Justice minister will be arrive. 

Additionally, this seems like it would be very difficult for the player base. This is just inconsistent moderation codified into law, making it confusing for the average player on what the rules actually are.

The rules are twitter rules. very clear. The interpretation of those rules will be done by the Justice Minister. 

Closing question. “Are we on the right path to uniting Ximboland and creating the best community on the internet bar none?”


Short answer: no. Long answer: no, because of you making changes like these.

I am sorry you feel this way

"No the Prime Ximbo will from now on always work for me/Ximboland corporation. It either will be me or it will be someone elected by you but who works for us in the corporation."
This wording I'm a bit stuck on. I think a clear definition of just what the new PX role will entail would clear up a lot of the apprehensive confusion around these changes. You say there will be none, but also that one will still be elected. From your previous reply, it seems the PX will still be in charge of PXFC and not much else, acting as a secretary between the different ministers.

"Yes electing like PX elections now - in a single day. Senators get 10x votes and citixens get 1 x vote"
My concern about site whales remains. 

"I will choose the Minister of Justice. Next term i will choose someone who supports free speech."
What's stopping you from choosing yourself? The reason I brought up Tash is because that account, by site standards, is considered someone else even though the same person runs both it and SAN. This means that you could still just appoint yourself or another account of yours while still following through on what you've said here.

"The rules are twitter rules. very clear. The interpretation of those rules will be done by the Justice Minister."
This would still mean the rules change, effectively. A rule is only as good as it's implemented, meaning that what is allowed and what isn't would change. I find issue with this MoJ role being just one person as it comes with not only being the sole bearer of moderation (which, as we have seen before, is neither effective nor enjoyable) but potential for abuse/neglect of players concerns.


My closing thoughts are this: I think this post would've been received much better with all the information ready. You've proposed these changes, but have given no guidelines to what the positions will be. I know you said there's more to follow, but I think waiting until everything was ready to roll out would've been the better option as important info (such as who will do what, compensation, how the roles will be decided, etc.) is being disseminated in replies on the third, fourth, and fifth page instead of the main post itself, making it much more likely to get lost and misinterpreted and lead to a lot of confusion. Not having this info ready does not instill confidence in your ability to make sure everything is in order by August 1st.

I'd like to make it clear that I'm not against this restructuring. The PX role has been a huge burden and alleviating this through having multiple people managing instead of relying on one person is the best path forward. I just wish this roll out wasn't so vague and gave us a clear outline of what is to come.

I'm looking forward to the new changes. Sad to see the downvote button go though, never stopped me from posting what I wanted to say. Rules changing every 3 months will be interesting. People may get confused but a state of confusion is normal for most people today. lol XD
