Oh, I'm so sorry Detective Drew. I totes forgot 'bout the whole "you guys can't post in the court thread" thing. I'm still baffled by that O.o It's really really good to hear from you though, and even better to hear that you're doin' such good work behind the scenes to stop cheaters. ^^
Who watches the Bimboland Court?
Such misplaced zeal... Their eyes remain closed to the true path. Not like you... my devoted Chosen...

As for the ramblings themselves:
1. I'm still looking for the laws I could interpret, by the way, Except it seems you were somewhat conflating in-game laws and out-of-game laws terms and conditions there. I did find the latter, and also found they really could use updating to follow basic standards of text formatting or, failing that, rules of interpunctuation at the very least.
2. I find it pretty hard to spot children on the Internet, actually, given the amount of 13-going-on-30 crazies that seem to troll it. I think the ones that actually use proper grammar and interpunctuation are probably the kids, but I don't actually have proof of that.
3. What kind of popularity contest would you base the elections on? I mean, you do understand that the inherent flaw of democracy is that as long as humanity is not perfectly rational, an election will always be little more than a popularity contest, right?
4. What was Bimboland designed to be like? I mean, seriously, the resources available aren't really very clear on that, except the out-of-game T&C suggesting that no matter how badly somebody went sweetly nuts over people calling Bimbolands that back in 2016, it was meant as a game.
5. I take it you like current threats to freedom of expression less than the ones of your childhood (and make no mistake, anyone with an actual education knows America always had its corresponding threats). That does not make the latter ones objectively better, though, just a different shade, or maybe generation, of sucky.
6+. Eh, the rest doesn't seem as important to me, so why bother. I probably lost half the readers by about #3, anyways.
Any American could read my previous post and it would be very clear to them.I haven't facepalmed this hard in quite some time.
English is a very complicated language, I admit that......

ADHD and the myriad of social disorder's are always an excuse.....
" My dogma ate my I Phone and I am waiting for it, to shit out the answer."
silly story... Headline reads: Boys arm blown off by fireworks on his 10th birthday.... as a caption in the main stream media/ CNN Under a picture of a boy with a bandage covering just 2 very intact finger's and ARM.......
Convicting a HAM sandwich is easy for lawyers and scam artists. It's all about perception, not content.....
Supposedly Momma Cass died eating a ham sandwich, so they must be bad for everyone.
Or Michael Philips just like having sex with their daughter, Michelle Philips....... true story,
It's even written about by Michelle Phillips herself. So who is guilty?
Who ate the ham sandwich?

We get no updates from the development team on how things are handled. In fact we've been told to back off of doing our job sometimes for being "too harsh".
But our job simply is to do the background work and handle requests/manage a list of who has shared IPs etc. Also, we had no option to be able to post in the court.
Anything we do has to go through the development.
We cannot ban or delete people's accounts either.
With all due respect Det. Drew it is clear that you are the only active detective and it is not that hard to figure it out. Other two detectives appears sporadically or not at all for days/month.
The problem with the trial is that we were put in the situation to vote and bring some conclusions without relevant stats. We only knew that a few users had the same IP, they fought/debated each other sometimes and voted for each other a few times. And, they missed to reply on warning messages.
You forwarded us some stats via Prime Bimbo Starbuck but these stats were incomplete and incorrect. Log in stats for 13-14 days, of which you recorded 10 days of inactivity and no log ins, is not enough for sane and correct judgment because it left us with only 3-4 days with log ins. Thanks to Alexstrasza who diligently went through their debates/fights history we learned that they were actually active during the questionable time frame for which you didn't record log ins. I remember well that I asked did you recorded and sent stats only for IP they usually used. The answer I got was that no activity on the accounts was recorded for that time frame, no matter of the used IP.

Regardless whoever opens the case should collect the full information - Starbuck did not have access to the full tools, so I sent her a screenshot/copied directly from the tools what the information was. If it was me opening a case, then I would go the full lengths to investigate it and bring all the facts. So it just depends on who is doing what. Also, again I had no access to posting, so it leaves me in the dark what I can add to the conversation of a case that I didn't start. Starbuck may have sent a lengthy post but ultimately it was Kimsim who chose what to post when the case was opened :). None of the detectives nor the prime wanted this to go to the court, that was the decision of the development.Alexstrasza wrote:I didn't know any of 'em were banned O.o thanks for doin' the detectives' job (are they dead?) and informin' us ^^Since there seems to be confusion.

Detective Nancy Drew here.
Note any suspicious activity? Send a message my way and I'll look into the situation.

Yeah, we know already that you can't post in trial threads which is stupid in opinions of many of us, just doesn't make much sense. We were also told that Kimsim wanted trial so based on what you said he should collect the stats and details. But we didn't heard from him during the trial, he just started it and wrote the first post. The rest was left on Starbuck and senators who wanted to participate. It is also unprofessional from the team's side if they left SB without proper tools if they already involved her the trial and even made it to look like she wanted to start the trial. Only after she said that Kimsim wanted trial we learned it wasn't her idea.
Due that it was 10 days in a row of recorded inactivity, it most likely has nothing to do with time zones, even if the system is affected by time zones. Only first and last day would be questionable if that is a thing with the time zones gap.
I am sorry to hear that your tools might be bugged. It makes work harder for you and makes you seem unprofessional, while it's not your mistake. It is unprofessional from the team's side if they left you with bagged tools.
The idea of having court, trials, parliament and similar is good. The way of handling it is the problem. If our voices don't count in the end and team does what they already intended to do from the very beginning, than none of these activities and projects make sense. If that's the case they just wasted our time and made us monkeys. If our votes and comments in trial had some effect on their decision then it wasn't totally pointless.
Thank you for detailed reply, hopefully your tools will get fixed so you can keep doing your job more comfortably :)

Himbo Shop Requests thread, Right item - Wrong category & No-name items report thread
As Ulvhild stated... I had no idea this case was "resolved". I was sent emails that charges were being brought, that the case had started but not sent an email that the judgement had been rendered which I kind of feel we should get.
That being said... as I stated in the court thread itself... the actual "judgement" leaves me feeling a bit sour about the whole process. Again we have a case where the verdict is guilty for all players... yet again the resolution is that the main account gets no consequence.
The actual guilty person in this trial was a very minor player with little rep/stat... but still.. the rules state that it is not allowed and players will be banned.
This is my quote taken directly from the bimboland court thread
Idk... guess I am foolish.. at this point everyone can just make an alt account use it until you get caught then just keep the main one that has gained all its rep/positioning. Seems like what has happened in every case so far. If there is more of a resolution with this new trial (the court in general) then I can build up some investment into it... it just doesn't seem like it's worth the effort just yet.
Sadly.... What is the point really?
