Hello there,

I don't pay this game, in fact I only made this account to provide a response to this thread specifically. That being said, despite my lack of experience actually in the game, I feel this is worthwhile nonetheless.

Are you aware of your obvious contradiction - above you say you don't play the game and below you say 'this is a game first and foremost'.

First and foremost, let’s address Miss Bimbo’s opening statement:

“By now I expected that we would have been the first website ever to have developed a healthy and open democracy. I had hoped we would have developed into the worlds first and best online democratic nation by now.

By that I mean that I had expected every election and state minister election to be hotly but fairly contested by now. I expected a vibrant, exciting and lively democracy. I had expected that political groups or parties would have developed along the left-right axis with off site websites and groups forming. I had expected by now that elections would be hotly debated and eagerly anticipated by all.

However this has not happened and that is disappointing.”

I am genuinely confused by how somebody can be this unironically delusional about something, to the point where I’ve convinced myself Miss Bimbo has to be trolling with this utter nonsense.

Wrong. I am speaking the truth.

From this statement alone and from what I’ve come to understand about how this quote en quote “Nation” started, the ideal prime directive for lack of a better phrase - is for Bimbo Land to be a political haven open to all, for all intents and purposes it is to function as a true western democratic society. With free trade, differing opinions and it’s own citizenship it was intended to function as though it were a real country.

That's correct - the first democratic 'internet' nation.

Now then, let’s take a look at the reality of the situation. From what I can tell, this website is a decade old pipedream of two random blokes with a decent background in software that clearly had a couple Guinesses in the pub together and decided this would be a good idea.

Partly true yes

At the end of the day, when it’s all said and done, what we have here is not The First and Only True Great and Bountiful Empire of The Nation of Bimbo Land. What we have here, is an outdated, poorly maintained, poorly managed and highly sexualized adult internet dress up game - with a side order of community forum.

A bit harsh.
And the wrong way around. The main asset and part of this site and the bedrock of our Bimbo nation is you, our community/democracy and our wonderful Bimbo brand. With a side order of a fashion game. 
As you yourself said above - you don't play the game. Yet here you are investing your precious time writing to me about the community. (Which I am grateful for by the way despite your sometimes sarcastic/aggressive tone of language). 

So the first thing that I would like to reiterate is the fact that i have always understood and valued the community more than the game. The community is brought together by me under the 'Bimbo' brand. I have always valued and understood the power of the Bimbo brand perhaps better than anyone else alive.
The Bimbo or Ximbo.land brand is strong. Its amazing. One of the greatest brands their is. 
The 'Bimbo' brand encompasses and unites men and women, straights and gays, left leaning/right leaning, all ages, all different nationalities,  and skin colours. The lot. Every human has an inner bimbo in them right? Bimbos are different. Bimbos are humanities finest. 

The question Miss Bimbo should be asking herself is not,

“is it because our Ximbos/users are not 'politically minded' or intelligent enough to appreciate the nuances of community politics?”

It is not,

“Is it because the Prime Ximbo is not paid enough?”

It is not,

“Is it because Ximbos don't like democracy and prefer to simply live under dictatorship?”

The question she should be asking herself is: “What is the product I have created, why have I created it and who are my consumers?”.
If she was to ask herself this without role playing, honestly, truly thought about it, or even took a look at the website. The only answers to those questions are -

1: A weird, highly sexualized, role playing fantasy dress up game for “adults”
2: To make money
3: Literally, and I cannot stress this enough, women and gays.

While it is clear, you have worked hard to implement some sort of real world political undertone, this is not the main draw or focus of the vast majority of this playerbase/community.

See above. Here you started telling me that you don't play the game and yet here you are asserting to me that we are just a game. I disagree - the strength of our site has always been the community/democracy led Bimbo brand. The game and everything that follows will always be second to that. 

As for money.
Yes I am interested in money. I am already fortunate in teh sense I have worked hard and taken enough chances to have built up above average personal wealth. But I am a conservative with a small 'c'. By that I mean I don't like to do things 'just for money' . There has to be a bigger mission and personal project than just the 'money' element. Take Trump for example whom is a big C conservative/republican. Hes so money orientated and brash - make shim vacuous and boring. 
So yes Ximboland is about money to some degree and I would love top grow and enter the 'super rich' category of people one day but on the back of creating and growing interesting/ground breaking and valuable businesses.
I do believe Ximboland is in the category of being an interesting and ground-breaking business model but we are a long way off its potential yet. And I dont envisage its future being only in the community/game elements. I believe the future of Ximboland is being opened up to more users by having a more social media profile sitting somewhere between facebook (left leaning) and twitter (right leaning).
We could and should be a democratic social media site. So that starts with us opening up a news feed and opening up ways for the creator's to create and stimulate our economy. 

  

The main draw of this community is the fact It’s a dress up game where young adults, queers and stay at home mums can dress up a character and chat with other young adults, queers and stay at home mums. (whilst giggling at clip arts of dildos).

Now it’s true that with any large community, there is going to be a degree of political discussion, you must look at the demographic of human beings within said community. The vast majority of which are again: gays and women. And what is the overwhelming political ideology of gays and women?

Liberal/Left politics.

And what happens when you have an overwhelmingly vast amount of like minded individuals? Well that’s obvious, the overwhelming majority of the like minded individuals don’t give a fuck about your political undertones because everyone agrees and then they go back to checking what new piece of clothing they can buy for the next fashion contest.

I disagree here. Some people may not give a fuck but some clearly do give a fuck. Including you because you already said you are here for the politics and don't play the game. 

It truly is baffling to me, how the owner of a website can be so completely and utterly disconnected from its users to a point where you don’t even understand the purpose of the website you’ve created.

My overarching point is this, to put it bluntly: Bimbo Land, is not a country no matter how hard you dream about it being one, it is not a democratic society. It is a dress up game, where people come to buy low quality JPEG clothes and stick them on low quality JPEG characters, then talk about those low quality JPEG outfits. Nobody on this website, with the exception of maybe 5% have ever cared, nor will they ever care, about your political pipedream. To the point where there is genuinely a discussion thread about why players chose their state and most people’s reasoning is something to the effect of “i like the colour”.

The players are simply not here for politics.

That being said, I need to make this perfectly clear, in terms of my own political views, being conservative myself I suspect I actually agree with Miss Bimbo on a great many things. But seeing as I’m also a real human being living in a real democratic society, on a real planet, in a real universe: I understand there is a time and a place for politics - spoilers, it’s not here.

This website, clearly is overwhelmingly left, full of LGBT and young women, if you have any sort of right leaning notions on this website, you will be shut down, as unfortunate as that is. So yes, implement some more open freedom of speech policies to improve open discussion on this platform.

And to the left playerbase I’ve just described, have some perspective for christ’s sake, this is a bloody internet forum, if somebody says something you disagree with or feel hurt by - get over it. There are places in this world that at this very second, people are being blown to pieces in their homes surrounded by their families and you’re all sat here upset because every now and then some anonymous troll online says fat people eat food.

People have dumb fuck opinions about a great many things, just because you don’t agree, doesn’t mean they arent entitled to be a dumb fuck, let them be fucking dumb and go on about your life. If they aren’t threatening you, if they aren’t inciting violence, if all they have done is typed out a sentence that makes them look like a complete cunt, take solace in the fact that they’re clearly a complete cunt - then move on back to your PXFC outfit.

And to the tiny populous of right wingers on here, if all you’re here for is the nostalgia of this game, or simply just to call people fat, then I encourage you to do something more insightful. Or go back to your PXFC outfit.

And to Miss Bimbo, please, for the love of god, reevaluate what this site is actually for. You will come to find that if you implement features that cater to your audience i.e people here to dress up characters and count to infinity on a forum thread to farm virtual points - those players will spend more money and you will have less of a headache trying to force them to be something they will never be.

Thanks for your thoughtful message and I hope my replies above have dealt with your points

Have a nice day,
Dick Cheese.

Thats a great Bimbo name by the way 

I feel like if you're going to come and announce a bunch of changes you didn't initially discuss with Blecky and the rest of the Pink House, the least you could do is be transparent in your discussions about them going forward. It puts Blecky and everyone else working their arse off running the site in a difficult position.

I agree. Banning someone for life is the equivalent of sentencing them to death in real life 

"Exile" would be a more apt equivalent to describe it. They've been forcefully deported from the site, not the entirety of the internet. Ximboland is an island on the sea of web, not the whole world. When you leave the site voluntarily, it is called "emigrating", not "suicide", for a reason.

Also, there seems to be some confusion with the word "banning". When people talk about banning in this thread, they're continuously referring to permabanning, kicking someone off the site for good. The sentence " yes but there is a huge difference between banning someone for being an asshole and actually kicking them off the site/killing their Bimbo." makes no sense. The seriousness of this response seems disproportional to the actual issue to me. Nevertheless, while it is fine to periodically re-evalute the rules by which such a sentence bestowed (as they do in most countries to keep up with evolving morals), the sentences of those already sentenced by old laws do not just get revoked when this happens. They get re-evaluated on an individual basis. Assuming, this is you intention as well but it is not necessarily how this comes across

On an online environment, such as this, however, I fear the consequences of unbanning already banned people will no be very successful. For one, it'll probably be in vain as many unbanned people might not be willing to return especially if it is been a long time. Secondly, it'll show a presidence that encourages citizens to misbehave more. After all, if the PH's decisions are never truly permanent (subject to the whims and fancies of a future PB), what reason is there to follow the current power? Of course unfair bannings should be re-evaluated as there is always a possibility of new information coming to the surface of someone having acted in error. But to unban people (who have been banned for a reason) just based on personal preference without proper, heavy cause undermines the justice system of Ximboland

Thats a great Bimbo name by the way 

To explain what Kirsty is talking about, to Miss Bimbo and to anyone else who is confused: Every contest that we run, we have to pay for those diamonds to be awarded. They come out of our own bank of diamonds. We don't get "funded" a bunch of diamonds for these contests or have them compensated to us. We buy them and we give them away. I think that shows how much dedication State Ministers and Prime Bimbo have for the site. Now, you can run a contest and give everyone a participation prize and a nice prize to the top three, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg. I think it's important to note here as well - please don't judge State Ministers by the prizes they dish out, it's only a reflection of how much money they have. State Ministers pay the monthly/yearly fee of senatorship and then have to fund their terms. Please focus on our creativity, our compassion for players, our activeness on the forums, in the comments and on the site as a whole.

Miss Bimbo, I can sense you are probably asking why we even bother to run contests and are saying it is our own choice to do so, and I agree with you. But, the site is ever changing. In it's current state, it is expected of State Ministers to frequently run contests (1 a month at the least) and we simply cannot argue with that. If that is what the game has evolved into, then that is how we State Ministers operate. We want to keep the site alive and enjoyable, and this is how it is done; this is what the players enjoy. I have no issues with that, but it is important to acknowledge that a lot of the treasury fund is made up of PBs own money, alongside her SMs, and the SM work is wholeheartedly voluntary, with no pay. The satisfaction I get is not from being paid, but from the players enjoying themselves. However, I still would appreciate some money for my efforts, I think we all would. Even if it was just that the diamonds we give out were compensated, I believe more people would like to run for SM if they knew it wasn't going to cost them so much money. 

"yes but there is a huge difference between banning someone for being an asshole and actually kicking them off the site/killing their Bimbo. HLB should have been thrown in jail I agree. But kick her off the site or effectively kill her Bimbo? No chance - far too harsh and draconian and an example of the left eating itself ie protracting the feelings of one minority leading you to effectively sentence to death someone whom is part of our community."

Why is this narative keep being pushed that people get banned left, right and center? The only people who really get banned are bots, alts and minors. Lots of people on this site now say alot of shit and don't get banned, HLB was the exception almost 3 years ago becuase a certain few people who hated her really pushed for it after she made a certain comment.
This was almost 3 years ago stop putting it on the people who are here now and making it seem like its present PH fault. Just unban her and be done with it instead of going around in circles about it.

Honestly, and I can't emphasise this enough, I do not nor will I ever vote for prime bimbo based on their political leanings. I will vote for the prime bimbo who does the best job at making this site fun to play, it's just not that serious :')
