Then how are they appointed? I guess they are either appointed in by me or someone in Boob Palace they are voted in by the Ximbo pupulace
What do you think?
What do you think?
As above
3 months? 6 months?
So where does that leave me (Chris). Yes again like Miss Bimbo I would like things to be able to run and grow with me in the background only ever being called into action or called upon if there is a time of crisis. Ideally the Prime Bimbo and their team and all the checks and balances would be able to work to manage the community/democracy and also work closely with Boob Palace/Karol (developer) to get things done development wise.
Yes this part is something I have not thought about. So please share your suggestions. If we allow alt accounts what would be the effect on the
a) fashion fights?
b) contests?
c) debates?
But ultimately the power lies with teh PB . It is them that ultimately create teh environment and have the power to throw people in jail/exile people. I am minded to offer clemency to those people whom are clear Bimbo patriots. But ultimately it is those people whom will have to come back to the fold and abide by teh laws that the Prime Bimbo puts in place. If they break teh laws then they will get throw into jail again. This time though we will have an independent chief Justice Bimbo and the eyes of society watching everything and so no one will be jailed for hurty words and no real Ximbos will be exiled. Jail should suffice. The word 'permabanned' or 'exiled' are misleading because a perma ban is an execution. The Ximbo is summarily executed right when they are permabanned. Soi we should use the term as it is and stop sugar coating things.
The same when a Ximbo commits Ximbo suicide. I have never understood the argument that we should not use that term simply because those hurty words bother some people. We have to call it what it is - when someone deletes their account they are committing Bimbo suicide. And it should be called that.
If I were PB then I would be saying - if its ok on Twitter then it should be ok on Ximboland would be my guide. We are an adult site afterall. We are not facebook. But this is something that makes us unique and can make our site special. We are democratically elected and therefore we can have censorship like facebook (leftist) or censorship like Twitter (rightist). That will be up to you to decide
My main push is for a) newsfeed/wall/followers b) the ability to monetise content for all users c) forum improvements
Hi Chris,Yes this is tricky isnt it? This is a big challenge. We need to create a position that encourages someone to put aside friendships and rivalries and to purt Ximbolands democracy first at all times. Biases and friendships are inherent in all of us so its not going to be easy. I guess there are 2 possibilities
I wasn't going to keep replying any more because you keep contradicting yourself but I just wanted to throw a few questions out regarding the new proposed changes
A) Independent Chief Justice Bimbo
1. How will you ensure this person doesn't encounter the same biases and issues the Pink House have supposedly run into in the past?
a) the role is only open to ex PBs - therefore we are assuming ex PBs are the 'best of Ximboland' and they will strive to put Ximbiolands democracy before personal tit for tats.
b) the role is only open to someone whom has never even been a PB or State minster or Fashion Police ie teh thinking here is that this creates a check and a balance to the existing people in power.
Then how are they appointed? I guess they are either appointed in by me or someone in Boob Palace they are voted in by the Ximbo pupulace
What do you think?
2. Will this be a paid position?Yes perhaps a split of teh PB takings should go to the Chief Justice BImbo eg 20%
What do you think?
3. How will this be appointed?
As above
4. How long would they be in post?Not sure.
3 months? 6 months?
5. What are the benefits of this post compared to you taking a more active role in the running of your website, working together with the elected Prime Bimbo, was that not the original purpose of the system?Ideally someday soon and with your help I will be able to retire Miss Bimbo and she just be the founder and figurehead of Ximboland. I would like everything to run smoothly and efficiently with a number of checks and balances in place playing off against each other to defend our hard fought democracy. A bit like the Queen of England - the Queen was a figurehead only and never spoke about politics. I think Miss Bimbo should be the same. She should be seen, respected, admired but not heard.
So where does that leave me (Chris). Yes again like Miss Bimbo I would like things to be able to run and grow with me in the background only ever being called into action or called upon if there is a time of crisis. Ideally the Prime Bimbo and their team and all the checks and balances would be able to work to manage the community/democracy and also work closely with Boob Palace/Karol (developer) to get things done development wise.
In my view it should be 3 months as a senator and that is enough
B) Opening up elections
1. What vetting of the candidates will occur? At present we are very limited in who can stand but the candidates can at least demonstrate commitment to the game through their work as state minister.
C) Allowing alts
1. You've mentioned cheating for Prime Bimbo election will be minimised by the upper level for voter eligibility. What will be done to prevent cheating in fashion fights, contests, debates? This would defeat the point of the game for me, there's no point in playing the game and taking part if the winners are people cheating the game. You only need 5 votes to win a fashion fight.
2. If the game is flooded with cheaters, will this be the community you were hoping to create?
Yes this part is something I have not thought about. So please share your suggestions. If we allow alt accounts what would be the effect on the
a) fashion fights?
b) contests?
c) debates?
Well the first thing for me to appreciate and recognise is that the ex PBs, fashion police etc have done a great job and done what has been asked of them in the circumstances they were appointed. Whatever way we look at - this democracy runs on trust. And that will remain. At the end of the day I have trust in the PB and their team and we all have to trust the Pb and their team. When push comes to shove they have to make difficulty decisions and sometimes they make errors or are guided by biases. We all have to hope that these new checks and balances - MissBimbo (me) our constitution a chief judge Bimbo, an open free speech valued society will be enough to guide the PB and keep them inline with enough support.
D) Clemency for banned accounts
1. What support will you be offering to the Fashion police and Pink House staff regards to managing the website?
But ultimately the power lies with teh PB . It is them that ultimately create teh environment and have the power to throw people in jail/exile people. I am minded to offer clemency to those people whom are clear Bimbo patriots. But ultimately it is those people whom will have to come back to the fold and abide by teh laws that the Prime Bimbo puts in place. If they break teh laws then they will get throw into jail again.

2. Are you happy for harmful content to he posted on your forums? Stuff that may very well get you in legal trouble?This should be up to the democratically elected prime Bimbo. Its not up to me.
If I were PB then I would be saying - if its ok on Twitter then it should be ok on Ximboland would be my guide. We are an adult site afterall. We are not facebook. But this is something that makes us unique and can make our site special. We are democratically elected and therefore we can have censorship like facebook (leftist) or censorship like Twitter (rightist). That will be up to you to decide
I would like to see Boob Palace/Karol posting direct updates on here and also being held to account by the PB/Pink House. He does a great job behind the scenes but i dont see much communication shared.
And finally, you mention transitioning the website into a social media website:
1. What improvements will be made to the current social features on the site? The forum is very hard to use on mobile.
My main push is for a) newsfeed/wall/followers b) the ability to monetise content for all users c) forum improvements
2. What new features are you going to implement to achieve this?as above
3. What financial investment will you be putting into the website to develop these new features?I suspect it will be £10/20k
Not sure yet chatting with Karol
4. What are the time frames for their implementation?
Thank you for your well constructed and thoughtful message
