Not only did Chris already address this same exact argument, but what do your contests have to do with us? Time to move on. And please do share with us where did you see this alleged bullying, since your timeline doesn't add up. You were a senator for half a year, you've been playing for a year and a half and you had enough time to cancel your subscription cause other players were getting bullied even tho me and Butterfly barely logged in for a year? How convincing.

hello again! Thank you to everyone who is trying to ask and answer questions productively here despite emotions running high. I am appreciative that my questions have been answered to some extent, and I'm hopeful that this thread will have some positive outcomes. It seems like we're all getting closer to being on the same page, and I hope that such clarity will lessen the frustration and make it easier to understand each other without feeling that everyone is coming from a place of hostility. I really do admire everyone's dedication and passion for this game. There has been frustration in this thread, but there is so much love in this game. Thank you all for being here and caring.

Miss Bimbo, for your consideration: I was a paying senator for just six months before ending my senator subscription because it was off putting to look through the forum and to see certain players bullying others time and time again. Even though I've been lucky enough to evade poor treatment from them outside of this thread, seeing how they treat others was enough for me to cancel senatorship. I've also held off on running some contests to avoid drawing any potentially negative attention from trolls (contests that will contribute to the treasury when I purchase diamonds as prizes). I understand why you wouldn't want to ban paying senators, of course the site should be making money, but I also think it's worth pointing out that having trolls on the site can drive away players who are otherwise willing to pay and be more active, like myself. A couple hurty words here and there may spice up the game, but consistent bullying seems to take a toll on the community. Just my experience/perspective--thank you for your time!

As for the proposal of 3 month PB/SM terms, I think that's a really interesting idea! I already find elections exciting, and this thread certainly seems to have stirred up additional passion, so more frequent elections sound like a good idea to keep the excitement going.
Me and AuntieLice barely posted during 2023, spare us the melodrama. If you cared enough about this site, you would support it regardless of whether you disliked what two people were (or were not in this case) saying in the Forum. It’s pretty obvious that you didn’t and don’t care about supporting this site financially, and we’re just looking for an opportunity to vilify us now that you’ve become aware about the significance of senators on the site. To paraphrase Miss Bimbo, if you aren’t robust enough to deal with non-existent hurty words, the site is better off without you.

Thanks LillyAnn.
I went back and re read those three posts by Miss Bimbo.
While she is not finished posting her ideas, I think I can make the following conclusions based on what I have read so far.

1.  The PB Elections will go forward in January as normal.
 2.    The Election Programmes Feature will be activated as normal, on January 18, 2024.
   3.   As of today, only State ministers will be eligible to run.
     4.  Senator eligibility will be a discussion for Feb.
     
    5.  Miss Bimbo is not going to assume the role of Prime Bimbo in Feb.  It was a threat only…and maybe still is.  I don’t know.

Thats my take so far.  Anything can change, I suppose.  
But as of right now those assumptions/conclusions are what I’m using
to plan my January...in 2024…in Ximboland.

I think I was clear that the forum rules now apply to this thread also.
Take this as a warning.

@KatieBoutique you can post your programm in 15th of January and elections take place on 1st February.

I wanted to add if Chris wants he can make the changes about who can run already for Feb elections. So if you are a senator and are ready to try being a PB I would suggest making some draft for your election campaigne just in case ^_^

The current rules apply until the end of Blecky's terms, which is officially Feb 2nd 8am so upcoming Feb election should be the same as usual. Miss Bimbo said changes are coming after this term is over. Hope we will hear soon what exactly can be expected in February.

@Katie
1.  The PB Elections will go forward in January as normal.
 2.    The Election Programmes Feature will be activated as normal, on January 18, 2024.
   3.   As of today, only State ministers will be eligible to run.
     4.  Senator eligibility will be a discussion for Feb.
     
    5.  Miss Bimbo is not going to assume the role of Prime Bimbo in Feb.  It was a threat only…and maybe still is.  I don’t know.
Things stay the same until Feb base on what MB said. It means
1) There will be PB election on Feb 1st
2) You can display your program on Jan 15th
-----------------------------
With the term duration of 3 months
Next SM election - 6 weeks (month and half) after PB election which would be in the middle of March
Next PB election - May
-----------------------------
All senators are eligible to apply for PB election if they have been senators for the last 3 months - Based on these two posts post1 and post2 it applies to upcoming Feb election.

Miss Bimbo

Thank you for your kind words - I am not used to such positivity directed my way! I am blushing. 

I think its looking like the best option is for me to allow sweetasnuts to run as a candidate in the 1st of Feb elections. I know he's busy preparing right now his manifesto and he will present it to you very soon in a bid to be elected the next Prime Bimbo. I wouldn't normally want or allow someone who works for me in Boob Palace to work as Prime Bimbo as well but I think its good to get our democracy back on track

I genuinely believe you should indeed be PB every 3rd or 4th term. That way we can learn from the best. Prime Bimbo doesn't exist without Miss Bimbo, I think you should step forward for the next term. That way next PB will have a good example to look upon.

Today you have proved once again how much transparency matters. Thank you for that Miss Bimbo.

I have a question regarding this one (quoted from your first post from today)
2) I am also proposing a new start from Feb 1st.
There is no point in people banging on about things that happened previously because what is done is done. Everyone was doing their best under the rules and the republic of Ximboland of the time. Some people got banned and lots of feelings have been hurt but all we can do is work together to create a better future. So shall we let bygones be bygones?
What is going to happen with HLB?

Miss Bimbo

As for HLB - its is with regret that I inform she hasnt replied to my emails inviting her back.
I regret not protecting her earlier but I was in a difficult position of not wanting to interfere with the government of the day but also having a soft spot for a long term loyal Bimbo.
That said I am now sure i made a mistake and it was a mistake not protecting her.
Yes she was wild and yes she was naughty and yes she needed throwing in jail sometimes but did she need to be exiled? Executed?
Absolutely not.
Our democracy failed her and we are weaker for what happened to her.
She was a long term loyal bimbo of maybe 14 years - I first noticed her unique style as long back as 2009 on missBimbo.com So I have known her a long time - she was as loyal a bimbo as you will find whom invested her time and probably a lot of money in Ximboland. 
She was loyal to ximbvoland and I should have protected her and made sure we have a system where loyal ximbos like that can only be executed for the most grievous of crimes - none of which she committed.
