Do ministers have to have been a senator for 3 months at least? I remember something like that but could be wrong

Re: vote rigging. 

The first thing to highlight is that artefact senators votes only count for 1. No longer x 10 votes for artefact senators. We made that change because it was being abused. So no longer to artefact senators get x 10 votes. 
The only Ximbos whom get x10 votes are paying senators. 

So to answer your question - the only way anyone can now influence elections  would be to risk investing in multiple paid senatorships.
Whilst this is not ideal it does tell me that someone really wants do the job and as such they deserve the job as much as anyone else. I want to work with people whom love Ximboland and if they go to that extreme then so be it.

No we changed this as well to make it simple.
Anyone whom is a senator before the election can apply for a minister role and get x 10 votes

Thank you for answering this, but I'm afraid what you are describing has already happened and is likely to happen with the next Minister election if left alone. Why would I run for Minister of Fashion if someone else is highly likely to buy, say, ten or more senatorships to sway the vote completely? Does that mean, to you, that that person having that much money makes them more dedicated? I work very hard on this site but am lower income. Even Senatorship for only myself this upcoming election would be questionable, and it is frustrating to feel my labor does not matter in comparison to the enormous amount of funds being thrown around by someone else.

It is equally frustrating to the players to feel hundreds of them could vote for a specific candidate only to have one single person take over the election because they have the money to sling around. I see you are seeing financials, but can you see the social element here? If you value whales over the rest of your userbase, you run the risk of losing that userbase and therefore the glue holding everything together. Many of the dedicated volunteers also don't have the kind of money whales do, and I know we all feel disheartened by elections becoming about how much money one person has. That's an oligarchy, not a democracy.

Polly - I see what you are saying but this is the fairest way to do things. There are 91 paying senators so you only need 10 of their votes and 50 citizen votes to win. I don't see anyone buying 11 x senatorships just to win do you? maybe 2 or 3 max but there is a clear limit anyone would spend to become a minister

KatieBoutique bought Senatorships for her alt accounts Slayyyocrates, CarCrashBimbo, XOD of Bimboland, Slayto, and The Gifter for the Reasonopia SM election in addition to her existing Senatorship. That's 60 votes. Reasonopia SM elections typically receive 30-40ish total votes, so clearly the 60 Senator votes influenced the election. Are you okay with all of the Ministerial candidate races being swayed by at least 60 votes because one person bought that many Senatorships? I don't mean to target Katie but I do need to give this specific example to show you this is actually happening and is likely to happen again.

As I explained above - there are 91 paying senators at present.
So you just need 10 of them to vote for you and 50 votes from citizens and you have won even against the example you used above .
Also to make things fairer each senator can only stand for 1 minister post.

Furthermore in the example below it would be foolish of 1 person to stand in 3 minister elections with 3 alts and win them all on alt accounts because then they would struggle to do all the jobs to a good enough standard. They would then have to convince me that they can do all 3 roles effectively which I doubt very much because we know how hard that is.
So I would soon become aware that these are all alts and that would then undermine the government of Ximboland.
I would then have to sack some of the alts and appoint more capable Ximbos.
So that wouldn't make any sense would it? 

On that note if anyone is thinking of governing 2/3 minister roles with alt accounts then you had better be bloody amazing and a very capable person or its very likely I will sack one off your accounts very early on in the relationship and appoint whomever came second.

I want to assure Secretary SweetasNuts AND Miss Bimbo
That I have no plans to run for any SM position other than Reasonopia.
You will notice that, for the moment, I am a resident of Antitheocra.
The reason for that is tactical.  And specific.
I will be happy to reveal the entirety of Plan R  (Restore)
To Miss Bimbo and Sweetsy.  Privately.  If they are curious.

I'm one of the few active citizens in Ximboland that is defending this land, not undermining it.
I will never undermine Ximboland, or betray Miss Bimbo.
The opposite is true.
I will defend it using any tool at my disposal, that is permitted by the game.
What made me become so proactive?  So determined?  So focused? 
Take a wild guess!

Now...presently...why did I suddenly move to Antitheocra?

That is for me to know, and you, Polly, to figure out.

SweetasNuts, you have nothing to fear from me.
It's the opposition that apparently does.

Currently a Resident of
the Same State as Miss Bimbo - Antitheocra

PS.  Unblock me, Polly.  Face me on The Temple Mount of The Duelslayyyer.

With all my respect Katie but since when you need someone to unblock you to face them in duels? 
And btw they have never been into duels much.  Maybe you mixed them with Kat who is courently SM of Anti.
