Hi Lilly! Sorry I couldn't quote your post I think the button is bugging?
1) I think 2 months is a very short time and it may prove difficult to get things done. I think opening up the opportunity for people to run more frequently is a cool idea, although in practice I don't think it will work as great. I feel people may get fatigued in running every two months, and the excitement of the elections doesn't hit as hard. It's like, yeah it'd nice if Christmas was everyday, but it wouldn't at the same time, if that makes sense? I don't remember saying 3 months is a good idea, but now that you mention it I think it's a better option that just 2 months. I think we've all just gotta test the waters with this change and see what happens.
2) I wasn't aware of the site having an MoFA role until maybe three months ago, I think. It'd be nice if it was a more publicly visible role on the site. I think it's a good position and someone can have a lot of fun with it, though I also feel it's another voluntary role that doesn't get any official pay, which is sad. If someone is willing to put that time and effort in to do it for free, then by all means that's a great benefit to the site. But, MoFA is essentially the social media manager for XL, I feel that's a position that shouldn't be voluntary, and should be a part of Team Ximbo. Although, with Chris' recent posts, I find this role to be somewhat contradictory? He would prefer the site users to stay on the site and use this site as our social media, but also wants it advertised on other social medias. I really enjoy the thought of attracting new players onto the site, at the end of the day I came here from a famous YouTube video and have loved it ever since. I'd love for that to be the case for other people to. It's important to get the site out there and known, though I feel it's a bit cheeky for it to be a players responsibility to do that. However, I'm not opposed to the idea of having an MoFA at all, just that in an ideal world, that should be someone who is officially hired by the site owner in my opinion. Yes, PB benefits from having more users on the site because of the treasury, but the owner benefits a lot more.
2.1) I did have a candidate in mind for MoFA, yes, though I wasn't going to ask them until after the elections. I'm more focused on finding the right candidates for my Fashion Police right now. (If anyone reading is interested in helping to moderate the site - you can apply here :))
2.2) I'm quite unfamiliar with what is already expected of MoFA to be truthful, it's clear I need to do some research on the matter, so thank you for brining it up. From what I understand, MoFA takes control of the Ximboland Instagram and uses it to try and gain new players on the site. Using this logic, I would've discussed responsibilities and ideas between me and the person I chose, as I wouldn't expect them to be as active as FP or myself. I had someone in mind who I thought would really peak the interest of non-site users and bring them over, without putting too much stress on the position.
2.3) I've kinda answered this in my first two answers lol sorry. I wouldn't say the role is irrelevant, more underdeveloped.
3) I don't see why not! I've had a lot of fun so far. If I don't win, I still get to continue my role as State Minister which I love, so I'll keep truckin' on until the next election haha.
4) My bf is a difficult person lmao. Anyone who has ever met him has always said "I've never met anyone like you before, you nutcase", truth be told. He has his lovers and he has his haters. He can be unpredictable, and that never makes our relationship boring. What I admire about him, is that he doesn't give a flying fuck about what people think of him, which is a stark contrast to myself. He grounds me when I worry too much about what people are saying, and I ground him when he worries too little. I love him with all my heart, though I recognize he's not everyone's cup of tea. However, despite him being my bf it does not cloud my judgement. A lot of the times his simple bluntness is interpreted as rude and insulting, though this is not against the rules. Both of us have autism, and struggle with the idea of sugar coating everything you say to appear likeable. I care about this a lot, whereas he doesn't. I want to moderate fairly, I wouldn't try to control how someone else presents themselves on the site and tell them what they can and can't say if there's no rule being broken, so why should I do it to him. Trust me though, I recognize when he's being an outright ass! That is why I've given him two official warning about his behavior since he's joined XL. I hope this helps to demonstrate that I'm unbiased when it comes to moderating. Please believe me when I say, I do not agree with everything he does/says.
5) Yes, I believe it's Sandi Lut and KatieBoutique who you are referring to. I'm excited to see who else might crop up since the new senator changes are now in place.
Thank you for your feedback and questions, I hope the answers are to your liking <3
