Thee halobear8 Manifesto
Greetings legal aliens, citizens, senators, and PH staff alike! My name is Halo and I’ve decided to run in this Prime Ximbo election.
Let’s talk about what I’ve done for Ximboland first.
I joined Ximboland on Dec 27th 2022 when my best friend lovie444 encouraged me to join at her birthday party. Ever since then, I’ve been in love with this game. I loved everything, from the freedom to express my style and creativity, to the political aspect of this game filled with debate topics that I had a lot to say about. I started streaming Ximboland on Twitch and still do to this day, my most recent VODS playing Ximboland have 210 and 279 views. Now, if I may be honest, the audio is muted because my OBS was out of date. Still, this is the most exposure that Ximboland has received since Izzyzz’s video on Ximboland’s controversial past. My most recent VOD has 364 views and during the stream I spoke about the past and current government of Ximboland.
Over on my YouTube Channel, I’ve posted two videos relating to Ximboland. A guide to Ximboland which has 379 views + a video of me making my Gothic outfit which has 118 views.
I enjoyed creating a video that could help new players stick around. I hated seeing dead accounts knowing that the person behind them had left because they couldn’t figure it out. I also took pride in creating an outfit on video so that maybe others could learn how to layer their clothes, where to find labels for outfit fights, and help them express their creativity, etc.
I have also posted VODS from my Twitch streams when I played Ximboland and even when I wrote my manifesto.If anyone would like to re-hash allegations that were made about my content creation in relation to my presence on Ximboland please feel free to. + for anyone who is going back to look at the controversy of my previous manifesto, please take these allegations with a grain of salt. They came out of nowhere and most of them were unfounded, taken out of context, or just lies.
On to more positive things…
I am currently in my second term as the State Minister of Freethinkerland. During my time as State Minister, I co-hosted last term’s Fashion Week and I have hosted 5 fashion contests including Y2K Style, GrecoRoman Gods + Goddesses, Zodiacs, Accessories Galore, and Content Creators. GrecoRoman Gods + Goddesses was my ultimate favorite because of the high turnout including people from all different states!
During my terms, I have given out diamond rewards to Freethinkers who place in the Weekly Top 10 Leaderboards. I award them 5 diamonds for each placement they get at the end of each week. I plan to continue this tradition.
I’m sure that many of you have noticed my post in SAN’s manifesto thread about everything that I saw wrong with his manifesto. I advocate in the Xemocracy Arena and The Senate, wherever appropriate, for a better site and safer community for all of Ximboland. I don’t think we’re woke snowflakes for not wanting hate speech and targeted harassment on this website. In fact, I think that this decision is beneficial to everyone on the site including the owner. At the very least, power to moderate town hall forums should be delegated to SMs.
I believe in freedom of speech but that does not include hate speech and targeted harassment. I believe that freedom of speech does not include freedom from consequences. There is no reason why trolls should feel more empowered than real users who hold well-founded beliefs. The trolls do not deserve more freedom of speech than these real users. Targeted harassment and hate speech have never struck me as funny, only hostile and pathetic. I would love to have forum moderation similar to what we had during bxdcherri’s administration. I would like to promote a website where hate speech is NOT condoned.
I perceive Ximboland as an internet republic based in fashion, which includes both the dress-up game and politically-opinionated game. For these reasons, I would keep the Xemocracy Arena as a place where political conversations take place. I believe that we are adults and we can have conversations surrounding things like trans rights without referring to trans people as predators. I also believe that if there is a desire for a thread around religion, we can hold such a conversation instead of creating alt accounts that are caricatures of Middle-Eastern men to get points across.
I would like for the Official Court forum space to no longer include petty prosecutions over “bad fashion”. I’m of the belief that if SAN would like this to continue, he needs to move these topics elsewhere and leave the Court forum thread for necessary prosecutions only. He is making a mockery of our community and democracy by continuing his behavior. On a similar note, I believe fashion is all about freedom of expression no matter your size, race, class, sexuality, gender, or disability. We all had to start somewhere on our journey to becoming fashionable. With every outfit we create, we level up our ability to create different and more intricate outfits. Even in terms of bimboism, goth and alternative bimbos have contributed to the culture of being a bimbo as well as having political affiliations.
Our previous Prime Ximbo bxdcherri campaigned to not prosecute individuals deemed to have bad fashion taste and was voted in partially due to this policy. SAN went behind her back and prosecuted ximbos for bad fashion, anyway. I understand the potential in getting the forum more clicks and more views, however I feel as though these numbers have no real value in accumulating revenue. Therefore, this seems to be an abuse of power only intended to single out and promote harassment of users. I will do everything in my power to discourage SAN from prosecuting users for what he deems to be bad fashion.
I would make sure to add forum threads to the Xemocracy Arena to encourage users to become more involved in the political aspect of Ximboland. These topics would include gay rights, pride parades, drag queen storytimes, religion, immigration, women’s rights, etc. Since this is in the Xemocracy Arena, it will not be censored but I will encourage everyone to hold a mature conversation without involving hate speech.
I will need to open up applications for positions of Fashion Police, Minister of Justice, and Minister of Foreign Affairs. If you are interested in any of these positions please PM me here on Ximboland with the title being “Application for (x position)”.
I have received permission from bxdcherri to reinstate the rules that were previously created during her term as Prime Bimbo. As for my infractions system, we will operate on a “3 strikes you’re out” policy. For every 3 strikes given, the user will incur an ascending nature in punishment.
1 day forum ban
3 days forum ban
7 days forum ban
1 day jail
3 days jail
7 days jail
30 days jail
Going to trial
If ⅔ or more incidents occurred on the forums, forum bans will be issued. If ⅔ or more incidents occurred on profiles, dms, or through abusing the block feature, jail sentences will be issued.
Example:
2 strikes issued for rule-breaking on the forum
+1 strike issued for rule-breaking elsewhere
= 3 strikes total, 1 day forum ban
2 strikes issued for rule-breaking on the forum
+4 strikes issued for rule-breaking elsewhere
= 6 strikes total, 1 day jail.
I look forward to hearing everyone’s input and responding to questions!
