Given the recent attempt to completely remove democratically elected governments from the game, as well as continous lack of communication and accountability for Miss Bimbo, I think it's high time we present a list of demands to our government upon which our membership hinges. This thread is an attempt to organize all ideas from Constitutional crisis into one document.

Voting for 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7.

Right now, something to balance Atheista's state bonus sounds v necessary. The first one, in the long run, seems like a MUST, we don't need the elections to be even more fucked up >:(

Edit to clarify #8
8) State Ministers must have a clear and communication and accountability process for relaying ideas to Miss Bimbo.
This point should read "State Ministers must have a clear a̶n̶d̶ communication and accountability process for relaying ideas to Miss Bimbo."

I would like to expand this idea to include accountability of actually implementing changes. Miss and/or Prime Bimbo must coordinate and commit to a calendar of changes and explain delays to satisfaction, else risk removal or non re-election.

For me, the priority should be undoing this decision, issuing a public apology and committing to greater communication in the future. There are things on this list that could improve user engagement (some of the ideas are mine!) but I'd be happy as long as there is accountability for the terrible mistake that was made. I'd also like to add that as a long time non-paying player, it doesn't bother me that only paying players are eligible to run for State Minister. This doesn't strike me as unreasonable -- the game has to make money somehow. It IS ridiculous that the State Minister role has virtually no privileges or responsibilities outside of getting to run for PB. Is it any wonder there's such low interest in running? So, if we're talking about ways to making the voting system better outside of un-doing the update, giving State Ministers special bonuses and making the elections longer would be the first things I'd do.

I'm relatively new but also a non-playing player. I agree that the game has to make money somehow, but it seems to me that running for office isn't the deciding factor when someone is choosing whether or not to subscribe. The other perks seem worth the cost, and it's apparent that the peolpe who are paying to play aren't doing so for office eligibility. I don't think removing the requirement would drastically effect their revenue, and it would likely increase government participation.

Be careful what you wish for.
  You all are following the path that eventually caused the Miss Bimbo game to getting shut down.
     Did you ever think this might be a test, by the owner?  As many have said in other threads too,  a social experiment.
Occupy Bimboland's,  was the same gang mentality, that ruined Miss Bimbo.  Think about that.   Do you really want Bimboland's to be destroyed too?
   I know the owner/ Miss Bimbo/Chris very well,  and all of you are not doing yourselves any justice right now.  In fact, your demanding thing's, that are totally counter-productive to Bimboland's.  
  Chris must be laughing at you all now, for the simple reason,  he SHOOK up the ant-farm.
  I tried to ignore the issue, because I know how his mind work's. 
  Now you all are making me become involved.
  For better or worse, I am a Founding Member, and I serve Justice and Fairness.  Some of your concerns are totally valid.  Other's, 'Not so Much'.  
  I will be in contact with the owner very soon and see what I can do, to mediate the situation before Occupy Bimboland's burns our home in Bimboland's to the ground, like they did with Miss Bimbo.
 Signed,
Prime Bimbo HeavenLeighBimbo (R)

Call it shaking up "the ant-farm" as much as you like HLB, but the fact is that if the owner continues to ignore the players, players will stop paying. Whose loss of income is that?

all I can say is good luck HLB

if chris wants to throw away a perfectly good source of income that’s up to him. all i want is the reversal of this latest update, it breaks the game. i’m not paying to play a broken game, it’s that simple. if bimboland gets shut down that sucks but this is far from my only time sink so *shrug emoji*

Where is the lose of income, for space on the server for 'Non-paying' player's?
  I'm not here to debate anything, however.
  I've been following the topic and intimately know the player's concerns, because  I've had this conversation year's ago with the owner, while making Bimboland's.  This is not a new subject for us.  I was chosen to represent the Player's, By the owner, before any election's were ever held.  Why? 
         Because I approach problem's without 'personal' emotional reaction's.  I was originally hired to be the voice of the Bimbo's, and believe it or not there is no term limit, for earning the respect of the person who controls the FATE, of Bimboland's.  On the face of it,  I went through the process to be elected too.  However, sometimes 'lurking behind the curtain' is true political power.
  The more everyone speaks out,  the better I can communicate to the OWNER. 
          He may use Miss Bimbo's account,  but I just can talk to him like a human-being.
