True nowhere in the rules it says how long you have to work. It only says it is required. Starbuck did the work so Starbuck should get paid or at least given the option to give it to charity.
Changing the rules does not apply to past situations and when Starbuck became PB the rules are as I already posted. So it is crystal clear to me!

Maybe this is finally a real case for Bimboland Court instead of the silly cases we had in the past.

I highly agree! Why not finally bring to good use the fact that we even have a courthouse. This is something that should be decided democratically, considering it's money we all have a part in.

I third the idea to put this to court. I see conflict between Team Bimbo's actions and the ToS/T&C, so let's decide democratically how to resolve it. Any rules you make moving forward should not be retroactively applied to Starbuck's term, but we can vote on that too, if you insist. 
You have to see that you are upsetting a large number of paying members... if you're afraid a trial will make people lose respect for Team Bimbo, I can guarantee you that not allowing a trial or not listening to the players will lose you even more respect and trust.

The rule that I posted before has been the rule during the entire time Starbuck was in office. Changing it afterwards doesn't change your obligations. And Starbuck came into office on 1 June and resigned on 22 July. Which means you still owe her approximately 50% of the amount.
I  Agree why is Starbuck being denied what she rightfully earned?

Iulja is right, legal documents have to be taken literally.

It doesn't say a PB has to work throughout the whole term to be paid/choose her charity and it also doesn't say that her servin' half the time makes her eligible for half the salary. That is a problem with the terms and conditions - they are waaaay too vague! You gotta specify these things super super clearly, otherwise you leave room for legal loopholes. Of course any change in legislation is always made in a way that it affects future cases only, not the past - the so called Grandfather clause. This exists so like, new rules can be enacted but they don't just mess the existin' current situation up. 

I strongly suggest, Kimsim, that you guys take a day or two to really read the Terms and Conditions and do your very best to find and fix such loopholes. I'd say hire legal counsel to do it for you but I think those people charge like an arm and a leg... :( 

However, for the current situation with Starbuck, the rules are ambiguous and her servin' as PB for half the term does qualify as her  "working as Prime Bimbo of the Internet Republic of Bimboland". Therefore technically, she should be paid the full amount. If you ask me, a compromise of her bein' paid half the money is very generous given the ambiguity of the rules.

As for the rest of the money, I feel like the next PB (and I love both of the candidates so please don't take this the wrong way) shouldn't randomly inherit it. It would be better used to pay a developer to do some stuff. Accordin' to this website, you can get 14 work hours for 285 $ (at 20 $ per hour if you hire a university graduate), meanin' you might be able to get some changes/fixes made! If you hire someone from the US (as per this source), that increases to 16 hours. And if you get a rookie (someone still studyin' at a university), you might be able to get even more work done 'cuz they're more likely to wanna finish the work they started (youthful eagerness) :)

I completely agree that Starbuck should get to choose what happens with that money. Rolling it over violates the stated rules. I for one, will not be spending another penny on this game if Team Bimboland continues to refuse to follow their own terms and conditions.
Count me in on this as well. I'll cancel my senatorship and not spend another dime unless this is fixed. Starbuck deserves to be compensated as stated in the ToS, and this rolling it over shenanigans is just a cheap marketing ploy that is alienating their player base. I also agree that this is a situation where the Court could actually be put to good use.

I have just noticed this discussion and as I am short in time I hold it short:
Seconded to my previous speakers, Starbuck has the right to be compensated!

I think Starbuck should get the money put in during her active service.

I selected not to run in the election. I have no idea why I'm listed as a candidate. I'm not even a paying player anymore.
