Good day and many thanks for bringing this issue up.

Sadly, this issue reminds me of the bodyguard scandal from the old missbimbo site (which I have spent real money on before it's closure.)

Many bimbos cease spending real money and instantly quit the game.

Thought Bimboland would be different but after seeing this, I've decided to cease all real money expendature on this site too.

Thank you, Madam PB. Eventhough this issue arrised on the very first day of your leadership, you willingly took position to help other bimbos and states as well.

What is the bodyguard scandal? I played MB briefly but wasn't really around for the drama.

I sent Sachem a link to this thread with a request to read this urgently. Normally Sachem never ever responds to messages and maybe doesn't even read them. But he is the ONLY one who can change this back.
I still think it's weird to make a change like this and I can't understand why they would do this. I do know that the owner of the site (Sweetasnuts) like to mess with us (check his posts in the forum and you'll know what I mean). So I suspect him of doing this just to stir things up.

But since nobody knows for sure and Team BImbo went completely silent all of a sudden we can only guess why. But if this update stays like this then I am going to stop spending money at least, maybe even quit. It takes a lot of fun out of the game.

TLDR: Bodyguard = Pimp

Missbimbo (old site) had this forced change.
There were high drama and mass revolts yet the bimbos were still forced to have bodyguards/pimps.
Whatever you earn by job or even pay with real money will be deducted.
The more you earned/pay with real money, the more you had to pay the bodyguard (pimp) a.k.a protection money.

As someone fairly new to this site it's really fucking bizarre how hands-off the developers and staff of Bimboland are with the website. I've never seen a website where moderators and higher-ups have this much trouble with talking to the administrators. And frankly, it's pretty disappointing. There doesn't seem to be any obvious way to get in contact with them outside of the bug report form at the bottom of the page.

I'll give Kimsim credit, they responded pretty quickly to my request through the bug report form for a refund when I accidentally paid for Senator this month, but it's still rather odd how hard it is to talk to a staff member here.

i agree with everything thats been said but reading this took me out a bit. the fact that the people who run the site are busy having a weirdo little roleplay going instead of communicating with their user base, especially those that actually pay them is....a lot. it's very delusional and they need quite a reality check. like why push things somewhere where your users clearly don't want them to go. like i'd think you'd want to keep your base and appeal to new players as well and clearly most people are here for a little escapism, to make some pretty outfits and have fun so why would anyone want to come on here and get stressed out or competitive or political or whatever they've been trying to push for i guess years. very strange.

this whole situation is a mess

honestly i find it kind of funny that right after this site's profitability doubles due to a viral post on tumblr (ie, team bimbo had nothing to do with it) they have to make a change so bad people are threatening to leave/stop paying. they really couldnt just accept the 20,000 new signups, 10-15 new senator subscriptions. i was just telling my friends the other week that bimboland is cool because all of their updates are something the players want, and people don't complain, unlike reddit or youtube where changing the color of a button sends people into fits of rage. but then by some sort of divine irony team bimbo makes the worst update ever and i dont think anyone likes it

anyways i agree with everyone above that this is a bad decision, and will just incentivize people to vote for their own state rather than someone they think will make a good prime bimbo. also it doesnt reward people from other states who voted the winning prime bimbo, which is kind of a slap in the face. that you can vote for someone, they win, and then someone who didnt vote for them gets a reward just because they picked the most popular club while joining. 

are team bimbo trying to encourage everyone to spend $10 to join the two biggest states? because i dont see any point in making it so that only the largest states have a chance to win the bonuses, and then increasing the price to change states (because i do see people joining atheista/freethinkerland to try and get future bonuses. no way am i going to get them here in agnostica, may as well increase my odds to 50/50). rings eerily similar to team bimbo refusing to put a warning on the boob job screen saying that it's broken & will ruin the game for you. likely in hopes that people will spend $5 to do the surgery and then $5 to fix it. i count 100 diamonds as $1 because collecting 1000 diamonds would take weeks, they want you to drop $5-10 and buy the diamonds for these types of things

i will give team bimbo until the next PB elections. i'm not going to cancel my paid membership over $10 worth of gifts for everyone in atheista, but if this doesnt change by the next PB election i will cancel my membership because it shows the site owners dont care about keeping their userbase happy.

please pay attention to us, kimsim & sachem :((

Thanks for using the platform to say something about the negative impact, FWN.

If we could pressure for transparency, I'd like to know what the reasoning behind this update was. Actually there's a list of things I'd like transparency in that are tangentially related here:

- Announcing updates before they happen with dates and times is a MUST. With estimated update length included in the announcement. This is basically a standard in games nowadays unless a game patches similarly to how League does. 
- "Patch notes" of sorts in which all changes that are going to occur, as well as the reasoning and explanation behind those changes, are a MUST. Especially in a game that wants to be an internet republic.
- Feedback threads PRIOR to updates in which players can discuss the potential positives and negatives of coming changes before they're added to the site. A public beta-analysis discussion, if you will.
- A system to know exactly who proposed, approved, and supported the above changes before they were made. Accountability to hold to each person in charge of the site making such egregious and unfair changes that can dramatically impact the landscape and economy of Bimboland. This is less probable because accountability whomst? But the above things should be considered bare minimum, absolutely necessary. 

Again, FWN, thanks for saying your piece and supporting everybody's play experience here.
