Many of you already are aware that the elections of State Minister aren't far away. They are taking place of 1st December
Hope that everyone who intends to run have already made their election campaign and are ready to post it below in this thread for other state members to read and ask questions about them if needed.
To those who didn't know about elections or haven't still made their mind about running fear not, there is still time to do it ^_^
I want to encourage anyone who thinks they have something to offer and who is energetic enough to try your hand in running in this election. Being an SM is wonderful experience. You get to host events, interact with many different people from your state and also the rest of Pink House members. State Minister position brings a lot of joy.
Couple of things to consider if you intend to run:
1) In order to run, you have to be a paying senator (no artifacts)
2) You have to write a program and click the check box to confirm you are participating
3) Your programs will be visible for the public eyes from the 15th this month
4) Of course, you can add or edit your program later as well, but keep in mind that you won't be able to make any changes during the last 6 hours prior to elections. It also means you can't apply during that time if you haven't already nor to cancel your participation if you have already applied.
5) If you get elected as SM you will have to be a paying senator during the whole term - 4 months
6) If your senatorship gets canceled for one or another reason, you are losing SM status within 7 days and your state is going to be without SM until the next elections. During these 7 days you can renew your senatorship and continue to be SM.
7) If you are SM you are eligible to participate in PB elections
(Thank you to LillyAnn for allowing using her material from previous elections.)8) As SM you are also expected to be active and available both for your citizens and other PH members, as well as to do duties that come with the title. Even it might sound a bit too serious, being SM is actually quite fun and enjoyable :)
Tools that goes with SM role:
- As SM you are able to jail citizens in your state for 1 or 3 days
- You receive messages from Bimbo Mailman when citizens from your state get reported (note: you receive profile reports, not forum posts reports, and you don't know who is the reporting player)
- You are able to make pop-up posts in your town hall
- And, probably the most interesting of all, you are able to gift any citizen :) SMs can share gifts for posts/entries in Fashion & Forum contests and their own Town Halls, including 20 last threads in total. Keep in mind that prizes currency are diamonds only. It means, even if you decide to gift ticket or a chest, you need to pay for it in diamonds.
If you need more info on these topics you can talk to your SM or me. Here are listed basic and most important points.
In short, what is expected from you in case if you get elected as State Minister.
- Helping your state citizens with problems, questions they might have.
- Organizing state activities.
- Trying to keep your state town hall lively.
- Work together with rest Pink House members to make the site enjoyable for other site members.
- Considering running in next Prime Bimbo elections.
Remember to be respectful towards each other.
Good luck to everyone who is ready to step up ^-^
Love, Blecky ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
