Overwhelmed by all the candidates? Can't decide who to vote for? Despair not!
Vote Match!
What? The Vote Match website presents the user with a list of statements ("PvP should be optional", "Trade orders should have a 1000 ISK minimum increment", etc), and compares the answers the user gives to the answers given by CSM candidates. Using this comparison the website then calculates a match percentage, neatly identifying and displaying which candidate represents the user's views the best.
How? Go to the website and click on the "Vote Match!" link. Fill in the 30 questions and we'll take care of the rest!
Cool! Yes, I think so too! So please if you run into people who do not yet know who to vote for, point them to this website . Spread the word!

Thanks much DV, this is an awesome tool. It's interesting to compare how close the positions of so many of us candidates are based on our answers and "important" questions. Was it similar for CSM 4? I can't remember.

No. Positions were more spread out last time around. Not by too much though.
This time there is no hot button "Nurf X" type of threads about. Those help to spread the numbers a bit. Additionally a few of the questions were a bit of a no brainer answer. Everyone is really going to give a thumbs up to a "UI" patch but it is something that CCP can/will never do (at least in one go as the question states). Kinda makes the question pointless and waters down the matching process. Add to that there is the "fix bug's over adding new content" question which is basically the same thing, just about everyone will agree and CCP won't/can't do. The end result is a bit more muddled result this time around.
Funny note, You (Mynxee) and Ankhesentapemkah landed within 6% of each other when I did the vote match survey. It's really kinda funny since your one of the C&P's "Anit-Ankh" candidates. Guess pirates are really carebears at heart... or are carebears really pirates???
(Edit: Reread after posting and saw that my post sounded dismissive of the vote-match service. I did not intend that. I think this is a good thing for the CSM election. It is just that this time the questions are not as well selected to truly differentiate the candidates. So while it narrows the field a bit the user has to do more research on which candidate is best for them this time. Quite honestly that is not such a bad thing.)

Perhaps it needs a few more divisive questions. All things considered, Mynxee is pretty reasonable, and there weren't questions like "Should all low and null sec space be changed to 1.0 security?" and "Should people who pod be banned from the game?"

When I did the vote-match as a "player" I was pleased to see that "Mynxee" was my top match (one would hope so!!!) but surprised at how close the next 6 or 7 candidates were...all within a couple % of each other. I tend to agree that perhaps the question pool lacks sufficient "opposite end of spectrum" variance to clearly differentiate candidates. However, it is a fact that many of the candidates DO care about similar things--low sec revitalization, pvp balance, and UI fixes, for example. If you look at their position for the various questions, and their "important" question, it's obvious there is more agreement than not regarding the answers.
Perhaps this time, we'll end up with a CSM that is fairly well on the same page, open-minded, and highly synergistic. Might be a very interesting situation in a CSM-as-stakeholder situation.

Edited by: paritybit on 06/05/2010 03:05:28 With 53 candidates and only 30 questions, it's hard to find a lot of differentiation. But I think the vote match site is a great stepping stone on the way to determining who you want to vote for; there's a link to each candidate's page which will give more detailed information than any survey could give you.
Also, if there are issues that you really care about, you will probably find that one of the top candidates is a closer match in that area than the others.
So many good candidates ... so hard to choose (well, I have it easy, I have to vote for myself).
