Ok, so how do we cast our vote? And if we have multiple accounts can we cast more than one vote?

Funny how many people dont realise that anyone can be lying, even this guy. Usually someone who says he isnt lying may well be lying to just get votes his way.

what exactly is there for me to lie about? the CSM is fundamentally misrepresented by candidates, and you need someone who can forge it into a working bloc to try to actually achieve power, rather than being the whitewashing PR stunt that CCP presently has it
'oh look we listen to players we fly nine dudes to iceland a couple of times a year!!!'
if you think this is not the actual truth, you're sadly deluded. if you think someone promising to fix blasters in this forum can actually deliver on that - christ, i don't even know

So how are your personal views less important if the CSM is more like a feedback group CCP bounces ideas against than if you were bringing Assembly Hall ideas to the developers ?
Sounds like you just want to block them nerfing your logistics and limiting your ability to hold deserted space you never use or whatever "important issues" alliances are getting prissy about this time of the year, by presenting CCP with a false impression of player consensus.
I don't think a feedback group should present an unified front at all.

Yes i am, considering CSMs have been elected with as little as 7% votes i'd be really worried if they had more influence. But last i heard they all thought removing Jump Bridges was a pretty sweet idea, that was a nice show of unity there! What are your personal feelings on the issue ?

removing jump bridges would be ******ed, but ccp is likely to make a move on the bridge issue before the csm election actually goes through, so i don't think it'll have any practical relevance for CSM6. which is a shame, since the last time they tried to make a major balance fix in nullsec they created the hilariously profitable but unbalanced and stupid tech bottleneck. welp!

You never had any issues about the tech bottleneck when you lived up north where they were at. Now that you are down south you are expressing that the situation is wrong.

2. I called CCP Chronotis a dunderheaded idiot in a column before the changes to tech even went through.

On your website, you make a big deal about the importance of getting the chairmanship. What, in your mind, is the role of the chair?

Darius could motivate goons to go do stuff. Darius was also a laughably ineffectual CSM delegate whose terms accomplished nothing of value for the playerbase or the overall state of the game (he got himself a job out of it, though; yay!). Why should anyone assume that an ability to motivate goons will translate to an ability to be a good CSM delegate? Signature removed. |

Your platform is fine, but why does the king of the goons need my vote to get elected? Aren't there other candidates that could be valuable to your magical coalition of reason that need my votes more than you?

Originally by: The Mittani The Foreverwar might be cooling off, but the war against drooling hisec missionrunners, lowsec k/d pirates, and 'elite pvp' nullsec nonsovholders is only beginning; it is CSM time, and the current crop of idiots is looking to ruin everything we know about sovereign space despite having never lived there themselves.We are now uniting with our allies (and even our nominal foes) to ensure that the Nullsec Bloc seizes control over the CSM, Jump Bridges aren't removed from the game, and that CCP is forced to get a clue.
Did you write this?
Originally by: The Mittens In this election, there will be no 'democracy'. In the past, Goonswarm has held primaries and divided its electorate among competing candidates. This year, you have two candidates: Vile Rat and myself. Legion of Death will be putting forth Death, Krutoj, or both for the DRF bloc. The NC can't put up Vuk (he's moving to Slovenia and won't have time) but will presumably be able to put up Elvenlord or someone else who is 'sound'. TEST will be putting forward a candidate on their own, assuming the ravages of unchecked voting and freedom do not ruin their voting bloc. If IT still existed in any appreciable form, I'd have contacted them about having one of their guys stand; we're hoping that Awagon will put forth someone, either Herculetz or Manny.
So you are of the belief that all the seats of the CSM should be held by those that belong to 0.0 power block sov holders only? No one from high sec, no one from low sec and no non-sov holding entities who live out in 0.0?
Originally by: The Mittens ]It has been a year, because CCP increased the terms; we are now on the verge of another election cycle. In this past year, CCP claims they have begun to 'listen' to the CSM, and what a time to listen. Most major nullsec alliances gave up on the CSM ages ago, and this year-long term is full of nobodies and carebears. With the exception of Vuk Lau, I don't think any of these people have a single system of sovereignty.Yet this is the pack of drooling idiots who CCP is now 'seriously listening to' about what should be done to change our gameplay. These are the people - who have never dealt with a jump bridge in their life - discussing how removing jump bridges and trying to make nullsec logistics 'less fun' will simultaneously make the game more fun and fix lag at the same time. We can no longer ignore the CSM or the threat which its unchecked idiocy presents to every single player who lives in conquerable space.We cannot sit idly by and allow these wretched lowsec pirates and mission-hub *****s to try to pollute the minds of the developers - devs who, in case you have somehow forgotten, barely play this game and certainly don't do so in 0.0.
The idea of CCP removing jump bridges or nerfing them does not agree with you?
Also, you seem mad.

Edited by: James Tiberius Kirk on 26/02/2011 08:32:06 Are you willing to break NDA?
If not, how will you even be different from any other CSM member?
Your general attitude towards CSM is commendable, but do you even believe it yourself that you are able to deliver?
Are you willing to report your own members to stop botting if it comes to that?
Your alliance openly violates EULA, are you going to try and protect them when it is apparent that the discussion is going against your alliance agenda?
Are you planning to say anything that isn't a lie?

TheyÆre lying to you.
All the promises from the CSM candidates, all the æissuesÆ and æfeaturesÆ theyÆre going to address - itÆs all a pack of lies.
Welcome to the CSM candidacy Mittens, nice to see you finally throwing your hat in the ring.
However, don't put us all in the same basket. While many CSM members in the past have got in by making promises to the general public, that's not been the case for all of us. I would actually say that the most valuable members of the CSM over the past 4 terms I was a member of were the ones who didn't make promises of the kind you describe.
I just want to address this point.
Originally by: The Mittani
The CSM is a sounding board. CCP comes to the CSM and lays out their ideas about whatever theyÆre thinking up, and itÆs up to the the CSM to provide feedback while gagged under a nondisclosure agreement. <snip> I know this because my directors have been on the CSM since its inception, and weÆve watched with growing frustration as the CSM showed promise, then failed to accomplish anything relevant.
On one hand you say: "I'm not going to lie to you, I know how the CSM operates, we're a sounding board", on the other hand you say that process you want to be a part of failed to "accomplish anything relevant". Pick one :-)
Now, since you agree we are a sounding board, a feedback mechanism and a lobbyist group for things we'd like, you must know also that most of our accomplishments are not of the form "hey, we gave you this, on our own, because we said so", but rather a continuous collaboration with CCP where features we promoted made it in with CCP's design and our feedback on that design, or things that came from CCP but we had a significant impact in altering to make sure it suited our needs, desires, didn't upset things more than was needed, etc. (not always successfuly, but we can't force CCP into doing anything).
If you want other examples of things the CSM has been responsible for providing significant feedback on to the point the resulting things were better.
- Microtransactions (or lack thereof :p) - UI redesign (including but not limited to new contextual menus, assets search, contracts, eve mail, fitting savings) - Titan changes, Naglfar changes, fuel bays - Bettering the GM department (work in progress, but the progress exists and is relevant) - New Player Experience There's many many more things... But it's a collaborative process, not anything the CSM can point at and say we're solely responsible for. So don't bash us for that, you won't be able to do anything different.
That being said, welcome again, good luck with your campaign. For those who intend to vote for The Mittani, all I can say is that from the limited interactions I've had with him, he looks like a fairly clever guy and I'm curious as to what he could bring to the table... |

The only reason your probably going to be a good leader is all those other goonswarm candidates will be elected at the most....You shouldnt call people deluded, you should convince them instead of calling them names, Good way to get another voter moron.

He's not lying. It's not like getting on the CSM is going to ~magically~ allow him to tell CCP to do anything he wants, because we all know that the current CSM structure gets almost nothing proposed done. Ever.
It's just a group that CCP bounces ideas off of then says "Hey look, the guys you people elected agree with us!!! PRAISE THE CSM! PLAYER INTERACTION!!"

with the exception of the wife-beating question the rest of these were pretty reasonable.
1. of course i'm not willing to violate the nda.
2. i'm a mother****er.
3. i don't know if i'll be able to deliver. i do think i'll be able to do a better job than 'nice' csms, but that could just be my arrogance blinding me. still, i have a solid track record of forging coalitions and making enemies into friends to accomplish common goals. i'm also flat out more politically wise to the ways of human influence than most people angling for this spot.
4,5: this is a common and reasonable question. every alliance has EULA violators. it's not the job of an alliance leader to play space-cop when CCP clearly isn't enforcing ****-all on the botting front. EN24 has done a series of fascinating articles on botting and ccp's utter lack of response to it; on average they might only be banned for 1-3 days.
if you think it's the alliance leader's job to enforce the EULA, you're not going to vote for me. that's a silly position, though, if you consider it for a microsecond or two: hey look i climbed to the top of **** mountain, let's resolve ratting disputes all day! there's no point in being an unpaid CCP gm when CCP themselves don't enforce the things you're reporting on
as someone who enjoys small-gang pvp more than massive fleets (irony alert) i'd prefer if botting was pursued aggressively, as there's basically no solo pvp to be had since the natural solo prey - the idiot ratter - is now an automated auto-logging machine.
