Congratulations to all that were elected.
To the Mittani, I wish you the best at appropriately representing the capsuleer community. If you screw this up just for craps and giggle, well..............just sayin'
To all the ignorant posting here, just because CCP doesn't say anything about it, doesn't make behavior right or appropriate. Dirtbag politics is dirtbag politics and is performed by dirtbags, period.
For the goons, please make sure you keep your head with you all day today, as it sounds like a number of you are wandering around without yours.

Pretty sure accounts not connected to goons voted for Mittani. Congrats to Mittani and Seleene. This should make for an interesting CSM.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

Congratulations to the winners, here's hoping the good work built upon will continue to proceed further with CCP's support in taking player concerns seriously and making good use of the CSM.
Also I hope new members will make use of older members knowledge and advice, both those with prior CSM experience on this CSM and those who served in the past. I'm sure most of the former CSM members over the years would be happy to offer advice if asked.

Or, to quote Eric Cartman, "Screw you guys, I'm outta here."
In all due seriousness, I dislike the Goons, including the cutely named "Mittens", because I find their humor sophomoric and very much "Animal House", which I am not a fan of. It's not personal - I can't honestly say I even know anyone who is a Goon (or will admit it).
Honestly, I think the next year is going to be one of very little to no improvement in Eve due to the makeup of the CSM and the stigma that some of the players behind the characters carry with the player base.
That said, I hope I'm wrong. I hope this CSM moves the game forward - but I can't help being reminded of the last time we wound up with a self acknowledged troll on the council. (Larkonisgate anyone?)
At any rate, good luck to the CSM - and if you're an alternate, please, for the love of God, keep your passport current. You might need it. --Vel

Really? How's the search for those weapons of mass destruction coming?
Please - the American political system is so hopelessly broken at this point, they can't even come up with a budget to keep the government from closing. Both the Democrats and the Republicans should, frankly, be ashamed of themselves. --Vel

Originally by: Ankerr Feranniss Congratulations to some of the elected (the ones elected by real players)!
It's quite a sad day to see the CSM so thoroughly exploited by the metagaming coalition, by the alliance who invented some of the worst things in game, and to have as a chairman one of the most devious players in the whole game.
Anyway he has always said he likes to scam and spy and to turncoat, so hats off to the (few) real players who actually voted for someone who will devote his whole time to ruin their day, and mock them while doing so
Gee I didn't know Goons did EVE programming? Goons found ways to EXPLOIT existing game mechanics before/better than others. If you don't like the way some of the mechanics work blame CCP it is their game after all.
And if you are dumb enough to fall for a scam, well not much hope for you anyway in life or EVE. Remember if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I am sickened by the fact that 0.0 alliances - the only coherent and decently organised powerblocs - had failed for the previous CSMs to act according to their weight of numbers.
Democracy is defined by the people who vote. In exchange for his leadership, we got the mittani some free trips to iceland with his buddies. If you have a problem with that, simply get 2000 in game accounts to vote for you, if that is hard for you then I guess you need to re assess your position in the game.

Heh. I personally bought 3 months of game time for each of my 8 accounts through the buddy-plex system. 32 votes for my guy at no extra cost to myself - since I would have spent that isk on game time in the long run.
(time value of isk not withstanding)
You too, can game the system. This time - we won.

Originally by: Jane Bennet It's interesting the number of votes cast is split into a "30-250 day" age bracket. Why can't we see a "30-60 day" age bracket, to show how many PLEX were spent on buying votes? (buddy program + PLEX = 51-day old voters, normal free trial + PLEX = 44 day old voters).
Anyway, gz to Goons, you won EVE. My three accounts have been unsubscribed ("OMG HOW CAN YOU STILL POAST??!!?!" Well the paid subscription time hasn't run out yet), and probably won't open again. I paid to play EVE, not to play GOONs, to paraphrase an old Goon battlecry.

Absolutely. We haven't had much to do since kicking Evoke around and bringing down BOB II or IT or whatever they called themselves.
I fleet of horribly fit, ramshackle low/high sec pilots blundering their way around nullsec would be worth every isk I have just to watch....

We won an election? Sorry, was that unclear?
The election is of minimal value beyond letting 8 friends have a free trip to iceland to have a good time. I fear the people placing great value on the CSM seats are those running for the hills about the goon attack.
It was minimal hassle for us to vote as directed, and achieved something more important than the CSM seat - outrage and angryposting.

The thing I respect about the the "New Goons" is that they very often tell the truth. Starting with The Mittani informing the voters they were a "bunch of suckers". By voting him in you show you are.
Here is another Goon telling you straight up that they are here to cheapen your Eve experience. Congrats to the Goons on another "Winning Eve" moment. By appealing to the lowest common denominator you have risen to the top of the food chain. Genious.

Originally by: Meissa Anunthiel Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone who ran!
This is certainly going to be an interesting CSM...
Meissa, CSM 2, 3, 4, 5... and 6! \o/
Congrats Meissa Anunthiel, seems people like a balanced representative. I am glad to be one of the 2,086 who voted for you.
Aside from the congratulations, what are your thoughts on this blog: Linkage
Do you think they will accomplish the stated goals?
What is the basis for your answer?
Do you generally think this is a positive or negative move in terms of nullsec?
Do you think such a change is balanced?
What do you think of the playerbase's reaction to the blog?
Is there anything you would like to add to such changes? I don't know where, I don't know when... but something awful is going to happen xD |

This is exactly what the problem is with the new CSM... Goons 'directed' to vote.... ordered in other words. Sorry I understand people winning by number of votes, but when a faction has thousands of votes to 'direct', it is not representative of eve as a whole. No - not crying or giving tears, but it is a sad thing. It makes it a farce. I supported the last CSM and thought they did well. This one is growing pains that CCP should take a lesson from at the best.

Edited by: Kireiina on 29/03/2011 07:07:14 You have a serious misunderstanding if you think an "executive order" will have goons acting in lockstep or against their own interests. If they voted for Mittani / Vile Rat (I did) it's because they believe that those are capable people.
If you think they're going to turn the game into some "goon playground" then you have a critical misunderstanding in how limited the power of the CSM is. Go and read the Mittani's election thread where he *tells* you this.

Once again the alliances win Eve. The CSM is a joke voted for by lemmings and a wealth of new accounts only a month old, paid for by the very same alliances. How odd.
Thankfully this CSM will achieve as much as the other CSM's. F**K ALL.
Until CCP open up and show details of voting profiles (age of account v who they voted for) then most will simply view the election as "rigged" and it will continue to lack any form of credabilty. CCP simply dont have the b**ls to create an open election as they have the alliances firmly in their pocket.

I'll humor you and run with your paranoid delusion that nulsec alliances sunk trillions into PLEX to create a few thousand voting accounts. Yet even if this is true, if even a tenth of the other 300,000 accounts had actually bothered to vote those trillions would have gone to waste. People even got prompted to do so on the login splash screen, in the "newsbar" to the right of the character selection, and on the eve website itself--ignorance of the election is not a credible excuse.
Your claims of overpowering nulsec votes frankly fall flat. If there is an overpowering force in the CSM elections it's voter apathy and laziness.

0.0 playerbase as a group puts by far the most effort and energy into this game, in the form of diplomacy and logistics, and in the form of assets at risk, metagaming and newsworthy events. Given that, it is inevitable that the immense communication structures, in and out of game, will be put to use in this and all future CSM elections.
Nothing stops you from mobilizing thousands of empire dwellers, beyond their insular communities and disinterest in the CSM. Many of those don't read these forums, or the devblogs. Rather than worry about our ability to block vote, focus on communication with the people who would gain a lot by being involved in eve outside of the actual game itself. Who knows, maybe eve would benefit too?

Yeah like they ran those anom changes across the CSM.....hmm no reports of them in any of their notes.....
Nothing will be fixed, or at least nothing the player's want fixed. The CSM is just a PR move and always was, they have no say in the game, pretty blogs to the contrary don't make it true.
Its the same as it was in SWG, The Senate was told one thing, heck half the devs were kept in the dark about certain projects and then they just did whatever they wanted. It is why it died, and CCP would do well to learn from the past before they repeat it.
