C. goumindong doesn't count This must mean goumindong has been removed (fired?) from Goonswarm... if not, he is still a goon... and so counts... --------*****-------- Learn and be informed, because a Politicians worst nightmare is an informed voter...

Hamfast Gallente	Posted - 2008.04.21 16:16:00 - [2] CCP Xhagen, You need to find a translator for those CSM candidates that seem not to be able to post in English on these forums... as well as translating posts and opinions from this forum those forums that cater to those customers that speak other languages. As I remember you said that CCP would make sure the CSM could communicate, it's time to show us you can. --------*****-------- Learn and be informed, because a Politicians worst nightmare is an informed voter...

As I remember you said that CCP would make sure the CSM could communicate, it's time to show us you can. And I still stand by that. I did however double check the candidate list and all of those who are from non-English speaking country list their English knowledge as being either 'Fair' or 'Good'. But should a candidate need any assistance, please reply to the confirmation email received and I will get right back to you. My apologies, I went back and looked again and it looks like half the people that do not have a post on your list are in fact English speakers. My first glance at the list I saw that Azzazell, Technomagg and ork chief were all from non-English speaking countries and had nothing posted... I assumed it was a language problem. --------*****-------- Learn and be informed, because a Politicians worst nightmare is an informed voter... So choose your CSM Candidates wisely

Noone else truly independant, as in not belonging to some powerhungry corp? Looks like I have the home-field advantage! 100% Female 100% Independant 100% Dedicated to YOU! sexy pose I hope you people realise that this person is questing for pvp flagging (mutual pvp) and a loss insurance for suicide gankers. I spoke at length with her in local. If you want to destroy EvE by all means listen to her. Take Care is basically a Make EvE WoW movement. Soon we will all be flying our Hacs back from the graveyard while these "independent" 4 year noob-corpers run their missions in the blessed safety of high sec. Her description says nothing about Take Care's motives. How can people who don't participate in the majority of the game (not even joining a corp, for god's sake) have a say in EvE's direction? EvE is not a single player game, it never will be. If you'd like it to be, by all means track down Elite or Privateer, or failing those Freelancer. I can only hope that having Goons on the council will protect pvp and keep this pvp flag garbage of the servers. Also (at least I hope) CCP will probably veto anything that mindless. And if enough of us agree with her, she will be elected... nothing says she will be able to get any of her issues changed by CCP, but they will be voiced and answered (I hope)... As for your Chicken Little "The Sky is falling" fear, you have no faith in CCP if you think they will turn this into WoE (World of Evecraft). Personally, I like about half of Ankhesentapemkah's ideas... --------*****-------- Learn and be informed, because a Politicians worst nightmare is an informed voter...

Hamfast Gallente	Posted - 2008.04.21 20:17:00 - [5] I agree with you, but: Originally by: Arithron Edited by: Arithron on 21/04/2008 19:28:30 Interesting topics of discussion taking place, but I wonder how many players posting here have actually read the CSM summary? It clearly explains the role of the 9 elected persons- I see nothing about them suggesting their own ideas to CCP or in meetings, without them first being posted on the CSM forum for ALL players to read and discuss/comment/support. Even then, they need the backing of at least one representative or 5% public support from the eligible voting player base. Arithron We the Voters need to take into account the items that a candidate supports, a candidate that fails to inform the electorate on their views could in fact support anything (or nothing) and therefore add nothing to the CSM beyond a warm body. It is your ideas and allegiances that separate you from the rest of those running, what you are interested in, what you think can be done to help improve the game, what needs to be changed... and something you obviously figured out, the realization that you may not accomplish a blessed thing (if all the CSM's ideas are counter productive to the designs of CCP) --------*****-------- Learn and be informed, because a Politicians worst nightmare is an informed voter...

Hamfast Gallente	Posted - 2008.04.21 21:30:00 - [6] Originally by: Sabrina Al'Kian I'm probably going to vote for Andrew Cruse because he seems to represent my views (almost entirely). On the other side of the spectrum, I might vote Valantijn. Of course, it all depends on how many candidates are to be elected, how many votes we're allowed, and so on. I can't seem to find the rules for this election anywhere, so I remain somewhat confused. 1 vote per account, highest vote count = CSM chairman, top 9 vote getters = CSM, next 5 are Alt's --------*****-------- Learn and be informed, because a Politicians worst nightmare is an informed voter...
