I'd happily list all my characters. But i doubt CCP will list not verify them, due to their privacy policy.

Ok, i will probably lose popularity point by asking this, eventhough ill not hide behind an alt:
a) what would be the added value of this except optentially destroying the Candidates ingame experience already before the vote?
b) some of us have several accounts, how deep do you want to dig?
c) what do you expect to find?
example from a CSM POV: Ingame i might be a cap pilot and my alts help me with logistics, cynofields etc and one could assume that a CSM would appreciate if the ingame enemy finds out about this by fair and conventional means.

I agree to a large degree. Some people will make themself vulnerable by revealing alts.
Personally i have a pvp character(Templer Relleg), CEO Alt(LaVista CEO), EBank Alt(EBank LaVista), research alts(Ly, le, livista vista), a hauling alt which is being deleted now, in order to make more research characters, because lavista can fly a hauler now.
I'm known as Chadk other places on the internet, "Chadk" was my first trial account. Chaddy is a character of mine, but i haven't played it for a long time.
So i have nothing to hide. But i fully understand if people don't want to release this information, and i fully respect it.

You are representing the community as a person, and we need to judge you on that basis. Simply taking the actions of one character in a multi-character game is not a good enough measure of someone's worthiness as a community representative.
Originally by: zoolkhan b) some of us have several accounts, how deep do you want to dig?
I want to know all your characters from all your accounts, which is why I would like CCP to provide and/or verify the list. I would even go as far as requesting CCP to list the names of any character you have owned in the past.
Originally by: zoolkhan c) what do you expect to find?
I hope to find nothing, but I expect a few worms to crawl out of the woodwork.
I can appreciate the example you provided of how this could ruin a candidates gameplay, but honestly the pros outweigh the cons here. Far more damage can be caused by an unworthy candidate being accepted onto the council than by your enemies having a list of your alternative characters.
Granted this runs a little deeper than at first glance, but that is exactly why I want this list revealed.

i disagree
a) we are not crimals be brought in front of a tribunal b) we have very little benefits from doing this, the danger of corruption is low the personal effort and investment too high for doing something bad imo. Nobody would waste so much time energy and personal life just for having a laugh at somebodys expense. c) if ccp would give in, they would have failed to announce it in time - which was before application phase for CSM, when the conditions have been set and the candidates have agreed to those and started to scan their passworts - now its too late, one cannot change the rules of a game after it has begun.
"1:0 for arsenal, no wait .. the judge walks on the field, he announces a new rule. the goal is not valid unless the goalkeeper admist beeing atheist!"
d) i would expect the benefit of the doubt
but most of all:
e) one should judge us by our RL actions, and they are yet to come, and not be distracted too much from ingame stuff.
if someone would approach me in private, and requests to know more about me, i would like to have the ability to decide on a case to case bases whom i as a candidate but also as a player can trust and whom not.
Well this is my 2 cents, and you yet have to name a proper expample for what your reason behind this is. .. other than.. unspecified dangers.
I am still eager to learn of what dangers it is youre fearing, that would not be compensated automatically by a 9 heads council with most different folks sitting in it from most different directions.
... and the brain that CCP has - the existence of a council doesnt mean they do follow every bad advise that could possibly result from the council of mordor that is not disclosing its alts.

No I don't think CCP will be doing this. And for the record I agree with Zoolkan. Its nobody's business really. CCP have already done due diligence in checking RL identity, passport and location data, and ensured candidates have a clean record to run.

It's not really about that. I need to make a judgement on your character from a very limited amount of information. I cannot exactly send a private investigator after you to delve into your personal affairs. The only recourse I have to assessing you as a person are your replies on this forum and your activities within a virtual universe.
CCP have the ability to supply me with that information about you, and rather than me needing to convince you it is the correct thing to release that information, you should be convincing me of the evils of doing so.
Arguing from a privacy aspect is ludicrous when you have supplied your country of residence and full name.
Arguing there will be a diminished gameplay experience for you also doesn't float.
Asking us to judge you on your RL actions and give you the benefit of the doubt could effectively turn this first election into a wasted vote, and any subsequent vote for a first-time candidate. We cannot judge you on your RL actions, so we need to be provided with the next best thing.

You're misinterpreting my reasons for wanting this information. To put it bluntly, I do not care about the crazies, that is CCP's concern. And you are correct, I'm sure they have done their part and will continue to do so by putting procedures in place to deal with any potential nasty situations.
I want this for one reason and one reason alone, to judge your character by having your actions on all characters across all accounts brought into focus. That dictates the only reasonable way in which way can interpret your character as a person.
It is my business, it should be everyone's. We are not voting for a forum personality or famous character. We are voting for a person, and we deserve the right to see their ingame roles in an entirety.

I don't think it's much to ask for Alt names.
Think of it this way, I as a voter and not going to vote for a person who personally scammed a few hundred mil from me. Why should I? If one of the alts did something in game I didn't like I really don't want to reward that person by voting for them in something that can really effect the game.
Anyone that says "That's wrong" is only fooling to themselves. If I was running for CSM and went around suicide ganking Haulers, destroying barges, scamming people all over the place and being a general a-hole in game. Would I expect people to vote for me if they knew who I was?
So I don't think it's much to ask for alts. The only people it will effect is the people that use their alts to be a-holes in game.

But since I donĘt have anything to hide: Bolla: my builder T1 and T2 (form invention) MaD Pirate: retired suicide alt that now acts as my back alt. + 3 Noob alts used to look up market prices and scouts

I'm with Zoolkhan and Jade Constantine on this one.IMO it's simply not relevant. I'm not revealing the name of my exotic dancer or slaver hound either.
I'd just like to clear my name anyway by adding that my alts are: Mynas Atoch SirMolle Butterdog LilianKhan
I hope managed to offend a few people by failing to list their names.

Originally by: Ray McCormack Will CCP be releasing a verified list of candidates' alternative character names across all accounts?
Since the CSM application process said that you can even create a brand new character in order to run for CSM, I seriously doubt CCP would ever do that (expose any alts you might have), and I doubt they would ever certify that all "alt" characters belong to the same real person. On the flipside, they WILL be publishing your real name, picture and so on and so forth. Sounds weird ? Maybe it is. But that's how things are.
Feel free to not vote for candidates that refuse to post all alts, feel free to believe all alts a person has are the ones he listed, feel free to do anything like that... but never expect CCP to tell you "character xxx is owned by ABC, and so are characters yyy, zzz, etc"

I think its relavant. It goes towards a candidate's trustworthyness of a candidate. I too have no wish to unknowingly vote for some well known scammer's alt character. If someone is willing to scam friends, noobs or whoever, out of thier assets.. even if it is a "part of the game", I would not trust them to do anything they promise to do in RL either.
This includes any platforms or issues they are promising to support/push as part of thier job as CSMs.
That said, I doubt CCP would do this, especially for those who choose not to.
However, I think an acceptable compromise might be for CSM candidates to voluntarily divulge the information and ask CCP to confirm thier authenticity. This way, you can choose not to, but if you do, we know that you're not BSing the voters. BSing and scamming may be part of the game, but if this CSM thing is really an OUT OF GAME process, then that argument is moot too.

I too was wondering exactly about this.
No offence to SS, i know you are a good guy. It's exactly relevant. With the rumors that you are a bobbit, people wants to know.
I would expect no less myself, if i had a character in a large alliance.

You either have an account that allows 4 characters, or 2 accounts of which one doesnt have all slots used:-)
Huh, thats really cool .. compared to you my alts have really clean records.
Respect for this outing mate. All the best for your campaign.
I am a defender of private rights in RL, a fighter for freedom and anti-cesonsorship its hard for me to abadon my principles.
However, anyone who wants to ensure non of my hauler or cynoalts has scammed them is asked to contact me directly in game to learn about my alts.
This is IMO a reasonable compromise which of course bears the risk that this person could go to forum next day and just publish that data w/o my permission. But at least by doing so i learn something of the character of a person ;)
