I wouldn't be a good member of my political party if I didin't take the time to explain to you the importance of voting for the CSM over the next two weeks.
I personally believe that voting and democracy are the most important processes after respiration and digestion.
Why?
Well in the case of this particular vote, it gives our community a chance to elect a representative council of players who will act as a guiding hand for CCP over the future months and years. However the reverse is also imporatant, they will have a responsibility to report back to us the players and answer our questions in a more un-restrained manner than CCP can. Do not be fooled, if the CSM see something that sucks they will tell us it sucks.
I'm still not convinced, isn't this just a publicity stunt?
So what if it is? Whatever happens nine people will be flying to iceland to push foward a mandate and CCP will think hard before dismissing it for they know how quickly the bubble will burst if the CSM return unsatisfied. The CSM will return with answers if nothing else, and good answers at that.
Ok, sounds fair enough, but why should I bother Goonswarm and the other big alliances will just fill up the seats won't they?
No no no no NO! That will not happen, don't be surprised if the big alliances get at least one seat on the council, however many candidates are popular in different circles, like Industry, the forums, role players, community services etc etc. So if you want to stay out of politics (and keep politics out of the CSM) vote for one of the community favourites.
But, I'm a lazy guy, I never vote in real life cos the booths are too far to walk too...
Well I'll be seeing you later about that (in an allyway weilding a ballot box), but fear not Mr Apathy, for the 21st century brings electronic voting! Yes thats right with two clicks of the mouse you will have voted for your csm candidate. Simply follow the link given after DT today and select your candidate. It will take less than 30seconds so why not?
I hate the CSM and I also hate CCP for this ridiculous idea! I refuse to vote!
Well, if you really hate the idea there is an abstain button you can select, if you really want to make your feelings known why not abstain so CCP can reveiw the voting process or the CSM all together. Not voting doesn't help CCP improve the game whichever way you look at it.
Very well,your wise words have persuaded me sir, but I do not know who to vote for?
Lucky for you there is plenty of info available, check out the candidate infozone post on this page, the Jita Park Speakers Corner forum, and sernity steel's CSM webspace fora list of candidates, their manifestos and questions and answers by the candidates and interested players.
Good luck to all the candidates and please please vote everyone!
THIS HAS BEEN A PARTY ELECTION BROADCAST BY THE GET OUT THERE AND VOTE GOD DAMN IT PARTY!
