Don't vote if you feel it's not worth it. Simple, really.
I for my part think that all CSMs did do a great job in getting what the playerbase thinks to the ears of CCP. Sure, there were bumps and some drama on the way, but still, the comunication gets better with every new CSM.
The CSMs got CCP to do things which would not have happened - even if some stuff was "low hanging fruits".
Even getting CCP to simply state why some stuff is done (or not) is rather satisfying and way more than players of other mmmos could ever hope to know.

After the great work of the previous CSM and their vocal expressions of frustration I'm in two minds about running again. However CCP did implement a number of changes I campaigned for, and there are still more where that came from, so I believe I shall throw my hat in once more. Vote Illectro for CSM5!

Declare war, wait an hour, withdraw war. Next day you have a war that will last for one hour, which can be a rather expensive war (considering that the price usually gets you a full week)

I suggest people don't get the idea that they can run on a narrow platform of fix X and actually expect to be able to get X fixed. CCP are only now putting time into issues raised nearly 3 years ago.

Just my .02, but CSM is no longer just about changing this thing or that thing in the game. It is a stakeholder and as such can be most effective when its members are able to maintain a bigger picture view on the game, the community, and CCP. Those CSM6 candidates who combine game knowledge and experience with the ability to communicate well, ask hard questions of CCP and insist on answers, and effectively interact with the community and media are going to be best position to leverage the progress of CSM5. CSM5 did not get the wins that we did by focusing on narrow elements of the game, but by making every effort to keep CCP accountable, communicative, and collaborative. No easy task--and not going to get any easier for CSM6, but absolutely necessary in the current environment.
For those considering running, and those reviewing prospective candidates...I urge you to consider all the factors that make for a successful CSM and don't draw your boundaries too tightly around hoped-for changes in specific game mechanics.

This is exactly right. I think we've set the CSM on a very productive, useful course with CSM5. However, it is a course that requires constant attention and quite a lot of effort. This is not just a :freetrip:.
And as mynxee said: while its tempting to run a "I will fix [feature]" platform, the CSM is about much more than that and you probably won't be able to keep your specific promise anyway.

Looking forward to seeing departing CSM members do live roundtable sessions, or even podcasts, telling the stories of how the CSM functions, what topic where went how, what methods in dealing with CCP for planning and scheduling worked, so that new CSM candidates do not have to reinvent the wheel and can figure out how CCP works.

There is a continuity document being written, also each CSM gets to read all the previous discussions and so forth in the CSM forum which helps. Additionally every CSM so far has had at least a couple of members from the previous session for continuity, and those former members who aren't delegates any more can still be contacted if there are specific questions to be answered.
No CSM after the first one has had to reinvent the wheel, what more often happens is that the candidates find when taking their places, the CSM is nothing like they expected it to be while campaigning and they need to make some sharp adjustments. --------------------------------------------------------------

perhaps you are confused as to what 'like' means... it would be like a war dec... but be much cheaper... have to be agreed on by both parties...
its pretty much a mechanic that will allow pvp for people that usually dont have any access to it... i.e. people who are in noob corps and people who just want a good fight without having to worry about getting ganked by 20 other guys...
can flipping is not an option becuase that just leads to getting ganked by multiple people
and going to low sec and negotiating a fight leads to getting boinked by 20 peeps in t3 ships...
we need a mechanic that will allow small time pvp...

Hi Jade,
This depends on severity. Generally relatively minor infractions of the rules (either ingame or on the forums) will not cause a candidacy application to be rejected. The longer duration since the infraction the more leniency is given. _______________ CCP Diagoras Research and Statistics |

Nope. :)
I'm running for CSM 6.
As a CCP employee at the time, I watched from the inside as the CSM grew from an experiment into something that's now become, what I believe, to be one of the most important forces for change in the direction of the game. At the end of the day, I believe that even the most bitter folks on this forum and in every EVE community all want the same thing - a fun and balanced game to play.
One of the key elements in moving the next CSM forward will be continuing to improve on the communication and accountability processes between the players and the developers. As someone that has been passionately involved from both sides of the fence, I feel I can do this very effectively.

It is going to be an interesting campaign this time around and I am wondering how many of the current CSM will be coming back for another kick at the can. Make no mistake, folks, you read between the lines and you can see that some of the CSM did a TON of work this time round and didn't always get the . . . responses or timelines they wanted (NDA's and such)
The last CSM set the bar quite high . . .
But I am willing to try as well.

Subjectively and purely based on what is visible from the outside, it seems among the CSM members you have put the most effort into it. That might ofc not reflect the actual effort and I can only suggest to (future) CSMs to get more visibility by engaging in dialog with other players, especially in AH. ________________________ CCP: Where fixing bugs is a luxury, not an obligation. |

For the summits in Iceland and for Fanfest you get a flight and accommodation paid for by CCP. Anything outside of that is on your own dime but there's nothing I can think of off-hand that's absolutely required for the role that you need to pony up for in most circumstances.
Amount of work done per week varies tremendously with the individual and the time of year - just before a summit the work increases a lot, outside of that I probably spend 10-15 hours a week reading and working on CSM stuff. --------------------------------------------------------------

What Helen said, and to add to it, CCP usually springs for dinner two nights; usually lunch is courtesy of the office cafeteria which seems to be pretty decent when CSM is in the house. So you are left to pay for your own drinks and food outside those times and of course while enroute to Iceland. Interestingly, I've never used cash while in Iceland--just my VISA debit card for everything (bank charges a tiny, tiny fee for each transaction but it's so small it is inconsequential--pennies, really).
Time per week varies per member as does the nature of activities; everyone has their own style, approach, and focus in carrying out their CSM duties but Helen's estimate is about right. Unless you're Trebor, and then its double that.

Why bother?
Based on the ideas that came out of the December meeting I'd just stop the charade. Just drop the CSM and instead of flying them out to Iceland, etc, just use that money to hire someone to actually work on code and see if you can fix this disaster of a expansion/patch.

CSM is more work than it looks, and can be very frustrating at times (both with the devs and with the players), but it's also very rewarding.
For while we can never dictate what CCP does (never believe a candidate who says "vote for me and I'll get you this"), they do take our feedback and suggestions into account.
If you feel like running, do so. I will...

If you want to do CSM right (or at least, what I define as right), it's a significant commitment. Helen's numbers are in the ballpark, but the peak workload for me is after the summits when all the minutes drafting and editing happens.
For me, the writing of the minutes is the most important thing I do on CSM, and my approach to doing so is entirely in accordance with the guiding principles of the great British Civil Servant, Sir Humphrey Appleby.
Bottom line: if you are thinking about running, don't do it if you're not prepared to put in the hours.

I disagree with this because identity is a powerful thing within the online world, and critically so within EVE online. In my opinion platforms and planks are generally just as important; knowing a CSM which puts in excellent hours, is an effective communicator, and also has a reasonable platform is better than nameless-faces for whom you cannot demand accountability nor predict their successes or weaknesses.

I still do not support this feature; Faction warfare exists within game as one way to do have PVP. Another way is to found two seperate corporations who can war with each other (EG Red Vrs Blue). Can dueling is also an option. This is off-topic, though. We can discuss this further if you create a new thread for it in features and ideas.

Even if this were a good idea, which it isn't, it would be trivial to work around.
Also, alliance members aren't the hive-mind drones you seem to suppose. Your suggestion is based on a false premise.

Identity is important; personally I would say that it is at LEAST as important as ideas/goals, and probably more so. No matter how good your ideas are, if you can't communicate them effectively you don't make a good representative.
Also, there is a difference between communicating ideas in prose and in a conversation (written or verbal). Someone who can write a stellar "statement of purpose" when given time to formulate and refine their ideas can be useless when they have to convince people on the fly. Personally, given a choice between someone with a good head on their shoulders who can communicate effectively with only a general similarity to my own viewpoint or someone who I agree with exactly but who has trouble communicating, I think I'd pick the former every time.

Edited by: Vaneshi SnowCrash on 29/01/2011 05:31:30 Alright fine, I might well put myself up for election.
Depends on how drunk I am. So should I open a paypal donation thing for "Get Vaneshi steaming"?
Why? Why not.
What'll be different between you and X? I'll buy my own ticket to Iceland (I'm unemployed so I'll do my best/video conference/whatever but if I can I will be there under my own steam... I am a good swimmer). You want someone who's not "paid for by CCP"? Fine, you got it.
What'll I bring to the table? Rampant alcohol and nicotine abuse the likes of which Iceland can only dream of and I'll show Johnny Foreigner how an Englishman drinks! But seriously, transparency. I sollomly swear I'll walk right up to the NDA and give it a damn good kicking. Fine, I'll respect CCP's "business and commercially sensitive information" stuff, which is fair, but other than that... whatever.
PvP? Done it. Lag monster? Seen it. PvE? Stupid Damsel. Incursions? Not so much yet.
So yeah, you want someone honest... cool. Get me drunk enough and we'll talk. We'll you'll talk I'll just dribble in the corner mashing buttons.
