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.

Grow up.
From the person cancelling their game accounts because an irrelevant player elected body was not dominated by people you like.

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.

What exactly do you think you've won? I'm not sure it has as much value as you think it has.

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.

Originally by: Dalketh 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.
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?
