Take back your voice in the CSM!
CCP has offered us a representative system to voice our desires and concerns. Votes are cast for individual platforms proposing several game improvements favorable to our community. The people behind that platforms might deliver or not, and the trust put behind them is usually reflected in the number of votes.
I am giving you something different.
With the advent of new technologies, steps to to make your every vote count, steps toward direct democracy can be taken. I am giving you the system of Liquid Democracy, where every player can directly vote for every single issue put or to be put forward in the CSM. In simple words, an electronic voting system that allows direct votes or every topic, but also includes the possibility to delegate votes.
This system responds to the very core of game life: true freedom
Whether you are one individual that is concerned about the future of EVE, a corp CEO or alliance leader, you can vote for every single issue instead of being offered just limited consultations.
One player one vote. You trust the alliance or corp leader, then let him have your vote in the system.
You trust somebody else? Vote for me and you can then let the best people voice your concerns!
This way alliance leaders and good players will keep doing what they do best, while me as your CSM representative will be just your voice, with have clear support in voicing com unity concerns to CCP.
Choose yourself for CSM representative!
Vote Night Beagle for CSM! |

Literally the only difference is that you promise a gimmick that will a) not be implemented by CCP and b) be rendered obsolete by the NDA anyway.
In the interests of showing us that you actually have opinions rather than pretending to be a blank slate for the populace of New Eden to urinate all over, could you please provide a critical analysis of this CSM candidate's platform? What do you agree with? Why? What would you change? Why?

Also some information on who you are, where you come from and what you do would be helpful in persuading me to choose you over any of the other candidates who promise to act as nothing more than a telephone between the players and CCP.

@Singular Snowflake> NDA is just a mean to protect economic interests of CCP. However it is not meant to be an obstacle in getting community input and following it does not exclude general consultations. Also the minimal issues that might be limited by the NDA can receive input from the community if enough participants are already in the system and proposing changes.
@Kainotomiu Ronuken As I stated in another topic, I choose to adopt a different mindset and deviate from the savior/leader/know it all stereotype. We need true community action. From my point of view, running for CSM is not a job interview, nor a political option. The community does not chooses the brightest mind for a specific task (as no test is being administrated) or the best political platform, as nothing else but relaying of message can be done in relation with CCP. More, the number of votes given to any candidate is not a guarantee of community reaction to specific issues, a problem that can be easily solved by my proposal. I have a minimum set of skills that qualify me to participate in the elections from CCP point of view, time and resources to do what I propose, RL qualifications to raise up to the task and traits to make it work. If this counts for you, I am European, lawyer and consultant in IT policies, and English is not my primary language. Also I will not comment on other people platforms or get into a roleplaying/mesianic attitude. |

What I'm seeing here is a stubborn refusal to elaborate on why anyone should vote for you over any of the other candidates running on 'increased CSM-player interaction'.

Unfortunately for your campaign, the majority of the community rightfully does see it as a job interview. What can you provide for this community, that means we should employ you as our embassador?

If you think there are "minimal issues" covered by the NDA in the CSM process you haven't been paying attention.

Are we discussing about being a consultant for CCP or somebody to send real feedback to them? A CSM member claiming to speak for players should not only have the votes and limited forum feedback, but to be able to prove that the community is in fact proposing solutions and improvements through him.

@Robert Harrison I do not claim to be the inventor or the sole supporter of direct democracy. The question is: are you ready to take responsibility and vote for yourself?
@Kainotomiu Ronuken You asked the reasons to vote for one candidate or another, thus implying a comparison of some sort. Am I taller, smarter, better looking, better literate or a smother talker? Is this in anyway relevant for the discussion? Am I or am I not is pointles to even try discerning, but I think the asking that questions it helps to determine the roles we play on the election stage. It seems like a measuring competition, and might be in some cases, but we discuss in a false dichotomy. There should be no split between the candidates and the community, as the real parties are CCP and us. Maybe some prefer the type of candidate that promise to change EVE and ensure a happy and bug-less gaming for everyone. Maybe others feel they need a better person, in whatever way you can think off, to take split second decisions and provide them a better gaming environment. I cannot promise to be that person, in fact I am not here to offer you something, but to rock your boat and show that you do not "need" anyone. CSM is not a almighty decision body that makes or breaks the game in a meeting. It is in fact a slow moving wheel in a mechanism that might or might not be used by CCP. I am running to put you in charge, to wake you up and give you responsibility. What am I dping in game? : living in a WH, enjoying the pixels being blown up, visiting null and LS whenever I got the chance. I did my share of living in HS, trying all kind of gameplay, and settled where I am now. however this is easy to see from my ingame profile.

I can't believe that you are unable to comprehend that CSM candidates are going to be compared. Last year there were 40 candidates who made it into the final voting round. This year 16 people have already announced their candidacy - almost two months before CCP is likely to even begin thinking about CSM voting season. That's already more than enough to fill all the available seats. Trust me, I am not 'implying a comparison of some sort', I am telling you that you are going to be compared. How else should we choose who to vote for?

The fundamental flaw in your platform is that we're discussing being a member of the CSM. Your platform is wholly based on doing things that the CSM, in its current iteration, does not have the power to do, and there is no guarantee that you'll be able to persuade CCP to make your platform viable. How can you expect people to vote for you on the off-chance that CCP might implement your idea that will allow people to have one out of four hundred and fifty thousand votes on the possible direction of the game?

Are you trying to explain to me what the CSM does? I am honestly confused here. Let me repeat myself: Your idea will not work, because even the *questions* that CCP asks the CSM are covered by the NDA. You *cannot* ask players to vote on things, because they cannot know what the things they would be voting on are. Sometimes you cannot even reveal that the CSM was asked a question at all.

If you think this, then why bother having a CSM at all? If CCP decides they can tell everyone everything and ask them to vote on it, why bother flying 7 people to Iceland twice a year? Why bother with the NDA? CSM 7 Secretary CSM 6 Alternate Delegate @two_step_eve on Twitter My Blog

I suppose attemting to make my point subtlely wasn't enough. Others have tried "direct democracy" as an engine to get voted in... They faded into obscurity... I'm sorry, but I don't see this ending any differently.
Besides if wanted to vote for myself, I'd be running for CSM.

@Kainotomiu Ronuken and Two Step
I need not to remind everyone that EVE is a game of numbers, and CCP is in business of making money out of it. By applying a platform like Liquid Feedback, 1 CSM member can quantifiable show community support, thus bringing added value to his position. You are revolving around the fact that CSM members receive info during meetings and need to take a stance. I am telling you that taking a stance based on personal impression is wrong. I do not advocate (yet) the use of the system during CSM meetings, but before them, on the biggest number of topics one can identify. In fact it is my opinion that CSM itself could have reduced roles and a Liquid Feedback could be implemented by the CCP to have bigger and better coverage of community feedback.
There is more than one way to skin the cat,

I think you are missing their point.
The point they are making is that at no point will you be allowed to ask for a vote because CCP is going to have you under an NDA, and will require an answer from you about your opinion within a very short period of time. You will not have the opportunity to run a poll to ask what you should say, as you will not be allowed to reveal what you were asked. |

He thinks he's going to ask the community directly about every single imaginable issue and then relay the results to CCP himself. As if CCP didn't read the forums, or anything.

Did not changed anything. You all started with the assumption that only what is discussed in CSM meetings counts, and those meetings are the endgame. I consider this assumption false and see CSM more than a focus group. Also forums are one thing, used by a small part of the player community. My proposal brings the advantage of quantifying and involving larger number of players with a concrete result. |

It seems to me that when he is elected he runs his pole.
Something like: What are your main concerns in WH space. He will have a list of issues that the WH community is concerned with.
The voter logs in and gets to pick 3 choices on the list he feels effects him the most. The list may have a large amount of issues depending on what the WH community thinks.
Then Night Beagle compiles the list and the top 3 with the highest vote margin becomes the main priority. It seems to me three is a good number because you can't tackle everything. And those are the three issues he fights for.
If there are any major changes in the game he can run another pole. Or run one everyone 1 to 3 months.
Thats the way I understand it and I am sure Night Beagle can elaborate or correct me if I am wrong. ROVER (REDRUM)

There are no barriers to accessing the PUBLIC, CCP run official game forums. You get access to all the information therein with an active account. "Not all people visit the forums" is about as much of an excuse for being uninformed about game issues as "I didn't know the speed limit, officer" when you get pulled over right next to a traffic sign.
As well, from a political science perspective, direct democracy is laughably the single worst idea you could imagine for dealing with an electorate/voting body of more than a handful of people. Yes, its ~legitimate~ and the illusory "will of the people," but its far more susceptible to manipulation and the promotion of an uninformed, un-engaged electorate. If the WH community wants to do something internally for that via polling and crowd sourcing, fine. Expecting that its a good idea for the CSM and a good platform to run on? Not so much.

Outside of basing your platform on something that will never actually work, what can you actually bring to the CSM? What do you as a player stand for? It's all good & well to say that you will support the playerbase as a whole but we all know it doesn't work like that. You have a political agenda as does every other candidate & if you want to stand a chance against them, people will need to know this agenda so they can vote accordingly.

@Kainotomiu Ronuken > CCP needs to have two things input form the community and the public image that they are comunicating with the player base. My platform offers both. And players interested in this will participate. The others may choose to vote for somebody to do the thinking on their behalf. There is no shame in that, only a different path.
@Lykouleon > One can blame the uninformed voter only after the information was clearly brought to their attention. Looking at the number of messages om the forum compared to the number of players and the activity on the ingame channels and alliances external forums I can safely state that the forums are only reaching a small part of the community. If direct democracy is or not a good political systems is surpassing the current framework. I am not here to make or discuss politics and even if I disagree with your opinions, I will limit myself to the fact that my platform responds to a need.
@Mallak Azaria The best way find if it is working or not is by running in the elections. I will not pretend to have other objectives, even if I do have opinions on the current ingame subjects. Some of them will be presented in the podcasts featuring me in the next period.

I think my first post is explanatory for what I stand for. If that does not satisfies everyone, it should not be a problem as in a community different opinions lead to growth and progress and this is what we all want. I am offering a true way of community input instead of running with a platform that would be unachievable with the current CSM mechanisms. If one prefers a candidate that promises to support a specific change, then the same one should realize that it is not the CSM that decides but the CCP. Therefore, no matter what one dreams, having someone to talk on their behalf is preferable to somebody who tries to push for the ideas that advantages one group or another.
