Trebor Woodhead, I have respect for your work on the CSM, and you deserve to get re-elected, but when it comes to RP related stuff/perspective, I hope you'll stay silent because I seriously think that you have no clue what you are talking about, all the other candidates seem to get it better than you, if only slightly so. So sadly, I can't give you my vote. Nightmares - A short story by Ch+¬ Biko |

Every time someone brings this up I keep thinking about post 9/11 and how politicians were claiming other politicians wanted to 'surrender to terrorism.' It's the type of claim that's so hyperbolic and misguided that you can't imagine anyone would actually believe it, yet they do.

But it just as easily could have been Trebor, and for the same reasons. His play style is not my play style, to be sure, and he and I don't agree on everything. But he's an experienced CSM member with great contacts into and the respect of CCP, a great writer, has relevant real world experience, has a unique perspective on the game, and can work with a wide variety of personalities. He's a great transition member between previous CSMs and this one. Vote Now! My recommendations are:-á 1.James Arget 2.Ayeson 3.Nathan Jameson 4.Cipreh 5.Chitsa Jason 6. Malcanis 7. Mike Azariah 8.

I don't believe I have ever expressed strong views on EVE-related RP, but just so you know, I played in many of the early Society for Interactive Literature LARPs back in the mid-80s.

My opinion was based on your positions and comments on stuff I consider to be RP related on the Votematch site, Perhaps my sampling of you has been too small, but I think you'll get elected anyway, and I prefer to spend my time in researching promising candidates that might not make it.
Good to know you have RP experience, but I don't think that has translated well into the MMO(RPG) that is EVE. But I guess I already said something like that.

Considering the game company in charge of UO made that decision and not player representatives, you seem to be a bit overly paranoid.
You are just wasting energy railing against Trebor over your fears. CCP will make the direction of where to take or what to do with the game.
Just to spark your paranoia, perhaps CCP sees the new comers from Dust and recent improvements a bigger base, then your overly paranoid, oh help us save UO which butt hurted us crusade people. Signature removed for inappropriate language - CCP Eterne |

I'll do everything I can to help him -- and every other member of CSM8 -- be as productive and constructive as possible. If he chooses not to try to make positive contributions, I (and everyone else) will firewall him off.
Trolls on the CSM find out very quickly that (a) this is serious business, so nobody has time for their bullsh*t, and (b) you need the help of your colleagues to get things done. The end result is that trolls either grow up or go sit in the corner and sulk (lobbing the occasional lump of their own ***** at the adults).

I thought they would work together, since the election system Trebor wanted, would reduce the number of people from alliances from being block voted in. Surely Riverini would appreciate what Trebor was trying do, and they would both show each other mutual respect.
You just trying to split allies Frying Doom, and weaken trebor?
You should try to strengthen trebor and ask him instead if he will be able to work with many null sec block candidates, or does he hope they go AFK during the CSM, so he can pretty much ignore them. Or perhaps he will just redo history if too many null sec people make the CSM and try to change the vote, instead of working with them.
Also another question for Trebor, so you can theoretically throw poop in the Icelandic headquarters then?

Frying, I understand you are going to complain about the results no matter what they are and perform the mental gymnastics necessary to assure yourself you were right all along, regardless of what the evidence might actually show.
But you know, you might want to wait until that evidence is available first so it's not quite as obvious. I'm just saying. Everytime you vote for Trebor, DNSBlack's Arazu dies. |

CCP Xhagen wrote:- Problem one: voter turnout. I think we've established how we can address educating the voters. The actual act of voting is something that I want to keep out of the client, but I'll push for a solution to the problem where opening eve pages (forums, eve gate, etc.) in the ingame browser does not have you logged in there that give us a better idea of how the voters (not all EVE players, voters) want the CSM to be. - Problem two: representation on the CSM. CCP Veritas pointed out the error in my thinking, what I want is not actually fair representation of ALL EVE players, but of THOSE WHO VOTE (it follows from there that the more people that vote, the better representation we get). The current voting system is sufficient, but there are many vastly better systems out there. So, I want to bring your attention to this one (thanks CCP Veritas!), the ' Schulze method'. Basically a preference ranking method of individual choices. It would also mean that people could put between one and fourteen people in a ranked order. It does not transfer any votes, it simply ranks the candidates based on how many people choose them and in what order. - Problem three: bloc voting. Not a problem in my eyes. If large numbers of people organize themselves, they will get better results than those who do not. - Problem four: designating chairs for specific things on the CSM. I still maintain my opinion of this not being a good approach to the CSM. Again I state that I want things to come from the players. If CCP starts to dictate who runs, for what, who says what and things like that, the CSM stops serving its purpose. If there are 5 null sec people are elected, that is a message in itself. Anything I'm forgetting? As CCP Xhagen could only identify 2 that he considered a problem. Voter Apathy and Representation.
As all I can see is an increase in voter apathy and an increase in the wasted votes as we can no longer count abstains or people who would have voted but did not due to the complexity of an STV system or the fact that campaigning seems to be at an all time low (Due to the preference voting of an STV system and the fact so many candidates are similar).
But the CSM will be more representative of those who actually decide to brave the STV system and decide to vote. Vote Now! My recommendations are:-á 1.James Arget 2.Ayeson 3.Nathan Jameson 4.Cipreh 5.Chitsa Jason 6. Malcanis 7. Mike Azariah 8. Ripard Teg 9. Mangala Solaris 10. Ali Aras 11.

STV absolutely fixes #2, as it will definitely ensure a better representation of the actual voters, especially compared to FPTP.
Of course, it avoids a trickier question - will an accurate representation of the current voter base produce a varied, desirable CSM? Unfortunately, that question never got asked, I presume because the voter apathy issue being solved would have taken care of that. It's just pretty typical CCP to tackle the easy part first (the voting system, a solution that can be solved with code) while letting the difficult part (fixing voter apathy) slip to the wayside.
If this would have been handled 100% properly, #1 would have been the prime focus before anyone even looked at #2 (unless the attempt to solve #1 showed that #2 was the problem, which I strongly doubt), but despite every effort to put CCP onto that path in Xhagen's voting reform thread, it never took. It's situations like this that make me wish old CSM communiques and whatnot would be removed from NDA, as I'd kill to see how much talking about this even went on behind the scenes, let alone what direction it went in and who drove it. "Look any reason why you need to talk like that? I have now reported you. I dont need to listen to your bad tone. If you cant have a grown up conversation then leave the thread[" |

STV absolutely fixes #2, but for a more efficient system I am surprised they didn't save the time and just have Trebor vote. It would have been 100% efficient, with no wasted votes at all. Then that way you would know 100% of the voters choices are represented.
But seriously CCP has actually done more this time than it ever has before to increase voter awareness. Personally I think they have stopped a mile before they should, "I voted" Tags on the forums for 12 months would be a great example as were attack ads. I have never seen a RL election where the awareness campaign started a week after the election.
I think fixing this mess will need to be CSM 8s highest priority otherwise by CSM 9, no one will want to vote at all, not even Trebor. Vote Now!
